Chapter 56: Reunion (Part II)
"Is this the same!?"
"Isn't it different? My ancestors swore an oath like a king that our family would be loyal to Portnas for generations to come, both in life and death. Even if I have no property, no relatives, and these people don't help me in any way, I still have to do it because my surname is Blunt. The woman's eyes were very firm when she said this, and it seemed that she had the mentality of seeing death as home.
"That's what you taught Lotter. The boy smiled, "It's... Loyal. β
"Yes. Miss Blunt laughed too, "You know how hopeless I am, don't you?" She got up from the ground on her own, then turned again.
"Well, what ifβ" Rhodes didn't give up, he was still thinking about the reasons he could persuade her to leave, "What if I said it would be better to be loyal to leave?" the boy shouted to her from behind.
"What?" Miss Blunt didn't understand, and she turned around.
"It is better to live and be faithful to the Kingdom than to die here. Rod thought of such a reason that seemed to make sense, and he immediately sent out, "Leaving this does not mean betraying the kingdom, and burying one's life in vain is a betrayal." You have to live to serve your kingdom better, don't you?"
"Youβ" Miss Blount really couldn't find the words for a moment to fight back, "No, if I'm gone, won't these people be left alone?
"Anika?? Blunt, you don't owe these people, and conversely, it should be said that these people owe Mr. Blunt too much to Mrs. Blunt. Did these people intervene when you were in trouble? Is there anyone in the whole city of Belice who is helping you? Isn't it just the church that is helping you? Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with you, you have done your best. β
"You can't blame themβ" Miss Blunt was still refusing, but she could see that she was not as determined as she had just been, and everyone wanted to live, as long as she was given a reasonable reason, no one would refuse.
"Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you have to continue the bloodline of the family, don't you? Do you want to cut off the Blount family in your hands?" This is what Rhodes thought of in combination with himself, and the words of Patriarch Fick are still in his ears, and this reason cannot be refused.
"Aren't those clergy like this, why am I qualified to live?" Stripping away the dignity of the nobility, Blunt exposed his inner inferiority, why is he qualified? Is this a problem? Everyone has the right to live, but it is this kind of boring question that is now being asked by her.
"They are priests who believe in God the Father, and they are ready to give themselves a long time ago, and you are not. You are a believer at best, God the Father will not accept a person of your level of dedication, the church is not a cult, if you die, you will insult them. After studying in the Holy Capital for so many years, Rhodes is also somewhat proficient, and he can answer this kind of question without leaking, "As for why you can live, because you let Mr. Blount and Mrs. Blount save Lot, Lott knows me, I know you, and those people don't, that's your reason." Instead of questioning the question, Rhodes chose to give the girl confidence and dignity, Miss Blunt did what no one else did, and that's why she could leave here.
Looking back at the church house, Miss Blount bit her lip as she glanced at her mother's grave again. In fact, she knew early on that it would be the result of what Rod said, but mother
The relatives are still here, and they don't know where to go to be safe, and the family motto forces her to do this. But at Rod's instigation, those reasons were no longer entirely correct, and at this point the desire to survive trumped any other thought, "Where are you going to take me?" she looked back at Rod.
"Grab my hand. The boy held out his right hand to the woman.
It's completely different from the attitude just now, the strength of the woman who pretends to be hard is gone, and she leaves here, and the man in front of her leaves this nasty world, the world that makes her miserable, and gets rid of all this? This is something she only dares to imagine in her deepest dreams, but now it has happened.
When the two hands were clasped together, Rod's face really smiled, "It's been ten years, and I won't leave you again this time, Aenica." β
"No," the woman shook her head, "I can't agree to this alone, call me Blunt." Although she was denying it, she could see from the corner of her eye that the woman was very happy to be called so, but she insisted on denying it with a straight face. Because she knew what was going on in Rod's head, but now she was no longer qualified.
Now was not the time to dwell on this, Rod didn't say anything more, he pulled Blunt and started running, there was a fence in front of the cemetery, but the boy kicked it away.
"It's... No, I didn't even tell the archpriest when I left, you still kicked bad things. "Miss Blount has never seen such a barbaric practice, she was quiet and polite at all times.
"I'll apologize afterwards, now we're in a hurry. Rod has been thinking about Modryla's reminder in his heart, in order to persuade this woman before, he had to take his time, and now he has to race against time after he gets it.
