"Take a breath of the air of your new home." Elizabeth walked into the living room of her new home and spun around, her white dress fluttering like a dancing white swan. She lifted her nose and sniffed it, and the smell of paint still lingered in the new home, which was not very good. She stuck out her tongue, "Okay. It's a bit disappointing, but I want to clean up and open the windows for a few days for ventilation, it should be much better. ”

After leaving the Little Pirate Town, she rushed to an island in the Greenland Empire, where there were regular high-end passenger ships and naval escorts. She rushed to the Greenland Empire on a passenger ship, which was safer than taking a pirate ship to the Greenland Empire, and it was also the plan that Donk carefully chose at the beginning.

After arriving in the motherland, she ran around, successfully rescued her father through legal procedures, and fed 50,000 gold coins to the big mouth of the imperial judiciary. The reunion of father and daughter is naturally tearful, inexhaustible sadness, and endless lovesickness.

After that, she began to settle her father, searched and searched, and chose such a small estate. The green mountains and green waters here, the scenery is pleasant, and more than a dozen houses have just been built this year, which are newly decorated, and they are suitable for retirement.

"It's been two weeks since I left that ghost place, but I still feel like I'm in a dream, everything is so unreal, as if in the blink of an eye, everything will disappear and I will go back to that cold cell." Elizabeth's father, Robert, then walked in, looking around the new home in a trance, and sighed with heartfelt emotion.

For those who have just been released from prison, a simple wooden house, as good as heaven, at least has a smell of freedom.

Elizabeth put down the two large boxes of salutes, walked up to her father with a smile, pressed her hand on his much-thinner shoulder, and said, "It's not a dream, you will get used to it slowly, but now it's just a little uncomfortable." ”

She also discovered a long time ago that after her father was released from prison, he had been very sluggish, slow to react, and even spoke stupidly, which was very different from a few years ago. She guessed that the people who had just been released from prison were in such a state of mind. She believes that time can dilute everything, and her father will definitely be able to return to his previous mental state, and now all he needs is sunshine and a new environment.

"This time in prison is the biggest setback I've ever experienced. No matter what setbacks I face in the future, I will never be afraid again. There's nothing worse than going to jail. Robert waved his hand, as if trying to chase away the nightmare memories.

"Daddy is the best." Elizabeth winked playfully, gave her father a thumbs up in encouragement, and tapped her head, "But I don't think such a peaceful little estate will cause you any more setbacks." You can spend your old age here. ”

Robert married very early, but did not have children with his previous wife, and after the death of his previous wife, he married Elizabeth's mother, and later Elizabeth. At that time, he was already in his forties, and now he has reached the age of sixties, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he spent his old age in peace. And he has been tormented in prison for several years, and he has aged even more, with a furrow-like wrinkle on his face, shaking when he walks, and his skin and bones are covered in bones, and he is afraid that he will break wherever he hits.

"Hey, the merchants who used to crisscross the world can only be in a corner of the world now." Robert sighed.

"You can also use your ambition in this manor. I found it very challenging to reclaim that land and build a cowshed. Elizabeth pointed to the window, and outside was a fertile field with a large circle of wooden fences in the distance. There's so much you can do in this big area, from keeping livestock to growing crops.

Elizabeth felt that these peasant chores were very suitable for the elderly who had just been released from prison, milking cows, and removing insects from the grass.

Robert nodded with a smile and said, "Well, in the future, our father and daughter will live happily in this manor." ”

As soon as she heard "we", the smile on Elizabeth's face froze, she couldn't accompany her father to live here, she still had her own agreement, and the pursuit of love. However, in these few days, she can't show it, and she has to cherish this hard-won reunion. She gathered her emotions and regained a relaxed smile as she turned her head.

In the following days, Elizabeth began to organize the work of the manor, trying to make it lively. She hired sweepers to clean the estate, gardeners, and planted flowers and plants in front of and behind the house. In addition, she bought a herd of chickens and a few cows, and put them in the chicken coop and cowshed, and the manor suddenly became much more noisy, but the cries were not annoying. She and her father planted crops on a small plot of land, and although she didn't know if it would be a good harvest, the whole process of planting was interesting.

