CH.35 Encounter in the Cemetery
Reinhardt China Leuss and Seodora Sigrani Heinell are the undoubted biological daughters of the god of war. Although many Farencians lamented www.biquge.info that God did not give Sogrand a son, from the perspective of a spectator of history, it is a matter of pride for any father to have two daughters.
Of course, it cannot be said that Saugland has no male heir, and Reinster Landier has always been regarded as Sogrande's adopted son. Although Reingster himself never thought so, he always spoke to the outside world that Sogrerd was just his father's comrade-in-arms, a good man who dutifully acted as the protector of their orphans and widows. However, for Reingst, whose father died young, Sogrand was an important way to gain his father's love in his childhood.
Cerodora was still a little uncomfortable with such a sudden family life, but Miss Hayes quickly became acquainted with Reinhardt. Fortunately, Princess Marstar was glad that Estella did not join the girls. This at least made her feel that she still had her kind to rely on in this happy atmosphere.
"Long time no see, Lord Randyre." The black swan of Reynolds left his female companions and came to the men's side.
"Yes, Your Highness Nastasya, you've been away from Faluncia for almost ten years." Reinster sighed.
"It's really hard for you to take care of you along the way, otherwise His Highness Seodora and Lord Lan Feng wouldn't have been able to reach Caiunescu so smoothly." After Nastasya finished speaking, she smiled and looked at the messenger from the east.
"Ah, after you reminded me of this, I realized that I really should thank Mr. Randil." Lan Feng said sincerely, "In the next foreigner, it is really rewarding for you to be able to travel smoothly without knowing the place of life." ”
"You're so gracious, it's just something I'm supposed to do." Reingst owes a debt.
"Arashi-sama will also come to visit my motherland in the future." Nastasya asked.
"That's a certainty, this is the mission under my shoulders."
"Then then, after visiting all the countries in the entire continent, what is Lord Lan Feng going to do next?" The black swan of Reynosk asked.
"Then I will naturally return to my hometown, and then bring back the replies of the monarchs of the lower countries to my country's national credentials and this scepter and present it to the emperor of our country, so that everyone has fulfilled their trust to my subordinates."
"So what about all that? If you had, would you visit us at Yartikat? ”
"Uh...... After that, it's up to you. Lan Feng replied after thinking for a moment.
"Fate?" Nastasya narrowed her eyes, "What does that mean?" I think it's the language of Arashi-sama's hometown. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, I said my hometown dialect without paying attention, and if I want to explain it, it's just to obey the arrangement of fate, something like this, I think it should be explained like this."
"What a romantic way to put it." The black swan of Reynolds laughed softly.
At this time, Fiore saw his sister walking towards this side with her skirt, and looked a little displeased.
"Fiona, do you have any news for us?" Fiore decided to divert her sister's attention to something else before she got angry.
"Well, it's a good decision, Miss Luce has decided to take her dear sister to visit her grandfather's grave, and then go back to her manor outside the city." Miss Hayes said this as she glared at Lan Feng angrily.
"From the perspective of etiquette, this is very appropriate, in my hometown, if there are blood relatives who have traveled far away, it is a necessary ritual to go to the cemetery of the ancestors." Lan Feng apparently didn't notice Miss Hayes's temper.
"Well, Grandpa Gretio's graveyard, it's right next to the Montier Cemetery." "If that's the case, I'd like to stop by to see my father's grave." ”
"Will Lan Feng-sama go with you? It's a tomb, but it's a must-see spot if you want to get to know Falencia. The black swan of Renoske looked at Lan Feng and said.
"Since it was suggested by Her Highness Nastasya, it must not be wrong."
In this way, the group decided to follow Miss Luce to visit the grave.
After suffering a stroke, the elder Luce began to feel that it was time to take care of his own affairs, so he considered buying a piece of real estate for his family as a family cemetery. When he asked his son for his opinion, Sogrand said he could decide for himself, because the Traveling Justice himself had dug a grave for his ashes - right next to Chenna, of course. It is said that the old Luce also participated in the battle to recapture Parello and was eligible to be buried in the cemetery if he applied for it, but the old man was unwilling to part with his wife in the future, so he took the trouble to buy a piece of land next door for the cemetery management so that the cemetery could be expanded, on the condition that a family cemetery for the Leus family would be carved out in the cemetery. There is no reason for the cemetery to refuse such good conditions, not to mention that many of the tombstones of the Narcibis period of the Luce family are in the cemetery. They connected these ancient tombstones with the burial place of the elder Luce, and thus justified the name.
In this way, the group was divided into three carriages, four men were crammed into one carriage, and the rest of the women were seated in the other two carriages. With the Praetorian Hussars clearing the way, it took much less time than usual, but even so, it took about an hour to reach the Monttier heights.
We had the pleasure of visiting the Montier Cemetery before, and it is still a famous cultural attraction, although fast food tours that only know how to shop never put this place on their itinerary.
The tombstone of the elder Luce, like the other military tombstones of the Age of the Military God, is also an ordinary granite slab. In this regard, both Sogrand and Reinhardt claimed to have acted in full accordance with the old man's will. This makes it difficult to understand whether Old Luce's thoughts are to return to his true colors as a soldier, or because he is as stingy as ever? I'm afraid only God knows.
