Cowell, who had stepped down from the tower, did not choose to rest, but waited around the corner for the arrival of the Grand Butler Fortner, who had something to ask the Grand Butler, who had been in the Adomondo family for a long time. And Fortner also seemed to know that Cowell was waiting for him, so he was not surprised to see a pale Cowell around the corner. Without waiting for Cowell to speak, Fortner said directly: "Young Master Floga, please come with me, that boy is now in the guest room of the castle, and he is in good condition." Fortner led the way, and Colwell, or Froga, was silent. In the dimly lit castle walkway, only the footsteps of Fortner and Cowell reverberated in tapping.

After turning a few corners and going down a staircase, looking closer and closer to the guest room, Colwell finally couldn't hold back, he stopped and broke the silence and said, "Uncle Fu, is the Adomondo family not involved in this matter?" Fortner didn't stop because of this, and after a while, Fortner's emotionless voice came, "Master Floga, shouldn't you have an answer to this a long time ago?" Cowell stood silent for a long time, his eyes full of struggle. Seeing that Fortner was about to disappear around the corner of the passage, Cowell let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had put down some baggage, and quickly followed Fortner's pace. Sensing Cowell catching up, a smile tipped into Fortner's calm mouth.

In the delicate and not flashy room, a maid is carefully feeding Arthur. "Ahem...... A tablespoon of rice porridge was coughed out by Arthur as soon as it was fed into his mouth, and the crystal rice grains were coughed everywhere. "I'm sorry. Big sister, I'm doing bad things again. Arthur said to the maid in front of him with a painful expression. "It's okay, it's okay. The maid said in a loud voice. Then just as she wanted to clean up, she found the big butler Vernat standing behind her, and the maid knelt down in a panic and said, "My lord, I ......" "It's okay, you can retreat." Fortuna motioned for the maid to go out. The maid hurried out as if she had been amnesty, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a young man with some tattered clothes on his face.

Although Cowell figured it out a little, he was a little timid when he was about to face Arthur. If it weren't for this maid coming out, I'm afraid Cowell wouldn't have the courage to go in today.

Slowly pushing open the door, Cowell quietly walked in and stood behind Fortner, wanting to see how Arthur was doing. But he didn't expect Fortner to not give Cowell face at all, Fortner turned directly to the side and exposed Cowell, "Arthur, look who is coming?" "Ah, Big Brother Cowell." Arthur said with a look of surprise.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Cowell walked to the bed with an embarrassed face and held Arthur's little hand, and then asked with concern, "How is it?" "Big brother, I'm fine." Fortunately, the teacher felt it early, and I was only slightly injured. Arthur said with a pretending of ease, and raised his arms and waved. Cowell turned his face to look at Fortner suspiciously, and saw Fortner shake his head slightly. Cowell immediately understood, and he said to Arthur with a smile on his face: "In that case, you should take care of your injuries and go back to school as soon as possible to thank the teacher." "Don't worry, big brother, the teacher also said that he would take us to the flower language prairie to play." Cowell looked at Arthur's innocent smile and felt a pain in his heart, "That's good, you have a good rest." I'm going to talk to you about Uncle Fordner. "Okay, big brother!"

"What's going on? Arthur has amnesia," Cowell hurriedly asked as he walked out of the room. "When we returned Arthur, he was dying and terrified. Priest Atubel said that if the boy's memories were not sealed, he would have a nervous breakdown when he was awake. The Grand Butler Fortner whispered. "What about Alice, what about Alice!" asked Cowell eagerly. "Alas," Fortner sighed lightly, "Young Master, please come with me." ”

Seeing Fortner's reaction, Cowell knew that Alice was afraid that something had happened to him, so he was a little depressed. Like a walking corpse, Cowell followed Fortner to a dark room.

A small sarcophagus in the dark room was left alone in the center of the room. Fortner slowly pushed the lid of the sarcophagus open, and Colwell walked to the edge of the sarcophagus, his eyes reddening. Alice's young fair face was serene, lying quietly in the sarcophagus. On the crossed hands resting on her chest was one of Alice's favorite rag dolls, which Cowell had bought for her on Alice's birthday.

Although the wound was well concealed, Cowell could still see the pale red scars on Alice's fair face. Moreover, if you look closely, how strange the body of Alice lying flat looks like. It is like a puppet toy being placed neatly, and there is no natural feeling at all.

"When we rescued this child, all the bones in his body had been broken, and all ten little fingers had been smashed to pieces. Fortuna said. Cowell looked at Fortuna with a fierce look on his face and red eyes, "Why didn't you get them out sooner, why!" Cowell shouted loudly.

