Chapter 043: (Wealth of Power)

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the sky was like a washed blue-black coarse cloth, and the stars seemed to be shimmering gold sprinkled on this coarse cloth. The earth was already asleep, and the breeze under the starry trees floated the mournful cries of crickets.

Iris lay in bed and couldn't sleep for a long time. From the past to the present, his thoughts were all entangled together, he didn't dare to think about the future, he was just thinking. "Father, is he okay? What about Master Gyloron and Master Marco? Are they thinking about me?"

Memories swept through his mind like lightning. Different faces flashed in front of him, like a marquee, turning, turning...... Turn......

The stern and cold face of his father, the handsome and easy-going smiling face of Gylrenville, the amiable pale face of Master Marco, and the most beautiful face of his mother, who was gentle and loving. I'm away from her again, she's going to miss me, she's going to feel lonely...

Iris lay tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. He got up and walked to the window, and the scent of the night filled the air outside the window, weaving a soft net that enveloped all the scenes.

All Iris's eyes touched was something covered with this soft net, and no grass or tree was as realistic as it was in the daytime. They all have vague, ethereal colors, each of which hides its subtleties and keeps its secrets, giving him a dreamlike feeling.

In the quiet of the night, Iris looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and his mood suddenly brightened. The evening breeze brushed his cheeks, and he felt cool.

"Boy, can't you sleep?" suddenly came a man's thick voice behind him.

Iris's face turned as white as window paper, and he turned around in panic before asking, "Bearded, how did you get in?"

"I said I was always there for you. In the night light, a stocky but stocky figure stepped out of the darkness of the room.

"What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night when you don't go to bed?" Iris muttered dissatisfied. He was really taken aback just now.

Iris distinctly remembers that before she went to bed, she had bolted the latch. "How did the bearded man get in?" he guessed. "Did you climb in through a window? But my room is on the highest floor of the castle, at least fifty feet above the ground. 」

"I just woke up, and it's in your room. Tormund snorted. He still carried a delicate longbow and a few sharp arrows, a wide short sword and a few sharp throwing axes at his waist. It's just that there are two fewer arrows.

Iris looked at the other in confusion. "Why didn't I find you?" he asked, puzzled, "where are you sleeping?"

"Close to you. Tormond prompted.

"Do you want to play a pantomime again?" Iris frowned slightly.

"That way the conversation between us will be interesting. Tormund grinned.

By the silver moonlight from the sky, Iris looked at the layout around the room, which was simply furnished, with a large bed, a wardrobe, a square wooden table and a few chairs and stools, and a few paintings hanging on the walls around it, but nothing else.

He had already guessed where the bearded man slept. Since the other party doesn't want to say it, then he doesn't plan to say it either. But he had to let the other party know where he was hiding. He thought about it seriously and muttered, "Isn't it cool to sleep there?"

"It's hot, isn't it?" said Tormond, who enjoyed the conversation, which kept his mind active.

The other party's answer made Iris a little helpless, but he was not discouraged. "Is it really necessary?"

Since he was a child, except for Hart, who dared to disobey his father's orders and secretly take care of his daily life, he didn't even have a servant by his side who could call him, but now there was an inseparable guard in front of him. This made him a little unaccustomed.

"Lord Eddard's orders are my duty. Tormund replied categorically. "And it's Tormond's job to keep you safe. "Giant Buster – is an honorary title he is proud of.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Iris said impatiently.

"There are some things that you don't need to know, and knowing the way will complicate things. Tormund shook his head, trying to dispel his worries.

"I can guess that I'm not stupid!" Iris said stubbornly, "I don't know who is trying to hurt me, but I know that my father knows that someone wants to hurt me, and he even knows who that person is, so he sends his bravest warriors to protect me." ”

Iris didn't wait for the other to speak, and said, "I also noticed that there are two arrows missing from the quiver behind you, maybe there are no bears in the woods at all, but the people who want to hurt me are hiding in the woods waiting for an opportunity, and you just used those two arrows to deal with them." ”

"Boy, you're smart and observant. Tormond complimented. "But that's not enough, you also have to turn into a formidable powerhouse. ”

Iris didn't want to be a formidable powerhouse at all, he didn't even want to be a knight. He asked a little harshly: "I just want to know who wants to hurt me, why does anyone want to hurt me?"

"Anyone but your father can be the one who hurts you," said Tormond, with a solemn face, "and you were born into the most powerful family, and you know nothing! ”

"Don't play dumb riddles with me," Iris said angrily, "just tell me, who is that man?"

Tormond frowned and pondered, and finally he decided not to hide it anymore, but to tell the boy the truth of the matter. He replied slowly, "It's your cousin......"

Iris couldn't believe his ears, as if he had been hit in the head by a bolt from the blue, and as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, and his whole body was numb. "Edward?" he stared at him with suspicion, "it can't be, it can't be him, he wouldn't do that to me." ”

"I didn't say it was him. "Whoever it is, it's too cruel for this boy. Tormund thought to himself. "But sooner or later he'll find out about it, and I'm just telling him in advance. 」

"Rutgers?"

"Yes!" said Tormond's voice.

"What the hell," Iris said, with a look of disbelief. "Why did he send someone to hurt me?" he felt like a leaf being blown off, feeling infinitely lost.

"For power and wealth. The giant's nemesis did not change color, and replied in a deeper voice.

"These are all Rutgers have," Iris retorted, "he has fiefdoms, titles, and riches in the North, and he lacks nothing. He stood there with a pale face and did not move, only to feel a cold sweat running down his spine.

"His meagre power and wealth are nothing compared to what your father had. Tormond's expression was solemn and serious. "What he wants is the inheritance of the entire southern province. ”

The Knights of Sanction – the Black Hawk Infantry Legion – the Thunderbolt Crossbow Battalion – whoever has the backing of these three world-famous armies and the entire rich southern province is qualified to dominate. Tormund knew very well in his heart that not many people could resist this **.

"But we are relatives, brothers whose blood dissolves in water. Iris felt himself drowned in a cruel lonely darkness that enveloped everything.

"You are not brothers of the same mother, and besides, with the power and wealth, even brothers may become worthless," said Tormond's tone, which gradually became a little more eerie and chilling. "It becomes possible to turn one's back and kill each other at will. ”

"I can give it all to him if he wants to. Iris argued bitterly.

"That's the vanity and never-ending nobility that comes with power and wealth," said Tormond, looking at him, "and when you understand all this, you won't say such stupid things again." He smiled sharply and hurtfully.

"Then I'll give it all to him before then. "Iris's stiff interface. He doesn't want it all, he doesn't want power and wealth, he just wants to live happily.

"Your father will not put the hopes of the Harongoth family in the hands of a wicked man who would be able to commit such a cruel act as killing his relatives. Tormund frowned and reminded the boy in front of him, "This is your fate, and you should accept your fate's arrangement, not think about pushing it out." ”

"Is my father in danger?" Iris asked abruptly, uneasily, "will he send someone to hurt my father?"

"No one can hurt your father," Tormund assured him. "Gylorroville will always protect the safety of adults, and no one is a match for the 'Champion Knights'. ”

A spasm of pain appeared on Iris's face, and he looked at the other with a feeble look of despair. "Father, if Rutgers wants to hurt me, why does he want me to leave the castle, and why does he want me to get out of his protection?"

"You've got too many questions, kid. ”

Iris shouted indignantly, "I command you, answer my questions. ”

"Boy, the day you become Duke of Harongoth comes to give me orders, and only then will I obey your orders. Tormond replied in a tone that left no room for argument. "Now it's time for you to sleep. ”
