Chapter 4 Ancestral Grievances
Mobile reading
The old man in a linen gray robe looked at the black-haired woman with a grim expression on the opposite side, and the expression on his face had an indescribably complex meaning. Pinshu.com
"Charlotte...... It's been a long time. ”
Cranred @ Alpha, the principal of Presland House, a legendary powerhouse of a generation, and a figure who is admired and respected by others, is facing this woman at this time, but he is not as downtrodden as an ordinary old man.
Inner remorse, guilt...... It has long been condensed into the deepest heaviness, although it is not always pressed on his heart, but it is always there, and from time to time it reminds him of the years that have passed.
The irreparable lover, the irreparable fault.
In front of her, and her husband, he was nothing, just a loser.
"Cranred, you're alive, it's good. ”
The woman named Charlotte was wearing a white robe on a black background, black hair and a shawl, her forehead bangs were split in half, her face was dignified and beautiful, and there was a diamond-shaped blue pattern in the shape of a miniature array at the center of her eyebrows, revealing a little mystery.
"You must be killed by my own hands...... So it's really nice to see that you didn't die in the Healers Guild, and you didn't die at the hands of the orcs. ”
The woman's calm words contained a trace of extreme coldness.
When the old man heard this, his heart was full of bitterness.
"Someday, I will sacrifice your head to my husband, but unfortunately not now, because there is so much to do, and you should be thankful for it......" Charlotte looked out the window.
Cranred sighed inwardly, he didn't know what his expression was now.
The two of them were in relative silence in the room.
"I'm going to see a magical fire mage, not you, an old immortal, what are you doing, and where is Chongyang?"
“...... Magical fire mages are not something you can see if you want to. Cranred looked up, looked at the other party, and said slowly, "As a representative who was summoned by the chief assistant of the Phoenix Army to receive you, I can only answer like this. ”
Charlotte raised her delicate eyebrows.
"And as the Dean of Prisland and an ally of the Magical Fire Mage, I have to say. You should know the child's current condition, but it's not something that can be seen casually, even if you're his grandmother......"
Charlotte snorted.
"It's a big shelf...... It should be those of the so-called Phoenix Army who took it upon themselves to block the news, such as the chief assistant officer...... If Chongyang himself knew that I was coming, he would definitely see me!"
Cranred acquiesced.
In fact, Chongyang, who was still being treated, was cut off from the outside world by the Flame Demon in a more complete way, so the Magical Fire Mage didn't know that his grandmother was coming.
The so-called Chief Counsellor. Who else could there be but the Fire Demon?
Knowing that Charlotte appeared, she didn't let Zhuoyang or Luo Yang. didn't let Tinaya, but let Cranred go to receive the grandmother of the Bright family, in addition to showing the usual bad taste, more importantly, it conveyed a message, that is, he didn't want Chongyang to be disturbed in any way!
Cranred was used as a gun, but he couldn't help it, the existence of the Fire Demon was far more terrifying than Chongyang in a sense, and even he had to obey its dispatch, otherwise God knows what would happen.
Charlotte saw that the person who had come to receive her turned out to be Cranred. After the annoyance, when she calmed down, she faintly sensed the other party's intentions, and she was angry and helpless.
As a grandmother, she has not seen her grandson for many years, and she is guilty of talking about it. And it is also a fact that Chongyang is in a bad situation now. She suddenly appeared and said that she wanted to see him, and it was not surprising that she was rejected.
After thinking about it, Charlotte sighed in her heart.
"Okay...... I'll tell you why I'm here. Cranred, you'll tell me for you...... In any case, this news must reach Chongyang's ears. ”
......
............
The Firedemon fell silent for a long time when he learned of Charlotte's intentions from Cranred.
Eventually, she called Roseari.
After the Empress of the Empire learned the news from the Flame Demon, her expression was also very solemn. His heart fell into a deep tangle that was more uncertain than the fire demon.
When the fire demon saw Rosyali's expression, his heart was much more balanced, so he pulled the Imperial Empress into the dream realm and let her go to see Chongyang's consciousness.
Dream space.
Chongyang ushered in Rose, confused by the other party's visit and the subtle tangled expression.
It wasn't until he transformed the dream space into a more talkative shape and invited the other party to sit down that the Imperial Empress still had a complicated expression on her face.
"What the hell is wrong with you? It seems that there are words that you really want to say but can't say...... Or something?"
"This ...... Right. ”
Roseali sighed deeply. It was at this moment that the decision was finally made.
Then he suddenly realized that all his entanglements were actually caused by an ugly mood, so he couldn't help but fall into deep self-loathing, and resentment towards the fire demon who gave him this task of relaying.
Chongyang had never seen such an expression from the Empress of the Empire.
He couldn't help but feel solemn while feeling funny, what kind of problem could make the other party so distressed?
