The elements are gathered, stewed indiscriminately, into potion or slag, God knows.

Small meeting room.

A series of crimson rose-patterned wall coverings envelop the entire space, depriving the room of its presence by overabundance.

Even more eerie people sat here and there with different looks. On the sofa opposite sat only Altaia, who looked depressed, and Lance, who looked concerned about her. Sunshadow and Peng Xiu sat on a pair of private seats set up by the window. On the small table between the two of them, a pot of tea was still steaming.

If you don't know that at this time, you are still in the abandoned and abandoned city, and you will mistakenly think that you are in the boudoir of a noble lady with strange preferences, and there is a tea party with an unknown theme.

Hikage fell silent as he looked at the glass of water that was still steaming slightly. The situation in front of us has become even more chaotic. Their less-than-ideal rescue plan has now completely turned into a self-defeating operation, and what is even more embarrassing is that they have no idea the real purpose of the other party's action.

Just when Altaia was still vague and didn't know where to start, they were invited here to meet Lance. After Lance breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow seemed to be fine, Altea, whose attention had been diverted from all his attention, did not move away, but he did not speak.

Altaia still seemed reluctant to see Lance, falling into a depressive silence.

They were waiting for an answer, but the person who announced it was belated.

"Kamel, was you caught with you?" asked Arteya, biting her lip, finally worried more than she was at a loss.

"No, he wasn't caught, he was rescued by a gang of unknown people. Lance replied immediately, thinking for a moment and adding. "The gang doesn't seem to have any ill will towards him, they should have come to save him. You don't have to worry too much. ”

"You ......" Lance seemed to have finally decided to say something after explaining what had happened to Carmel, but at first he stopped and stopped.

Where to start, in order to clarify the father-daughter relationship that has never been thought of, if they have never known each other, they can still talk about the past, but they have always known each other, but they have never even had a basic greeting.

Even if Lance is dominating on the battlefield, overturning the rivers and seas in the power field, even if he has all kinds of thoughts in his heart, he still coaxes one in the face of the girl in front of him at this moment.

"Uncle. Peng Xiu sighed, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth, blocking the tangled in front of him. "She doesn't know the past, so let's take our time. ”

"Well, it's the most important thing to take Xiaoya out of here first. Lance nodded haphazardly, remembering the purpose of his trip.

"You want to take her, do you think it's possible?" The door to the parlor opened, and Morton strode in. "What you couldn't do back then, do you think you can do now?"

The disdainful look and tone of voice spoke directly to the truth of the year, stimulating Lance's nerves.

"You still mention the year. It's you, you've killed them all, right? It's you! You still have the face to mention back then. If Elena really left with me. Maybe it won't be so soon. But Elena she doesn't love me, I have done irreparable wrong, she didn't kill me is already the greatest forgiveness for me, how can I still expect her to go with me, I don't blame her, I blame myself. But Arteya is different, she is my daughter!"

"You can't even save your sister, how can you save her. What's more, you don't even know when she died, what qualifications do you have to shout at me here, Xiaoya is your daughter. Morton sat down slowly, looking coldly at Lance, who had gotten up because of excitement.

"What do you mean? Elena didn't die in the siege, where is she, is she still ......" Lance looked at Morton longingly.

"Mother is dead. When I was five years old. Altea spoke up and stopped Lance's longing.

"Could it be that the previous Duchess was Elena?" Langston lived, he had seen the Duchess of Morton several times, but he didn't recognize it at all, and he didn't even associate it.

"She has always been a Duchess, she was, and she is, and even if she dies, she is only my wife. ”

"We're not here to hear this nonsense, if you're going to talk about it with my uncle all the time, the three of us can leave. Peng Xiu interrupted, he didn't want to see the obvious remorse and frustration on Lance's face.

"Your Highness, why can't you breathe, this is not like you. You should learn to respect your elders, don't you think your uncle wants to know about it, or are you afraid to hear that your uncle, a man of good morals, has also done disgusting things, and has done the same unforgivable things, ruining his good image in your heart?"

"Morton, Altaia is still here!" roared Lance.

"What! Are you afraid she knows how she came to this world?"

"So, are you going to tell this story?" asked Sunshadow in a clear voice playing with the water glass in his hand. "Let her and we know about this messy past?"

The question is to throw stones and ask for directions. But apparently this is not a normal tea party.

"Little friend, also calm. Morton poured himself a glass of water and took a sip when he finished.

