On the cold corridor, Seken Morrison walked alone.
He kept his head down and his face was gloomy, as if he was making a difficult decision.
"Seken!"
Hearing his name, Saken Morrison stopped abruptly. He looked up and saw his wife Nina standing in front of him, just a step away from him. If she didn't make a sound, he might bump into him head-on. up.
"What are you thinking?" Nina looked at her absent-minded husband worriedly.
"Nina...I..." Seken looked at his wife's beautiful face, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Nina obviously couldn't guess what her husband was thinking, thinking that he was still worried about his father Franco's suicide, so she persuaded:
"Seken, it is meaningless to immerse yourself in the sorrow of the past, the real strong should stand above the suffering and seek self-worth in adversity.
Moreover, now is the most difficult time for the Morrison family. As the former Earl of Morrison and a direct member of the family, shouldn't you stand up at this time and find a way to revive the family? "
Saiken stared blankly at his wife, with an extremely complicated expression on his face, and said after a while:
"Nina, now that I am no longer Earl Morrison, and the Morrison family is no longer prominent, are you still willing to follow me?"
"Why would you ask such a question." Nina frowned, as if she felt that her husband's question had insulted her, "Have you forgotten the vow we made under the witness of the Lord of Radiance
In poverty or in wealth, in health or in sickness, in success or in failure, we shall face each other, till death do us part! "
Saiken only felt that his eyes were sore, his throat was blocked, and his heart was deeply touched by an indescribable feeling.
Nina looked at her husband who was losing his composure, and smiled and said, "So, you don't have to worry at all. No matter what choice you make, I will be by your side and share the burden with you."
"Even if I choose...is it a dead end?" Saiken was afraid to face his wife's eyes.
Even his newly determined heart was shaken by his wife's words at this moment.
"A dead end?" Nina looked serious, "What do you want to do?"
Saken realized that he had said the wrong thing, and suddenly panicked.
After hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to tell his plan with Kadina, so he lied and explained:
"What I mean is that because of my father's death, I didn't immediately serve Earl Angelet. Now he must be jealous of me. Even if I go to serve at this time, I'm afraid I won't gain his trust.
Of course, I also understand that the Morrison family is destined to follow him to the west, and if I don't want to leave my family behind, that's the only choice I have, but... I'm worried that if I go to the west, I might be used as cannon fodder by him... "
"No." Nina quickly reassured, and found that her husband had the idea of changing his mind. She was happy and did not notice that there was something wrong with her husband, "Count Angelet is not such a short-sighted person, if he really dares to drive you to If he dies, the entire Morrison family will be alienated from him, and even his reputation will be seriously damaged!"
"Then what if he's really so short-sighted?"
"Then I will fight to the death with you on the front line!" Nina replied sonorously.
Saiken stared into his wife's eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Nina stepped forward and took her husband's arm, and said softly, "Don't worry, such a situation will not happen. Even if you don't believe in Earl Angelet's character, you still have to believe in Madam Grace's vision.
Since her old man has chosen such a path for the Morrison family, she must be quite sure.
Do you think she will harm the Morrison family? "
"Of course not." Saiken restrained his mind, "I also believe in grandma."
"That's fine!" Nina pulled her husband forward and said with a smile, "I'll take you to see Count Angelet, I believe he will be very happy to accept your allegiance!"
Saken forced a smile, and followed his wife to Colin's residence full of thoughts.
After passing through the promenade and following the spiral staircase to the third floor of the castle, the Seken and his wife were stopped by guards in front of a wooden door.
Although the current Pavillion Castle no longer belongs to the Morrison family, the feeling that the place where he grew up could not be unimpeded still caused Seken a heartache.
After being notified by the guards, the two were released.
Entering the room, Seken found that Count Angelet was flipping through a mountain of documents behind the desk.
"You two, sit down first, and wait until I finish reading this." Colin waved his hands casually and said.
Saken pulled Nina to sit down on the sofa and waited quietly.
Not long after, Colin put down the scroll in his hand, smiled and said, "Knight Saken, Mrs. Nina, what can you do for me?"
From the original "Earl Morrison" to today's "Knight of Saken", it is impossible for Saken to say that he is not lost, but he still took a deep breath, abandoned those useless emotions, got up and came to Colin In front of him, he knelt down on one knee and said:
"Dear Guardian of the North, Earl Angelet, please forgive my previous offense.
With your permission, I, Seken Morrison, offer you my unrivaled loyalty today! As long as I live, your will will guide my goal, and where your sword points is my goal! "
Colin looked at the young knight who suddenly changed his mind in surprise, but he still walked out from behind the desk.
After all, Saken was the former Earl of Morrison, and he was the orthodox direct line of the family. His allegiance could better help Colin truly subdue the Morrison family.
So, Ke Lin walked up to Saiken, drew out his sword, tapped his shoulder lightly, and said:
"I accept your allegiance."
Saiken stood up straight, glanced at Colin with a complex expression, and then said in a deep voice:
"Master Earl, thank you for not caring about my previous offense!"
"It's okay. After all, your father just died, and I can understand your feelings. However, I hope you can understand who the real enemy of the Morrison family is."
"I understand." Saken nodded, and said again: "My lord, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some secrets recorded in the Morrison family, which may be related to Uncle Horus..."
"Oh?" Colin's expression changed, and he said quickly, "What secret?"
"I saw it by accident when I was looking through the family collection before. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and it's been too long, so I can't remember it clearly. Would you like to go and find it with me and study it?"
"good."
Saken turned and walked out, but after taking two steps, he turned back to Nina and said, "Nina, I will take the Earl to the library, please go and deal with father's body and prepare for the funeral, I want to wait a while Get your father buried as soon as possible."
Nina had no doubt about him, she nodded and said, "Okay."
After speaking, he left alone, while Colin, led by Seken, walked up the spiral staircase to the top floor of the castle.
The Morrison family has a profound heritage, and the library occupies an entire floor.
Standing at the stairs, Saiken stopped and did not go inside.
"What's wrong?" Colin asked suspiciously.
Saiken's face changed for a while, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.
Colin took a deep look at the other party, and asked with a smile:
"Regret?"
