"What we're thinking about is responsibility, responsibility to our family, responsibility to our friends, responsibility to practicality, and responsibility to ourselves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Catherine's expression was serious and holy, and she said in a knightly declarative tone: "Whether knights or nobles, since they are born as human beings, they must bear their own responsibilities, but now the responsibility of our family is to make up for our own mistakes and pay off the debts of the family, whether you need it or not. ”

"But as I said, you are not responsible for that incident at all. Snape shook his head, "There's no need to be responsible. ”

"No, everybody, when he does what he wants, he has to be mentally prepared to take responsibility for all the consequences of what he has done, and if he can't bear the consequences, then he shouldn't have done it in the first place. Catherine did not hide her evaluation of her ancestors at all, and said seriously: "Grandfather made mistakes, and his greatest mistake was to be carried away by the faint hope of experimentation, and to do things that he could not bear the consequences." He was actually very aware that the success rate of synthetic high-energy hedron was actually very low, but the greed of a mage and scholar for the unknown made him lose his mind. If he had calmed down and spread the experiments that had been going on for a few years over the next ten years, neither he nor you would have gotten to where he is today, but unfortunately, he didn't do that, but instead invested more money and energy in a frenzy. I don't know what grandfather was thinking at the time, but I knew that by the time he woke up from his greed for knowledge and realized what he had done, it was too late, and he could no longer bear the consequences with his ability, and even if he did his best to make amends, he would not be able to stop the situation from happening, nor would he be able to prevent your fortune from slipping to the point where it was not even what it was at the beginning. It's true that you never blame your grandfather, you always think that it's not his responsibility, that he didn't do anything wrong, but in fact you don't understand what he really thinks in his heart, he thinks that his mistake is not that the experiment failed and your investment failed, but that he did something he couldn't be responsible for in his madness, and it affected not only yourself, but also your best friend. ”

"Is that the real reason why he insists on paying his debts?" Snape sighed with a wry smile, "I never thought about it. ”

"Everyone can make mistakes, and it's not a terrible thing to make mistakes, as long as you accept punishment after making mistakes, and then try your best to make up for your mistakes, you can wash away the shame of making mistakes. Catherine nodded, "Grandfather made a mistake, almost irreparably wrong, so he sold almost all of his family property to help you through the most difficult time." After the luck succeeded, his punishment for himself was to try his best to repay all the money you spent in vain, not only to return the money to you, but more importantly, to punish himself, so that he would also let future generations remember this lesson forever and never make similar mistakes again. ”

"Oh, that's the case, he never explained these words to me, whew, of course, I may not be able to understand what he explained at that time, in fact, it is difficult for me to understand now. The Marquis of Snape's back was slightly stiff, and his eyes no longer contained sadness, but deep sorrow, and he said softly: "So, did his own choices ultimately lead to death?"

"Yes, it wasn't your debts that caused his death, it was grandfather's own choices. Moreover, death was only an accident, and for my grandfather, death at that time was as shameful as evading responsibility, and if there was any other possibility, he would never be willing to die like that. Catherine gently supported the old man and said: "So there is no need for you to blame yourself for your grandfather's death, really, the root cause of your grandfather's death and father's death is our family's attachment, which has nothing to do with your debts, and it is not fair for you to blame yourself for this." ”

"Then I'd do too. Snape suddenly glared, and said very unreasonably: "Allow your family to carry a responsibility that obviously does not exist, and punish yourself for inexplicable mistakes, and you will not allow me to blame myself for unfair reasons? I just blame myself for the death of old Field, I just want to blame myself for the death of little Field, why, I can't control you, I can't stop you from sneaking money into my house, can you still control what I think in my heart?"

"Okay, you're right, you're right. Catherine laughed and coaxed the awkward old man, and said in a helpless soft voice: "No one can affect your thoughts, who made you Grandpa Snape." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. The old man snorted heavily, and said in a muffled voice: "What about you and your father, you two didn't make a mistake, why are you also messing around, old field is old and confused at a young age, are you also old and confused?"

"I guess my father and I don't think the same. Catherine didn't care about Snape's complaints, and grinned back to the old man and said: "Father is because of the sense of honor of the noble, and I am because of the sense of responsibility of the knight, whether it is a nobleman or a knight, or even just an ordinary commoner, trustworthiness is a necessary virtue." The promises of the ancestors, the responsibilities of the ancestors, the faults of the ancestors, he can no longer continue to carry them, then we, as inheritors, have the responsibility and obligation to bear them, and only after all this is completed, we are qualified to really raise our heads and live. So, you are not right before, this debt is not a constraint for us, on the contrary, it is the key to unlock the shackles of our ancestors' guilt, can you understand that?"

The old man closed his eyes, was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes again, snorted heavily, and said with a bad attitude: "If you are willing to carry it, then carry it, but you remember it for me, since you are willing to continue to carry it, then you still owe me 40 million gold coins, you just said, in the face of responsibility, death is an escape, and you knights can never escape." Therefore, in order to continue to fulfill your responsibilities, in order to continue to work hard to make money to pay off your debts, you give me back alive, and you are absolutely and absolutely not allowed to die in the forest. ”

"Of course, Grandpa. Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright and confident smile on her face, and nodded: "I promise to do my best to come back alive, so that I won't die inside, don't worry, when I come back, I will work hard to make money and pay off all the debts." ”

"Nonsense, nonsense. The old man suddenly became angry again, and said loudly, "Your grandfather said this the last time he saw me, and never came back, and you dare to say something like that now, do you know where he went that time?" )