"Young Master, in order to save them, the Adomondo family has already paid a lot. Fortner said as he looked Cowell in the eye. Under Fortner's gaze, Cowell, who was still menacing, gradually became sluggish. "Young Master, it's all your fault. Fortner's words were like a kind of judgment, and they directly broke the last fragile line of defense in Colwill's heart. Cowell fell to the ground in a state of despair.

From what happened to the present, Cowell feels that it is the enemy's fault, that they burned down their own home, and brutally killed their own family. What Cowell has always been reluctant to admit in his heart is that it was his willfulness and self-esteem that killed Arthur and Alice.

Cowell, who was sitting helplessly on the ground with his arms and knees folded, looked so pitiful that Fortner couldn't bear it. It's just that the master said that he would take advantage of this opportunity to bring Young Master Froga back to the Adomondo family no matter what.

Inside the darkroom, not knowing the passage of time, Colwell, whose eyes were bloodshot, stood up and walked out of the darkroom. "Young Master Fogaro, are you going to take revenge on the Bates family like this?" Fortner still looked respectful, as if the accusatory words just now did not come from his mouth, "Young Master, your guest has arrived. Please also make a decision after meeting the guest. ”

"Since it's my fault, I'm going to make up for it. With that, Colwill left the dark room without looking back.

Just walked into the courtyard of the castle, Cowell saw a familiar figure, "I didn't expect you to be here!" Arthur came to Cowell excitedly and said, "That mysterious man really didn't lie to me." "Are you here to arrest me at the City Lord's Mansion?" Cowell looked impatient.

Arthur didn't seem to see Cowell's impatience, "There's something that the mysterious man said would know the answer to when he came here." I had just arrived here and learned a big secret, but I didn't expect that the thief Iron Mouse of Mud Lane turned out to be the sole heir of the Adomondo family on the rich side. ”

"I didn't expect the aristocratic idiot I met in the blacksmith to be the prince of the Ovite Kingdom. "Cowell is going to go out past Arthur. "Froga, how do you entertain your guests? As soon as he took a step, Nimiit appeared under the eaves and reprimanded.

Despite his reluctance, since being taken back to the Adomondo family, Cowell has been very afraid of his father. In addition to resenting his father for not coming to pick up his mother and himself, causing his mother to starve to death in the mud alley, another reason for leaving the Adomondo family was that Nimit never gave Cowell a little fatherly love. In the years that Colwell was full of expectations, Cowell received the most reprimands from Nimmit. Over time, resentment and rebellion eventually led Colwell to run away from home and change his name to Cowell Bryce.

Whether it's becoming a well-known thief in Mud Alley, or eventually joining the Shadow Council as an assassin lurking in the shadows. One thing Cowell always remembered was that he was now alone. Until he brought Alice home. When he dresses Alice for the washed Alice and Alice smiles at himself, Cowell feels that his broken and withered heart comes to life again.

It's just that all this is not given by the man who is still reprimanding himself in front of him, what else did he give himself in addition to giving himself a face and reprimanding himself?

The pent-up emotions that had been pent-up for years finally exploded at this moment, and Cowell gritted his teeth and looked at his father, the richest man in Banyas City, and shouted loudly: "Get out, you don't care about me." My father is long dead, and my mother was killed by you!" Hearing Cowell mention his mother, a trace of pain flashed in Nimmit's eyes, and he only became cold for a moment. Nimmit didn't speak, just walked up to Colwell and raised his right hand. The crisp slap sound of "pop" was so harsh in the silent courtyard, Cowell looked at Nimitt with a look of disbelief, he never thought that this father, who had never beaten himself, would slap himself today!

Looking at the bright slap mark on the left side of Cowill's face, Nimmit also regretted it in his heart. He sighed lightly, and then said, "It was my incompetence, my fault, that made you and Anne suffer in the muddy alley. When I tried to find you, I found that Anne had died. After taking you home, I didn't hate you, I just didn't know how to get along with you. Now that you're grown, I can't control you, I just hope you still think of this place as a writer. This is one of the best memories of me and Anne. ”

Cowell looked at the somewhat strange father in front of him, and he knew that he was telling the truth, but it was too late.

Arthur silently watched everything that was happening in front of him, although he still didn't understand it, but he generally understood it. Watching Cowell walk out of the courtyard in despair, Arthur nodded to Nimi, then turned to catch up with Cowell and walked side by side with him. In the setting sun, the figures of the two on the road were stretched very long.
