Chapter 636: Peggy's Adventure in the Land of the Dead (18)

Renaud has never liked me very much, and although he always smiles at me in front of my father, the way he looks at me when no one is around always scares me...... I asked Fairbanks why this was, and the father's most trusted assistant just laughed and shook his head, saying that everything was my delusion. www.biquge.info As I grew older, I gradually experienced Renault's mood, I think he was envious of his father always by my side and talked to me with a pleasant face, but he didn't know, I also envy him for being able to pick up a sword and fight with my father, anyone knows that his father has high hopes for him, why doesn't he understand?

Loria held Darian's notepad, the dim environment didn't stop her from reading, and she skipped through a whole bunch of nonsense about the weather and food, caught in the attention of a single word.

Rocca Thanny, the deceased princess of Stein Bled, is a domineering woman.

There were more than a dozen pages missing, and Loria couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth at the thought that maybe Rocka had torn them off.

Rocka is a very intelligent woman, she has never been exposed to magic before, one day she found a magic book in her father's study, and the next afternoon, she brandished a stick she picked up out of nowhere and fired a fireball at me, I was startled, and my freshly changed shirt was burned with a big hole...... I don't know much about magic, but I think she must have a great talent for magic, and her strength has increased day by day through the constant sneak attacks and experiments on me, and after a few months, it will be difficult for me to deal with her magic easily, and I said to her, Roka, stop attacking me, I will get hurt.

Loria made a slight expression of amazement, but she was relieved to think of Loka's magic beyond her comprehension, but unfortunately, she had not inherited her mother's knowledge of fire magic.

Darian's writing was not good, and the entries in the diary were incoherent, many of them were added after the fact, many places were crossed out in large sections, and a few pages were missing from time to time, but none of this affected Loria's full commitment.

Father was a concept, and Darien was a stranger, but from these words, she got a little idea of what kind of person he was.

I wanted to buy a glass of wine, but I didn't have any money, so on my way back from fishing, I met refugees from the south and gave them all the money...... It wasn't until I stepped out of the house that I realized how lucky I was, that misfortune and disaster never stopped, and that it befell so many people in places I had not seen before, and I began to regret that I should not have spent so much money on a holiday in Lordamere, I should have given it to the people who really needed it...... During a walk with Rocca in the evening, we heard the baby's cry and found a little one in the reeds, Rocca and I were at a loss, neither of us had experience in dealing with babies, we spent the whole night in a hurry, and at dawn, he finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

I saw that Roka's eyes were shining, she had been longing to have a child of her own, and it just so happened that the baby boy also had pink hair, and he must have been a remnant of Steinbrad...... We adopted him and named him Aaron.

Loria rubbed her fingers over the words on the notepad, as if she couldn't read them, and she went back and read them several times, until finally she could only sigh in silence, no wonder Rocca was so partial to her.

How many people know this secret? She thought of Renault, who must have known it, but he had always been nice to Aaron...... Is there a good side to that villain?

It was hard for Loria to be angry or hateful in the face of these heartfelt words, and she thought that although she could no longer touch her parents, Aaron was more pitiful than her.

She then flipped through the notebook, and after a large amount of triviality and blankness, scribbled handwriting suddenly appeared.

My daughter, my Loria, the gift of the Light! I suddenly hated my own incompetence and let her be born in war and death, but I will protect her...... When the war is over, my little princess will receive the best education and grow up in the love of her parents, and she will inherit my title as the most beautiful and benevolent lord of Lordaeron.

…… They just came up and told me, 'How is it possible that my father is dead?' It was the invincible Ember Messenger, that was my beloved father...... Loria took my finger and she was comforting me and telling me not to be sad...... She is my hope.

The paper was crumpled, and Loria didn't want to think about it, so she quickly turned the next page.

I found Renaud, he looked gloomy, his whole person seemed to be broken, his father's death had a great impact on him, although they had many conflicts, but after all, he was my father's son, my brother...... He decided to take the rest of the people to the west, we entrusted Aaron to him, I wanted Roka to go with them, but she didn't want to, she was still grieving for the death of Terenus, for her, it was a fatherly existence, and she even wanted to avenge the death of His Majesty......

Uncle Tirio came to me, and he and a group of paladins of the former Silver Hand planned to break away from the increasingly insane Scarlet Crusade and form a new organization...... He invited me to join Silver Dawn, and after thinking about it all night, I agreed, and in order to protect Loria, and to protect more children like her, I decided to go to the front line to fight the undead myself.

I'm an idiot. I thought I was there a reliable rear...... Rocka ......

Loria can't stay here anymore, death will befall everyone sooner or later, I'd rather she grow up like an orphan than let the filthy undead touch her, as long as I can protect her, I'd rather die under the claws of the undead.

Renault no longer replied, he must have met with an accident, there were undead everywhere, there was no safe place in the north, I was worried about Aaron's fate, and I was glad to have entrusted the most trusted person to send her to the south.

I saw the familiar figure, he was wandering among the dead bodies, a big hole in his chest, I chopped him to pieces, he failed me, my Loria......

What else do I have to lose?

The last sentence was barely legible, written on a crumpled page of paper that was about to be torn off, after which there was no more writing.

"He didn't fail you."

Loria bit her lip and forced herself to look through the letters, they almost confirmed how Darien had fallen into despair, one letter after another announcing the death of his friends and family, why did he keep these letters, just not to forget the dead?

It suddenly occurred to her that when the Scourge came to take revenge, when he sacrificed himself to repel the undead, was it to protect himself who was sleeping in the wounded barracks of the Alliance?