The procedure of sweeping the tomb is calm and simple, much more casual than the red tape of the Orientals. At his grandfather's grave, Reinhardt introduced his sister and sister, whom he had recently met, to the deceased, while Cyodora and Mesedis greeted their loved ones, whom they had never met.
"I also want to go and see my mother, if Sister Cyodora feels embarrassed, you can not use it, just hang out, and we'll meet at the door later." Reinhardt suggested.
There was no reason for Celedora not to accept her sister's kindness, she didn't know how to deal with the tombstone of her mother's rival, and even if Reinhardt didn't say so, she would find a reason to excuse herself. Reinhardt accompanied Reinhardt, as the tomb of March Landil was also near the beloved Legionnaire. The others followed, with only Michelle staying behind to keep Princess Marstar safe.
Mastar wandered around the cemetery, just to pass the time, and didn't bother to admire the unique carvings. The two of them walked along, leaving the beautiful works of art of the Nasibis period and coming into the simple style of the age of the god of war. Just then, Theodora saw a man sitting next to a granite slab tombstone in front of her.
The man sat on the edge of the tombstone in a burlap cloak, with a bottle of wine and a small wooden goblet on his lap. The refreshing aroma of the wine has spread far and wide, and even if you haven't tasted it, the people of Mastar can know that it must be a good wine of great value.
The man filled his glass, raised it in the air and poured it into the dirt in front of one tombstone, then repeated the previous action and poured it into the dirt in front of another. Cyodora stood still, quietly observing the man's movements, and she thought it strange that someone could bring such a precious wine to the dead man.
The man spotted the Mastar's gaze, and he took the empty bottle and glass into his arms, turned to the Mastar and smiled, "You two may think I'm tyrannical, right?" ”
"No, no, you must have a reason for doing this." Michelle replied first, for fear that her princess's unruly remarks would cause some trouble.
Cyodora saw the man's face clearly at this time, it was a very good-looking face, which could be said to be a handsome face that was pleasing to women. Although he no longer looks young, the vicissitudes and maturity left by the years have added to his charm. Even Cyodora had to admit that if she hadn't discovered certain features, she would have developed a liking for this face and this demeanor.
"From the outside, they don't seem to be Farencians, but if I'm not mistaken, they should be Mastar." The man spoke again.
"How do you know?" It was Saildora who asked that.
"Because I've been in that country for a while, well, young gentleman, your accent is more like that of a Mastar northerner." The man said.
"Haha, can you hear that?" Michelle was a little embarrassed, he always thought that his mainland official language was very standard.
"Why are you doing this puja here? Are these your loved ones? Cyodora continued.
When the man heard this, he looked at the tombstones and sighed and said, "It's a different relationship from my relatives, they are all my comrades-in-arms and subordinates, maybe you can't understand this emotional relationship." They were all good men, the noblest and most valiant warriors in the world, and they were all heroes of Pharansis. For example, this one is the chief of the Andak garrison, who faced an enemy a hundred times his size in a battle and did not flinch in the slightest. Another example is this Colonel Yadan, who and his men held off dozens of times the enemy's attack at the gates of Lankados for hours. and Captain Ispar, a young and valiant hussar; There are many, many heroes who are buried here. They always didn't have much money to buy good wine to drink, and it was hard for me to satisfy their insignificant wish to have a good drink, so now every time I come here, I bring them two bottles of good wine, and I just show my heart. ”
"Then this young lady, I take the liberty of asking, why did I come to this cemetery as a Mastar?" The man turned to Cyodora and asked.
Cyodora didn't answer the question right away, she just crouched down and looked at the simple tombstones. The handwriting on the tombstone is carved by one person, neat and beautiful. Then she stood up and replied, "My mother fell in love with a Pharynse when she was young, and I am said to have been a gift of their love, and I am ashamed of the fact that there should be an illegitimate daughter in the middle of a family of such heights. However, my mother and the people around me told me that it was not a shame to have such a father. I thought they were all ridiculous, so I ran away from my family with a few friends and set out on a trip to Pharansi. To my surprise, we met so many wonderful people and ordinary people on the journey who told me so many stories about my biological father. ”
"And do you come to a conclusion about your father?" The man asked, a little suspicious.
"Even if there is a conclusion, it's hard for me to accept it, don't I?" Sailor paused, "Unless I can see him in person, hear what he has to say, and see what he does with my own eyes." ”
"That's true, and you'd be wise to think so." The man replied, "Then I will ask you any more, have you seen your father?" ”
"See, just now." Cyodora laughed.
"That's wonderful, have a good time with you and your father, beautiful young lady, I'm sorry, I'm going to take my leave first." The man gracefully bowed to the Mastar, and turned to leave.
At this time, a nice voice sounded behind Cyodora.
"Sister Cyodora, sister, what do you see I found in front of my mother's grave?!"
Celedora looked back and saw Reinhardt waving a red rose at her, and the man who was about to leave seemed to be attracted by the girl's voice and stopped leaving.
