Like a filial son who touched the world, Patch cried and pounced, pushed away Shiso and helped the Grand Duke of Invid, and burst into tears: "Father... Are you alright? Come, I'll help you to your bedroom to rest. ”

Grand Duke Invid was already coughing unconscious, but he still clutched the documents on the table and said vaguely: "Official business... Didn't finish it... Independent... To contain... Can't give cold kites... War... Opportunity..."

Patch didn't seem to hear the key words in Archduke Invid's series of confused words, and anxiously grabbed his hand from the paper, saying, "If you fall, there's nothing!" You go to rest first, I'll take care of these documents for you! ”

"Nope! "Grand Duke Invid nudged Patch in confusion, raised his withered bark-like fingers, and waved them wildly in the direction of the gate, "Adam... Let Adam come back... Quick..."

Some complicated emotions appeared in Patch's eyes after hearing this, but they quickly disappeared, and he turned his head to look at the henchmen of the Grand Duke who was waiting on the side, and said in a good voice: "You go and inform Adam, and return to Dawn City quickly!" ”

Since it was the will of the Grand Duke, the henchman naturally didn't say much, nodded his head, and said respectfully: "Yes!" ”

After the henchmen left, Patch and Shiso helped the delirious Grand Duke Inved back to his bedroom.

Shisu brought a clean handkerchief and water, and wanted to soak it to relieve the fever of the Grand Duke, but Paqi took the handkerchief and said softly, "Let me come, I will take care of my father, and you go about your own business." ”

Shisu had a very bad impression of Patch, and she knew very well that this was an arrogant and domineering person, but at this time, seeing that Patch was so concerned about her critically ill father, she thought to herself, no matter how bad and vicious people are, they have family affection, and Patch must be very sad now...

Shisu is a person who has experienced life and death, when her parents died in the collapse, they died in front of her and her sister, but she couldn't do anything, and then saw her father in the twilight of her eyes and her son who wanted to be filial, she couldn't help but rub her moist eyes, leaned over and said: "Shisu retreated first, if there is anything to do, please ask Prince Patch for instructions." ”

After Shisu stepped back, only Patch and Archduke Inved were left in the room.

Patch took a glass of honey water, handed it to the mouth of Grand Duke Invid, and said softly, "Father, drink a little." ”

"Huh? Grand Duke Invid had a high fever at this time, his mind was a little blurry, and he subconsciously resisted Patch's hand.

Knowing that this was a serious reaction, Patch still held the cup and said patiently, "Drink, father, it will make your throat feel better." ”

After a long pause, Grand Duke Invede opened his mouth and drank two sips of honey water, the cool and sweet liquid flowing through his throat and relieving many discomforts.

Grand Duke Invede opened his eyes with difficulty, his vision began to blur due to the high fever, but he could still tell that the person in front of him was Patch, he was silent for a moment, sighed, leaned on the pillow and muttered, "I really didn't expect that you would be by my side in the last moments of my life." ”

Patch shook his head and said, "What are you talking about, father, I am your son." ”

"yes... I only have a son like you. Archduke Inwide's tone was mixed, lonely and complicated, he stretched out his withered hand, gently put his arm on Patch's shoulder, and said in a sad tone, "Patch, in your heart, am I a good father?" ”

Patch nodded heavily and said, "Yes." ”

"Ha, you're lying." Grand Duke Invid put his arm on Patch's shoulder, stroked the rank of brigadier general on his shoulder, and sighed, "If I were a good father, I shouldn't have left my family to work and should have taken care of you more." You shouldn't use your family power to directly ask the headquarters to grant you the rank of brigadier general, you shouldn't turn a blind eye when you use your status to bully others, and you should have been in charge of you when you used your power to dictate your retainers, and you should have been in charge of you when you stoned the kitten to death and laughed happily..."

Patch's eyes were closed, his body trembling with sadness, and he said in a trembling voice, "Have I disappointed you, father?" ”

Archduke Invede lay on the bed in amazement, stared at the ceiling, and said lonely: "To be honest, yes, disappointed. You should know that my ambitions are no less than those of Commander-in-Chief Aglonso, and I look forward to the day when my family will be able to control the entire Federation, but when I see the gap between you and Brigadier General Novena, I know that wish is about to be frustrated. ”

"Commodore Novena is a star in the sky, and I've been thinking that maybe Commander-in-Chief Agroso saved the world in his previous life, maybe he was Roosevelt, Lincoln, or Washington in his previous life, and his contribution was too great, so fate gave him a gift in this life, a gift called Novena."

"And I, ha, maybe I was a Hitler, Mussolini, or some other war criminal in my last life, and fate wanted me to pay off my past sins in this life, so I gave you to me."

"You ask me if I'm disappointed in you, yes, Patch, disappointed, I don't want to lie to you, I'm really disappointed in you." Archduke Invid looked at the lonely Patch, his eyes were filled with disappointment and remorse at first, as if he was staring at something unclean, but slowly, this emotion dissolved, leaving aside all official business, all sustenance, and all that was left was the kind eyes of a very pure father looking at his son, "But so what? You are my son, my only son, whether I am disappointed or hated will not change, our blood ties have long been predestined. ”

In the silence, Grand Duke Invid's eyes narrowed slightly, as deep as the sea: "Patch, I need you to answer me a question, very seriously. ”

"Father, you say."

"Is your recent repentance true?" Grand Duke Invid looked directly into Patch's eyes, his eyes sharpened as when he was younger, "Are you really reforming and want to start from scratch for this family?" Or do you just want to lie to me, what are you secretly seeking? ”

A series of belittling and questioning made Patch unable to hold back his emotions any longer, he slapped himself fiercely, and slapped again and again, crying profusely: "Am I so unbearable in your heart?!" Father?! I have to be a villain, I can't wake up, I have to be like you think, bully the weak, be ruthless, and always be a waste, only then are you satisfied?! Yes?! ”

Seeing Patch draw his face into a bloody blur, tears dripping down, crying like the 5-year-old child who was still pampered by him, Archduke Invid's heart seemed to be broken, he trembled and grabbed Patch's wrist, some transparent liquid appeared in his eyes, and said sorry to Patch for the first time in a sad tone of old age: "I'm sorry, Patch... I'm not a good father... I'm going to leave soon, and there's something I can't make up for, but at least you let me know that you're not a demon, and that's good... That's good..."

"No, father, I'm not a demon..."Patch gently held his father's dry hand, put it on his face and rubbed it gently, tears flowed into the cracks in his skin, and muttered in a trembling voice, however, without any warning, Patch suddenly began to exert force, and his strong fingers almost sank into the back of Archduke Invid's hand, as if to pierce it, he looked down at his father on the hospital bed, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared, and the hideous color was like a poison melting and spreading, and said gloomily, "I am much more terrible than a demon." ”
