A few days later, the elder Jacob returned to his house in Brad's domain.

The journey had left him tired, but in the foreseeable future, he would be even more tired.

Esther and the maid came to meet him at the door, they hardly recognized him at first, the old man had only been gone for a week, and looked as if he had been away for a century, his forehead was wrinkled more than before, his cheeks were sunken, his bloodshot eyes protruded from his sockets, and his back was much heavier, and his steps were unsteady when he got out of the carriage, and Esther carried him into the house, and told the maid to hurry up and bring water.

Esther helped his grandfather into a chair, took off his coat and shoes, and hammered him on the shoulder, but the old man did not look at the water that the maid brought to him, as if it did not exist.

His eyes looked through the whole room, and at last they were fixed on the doorpost, which was now bare, but not when he left.

"What about that thing?" He said gloomily.

"Give it to him."

It was an unexpected opening and answer from old Jacob, who stared at his granddaughter, who looked up at him with calm eyes, her jet-black hair neatly combed, and a bright rose on it, similar to the color of her lips.

The old man's heart trembled with fear, he used to be so busy with business that he forgot that his granddaughter was no longer small. He tried his best to calm down, and asked sharply—

"He? Who? ”

"My brother."

This answer is a little better than the worst one: "You don't have a brother anymore." ”

"He took it, and he's my brother."

"So what!" Old Jacob was furious, "He's converted now, he'...... In that crowd there is no clean food. ”

"He'll pay attention."

"Whoa! If he had been paying attention, he shouldn't have done that! What is he trying to do? He ......" The old man said this, and his voice choked: "What am I trying to make money for!" "It's something he's thinking about along the way.

"Revenge." Esther replied softly.

"Huh...... What? ”

"In the palace of the king of Persia, the enemies of our people, despairing that our people should be honored before the king, proposed to the king that they should kill all our people and rob us of our riches, and the man with my name avenged us and killed our enemies. If she does not go to the heathen, she will not take revenge. ”

This is something that the old man did not think, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, and ......" He originally wanted to say that his grandson's behavior was rash, but when he thought about it, he couldn't open his mouth.

"You didn't listen to me then, and I think your heart was filled with anger, and it took a while for you to listen."

The old man was a little remorseful at this time, and he asked again, "But is this true?" ”

"Had he not taken what I had sent, if he hadn't lived among the infidels far from the synagogue?"

"Ahh He sighed, stood up, walked around twice without a head, and then said with some stumbling: "But Esther, I'm going out this time...... It's not actually business. ”

"Are you going to collect the bills?"

"No...... I've found you a husband," the old man now thinks that this thing is done in a bit too hasty.

This sentence made his granddaughter blush and bow her head.

"The sons of the priests of Thundertown, as old as you," said old Jacob, "and they will come next month...... Uh, you can look at him, if not......"

He paid a great deal of money for the marriage: three thousand silver coins, a hundred woollen wool, ten horses, all the wedding gifts, and the living expenses of the young couple for the next ten years, all to prevent his granddaughter from going down the wrong path.

But if the granddaughter doesn't mean that...... He would rather bear the loss than force Esther.

"It's all up to you." She said.

When the maid came back with the freshly milked milk, she didn't know that a major event had been decided in the house.

"We're going to make a new prayer box." Esther said.

"Yes." Old Jacob nodded, he felt the need to ask the priest for a few more amulets, but how could he give them into the hands of his grandson so that he would suffer less?

They didn't know that Tim was suffering from torture they couldn't have imagined.
