Fires and loud cries.

Is it a dream?

I guess so......

Otherwise, why would there be a red flame burning on my mother's body......

"Mino, you must be happy. ”

In the dream, the mother is still so gentle, and her eyes are full of love and reluctance for herself.

Reluctant......

Why is there such reluctance in my mother's eyes......

Tears glistened gently across Mino's face.

"Alas......" Weifeng glanced at Minow, who was lying on the bed and weeping, and Cole, who was silent, and left the room helplessly.

"Mino, hasn't she woken up yet?"

Elsa asked Weifeng with red and swollen eyes.

"When I woke up, I didn't speak, I just stayed there and wept silently. If it continues like this, I'm afraid her body won't be able to stand it. ”

"Where's Mr. Cole?"

Father and daughter, like each other, did not speak. Aunt Muzhu's departure hit them too hard. ”

Since that day, Mino has been in a coma for three days. During these three days, Mino kept crying when he woke up, and went back to sleep when he was tired of crying.

Cole, grieving the death of his wife, has been silently by his daughter's side since that day.

"Weifeng, you can accompany Minoan more, I don't mind......"

Weifeng looked at the red-eyed Elsa, didn't speak, just hugged her in his arms very gently.

After that big war, everyone's mood was the same heavy.

Albert eventually escaped Norvi City. Somewhat surprisingly, it was Chekov's seemingly unsuccessful nephew, Leon, who escorted him away.

Originally, he was in charge of containing the city defense and security forces, and at the last moment, he gathered Chekov's people who brought him to Norvi City, set fire to the city everywhere, caused chaos, and took advantage of the chaos to escort Albert from Norvi City.

As for those who blockaded Norvi City. That night, the Second Army sent five squadrons to encircle and suppress. The encirclement lasted three days, and a total of 47 spies planted by the Holy See in St. Fassenel were killed.

In addition to this, Serena personally ordered. An inventory of several towns around Norvi City was carried out. Any official who behaves abnormally in this incident is to be handed over to the Imperial Prison Department for review. Once it is discovered that there is an eye of the Holy See, or an official who has been bribed by the Holy See privately, he will not be spared.

A massive purge began.

The two lists of the New Regulars also made Hogg send a messenger to Serena again. In a sense, Cole and Luthor represent two factions of the New Rules, the reformers and the radicals.

Most of the reformers who followed Kohl were highly educated nobles who realized that there were some problems in Fassener and wanted to change this situation through reform.

On the contrary, the radicals who followed Luthor were mostly people who came from poor backgrounds but gained a certain social status because of various opportunities. These people have witnessed the darkest side of Fassen, and their ideas have become somewhat radical. In their opinion, only by completely breaking the existing aristocratic system and system can they bring light to Fassen.

As for how to deal with these two types of people, Weifeng believes that Serena has her own decision. His mission in Norvi City has been accomplished, although the cost is a bit high.

These days of sorrow went on for four days.

Four days later, Weifeng arrived at Mino's room as usual. Because of the fear that Mino's touch on the scene, everyone lived in the City Lord's Mansion during this time.

"You're here. Cole said softly.

"Hmm. ”

Weifeng was a little surprised, and for the first time these days, Cole took the initiative to speak to him.

According to the practice of the Showa Imperial Family, after the death of an elder, the descendants should keep a vigil for him for seven days to calm the soul with tears, which means that the children must cry, but they cannot make a sound. Because the tears of children can pave the way for the departed soul to go to the sea of stars, but if you cry, it will make the soul linger in the world and be reluctant to leave. ”

Cole looked at Mino's red and swollen eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"In the past, when Kitake talked to us about this, Minoan and I always felt like we were listening to a story. How can a man only shed tears and not cry out loud? But, but now, this kid ...... Really did it......"

Cole, whose voice became choked, leaned over and hugged Mino tightly. Weifeng on the side also had red eyes.

"Today is the seventh day. I wish you could promise me one thing. ”

You say. ”

"Mino's heart for you, Mu Zhu and I can see it. I don't want to ask you for anything, but take Mino with you when you leave. ”

"Then you ......"

"You don't have to worry about me, I still have mercenary guild and new rules to deal with. I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of her when I'm busy. ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Weifeng hesitated slightly, but still agreed.

"There are other things that I don't know whether to say or not. I know that you and Her Highness Elsa have a deep relationship, but I still hope that you will try to accept Mino. At the very least, don't avoid her. Like Kichiku, I want Mino to be happy. ”

"I ......"

"You don't have to say it now. Just jot down what I said, and if one day you start to get confused, think about what I said today. ”

"I see, Mr. Cole. ”

The next day, Cole and Mino packed up some of Muzhu's clothes and jewelry, and erected a mound for Muzhu by the stream on the outskirts of the city.

Weifeng and Elsa looked at the father and daughter next to each other in the back, their hearts were still a little heavy, but they knew that both Cole and Mino had sorted out their moods and were ready for the rest of their lives.

"I used to hate my mother's unpalatable food, but I can't eat it anymore......"

Mino's eyes were still red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse.

Cole touched Mino's head and comforted, "There are some things that I haven't told you because I think you're still young." Your mother, she hasn't been able to let go of the past all these years. The country hates family hatred, and Muzhu has carried too many things. ”

Cole remembered those late nights, when Muzhu got up alone and sat quietly in the courtyard.

"So, you should be happy for your mother. Minglan has an old saying, seek benevolence and get benevolence, and this time, Muzhu finally followed her own heart.

Mino couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

"But...... But I still miss her, woo......"

"Muzhu's greatest wish is that you can be happy and brave, Mino. ”

Under the sunset, the father and daughter are shadows that are stretched for a long time. The clear stream seems to flow tirelessly forever. Perhaps it is precisely because they do not have as many joys, sorrows and sorrows as humans that they will not stop because of this.
