Duke Norma was soon informed of the death of the Marquis of Trensu.

His reaction was simple and unpretentious, his eyes widened, his throat made a gratified sound, his body spasmed, and then he spurted blood, and passed out.

Well, nothing new at all.

The stewards and staff of the Duke's Palace naturally panicked and hurriedly went to ask the priests to come and treat them. The archbishop, who had a good relationship with the Norma family, sighed and shook his head again and again.

"Duke he...... Worrying too much has damaged the soul greatly. "His soul is now slowly drying up, and magic can only heal his body, and nothing can be done about the sickness of the soul." ”

"Why did his soul dry up, could it be because of a curse or something?" asked the butler worriedly.

"It's not a curse, it's just sorrow and fear. The archbishop paused, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps your understanding is good, but sorrow and fear are in themselves a curse. ”

"So...... What should we do?" asked the butler hurriedly.

The archbishop looked at him and said, "At the very least, you should ask his son to come back and preside over the overall situation." ”

The butler was stunned for a moment, then understood what the archbishop meant, and his face suddenly became as pale as a duke.

"Already...... Is this the point?" he asked in a low voice.

"Pretty much. "In his present situation, it will not be possible to delay it for a few days, and it is time to arrange these things." ”

After sending the archbishop away, the butler was a little depressed - he had served the duke for many years, he was loyal, and he expected to be older, and he usually worked harder, and probably died before the duke, but he didn't expect that the duke was only in his early forties, and he had already reached the point where he had to arrange the aftermath.

But he also knew that this matter could not be delayed, and hurriedly sent someone to invite several of the duke's children to come over - in order to ensure the prosperity of the family, the duke had arranged for his children to be lords in various newly acquired territories, and now they were just coming and were busy consolidating their rule, and if it was not a last resort, they should not be allowed to let go of their affairs and delay their time.

The duke's children soon received the news and hurried to the city, and when they saw the duke, who was described as withered and had only one breath more than a dead man, more than one of them cried.

But crying did not solve the problem, and the duke, with the help of the priesthood, forcibly lifted his spirits, and arranged the handover of titles, territories, caravans, and various other things.

His eldest son had a sad face, only promised, and looked loyal and pure.

But when the Duke couldn't help but fall asleep again, and they each went to deal with their own affairs, as the person who had already determined that he would inherit the "Duke of Norma", he finally couldn't help but laugh.

Laughed pleasantly.

That night, the Duke woke up in his bed.

He didn't call out to the maid or the butler, but just lay quietly and watched the moonlight outside the window.

The moonlight is like a hook, and the night breeze is bleak.

He sighed silently, pondering what else he had to arrange.

At this moment, he saw a black shadow flash, and an unusually tall and hideous figure appeared in front of him.

He naturally recognized this person, and his eyes widened suddenly, and he wanted to shout, but the other party held his mouth down.

"I'm not here to kill you. Yunero said, "The way you are now, I probably don't need my hands." ”

With that, he let go of his hand and stood beside the bed.

Looking at his intimidating and oppressive figure, the Duke calmed down because of fear instead, and asked, "Did you spread the rumors before?"

Yunero smiled, "I thought you would ask more important questions, but I didn't expect to ask such meaningless things. Did I spread it, and it makes any difference to you?"

The duke thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "You're right, I made a mistake myself, so I can't blame others for using it." It doesn't make a difference whether it's the rumors you're spreading or not. ”

He was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do with my children?"

"It's not a disaster for my family. "I've always been a good talker, so you don't have to worry about them." As long as they don't die, I won't do them any favor—but they don't have to die, right?"

The Duke furrowed his eyebrows for a long time, and finally seemed to have figured out something, and let out a long sigh, revealing a somewhat indifferent smile.

"You're right, I just died on my own to end up like this. They...... Who knows!"

After a few more moments, he said, "I'm sorry. ”

"I'm not here to hear you apologize. Yunero shook her head, "I'm just here to see what you look like in the end, to put an end to our grievances - your apology means nothing to me, it won't help me, and I don't need it." ”

"So, does it help you to see me come to such a tragic end?"

Yunero smiled: "When I see you now, I think of you at the beginning, of the Norma Line, of those happy years of battle—I have a friend, who is a bard, and he said a few words of poetry about your situation: I saw him raise the Zhu Tower, I saw him feast guests, I saw his building collapse...... What do you think?"

The Duke sighed deeply, he wanted to refute two sentences, but there was nothing to say.

The Norma family has indeed reached the time when the building has collapsed and the wall has fallen.

Thinking of this, he felt that his body was tired, and he couldn't even lift up a little strength.

"I'm tired. He said.

Yunero didn't answer, and looked at him quietly.

The Duke closed his eyes and wanted to get a good night's sleep.

His breathing slowly subsided, becoming longer and longer, more and more soothing, but suddenly, he was awakened by a nightmare again, and he opened his eyes in a hurry, and he screamed.

Yunero was no longer around, and the maid and the butler hurried in to serve him.

Then he fell asleep again, and soon after, he was awakened by a nightmare.

And so on and so forth.

............

A few days later, the Duke was buried in the Norma family's newly built cemetery, which was much smaller than the Norma region and completely unworthy of the status of a duke.

After the funeral, the new duke hurriedly took over all kinds of powers, and the huge cemetery was empty, and even the tomb keepers were only in the distant hut, and there was no cemetery to look at even a little.

Next to the huge tombstone in front of the tomb, the traversers lined up in a circle.

"It's so cheap to let him die like this!" said Harley, a berserker who had formed a strong friendship with Yunero in guerrilla warfare, "supposedly he should have been hacked to death with an axe!"

"What is the bravery to kill a man who has only half a breath left?" said Yunero with a smile, "What's more...... Hacking him to death with an axe is too cheap for him!"

The loyal dragonman stared at the tombstone with a sarcastic smile.

"He made me feel uncomfortable for so long, and I thought that it would be fair and reasonable to make him feel uncomfortable all the time. ”
