Along the way, Nero observes the territory of the Alexy family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared to the Imperial City, the area here is definitely far less, and there is no heavy guard there. But this place, there are flowers everywhere, many of which Nero has never seen, and the whole large estate exudes a light and leisurely atmosphere, which makes people feel relaxed, and along the way, the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

Led by the hostess, Nero came to a beautifully decorated courtyard, a place full of wisteria flowers, giving people a beautiful enjoyment.

In the middle of the courtyard, an elderly man in a wheelchair with his back to them, caressing a golden retriever, and several children playing beside him.

"Grandpa, there's a guest coming. ”

One of the little girls pointed to the door, her face filled with a kind of happiness that could easily infect the people around her.

The hostess walked over, came to the old man's side, and said softly beside him, "The Lionheart Princess of the Lionheart Empire has arrived. ”

The old man nodded and said to the children, "Okay, grandpa wants to see the guests, you can go somewhere else to play first." ”

The children ran away as they heard the quick words, and as they passed by Nero, some greeted her, some grimaced at her, full of innocence. This couldn't help but remind Nero of her own childhood, at this age, she had been training hard in the barracks, as if she had never had a smile like them.

The wheelchair turned.

The first thing the old man gave her was that he seemed to be cold.

In this warm climate, he was dressed in a thick cotton shirt, and his whole body seemed to be curled up in the collar. His hair was gone, not the shaved bald head, but the natural loss of light. The old man feels as if he is in his twilight years, but even so, his eyes are full of open-mindedness and optimism, as well as profound wisdom......

He is the current patriarch of the Alexy family, and the best friend of the Lionheart in his youth, Alek Alexi.

"You're the girl who got the Star Crown?"

The old man looked at Nero with curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes uncle," said Nero, bowing quietly, "I am Nero?" ”

"I've heard about you," the old man looked Nero up and down carefully, nodded and said, "It seems that that guy's vision is not bad, and he has accepted you as a righteous daughter." ”

"It's over, uncle," Nero politely accepted the compliment.

"I don't know if you're interested in accompanying the old man and me for a ride and chatting," the old man's eyes flashed, "It's been a long time since I've been to the Lionheart Empire, and you can also talk to me about the situation over there." ”

Seeing that Madame made an inviting gesture and pointed to the old man's wheelchair, Nero understood what she meant and walked over.

"It's a great honor. ”

Approaching the old man's side, Nero gently pushed up the wheelchair, and the old man pointed to the large house in front of him to show where to go.

In this line, no one followed, only the docile big golden retriever, wagging his tail.

Entering the tall building, the inside is very bright, revealing a sense of sacred solemnity.

Inside, it's like a labyrinth or a gallery, filled with all kinds of interesting portraits. The portraits are lifelike, each one so fine and perfect, and the craftsmanship is impeccable.

Nero seemed to see something.

"These portraits seem to be the work of the same master?"

"The master doesn't dare to light," the old man smiled, "It's just a little interest when he was young." ”

"It's amazing......" After receiving the reply, Nero's eyes were full of surprise, and she praised the portraits of various styles of landscape figures: "Uncle, you seem to have been to many places. ”

The paintings on this have grasslands, deserts, seas, and plateaus......

"When I was young, one of my dreams was to travel the world," remembered the past, the old man's eyes were full of nostalgia, "At that time, relying on my youth, I came all day long, I could go wherever I wanted, I wanted to record all the beautiful moments in my album, that was the life I wanted the most......"

"Uncle, when you were young, you were really carefree," Nero couldn't help but praise.

In these portraits, she saw the familiar Lionheart Imperial Capital, and along the way, she also saw the familiar Stormwind Tower.

Wait, Stormwind Tower?

When she saw the painting, Nero's whole body froze, and she froze.

The portrait depicts the towers of Stormwind that she was familiar with, and the familiar plains of thunder and roar in the distance, and the subject of this painting is a couple, the woman lovingly caressing her protruding belly, apparently pregnant, and a tall, gentle man beside her, gently draping his wife.

The old man sensed Nero's reaction and followed Nero's gaze to the painting.

"Why, have you been here too?" the old man showed a hint of curiosity: "Lionheart Empire, curiosity is quite far from the Thundering Empire." ”

Nero certainly could not admit such a thing, but pointed to the name of the portrait and said, "Eternal hope, I am curious about the origin of the name of this painting." ”

"I see," the old man smiled, "and it was twenty years ago." At that time, I went to wander in the Thundering Empire, and I walked all the way to the Thundering Plains. Because of my status, the commander there welcomed me warmly, and at the same time warned me not to go any further, for there would be no humans, and the savage orcs would tear me to pieces......"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed, "In the end, I still coaxed and decided to stay in Stormwind City for a few days. In that line, what impressed me the most was the commander and his wife. As the guardian family of the Thundering Empire, the Thorn Flower Family has guarded Stormwind City for generations and blocked the invasion of orcs. At that time, the commander's wife happened to be pregnant, and in the commander's opinion, the child would be the hope for the continuation of everything. However, I was good at catching it, but I remembered the complicated look of the lady at that time......"

The old man paused, and continued: "She was looking forward to the birth of her child, but she was sad, she told me that she was very happy that she was about to become a mother of a child, but she did not want her child to be bound by the so-called mission after birth, she hoped that her child could live her childhood happily like an ordinary child......

Nero looked at the portrait with a twinkle in his eyes.

Are the couple, my parents?

The unborn child, is that me?

It turns out that the appearance of parents is like that......

All this time, Nero had never seen his parents in person, not even a portrait. However, in such an unexpected moment, she fulfilled her wish.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”
