"You all calm down, stop arguing." Asker couldn't laugh or cry.

In all fairness, he felt that this war was probably provoked by Peggy first, because Nora obviously didn't say anything excessive, and the blood girl began to yell and scream, shouting and killing fiercely, which was too immature.

However, Asker was the captain of the team after all, and on the one hand, he would never openly pull the strings, and on the other hand, he also had a vague premonition that Nora seemed to have the intention of angering Peggy.

I don't know how to provoke it, but maybe they're using their psychic abilities to tear each other apart?

He sighed faintly and pretended to be silent, so the two girls fell silent as well, looking at him with a slightly worried expression.

"Or you keep arguing." Aske said helplessly, "I remember, the team's training plan hasn't been scheduled yet. ”

He got up from his chair and gestured to leave, but Nora and Peggy hurriedly held him left and right—pulling his arm to prevent him from leaving.

Are you kidding! Everyone has worked hard to level up, just planning to come over and brush up on a wave of goodwill after being promoted, but you guys are going to slip away to find other girls? That's absolutely not going to work!

So the two tacitly looked at each other, and immediately reached a tacit agreement to "put aside the dispute and develop together", and then began to chirp and chatted with Asker.

————————

Palermo, Normandy court, small courtyard.

Sidlifa sat there in silence, flipping over and over at his axe.

Robert sat across from her, intending to talk to his daughter for a while...... Although only answers like "um", "ah", "oh" can only be obtained from her.

After so many days, the answer is obvious, if Sally's question is not explained clearly, then Sidlifa will not be able to give him any good face.

So Robert smoked again, knowing that the matter could not be delayed any longer.

"The last time I saw you, you were still in your mother's belly." He said.

The effect was immediate, and Sidlifa looked up at him, her pale blue eyes narrowing slightly under her white bangs.

Looking at the face that resembled Sally and himself, Robert was slightly distracted, but quickly resumed his words:

"Sally and I lived in Normandy in West Francia, and our father, Don Cred, the Elder, was a young baron there."

"It was the most painful time of my life. You must know that in the Norman family, especially in the transcendent family, women and children have no status at all. A Northland poet even said, 'Children are the property of the father, and they can be disposed of at will'. ”

"Our father, Don Cred, the Elder, is the only transcendent in the family to reach Lv. 5. Lv.5…… Ridiculous, right? But then it was as inviolable to us as the gods were to mortals. When he gets angry, we huddle in corners and shiver, and if he doesn't please him, he can even throw us into the prison of the realm to 'confine' - a euphemism for starvation. ”

"Where did I get there? That's right...... Children are the property of their parents, I don't know how you understand this sentence, but I guess you have suffered a lot outside since you were a child. Listen, you have suffered far less than your parents, because no matter how hard you struggle to make a living, at least you still have the freedom to choose. ”

"And our lives were not our own."

"You mean he's going to kill you?" Sidlifa asked in a low voice.

"Nope." Robert shook his head and laughed a little playfully, "As I said, for the Norman Transcendent Family, children are the property of their parents, who would damage their property for no reason?" ”

"Sally is our younger sister, and we are the closest of our twenty children. This upset Don Cred, Sr., because I was his son, and he didn't like his son and daughter getting too close, and was afraid that we would fornicate with each other as adults...... As for Sally, he had already made arrangements to marry her to Baron Coquitaine in the next territory, the old man was in his fifties, widowed, and extremely ugly. ”

Of course, Sally was absolutely resistant to such an arrangement, but she had no way to directly resist the authority of Don Cred. So later, she did something really crazy. Robert said this, pausing subtly.

His sky-blue pupils looked at Sidlifa, his eyes complicated and wistful, as if to say, "Look, good girl, that's how you came."

Sidlifa was silent again for a long time, and said:

"So what?"

"As her belly grew bigger day by day, it finally couldn't be hidden." Robert threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the heel of his boot," said Old Don Cred, furious. We've never seen him get so angry, and everyone was beaten so badly by him. ”

"Except for Sally, who has the blood of the Outville family in her belly after all. But Old Don Creder used all means, without harming her body, to torture her frantically in a different way, forcing her to tell her who the father of the child was. ”

"Mother...... Didn't say your name, did you? Sidlifa asked in a low voice.

"If she had said it at the time, I wouldn't have lived to be where I am now." Robert let out a long breath, "She's a strong woman. In contrast, I was just a cowardly waste, and I didn't dare to say a word at all. ”

"Until Sally, who has a big belly, is thrown into a cart by him and sold to a passing merchant, I ...... I didn't have the guts to do anything, even if it was just to leave home to find her after that. And at the last moment when she was taken away, she only looked at me with desperate eyes...... Since then, we've been completely cut off. ”

"Old Don Cred, that man, where is he now?" Sidlifa stood up abruptly, her eyes full of murderous aura.

"Dead." Robert smiled faintly, "Do you think that after I become a transcendent, I will keep him in this world?" And my brothers and sisters, everyone wished he was going to die. ”

"So Sidlifa, that's how the whole thing goes. I am not trying to justify anything, because in the Norman world, words are cheap and useless, and only power can decide everything. ”

"If I had enough strength at that time, I would never have let Sally be sent away miserably. A man without strength is doomed to cowardice, and no one will understand whatever he does until he is capable of holding his weapon. ”

"I'm not going to ask for your forgiveness. If you still hate me because of Sally, then you remember, daughter...... Father, this life of mine is always here waiting for you to take it. ”

"Anyway, Sally and I are both sinners who have done bad things, and we are destined not to go to heaven after death. When you have enough power, you can just come and kill me. Then I will go and meet her again in Hellfire. ”

Sidlifa stood there in silence, not saying anything. After a while, she nodded slightly to her father, then turned and went back into the house.
