Chapter 599 Apostate
"My husband...... Mr. Bass Macaroon, he is a very charming gentleman...... Since he was a child, he has a natural sense of justice and honor. ”
"I remember when I was a kid and my husband first met...... At that time I was being bullied by some street thugs...... I will never forget that time when my husband jumped out to fight for me......"
When talking about childhood memories, the corners of Mrs. Macaroon's mouth couldn't help but put a wistful smile on her lips. This kind of expression is very familiar to Arrow, and when he was in the old Tengshu Academy, those female classmates also had this expression when they talked about the young and promising prince.
"My husband was upset for me...... At that time, he was only one person, and he had to face the attack of five tall thugs...... At that time, he was beaten all over his body, and blood spat out in mouthfuls. But even so, he protected me very well...... Ah, Buzz was really handsome at that time......"
Arrow pursed his lips, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "I can't see it, you and your husband are still childhood sweethearts?" ”
Mrs. Macaroons smiled a little shyly, and after a moment, nodded slightly: "Although Buzz tried his best to get rid of those thugs, he was also not lightly injured...... So, I helped him to his house...... At that time, I didn't know that his family was originally a paladin family...... So I still think it was rude when I went to his house......"
As she spoke, Mrs. Macaroons suddenly raised her hand to cover her face, as if she was very shy.
"But it was also because of this luck that I learned where my husband lived. And then...... I felt that my husband was hurt because of me, so I wondered if I could take care of him. But at that time, I knew my identity, how could a dirty person like me enter such a family to take care of people? ”
"So I had to leave, but for a while, I would go around my husband's house every once in a while to see how my husband was doing."
Originally, Arrow thought it was okay to hear it, but when he heard it, a trace of doubt appeared on his face: "Wait a minute, Mrs. Macaroon, how old were you two at the time?" I understand that Mr. Bass is a paladin, but what is your identity? What do you mean by a dirty person? ”
Mrs. Macaroons was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, she still said, "At that time...... I...... Ten years old, my husband is ...... than me Three years older. And at that time...... I was just a little girl who grew up in a slum and had five children in my family, including me...... So my parents don't care much about me, and I'm usually responsible for begging on the street to earn some money for the family......"
Airo exhaled slightly, and then nodded slightly: "And then?" ”
Mrs. Macaroons breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Arrow no longer inquired about her origins, and continued: "And then, Mr. Bass's father, Mr. Macaroon, noticed that I was often hanging around their house. That time, Mr. Macaroons thought I was a thief who had come to step on the point, so he arrested me directly. ”
At this time, the corners of Mrs. Macaroon's mouth under the bangs were slightly upturned. It doesn't look like the look on your face when you're caught.
"I remember that I was so frightened that I begged the old gentleman for mercy. Said I was just worried about Mr. Bass so I came to see him, hoping to see that Mr. Bass was in good health. ”
"The old gentleman was a little puzzled, but when he pulled me in front of Mr. Bass, and Mr. Bass proudly said that saving me was nothing, I knew that I might not be able to leave my husband for the rest of my life~~~"
Arrow scrutinized the woman in front of him.
Obviously, she has worshipped her husband endlessly as her hero, right?
Well, that's fine! Anyway, this is someone else's value, and I have no right to oppose it.
"Old Mr. Macaroon, knowing that I was indeed not a thief, and that he really cared for Mr. Bass, was much better with me. And I was allowed to come and visit Mr. Bass all the time. At that time, I was really happy and happy! It's just that...... I wonder if Mr. Bass is as happy as I am...... Because every time he saw me, Mr. Bass would have a very disgusted expression...... For a while, I was really worried......"
"From that time on, I usually liked to run to my husband's house when I had nothing to do. Because the wife of the old man died very early, there was no one at home to tidy up. I helped to tidy up, cook three meals a day for the old man and Mr. Bass, and help them clean their rooms. Though...... I looked like a maid, but I felt that I was proud to be a maid in a paladin's house. ”
"After such a back and forth, after a year, the old macaroon came to my house and offered to buy me."
