Chapter 137: Call
"Can't!" Theresa hugged Snorlan and snorted coldly.
"Theresa!" At this time, a person came out of the bedroom of the eldest brother in the lead, it was none other than Carmelo, "It's better to answer her phone and explain things clearly." β
"Mr. Carmelo ...... All right. Give me the communication crystal. Theresa heard Carmelo say this, and said to Maran.
Malan nodded, handed the communication crystal and receiver to Farina, and Farina handed the device to Theresa, who was silent for a long time and said tentatively: "Hey? β
"Yes...... Theresa? β
"It's me, you must be Lieutenant General Kostana." Theresa said with a smile.
At the other end of the communication crystal, Kostana's heart couldn't help sinking, her lips trembled a little, she took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I'm Kostana, and it's yours...... Mother. β
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Costana," interrupted Theresa, "according to Segou's law, our mother-daughter relationship has been dissolved by my father since I was two years old. β
"I'm sorry Char, and I'm sorry for you, Theresa. Please give me a moment and I'll explain it all to you. Costana said calmly.
"Then I'm afraid I'm sorry for you, Lieutenant General Kostana, you have time, but no amount of time wasted will achieve your purpose - that is, I recognize you as my mother again, you should know that broken is broken, and what is past is past, why not let this old thing drift away in the wind? You are a lieutenant general of the Segou Empire, and I am just a commoner, and our world will not have anything to do with each other. β
"A broken sword can be reforged," Kostana paused and continued firmly, "you don't need to agree, Theresa, I'll do what I have to do, and it's your business to accept it or not." But...... I also want you to know that at the end of the day I love you. β
"Yes, you love me so much, you love me to the point of throwing me off the wall, and of course, you love my father even more, to the point of killing him." Theresa said with a sarcastic smile.
"Alright, Theresa, it's not pretty to laugh like that." Snorlan smiled and smoothed Theresa's somewhat distorted face, and Theresa smiled shyly, "Look, that's much better." Give me the communication crystal, and I'll talk to Lieutenant General Kostana. β
Theresa nodded, handing the communication crystal and receiver to Snowland. Snorlan cleared his throat and said to the Communication Crystal, "Hello, Lieutenant General Costana, I am Snorlan, Arturius's subordinate, Carmelo's disciple, and Theresa's current guardian. β
On the other side of the communication crystal, Kostana heard Snorlan's voice, and recalled Arturius and Maran's opinion of Snorlan, and her impression of Snorlan was not bad, because Arturius said before he died that Snorlan had great potential, and Malan often said that Snorlan was a figure to be reckoned with, and the most important thing was that, according to Maran, he took good care of Theresa.
"I've heard of you, Snorlan. I am very grateful to Malan that you have taken good care of Theresa, but I would like you to bring her to me, and I will introduce you to work in the army, so that your future will be very good, and Theresa's life will be secured. β
"I appreciate your kindness, Lieutenant General Costana, but these are things that Theresa decides, and her attitude is obvious. Actually, I want to say a few words to you, I don't know if it's okay. β
"Say it."
"For ten years, it has been Brother Arturius who has been raising Theresa, and in the past ten years, I'm afraid you haven't played a good role, to put it mildly, if you really want to bring Theresa back to you, in ten years you have time, you have opportunities, but you still haven't taken any action, which can't help but make me doubt your thoughts."
"You know what! In the past ten years, the situation has been tense and the border has been chaotic, how can I have the leisure to take care of my personal children's personal affairs! Costana roared.
"With all due respect, this roar of yours seems to me more like a pale and feeble excuse of a man whose heart has been broken! Words have no power, action is meaningful! You claim to get Theresa back to you, but you don't do anything! β
Kostana was momentarily choked by Snowland's words, and Snowland continued, "Theresa and I are about to leave Port Ward, don't ask me where we're going, if you really care, you won't find out." Hopefully, after we're gone, you'll still be as passionate about getting Theresa back as you are todayβI'm not optimistic, of course. β
"Wait and see, the power of a mother looking for her daughter, you will witness." Costana said with her anger suppressed.
Carmelo sighed, he didn't want his old friend to find himself in such an awkward situation, Costana had never been a man of words.
"I'll say a word to Kostana, Snolan, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Carmelo said to Snorlan.
Snorlan handed the communication crystal and receiver to Carmelo, and after Carmelo put it on, he sighed, and suddenly, the other end of the communication crystal fell silent, and spit out a sentence for a while: "Yes...... Is that you, Carmero? β
"It's me, Kostana, long time no see."
"Your sigh and voice haven't changed, Carmelo, but I'm getting older."
"Don't be so pessimistic," Carmelo smiled, "you have more than a hundred years to live." β
"But I'm not young anymore, Carmelo, and you're still young and vibrant."
"Maybe. Costana, Snorlan is a reliable lad, Theresa is by his side, I am relieved, and I hope you can be relieved too. β
Costana let out a long sigh: "It's hard, after all, she's my daughter." β
"I know, but don't worry, I'll teach Snorlan and Nina teach Theresa, and the two of them still have the power to protect themselves at least in this world."
"Nina? That elf new love of yours? β
"She's just a good friend of mine."
"Yes, just a good friend, that's what you told me about Marlene at the time. Carmelo, I know you too well, your heart really hasn't changed at all! Alright, Theresa will let her stay with Snorlan for now, Carmelo, and I hope you can protect them! Kostana almost yelled and hung up the communication crystal.
Kostana turned her head to look out of the tent and shouted, "Herald! β
Immediately outside the door, a soldier ran in and gave a military salute.
"Pass my order, the headquarters urgently assemble!"
"Yes!"
