PS: I updated it as promised today, and it seems that some people suspect that I may not write it. I want to say -- I won't give up the idea of writing this novel as long as there are people willing to support it! It's a shared dream, and I'm not going to stop yet.

zuihou,If there is a commuter pass support,Can you ...... Uh, what am I talking about, feel free to do so, after all, the street book "Banner of Glory" is not worth paying too much attention to~

The corridors inside the castle were a little cold, and even though the torches had been lit for warmth, people couldn't help but shudder their teeth, and the black falcon flag hanging on the top of the tower stood proudly in the cold winter shijie.

Aaron walked briskly through the corridor, his eyes widened, his teeth clenched and his breath short, and he rushed in before he even took off his cloak, and walked forward without looking back, and the chief of the knight of Jorah behind him followed with a heavy face, without pulling a single step.

An elderly knight stood outside the black door, his hands and armor covered in blood, and even if he didn't say a word, one could see the sorrow and pain on his face.

"Captain Grey!" Aaron shouted and ran towards the old knight, and before the other party could speak, he pressed the other party's shoulder, and looked at him with horror in his eyes: "I, my father, he, how is he?!"

"The Duke took me and a few knights on a hunt...... A black bear..."The old knight couldn't bear to look at him: "Lord Duke, he'...... We are not allowed to interfere...... As a result..."

"Father!" Aaron didn't wait for the knight to finish, he pushed open the wooden door and entered, the creaking wooden door was blown by the cold wind, and it slammed shut.

"I've hunted bears all my life, and the result is still ......" Jorah said with emotion, shaking her head and looking at Knight Gray: "Is the Duke seriously injured?"

"I was slapped in the front by the dog, and the chain mail was smashed. Gray couldn't help but close his eyes: "Even if the broken bones can be cured, the iron filings will kill adults!"

"The Radiant Cross is on top!" Jorah pressed against his chest. He prayed softly, "Is this the future that the heavens have arranged for the Brenus family? ”

"We should stop the Duke. Knight Gray lowered his head with reproach, and his voice was full of loss: "I know that the Duke is no longer young, but he is not ......"

"If an adult wants to do something, no one can stop him. It's not your fault. Jorah patted him on the shoulder: "Man's greatest enemy is actually himself." ”

"I have betrayed the trust of the Duke, and I should have made it my duty to sacrifice!" Gray whispered, "I am guilty and unworthy of the black falcon on this robe." ”

Jorah said no more, just patted Gray on the shoulder and said nothing more. He knew that he couldn't reduce Gray's guilt if he didn't say anything, so he had to let it go.

"Can you ask more? What the hell is going on in Haringos? Rumors are going viral all over the place. Gray asked Jorah, "It is said that His Highness Pendragon was betrothed to Caesar of Rome by Lord Terenus of the Knights of the Dawn, and that Emperor Bixia is still alive, and the most one still tells me what Glorious Cross appeared in Haringos, and of course there are many more." What the hell is going on?"

"This ...... It's a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain it right away. Jorah said with a puzzled face, "But one thing is true, the Radiant Cross did appear. Moreover, Lord Caesar Theodore Julian of Rome got it, and is in charge of it with Her Royal Highness Princess Helena!"

Duke Magst Brennus lay quietly on the bed. He was covered with a thick quilt, but that couldn't hide the stench of rotting flesh and blood from his body, which filled the room.

Aaron sat on the edge of the bed and gently held his father's large, generous hand. His eyes moistened and he looked at the old face--weak, too weak, and the father in front of him and the high-spirited, eternally majestic father in his memory were completely like two people!

"I can see that. You have something to say. The old duke slowly opened his eyes, and his voice was low: "Say it, it's too late if you don't say it." You don't want to wait until I'm dead and talk about it at the grave, do you?"

"I—I shouldn't have left you!" Aaron held back his heart and bit his lower lip stubbornly: "And I have done so many things that will make you unhappy, I know, I know!"

"If I had to say the right thing I did in my life, it was the only right thing. The old duke curled the corners of his mouth proudly: "It is to train you to be a real knight, and there is nothing more than this that makes me proud, and I am deeply honored." ”

"My boyhood was not as fortunate as yours, and the Brennus family struggled with political intrigues, and if they were not careful, they would be wiped out. He sighed softly: "I have done too many things that are not the right of a knight, and I have always looked down on those self-righteous 'upright', the so-called perseverance and perseverance are just wishful thinking on the part of these people, and there is nothing to be proud of." ”

"But I later understood that I would only think that way because I was jealous of them from the bottom of my heart, jealous that they could live in shijie full of sunshine. The only meaning of life and death for them is to defend what they ought to defend, and never to give up their oath - I envy that deeply!"