"My parents didn't have a problem and were even happy that there was one less person in the family to eat. And the old gentleman's macaroons don't have much money at home, so they didn't spend much money when they bought me. All I knew was that from that time on, I would always be by Mr. Bass's side, that I could be with him all day long, that he could take care of him, that he could continue to be my hero. ”
Arrow pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded.
A widower, alone in caring for an adolescent boy, can obviously feel a little overwhelmed. At this time, if a girl of the same age can come over and be a playmate for her son, it can indeed be regarded as an investment. What's more, this girl can also take care of the family, which can be regarded as a good deal anyway.
"After moving into Mr. Bass's house, I feel that I have been extremely happy in my life. I was with Mr. Bass, serving him, serving him, taking care of him. When Mr. Macaroon instructed Mr. Bass Paladin on the fighting techniques and rules, I followed him as a sparring partner, holding a sandbag, a shield and so on. It was also at this time that I gradually came to understand the real situation of the macaroon family. ”
"Actually...... Although Mr. Almond Cake has the fighting skills of a paladin, in terms of reputation, he belongs to a knight who was expelled from the Holy See of Light and deprived of the title of Paladin. ”
After talking for a long time, he finally came to the point, and Airo also quickly adjusted his posture. However, perhaps it was the movement of his posture that made the hen under his palm a little uncomfortable, and it suddenly opened its wings and flapped it twice, and its neck also stretched out!
Airo hurriedly turned his two hands to press the hen, but with the hen's trembling, an oval-shaped white object suddenly rolled out from the hen's back.
"Old Mr. Macaroon, when he was on a mission in the name of the Holy See, he once carried out a manslaughter ......"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”
Arrow felt that his current state was not suitable for listening to such a serious question from this woman, so he hurriedly called a halt.
Reaching out, he picked up the egg and placed it on the table, then tried to hold the hen with both hands again. After making sure that this guy was finally settled down again, he exhaled, nodded, and said, "It's okay, you can go on." ”
Mrs. Almond Cake sighed, thought for a moment, and then continued: "The failure of that mission caused Old Mr. Almond to be held accountable by the local lord for accidentally killing several civilians who had nothing to do with the object of the mission. ”
In order to settle the dispute over this incident, the Holy See of Light could only make the decision to expel the old man from the church and expel him from the paladin's ranks. In addition, the macaroon family was deprived of a large amount of property for compensation. After that, Mr. Macaroon was imprisoned for malicious homicide. ”
However, during his imprisonment, the old gentleman's wife also died of exhaustion and overwork in caring for the young Mr. Bath. Because the young Mr. Bass had no one to take care of, and the orphanage run by the Holy See was unwilling to accept the son of an 'apostate', the Holy See could only secretly let Mr. Marzipan be released from prison early and take care of Mr. Bass himself. ”
Arrow nodded lightly and said, "Regardless, the manslaughter of civilians can be serious or minor. But as long as you really kill civilians because of misjudgment, then the Holy See's handling of your father-in-law is not much of a problem. ”
Madame Macaroon nodded slightly, smiled and said, "I know, because my father-in-law never said a word of hatred against the Holy See until he died. Sometimes I even hear my father-in-law's regret at night, saying that if he hadn't been so impulsive, he wouldn't have been in this situation. ”
But then, the smile on Mrs. Macaroon's face quickly dimmed, and she said softly, "But...... Mr. Bass doesn't seem to think so......"
"My husband lost his mother at a very young age, and for a long time he was subjected to the guilt-filled title of 'son of an apostate.'"
"Coupled with the fact that Mr. Macaroons was imprisoned when my husband was a child, my husband has always had a kind of 'My mother will die because of the Holy See of Light, and my father will be imprisoned because of the Holy See, and the fact that our family is living so hard now is all because of the injustice of the Holy See of Light!' Such a feeling. ”
