In the middle of the night, a huge full yellow moon hangs high in the sky, dyeing the entire Aegean Sea a dazzling silver.

Robin and his father, Luo Cheng, live on a mountainside with a view of the abandoned ancient city and the bay beyond, so every day after dinner, the family would cool off in the gazebo and pass the bedtime with some light chat. Today, however, perhaps because of Robin's hints, Lee separated Martha and Cecilia early, leaving time alone for Robin and his father.

At this moment, sitting in the rattan chair woven by Luo Cheng himself, after Robin respectfully made a cup of tea for his father, he whispered a little speculatively: "Dad...... There's a question I've always wanted to ask you......"

"You want to leave, right?"

As Robin's father, although Luo Cheng went to Mercury to work in the mining industry when Robin was eight years old, his understanding of his son's personality has not weakened.

Knowing a son is not as good as a father, Luo Cheng has already seen Robin's state in the past few days. Although Robin never said anything, Luo Cheng understood that the earth was too small, and the small one couldn't keep his good son.

"......" Robin didn't expect his father's first sentence to point out the thoughts he had been wandering around for the past few days, which suddenly made his thoughts all disrupted by his father's words, and he didn't even know what to say about his mother.

And looking at his son's hesitant appearance, Luo Cheng smiled kindly and patted Robin on the shoulder: "You are more capable than me, you are a hero of the republic, you have won a war for the republic, you have even won an unimaginable wonderful future for the republic." So I have long understood that your life is no longer mine, or Cecilia, and I should not be a burden to you. ”

"Dad, I didn't mean to say this" Hearing his father say this, Robin suddenly panicked and wanted to explain.

"No explanation, I understand." Luo Cheng picked up the black tea that Robin made for him, took a sip of satisfaction and smiled: "I was also young, and I also had ambitions, so I understand what you are bothered about during this time......

Speaking of this, Luo Cheng seemed to remember something, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little gloomy. But soon, he threw away the long memories that had been hidden in his mind for a long time, and continued: "As a father who is ready to retire, of course I hope that my only son can be by my side, watch him get married, watch him have children and start a new family. But I also understand the responsibility on your shoulders, and I will not force an undefeated general like you to accompany me, an old man, to farm for my own selfishness, so ...... If you want to go, let's go...... Don't worry about me, I'm not old yet, I can take care of myself, as long as you remember to come back and see me when you have time......"

"I ......"

Robin didn't know what to say because of his father's true feelings at the moment, his eyes were red, but out of a man's self-esteem, he had to forcibly restrain his emotions and sit beside his father without saying a word with a teacup.

"Stinky boy~" Seeing Robin's appearance at the moment, Luo Cheng suddenly slapped Robin on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "A good boy has ambitions in all directions, I can leave you alone in Martian City Wald to go to Mercury to open a mine, you general can't leave me?" I'm not as useless as you think, and I can't beat you in a fight, but if you leave everyone in a rotten place like Mercury, you kid will definitely die faster than I do. ”

"Hehe......" The father's words of relief suddenly made Robin smile and laugh, and the depression in his heart disappeared with his father's laughter.

Maybe it was because his father's words resolved the guilt in Robin's heart, and his mind gradually returned to the original thought. At this moment, taking advantage of his father's good mood, Robin was bold and suddenly asked a question that he had not dared to ask all along: "Dad...... Who the hell is my mother? She...... She's alive...... Is it? ”

Since Luo Cheng was furious when he asked about his mother when he was very young, Robin has never dared to ask questions about his mother, plus he has lived alone since he was eight years old, and the relationship with his father is somewhat rusty, so there are questions about his mother, Robin has always been buried in his heart. Now, he thought that after so many years, his father should no longer reject this question as much as before, and his open-minded performance just now also increased Robin's confidence, so that he finally had the courage to ask this question. But he never expected that after many years, when he touched on this issue again, Luo Cheng's reaction was still as fierce as it was back then.

"Who told you she's still alive? Why do you ask this question? What do you know~" Luo Cheng dropped the teacup without warning, panting like an angry bull, grabbing Robin's collar and questioning loudly.

"Dad...... ...... are you" Robin was stunned by this scene, he didn't expect that his father, who was extremely gentle just now, would become like this in a blink of an eye After listening to his father's words just now, he had a very light view of this question that had not been asked, in his opinion, even if his father had a long time ago in the Hoffman Empire, it was normal for him to have any past, after all, everyone was young, and who can tell the things between men and women. But now, looking at his father's appearance as if he had been offended, Robin suddenly realized that maybe things were not as simple as he thought. Leona was right, back then her father and Leona's father Martin? Hervey's despondent return to Earth must have some compelling secrets, and his mother may not have separated from them for some simple reason.

"This is not what you should ask~" Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with his state, Luo Cheng pushed Robin away, and said loudly in a cold tone: "You don't need to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs, you just need to take care of your own woman~"

"Why can't I ask? Shouldn't a child know who his mother is? It was like this when I was young, and it's still like this now, what the hell can't you tell me~"

The father's abnormal behavior makes Robin more and more desperate to know the truth, and the experience of living alone since childhood has made Robin care about his relatives more than anyone else, and he has always followed his father's example and tried to make his father proud of himself. Now, he has done this, but when he finds that his father is still living with painful memories of the past, Robin almost instinctively wants to stand up and solve the memories that have always haunted him and the regrets that he once had.

"You ......"

"I know, you've been with Martin? Hervey returned to Earth on the same ship, I know that you were one of the important founders of the Nine Star Republic, and I also know that you worked in the Hoffman Empire, and my grandfather was an important participant in the first galactic expedition during the Great Voyage, and the target planet of the first expedition at that time was the Polar Galaxy, the capital of the Hoffman Empire~"

In order for his father to reveal the truth, Robin told him what Leona had told him without thinking. Robin wasn't sure if it was true, but looking at his father's current appearance, he began to believe that what Leona said might be true, that his father might have had a story in the Hoffman Empire, and that his mother might not have died as his archives say.

“……”

Robin didn't know how huge the impact of his words at the moment had on Luo Cheng, and it was these words that made Luo Cheng realize Robin's current status in the Republic and the fact that he was no longer a child. He began to see ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
