Brando has always been concerned about Veronica's instructions. He nodded solemnly to the latter, and then nodded to Princess Gloria on the side.
The latter looked at him without saying a word. She lived in Buche for decades. It can be said that she watched Roman, Freya and Brando grow up. Although she was not the parents of these three children, her heart Feelings are not inferior in the slightest.
Now that the children have grown up, they have their own choices regarding their future.
"Brando, don't be aggressive." But in the end he couldn't help but reminded: "You don't understand how important you are to this world."
Brando did not answer. The answer was only to weaken his determination. He turned around and looked at Akane behind him. He just wanted to say something to him, but the latter took the initiative to speak:
"I'm waiting for you in Tonigel, Lord Lord."
Brando couldn't help being stunned. He probably never thought that the mountain girl who had always relied on him would say such a thing. He thought it would take a lot of effort to get the other party to stay.
It's not that he doesn't want to bring Qian and the others, but because he really has no bottom in his heart. The black moon fell to death and the wolf walked around the world. This is a sign before dusk, and the meteorite in the sky will fall to the ground immediately. Who can say well what will happen
He still has the unyielding will to use, but he can't guarantee the safety of Metis and the others. Therefore, this time, he doesn't even plan to bring the creatures of the traveling mage with him, and all commissioned Princess Gloria to transport them to safety. Where to go.
He had long thought that he would go to the outer city alone.
Akane looked up at her lord, "Miss Roman needs your help. I don't want to be an adult and your burden. One day I will definitely fight with the adults."
Brando couldn't help smiling with relief. After so many incidents, the mountain girl finally grew up in his eyes. She could finally see her heart clearly and firmly grasp her destiny in her own hands. NS.
"Yes, you used to be the strongest fighter with the firs collar. Have you forgotten, Akane? I believe it will be like this in the future. You are an Azure knight, no worse than anyone. Maybe I see you next time. At that time, you will have lived up to the legendary name."
Qian gave a soft'um', and she lowered her eyelids slightly, her heart full of happiness.
Brando glanced at everyone in the courtyard again, then turned and walked outside the White Rose Garden. When he passed the main entrance, he heard someone calling his name behind him.
"Your Excellency Brando, Lord Earl!"
The voice yelled from a distance.
"I’m Henriette and Bradjet is my grandfather. He was beaten to the ground by your grandfather! You may not remember the name, but it’s okay, I’m going to challenge you, you remember you There is still a duel for Henriette!"
Conrad grabbed his friend tightly and glared at him: "You are crazy!"
Henriette looked at Brando's back disappearing into the darkness with some regret, and shook his head: "Of course not crazy, but it's a pity, I still want to find him a friend."
"Then you still challenge him?" Conrad was so surprised that he almost lost sight of the end of the sky.
"Is there any contradiction between these?" Henriette replied proudly: "The challenge to Lord Earl is to maintain the glory of my family, whether it is victory or defeat, but as a descendant of my grandfather, I must I want to set an example. But in my heart I admire Lord Earl, and I am willing to forge a friendship with Lord Earl. This is my personal business. There is nothing wrong with it. Even if I die in the hands of Lord Earl, it can only prove that I have learned. The art is not refined."
After a pause, the young man said naturally: "Furthermore, did you hear what Veronica and the others said? Her Majesty the Queen has promised the Supreme Ring to the Earl, and has a good relationship with the future Emperor. , Isn’t this a matter of making money without losing money?”
"No," Conrad shook his head: "I think the crux of the problem is that you have to fight your Majesty the Emperor."
"Then I will do this before he becomes the throne."
The question is that this Lord Earl can really ascend the throne? So Conrad couldn't help but fell into deep thinking for a while.
…
Freya felt as if she had had a strange dream.
The pale full moon, the dark night sky, and the shadowy black pine forest in the distance, the moonlight illuminates everything clearly. It is a wooden and stone farm that is very common in the countryside of Buchi. It is next to a barn and a stable. , The fields in the distance seemed to be shrouded in a layer of silver, and slices of barley swayed slightly in the breeze at night. This is the most common scenery among the Buchi countryside in late summer.
But she faintly felt that when she had seen a similar scenery, not in a dream, the fragments of this memory lingered in her mind, but lingering, she repeatedly thought about it, but could only draw some trivial conclusions. .
It makes no sense at all.
But she knew she was dreaming.
She was standing in the yard, behind the avenue leading to the forest, and the open door of the farmhouse in front of her. About this place, she remembered that before Romain and her aunt moved to the hill where the old house of Brando was located, Just live here.
This should be behind a small forest outside the village, next to a field, and the black pine forest behind her also confirmed her guess.
But what she didn't understand was how she would come back to this place in her dream.
For this place, it seems that I only have such a slight impression when I was very young. I only remember that there was a fire later, and then Roman and her aunt moved to a place further away from the village.
But what is strange is that most of the old people in the village have no impression about the fire. Others talked about it in a vague way. It was not intentional to conceal something, it was as if the memory was too long and too vague. .
But people said afterwards: Bless Martha, fortunately no one was hurt because of this—
Freya stood in this scene with some curiosity. The memories of Buche and childhood seemed to have happened a long time ago. Although she often remembered her aunt's family in her dreams and recalled that scene. The tragic war.
But she did not expect that she would come to the first home of Roman and her aunt when she dreamed back to her childhood the day before the expedition.
This dream is still so clear.
She felt a little bit in her heart, she couldn't restrain her steps and walked into the farmhouse. She couldn't help but wonder what she would see. Will you see Little Roman and Aunt Jenny at that time
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Aunt Jenny for a long time since Bouche fell.
