Chapter 14: The Promise
Said to dry Chongyang and Luo Bei Yali's abnormal behavior. There was a lot of noise in the venue, but ... What kind of eyes and words the VIPs cast and what words they talk about are irrelevant to the current Chongyang.
After quietly staring at the old man opposite for a while. He silently turned, pushed the guards away, and made his way through the crowd. Walk towards the rest area.
After glancing at her father, Roseali also turned and followed. On the other side, Clarence, who parted ways with Audrey, followed.
"So that's it, grandmother her,"
In the rest room, Chongyang calmly listened to the rest of Clarence's account and nodded.
"If you'd like to meet her, I can make some arrangements, but there's no guarantee of when. Clarence smiled.
"If this arrangement isn't too troublesome for you, Clarence, then please. Chongyang bowed slightly. My grandmother is still alive, and as a grandchild, I naturally want to see each other if I can.
My father never talked much about my grandmother's departure, thinking it was because he was confused. After all, my father didn't know his background. I don't know the real reason why my mother wants to leave home to practice.
The fact that he did not tell his son a secret, but said it to an outsider like Clarence, on the one hand, shows that some of the grandmother's mentality may have changed, and on the other hand, it shows that Clarence is highly trusted by his grandmother.
In fact, Clarence's performance also proved that he was worthy of this trust, just because of Chongyang's grandmother's instructions for the first time he met Chongyang. And without hesitation, he stepped forward and stood on the side of Chongyang to contain Duke Audrey, and even against Colonel Fana.
Clarence's help, Chongyang saw it in his eyes, knew it in his heart, and did not doubt the truth of the other party's words. Because there is no need for the other party to lie to himself, who is just starting out.
The two talked a few more words, and then Clarence found a reason to leave, leaving only Rosali and Chongyang in the room.
"Your Highness Princess, thank you for stopping me just now. Chongyang faced Rose Ali and said sincerely. At the same time, because I remembered the pro-** scene. The face couldn't help but heat up a little.
"Hmph, it's just that he knows the identity of his illegitimate grandson, and he becomes so impulsive, it's really a gaffe. The Imperial Princess sat down in the soft chair on the other side, turned her head away, and looked out the window with her cheeks propped up. Cold channel.
Heavy Resist smiled wryly.
It's a pity that he didn't use his mutated right eye to look at Roseali's current expression, which was completely inconsistent with her cold and prickly words, and his face was full of delicate blush.
What did I think at the time? How did I stop his impulse in that way!?
After successfully calming down the man, the woman is entangled in her own extraordinary behavior, with anger, doubt, resentment, shyness,
kissing a man in public for a long time, as a princess of the empire, she was embarrassed in front of her!
The more she struggled, the more she wondered why she hadn't jumped up and beaten the black-haired young man, and "though she was angry, she didn't seem to have much regret."
Depressed and puzzled, she was flustered, so that she could not face Chongyang's face calmly at this time, so she could only turn her head away and try to maintain her remaining majesty in a normal tone.
Chongyang didn't think too much about that **, or an inexplicable emotion in his heart automatically stopped him from delving into it, and now other things that need to be thought about are more important.
That impulsiveness is indeed a gaffe, and even if you really do something desperately, it can only make the situation worse.
But Chongyang's mood at that time was not as angry as the princess thought was because she was angry at learning the identity of her illegitimate grandson. Thinking about it calmly, he found that his relationship was very complicated at that time, there was the shock of the collapse of the old man's original impression, the resistance of disbelief, the anger of being blinded, and the excitement of begging for an explanation.
The moment he realized the truth, the different emotions born from different angles twisted into a dead knot, which hit his mind hard, making his brain unable to process it for a while, unable to make a stable response, which led to loss of control.
Now after calming down, calm down, Chongyang carefully combed through, and his cognition of the state of affairs gradually became clear.
Being blinded by himself is just a loss of control, in retrospect, in fact, he had a chance to know the truth once before, that is, before going to Phoenix Mountain to practice, when he faced President Arast in the Magic Association.
After Cranred left first, President Arast asked him if he wanted to know why the head of the house had given him special attention, but he politely declined.
What would have happened if he hadn't refused at that time, and had learned something from the president of the Magic Association? Chongyang couldn't think clearly, and he wouldn't make such a pointless remorse.
Being deceived is not the main contradiction, the original image of the dean is constructed by himself in his heart, and it is also his own conceptual problem to be shattered by the impact of the truth in vain. So. The consternation or anger that arose from this could not all be attributed to the old man.
So how to reposition with Cranred. After thinking about it, Chongyang can only admit from the fact that Cranred is his grandfather by blood, but in reality, he is just a student and the dean.
Throughout his life, Cranreid took care of him, but he always maintained an invisible limit, and did not overstep the relationship between the student and the dean. Instead of telling the truth and recognizing each other, the old man said that he was very cautious in his interactions.
Since that autumn many years ago, the old man has been cared for more or less, overtly or secretly, and on the surface cold and severe. In fact, it is careful and painstaking. Caring without crossing the line is to maintain the self-esteem of the grandson who cannot be recognized, so that the grandson does not feel too uncomfortable on the day he knows the truth.
What kind of mood is this? Thinking of the depths, Chongyang couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sourness, the old figure who was always tending to herbs in the field in front of his academy room, intentionally or unintentionally, became more and more profound.
He repeated the grade for six years, and the old man accompanied him for six years. He was a sensation, and the old man stepped down as a result. He broke into a big disaster, and the old man came out as soon as possible. He was still weak, but the old man did not hesitate to put down heavy bets in order to guarantee him......
