Chapter 112: Those Who Left and Those Who Stayed

The coffin entered the tomb, and the knights of the family silently bowed to the king for the last time, and then silently left the tomb to guard the outside, leaving the final goodbye to Clayderman.

At this time, the coffin was not closed, Lawrence put his hands on his abdomen, according to his will, there was nothing in the coffin except the king's clothes, and the funeral goods were only a well-made knight's hand and a half-sword. He slept peacefully in it, as if he were just sleeping quietly.

Rebecca, Charlotte, and Vivien Leigh gathered around the grave, weeping again.

After a moment of silent mourning, Rebecca wiped away her tears and sobbed and said, "You must remember your father's teachings, work together to overcome difficulties, and find lost glory and build glory again." ”

"Yes! Mother!" Vivien Leigh nodded, she didn't hear Charlotte's response, so she gave Charlotte a strange look.

The cheerful, enthusiastic man of his memory stood there silently like a soulless corpse, his face reflected in the dim light of the fire in the burial chamber, which reflected an unnatural flush in his paleness, and his lips were chapped and withered. He won the battle of Fort Savoa, but he also lost badly. made him like a ghost in the grave, and the whole person looked fluttering, without a sense of reality.

"Charlotte!" Vivien Leigh was sad, disappointed, and angry, and she was both saddened and angry at the collapse of her longing idol and her rejection of the mission he should have taken.

She thought that Charlotte would gradually recover after a few days, but after a few days, she found that Charlotte was withering day by day, not only completely losing her former demeanor, but also drinking and smoking day and night, and all political affairs and spells were left behind. In the past few days, Vivien Leigh has worked hard not only to rescue the wounded and clean up the rubble, but also to preside over the funeral and stabilize the situation. When she was too busy, Charlotte not only didn't give her the slightest help, but asked her for wine and cigarettes as soon as they met, and drank excessively all day long, which made Vivien Li, who originally thought that he was sad for a while, feel like a knife and angry.

"Mother is asking you!" Fei Wenli whispered, but as soon as the words came out, she felt regret, remembering that all his pain was caused by herself, and she was immediately entangled with shame, remorse, and anger.

Charlotte woke up like a dream, but she just glanced at Vivien Leigh with a faint look in her eyes, and replied muffled yes. In fact, looking at him like that, you can see that he didn't hear what Rebecca said at all, and now he is like a mechanical puppet that can only respond to sounds, and can only respond to words.

Fei Wenli was suddenly furious, so sad and angry that tears rolled in her eyes.

Rebecca sighed, waved her hand, and said, "Look at your father one last time." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, which made Charlotte's pale and numb face instantly moved, and he threw himself on the coffin, crying out, "No!

"Charlotte!" Rebecca's face turned angry, "Do you want your father to rest in peace under the Nine Springs?Look at you now!Have you forgotten the glory of the sword you are carrying!?"

Charlotte just shook her head and wept no.

"Get out of the way!" Rebecca snapped and slapped Charlotte in the face.

Growing up, Rebecca never slapped Charlotte despite a lot of corporal punishment. Although this blow was powerful, it was nothing to Charlotte, but after this slap, Charlotte was like a lightning strike, covering her cheeks and standing in place in a daze, her face actually showing a rare sense of relaxation these days.

He made a terrible mistake, thinking that he was so clever and triumphant that Evan had to fight him with all his might. Unexpectedly, Fort Savoie collapsed, with countless casualties, not only killing his father, but also causing Cecilia to die tragically in the ruins. Edie was surprised when he assassinated him, but in hindsight he thought that if death was a fate for him, it would be better to die on the spot.

But even after such a big mistake, Lawrence and Rebecca did not blame him for a single star, but wanted him to inherit the throne and command the North. This made his heart like a knife, and the feeling of self-loathing drowned him like a tide, and although Rebecca's slap was painful, it made him feel a little more relaxed. In his opinion, no matter how Lawrence and Rebecca punish him, it would be better than the approval of his succession to the throne.

He is an executioner who killed his father with his own hands, and what qualifications does he have to inherit the glorious throne!

Seeing him let go, Vivien Leigh and Rebecca slowly closed the coffin, and the lid of the coffin that slowly slid along the bracket closed as if it were not only the great father, but also Charlotte's painful heart. It slowly obscured all the sunlight in Charlotte's heart, and in the end only darkness and torment that never saw the light of day remained.

At this time, Charlotte, who was quietly watching the two close the coffin, seemed to have a feeling, and suddenly looked at the dark corner of the empty tomb. There, a dark shadow stood silently in the darkness, silently watching the lid of the coffin close.

Noticing Charlotte's gaze, the dark shadow silently turned its gaze and met Charlotte's gaze in the air.

That's Aven!

The heir of Erosa's original heir entered the tomb through a space-time spell and silently saw off his father in the dark.

The two brothers, who had fought for life and death two days ago, were silent, and neither of them opened their mouths to break the death-like silence. Charlotte's eyes were sad and numb, and so was Evan's eyes, as if staring at the reflection in the mirror. At this moment, the two brothers, who have very different personalities, are finally completely identical.

It was really like herself in a mirror, Charlotte saw that Aven's numb eyes gradually revealed remorse, self-blame and a touch of hatred, and then became extremely indifferent like an emperor with a heart like a hardwood.

Charlotte understood what was going on in his heart at this moment, and he understood that a small part of that hatred was for Charlotte, and more for Evan himself. Charlotte knew that the same was true in her eyes, and the two brothers, who were once close, looked at each other for a while, and finally all the self-blame, remorse, pain, and hatred all turned into the same, that is, indifference and numbness.

He didn't know what was going on in Aivan's mind. But the strange thing is that Charlotte's cold and lonely heart at the moment reveals a trace of warmth, just like a lonely traveler walking in the boundless darkness meets an equally lonely companion, even if their paths are different, even if the intersection between them is only a moment, but Charlotte knows that their starting point and end point are the same, so the loneliness and regret that almost engulfed him disappeared in thin air.

He saw Evan fall to his knees in the dark, kowtow three times solemnly to Lawrence's coffin, and then slowly get up and disappear into the darkness as he came.

So at this time, a huge sense of loneliness, self-blame and remorse overwhelmed Charlotte. Because he realized that this might be the last time they crossed paths in the infinite darkness, because Charlotte had lost her way and lost the strength to keep going.

Charlotte couldn't see him at the finish line.

At this time, the lid of the coffin was finally closed. Vivien Leigh looked at the darkness with a feeling, she thought thoughtfully for a while, and asked, "Brother just now...... Has Evan been here?"

Rebecca also looked at Charlotte with burning eyes, and Charlotte hummed softly and nodded silently.

Rebecca and Vivien Leigh showed a rare glow in their grief, and their heavy and grief-stricken faces finally eased. But Charlotte understands that nothing will come back.

Evan said goodbye to the past, and he was going to go alone.

Vivien Leigh accepted the mission, and she will move forward.

Charlotte was the only one who lost his way in the darkness and could only stay where he was, never to walk out again.
