"So...... Pachel ended up living another ten years. In Carmelo's bedroom, Carmelo and Theresa sat across from each other, and Carmelo asked Teresa about her family over tea.

"Yes, Grandpa had a smooth ten years in the village of Crane. Theresa nodded.

"Well," Carmelo sighed, "Pachel and I have a good relationship, and for a man like him, a stable life is too vicious." I thought he would die in Serran, but luckily he did, but in the end he didn't escape the Segou Empire. ”

"Mr. Carmello, how old are you?" Theresa heard that Carmelo was acquainted with her grandfather and couldn't help but ask Carmelo how old he was.

Carmelo smiled and said, "I'm in my early 200s this year. I met your grandfather a few decades ago, when Gaiuz had just succeeded me, and I ventured out from the Oude Empire to the Segou Empire. In Serland, I befriended your grandfather, with whom he used to drink and talk. Later, your grandfather introduced me to Gai Azi. Gaiuz was a good monarch in governing the country, but he hated war and became somewhat pathological in his quest for peace. He did avoid a lot of wars, but it also led to his defeat ten years ago. ”

"So...... How did my mother know you? Theresa asked after a moment's pause.

Carmelo laughed and said, "That's an interesting story." At that time, your mother was still fond of women. ”

Theresa was shocked: "What? ”

Carmelo was satisfied with Theresa's reaction, and smiled happily and said: "More than twenty years ago, for a mission, I disguised myself as a maid and sneaked into Clinton's house, Costana's close friend, the eldest lady of the Clinton family, Marlene, fell in love with me at a glance, and then asked me to go upstairs to talk to her, and Costana was also there. And just like that, we got to know each other. At that time, I kidnapped the two of them in order to escape from the Clinton family. What happened next...... It's hard to put into words. Eventually, Marlene and I got married, and we had a child, and my mother's last name was Malan Clinton, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. Kostana later joined the army, and I don't know what happened after that. I didn't expect her to end up with Char's young man. ”

"It's a ...... A story that's too complex to tell. Theresa struggled and said that there were too many old things involved, many of which were related to her mother, and she needed to digest them.

Carmelo nodded and said, "Indeed, life is so complicated. Since you are the daughter of Kostana, the granddaughter of Pachel, and the only descendant of the Schofield family, I am now like your father, and it is my duty to take care of you, whether it is because of your grandfather's friendship with me, or because of your mother's relationship with me. ”

"No, Mr. Carmello," Theresa shook her head, "you don't have to worry about me, I still have Big Brother Snowland." ”

Carmelo was slightly stunned: "Snowland...... That's right, he's a reliable young man, and although he's still a little immature, he's sure to be a man of the hour on holidays, but it's just ......"

Seeing that Carmelo was about to stop talking, Theresa couldn't help asking: "Just what?" ”

"It's just that I'm afraid there will be no shortage of other women in his life. I know what you think, Theresa, but just like Leslie now, how many more girls can you suppress with one Leslie, two Leslie? Some of them are smarter than you, some are prettier than you, and some of them are even smarter and prettier than you. I'm a wanderer out there, and I know too much about it, and it's useless to just make sure you can't do without Snowlan, you have to make Snowland inseparable from you. ”

Theresa nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Go ahead, take care of Leslie again, after all, you promised Snowland." Carmelo raised his hand and motioned for Theresa to take care of Leslie.

Theresa stood up, made a complicated salute, and went out to take care of Leslie, leaving Carmelo alone in the room to think about something.

An afternoon passed, and Snorlan woke up in a daze, stretched his waist, went upstairs, opened the door to Leslie's bedroom, and saw Theresa sitting there reading a book, the name of the book was "Practical Combat Techniques for Elementary Magic", Snorlan smiled and said to Theresa, "Okay, Theresa, rest for a while, I'm coming." ”

Theresa stood up, smiled, and said, "Brother Snowlan, how are you resting?" ”

Snorlan nodded: "It's not bad, I slept all afternoon, and I'm quite energetic." ”

At this moment, Carmelo's bedroom door opened, and Carmelo poked his head out and beckoned to Snowland: "Snowland, you come over first." ”

When Snolan saw Carmelo calling him, he said to Theresa, "You wait here for a while, and I'll come over after the teacher looks for me." ”

Theresa nodded obediently.

Snorlan entered Carmelo's bedroom, and what caught Snowlan's eye was two chairs placed opposite each other, Carmelo sat down first, and motioned for Snorlan to sit down as well—Snorlan was sitting on the same one that Theresa had just sat on.

"Teacher, what's the matter?" After sitting down, Snorlan asked.

"Snorlan, you've been here for a long time, and I just want to know about your family today. Snowland, where are you from? ”

"Teacher, I was born in a small remote village called Ers."

Carmelo nodded, and then asked, "What about parents and relatives?" ”

"It's gone."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

After a brief silence, Carmelo asked, "How did you meet Theresa?" ”

"Well, that's a bit of a long story." Snorlan said.

"Let's hear it." Carmelo asked Snorlan to speak up.

Snorlan nodded, and told the story for twenty or thirty minutes, how he met Arturius, and how he got to the village of Crane, and so and so and so and so and so and so

After listening to this, Carmelo nodded: "Well, okay." Speaking of which, Lieutenant General Kostana of the Segou Empire is Theresa's mother, you know, right? ”

Snorlan scratched his face and nodded, "Yes, I've heard Trissa say it before." ”

"Well," continued Carmelo, leaning back in his chair and holding his hands, "Speaking of which, Kostana has an old relationship with me, and you're afraid you'll see her for real in the future." ”

Snorlan smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll get justice for Theresa." ”

Carmelo leaned back in his chair and nodded, "Well, I don't know what you think of Theresa?" Carmelo wanted to pluck Snolan, but also to probe his tone, after all, Theresa's relationship with him was like half a daughter, and he had the obligation to care about the person who Teresa liked to entrust her life.
