Chapter 502: The Army Returns

"Another year of harvest......"

It was the middle of autumn when Edith suddenly remembered that her father had died.

Back then, the former holy person on earth also passed away quietly in his bed this season, and the door to that room had not been opened for a long time.

Now there is very little sadness left in her heart, and time and busy work have diluted everything.

However, although time has diluted the sadness, Edith's feelings for the old duke have not changed.

She used to admire her father and was determined to take his place when she grew up, but now this desire has disappeared for some time, but her admiration for her father has not changed.

Edith also knew that her father had no regrets or guilt when he died......

This is also what she slowly understood later, although she was entangled for a while, thinking that she and her mother had no place in her father's heart, but it was only later that she knew what kind of state her father was in.

More than 900 years is enough time for a person to see the world clearly, even if he still can't see people's hearts clearly, but he can see what the essence of a person is.

Father knew that Cervantes was a dragon who could be trusted, and that Sister Serena was a person who could be trusted, and that with them, neither he nor his mother nor this territory would be fine.

Unlike the self who had been melancholy, her mother had already understood this matter, she had long known that they would be separated sooner or later, whether she died before her father or her father died before her, she was already mentally prepared......

It's just that...... Probably...... It's going to be a little sad.

In a few days it was her father's death day, and it was only now that Edith remembered it.

It was as if everything was as his father had ordered, letting him pass away quietly, leaving him forgotten by the times, and in the end only some vague memories and that ordinary tombstone remained in the world.

It seems that my father has been tired since a long time ago.

Day after day, year after year, hundreds of years passed, the people around him changed one after another, and the knights and nobles continued to alternate, constantly resisting the invasion of the Black Forest, but had little ambition to conquer that no-man's land.

The old duke drew a circle in his heart with the request of his best friend, and trapped himself in the circle, and only in this way could he let himself continue to live.

Edith didn't know that her father was in such pain, but when she understood, she was relieved that she no longer bothered about her and her mother's affairs when she died.

In a few days, it will be my father's death day, and I should put a bouquet of calla lilies and chrysanthemums in front of my father's tombstone as before, and then tell my father about what happened in the sad wind collar this year and the major events that happened in the world.

Edith held her cheek with one hand, looking out the window, the yellow leaves of the trees were swept by the north wind, autumn symbolized withering, but also symbolizing harvest, my father loved this season when he was alive, because he would often say that he was very much like this season, that it was about to wither but not yet finished.

My father was not a good lord, he didn't make the realm rich, and he invested all the taxes that kept the realm running into armaments, so the realm never became rich.

But even now, when people sing the name of Serena's sister, they often mention their father's name.

Cervantes and Sister Serena are often seen as a continuation of their father, Cervantes symbolizes his father's strength and ability to protect the territory like his father, and Sister Serena symbolizes domination and is able to manage the territory well.

For the commoners, they are not only a continuation of their father, but also continue to move forward in these two directions.

People don't know how powerful their father was, they just saw Cervantes leading his army and adventurers and mercenaries to open up the Black Forest, and his father was far less politically intelligent than Serena's sister, but they were already doing well compared to the commoners of other noble lands.

Although only the younger and older generations now speak of their fathers, the children have almost forgotten the 'old duke', and the old duke of the previous generation has become a symbol in their hearts, and that's it.

However, Edith did not feel that there was anything wrong, because her father did not expect her to remain in the hearts of the people forever, and if that was the case, then it would mean that the lords of this generation were not doing well, and only in this case would people frequently mention their names and often miss themselves. If his name can become a symbol in the hearts of children, then it means that the rulers of this generation have done a better job than him, and much better, so that people will remember themselves and gradually begin to forget.

Now in this sad wind realm, probably only the mother and the knights will often think of and miss the old duke, and even Edith herself did not remember until today that it will be her father's death in a few days.

Putting down her work, Edith walked to the window, removed the hook that held it against it, and opened it.

Before the late autumn, the dead leaves fell to the ground, making the autumn wind a little bleak, and the birds and birds outside the window were noisy and noisy in autumn.

It was the hottest time of the year, and the sun was shining from the sky, and the windows were shut out, and when Edith opened the windows, all the sounds poured into her ears.

The streets are full of people, people talking, chatting, wheels rolling, pack horses snorting, but it makes what should be a cold autumn day lively.

Leaning against the window, Edith couldn't help but smile as she listened to the voices, and thought, 'If my father saw this and heard these voices, he would probably be happy?'

To others, noise is noise, but to Edith and other rulers, noise is just as annoying, but it is also a sign of the prosperity of the city.

How nice it would be if all these people walking on the streets now were people who were sad and wind-leading?

Now the Grim Wind Collar has been able to meet the needs of more people, and now this territory needs the population.

How nice would it be if the people on the streets weren't adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants?

"Miss Edith!"

Edith heard a knock on the office door, turned her head to look, and waited a moment for the door to knock again.

"Come in. Edith whispered.

Then, the office door was pushed open and a civil servant walked in.

After entering, he hurriedly said, "Miss Edith, Knight Kyle is back!"

Edith saw the joy on his face, as if all the feelings were written on his face, and his voice trembled.

"Knight ...... Kyle"

Edith let out a sigh and a smile appeared on her face, "Really? Are they back?"

The Knight of Kyle and they are back, so the official founding of the Sadwind Leader is about to begin.

While it may be a bit sorry for Knight Valery Poze, they have been looking forward to the day for a long time, otherwise the civil servant would not be happy.

"Yes, Knight Kyle, they're back!" the civil servant nodded vigorously.

Edith closed the window and smiled, "Then we should also go, go and meet those triumphant heroes, and then—start preparing for the founding ceremony!"

"Yes, Miss Edith!"

The civil servant happily raised his hand and saluted a somewhat comical-looking military salute, then turned to leave.

The smile on Edith's face did not fade, and she found that she had become more and more like Sister Serena recently, and she had become more and more similar because of her admiration......

There's nothing wrong with that, though, is it?
