Golden shrine

"His Royal Highness John, His Highness Helena, good morning."

"Father, Mother, you are early~"

Ilt and Tia politely greeted the two kings, Helena was not able to participate in Alan's knightly promotion ceremony, which made her always feel a little pity, but when she saw Alan in front of her in a knight's costume and a heroic eyebrow, she felt that it was nothing to miss a ceremony, after all, such a good young man was standing in front of her at this moment, and she would fight for her daughter and her country in the future.

"Well, why did you come to greet you so early today?"

Helena asked kindly.

"Your Highness, Tia and I have come today because we have something to discuss with His Highness John and you."

Alan said respectfully.

"You came to me so formally to discuss things, this matter can't be related to Tia, right?"

King John stroked his golden beard, and his wise eyes seemed to see through Alan's intention at once.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, I came here this time in the hope that the king will allow me to take Princess Tia out to practice."

Alan was no longer ambiguous and decided to specify his intentions. King John looked at His Highness Allen, and did not speak for a long time, but Helena on the side said,

"The king promised you, if Tia can leave the royal city with you, leaving the royal capital, it will also be a chance for her to live again, but the outside world is not as good as the royal city, full of hardships and difficulties, food, clothing, housing and transportation have to rely on yourself, you are still so young, in fact, you can practice in the royal capital for a few more years, accumulate a little more experience, and the knights will also issue gold coins every month, which is much easier than making money outside."

As a mother. Helena was selfishly reluctant to let Tia leave her. But she also knows. Staying here continues to be very dangerous for Tia, and even for the whole of Atynia, the invasion of the demons will come at some point, but for a while, it is difficult for her to say that she supports their departure. Allen, of course, understands Helena's mind, just. The power of the demons in his body, Tia's unpredictable sense of danger in the royal capital, and Ilth's life-threatening curse, all of these urged him not to stay for a moment, even if he went out to practice, it was much stronger than waiting in this greenhouse.

"Your Highness, my father and I have been practicing outside, and we have to earn our own living expenses, which my father taught me since I was a child. Won't help me at all, he said it's the first step in a knight's practice. If you can't even support yourself, then you can simply give up. So you don't have to worry about the problems of life, I will definitely help Tia so that she can become independent, of course, I will not be as strict as my father, but, I hope you can rest assured that Tia is completely able to take care of herself, and now she is no longer the little girl who left the royal city for the first time, she is my indispensable companion and a powerful mage who can save me from danger. ”

Helena listened to Alan's words and nodded, in fact, she knew that no matter how reluctant she was, leaving was the most correct choice for these children, and now it was only John's approval, and the three of them all looked at King John, who was looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Alan, I also heard you mention your father before, you said that he did things in the royal city, and now seeing your persistent appearance, I have to think of an old friend from before, but to be honest, this old friend of mine has never found a wife, if you are really his son, I will be impressed by him."

King John asked the maid to bring them two chairs, and when he saw them seated, he continued,

"Leave aside, Alan, tell me about your father, they all say that if there is a father, there must be a son, if your father is an upright and excellent person, then the investigation of you can be over, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, Your Highness."

Alan knew King John's intentions, let the princess leave the royal city, this is no better than her secretly escaping alone, this matter must be explained to the entire king, and now, it seems to be gossip, but in fact, King John must be brewing, maybe to promote himself to another level, or maybe to give his father a noble title, in short, the king's intentions, Alan experienced, and was very moved.

"My father's name is Chester. Thiago, a retired knight, met my mother in a small village called Mupa in Dax, my mother is a very ordinary woman, but she is the most gentle person in the world, my father helped her in her most difficult time, so my mother decided to follow my father, but she died a year ago, and my father has now lost contact with me, if I leave the royal capital, I also hope to find him. ”

Every time Alan mentions his mother, his eyes will lose their former brilliance, and they will be extremely dim, and he will not be able to suppress his longing for his mother. Tia held Alan's hand, her parents were both complete, and she couldn't experience that kind of pain, but the feelings in the world, only family affection is the most difficult to cut off, and she can't empathize, but she can experience it with her heart, two people who love each other, the heart can be shared, and what she can do at this moment is to accompany her quietly on the side.

"Chester, sure enough, it's him. You turned out to be a Chester kid. Alan, I'm sorry for your mother's troubles, and your mother will be able to go to the Pure Land of Bliss under God's guidance. ”

King John clasped his hands together, and Helena, beside him, prayed with tears in her eyes.

"Alan, do you know your father? Do you know what position he held in the royal city? ”

King John's question really stumped Alan.

"Your Highness, my father rarely told me about him, he just taught me his principles of life, he said that a person's past is not so important, what really matters is to grasp the present and work on the future."

Alan didn't know if such an answer would be a bit perfunctory, but Chester did teach him that, and he felt that a sincere answer was the best answer.

"Hahahaha, you were really taught by Chester, and even your temper is exactly the same as his, but you are not stubborn about the past and the future, but take the present seriously, and you can say this, it seems that Chester really understands."

King John's kind face made Allen's heart instantly calm, after all, he was facing the king of a country, and Allen would still be a little worried about answering so casually.

"Alan, your father is a great knight, although he said that he doesn't care about the past, but he did create a lot of great victories in the past, as the so-called contributions are indispensable, those great achievements do exist, and they are worth remembering and remembering."
