46 Chapter 46
For as long as Osvid could remember, he had hardly ever dreamed of his parents, and only on the few occasions he had heard such unapproaching words as "Lord Pach" and "Madame" from the lips of a servant in his dreams.
In the final analysis, the reason is that the so-called parents of Pach are really lackluster. To put it more harshly, they were more like containments than their parents, except for an old manor, an old butler, and a few servants with eyes on their heads, who didn't give Osvid anything that a normal parent would give, such as closeness and care, soothing and teaching.
Not to mention that, not even sticks and scolding are non-existent.
He could still remember the appearance of Master Pach when he thought about it carefully, after all, when he encountered some festivals, Pahe would occasionally remember that there was a son in the old manor, and bring someone over to take a look. However, although he was nominally to see his son, in fact, he was just asking the housekeeper Ian a few words, and he couldn't say anything to Osvid.
As for Mrs. Pach, Osvid could not even recall what she looked like. After all, in those years, Madame Pach was riddled with illness for a long time, and was bedridden for many years. His contact with her was pitiful, the number of meetings he could count on one hand, and the longest was her funeral.
But even so, Osvid didn't have any hatred for them, after all, hatred also had to be predicated by deep feelings, and he didn't have such a premise. It's just that when he was a child, he occasionally couldn't figure out why the Pachs had such an attitude towards him. Compared to Pach's other children, he doesn't have more heads and fewer eyes, why is he the only one who is treated differently?
Children don't know how to analyze love and hate, and it is difficult to distinguish the subtle differences between feelings. But he could see by instinct that at least the Pachs didn't treat him like their son.
If you treat your son, whether you like it or hate it, you will express it more reasonably. It will not be like Pach, who always has a sense of hesitation and repetition.
Later, it wasn't until Emperor Noel sent someone to take him into the Ugin Hanging Palace that he understood what the attitude of the Pach couple was towards him - that was the attitude towards a hot potato, not daring to throw it too far or too close, human nature, it was really normal.
When he first heard that someone from the royal family said that he was the son of Emperor Knorr, his first reaction was: whether it was the person who was sent or Emperor Knoll himself, they were crazy!
In his perception, Emperor Knoll was not a person to be liked and admired. There were many rumors about the Emperor, and even though he had lived in the old manor for many years and was almost isolated from the rest of the world, Auswid had heard of some of them from the Broken Mouth servants.
When he was young, the emperor was a prodigal, over-energetic, and a scumbag who changed women like clothes. Of course, the emperor never admitted that he was a scumbag, and always emphasized that he was deeply in love with every woman in office.
It's just that his love has always been the size of a ditch, and it will come to an end after three pounces and two pounces, and the rivers and lakes will disappear when he goes ashore. When he jumps into the next ditch of love, he always says when he mentions the previous paragraph: I was too young to understand my feelings.
He has been "young" for more than 30 years, and finally he is too lazy to pull the banner of love anymore, and after middle age, he is even more prodigal than before.
I don't know if it's because God opened his eyes or what the reason is, when he finally got tired of playing and began to think about the next generation, he suddenly found that he didn't have a few children left around. Tragically, these children died young, and in the end, only one daughter remained.
Unfortunately, the emperor had an almost insane paranoia about his son, believing that his only remaining daughter was not enough to inherit the entire Golden Lion Kingdom. So, at the age of fifty, Emperor Knorr began his prodigal life again, working diligently for several years without success.
He finally began to resign himself to his fate, and he thought back to the sins he had committed in his youth, and tried to find a few more sons.
After thinking about it, he only thought of one - Osvid, who he had asked the Pach family to raise on his behalf.
Osvid had no affection for the emperor who claimed to be his father, and likewise did not have the slightest yearning for a place like the Ugin Hanging Palace, which represented power and status.
To be precise, it was actually the worst two years for him - first learned that Kevin Fassbender, who was the commander-in-chief of the Bronze Army, had died on the battlefield and would never see each other again. Then the Pach family was destroyed, and the old manor where he had lived for many years was destroyed. If he hadn't brought Ian to the palace, none of the people involved in his childhood and teenage memories would have been gone.
It's as if his past has been wiped out.
In this situation, Osvid's relationship with Emperor Knorr is good. At that time, Osvid was only a teenager, and he devoted himself to killing the emperor every day during the day, and at night he tried every means to get out of the Ugin Hanging Palace, as far away from the hellish emperor and the hellish place as possible.
When Emperor Knorr found out about his attempt, he almost turned his place into a prison and guarded it layer by layer.
During that time, Osvid was self-taught and mastered all kinds of skills such as picking doors and locks, cultivating plank roads in the dark, and building a foot high and magic high.
It's a pity that the palace is a palace after all, and it's not easy to get in, and it's even harder to get out.
At that time, Osvid was almost unwilling to pay attention to anyone except for the occasional conversation with Ian, the old butler next to him. He saw that everything in the palace of Ugin was not pleasant, except for his half-sister, Sara, the only daughter of Emperor Knorr.
Sara is almost the only person in the palace who has no scheming or scheming and only cares about him.
Probably because they shared a father like that, so because of some aspects of sympathy, Osvid couldn't show disgust for her. This only sister was nearly ten years older than him, and sometimes took care of him more carefully than his elders, and was the gentlest of the people he had ever come into contact with since childhood.
Because of Sarah, for the first time, he vaguely understood what the care and closeness of his family was like.
When Ausveld first came to the Ugin Palace, Emperor Knorr only said that he was his father, and did not even tell him who his mother was and what kind of person she was. Of course, Auswid suspected that the emperor himself might not even be able to remember.
