The light in VIVI's eye socket had gone out, as if he was asleep, and it was probably possible that he had sensibly turned off his sensor system and let the two of them whisper for a while.

Tang Fang slowly calmed down his irritability and quietly waited for her next story.

Elena said her mother had a sad smile in the picture, and she was not the same now. She is very beautiful, beautiful clean, beautiful and thorough, but now she is a kind of distressing beauty, not a beauty that makes people amazing or moved.

"My mother is a journalist, born and raised in Charles Commonwealth, if it weren't for those things, she probably wouldn't have had anything to do with the nobility for the rest of her life......" At this point she paused, realizing that there was something wrong with these words, and corrected: "Life dealings." ”

Laura? PATSY IS A JOURNALIST, AND IT IS INEVITABLE THAT HE WILL INTERSECT WITH SOME SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED NOBLES IN THE EXCLUSIVE COUNTRY DURING HIS WORK, SO ELENA'S PREVIOUS WORDS ARE A LITTLE UNRIGOROUS.

"Until 16 years ago, when she was 29 years old, I wasn't born yet."

"That year, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was in high spirits, and that year His Majesty the King endured the burden, and it was also in that year that the Duke of Kernar finally made up his mind to reform the rotten social system."

"His first substantive reform was to open up media control and allow foreign media to settle in Etiya. IT IS CONCEIVABLE WHAT SUCH A MOVE REPRESENTS IN A DICTATORIAL COUNTRY, IF IT IS AN IMPERIAL SUPREMACY COUNTRY SUCH AS THE MONYA EMPIRE, THE SULU EMPIRE, AND THE PHOENIX EMPIRE, I AM AFRAID THAT THE NEXT DAY HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE TITLE AND FIEF, AND PUNISHED FOR TREASON. ”

"The situation in the United Kingdom of Turanks is better, because the power of the crown is not so absolute, and Zangov has not been on the throne for a long time, and his footing is unstable, and he urgently needs to win over the domestic nobility against the regent, who is in the limelight. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to turn a blind eye to his father's reform initiatives. ”

"His Majesty the King is very smart, he does not think that his father's reforms can be carried out, and there will be many people, many families, many vested interests to jump out and block the reforms. Relying on his father's own strength, he is powerless to change the general trend of the country, but will dig his own grave. ”

"He was a visionary, and there was a lot of resistance to reform from the outset, both inside and outside the Duchy of Kernar."

"After repeated exhortations to no avail, some old people who resisted reform and enterprises with aristocratic backgrounds chose to use tough measures."

"They planned a terrorist attack on my father, thinking that it would be best to kill him, even if they couldn't. You can also give him a wake-up call, and it is better to be more restrained in the future, and it is best to dispel the idea of reform. ”

"My father didn't die, his bodyguards died a few, and there were many civilians. When Buffaf arrived at the scene with a rapid reaction force, brought the situation under control, and rescued him from the trapped location, the first foreign journalists stationed in 'Etiya' arrived at the scene. Among them is Laura? Patsy - My mother. ”

The father did not leave, nor did he prevent the reporters from entering the scene. When I transfer to an ambulance. He gave up his magnetic levitation stretcher to a civilian, and used his bloody hands to dig out a wailing stray dog from the rubble. ”

"Some people think that he is acting in front of foreign journalists, but my mother doesn't think so, because my father asked the name of the civilian, and besides, he remembered!"

So she plucked up the courage to walk to the ambulance. Ignoring the obstruction of the military and police, he asked loudly if he could be interviewed. ”

"Not only is there a huge difference in status between a foreign journalist and a duke, but such an interview is bound to involve a sensitive political situation. After the terrorist attack that had just been experienced, no one thought that the Duke of Congreve would accept Laura's request for an interview, and even if he wanted to convey something to the outside world, he would think deeply, plan quietly, and express it in some unnutritious official cliché. ”

To everyone's surprise, he agreed, and without any other schedule, in that ambulance, after he had treated the flesh wound on his shoulder.

"He also did not answer those sharp questions in official words and clichés, let alone hide the political ugliness behind this terrorist attack, he said that he would not give up, to the reform, and to those who obstructed it."

And so...... Mother and father met in a place full of blood and fire, as well as political evil. Then, my mother became my father's closest foreign correspondent, and many interviews about reform have been carried out. ”

"I read my mother's diary, in fact, she was in the same idea as some media people at first, thinking that her father was just playing on the scene and using the power of the media to achieve her own political goals, but as time went on, she went from distrust to suspicion, and from suspicion to admiration, and then wanted to know more about him, and then the two came together...... It was the mother who took the initiative. ”

"Because my father has a very special personality, just like a passage that my mother wrote in her diary: 'Only now do I know why he did not hesitate to be interviewed after the terrorist attack, because he did not want to go back, as I said in my ear - when the outside world is full of resistance, all I can do is to push myself into a corner, and change the lack of retreat into a forward momentum.' If you think about it, it's really cute to say something like this from the mouth of a duke, just like his rosacea, and the drunken nonsense that people can't bear to look at. ’”

"In my mother's opinion, compared with those aristocratic lords who are polite on the surface, love the people like children, but are actually full of male thieves and prostitutes, my father is more like an old boy who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and does not look back after hitting the south wall, of course, this is just his essence, in fact, the politician's set, he will, but many times he disdains to do it."

