"Gui'an, Your Excellency."

The Paladins of the Church of Order greet the archbishop standing in front of the church.

Annan looked at the "good student" who had sent himself to the dungeon not long ago: "The weather is really nice today, I like rainy days, and don't come to my office." ”

"Good teacher."

This time it should be like Valencia......

Annan came to the second floor of the church, and when he stood in front of the door, he suddenly remembered that there was no point in coming again, and returned to the outside of the church: "The flowers have sent some flowers, right?" Give me some and get another carriage ready. ”

He remembered that "the next day" Corlett's gaze paused on the flower cluster.

After a while, the guard brought the blue flower he wanted, and Annan got into the carriage and went to Rosella's house.

Outside the manor again, the butler greeted him and was blocked from the mansion as "yesterday".

"I'm looking for Corlett." Annan said to Rosella, who looks similar to Corlett.

"Uncle, Corlett said she didn't want to see you......" Rosella's gaze fell on the cluster of flowers he was holding, "Are you here to find Lily?" ”

"Well, a father wants to apologize for the mistake he made yesterday."

Rosela opened her mouth in confusion, and the words that had been refused turned into invitations: "Corlett is in the living room, come in......"

Rosella, who betrayed her sister, brought Annan in and ran into Corlet, who was blocking the door.

Her amber eyes fell on the cluster of blue flowers, and her expression moved—a mixture of hatred and intimacy: "You want to make up for the flowers that were not delivered at your mother's funeral?" ”

Didn't even attend the funeral?

Annan couldn't help but whisper: "What an incompetent father......"

"What did you say?"

I said...... It was an accident. ”

"yes, every day is an accident, isn't it? You seldom go home to save people, and you miss banquets to save people......"

Annan's chest quietly straightened: "That's right. The loss of her mother is extremely important...... That's why I want to prevent similar tragedies from happening to other families. ”

The closeness in Corlett's eyes was annihilated little by little, and she was drowned out by hatred: "You haven't changed at all!" ”

She grabbed the doorknob and tried to lock Annan out with Rosella.

Annan didn't want to get nothing on the third day, so he couldn't help but reach out and block the crack in the door.

Bang –

The door panel smashed against Annan's palm, and the instantaneous pain almost made him faint.

"Are you crazy!"

Corlett threw herself at Annan's side in a gaffe, looking at his bloody, trembling palms.

"It's just a trivial punishment...... "Annan forced a smile, "these injuries are nothing compared to what you and your mother have suffered over the years......

But it's hard to hear: an epic priest who is the archbishop of the Church of Order has his hand caught in the door......

"Use the healing technique!"

"No, it's time for me to suffer as an old fellow."

Ignoring him, Corlit unleashed a healing spell to treat the back of Annan's hand that had been smashed to the ground, revealing bones.

But ordinary healing spells have little effect on such a serious wound.

"I'll call the mage!"

A rebellious Rosela ran into the mansion.

Annan didn't refuse again because he was really hurting.

……

Annan sat on the sofa in the living room, his injuries that had been bloody not long ago had recovered as before.

He looked at the doorway to the parlor. Just now, Corrietra ran to the next parlor with Rosela to whisper.

Annan's ears were pointed—or Valencia, or rather, they didn't expect an archbishop to eavesdrop."

“…… I'm helping you ease the relationship. Rossella explained.

"You're meddling."

"Lily, how can you say that about your good sister...... Rosella retorted, "I just don't think Uncle Valencia is as ...... as you say"

"He just wants to drive me away and marry me off!"

"Shh......h Didn't Uncle come to apologize? Doesn't that mean he's changed, on your birthday. ”

"He just came to kick me out of his house......"

"How could it be, our Lily is so considerate, and you keep saying that you understand your father......"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Annan listened quietly, and suddenly realized that Corlet was not so difficult to coax...... At least not as hard as Valencia thought.

"Leave it to me......"

Rosela said, came out of the living room, sat down opposite Annan, and said solemnly: "Uncle, Lily needs to calm down for a while. ”

"I understand." Annan said.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "You're not as ...... as Lily said."

"Because I've done a lot of wrong things in the past, and even yesterday I was doing it." Annan said calmly, he knew that Corlett was eavesdropping behind the door.

"Then you ......"

"Why are you talking to him so much?" Corlett suddenly walked out and drove Annan away indifferently: "Please get out of here." ”

Replaced by a real Valencian archbishop, he will now return to the church to continue his official duties, but Annan will not.

When it was cold, Rosela said like an angel: "Corrit said that if you want to go shopping, why don't you go shopping together?" ”

"He's sure he's going to say he's busy."

"Okay."

Annan and the sneering Corlett said at the same time, and then she froze.

……

In the noon streets of Hearsi, Annan and Corlet, who had changed back into mage robes, were walking down the street, and Corlet, who was silent at first, gradually became more talkative.

"Do you remember Mrs. Soma? She had been to the house several times. And Dies......"

"Of course ......"

Annan echoed, in fact, he didn't know anyone.

They walked into a shop, and Corrit said, "Father, you wait here for me." ”

Annan thought she was going to surprise herself, but it turned out to be a surprise...... When Annan noticed that there were no pedestrians on the street, the familiar Reiner appeared with paladins and priests.

"You ...... Forget it, come on. Annan opened his mouth, gave up saying anything more, and took the initiative to reach out his hand.

When the forbidden ring was worn on his wrist, Annan lowered his voice: "Lily is nearby, I saw her don't talk about me......"

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't want her to be upset when she learns the truth."

"She's the one who sees through you."

Annan looked up in surprise.

……

The dungeon of loyalty has its master.

Not long after Annan was locked in the dungeon, a figure came to the outside of the cell.

"Corlett ......"

Compared with Corlett's complex emotions, Annan was very calm: "How did you find out? ”

"I haven't called my father again for as long as I can remember, and I made up all those people." She said.

"Really? That's amazing......" Annan smiled with relief.

Corlett whispered bitterly, "Don't look at me like that!" ”

"I'm sorry."

A sad Corlet leaves...... Annan gave her a sweet dream, and she was smashed by her own hands.

In the middle of the night, Annan returned to his office from the dungeon.

"Take a break? Or the fourth? ”

"Fourth!" Annan felt like he had found the ropes.