Although the people in the village don’t like Roman and her aunt very much, she has an inexplicable kindness to Aunt Jenny, which seems to be the same for Brando. In the village, there are only their three children and Aunt Jenny has the best relationship.
It is a pity that Brando usually only comes to the village every summer, and after winter, he will return to Braggs.
Before the fall of Buche, she had never been to Braggs, only heard about the city in the description of Brando and others.
Freya herself did not expect that one day she would go to so many places and come to Tonigel, which is so far away from Buche, but the nostalgia for her hometown in her heart never ceased.
With such a peculiar thought, she gently walked into the room.
Then she froze.
The house was in a mess, broken cabinets, overturned tables and chairs, collapsed stairs, and even a wall was overturned, and various utensils scattered all over the floor.
Then came the blood, the dazzling blood, and the moonlight ran down the hole into the house, reflecting everything brightly, and the bright red blood was quietly set against the wall, the ground, and everywhere.
She saw two corpses with pale skin. One of them was even torn in half, with internal organs scattered on the ground, while the other was lying on the bed with a big hole in the heart behind it.
Freya shivered. She swore that she had never seen the owner of the two corpses, and had never seen a similar scene, but she felt a little familiar in her heart, as if all of this had really happened.
She looked around anxiously, and a low sob sounded into her ears. The sound was full of anxiety and fear, as if helpless and heart-wrenching.
"Roman?"
She recognized the voice instantly, turned her head subconsciously, and saw a small figure standing there, crying whispered.
That was exactly the Roman she remembered at that time, but she was seven or eight years old, but she had vaguely after.
Freya suddenly remembered that in her own memory, Roman had never cried so sad. The only time she saw her crying was when the two of them lost their way in the Black Forest.
She remembered the time she stumbled and rolled into the mountain stream, and the scars left at the time are still on her back. In the end, Roman took her out of the forest with one foot deep and one shallow foot.
She still remembered that after that, the two vowed to make an agreement that in the future they would never be afraid of weakness and never cry again. Although it was only a child's vow, Roman seemed to have really kept his promise after that and never cried again.
On the contrary, she has been crying at all times since she was a child. Thinking of this, she couldn't help blushing slightly. When participating in militia training, she didn't know how many tears she shed in private because of her unsatisfactory grades.
But Freya immediately woke up, she didn't quite understand what was going on in this dream, was it just a simple nightmare? Or does it indicate something
The witches are superstitious about the power of dreams. Although Freya is not a witch, at this moment she feels that she is not sober as if she is in a dream.
She walked over, gently hugged the crying little Roman, and asked softly: "What's the matter?"
"I... I killed my father and mother, Freya."
"What are you talking about?" Freya was stunned: "Where are you father and mother, haven't you been living with your aunt?"
"I... I don't know, oooooo, what should I do, my father drank alcohol and wanted to beat my mother, I, I don't know what happened, oooooo..."
"Roman, you wake up, it's just a dream. Nothing like this has ever happened."
Little Roman didn't seem to listen, sobbing and asking: "Freya, I killed my father and mother, what should I do..."
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Freya nervously: "Fryya, will you tell other people that they will come to kill me, right?"
"I... Roman, what are you talking about?"
"You will definitely do that, right?"
"Roman, you wake up soon, this is just a dream." Freya subconsciously pressed the other person's shoulder, trying to shake the other person awake, as if she had forgotten herself, and she was just in a dream. Just in.
But just as she touched Roman's shoulder with her hands, she saw the other person raising her head. There were no whites or pupils in those eyes, only a black void.
Roman looked at her indifferently: "Freya, you are a traitor."
"I, I don't, Roman, what's the matter with you?" Freya was taken aback.
"You are a traitor, everyone betrayed me, you are the same." Roman said coldly.
"No, Roman, how could we betray you, and Brando, he will always be by your side." Freya asked cautiously: "Romain, what's wrong with your eyes."
But Roman's little face showed a painful look: "And Brando, Brando... Where's Brando, Brando, where are you?"
Freya just wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and when she looked down, she realized that there was a bright dagger stuck there.
She raised her head almost incredulously and looked at the little girl in her arms: "Roman...?"
"You took Brando," Roman replied flatly, "I'm going to kill you."
"Do not… "
Freya almost screamed and sat up from her bed in cold sweat. She raised her head, and it was dark all around, still in Fir Castle's own room.
She was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she had only had a nightmare.
"Miss Freya?"
Su Cao's greeting came from outside the door.
"I'm fine," Freya hurriedly replied, "It's just a nightmare, are you still asleep?"
"I can't sleep. Miss Romance went to the empire. The Chamber of Commerce in Amperexel has left too many things. Miss Romance trusts me so much. I must be worthy of her trust."
Hearing the words Roman, Freya's heart throbbed again. She faintly felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously asked: "Is there any news coming back from Lord Lord?"
"No, miss, since the head of Uta and the others came back from the Evergreen aisle, there is no more information." The voice outside the door paused, and then replied: "This is normal, the Empire It’s normal to lose control south of the Evergreen Aisle, and it’s normal not to send back news, but Captain Uta and the others are traveling with our fleet, so there should be no big problems on the way."
Freya wanted to say that she was actually worried about Brando and Roman, but after thinking about it, she silently recalled the previous dream, but suddenly, she was stunned.
"That's, that's..."
There seemed to be something shattering in his mind, and countless dusty memories were suddenly liberated. Freya's face was pale and she couldn't help but shiver and leaned on the edge of the bed.
"Brando, Roman she..."
