Not only did Pannis's unexpectedly failed plan look, but even Catherine herself suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Grandpa Snape, why are you ......?"

The old marquis leaned back in his chair weakly, raised his head and looked at the ceiling with great interest, and after a long time sighed: "I am a merchant, and I will never do anything that is destined to be fruitless. Just like now, I would like to persuade you not to go, but does it make sense? The personalities of the three generations of your family are too similar, once you feel that something must be done, then it is useless for whoever goes, no matter what, in the end, you will still do it, in this case, why should I persuade again. ”

Catherine grabbed Snape's hand and said guiltily: "Grandpa, believe me, I will definitely do my best to come back alive, my partners and I have experienced countless battles and encountered countless crises, this time we will also fight side by side, defeat a qiē enemy, and finally solve a qiē, please believe me, I will not make you sad again." ”

"Remember what you promised me, I'm too old to bear the pain of losing a child again, especially you, so don't make grandpa sad anymore. The old marquis's trembling hand caressed Catherine's face, and said sadly and pityingly: "Poor child, you should have been dressed in the most beautiful clothes now, and went in and out of the ball▲▲▲▲, m.±. In the midst of this, it has become the focus of everyone's attention, and it has become the object of obsession and worship of all young men in the entire human world, what you worry about every day should be which dress to choose is more beautiful, which perfume to choose is more charming, not like now, wearing thick armor to fight the murderous monsters in the wild, nor should you worry about the threat of death every day, and every time you go out, you have to worry about whether you can come back alive. Poor field child, this is not the life you should live, and don't go down the path of your father and your grandfather. ”

"Okay, okay. I understand. Catherine reluctantly smiled and responded: "Don't worry, I still have to save my life, drink that bottle of wine with you every year, how can I leave you so lightly? And you don't have to feel wronged for me, this is the path I have chosen, and it is also the life I pursue, this kind of life makes my heart full of happiness and fulfillment, so I may feel sorry for me in your eyes, but from my point of view, this kind of life has an irresistible temptation." Now, even if you want me to leave this life, I can't leave it. ”

"I understand, I understand. The old marquis sighed deeply, poured another glass of wine for Catherine with his own hands, and then poured a glass for all the maidens and Pannis in turn, and said sincerely: "Masters, I was a little out of shape just now, and I am really sorry for ignoring everyone's feelings. I hope you can forgive an old man for being overly concerned about his children. In the days to come, I also implore the masters to stay by Catherine's side as a family member as before. ”

Vivien and Eva, who looked like girls, didn't say anything, their lowered eyes flickering slightly. No one knows what is going on in their minds, but when you think about their past, you can guess it. Only Freya looked at ease, holding her glass on behalf of the others. He touched the old marquis lightly, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the marquis, we are very clear about your love for Catherine. No one will blame you, you don't have to care. ”

"Thank you for your understanding. The old marquis looked at Freya's round face and said, "And, first of all, I want to thank you very much, you are ...... Sister Freya, if it weren't for you just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't know your decision right now. ”

"Maybe it's cruel to let the person who loves you know in advance that you're going to face danger to your life, but it's actually even more cruel to keep the person who loves you even more when you know you're going to face danger. Freya smiled shallowly, glanced at Catherine who was biting her lip, and her voice was as pleasant as ever: "I love Catherine as much as you, and I don't want her to make you and her sad because of her misguided behavior, so I will go against her will, and I must tell you about this matter in advance." So you don't need to thank me, it's something I have to do as Catherine's family. ”

"Whatever your reason, I have to thank you. The old man had regained his composure at this time, looked at Freya with a calm expression, and turned to Pannis, and said, "And Master Kyle, no, Master Pannis, I have the same gratitude to you in my heart, and without you, I believe that Catherine would not have had a chance to appear in front of me today, and I would not have had a chance to know something." ”

"Well, actually, it could have been seen as an accident. Pannis shrugged, retracted his hand that had already wiped out half of the fruit on the table, grabbed a napkin and wiped his face, and said with a dry smile: "My original intention was to take them around the city that never sleeps, to fundamentally understand the beauty and ugliness of the city that never sleeps or the Neville Federation, and to have the opportunity to meet you can only be a coincidence within a coincidence." ”

"Oh, it's really just a coincidence, but the coincidences are often arranged by the god of fate, praising the gods. Snape, who believed in the god of fate and the future, whispered a few words of prayer before continuing to smile: "Even though you have been away from Neville for hundreds of years, you still know the Federation so thoroughly, yes, if you want to understand the beauty and ugliness of this country, the city that never sleeps is the best choice." ”

"Why didn't we see it?" "yes, yes, I don't feel it at all." "I just saw some people walking around the street stupidly. "There are a lot of stupid people shouting. ”

Turning his head to look, I don't know when it started, the three creatures in the melee had finished the battle, and were lying in a neat row on the soft carpet, holding their chins and watching the emotional exchange between the old marquis and Catherine quite interestingly, and they had been considerate and did not interrupt until they were sure that it would no longer have an impact, and the two winged girls began to show their existence again, and the fast speed of speech made people helpless.

"Because you two are stupid. The manticore, lying between the twins of light and darkness, shook off his mane and said in a muffled voice: "With your intelligence, it is difficult to understand the so-called good and ugly. ”

"You're stupid. "That's right, stupid lion. The twin girls seemed to be tired just now, and only casually scolded Dilly's provocation before diverting their attention: "Brother Kyle, are you finished? (To be continued...... ）
