Chapter Forty-Seven: Things Are Wrong
Time flows in the long river of years, say goodbye to the past and welcome the future.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed in a flash.
In the past three years, a lot has happened.
Lilian and Galo have been in love for a long time, and they are not afraid of their father Bedren's resistance, and secretly unite together, and also give birth to a child of a blood and human witch.
This cross-racial love is intolerable in the blood society, and Garlo was expelled from the family by his father and severed the father-son relationship.
Bedren was also impeached by a council of other clan chiefs in the realm for Galo's absurdity, demanding that he be removed from the throne.
The New World (North American continent) across the sea.
Jue leads the Demon Party to prepare for a war, a war against all the secret clans. Dozens of combat ships and a large number of weapons have been crafted, just waiting for a ripe time.
In addition to the war preparations in the base camp of the New World Demon Party, many of the infiltrated teams sent also continued to harass and infiltrate the borders of the secret party's territories.
A tug-of-war between the secret party and the demon party is being staged violently.
On the other side, in the territory of the secret party, there are constantly blood clans and human beings missing, and the demon clan is slowly coveting the secret party and developing its own power, because of the defeat in the previous battles, there is no longer a head-on conflict with any force.
The human world has also become chaotic due to the invasion of demons, except for the major cities, which are still stable, and most of the suburbs and rural areas have been paralyzed.
Under the pressure of the Queen, the regional governments also carried out large-scale extermination of heretical creatures, as if returning to the 13th century, when the heretical inquisition and witch hunting frenzy swept across Europe.
At this time, in the human world, the blood hunting group for the blood clan society is also slowly developing, and the blood clan is constantly dying at the hands of the blood hunters, which is also a strong enemy that weakens the power of the blood clan society.
New unknown forces are rising, and hostile forces on the surface are also peeping.
It can be said that the secret party has suffered from the enemy in the past three years, and it has not been very peaceful.
——
Inside the Bevo estate.
Bedren was overwhelmed by a table of impeachment letters.
When he saw a fiercely worded letter, Bedren was so angry that he tore it up on the spot.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Who!"
Bedren roared angrily, so frightened that the butler outside the door, Fowl, quickly withdrew his hand that wanted to continue knocking on the door.
"Your Excellency, there's a letter from the general assembly!"
When Bedren heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he thought to himself that the impeachment of the council had really been noticed by the elders of the general assembly? The representative speaker of the patriarch of the seven clans has not yet come, why did the general assembly come to the letter so quickly?
Is it really necessary to hold an impeachment meeting for him at the general assembly? If the impeachment is reviewed, it is really time for him, the prince, to abdicate.
"Show it to me!"
Without waiting for Fore to open the door, Bedren walked directly to the door, opened it, and dodged the letter in the butler's hand.
"Bang".
The door that had just been opened slammed shut again.
Surprised, Fore raised his empty hand and turned to stand guard outside the door.
Pinching the letter in his hand, Bedren felt a little uneasy in his heart, looking at the emblem of the exclusive general assembly, a little frightened, being nominated by the general assembly, there was no other good news except for calling for impeachment and recall.
No matter how worried he was, he couldn't change the facts, so he hesitated for a moment, but then tore open the seal and took out the letter that had decided his fate.
……
"For, prepare a carriage for me tomorrow!"
Inside the door, Bedren's shouts were heard.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Faure received the order, he left the door and went to prepare the carriage.
Following.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of the Bevo estate.
In the distance, Bedren, who was about to leave, came towards the gate, accompanied by a butler.
Outside the gate, behind the thorny wall, a figure hid out, waiting for Bedrun's appearance.
"Your Excellency, are you really going to Venice?"
The butler Fore handed the leather bag with the papers in his hand to Bedren, a little worried, he really had nothing left when he went this time.
"Yes, I have to hurry up, I can't be late!"
Bedren took the bag and prepared to step into the carriage.
Suddenly, a figure ran through the gate and stopped him.
"Guards! Guard! Hurry up and catch this bum! ”
Butler Fore shouted in panic.
"Don't stop me!" The figure struggled and shouted, "Father, are you really going to Venice?" ”
The familiar voice quickly made Bedren stop his movements, and he asked the guard to let go of the scruffy man in the inferior linen clothes in front of him and slowly leaned over.
Half-convinced, he asked, "Galo?" ”
The recognized Galo's face was full of guilt, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his father, "It's me!" ”
The almost invisible tenderness on Bedren's face was quickly replaced by anger, and he stared at his son in disgust: "You still have the face to come to me?" Look at you, you look like a pariah, and sure enough, without my help, you are nothing! ”
When they met again, Galo thought that his father would humiliate him again, although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but clench his fists at his side, he didn't hate his father, he hated himself.
He hated his own obstinate behavior and let his father be implicated by himself, he was ashamed of his father, and he was ashamed of Lilian, who was accustomed to living a worry-free life of aristocracy and wealth, when he was expelled from the clan by his father.
