Chapter 47: Divergence
Rothkoop's annoyance was not because he thought Christine too much, but because he felt that his dignity was being challenged, and the challenger was still a Herodian!
How dare a Herod pariah, the delusional prey of the son of his dignified Duke Klossau. Why, why should a poor bastard who looks at the warehouse fight with himself?! The more he thought about it, the more angry Roskop became, clutching the fork in his hand, almost breaking it.
But the two young men in the private room did not feel the slightest sense of the coming of the disaster. And Rothkop did not have an immediate seizure, because in this academy he was only a person, and the identity of Constance Dante was unknown to him. The cautious Rothkop suppressed the anger in his heart and sat back in his seat.
After all, this is the Imperial Seminary, and there is no way he can fight with a lowly miscellaneous servant for this, or he will become the laughing stock of the whole school.
Constance Dante roughly told Andrew about his experience, of course, about the part of the mecha and the Herod Resistance Army, he didn't tell him, although Constance Dante believed Andrew, but it was far from trusting.
"I didn't expect you to become an assistant to the professor of the academy." Andrew said sneeringly. "But what does this have to do with your responsibilities, Your Highness!"
Constance Dante was stunned, apparently surprised by Andrew's overreaction.
"Your Highness, now that you have come back to find me・・・・・・ shouldn't you ask me to help you restore your country?" Andrew stumbled, looking clumsy and agitated. In his mind, the return of Cons-Dante should have made the heavens tremble, like a tyrannical monarch sweeping everything away. Andrew, who had witnessed the destruction of his family, couldn't accept the fact that this former knight king had to spend the rest of his life in peace!?
"I'm not a highness anymore." Constance Dante looked at Andrew apologetically, he could understand his anger and confusion, but there were some things that could not be told to him. "・・・・・・I thought about it for a long time, maybe a little selfish, but I still wanted to run away. I've lost so much, so much! I don't have a chance to do it again, and I don't want to risk my life yet. ”
Constance Dante could only answer him in this way, and although he had made up his mind to meet the tragedy of fate, he could not say it. Andrew is just an ordinary person, he can't control anything, this is what Constance Dante has been thinking about for a long time, he wants Andrew to take himself out of this whirlpool! But it is also possible that Andrew was also caught up in it and torn to pieces.
"You once told me that the world never gives you time to think about it, and if you hesitate for a second, the opportunity will pass by your fingertips. Whether you can grasp it or not, you should stretch out your hand to grasp the beauty of this world. ”
"But why don't you do it?" Constance Dante clearly said that he would seize the opportunity, but in Andrew's eyes, the former knight king had given up everything.
Kang Shi Dante's deep eyes were not shocked, but he said indifferently: "My life is a devastation, and every step I take, there is a trap to fall into hell, but it is different for you, ordinary people are qualified to boldly pursue their dreams, and people who are caught in the whirlpool of fate, even mediocrity is a luxury." I'm going to gamble my life, but there's not much in the world that can make me do that. ”
"You can choose to say no." Constance Dante was silent for a moment before speaking. He somewhat regretted giving the key to Andrew, that key was dangerous, maybe it was just a specific object, maybe it was a nightmare for the world! Although in a way, Constance Dante is taking advantage of the wooden guy in front of him, Constance Dante does not want him to be in danger and make himself feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Nope! I will not refuse, my life belonged to you ten years ago. But I ・・・・・・ I still want you to come back and lead us! Andrew will always remember the moment when he came out of the ruins in the catastrophe ten years ago, like God bringing back to earth the people who had been trapped in hell.
Ten years ago, I didn't save you out of any responsibility, but out of repentance! Looking at those clean eyes, Constance Dante said silently in his heart.
If he knew the truth, I'm afraid he would hate me! Constance Dante knew that even Andrew knew himself best, he also knew him the least. Whenever Constance Dante wanted to recall the catastrophe ten years ago, he could only see the blood on his hands in the dark night when the flames raged, and a voice told him that it was all the price he had chosen!
As for Andrew, even Constance Dante himself can't remember how he saved him in the first place, only that when he woke up, two big boys and a little girl were hiding in a cave in the northern mountains, and the wreckage of the broken mecha was lying in the winding mountains.
"Andrew!" Suddenly, a delicate voice startled the two of them. "Why are you here?" There was a thick doubt in his voice, and Consité Dante and Andrew followed the prestige at the same time.
"It's you!"
"Miss Christine!"
Because the historical cities of Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem have been devastated by war, there is no one with the strongest academic atmosphere than Constantinople, so the Imperial Theological Academy can be said to be the largest institution in the East, and ConstanceDante did not expect to meet the girl who showed him the way again.
And it seems that Andrew and she know each other, blurting out and calling each other's names, it seems that the relationship is not simple! The corners of Constance Dante's mouth inadvertently showed a smile.
Although it was not obvious, Andrew also captured that it would have been embarrassing enough to meet Christine here, and he felt even more embarrassed at this time.
And the unexpected encounter makes the girl forget that her companion has gone away.
"Christine, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up! Christine's companion was calling out to her.
"Here we go!" Christine, who looked a little flustered, had no choice but to wave her hand to Andrew in the box, and ran away without even having time to say a word.
And Andrew's hand that was supposed to say hello had to freeze in mid-air, so he was not embarrassed and a little disappointed.
"Do you regret your hesitation just now?" Constant, Dante's rare banter, looking at Andrew, who was distracted.
"A little, but I seem to be a little delusional!" In any case, Andrew is just a handyman, what qualifications does he have to pursue those unrealistically good?
"Your Highness, do you know Miss Christine too?" Andrew remembered that Cons Dante had just said "It's you!" Although Christine didn't pay attention to it herself, Andrew did.
"I met you on the road when I was looking for you before." Constance Dante looked out the door, "A very nice girl indeed!" ”
"Yes! She used to borrow books from the library to show me. Andrew nodded heartily and smiled.
"That's all for now! I have other things to do, and the next time I look for you, I'll go straight to the warehouse. Constance Dante glanced out the window at the sky, and it was clear that it was not early. With that, Cons, Dante hurriedly threw down a few silver coins and left the private room.