Tang Fang interjected at this time, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I think your father is like me." ”

Elena didn't delve into the disrespect in this sentence, but her pink face burned suddenly. She remembered what she had just said—"It was his mother who took the initiative," in other words, it was his mother who seduced Congreve.

Now, it was also her marriage proposal to Tang Fang, and then he said that his personality was very similar to Congreve.

Captain Tang quickly came back to his senses and quickly put the conversation back on track: "And then? ”

Elena continued what she had just said: "Then the mother became pregnant...... After all, she has no reputation, and of course, her mother does not want a reputation, she just stubbornly pursues her love, ignoring the opposition of all relatives and friends. Determined to give birth to the child in the womb. ”

"Because my father's reform career had really touched the practical interests of the nobility within the realm, it became difficult, and for her own safety, as well as other repercussions, my mother quit her job and returned to the Charles Federation."

"Soon after I returned. She had a fight with my grandparents and moved to 'Amya' alone, quietly waiting for the birth of her child. Of course...... Her father sent an old housekeeper and several bodyguards to take care of her, but this did not soothe her mother's lonely and sad feelings. ”

"A few months later, when the cause of 'Etiya' reform was almost at a standstill, my father had no choice but to use the power of the army to deprive more than a dozen nobles who openly resisted the reform of their titles, as well as the official positions of the relevant clansmen, and those who refused to obey were taken away on charges of disrespecting the orders of the lord. Or even killed. ”

"This has led to a riot with varying degrees of turmoil in the areas of people's livelihood, transportation, and the economy. Everyone in the major families was worried that such a thing would happen to them, so many opponents of the reformers moved their families to 'Josena', which was controlled by Sulbacho, Reeves and others. ”

"My mother was very worried about my father's safety, and she lost a lot of weight, and she was separated and frightened for a long time, and her relatives did not understand. There is also pessimism about not seeing the future, which puts her under great pressure. So...... The smile on her face during that time was the same, with sadness and sadness. ”

She stopped, VIVI was asleep, the rabbit was asleep, and the kitten between the plates had squinted.

The water droplets lap against the green leaves, making a soft "pop, pop" sound. Water marks are snaking out on the bright fruits, and there is a wetness spreading on the ridge melon rack, bringing a trace of coolness.

This is a taste that only comes at night in early autumn...... He still remembers his life.

And that's the end of it? Elena said so much in one breath that it ended so simply?

No, there's still one down there. She's telling a story. Parents and his story, rather than simply explaining why the smile on the mother's face is so distressing.

"What about down there?"

Elena looked at the somewhat uncontoured face in the dim light and said, "You really want to hear it?" ”

Tang Fang said: "I have always been a very competent listener, and I hate anticlimactic stories the most, if it is not exciting enough, I will curse the storyteller, and if it is wonderful enough, I will treat him for a drink." ”

Elena asked, "Then will you curse me?" ”

"I'll punish you for copying the Great Compassion Mantra a thousand times."

The girl thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go on." ”

"My mother was worried about the tension in the Duchy of Kernar, but on the other hand, she didn't want to go back to her father, lest he be distracted. In fact, there is another important reason, she wants me to be born in the Charles Federation and be an ordinary person, instead of fighting with my brothers for property. ”

"She is a journalist, she has seen many aristocratic grievances, heard many fratricides, and from her father's experience, she knows that those characters who shine brighter than the spotlight have actually lived in darkness, with demons as companions, and with ghosts and ghosts."

"When the child in her womb was about to come into the world, she gave her a nice name, Elena."

"No one thought that this would be her last gift to her daughter."

"After the opponents of the reform moved to 'Jossena', the civil strife in the Duchy of Kernar escalated, and in order to confront their father, they formed a counter-reform alliance headed by Reeves and Surbaggio, relying on the armed forces of 'Josanne' to continue their privileges and safeguard the interests of the aristocratic class."

"At such a tense moment, Amanda's Kerivat family proposed a plan that could give her father a strong blow, and then passed without any resistance, which was unanimously approved and supported by all members of the Kernar family in the 'Josenner' system."

"Yes, they're going to do it to my mother...... When she was about to give birth, in order to give her father a fatal blow, she did not care that the child in her womb was also a member of the Kernar family, and she did not care about her mother's status as an outsider...... Or maybe they don't think of their mother as an outsider, on the contrary, it is she who poisons their father's mind and makes him go further and further on the road of reform. ”

"Whatever the reason, after paying a lot of money to buy off several local police officers, their assassination was successful, and the bodyguards arranged by my father failed to save my mother's life, she was shot in the heart with a pistol, and the ambulance arrived without breathing."

