Chapter 29: Brother and Sister (II)

"Brother Cons, Dante, big liar." Sophia's voice was cold, but Constance Dante could clearly feel the expression of disappointment.

"I said I wouldn't leave Sophia alone."

"Sophia," Constance Dante's hand rested lightly on Sophia's head, "do you remember the past?" For example, ten years ago..." The boy's voice became a little shaky.

However, Sophia's face showed a blank look, and the girl shook her head.

Constance Dante breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, Sophia. But sometimes I can't be there for you. "But Brother Cons, Dante, had promised before." Sophia said willfully.

"Don't worry, since I promised not to abandon you, even if you are at the ends of the earth one day, I will find you."

Sophia raised her head, like a kitten, and asked with vigilance in her eyes, "Really?" ”

"Don't worry." Constance Dante caressed his sister's head fondly, but there was a hint of the same emotion in the young man's deep eyes.

The memories seemed to bring him back to that tumultuous night ten years ago, but the pain interrupted ConsitΓ© Dante's thoughts once more.

Even I don't want to remember it, Sophia doesn't want to think about it again! Constance Dante muttered inwardly.

"Brother Cons, Dante, you have to promise me that I will always be with Sophia. Sofia will also always be by Constance's brother's side. Sophia suddenly whispered in Consdante's ear. The girl's fragrance can be clearly smelled by Dante, like a small flower blooming in spring.

"But Sophia will still marry and live in someone else's house in the future." Constance Dante only subconsciously replied that as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Sophia paused, her eyes a little lost, and soon buried her head in Constantine's arms again.

Constance Dante hurriedly wanted to comfort and make up for his mistakes.

"Actually, it's nothing, as long as Sophia wants to come back, I will always prepare a warm room for you." In fact, even Constance Dante himself has no effect on this, but sooner or later Sophia will have to grow up and marry and have her own life, and Sophia can't have a happy life because of her own reasons.

"But we're not going to be a family anymore." The girl in her arms let out a low, sad voice. Sophia also realizes that she can't stay with Constance Dante forever.

"Justin, an unknown child of unknown origin before the age of ten, does not appear in the genealogy of the Komnenos dynasty at all. Thirteen years ago, during the Armenian War between New Rome and the Seljuk Khanate, His Royal Highness, known as the Knight King, stepped into the military arena like a dazzling new star, and was promoted to Imperial General in just three years, commanding the mecha legions of New Rome. ”

"It's a short resume. Warren-kun. After listening to the report of the man in front of him, Arthur still looked down at the Bible in his hand and said lightly.

"The subordinates are incompetent." Warren bowed his head and apologized. "The war destroyed the archives of New Rome, and that's all we can find."

Arthur waved his hand and closed the book, saying, "I don't blame you, just a little surprised." ”

"Just like an existence that appears out of thin air, it stands to reason that as long as it exists in this world, it will definitely leave traces, and such a dazzling task, even if it is only a young child at the time, cannot be completely transparent, it is simply like a god completely erases his past."

Warren also raised his head, his expression full of doubt: "It's just, Master Arthur." Mecha is really something that a little kid can handle. It's incredible. ”

"It's incredible, but in the recent rebellion in Findel, that man single-handedly wiped out the [Chosen Knight], and even the Herodian butcher was defeated at his hands. There is not the slightest doubt about his strength. Arthur said, "Only the former knight kings have such power!" ”

"The Chosen Knight and the Butcher of Herod!?" Warren was also shocked, even in the West, the prestige of the Grand Duke Tudor was thunderous.

"And," Arthur stood up, draped over his coat hanging on a hanger, "the original test riders of the Holy See mecha were a group of children, only two or three years older than the original knight king. The appearance of such a thing as a mecha in this world is a paradox in itself, so no matter how strange and weird things happen around it, there is no surprise that something strange and weird happens. ”

"But there are some things that I care about." Arthur seemed to be saying to himself, "How could he have a sister?" ”

"Master Arthur. Are you going out or not? ”

"Hmm." Arthur looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "It's almost midnight, it's time to meet them." ”

"But in the evening you have to meet with the family's counsellor in Constantinople." Warren said. "I'm afraid that's not good!"

"Help me push it off!" Arthur snapped his fingers.

・・・・・・

Twelve midnight, Knight's Tavern.

At this time, the tavern was filled with a noisy crowd and a strong smell of alcohol, which was an outlaw place in the city, and even the police force could not completely remove the cancer in the city. Gathered a crowd of people of all religions and nine streams, most of them wearing black hats to cover their faces, and the place was stained with an unsightly dark atmosphere.

There was a knock on the door of the tavern.

"Who is it?" A secret door opened, revealing half a shriveled and yellowed face.

"It's me." Outside the door, the cloak was lifted to reveal a silver mask, Arthur's voice.

The wooden door was opened, and there was a wizened old man with a kerosene lamp hanging in his hand, "Hello, Arthur-kun." The old man made a hoarse voice like a crow chirping.

"Hello, Mr. Oliver." Arthur put on his cloak again and followed the old man into the dark hallway.

"Has the person I'm going to see arrive?" Arthur asked the old man walking in front.

"Of course, they just arrived." Mr. Oliver smiled eerily and led Arthur to the door.

"Here it is, Arthur-kun."

Arthur nodded, threw a gold coin to the old man, and said with a smile, "Thank you." "Happy working together, Arthur-kun. We will always be the best place here for these shady deeds. Our boss will always be happy to work with you. Oliver dragged his rickety body away.

Arthur opened the door, and Prescas and Constance Dante had been waiting for a long time.

"Hello, Young Arthur!" Preskars smiled.

"Hello, Professor Preskas."