He is very arrogant, he is confident in his connections and abilities, and even if he leaves his father, he will be able to take Lillian and their children with him to live a good life.
However, reality hit him hard, and his decision made him a laughing stock in the entire Bloodline society in Croia, and none of the Bloods were willing to help him.
The fellows who used to call him Lord Earl changed their faces, spat on him, insulted him, and did not even want to see him.
In order to make a stable living, he had to hide with Lillian and her children in a remote village, and sell coolies at the port at night to make ends meet.
For the sake of Lilian, he also renounced his noble blood status, giving up sucking human blood and drinking animal blood instead.
Although his life is poor, he is content with Lilian and her children.
Yesterday in the harbor, he overheard the foraging Bloods discussing his father's arrival in Venice, the seat of the main assembly, and he panicked.
Because of him, his father was to be interrogated in disgrace at the general assembly, and the possibility that the prince's position would not be secured, and he was so guilty that after settling Lilian's mother and son, he hurried back to Bevo Manor overnight to see his father.
"Father, are you really going to be deposed?"
Garlo furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice, his guilt reassuring him, but he didn't seem to be able to do anything.
Bedren looked at his son's cowardly appearance and kicked him away: "Don't delay my departure, there is time to get in the way of my eyes, it is better to go back and take care of your bastard!" ”
Galo was kicked to the ground by his father, and hearing him humiliate him so much could only bear it in silence, his lips trembling, and his heart was like a knife.
"Faure, get rid of this obnoxious guy, and don't let him delay my departure!"
Bedren spoke coldly, no longer glancing at Garlo, and got into the carriage with his feet, as if disgusted, and deliberately lowered all the curtains on the carriage windows.
"Let's go to Venice!"
"Yes!"
The wheels of the carriage turned.
Galo, who collapsed to the ground, came back to his senses and got up to go over, but was pulled by Fall on the side.
"Lord Garlo, don't mess with the prince again, go back quickly!"
Garlo sighed and said lonely: "Fore, I'm not an adult anymore, just a pariah, I'm ...... I went back. ”
Fore looked at Galo's lonely figure, and couldn't help but sigh, this good nobleman is inappropriate, he has to disobey the world, become a laughing stock, and become a lower-class person, what a sin!
As Fore turned to return to the manor, Garloh stopped him.
I saw him trotting over, opening his mouth embarrassedly, and hesitating for a while: "Please, convey something to my father, I, I'm sorry for him......"
The arrogance of the past was completely absent on his face, only the vicissitudes of life tempered by hard life.
"Okay!"
Faure nodded in agreement.
"Thank you!"
Galo pursed her lips, nodded in self-explanatory, and turned away.
Fore shook his head with emotion and turned to go back.
……
Inside the carriage.
The anger on Bedren's face gradually subsided.
He narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, he leaned sideways and looked out the window behind him.
Beyond the small frame, there was only a wide avenue, and the surrounding scenery told him that he had long since moved away from Bevo Manor, and of course, he would not see that figure again.
He turned back in amazement, and took out the letter from his purse, a happy smile on his lips.
This is not the content of the summons to impeach the prince, but a small discussion about the recent rise of the new power demon clan and a series of recent events that are not conducive to the development of the secret party.
The princes of all realms must be invited to participate, including him, because Kroadi is the realm with the most contact with demons, and he is a prince who is specially invited.
The General Assembly would not be stupid enough to remove him, the prince who had first-hand information.
……
There wasn't much time left for Galo to be sad.
Depart from Bevo Estate.
He used all his strength to rush to the port.
He still had to take care of Lilian's mother and son, so he could only brace himself and hurry back to the village.
It was only when he saw Lilian's mother and son that his spirit was comforted, and he had nothing left but his wife and children.
Fortunately, Lilian did not dislike living a hard life with him, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper during these hardships.
By the time he rushed home, it was late afternoon.
Very quiet in a small village.
Seeing the light of his home lighten up made Garlo's heart feel a little relieved.
Pushing open the door, Lillian was seen feeding the baby.
Galo closed the door softly and hugged Lillian, leaving a kiss on her forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Garlo stroked Lillian's head guiltily.
Lillian smiled and shook her head, "Being with you is the happiest thing." ”
The two looked at their quiet and lovely son in their arms and smiled at each other.
The dimly lit and dilapidated hut is instantly filled with happiness that money can't buy.
Garlo simply prepared a little dinner for his wife, and went out to make the rabbit he had caught when he came back for dinner.
When she returned to her room, Lillian had already put the child to sleep.
"Let's rest!"
"Wait."
Looking at the preoccupied look on Lilian's face, Garlo was a little puzzled.
She was silent for a moment, then pulled Galor to the closet and opened it.
The closet, which used to be only shabby clothes, has been turned into clothes made of fine fabrics, and there is a heavy bag of money in the corner.
Garlo was stunned, and only Lilian was heard to say, "Actually, your father cares about you very much. ”
Feeling something choked in her throat, Galo lowered her eyelashes and pulled Lilian beside her into her arms, and the two couples hugged each other for a long time......
