Brando had always taken Veronica's instructions to heart, and he nodded solemnly to the latter, and then nodded to Princess Gloria beside him.

The latter looked at him, equally silently silent, she had lived in seclusion in Butch for decades, and it could be said that she had watched Roman, Freya and Brando grow up, and although they were not the parents of these three children, they had no less affection in their hearts.

And now that the children have grown up, they have their own choices about their future path.

"Brando, don't be pushy." But in the end, he couldn't help but remind: "You don't understand how important you are to the world." ”

Brando didn't answer, the answer was just to weaken his determination, he turned to look at Akane behind him, and just wanted to say something, but the latter took the initiative to speak:

"I'll be waiting for you in Tonygal, Lord Lord."

Brando couldn't help but be stunned, he probably never thought that the mountain girl who had been so dependent on him would say such a thing, he had thought that it would take a lot of effort to get the other party to stay.

It's not that he doesn't want to take Akane and the others with him, but because he really has no bottom in his heart, the black moon falls to death, and the wolf walks in the world, no matter how you look at it, it's a sign before dusk falls, and the meteorite in the sky will fall to the ground soon, who can say what will happen?

He still has an indomitable will to go, but he can't guarantee the safety of Metisa, so this time, he doesn't even plan to take the traveling mage creatures with him, and entrusts Princess Gloria to teleport them to safety.

He had already thought that he would go to the outer city alone.

Akane looked up at her lord, "Miss Roman needs your help, I don't want to be a drag on you, I will definitely fight side by side with your lord one day." ”

Brando couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, after so many events, in his eyes, the mountain girl had finally grown up. She can finally see her heart and take her destiny firmly in her own hands.

"Yes, you used to be the strongest warrior in the fir Territory, have you forgotten, Akane? I'm sure it will be like this in the future, you are the knight of the azure. No worse than anyone else, and perhaps the next time I see you, you will already live up to this legendary name. ”

Akane let out a soft 'um' sound, her eyelids lowered slightly, and her heart was full of happiness.

Brando glanced at everyone in the courtyard again, then turned and walked out of the White Rose Garden, and as he passed through the main entrance, he heard his name being called behind him.

"Lord Brando, Lord Count!"

The voice shouted from afar.

"I'm Henriette. Bradjett is my grandfather, and he was beaten all over the ground by your grandfather! You may not remember the name, but it's okay, I'm going to challenge you, you remember that you have a duel away from Henriette! ”

Conrad grabbed his friend and glared at him, "You're crazy! ”

Henriette watched Brando's back disappear into the darkness with some pity, shook his head and said, "Of course I'm not crazy, it's a pity." I want to make friends with him. ”

"And you're still challenging him?" Conrad was so shocked that he almost lost the sight of the end of heaven coming to his mind.

"Is there any contradiction between this?" Henriette replied proudly, "To challenge the Earl is to preserve the glory of my family. Win or lose, but as a descendant of my grandfather, I have to lead by example. But I admire the Earl in my heart, and I am willing to form a friendship with the Earl, which is a private matter of mine, and there is nothing wrong with it. Even if I die at the hands of the Earl, it will only prove that I am not good at my craft. ”

After a pause, the young man said as a matter of course, "Besides, did you hear what Lord Veronica said, Her Majesty the Queen has given the Most High Ring to Lord Count." Wouldn't it be a sure thing to have a good relationship with the future emperor? ”

"No," Conrad shook his head, "I think the crux of the matter is that you have to duel with His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Then I'll do it before he ascends the throne."

The question is, can this Count really ascend to the throne? So Conrad couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a while.

……

Freya felt as if she was having a strange dream.

The white full moon, the dark night sky, the shadowy black pine forest in the distance, the moonlight illuminates everything clearly, a wood-and-stone farmstead that is common in the Buchi countryside, next to the barn and the horse shed, the fields in the distance seem to be shrouded in a layer of silver, and the barley swaying slightly in the night breeze is the most common scenery in the Buchi countryside at the end of summer.

But she vaguely felt that when she had seen a similar scene, not in a dream, this fragment of memory lingered in her mind, but lingered, and she recalled it repeatedly, but could only draw some trivial conclusions.

It simply doesn't make sense.

But she knew she was dreaming.

She stood in the courtyard, with the avenue leading to the forest behind her, and the open gate of the farmhouse in front of her, a place she remembered that Roman and her aunt had lived in before they moved to the hill where Brando's old house was.

It was supposed to be behind a grove outside the village, next to a field, and the black pine forest behind it confirmed her suspicions.

But what she didn't understand was how she could return to this place in her dreams.

It seems that I only had a slight impression of this place when I was very young, except that it seemed to have been hit by a fire later, and then Roman and her aunt moved farther away from the village.

However, it is strange that most of the old people in the village have no impression of the fire, and the others are vague when they talk about it, so that it is not deliberately hiding anything, but it is really as if the memory is too old and too vague.

But people said afterwards: Martha bless, fortunately no one was hurt by this.

Freya stood in the middle of this scene with some curiosity, about Buche, about the memories of her childhood, it seemed that it was a long, long time ago, although she often recalled her aunt's family in her dreams, and recalled the tragic war.

But she didn't expect that she would be the day before the expedition. Dream back to childhood, to Roman and her aunt's first home.

The dream is still so clear.

She felt a little emotion in her heart, and she couldn't help but walk into the farmhouse, and she couldn't help but wonder what she would see. Will you see little Roman and Aunt Jenny at that time?

She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Aunt Jenny in a long time since the fall of Butcher.

