Chapter 1132: Shadows of the Past
Once, in the eyes of a little girl, the world was bright and colorful. There are also parents who love her, relatives who love him, cousins who play together, and many more people who take care of her in the palm of their hands.
But it's easier than you think to lose it all. And the change came very suddenly. Destruction comes from the most familiar strangers.
On that day, the gracious uncle pressed on his mother, who was undressed, and put his hands on her neck. Then the mother never got up again.
On the same day, seeing his mother who couldn't move, his crying father didn't notice the uncle who was hiding. It wasn't until the uncle took a knife and stabbed him in the back that he realized he was there. But soon, my father won't move. And the bright red of that place became the last color in my memory.
And that day, the last self to be found in hide and seek only remembered that he kept screaming and screaming. Because it hurts, it hurts......
And then in the following days, I don't know if I should grow up or not. My mother and father, who loved me, no longer showed up, and hugged me as if they didn't want me.
And in order not to feel that kind of pain again, I just want to stay in my room, and I don't want to see anyone. Until someone can tell me that I won't be in that pain again. But, no......
Those rough hands, the terrifying face, even when I close the door, often appear in my dreams. Where else can I escape, to escape that terrible man?
Save me...... Help me......
The little girl's lingering nightmare has now become the old man's home. When the picture in his memory, only blood and gray are mixed, what kind of pain can bring about such a change, the old duke has never experienced. However, when he realized that this was the world as his own granddaughter saw it, the heart-rending feeling almost made him breathless.
And the terrifying face in that memory may have been distorted to the point that it is impossible to see as it is, but the old duke knows it well. This is a mystery that there is no such sentence, or anything like that, otherwise the old man would have said: Even if this thing is burned to ashes, he will recognize it.
At the helm of the Risa family of the Gwana Empire, Grand Duke Angie Rissa......
When Kavi saw all this, he didn't even ask for any other evidence, or questioned whether it was credible. A lot of things are like puzzles, scattered and unrelated. But when the most important piece comes along, putting the whole puzzle together, the whole picture is pretty clear.
In the second half of his life, there were many things that took a rather unusual turn. But because he couldn't find any more clues, the old duke could only classify the strange intuition that plagued him into his own suspicious attitude. Especially in the case of losing his son and losing his wife not long after, even if he has a brave performance on the battlefield, he can't stand the mourning of one after another.
Among them, the most confusing thing for the old duke is the change of the Duke of Rissa.
Risa and himself, but the current emperor accompanied his attendants at a time when he was not even a crown prince. Although there were disputes with each other at that time, they could still be regarded as comrades-in-arms and jointly assisted the prince.
The emperor ascended the throne, and his opposing position with Risa at the beginning was actually more like a good show for the emperor. The admonition from the elders is that if the subordinates are united, it is the one who sits on the supreme seat who will be worried. Therefore, the disputes from each other's forces have never stopped, but the two sides have also kept the situation under control and have always maintained such a tacit understanding.
But when he came back from the battle, after hearing the bad news of Mozi's death, everything began to go wrong.
Because of the loss of his son and the serious illness of his beloved wife, he not only had to move back to his own territory at that time, so that his beloved son could enter the family cemetery, but also let his wife go back to recuperate. So at that time, he asked the emperor for a long leave, and entrusted the power of the court to this 'companion', who was also friend and foe. This is to avoid subordinates who don't know the truth from fighting out of control and getting out of control.
How did I know that when I returned to the court a year later, everything was different. After a major blood change in the court, none of the forces related to him existed.
Whether it's government affairs or military affairs, all I see are strange young people. One by one, the former friends returned to their respective territories to retire, leaving only the Duke of Risa as the helmsman of this huge country, still in the same position, holding the hand of the empire.
And this friend, who was not so close in the past, also changed the tacit understanding in the past, and pressed himself from all aspects, whether it was in government affairs, personal morality, or private affairs in the family territory. There is even a taste of immortality.
Originally, the old duke thought that this was a signal that the emperor wanted to send, that is, to hand over the affairs of the empire to other young people, so that they could have a chance to grow. So he gave in and handed over the only remaining dark lines in the court that had not been cleared to his eldest son, and asked him to stay and assist the emperor. He returned to the territory and lived a life of retirement.
Even so, the swords and swords from the palace did not stop for a day. It's just that because the road is far away and it's on your own turf, the damage isn't so scary.
Now it seems that this so-called act of 'forcing oneself to give way to young people' is actually a secret practice that the other party intends to kill them all. While you don't know the truth, you want to beat yourself to death in one go before you can react! A one-and-done approach.
Quite right! Couldn't be more right! In other words, instead of apologizing and finding a way to atone for your sins, it is better to take all the opponents you offended. A family of young and old, half of which is not left! In this way, there is really no worries.
I still remember my son's wife, the daughter of a small nobleman, and a famous beauty in the capital. There are many suitors, including some old men, who just hope that she can become a secret lover.
It was originally a marriage with the wrong door and the wrong household. But he can't help but love this little son the most, he has a very reliable eldest brother, and he has no ambition to climb up, so he lets him choose the woman he likes to marry. Not to mention that it's still a mutual relationship.
I still remember the news of my son's death, and the person who dealt with everything in the first place, it was this friend who was quite close to him. In his own family, it was already a few days before someone of sufficient weight came forward.
I still remember that I inadvertently saw that face full of resentment. I thought it was Risa who wanted to make room for the young man, so I complained that the old immortal was still an eyesore in the palace, so I had that expression.
Originally...... It's all a misunderstanding.
Damn misunderstanding!