I remember that meeting at the Magic Society. The sentence that was given afterwards turned out to have a far deeper meaning than what I felt at the beginning.
"Destiny is up to you, dignity is not a handout from others. β
Thinking of the truth of the matter, this sentence inevitably reflects a deeper meaning, penetrating the soul and going deep into the bone marrow. This is the education of the elderly, and it is also the heartfelt confession of the elderly.
Chongyang wanted to understand this, and as a person, his negative feelings towards Cranred disappeared
Scatter.
But the main contradiction remains, what Cranred once did, indirectly killed the sun. Brett. Undoubtedly, he formed a hatred with the Bright family.
Thinking of his father's expression and words when he remembered his grandfather, Chongyang couldn't help but have a flame in his heart.
He is a time-traveler, and when he first came to these worlds, he felt strange, unreal, and instinctively repulsed by his surroundings, which made him look at everything around him with the eyes that were always like looking at a dream.
It is a state of indifference that is difficult to describe in words, and if you say it hard, it is as if there is an invisible barrier between the whole world and yourself, forming an insurmountable boundary.
In this case, it was the family members of this life who used family affection and love to pull him out of self-isolation. It seems that before I know it, the past life I have experienced has become a dream. And now the world is becoming real.
He finally fully accepted his identity in this life. Naturally, everything from the past life is blurred. Until now, he only knows that his name is Chongyang. Bright, who had forgotten the name of his previous life, would never remember it again.
In the name of Bright, he loves his family, and he accepts everything about this family, glory. Pride, will...... Including hatred.
Chongyang believes that if his father, who doesn't know the truth, knows the secret of Lieyang's grandfather's death, he will definitely treat Cranred as much as his grandmother. Alpha's wrath and will never admit Alpha's bloodline.
The scorching sun. Bright, Incralandreid. Alpha's persecution to death, this contradiction, this family feud. is the real source of anger.
After a long period of contemplation, Chongyang's eyes became clear, and he had already made some kind of decision in his heart.
Roseali was silent with him for a long time, and her mood adjusted, her blush faded, and she faced him again with her usual demeanor.
"It's almost over, so if you still want to talk to someone, you'd better hurry. β
Chongyang nodded, got up and walked out of the room steadily.
In the venue, most of the guests have dispersed. Only a few scattered people are still talking. Only an old figure stood quietly in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.
The reappearance of the black-haired youth attracted people's attention, and when Chongyang walked straight towards the principal of Presland, it aroused people's curiosity.
"Dean" walked not far behind the old man, Chongyang stopped and said calmly.
Cranred didn't turn around.
"I think Clarence has talked to you about it, too. Although it may be a lot of questions, I'm going to ask you in person, "Clarence, what did he say." Is it all true?"
Cranred's shoulders shrugged slightly.
"It's true, kid. β
The tone was flat, without the slightest fluctuation.
Chongyang slowly clenched his fists.
"In this way, the dean has been kind to me personally. but they have an enmity against my family. β
"Grandmother is still alive" As a grandchild, I may not be involved in the grudge of my grandparents, but as a student who has received your favor for many years, I can't just sit idly by. β
"Out of the dean's kindness to me, I want to stop my grandmother from fighting the dean. And on the other hand. It's up to me to hit you, the dean, as revenge for the family. β
This is the conclusion that Chongyang finally came to after thinking about it for a long time. Grace and hatred, if both are indelible, then face the two together!
Hearing this, Cranred finally turned around slowly. There was an indescribable hint on the old face
Hue.
"Now I don't have the strength to do both, but I'm going to do my best to fight for it, in order to "protect you, and to defeat you." Chongyang said words that sounded contradictory, and his expression was calm and resolute.
What a naΓ―ve statement. The old man, who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, stared at the young man's face, and his eyes flashed with complex colors. Should it be seriously denied, or should it be gently admonished?
Child, this is not a burden for you, your shoulders, which are just beginning to solidify, should not bear the weight of the older generation.
I thought so in my heart, but Cranred couldn't speak for a long time, and another emotion that slowly rose from the depths of his heart slowly diffused in his **.
After a long silence, the old man turned his back and left, leaving only one last word.
"I'll wait for you. β
Waiting for your shelter, waiting for your challenge. Wait, your salvation.
Chongyang looked deeply at the old man's back, this moment. Maybe it's an illusion, he seems to have forgotten that the back in front of him is a legend, and only feels that the other party is just a "lonely and fragile existence."
"Dean, please take care. β
He bowed, said sincerely, and then turned to leave.
Facing the flower window, Cranred was in a mood. I closed my eyes. A cloudy teardrop fell from the wrinkled corner of the eye.
This is the end of the palace banquet.
As the male protagonist, Chongyang has never talked to a few guests, but he has been in trouble with Duke Audrey, competed with Colonel Fana, befriended Clarence, and embraced Roseali in public.
Originally, the intention of the banquet was to socialize with the upper class. Judging from this intention, Chongyang's visit to the banquet this time was a mess, but the amazing things he did made him a mess.
Regardless of what the guests at the banquet think, Chongyang. Bright's name must have left a deep impression on them.
However, being in the center of attention, Chongyang didn't care about how much foundation this celebration banquet had laid for his future path, and his mind was full of heavy promises to the old man.
Before the grandmother, who had never met before, thought she had enough strength to seek revenge on Cranred, and bring a grudge to a tragic end. How much time do you have left? 10 years, 5 years, 3 years?
If you want to stop the unwanted results, you must improve your own strength in the fastest possible time" The power to intervene in the contradictions between the ancestors!
"We must be in time, we must do it" Chongyang sat in the carriage back to the house, clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed like fire.
