Chapter 67: A Conversation Between the Girls (Part II)

Theresa nodded and said, "That's how we came here." Conritz won a great victory in the war ten years ago, and for a time the people's voice was extremely high, which caused the fear of the emperor. But Kang Ruiz is by no means a simple character, he did not wait for the emperor to make a move, directly forced the palace, forced the emperor to abdicate, and assassinated the emperor a few months later. ”

"You mean...... He killed his own father? ”

"Yes. At that time, although the former emperor abdicated, the ministers who were loyal to the former emperor were still there, and the palace guards who obeyed the orders of the former emperor were also a force to be reckoned with in Serland. ”

"Ruthless enough." Leslie pouted.

So he became emperor. After he became emperor, he wanted to purge his old ministers, and there is no doubt that my grandfather, who had followed the emperor for thirty years, had no reason not to be purged. Luckily, my grandfather was a decent man and an officer, and with the help of many friends, he was able to escape from Serland while my father was serving on the border. ”

"What did your father do?"

"Does Kostana know?" Theresa asked.

"Yes," Leslie nodded, "Segou's killer bossβ€”that's what they say." ”

Theresa smiled, "I didn't think you were talking about my mother." ”

Leslie couldn't help but look at Theresa in surprise.

"That's right, my mother is Kostana, whom you call the Killer Witch. My father, Char Arturius Schofield, was her lieutenant at the time. My mother was young, but she wasn't a young general promoted by Conritz, but she showed her head and feet a long time ago. It is said that her mother came from an ordinary aristocratic family, and since she was a child, she liked to dance and play with swords, and when she was young, she once passionately pursued a legendary ranger known as the 'Revenant', but failed, so she joined the army in a fit of rage, and made many achievements in the army. It was at that time that my father became her aide-de-camp. After my mother's failed pursuit of the legendary Ranger, my father naturally came into my mother's eyes as a replacement for the Ranger. ”

Leslie nodded.

"When my grandfather escaped from Selland, he came to the border and found my father, I was just two years old at the time, and my father wanted my mother to take care of me, so he took him away with him, but my mother did not agree and threw me to my father. She did throw it, it is said that she threw it from the city wall to her father, thanks to her mother's strength, and the throwing was accurate. ”

Leslie didn't know what to say, and Theresa continued to smile and say, "From then on, I followed my father to Crane Village. That village was on the outskirts of the Marton rainforest, and my grandfather used his means to become the head of that village, and my father became the captain of the militia. And out of revenge against the Segou Empire, the Marton Rebel Army was formed. We've had a 10-year of stability. Until one time my father went to Riptide to run errands. ”

Leslie then said, "I've heard that Riptide has been destroyed. ”

Theresa smiled and said, "Yes, according to Grandpa, it was done by cultists." But thanks to them, without them, my father and Big Brother Snowland would have died in Riptide. ”

Leslie raised an eyebrow.

"At that time, my father was arrested for villain's betrayal and sent to Riptide to be beheaded for public display, and somehow, Brother Snorlan was also in the carriage that was escorting the prisoners, and just as they were about to be beheaded, the cultists attacked Torrent Town, and my father and Brother Snorlan picked up a life in the chaos."

Leslie nodded and asked, "And then the war began?" ”

Theresa nodded as well and said, "That's right. After being rescued by his father, Snorlan lived in the village of Crane and joined the Marton Rebellion led by his father. I spent two months with Big Brother Snowland, who had been training with my father and eating at our house. Two months later, his father robbed SΓ©gou of a batch of military supplies, but he did not expect to cause trouble. One of the officers who had been to Crane Village made it back alive, and Brother Snorlan and I had to come here to save our lives. ”

Leslie hesitated and asked, "Well...... What about your father? ”

Theresa still smiled, shook her head, and said, "Probably no longer there, I know my mother's character, and her love for Segou is far greater than her love for me and my father. She won't let her father go. ”

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Both were silent for a moment.

Theresa spoke slowly: "No matter what, I am a descendant of Schofield after all, and the ancestors have an ancestral motto: Schofield's things must not be taken away by others. I think I still have to remember this ancestral precept. ”

Leslie frowned, there was something wrong with Theresa's words.

Theresa continued: "I lost my grandfather, my father, my mother would never recognize me, and I have no relatives now. But I still have Big Brother Snowlan. During this time, it has always been Brother Snolan who has been with me and taken care of me. For me, Big Brother Snorlan is my only relative.

Leslie only nodded, she probably understood what Theresa meant.

"I don't have anything else but Big Brother Snowlan. Leslie, you're older than me, and you should be smarter than me, and I'm sure you know what I mean. As a comrade-in-arms, I like you very much, but as the younger sister of Brother Snowlan, I am also very grateful to you for being with him all the way. ”

Leslie still doesn't understand what Theresa means? Snorlan took care of Leslie for three days in a row, which made Theresa, who was already insecure, feel uneasy, and she came to clarify Leslie's thoughts. What's more, Theresa has already made it clear that Leslie's identity is just a comrade-in-arms, but Theresa will accompany Snorlan for a lifetime.

"Alright, Theresa, I know what you mean. Go back, go and read the book, you have advanced to bronze, you should consolidate the realm, I know your words, when the dock brotherhood is eradicated, we should say goodbye, I will accompany my brother Kane. ”

Theresa nodded and left Leslie's bedroom.

Outside the door, Carmelo was standing against the door, facing Teresa right in the face. He looked at Theresa with a complicated expression.

Theresa couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Carmelo, what's wrong?" ”

"You...... Is it Kostana's daughter? Carmelo paused.

Theresa didn't know what to do, knowing that Carmelo had heard what she was saying, she nodded and said, "Yes, my mother is Costana." ”

Carmelo sighed and held out his right hand to Theresa, "Let's get to know you again, little girl." I'm Carmelo, known as the Wilderness Ranger, your mother's ...... First love. ”

Theresa looked at Carmelo in surprise, stunned for a while, and held Carmelo's outstretched right hand, and the two shook hands, with complicated expressions.
