"Children, today I want to tell you about the taboo of paladins. Remember it and forget it. 1. Never go against the way of the Light. Second, never take possession of your own guardians. Third, you should never be martyred. Do you remember? ”

"Remember, father!" Young Darien and Brother Renault replied happily.

"Renault, remember?" Obviously, the two of them answered together, but Alexandros only looked at his eldest son and asked sharply.

"Remember, father!" Although Renault replied loudly, his eyes drooped slightly to hide his dissatisfaction.

"Excellent! Have you done your homework for today? Without waiting for Renault to answer, he continued to speak to himself. If it's done, then go for another 500 dummies training! ”

"Huh?" The two children were a little stunned.

Darien Lala's father's clothes, "But, my brother said he was going to take me to the lake to fish......"

Alexandros lovingly touched his little head, "I'll take you!" With that, he lifted Darien up and sat on his neck. Let's go, Daddy will take you there......" he laughed.

Listening to the laughter of father and son, looking at their distant backs, Renault held the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, only to feel that the speech and movement between them were so eyesore. Why? Why did his father always give him such a stern, but gave Darian such a favor? "If, if my mother is still here...... will there be someone who loves me a little more." He looked away, didn't want to think about it anymore, turned and went to the training ground, and threw all his resentment on the dummy.

……

One day, Alexandros suddenly brought back a little girl about Renault's age.

"This is Sally, the daughter of Uncle Whitemayne's family, and she will be my adopted daughter from now on. I hope you can get along, come, Sally, and say hello to my sons. ”

The little girl hiding in Alexandros came out timidly.

"Hello. I'm Sally. ”

"Hello, I'm Renault."

"Hello, I'm Darien."

"Alright, Darien, you take Sally to get acquainted with our environment, Renaud, you stay, I have something to say to you."

Watching the lively Darien lead the somewhat scared Sally away, Renaud wondered what his father would talk to him about.

"Prosecutor Whitemayne died because he saved me. This is what our family owes to Sally, and I hope you understand that. ”

"I understand."

"I hope that you can become Sari's guardian knight, and if I die in battle one day, you can continue to protect her in my place. All right? Son. ”

Alexandros' rare warm tone flattered Renault. "Yes, Father!" He puffed out his chest and replied loudly.

"Good." Alexandros patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Someday, I will personally preside over your contract." Remember, the way of knighthood! ”

"Yes! Father! ”

On a sunny day, in the presence of Alexandros, Renaud Mograini officially became the guardian knight of Sally Whitemane, vowing to protect her for the rest of her life.

Renault was only 10 years old.

"Renault, do you want to take a break?" Sally followed him with her staff.

"No, you don't! I'm going to see if he can exhaust me to death!" Renault, who is already an adult, continues to run with weights that far exceed the average training load.

As Renault grew up, Alexandros trained him more and more strictly, to the point that ordinary people could not bear it.

Seeing Renault's stumbling steps still dead, Sally couldn't help but cry. "You've been in a coma twice due to overtraining, and you've just woken up with such a large amount of training, and if you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it. No, I'm going to talk to my adoptive father. With that, she turned and walked away.

Renault grabbed her hand. "Don't go, I'll prove it to him. Without him, I would have been a great Scarlet Warrior. ”

Looking at Sally's teary eyes, Renault's heart was soft. "I know, Sally, you're the only one in this family who really cares about me. Thank you. ”

Sally's face suddenly turned crimson, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was beautiful. "You...... What are you talking about, hate! She gently broke away from Reynolds' hand and hurried away like a frightened rabbit. However, she was still not at ease, and quietly glanced back, only to find that Renault was still looking at her.

The moment the four eyes met, something suddenly became clear in the hearts of the two young people.

Sally stamped her feet, grabbed the other hand that Renault had held in one hand, and hurried away like a frightened rabbit.

Renaud smiled stupidly, he suddenly felt that his heart was not tired at all, it was sweet, very sweet.

"Father, I want to marry Sally." Renault finally spoke his mind during a conversation between father and son.

What answered him was a slap in the face!

"You're crazy!" Alexandros' eyes were almost on fire. "Have you forgotten the way of knighthood? The knight has only the duty of protection to the guardian, but not the right of possession! Do you know that what you just said is enough to disgrace the name of the entire knight! ”

"But, father, I love Sally, and she loves me!" Renault endured the feeling of being beaten by his father and felt dizzy and tinnitus, gritted his teeth and said.

"Shut up! I didn't expect that I had been teaching you for so many years! I tell you, unless I die! Otherwise, you wouldn't want to do such a dishonorable thing! Alexandros strode out of the room and locked it up. You are here to reflect and reflect! ”

In the days of introspection, Renault resented more than once. He resented his father's ruthlessness, resented his own ignorance when he was young, but was more worried about whether Sally would be angered by his father.

Darien had secretly come to see him a few times, and he even joked that Sally had been crying for some reason lately, and her eyes were always red, more like a rabbit......

And these words made Renault's heart clench, twisted, and go crazy in pain.

Finally, his father released him.

When he couldn't wait to find Sally, his father told him coldly.

"I've sent Sally to the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lion to study, and Ethan Lion, as a high-ranking priest, is better able to guide Sally in her progress than in our family of knights. By the way, Tyran, of the Ferding family, is also studying at Ethan Lien, and I've asked Ethan Lien to find an opportunity to help match the two of them. ”

Hearing his father's words, the dissatisfaction in Renaud's heart reached the limit, and he couldn't help but question. "Sally? And Tyran? No! Father, why! I know you don't love me, why do you want to take away the only person who loves me! Why! Why! Am I not your son? ”

Alexandros knocked him to the ground with a slasher.

"You have no right to object to what I have done until you cannot defeat me! , General Dasthohan of the Grand Crusade will come to visit us later to discuss the dispatch of troops to Stratholme, and you better not disgrace me in front of him. ”

Alexandros looked at him condescendingly, then turned away, leaving the collapsed Renault in place.