Elizabeth tried to keep everything in order at the manor, and she questioned every servant for fear that one might upset her father in the future. As the parting day approached, she became more and more eager to do these things, and she slept very little every day, and whenever she had time, she stayed with her father and chatted, although some of the chats were repeated without noticing.

The father and daughter knew each other very well, and Robert found that there was a problem here, so he found Elizabeth beside him, and asked worriedly: "Elizabeth, something has been wrong with you lately, is there something on your mind?" ”

Elizabeth denied it: "No, there's nothing wrong with me. Well, maybe a little bit. But that's just because we're so happy to see each other again after a long absence. ”

"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, I think I still have some wisdom for the elderly."

"Of course, but I'm really fine." Elizabeth hid the truth and made excuses to avoid her father's questioning, and when she came out of the house, she covered her mouth, and her eyes were already covered with water.

If Elizabeth didn't leave, she might be delayed, and she would have to reach Magnolia Harbor in the month of harvest. She swore it was the hardest night of her life, and she went to her father's door, opened a crack in it, and stared at his sleeping father for a long time. The vicissitudes on her father's face made her feel worried, and she really wanted to be split into two, one to stay and take care of her father, and the other to return to her lover as promised.

But this is impossible, she has to make a choice, life is to do multiple-choice questions, choose one answer, you have to give up another answer. She had always been resolute in her work, but this time, the things on either end of the scale were too heavy for her to let go. She returned to her room and cried and wrote a farewell letter. She put the letter with a deposit slip and slipped it into the crack in the door of her father's room.

Elizabeth left the manor in tears, turning back three times in one step, and finally ruthlessly, riding away overnight. She felt that every step of the horse's hooves fell on her heart, and her heart ached. She could feel that the blood thicker than the water was fading away, and it was likely that she would never feel it again.

"Father, my daughter is not filial and can't accompany you."

She muttered, her voice drifting through the night wind.

The next morning, Robert found the farewell letter by the door, and as if he had a premonition, his withered hands trembled violently, and he opened the letter with difficulty.

To the father.

I'm really sorry to say goodbye like this. But I can't say goodbye to you in person, it would be even more sad, and you won't let me go after hearing the reason for my departure.

During your time in prison, I traveled around the seas, making money from business and accumulating these 50,000 gold coins. As fate would have it, I met a pirate who, like a prince descended from the sky, rescued me from danger. Without him, I probably wouldn't have seen you.

Just like in other stories, I fell in love with him, because women in deep danger are always easy to have a good impression of the man who rescued them, and the man at that time was the most attractive.

And he saved me not just once, but three times in total. Of course, I didn't fall in love with him to repay the favor. I won't sacrifice myself because of kindness, I really like him, so I decided to travel with him and be his shipwreck.

I know you hate pirates, so I won't mention him too much. And I can't tell you his name either, it's not good for you.

It's ridiculous that a daughter is about to get married, and the father doesn't know the identity of his son-in-law. I apologize for this, this is the most unfilial thing I have ever done in my life. I don't have the face to beg your forgiveness, but I hope you don't get mad at me.

After I leave, I hope you can take care of your health, don't worry about me, don't look for me, it's better to stay in this manor and live comfortably.

It's a bit of a fool's dream to say this, I know that when you're gone, you're going to be pretty badly hit, and you're likely to ditch this estate and do something impulsive. But nevertheless, I still have to go. I have made a pact with him, whether you stop me or the whole world stops me, I will fulfill this pact and join him.

Father, I have found my own happiness and I hope you can fulfill it.

Regards.

Unfilial daughter Elizabeth. Taylor.

After reading it, Robert burst into tears, and the big tears wet the handwriting on the letterhead, and he said bitterly: "Elizabeth, I have really embarrassed you all these years, and you must have paid a lot to save me." It's all to blame for your father's uselessness, which has affected you. You are not an unfilial daughter, you are the most filial daughter in the world, and I am proud of you. I'm sure you're happy, but the happiness you get from being with pirates is short-lived. Hey, we Taylor just like to do stupid things. I was a guarantor for a friend, borrowed so much money, and ended up like this, and you chose to marry a pirate. ”