"Luckily. The child is still alive......"

Speaking of this, Elena raised her head and looked into his eyes and said, "I'm still alive......"

In the dim light, those clean eyes were slightly reddened.

The doctor told the old housekeeper that the mother's constitution was weak, and there was actually a short time before she gave birth, although the child was still alive. There is no guarantee that she will grow up healthy. ”

"But...... The child survived. ”

"I ...... survived. ”

It's still two short sentences with similar meanings, but they contain different things, which are emotions that belong to Elena.

"So, my birthday is the same day as my mother's death."

Tang Fang felt her heart twitch hard, she didn't complain, she didn't shout, she just calmly stated a fact. But it is more powerful than any accusation or shout.

The end of Laura's life is the beginning of Elena's life, and the culprit who did all this is her brother, who has the same blood as her.

"My grandfather and grandmother didn't accept me, they just took my mother's ashes."

"I don't hate them, I really don't, because it's my existence that makes them turn against each other. Also because of my existence, Mother was ahead of them. ”

"Three years after my mother's death. My grandfather had gone to 'Amya' to look for me, because my grandmother had called 'Laura' and 'Elena' when she was unconscious, but unfortunately he didn't find me, and the old butler had taken me out of that sad place. ”

"In the past two years, my grandfather has also left. It is said that on the cabinet next to the hospital bed are pictures of my grandmother, my mother, and a photo of little Elena in a white dress and laughing in the sun. ”

"I don't know what kind of life my father lived in those years until he grew up. Looking through the news reports of the online media, I know that the reform process of 'Aladel' has been stalled for three years since then, and during that time he rarely appears in front of the media, and even if he does appear on camera, he is either haggard or drunk. ”

He ...... I'm really not good at adjusting my emotions, just like my mother described, on the surface he is a lord, but in his bones he is an old boy who doesn't grow up. ”

She paused and glanced at Tang Fang with a somewhat complicated gaze.

"Either way, he has regained his strength, but he is more radical than before on the issue of reform, and he no longer takes the moderate path."

"My father has always been very good to me, although I haven't seen each other a few times when I'm so old, I still see a lot of guilt, a lot of love, and a lot of sadness in his eyes."

"He felt guilty because he couldn't grow up with his little daughter, guilty because he let her lose her mother, guilty because he couldn't give her a normal life. As for grief, I would like to ...... Maybe I saw my mother's shadow in me...... It must be like this. ”

Later, my father sent VIVI. Later, I learned a lot of things, and I also knew a lot of things. Later, when I heard about my father's death, I cried for a long time over the picture of my mother and him. ”

"Soon after, Tang Lin found me, and then, I made my own choice, came to the United Kingdom of Turanks, came to you, and did what I was supposed to do."

"Actually, neither my mother nor my father wanted me to go back to the United Kingdom of Turanks, to this place of sorrow. My father once said that I don't belong here, that my life should not bloom in the United Kingdom of Turanks. He wanted me to live like a normal Charles girl. ”

"It's a pity that I didn't follow his teachings and didn't choose Charles Commonwealth, but chose the place where my father grew up, and where my mother met the most important person in her life."

"I'm not here to inherit my father's business, I'm here to end it!"

"My mother's tragedy, my father's suffering, my grandparents' regrets, and the pain I went through......"

"I don't want to see this happen again, so I have to use my heart and hands to change the entire dukedom and change this system that allows tragedy after tragedy to be infinitely reincarnated."

"When such a fate comes, I choose to say goodbye to my original life, follow Tang Lin back here, ask for your help, and become my strength."

"In return, I am willing to be your wife, take care of you with all my heart, and raise your children...... It's really hard for me right now, though. ”

"Honestly, I really don't know how to face you...... I haven't fallen in love with you yet...... I don't know what to do to be a good wife...... I can't be as simple as Linglong and Yingluo when you're a big brother...... I was very confused, there was some loss and sourness, and there was a faint sense of warmth and security...... Maybe it's like the word 'mixed tastes'. ”

This time she didn't show a shy expression, but spoke very slowly and trembling slightly.

"Am I stubborn? Just like my mother described my father, 'If you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, and if you hit the south wall, you won't look back'? ”

Tang Fang reached out and rubbed her head, and let out a soft "um".

She...... Really a good girl.

is still the same sentence, her strength is different from Zhou Ai, her gentleness is different from Claire, and her simplicity is even more different from Freya.

She's strong, she's gentle, she's simple, she's Elena.

She is who she is, unlike anyone else. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm not going to admit to writing about the everyday, well, foreshadowing...... Foreshadowing......

I love Elena's.

Finally, 2 more is finished, ask for encouragement, ask for rewards.
