Chapter 005: Crisis is coming
"It's like we look at domestic animals...... In the eyes of 'that group', there is no difference between ordinary people and domestic animals, is that what it means?" Rorschach was a little shocked by the real existence of the 'Shadow Ones', but he was not completely unable to understand this.
"It's cruel, but if you have to say it, it's not unavoidable. Heimkis sighed.
"I see. ”
Rorschach took a deep breath and sighed as well.
"No, young master, you don't understand. Heimkis looked at Rorschach solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "The reason why I chose to tell the young master about this at this time is that I hope that the young master can leave here as soon as possible, take the people you can bring, and leave here as quickly as possible, and go as far as possible!"
"What do you mean?" Rorschach hadn't expected Heimkis to say so suddenly.
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but this time, young master, please trust me...... This matter is simply not something we can handle, and even if the 'Army of Spades' all arrives, there is absolutely no way to stop them. Heimquis's expression was a little anxious.
"Needless to say, I believe you. Rorschach waved his hand and said decisively.
This time, it was Heimquith's turn to be stunned, and he was going to continue to persuade.
"Go, go back, I'll persuade Daddy to leave with us. ”
Without waiting for Heimqis to reply, Rorschach immediately turned around and walked back.
......
Ten minutes later, it was still in the study.
"I disagree. ”
The Earl of Neptune rejected Rorschach's offer.
"Dad, I'm not kidding. Rorschach repeated.
"I'm not kidding you. Earl Neptune shook his head, "This is my castle, and it is surrounded by my fiefs and my subjects, and I cannot escape just because of some danger that may arise." ”
"Earl, I know that you have always had a grudge against me, but I can assure you that this time I am by no means alarmist...... Count, since you have also been in contact with the Shadow Ones, you should know that ordinary people cannot compete with them. Heimkis also spoke at this time, "Choosing to stay and get involved in this matter is very likely to face a 'shadow one', this is no joke!"
"I understand what you say, but I still choose to stay. Earl Neptune was silent for a long time before continuing, "If things do turn out for the worst, I choose to live and die with my subjects...... However, now that you know the dangers that may arise, you need to be prepared for both. ”
With that, Earl Neptune looked at Rorschach again, "You and Heimquis leave here immediately, take Anna and Royce with them, and I will have Martin escort you away to the royal capital for a while." ”
The Royce and Anna mentioned by the Earl of Neptune are both Rorschach's half-brothers, and as a very powerful earl, Neptune is of course more than Rorschach's mother's wife. In addition to Rorschach, the Earl of Neptune has three children, namely the eldest son Royce, the eldest daughter Anna, and the younger daughter Shirley.
Rorschach was the third in the family, but he was most favored by the Earl of Neptune.
One is because Rorschach's mother died early, and Earl Neptune is sorry for this son, and the other is because Rorschach is the least of the four children to worry about Earl Neptune, and it is inevitable to prefer some.
"I'm against it. Rorschach said quietly.
"The objection is invalid. Earl Neptune's voice sounded more resolute, "The choice I made may not be the right one, no, it should be said that it is probably wrong, but I don't want you to be hurt by my choice, do you understand?
At this point, the Earl of Neptune had said that, and Rorschach knew that it was useless to object.
His father's stubbornness is not at all below Heimquis, or even surpasses it, and it is almost impossible to change his mind. In addition, as the Earl of Neptune said, even Rorschach himself was not afraid of danger, but he had to take into account the rest of the people, such as his eldest sister Anna, who had taken good care of him since he was a child, which was one of the main reasons why Rorschach could not refuse the Earl of Neptune.
"I see. Rorschach sighed again.
Today was the day he sighed the most in years.
From the arrival of the 'Army of Spades', to learning of the existence of the 'Shadow Bearers', to the major crisis that is about to come, this day has passed like a movie.
At night, a magnificent carriage moved at a steady pace along the tree-lined path.
Around the luxurious carriage, there were also some guards on horseback, led by a man in heavy armor.
At this moment, a slightly tired female voice came from the luxurious carriage, "Mr. Martin, why don't you find a place here to rest for the night, everyone has not eaten for nearly a day, and they must be hungry." ”
"Yes, Miss Anna. Martin, a man in heavy armor, responded.
After a while, the coachman drove the carriage out of the tree-lined path, and came to a wide clearing in the grove, and the guards around him followed him without leaving an inch.
When the carriage stopped, several people came down from above. At the forefront was a silver-haired boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, needless to say, it was naturally Rorschach.
Immediately behind Rorschach was a girl who looked a few years younger than her, muttering indignantly as she got out of the carriage, "I really don't understand why there is such a timid guy, and he has to run away in advance when nothing has happened, I'm really angry!"
A long day of travel, even if you are sitting in a carriage, makes you girlish.
"Shirley, this is my father's decision, don't mess around. A dark-haired woman who looked to be in her early twenties followed the girl out of the carriage.
"I don't think Shirley is wrong, we, as the descendants of the earl, should not have turned around and fled in the first place, and we have lost all the glory of the nobility. "The last man to come out of the carriage was a man with a fancy sword at his waist, who also looked to be in his twenties.
"Alright, no more, Royce. Anna, a brunette woman, interrupted.
Hearing the sarcasm of the Ming Dynasty from the two half-siblings, Rorschach was not angry at all, anyway, except for the eldest sister Anna, who has always been very close, he didn't take the other two too seriously.
As the saying goes, 'people respect a foot, I respect a foot'.
Rorschach didn't have time to explain to these two so-called relatives who had no feelings.
"Sister Anna is hungry, I brought something good, let's go over there to eat. Rorschach asked with a smile.
"Brother, have you prepared some delicious food again, it's great!" the eldest sister, Anna, jumped into excitement when she heard Rorschach's words, and seemed very interested in Rorschach's proposal.
