Chapter 218: Deep Water

But these are things of the past, and Catherine's description is not very detailed, in fact, it is said that after Hyde's grandfather was killed in battle during a sailing expedition at the age of fifty, his elven princess disappeared, some say that he died with the prince, some say that he died because of grief, and some say that he returned to the land of the High Elves. This became a mystery for the Duchy of Tubaro, and even the gossipy Catherine didn't know about it.

But in a sense, this is also the normal result of the union of humans and elves, because the gap between hundreds of years of life cannot be bridged, and the long youth of elves is beyond the reach of humans. A hundred and twenty-year-old high elf civilian looked no more than a thirty-one or twelve-year-old human, and his human lover had long since turned to dust, and the elven aging generally occurred rapidly in the years leading up to his death, which was very different from the slow aging of humans. In fact, an elf who lives in human society often goes through more than six or seven marriages, accompanies his lover for about ten to twenty years, and it is their practice to disappear quietly after the child is Chengren.

"Love with the short-lived is always a beautiful and fleeting bubble, and the wise people of Ussuan see beauty in the bubbles, and the confused people of Ussuan will turn themselves into a bubble of sadness. ”

This is a famous quote from Ultus, an exiled nobleman of Ursuan who became famous in the Empire a hundred years ago, this handsome elven mercenary knight has forged eighty-two relationships with Bretonnia in the Empire, leaving behind more than 100 half-breed children until he died in a duel with a Chaos Demon. This also has meaning, because once the delicate High Elf is truly emotional, it is likely to die quickly due to the death of his lover, and hundreds of years of youth and everything will be in vain.

In fact, it is said that Telds's sister is the epitome of "turning into a bubble" and is an example of what elves take to take prey. The beautiful elven girl fell in love with a human warrior and died a month after the human warrior was killed, when she was no more than eighteen years old. Once the deep and sensitive heartstrings of the high elves are truly touched, the flame of love will burn them out, which is in a sense why the elves are reluctant to give their true affection to humans, but only pursue short-lived dewy couples.

"The blood of the dragon and white lion is the product of hatred and negative hearts!"

So the territory of the empire also left such a famous saying, many of the half-elves raised by human mothers hate pure-blood elves. Of course, this is not an absolute rule, because there are many half-elves who have a friendly relationship with the elves. But one thing is certain, people who possess the blood of the dragon and white lion are prone to fall into unjustified mania at a young age, especially the original "dragon and white lion", that is, people who have half of the elven blood.

And now Hyde witnessed this scene with her own eyes, because the half-elf girl named "Ann" was obviously immersed in her sadness and loss, and the rolling battle energy surging out of her body like a tidal wave, shaking the pages and the impact of the candles. Hyde could feel that amazing power, it was a power that had surpassed Jessica's original strength!

"Ann, I didn't say to let you leave me, please don't lose your temper in front of our honored guests, okay?"

Marshal Yang's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a sad expression floated up his cheeks. Hyde could feel the affection in the eyes of the great marshal, the heart of a father with worry and love for his daughter, but the girl in front of him seemed to hear it at all.

"Dear Daddy, please look at my power! Please see if I can be your sword!"

With that childish voice tinged with sadness, the short-haired girl swung her scaly fist with her left fist. Unexpectedly, she actually launched an attack on Marshal Yang, which surprised Hyde and almost stood up.

"The power of this blow is much stronger than that of the original Slaanesh Knight Tigal, no, it is even more powerful than Miss Jessica...... Is she kidding?"

The thought of the carbide flash through Hyde's mind in an instant, and Ann's blow carried an indescribable momentum. In fact, the "three tricks to catch General Lukin" that this girl in a beautiful black and white lace dress who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old said was probably not a joke, because the angry battle spirit and force had already flooded the entire cabin, and the deck and bulkhead seemed to tremble in the raging tide. At this moment, Hyde felt as if he had suddenly returned to the battlefield, and he couldn't help but want to block it.

"Ann, let it all go and get a good night's sleep, okay?"

But Marshal Yang's reaction was far faster than Hyde's, and between the unsightly calcium carbide fire, he had already caught Ann's attack. The half-elf girl's monstrous battle intent was instantly dissolved and invisible, and Hyde didn't even feel the compulsion emanating from the marshal's body. The black-haired marshal was like a pool of clear water that could not measure its depth, and his hidden power made Hyde feel mysterious subconsciously.

"En......"

Somehow, the half-elf girl in a black and white lace dress suddenly fell crooked, lying limply in the crook of the black-haired marshal's arm, with a trace of tears on her long eyelashes. She meekly agreed, and then fell asleep quietly, like a kitten happily nestled in the arms of a loved one.

"Ann, this kid is sometimes too excited, and I'm really sorry to make your Highness laugh. ”

After carrying An to the bed and carefully covering the bearskin, Marshal Yang calmly apologized to Hyde for taking off his hat. Everything was back to normal, except for a few stacks of paper flying to the floor and a small statue slumped on the table, other than that, everything was normal, and the half-elf girl's earth-shattering punch had just become a dream.

"Your Excellency Marshal, there is nothing to be sorry for, this is the trouble I have caused, and it is me who should apologize. ”

Hyde also hurriedly bent down to salute the black-haired marshal, the sudden incident just now made him a little confused, and he didn't know if it was better to leave.

"My noble Highness, I am grateful that you do not blame Ann for her rudeness. Ann is a hard-working child, she has lost the person who loves her twice, so she is more sensitive. ”

The black-haired generalissimo humbly greeted Hyde, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness, and his fingers subconsciously clenched the teacup.

"But I am sure she will be happy with a great and loving father like you and a mother like Miss Greenhill. Seriously, you are such a caring father, which makes me envious. ”

Somehow, Hyde couldn't help but speak his mind. may have been moved by Yang Shuai's gentleness towards An. As the black-haired marshal carefully covered his adopted daughter with a bear skin and tucked the corners of the quilt, Hyde suddenly felt an indescribable sourness, an indescribable sourness.

"I'm just an incompetent father, and you've won the prize, noble Highness Hyde. ”

Marshal Yang turned his head and looked at the sleeping girl on the marching bed, his voice becoming very low. The red fire was still burning, but the air seemed to be getting colder, as if the cold wind from the north was seeping into the small cabin.

"You are not an incompetent father, an incompetent father is the one who throws his own flesh and blood into the mouths of wolves and beasts, an incompetent father is one who never gives love and warmth to his children, and an incompetent father is the one who causes his child's loving mother to sleep in the forest, that is an incompetent father!"

Hyde stood up suddenly, he had too many words to pour out at this moment, he had endured it for too long, he wanted to say it too much! Just say all this heartache! The unforgettable scene in the Black Forest seemed to appear in front of him again, and tears gradually blurred his eyes.

"His Royal Highness ...... Hyde"

The black-haired marshal looked at the excited knight in front of him, and his words suddenly stopped. Hyde saw that his hand also trembled slightly, as if he was experiencing a great psychological conflict.
