Chapter Seventy-Six: The Breeze Blows
Serres stood in the middle of several guards, even if he was pointed by the blade, his expression did not change much, as if he was used to life and death, and the black eyes under his gray temples still looked directly at Loren Hill.
"Serres, do you have anything to say?" The head maid, Chelsea, walked in through the door again, looked at the colleague she had worked with for nearly 10 years, and asked.
"I don't have much to say, and the explanation is just a cover-up. Besides, I do have a place where I can't live with Lord Angus. ”
"Your contribution to the Karitas Chamber of Commerce is no less than mine, and you have done your best to help the Chamber through many difficult times over the years. If there is something unspeakable, after explaining it to Miss Lacey, it may not be impossible to forgive and forgive your mistakes. ”
Chelsea stood aside and advised that although Seres was wrong, his merits could not be erased, as long as it was not a mistake of principle, it may not be unforgivable.
Serres remained silent, unmoved.
Lorain Hill looked at Serres, who was as cold as a stone, and sighed silently in his heart, why didn't he open his mouth to explain, so that he couldn't give the other party the stairs, in fact, this Mr. butler was really impeccable in other aspects except for Angus's loss in the matter of Lady Mela.
She lifted her sleeves and told the guards to step back, then asked Chelsea to bring the tea.
There were only three people left in the quiet room, and people could be seen walking by in the courtyard outside the window, some of them were chamber of commerce calculators, some were maids engaged in chores, and occasionally one or two children were running.
The sunlight shone obliquely into the room, not strong, and Lorain Hill sat in the light, her long red dress shining.
"Can Uncle Serres tell me where that kid came from?"
"Whether he is Angus blood or not, I will keep my promise to protect him until I reach adulthood, and I will not harm him in the future."
Serres looked at Lorain Hill's clear eyes, and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"That child, indeed, was not born to Lord Angus."
"Not even Lady Mela's child."
"He was born to a comrade-in-arms of mine and a young lady of the Helis family, because of the huge gap between their identities, the two could not be together, and under the depression, he suffered a dark attack in his early years and died young."
"At that time, the Helis family was fighting fiercely with our Karitas over the issue of the spice trade, and I was also commissioned by Angus to investigate Lady Mela when I learned that my comrade-in-arms had died, and his child was used by the Helis family to disturb Karetes, if Angus died in an accident, the identity of this child was exposed, and he would get the inheritance right, thus splitting the Chamber of Commerce."
"Lady Mera is simple and kind, but she is also timid, and if she is questioned harshly, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be able to bear the pressure. So the Helis family approached me and promised to be kind to the child and his mother, as long as I turned a blind eye and did not expose the matter. In this way, the children of comrades-in-arms can also be saved. ”
"I didn't say yes to them right away, but after a while the Helis family reconciled with Karitas, and the two sides exchanged benefits, and the child became less important. If it is exposed again, it will break the reconciliation that was not easily reached, and at the same time, the descendants of the comrades-in-arms may not survive. ”
"So I kept silent with the Helis family, and as if it hadn't happened, I wouldn't contact each other again."
"Until yesterday, the guards of the Helis family assassinated the eldest lady, because our chamber of commerce is very powerful at the moment, and they were eager to know what Miss Lacey thought of the Helis family, so they contacted me again."
"That's the way it is, and I'm willing to accept any punishment, I just hope Miss Lacey won't be angry with that child."
Although by scanning the information of the whole city, Lorain Hill has obtained a lot of information, knowing that Seres and the Helis family have intersected and have some fragments of the truth, but after all, it is the original past more than 10 years ago, and she is not very clear about some places.
Until now, everything was cheerful, Lorain Hill lowered his head and stirred the teacup, feeling a little sorry for Angus in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would have no descendants, this man who had ups and downs in his life, and finally died silently in the wilderness and mountains.
"I see, I promise you. The kid won't be held accountable, after all, he's innocent. ”
"But because of your soft-heartedness, you deceived Angus, and because of this, he neglected not to marry again, and now the family of Karitas is the last one."
When the girl said this, Serres finally lowered her head in guilt and did not raise it again.
"After a while, you will claim to be old and old, and you will quit your job as a housekeeper and go to a certain place in the Southern Islands to retire."
"Obey the punishment of the eldest lady, and I will take over all the affairs well." Serres's voice seemed to age a lot.
"And I'll visit the Helis family tonight, and you'll be a coachman again."
"Yes, Miss Lacey." Seres responded resolutely.
Looking at the back of Seres leaving the study, Lorain Hill put down the teacup, and then slowly walked to the windowsill, looking at the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce, where people came and went, and there was a prosperous appearance.
There's no way she's going to stay here forever, and who's going to lead Karites?
Slowly diverging my thoughts, I watched the colorful leaves swaying in the sea breeze, and the bright leaves were like scales in the sun, reflecting the sunlight.
The girl stretched out her fingers and felt the touch of the wind shuttling between them, and occasionally the wind ruffled her hair and floated in the wind.
Lorraine Hill, Lorraine Hill, don't think too much of yourself. Is it possible that without you, others will not be able to live, whether it is the Chamber of Commerce or life, they will spontaneously look for their own sunshine, they will have their own ideas and choices, and they will also walk out of their own life.
She leaned against the windowsill and hummed a memorable tune, her fingers tapping gently to the beat on the windowsill.
[That little bird, can't spread its wings and soar yet]
[But one day it will ride the wind]
...
[Kids, walking on the summer rails]
[Blowing breeze, caressing bare feet]
[Childhood bits and pieces]
[Fades away]
[Dream to be realized]
[In their own hands]
[We keep seeking]
[Dissipated Season Clouds]
[from the time I climbed the hillside]
[Always]
[unchanged]
[As we have always been steadfast]
[I will be able to protect it by all means]
[Strength like the god of the sea]