"Why not. This is already the case. Your Excellency in the parlor now wants to exchange information, but the principle of exchange is equivalence, not a battle of words. ”

"Joke, what do you have to be exchanged, and don't forget, you're the turtle in the urn now. Morton snorted coldly, seemingly full of disdain.

"And what are you talking about with the turtle in the urn, and what are you doing here to bring us here?" said Lance, reclaiming the initiative.

From the power of the government and the opposition to the collapse overnight, it seems that yesterday was still surrounded by everyone, and today is already on the run, if you still maintain your rights, there are some secrets, even if you die, you may not be revealed. But now that it has collapsed, and the old people have reunited, even if there is no guilt, even if it is ruthless, there is still a need for narration.

Sun Ying and Peng Xiu glanced at each other, hoping that this conversation would solve all their doubts.

"Tell me, what did Kamel write in your diary? ”

The only one present who had seen all of the diaries was actually Nikkage. Lance watched the movement of the Sunshadow, focusing all eyes on him.

"Only Xiaoyou has seen it? I really don't really understand what kind of existence Xiaoyou is in this matter. ”

"Decryption is a matter of pulling through the cocoon, starting from the source. And the past is the origin of all this now, don't you think it would be better for you to say it first, confirm it, and then draw conclusions? Nikkage had to respond.

"Xiaoyou, you are really a person who does not suffer. But it doesn't matter. Morton glanced at the faces of Peng Xiu and Sunshadow, his gaze slightly rested on the tea that was still steaming slightly between them, and then looked at Lance, who was anxious and resentful, as if he had thought about something, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, took a sip of tea, and continued.

"After all these years, what do you want to ask me? Reims. ”

The sudden mildness did not conform to the man's uncertain temperament, which made Lance a little uncertain, but it seemed to remind him of the past. After all, they were also good brothers from birth to death.

"Did you really betray this place back then? Why?"

Morton was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled. "For so many years, you have either been hiding in the border barracks, or you have not gone out in the house. You and I have met several times, and you have either avoided me or are angry at me. Don't tell me that's not suspicious of me. Don't you already have the answer in mind? ”

"I ......"

"I don't want to believe it's not. Didn't I tell you, don't be bothered by your own stupidity and naivety? Yes, it was me, and I told the bishop of the Church of Light about everything here. That guy took the risk and gave the secret letter to His Majesty. But what a discerning eye the crown was, he saw through that guy at a glance and promoted me. I became a spokesperson and a respected nobleman. Isn't that enough?"

"But they saved us. This is still Elena's home, and you know how bad the consequences of being found here are! You killed them all!"

"In a world covered by the doctrine of light, it is only a matter of time before it is discovered here. It's not me, it's someone else, but if it's me, I get everything at the same time, I can still save Elena, what's so bad. ”

"You killed my sister. ”

"I didn't kill her, she chose to die. With that, Morton looked at Peng Xiu. "Your mother, it only took a year to become a shrine maiden here in Chambord, to become the manager of Chambord, and I have to say that she is really a very intelligent person. But in the light of the doctrine of light, it is an unpardonable capital sin. You probably don't know that you weren't connected not because you're royal, but because your mother's intelligence was pity. Isn't that enough?"

"Shut up! So much, you still say such things, don't you feel the slightest guilt?"

"Lance, didn't I say, don't be naïve to ask naïve questions. Why should I feel guilty about what I did right?"

"You can still say that you are right to kill them all, and you have no guilt! Are you really the Morton I know? Are you really a good brother with whom I was born and died. It's just that I'm blind. Elena is also blind, how could she fall in love with you. ”

"Since Elena has finally been mentioned, please tell me too, my good brother. Will you be able to forgive yourself for all the filthy things you did to Elena, and will you forgive yourself for betraying the oath you made between us?"

"I didn't mean to. I didn't really know why that was happening. The next day I came to my senses and realized what I had done. I...... I don't know what to make of your explanation, and Elena won't leave with me because of this, so I fled here. I really didn't want to betray you, really. At that time, I really didn't know what to do, how to face you, facing Elena, I just wanted to go back to the imperial capital to calm down first, but as soon as I returned to the imperial capital, I was taken to the barracks, and then I went to the battlefield. I ...... "The heart that wants to escape is indeed true, Lance's pale explanation."

"So why did you allow you to betray me, but not allow me to betray here. ”