The trend of the war, the handling of domestic political problems, the disposal of orc captives?
He guessed in his heart, and when he saw the other party, he seemed to muster some kind of courage and stare deeply into his eyes.
"Chongyang ...... Helen has news. ”
......
Sensing a strong mental reaction from the disciple in the healing tank, the Flame Demon couldn't help but sigh.
"Master! I ......"
"I know, stupid disciple...... There's no way I'm going to let your body out this time anyway, so ......"
As he spoke, the Fire Demon did something to present certain information to the magical fire mage in the healing tank in the form of a dream message.
"This is ......" Chongyang's consciousness was slightly surprised, "Can it work?"
"It takes about seven days to produce the finished product...... No, for three days, I'll bring Luo Yang over to help. It would be too wasteful to let that kind of talent handle the affairs of the imperial court. The Flame Demon said lightly, "As long as everything goes well, you can set off in three days." ”
"Thank you......!"
"Hmph...... You idiot is always causing trouble. ”
......
............
Three days have passed.
Despite being told that she would be able to see someone in three days, Charlotte remained restless in the wait.
She couldn't help but think that Chongyang might refuse to help.
After all, although Helen is his lover, it is difficult to say to what extent the relationship between the two is deep.
Moreover, it was clearly stated in the words she spoke. This time the operation was most likely in vain, as things were already in their final stages. Chongyang's shot will not benefit from anything other than the risk of attrition and injury.
There may be a glimmer of hope to save Helen, but that's just a personal thing. Is the magical fire mage who has borne the fate of the entire human race still willing and able to go on an adventure that may lead to nothing for his own selfish interests!?
Charlotte wasn't sure.
Because in her opinion. People change.
Maybe Chongyang was willing to take such an adventure in the past, but now he ...... Such a high status. With such a heavy burden, how can you still make choices that seem to be made by ordinary people on impulse?
Her own experience back then is a good illustration of this.
The first love who thought that he could be together for a long time, with strength, fame, status, power, and responsibility...... All kinds of changes, and finally a cold face. As if to a stranger, he coldly proposed to break up with her, who loved him deeply, and she was already pregnant with his flesh and blood at that time.
She has no regrets.
She also did not doubt the love that person had for her in the first place.
It's just that she has a deep understanding of human nature. It will change depending on various factors.
The human heart is far more fragile than anyone thinks.
Realizing this, she married a little nobleman in frustration, but she didn't expect that this man she didn't take seriously in the first place was far inferior to her first love. showed an incomparably firm love far beyond her imagination.
So she also fell in love with him seriously, and once again had some hope in people's hearts.
However, the husband she loved died of illness because of the persecution of the person she once loved!
Her husband had a strong heart that loved her until his death, but he was used by the powerful man in every way. Killed by playing!
So, she will never be able to forgive this person - Cranred @Alpha!
However, she also knows the fragility of her heart: despite her anger, despite the poisonous oath, she still can't give much hatred to the person she once loved.
So he had obviously cultivated to the point where he could take revenge, but he didn't really put it into action for a long time, and just didn't face it with various excuses like an ostrich that buried its head under the sand.
Far away from his family, away from his enemies, he cowardly escaped.
This is her, Charlotte, a woman with a weak heart.
In this way, she could not believe that her grandson, who had the blood of such a cold and hateful man, could have a strong and unchanging heart like her husband.
So although she accepted the commission to ask for help, she didn't really have much hope.
There wasn't much hope, but there was hope.
She hopes to see the magical fire mage, and hopes that Chongyang @Bright will disregard the righteousness of mankind for the sake of her own selfish feelings and agree to her request for help.
......
In the room, the black-haired woman was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Luo Huoran came back to her senses and stood up, but saw that it was not the person she was waiting for who pushed the door in, her expression suddenly stiffened, and then her anger was cold.
"What are you doing here!?"
In the face of the woman's roar, Cranred had a bitter expression and secretly clenched his palms.
"Charlotte...... I know you'll never be able to forgive me...... But I still ...... Still want to say ......"
The old man breathed deeply, his figure and appearance gradually changed, and finally turned into a young man with red hair hanging down his shoulders, and his face, which was usually indifferent, was full of deep guilt.
"What happened back then...... I really regret abandoning you and your children...... Killed your husband...... These are the things I've been regretting for so many years......"
Charlotte's body trembled when she heard this, and her face became even more angry.
"I'm just talking about these ...... now"
The red-haired young man seemed to want to lower his head, but as if he remembered something, he kept his head up, and his eyes insisted on looking into the woman's eyes.
"Even if you say it, it's useless......"
"Even if it just adds to your hatred......"
"But I have to say...... I'm sorry......"
"I ...... It was a cowardly man who gave up on the people he loved just because of those pressures, and he would have had to cherish the treasures of his life......"