"Sister, you see, there is a whole big bouquet of red roses in front of my mother's grave." Reinhardt kicked and put the petite flower into Theodora's hand.
"What does that mean?" Cyodora didn't understand.
"This means that Dad has been here, and it was just now." Reinhardt said happily, and at this time, Miss Leuse smiled even more when she saw the man behind Theodora, who had already turned around.
When Theodora saw her sister's smiling face, she immediately turned to look at the man. Yes, she had guessed correctly, the person who gave the martyrdom to the Falency was none other than the current Farency Parade Judge, Saugland Leus. Although she had said that to her father just now, she was not ready to recognize him. Cyodora was looking forward to a more natural way, or rather she didn't have the courage to reveal the truth directly to her father.
"Daddy! Why didn't you tell us when you came back? Reinhardt, of course, threw himself into his father's arms without any scruples.
"Ah, my dear little princess, you have grown a little taller again. How did you come here today? "Thorgrande naturally loves his little daughter in every way.
"I'm here with Sister Theodora and Messis, and I should let Grandpa meet them." Reinhardt put it this way.
"Cyodora? Messis? Thorgrande looked up at Theodora, and Princess Marstar bit her lip and bravely met her gaze into his. No wonder he looks a little like Sigrani, Sogrend said with a wry smile in his heart.
"Your Highness Cyodora?" Thorgrande walked up to Princess Marstar and said a question.
"Yes, Lord Leus, I am Cyodora Heinel, my mother is the unique Empress Higrani of Mastar, and my father, the late Grand Duke of Field, Leon, but my mother told me that it was only in name, and that my true father should be you, Lord Thorgrande Leus." Cyodora struggled to keep her composure to finish the words, but Thorgrande could tell she was trembling with nervousness.
"Your mother is a sophisticated politician, but I'm sure she doesn't lie about something." Thorgrande paused, "If you will, my child, I can embrace you with open arms as a father welcomes his daughter; Likewise if you do not will, my child, I will do to you the respect that a foreigner should have for a princess of a country. ”
"Please give me a little more time, dear Lord Luce."
"As you wish, Your Royal Highness the Princess." Saugland still owes gracefully.
The bystanders watched strangely as the father-daughter pair, who were supposed to be certain, were behaving with each other as outsiders, but they were not comfortable saying anything. Next, the other princess was less polite.
As soon as Reinhardt had finished introducing Arlan's guests, Messys rushed over and hugged Thorgrande's knee. Thorgrande hesitated, staring at Nataya for a moment, Queen Arlan's chief guard avoiding his gaze. Thorgrande then immediately crouched down, giving Messydis all the comfort she had hoped for. The little princess of Arlan burst into tears and laughed instantly, she had been looking forward to this day for too long.
This was followed by the others and Thorgrande.
"This is Your Excellency Michel Lance."
"Oh, eldest son of Thorde Reims, your father is a military general I have always respected."
"These two are Fiore, the son of Hays, and Fiona, the lady of the hays."
"Please say hello to your parents on my behalf when I return to Mastar."
"This is Miss Macmillan, she's a swordsmith."
"Thanks to your grandfather, I was able to obtain such a sword, oh? You're here to see Grandpa's work, that's no problem, and if you need it, I can help you contact Navi and ask them to bring the axe as well. ”
"Reingst, you're finally back, uh, by the way, a lot of people have suggested to me that you should not be allowed to work in that 'shady intelligence service', and that you should be made a hussar, how do you think about this? Do you still want to help Lord Beta again? I see, I'll talk to Oiffe, but there's no guarantee that Marshal Santero will be able to withstand the pressure of the others. This is exactly the tone of an enlightened father to his son.
"Who is this? Daddy, guess what? ”
"Hmm...... If I'm not mistaken, it's our dear Miss Natasha. ”
"Teacher, it's been a long time." The black swan of Reynolds warmly embraced Sogrande.
"yes, I've become a big girl in the blink of an eye, and I almost don't recognize it."
"But you still recognize it, I really envy Eco and Rhine, who can stay by your side and accept your teachings."
The last to be introduced was an emissary from a distant land.
"Lord Lan Feng, I think we should let you find a time to talk to us about your hometown, it should be a whole day, oh, no, no, it may not be enough, it should take a whole week, preferably a whole month. I don't know if this will delay your trip, but be sure to stay in Farencitor for a while. ”
This was the warmest official treatment Lan Feng had ever received since he arrived on this continent. Nastasya flashed her good-looking emerald eyes as she stared at Thorgrande who was holding Lan Feng's hand, and smiled thoughtfully.
"My friend Theodora, you've finally met him." Fiona whispered to Theodora as the crowd gathered around Saugland to laugh and talk.
"Yes, finally so." Cyodora sighed heavily.
"Are you ashamed or afraid?" Fiona asked.
"I don't know, Fiona, he's so perfect in everything, like a hero from a myth. I'm not sure if I deserve such a father, and I'm not sure if he can be my father. Maybe one day, I'll be proud of where I came from, just as my mother had hoped. ”
"Maybe."
"It's been a great day, let's go home and tell Grandma, and then we'll have dinner together when Sister Eco comes back." Reinhardt happily proposed.
