Chapter 16: It's Time to Go Home

"These are the letters your mother wrote to you in the seven years you have been away from home."

The president's father took out a very sealed bag from the cabinet and placed it on the table and said to Estes

"During this period, because I couldn't find you or contact you, I have been backlogged here and couldn't deliver it to you, but now I can finally deliver it to you."

As he spoke, President Bradley showed a rare expression of helplessness. The only people he cares about for so many years are his wife and his daughter, his wife is always strong and worry-free, and his daughter is very strong but powerful. No matter what happened to these two men, Bradley believed that he could get through it, he knew that the two members of his small family knew that they were strong and strong inside, but somehow ......

Thinking about looking at the daughter in front of me who has grown into an excellent warrior after not seeing her for seven years, and looking at the usually strong daughter who has to hold the letter on the table in her arms like seeing a baby at this time......

'Why?' ’

President Bradley asked himself

Why is the two of them so much of a headache together? ’

Whenever I think of how little Estes pestered herself to help her help how to perfunctory the teacher and fool her mother when she was a child, I think about my wife who keeps preaching every time I see Estes brutally killing all the small animals around the house.

Obviously, when the two of them are independent, it is very worry-free, but when they get together, even Bradley finds it difficult.

Sure enough, is it too good and determined? ’

It's nothing in itself for two equally good people to be together, but if there is too much difference in personality and ideological views, then there is a problem, and the problem of the daughter and wife is also here.

I wish she had changed a little bit over the years. ’

Looking at his daughter, who had fallen silent with her eyes closed and holding a pile of letters, Bradley hoped that her daughter would change her mind sooner......

Your mother has always been very concerned about you. ’

…………………………………………………………………

Is this what my mother wrote to me? ’

When I opened the package, there were hundreds of handwritten letters from my mother. From the yellowed letters at the bottom to the brand new letters at the top, each one was signed with the name of my mother's beautiful pen.

"Why have all the letters been opened?" I took out a letter and found that the envelope had been opened, and I asked my father

"Because I can't find you all the time, and I don't want your mother to worry, I read the letters she wrote to you and help me reply regularly."

Sure enough, his father's answer was similar to what Estes thought, because he had practiced in the mountains a few years ago, except for hunting and going to the city, so it was impossible to find his whereabouts, and Estes chose some very dangerous areas when he practiced, where no one could track except monsters.

"You're a little nosy, but I'd like to say thank you."

Esdes was a little dissatisfied with his father's reading of his mother's letter to him without his consent, but thanks to this behavior, he did not let his worried mother worry too much.

Thanks to this nosy father.

'Write to my daughter......'

Seeing such an opening, seeing the round and powerful flower characters of his mother's hand, seeing such an opening, somehow, Estes felt that the corners of his eyes suddenly moistened.

It's been years, years, and it's been seven years since Estes left home...... No, it's been almost eight years. In the past eight years, I have always encountered problems, solved them alone, and constantly fought and trained myself.

After all these years, Estes has the confidence to consider himself a strong man and a good fighter, but why? Why did Estes feel that his throat was straining when he saw his mother's familiar handwriting in front of him, and when he saw the ordinary beginning, the corners of his eyes began to moisten, and the fog and dew began to condense around his big beautiful eyes, and his vision was a little blurry?

"It's weird, it's a weird feeling."

Rustantly wiping the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, Estes asked himself suspiciously, holding a yellowed letter in one hand

"What's wrong with me?"

Why do you cry? Why is it sad and moving? Why do you suddenly have the urge to hold your mother, who has not been able to annoy me for several years?

Obviously, I used to be so annoyed by her, annoyed by her nagging and chattering, but now, now, after nearly eight years, when I saw the letter written by my mother to me again, I, who once thought that I had matured and strong, who had become an excellent hunter, a warrior, an alchemist, and an officer, had already burst into tears without even reading the first paragraph of the letter?

I couldn't help but hug the pile of letters in front of me, put my head and bury my face in the letters, greedily looking for the smell of my mother from these letters that had been separated for several years,

It was as if I had returned to my mother's arms, to my home, to my mother's bedroom and living room study, which had been the least cold for me. Returning to his mother's side, Estes looked happy.

Sure enough, I still can't let go of that home. ’

After so much, Estes has always thought that he is strong and confident, he can lead a force of less than a thousand people to cross the snowy mountains and surprise the enemy army, relying on his alchemy and great strength to fight against the powerful existence of the enemy's legion, but it was not until he saw those letters, those letters that represented the name of mother and mother's love, that Estes understood such a truth

No matter when, she will always be her mother's daughter, no matter when, she will love her mother, even if it has been nearly eight years, even if her hands have been stained with the blood of foreign invaders and foreign civilians, and she has become a killer and executioner, she is still her mother's daughter.

I still love my mother and miss my mother's warm embrace.

"Go home, Estes."

Looking at Estes's appearance, Bradley knew that this was the best time to speak.

"Your mother misses you."

Bradley didn't want his wife to be disappointed, sad and sad at any time, no matter what time it was.

"You are a member of our family, my blood relatives and daughters."

It is a rare soft word in a hundred years to be able to say such words from Bradley's mouth.

"yes."

Slowly getting up from the letters, like a normal 15-year-old girl coming out of the arms of her attached mother, carefully and preciously packed and tied the whole bag of letters

"It's time to go home."

Eight years is enough time for a wanderer who has not returned home all the year round to see himself clearly, to see the importance of a home, until a moment ago, Estes still thinks that he is a precocious, excellent, noble and extraordinary person, and now, when the tears of happiness really flow out of his eyes for the first time, Estes understands that he is really no different from others.

I also like the people I like, I will also want to desire those things I want, I will also rebel and rebel, I will also be arrogant and arrogant, I will not know the height of the sky, there will be times when I look for warmth and embrace, and when I am tired, when I am lonely, I will long for the warm embrace of the mother called Mother.

"It's time to go home."