A green glow shone on Rhodes "Miss Blunt, offended, please hold me." The young man picked up the woman with one hand, and her upper body rested on Rod's shoulder, and just like that, he directly began to run with speed blessings.
Along the way, the two of them encountered several patrolling inspectors, but before they could see each other, Rhodes disappeared, and these people ran in the direction, they shouted all the way, but soon they couldn't see anyone.
"Is that really okay? Those people are guards. "Miss Blount is a little scared, after the decline of the family, these people have always been the existence that must be pleased, otherwise they will inevitably be dealt with.
"Don't worry, they can't catch up with us, and we're on Miss Modryla's territory, what can they do?" the boy smirked, glancing at the woman on his shoulder, the boy getting more and more excited, and his face flushed with the vigorous exercise.
"Ma'am, are we going to Madame?" the woman was a little surprised, and then her face became worried, "No... Mrs. won't allow it. β
"Your name is Miss Modelilah, what kind of nickname is that?, she has a husband?" said Rod.
"No, but that's what everybody calls it. Mrs. Modelilah, such. Miss Blunt spoke quieter and quieter, and she thought she had said it wrong.
"Maybe that's what people will call it, but I'm not impressed. I called her Miss at the beginning, and the people around me called her the same. Rod said so, but in fact, except for him and Lot, basically no one shouted like this.
"She used to be nice to us, but then she didn't allow us to go there after the accident. "Blunt is small
Sister mentioned that the puppet was a little tangled, maybe she didn't know what to say about Modryla.
"Whatever, I'll take you in first, whether she agrees or not, I'll take you away today!" Rod made a promise.
Miss Blunt, who was on her shoulder, stopped talking, and she looked at the boy with a worried look on her face, and prayed silently.
After entering the Adventurer's Guild, there was no one behind the two of them, because Rhodes was so fast that the guards didn't know where he had gone.
After entering the guild, Modella was still standing at the front desk, but this time her eyes were not very friendly.
"Ma'amβ" Miss Blunt saw the doll's eyes as she got off Rhodes, and tried to back away in fear, but Rodra stopped her.
"Anika, long time no see. Modrilla spoke, the expression on her face smiling, but it felt even more terrifying.
"yes, long time no see, we haven't seen each other since that incident. The woman forcibly calmed her spirits, Rhodes was holding her hand, and she couldn't back down.
"You sit down for a while, and I'll go talk to her. Placing Miss Blunt on a chair in the hall, Rhodes headed for the front desk.
"Come in. Opening the backstage door again, Modrilla leaned back and disappeared into the shadow of the window, and Rhodes disappeared when he entered, leaving Miss Blount alone in the hall.
Of course, this is because the puppet has released an enchantment around it, so that she will not see and hear. When the boy walked into the barrier, Modryla's expression could be said to be eager to tear him apart.
"Why did you bring this woman to me?" said Modry, scolding Rod.
I didn't expect Jasmine to react so much, and the boy was stunned all of a sudden, "What are you doing? It's just an ordinary person, even if martial law is imposed, you don't need to be so angry, right?"
"Ordinary people?she's Ainika?? Blunt, the Blount family, ordinary people?" Modryla was still glaring at him.
"So what?" Rod didn't understand, "nobles aren't ordinary people, when did you break the rules so much here?" the boy was a little angry.
"Why don't you know the severity of the matter as much as Lot, and you have to force me to death? I heard everything you said there, I thought you were just going to see her, but I didn't expect you to take her away? Why don't you go by yourself, come to me? Do I owe you both? Deal with the for you every day?"
Looking at the doll, Rhodes felt a little wrong, "Wait, Miss Modelilah, I think there's a misunderstanding between us." "The Modrilla in front of him is so abnormal, doesn't there be something wrong with Miss Blunt that he doesn't know?
"Misunderstanding, you mean you broke in accident?" the puppet sneered.
"Nope. "I want to ask you, why Miss Blunt can't come in, why you resist their family so much, because they have done something wrong to you?"
When asked like this, Modrilla was stunned, "No... You don't know? Lott doesn't know?"
"What's the matter?" Rod's expression tensed, something that deserved Modella's rage, neither of them even knew about it.