Later, it was Sara who secretly helped him inquire with the old man in the palace before he asked for a result.
"I heard that her name is White Hill, and she is a tall beauty! With transparent and beautiful eyes, just like you. When Sara told him, she mysteriously pulled out a roll of parchment: "I secretly went around St. Antis, and got a folk painter to paint one for you." Hmmβit's just drawn according to the description, and it probably doesn't look like it. β
It was the first time Osvid had heard about his mother, and the first time he had seen what his mother might look like.
The woman in the painting smiled gently, and there was indeed a slight resemblance between his eyebrows and eyes, which was probably what gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he still had a memory of her.
After that, he occasionally dreamed of Sara handing him a parchment roll a few times, and he never got any three-dimensional impression of the beautiful woman named White Hill.
Therefore, when he saw a tall beauty in a drowsy dream of cold and heat, he almost didn't even realize who it was.
The woman in the dream was just like Sarah's description, with almost transparent eyes, which were extremely clear. Her hair was long and thick, and the color was very different from that of Osvid, a very light white-gold color. Her smile is not as gentle as in the picture, but there is a sense of girlish freshness and brightness, as if she can make a little joke in the next second.
"He's so small, it's fun to pinch his fingers." Osvid saw her leaning down to look at him, and rubbed his face with a smile: "Why is he so stupid that he can't even cry?" I want to make him cry. β
Osvid: "......"
He actually wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that his mouth seemed to be sewn up, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
Everything in the dream seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, and everyone's face and voice were not clear. He vaguely heard a middle-aged woman's voice scolding angrily: "Bai, don't always pinch him, be careless." β
The woman's voice drew closer, and as the words fell, Osveld saw a gentle and kind middle-aged woman appear above him, she looked much shorter than Shiro, and smiled somewhat similarly.
"Daddy, aren't you going to come and see him? He was laughing. Bai smiled and shouted back.
"Will you laugh?" A deep voice came from far and near, and then a figure much taller than ordinary people appeared in front of Osvid's eyes. The middle-aged man's shoulders were so broad that he could almost encircle his daughter and wife in his arms, and as soon as he came over, he frowned and said, "Why didn't you cover him with a blanket, it's almost winter, and he's going to get sick if he gets cold." β
Osvid looked at them in a daze, and the next second he was covered by the warm blanket, but he didn't know if the blanket was too small, and the warm feeling always stayed on half of his arm.
He was a little uncomfortable with the cold, and he couldn't help but try to reach out and grab two handfuls, and stubbornly pulled the warm blanket into his arms, hugging him tightly, trying to make himself warmer......
"Heyβwake up! Hiss β my ribs! β
Osvid was awakened by the wrestling of the blanket in his arms, and vaguely heard a few complaints close to his ear, the voice was very familiar, not like any of the things he had seen in his dreams, but likeβ
Kevin Fassbender!
The Emperor snapped his eyes open, and his breath froze at Kevin's close face.
ββ¦β¦ Finally awake? Kevin sighed and laughed, "I know you're cold, but don't you strangle so hard, okay?" I'm going to break my ribs, don't you know that your hands are terrifyingly strong, dear majesty? β
His whole body was strangled in Osvid's arms, and the arms around his old waist almost crushed his bones with a clattering sound, and it was simply unbearable.
The young emperor didn't know whether he was stunned by the reality of the situation, or if he hadn't completely detached himself from the dream, as if he hadn't understood Kevin's words, he maintained his original posture and was stunned for a while, before releasing a little.
Kevin let out a long breath, and said that he could finally take a breath, but as soon as this exclamation ended, he felt Osvid tighten his arms again, and the bridge of his cold nose and cheeks suddenly pressed against Kevin's shoulder socket, rubbing against Kevin's warm neck.
Kevin: "......"
These two blows made the hairs on his back stand up, and goosebumps sprung up his neck like mushrooms after a rain, almost spreading to the top of his head.
"You...... Do you even have to warm up your face? Kevin asked stiffly.
Osveld pressed against his neck and gave a low "um", which made Kevin stiffen even more, and then he spread his hand and raised his head and said, "It's almost freezing and I can't speak, borrow the heat from your neck to slow down." β
Kevin: "......"
He sat back to the side without embarrassment, straightened his clothes, and then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why is your dream talk just now a beast language?" What did you dream about? β
Osvid frowned and thought about it, then suddenly opened his mouth with some hesitation: "I don't know if this is just a dream I imagined, or if it ever really happened...... I dreamed of my mother, and her parents, and I should have been so young that I couldn't even speak. β
He remembered the extraordinarily tall middle-aged man in the dream, and hesitated: "In the dream, my grandfather is a ...... Behemoths? β
"What?!" Kevin was stunned for a moment, and the ambiguous feeling just now was instantly forgotten, "Giant orc? β
If it's a Behemoth...... If there is a Behemothic bloodline......
Kevin suddenly remembered what the previous class had said - it was the end of June, and it was Betan Day. During the week, all Behemoths are forced back into their beast form. And what about the half-breeds?
He seemed to understand what Osvid's body was doing now, "What were you looking at?" β
Kevin was about to ask him if he had ever had such an experience before, when he found Osvid staring intently at the fingers of his left hand, not knowing what he was doing.
"Hereβ" Osvid moved his ring finger and said with an indescribable expression, "Why is there suddenly a handful of white hair?" β
Kevin, who was interrupted from his train of thought, didn't look at it, and said casually: "Who knows, it's moldy." β
Osvid: "...... who's going to fork this bastard thing out?!