Although the people of the village are not very fond of Roman and her aunt. But she has an inexplicable affection for Aunt Jenny, and it seems that the same is true for Brando, and in the village, only the three children have the best relationship with Aunt Jenny.

Unfortunately, Brando often only comes to the village in the summer, and in the winter he returns to Pragues.

She had never been to Pragues before the fall of Buchi, and had only heard of the city in the descriptions of Brando and others.

Freya herself never imagined that one day she would go to so many places. came to Tonigel, who was so far away from Buch, but the nostalgia for her hometown in her heart never stopped for a moment.

With such a peculiar thought, she walked softly into the house.

Then she froze.

The house was in shambles, with broken cabinets, toppled tables and chairs, collapsed staircases, and even a wall toppling down. All kinds of utensils were scattered all over the place.

And then there was blood, piercing blood. The moonlight flowed down the hole into the house, reflecting a qiē clearly, and the bright red blood was also quietly reflected on the walls, on the ground, and everywhere.

She saw two corpses, pale in complexion, one of which was even half torn and its internal organs scattered to the ground. The other collapsed on the bed, with a large hole in the heart of the back.

Freya shuddered, she swore she had never seen the owners of these two corpses, and had never seen anything like it, but she felt something familiar in her heart. It's as if this qiē had actually happened.

She looked around with some trepidation, and a low sobbing sound reached her ears, and the voice was full of uneasiness and panic, as if helpless and heart-wrenching.

"Roman?"

She recognized the voice at once, and subconsciously turned her head, and sure enough, she saw a small figure standing there, whining and crying quietly.

That was the Roman she remembered at that time, only seven or eight years old, but he was already vaguely there.

Freya suddenly remembered that in her memory, Roman had never cried so sadly, and the only time she had seen her cry was because the two of them had lost their way in the Black Forest.

She remembered that she had stumbled into a mountain stream, and the scar was still on her back, and it was Roman who carried her out of the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

She still remembered that after that, the two swore that they would never be weak and afraid in the future, and that they would never cry again, although it was only a child's vow, but after that Roman seemed to have really kept his promise and never cried again.

On the contrary, it was herself, from childhood to adulthood, she cried her nose at every turn, thinking of this, she couldn't help blushing slightly, when she participated in militia training, because of her unsatisfactory results, she didn't know how many times she had shed tears in private.

But Freya immediately came to her senses, she didn't quite understand what was going on with this dream in front of her, was it just a simple nightmare? Or does it indicate something?

Witches are superstitious about the power of dreams, and although Freya is not a witch, she feels awake at this moment as if she was in a dream.

She walked over, gently hugged the crying little Roman, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I ...... I killed Mom and Dad, Freya. ”

"What did you say?" Freya froze: "Where did you come from, father and mother, haven't you always lived with your aunt?" ”

"I ...... I don't know, woo woo, what should I do, dad drank and wanted to hit mom, I, I don't know what's going on, woo woo woo ......"

"Roman, wake up, it's just a dream, nothing like this has ever happened."

Little Roman didn't seem to listen, sobbing and asked, "Freya, I killed my father and mother, what should I do......"

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Freya a little nervously: "Freya, will you sue the others, they will come to kill me, right?" ”

"I ...... Roman, what are you talking about? ”

"You're going to do it, aren't you?"

"Roman, wake up, it's just a dream." Freya subconsciously pressed the other party's shoulder, trying to shake the other party awake, as if even she had forgotten about herself, she was just in a dream.

But as soon as she touched Roman's shoulders with her hands, she saw the other man raise his head, and there were no whites or pupils in those eyes, only a black void.

Roman looked at her indifferently: "Freya, you are a traitor. ”

"I-I didn't, Roman, what's wrong with you?" Freya was startled.

"You're a traitor, everyone has betrayed me, all of you are the same." Roman said coldly.

"No, Roman, how could we betray you, and Brando, he will always be there for you." Freya cautiously asked, "Roman, what's wrong with your eyes?" ”

But Roman's little face showed a look of pain: "And Brando, Brando...... Where's Brando, Brando, where are you? ”

As soon as Freya wanted to say something more, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and when she looked down, she realized that there was a dagger stuck in it.

She raised her head almost in disbelief and looked at the little girl in her arms: "Roman......?" ”

"You took Brando," Roman replied blandly, "I'm going to kill you." ”

"No ......"

Freya almost screamed, and sat up from her bed in a cold sweat, and she looked up, and there was darkness all around her, still in her room in Fort Fir.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had just had a nightmare.

"Miss Freya?"

Outside the door came the voice of Su's careful greeting.

"I'm fine," Freya replied hurriedly, "It's just a nightmare, haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep, Miss Roman went to the Empire, there are too many things left behind by the Chamber of Commerce in Ampesel, Miss Roman trusts me so much, I have to be worthy of her trust."

Hearing Roman's words, Freya's heart pounded again, she faintly felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously asked, "Is there any news from the lord's side?" ”

"No, miss, there's been no follow-up since the news of Captain Yuta's return from the Evergreen aisle." The voice outside the door paused for a moment, and then replied: "This is a normal situation, the empire has long lost control south of the Evergreen Corridor, and it is normal that the news cannot be returned, but the captain of Yuta and her fleet are walking together, and there should be no problem on the road." ”

Freya wanted to say that she was worried about Brando and Roman, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it, she silently recalled the previous dream, but suddenly, she was suddenly stunned.

"That's, that'......"

It was as if something had shattered in her mind, and countless dusty memories were liberated at once, and Freya's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but tremble and lean on the edge of the bed.

"Brando, Roman, she ......"