"It's not just me, it's our generation who have betrayed their oaths, and we've watched as our allegiance to the Emperor was killed and the sacred Pendragon family destroyed. Magst Brennus laughed to himself: "We'll never be knights again." ”

"But you, who may still be young, but because you are young, your blood has not subsided, and you are still knights, and you are still entitled to taste the pride that comes with your oath. The eldest duke sighed, "So I didn't stop you from swearing allegiance to that princess, and if you could, never let your oath be tarnished." ”

"You are too naïve, too innocent and do not understand the ways of scheming, the Brennus family has worked so hard and many benefits accumulated over hundreds of years will surely be completely destroyed in your hands!" said the old duke mercilessly, and the ashamed Aaron blushed and lowered his head.

"But that's probably a good thing. The old duke smiled slightly: "The struggle for power and the open and secret struggles, these are too dark and full of sludge. It's impossible to never be tainted. You don't fit for these, and I don't want the descendants of the Brennus family to struggle with power. As long as they keep their glory and dignity, this is enough, wealth and titles can only give them too much burden. ”

"I assure you that Brennus's name will never fade. Aaron's voice was filled with tears: "Brennus, always glorious!"

"Hehehe............ the eldest man smiled, his chest rising and falling, looking at his son, "Do you know that I like to hunt bears? Black bears are strange beasts, they don't eat dead things. Many unlucky people can escape by lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. ”

"This is the challenge!" the old duke suddenly became excited: "Do you lie there and pretend to be dead to avoid the eyes of the enemy, or do you rush forward to the roar and fight it to the death with your sword!

"I've been a coward too many times in my life, but at least I can close my eyes without guilt. The old duke became calm again: "At least, I am fighting to the end of my strength in Zuihou, although I am only a beast." ”

"Do you want to listen to it?!" The old duke shouted out the door, "You guy, are you going to stay there until I'm dead before you want to come in and see me?!"

"I'm just waiting for your orders. Chief Jorah walked in calmly. Pushing open the wooden door with a pursed mouth, he walked in with the hilt of his sword, and stopped in front of the old man's bed.

"Let's get out. The old duke glanced at Aaron: "You don't want to see it." Remember, don't forget your own vows. Live with pride. ”

Aaron didn't speak, but stood up gently, his face solemn and his hands still trembling a little. But the steps are steady. Looking back at his father, he closed the door little by little.

"Aaron will do what you wish, my Lord Duke. Jorah whispered, "He'll be the best knight ever." No one can do it better than him. ”

"Duke, what do you call me?" the old duke glanced at the chief knight Jorah, "or do you still hold a grudge against your father, the dazed old drunkard?" ”

"I will never forget that my mother did not do it voluntarily - she was just a cook who didn't know anything. Jorah looked at Duke McGster Brennus lying on the bed without flinching: "Although she loved him deeply until she died. ”

"But you will always have my loyalty, you will have my vows. Jorah knelt down on one knee and calmly looked into the other's eyes: "My brother, I will never forget." ”

"I've thought for a long time, how can I make you willing to continue to assist Aaron, I want him to be a real knight, I used to dream of that. But that doesn't mean I'm going to watch him be stupid, I need someone to guide him, and you're the best person. The old duke stretched out his left hand, and his limp palm rested lightly on Jorah's shoulder: "But now it seems that I don't need to say anything." ”

"I will do my best to make your reputation shine. Jorah said in a deep voice, "For the Brenus family, for Aaron, and for you and my brother." ”

"My reputation? The old duke laughed indifferently: "A man who has betrayed his oath, what kind of reputation does he have?" ”

"Help Aaron and don't let the tragedy of our youth repeat itself again. Brenus's voice became more and more subtle: "Everything that is frightening, that has lost itself, should no longer appear on this shijie!"

............................................................

Jorah lowered her head, gently put the cold palm back under the quilt, slowly stood up, pressed the position of her heart, and looked at the sleeping face.

"I won't let you down, brother. (To be continued......)
