Chapter 16: Shadow Fall (40)

[I've forgotten...... There are too many times that require you to be there to be meaningful. 】

[The older I get, the lonelier I become......]

[How can I give it up......]

Lightning, thunder.

In the days when they thought they would calm down, the thunderbolts never spared anyone who wanted to be reborn, and they whipped the wounds of the heartbroken again and again, so that they could not heal.

It's quiet, as if it has no connection with this place for a long time.

They're coming, the moths who want to eat away at the name of Colin.

His father's death was only a prelude to this brutal struggle, and Colin Coric may never have imagined it to be a shocking conspiracy, but the most transcendent intrigues often come from the most modest means of action.

Assassinate.

Joining forces with the [Shadow Hunters] to carry out assassinations, this absurd and desperate betrayal, will never stop abruptly.

Fighting, fighting, is the greatest cruelty that the gods have left to mankind.

The brother-sister marriage between Weber Coric and Mana Coric has brought about an unprecedented magical genius - Colin Corridge.

She is considered to be one of the children who can recreate the glory of the Coric family for nearly a hundred years.

And now, the death of Weber Coric, the head of the Coric family, has abruptly shattered this illusion of "prophecy" that the whole clan was looking forward to.

And the Coritsch family, which has lost the helm of the family, is bound to be bloody again.

Colin, have already experienced it once.

She is saddened by the death of her father, and the ensuing family struggle of the Coric family, who has lost their helm, worries that the branch of the family that has been united by her father will face a situation of fragmentation.

If she is reborn this time, all the directions will be the same, will she have to experience the tragic past again?

Her father had left her, the beginning of the tragedy had already appeared, and then the mother's madness followed.

Colin Coric, who was pampered by his parents, did not think too much about the cruelty of the family struggle in his head, and did not blame his mother's madness on the persecution of the family members.

But Colin, who has already lived once, must think so, and will not sit idly by and wait for death.

For her willfulness and ignorance in the past, she was both sad and self-reproachful, she once again lost her loving father, and the person who stayed in her memory forever was once again only left with the "cruel smile" in the portrait.

The helpless person, sleepless at night, she no longer cries, but she doesn't know how she should spend the rest of her days.

If everything is going to be business as usual again, if everything is going to give this regenerate one another tragic past, then ...... This is the way back to life...... Where is it......

She clearly wanted to stop her father from returning on a stormy night, but he always had a reason to come back.

She couldn't understand why her father had braved such a rainy night to return to the manor, and she couldn't remember the day she lost her father, but in the trance of life, her guesses about what adults thought were becoming more and more mature.

The father was burdened with the unity of the whole family. This is the burden on my father's shoulders, In the cruel world that adults need to face, my father always protects her very well, and is not prepared to let her face the intrigues and tricks of the adult world, so when those disasters come, she will be ruthlessly ravaged and spend a miserable life.

Now it was different from the past, and her love for her parents was so deep that she was sober even with her grief.

She knew what she might have to face, but she couldn't give up, and if she faced it like a naïve girl, it would make her even more miserable.

Think about what it is that makes the father have to go back to the house.

There are very important things.

What's important......

The family had just returned from planning the next [Izuri Conference] banquet. Although she didn't need to return to Wentishire from Fran to attend the party, she had a premonition that her father's crisis was transmitted back to Wentishire from Fran, much to his surprise, and reprimanded her for her studies.

But the tragedy...... It still happened.

Colin looked at the lightning outside the window, and for a long time she just watched quietly, she was not blinked by the lightning and thunder, and in her deep thought, her whole body tensed, and she didn't know what to do, but she couldn't do anything.

Two days before his father's funeral, according to the funeral customs of Wentishire and the tradition of the Coric family, the funeral of Weber Corridge, who is at the helm of the Coric family, must be attended by the elders of all branches, regardless of the age of Weber's name. Before the funeral and burial, all branches of the family must send condolences in advance, and present a secret letter to select the next qualified heir of the family, so as to continue to maintain the Corridge family.

A steady stream of carriages stopped at Collin's manor, and the family members who had never seen it before arrived, each with a different look on their faces.

or sadness, or indifference, or silence, or ...... Joy.

For a long, long time, until a black carriage stopped outside the manor on a rainy night, and a playboy named [Puano Corridge] stepped out of the carriage with a black umbrella, Colin's nerves relaxed a little, but his expression became serious.

She also had to go downstairs to receive her, but her mother, seeing that she was so sad, could not bear to let her face her relatives in need, so she watched all the "distant guests" in her room.

This is exactly what she meant, her father's death was not simple, the Shadow Hunter did kill her father "in name", but there was no other "superficial person" who knew his father's path except Captain Raft of the Flying Eagles.

If you have to say that the shadow hunter [Musharah] has intercepted his father's path crookedly, that is also the so-called rumor of the outside world.

There were so many strange things going on that stormy night.

Being targeted by the shadow hunters, you can only consider yourself unlucky or something.

Are you kidding?

How can this kind of "gibberish" to cope with the masses cover up the truth of the facts!

Looking at the manor where she had lived for so long, the murderous intent in Colin's eyes surged out, Puano had lived in a big city in the south since he was a child, and he didn't look down on the "town" of Wenti County surrounded by mountains, of course, more of a dissatisfaction with his father.

He is the first suspect in this conspiracy. He wrote his disgust for his father on his face, and being able to attend his father's funeral was probably also pressured by his elders.

The wind and rain are gone, and there is no means to find clues, how should I find the murderer who framed my father.

There is no moon in this rain, and lightning shines on everyone in place of the moon, and mere contemplation will not lead to anything, you must act.

How can I ...... Break the fate of [business as usual].

Colin Corridge......

If fate will make life run in an orderly manner according to the pitiful [business as usual]...... That...... Experience these ...... again Again...... What's the point......

Change...... The ...... of all this Elements, where are they......

A small white umbrella appeared at the door of the manor, and a small face of doubt and expectation was greeted by it.

He timidly looked around the parked carriage, until he recognized the word Corić, and then straightened his clothes in a dignified manner.

His white hair was raining down, his clothes were half wet from the rain, and he looked a little shivering, and the eyes of the stars searched everything in the manor again.

What are you looking for......

Jack Niemann......

[What I have been seeking day and night...... Possibilities ......】

It's hard to wrap up......

That's a lot of pits...... Want to fill it out...... The head should be bigger......