"I thought I was strong, but I found out when your husband didn't give in until he died, when you swore to kill me when you knew the truth. I'm actually very weak......"
"I saw my weakness, I was scared, I regretted it, I felt guilty......"
"I want to be stronger...... But I've never learned what really is powerful......"
"I don't ask for forgiveness, and when you really want to kill me, I won't resist...... It's just that. There is one last hope......"
Cranred exudes a touch of misery, but from the bottom of his heart. A smile that is eager to convey something.
"You...... Be sure to let yourself go...... You don't have any fault at all, you shouldn't take any responsibility in your heart, don't let hatred or anything else hinder your happiness with your family, okay?"
"Give it to me...... Shut up !!"
Charlotte roared loudly, rushed up and stretched out his hand, instantly condensing a black-red magic sword, brushing the ground and resting on the neck of the red-haired youth!
Cranred closed his eyes, and until this moment, his whole body relaxed. There was a hint of relief on his face.
That's the end of it, actually, it's pretty good.
Rather than die with a heavy burden of guilt in your heart, you can say what you want to say, regardless of dignity, responsibility, or other ...... Very reckless. But it's really good.
Sun @ Bright...... This apology may come too late, but I still hope that after seeing you underground, you will be able to accept it.
Also, I want to thank you. Charlotte was given...... The happiness that I failed to give......
......
............
Cranred waited for a long time, but did not wait for the coldness of death.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Charlotte's tangled face and tears on her face.
"What's the use of apologizing now!? That man is dead...... Died because of you......"
"I can't forgive you, I can never ......"
"But...... I seem to ...... I can't kill you......"
The woman was in tears, and the magic sword in her hand trembled slightly. Finally put it away slowly.
"I can't kill you now......"
"But I'm going to do it...... Definitely...... Until then, you are not allowed to die......"
Cranred stared blankly at the other and nodded deeply.
"I'll keep my life for you. ”
"I don't want it! You...... I don't want to see you again!"
In the next second, the red-haired youth was blasted out of the room by the powerful magic, and the door and the walls were shattered.
He scrambled to his feet in the rubble, took one last look at the woman, and then left.
Walk through the corridor and around the corner, you see a black-haired young man in a black robe......
"It's great to be alive, right, Dean?" Chongyang smiled slightly.
Cranred wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and glared at the other.
"Didn't you just say you'd stay outside the door?"
"Hmm, did I say that?" Chongyang touched his chin and said lightly.
Cranred suddenly felt the urge to smack the other man, but he thought about it...... I relaxed.
The reason why the head of the Presland House suddenly became so honest and took the initiative to apologize was because of the instigation of the magical fire mage!
It may not be right to say that it is instigating......
In short, Chongyang appeared in front of Cranred, and with strength and words, he half-persecuted and half-persuaded the old man to apologize to his former lover for what happened back then.
Originally, Cranred just wanted to simply say sorry or something, but when he really faced Charlotte, for some reason, he said all his thoughts in one go!
Now he thinks about it, when Chongyang "convinced" him, it seemed that he used some spell......
Cranred felt like he was...... No, it was definitely plotted by the seemingly honest black-haired young man in front of him, but the result was ...... Doesn't seem to be too bad?
So he couldn't pursue it, he could only sigh in his heart: the repeater who needed his own protection back then can now play with the legendary magician in the palm of his hand!
What's even more terrifying is ......
The red-haired youth stared deeply at the black-haired youth, and there was an indescribable meaning in his gaze.
"Chongyang ...... You will definitely be punished for women's problems in the future. ”
"Uh, why?" Chongyang was stunned.
"I can't tell, anyway, I feel like you're going to be unlucky because of a woman sooner or later. Cranred shook his head.
Obviously not a playboy, but in a sense better than a playboy...... As a student and grandson, he has a very terrifying potential.
If you can have more of this potential...... Ahem!How can you think that!Hmm...... It's better to think about how to treat Charlotte well in the future, for her and herself, the happiness of the rest of her life......
The red-haired young man thought and faded away.
Chongyang watched his back disappear, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a complex meaning in the smile.
It was he who used the pupil technique to make Cranred speak his deep heart in front of his grandmother.
As for the outcome, it was up to Grandmother to choose, if Grandmother really wanted to kill Cranred, he would not stop it, but would try to save Cranred's life later, after all, he also had a promise.
But now it looks like the results are good...... Even, the two have the possibility of reconciliation?
Grandfather...... Will Blaze Sun @ Bright be angry about this?
"Probably not, as long as it is a choice from my grandmother's heart, my grandfather should not be angry, because my grandfather really loves my grandmother deeply......"
Chongyang thinks so.
The grievances of his ancestors, he can only do this. Next, it's his own business......
Helen...... I'm really sorry. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come and your support, which is my biggest motivation. )
