Chapter 17: The Man Called Theodore

Helena stood by the flowerbed, looked at Theodore as he walked down the stairs with some astonishment, and shouted in a casual voice.

It was the first time for her to see the other party with such a little decadent and relaxed look, and in the limited few contacts, the other party was dressed in military uniform, refreshed and heroic.

Yes, just like my brother, I will always be so energetic, and I will always give people a reliable sense of security, and a generous and down-to-earth back.

"Hmm, Miss Helena?" Theodore raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked over naturally, "It's late, why didn't you go back to rest?"

Helena did not answer, but turned her back to her back, bent down slightly, and tilted her head to look at Theodore: "Then Mr. Julian, Weishenme didn't go back to sleep obediently?"

"Huh. The slightly playful answer made Theodore smile and his eyes softer.

The long black hair was like silk, the sapphire-like eyes were shining, pouting, a little embarrassed but a little angry glance at Theodore, the thin figure was very well-proportioned, covered under a Roman white silk dress, and even faint curves could be seen.

Well, Theodore felt as if he was a little evil, but this ...... Isn't it a little early to develop? In this era when there is no hormone overdose food, what do you have to eat to eat such a fifteen or sixteen-year-old figure of the girls in Theodore's previous life?

Papaya-?!

"What's wrong?" the girl asked curiously.

"Ah, nothing, there are so many stars tonight. Theodore said casually, quickly raising his head and looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees.

"Would you like to go for a walk together?" Diodore decided to change the subject: "I wonder if I have this pleasure or not, and invite you to take a walk in the courtyard with you." ”

After speaking, he also made a very gentlemanly "please" posture, stared into the other party's eyes, and waited for a reply.

"Of course!" Helena smiled, her eyes curled into crescents, and she made a gesture of return in return, handing her left hand to Theodore.

It feels so good. This was Theodore's first reaction, but this time it was not so embarrassing, he loosened his collar and pulled Helena to slowly scatter in the courtyard, and the candlestick, which was a little unsightly, was casually put on the railing on the side.

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.

Helena smiled and followed Theodore, moved the golden lotus, looked up at the starry sky with affectionate eyes, stretched out her white and tender little hand, and opened her five fingers, as if she wanted to grasp the stars into the palm of her hand.

"The last time I saw such a beautiful night sky was on my birthday, and there were a lot of people who came that time, although ...... I didn't know a lot of them, but everyone was happy. Helena happily muttered to herself, with nostalgia in her tone, but soon darkened again: "But my brother is always busy, and he has never been with Helena again." ”

"He must love you very much. Theodore said in a firm tone.

"Yes, he's always been like that, he doesn't want me to leave, he doesn't want me to get hurt, but he ...... himself," Helena's tone grew smaller and smaller, and her head lowered.

"He's happy, isn't he?" said Theodore softly, smiling at the girl beside him, "to have a lovely sister like you, and a brave and faithful knight like Elendil. ”

As if to be complimented, Helena lowered her head a little embarrassedly, her face flushed. Then as if he remembered something, he raised his head in shock, looked at the person in front of him incredulously, and took a few steps back in a row with some fear: "You...... How are you?!"

"Elendil ......"

"No way! Elendil will not betray her brother!" the girl interrupted him in disbelief, and retreated to the railing, clutching a fallen branch in front of her.

"Miss Helena, you ......"

"Don't come!" Helena shuddered with a crying voice, like a white rabbit seeing a weasel, "Come again, come again, I'll scream!"

"......" Theodore shrugged his shoulders, took a step back helplessly, and made a "please" gesture: "Then please." ”

β€œοΌŸβ€

"I think you've probably forgotten that this is where. Theodore replied with a slight complaint.

With a word, Helena, who had the courage to stand, sat down on the ground, her eyes were red, and the broken branch that she had been holding in her hand was thrown aside, and despair and emptiness echoed in her heart

"Elendil didn't betray you, he just wanted to protect you. Theodore said lightly, "He is loyal to me for you." ”

"You are not abandoned by anyone, on the contrary, everyone is doing everything to protect you, your brother, your knights, and all those who care about you. ”

"Brother Elendil'......"

"Can you stand up now? Helena. Theodore crouched down, stretched out his right hand, and looked at her with a smile.

Tremblingly, he took the palm of his hand that was a little rough, but very warm, like his brother's face with a soft smile, as if returning to the past years, not happy, but so warm.

"Xiexie you, xiexie you tell me this. Helena rubbed the corners of her eyes and stroked her chest: "If it weren't for you, maybe I would still be so ignorant and don't know how much others have paid for themselves." ”

"Because they feel like it's all worth it. Theodore sighed: "This is family affection. ”

"What about you? Mr. Julian. Helena said with a little curiosity, "What about your relatives?"

"My ...... Close relatives. ”

Theodore looked as if he had been petrified, his eyes were confused, his hands trembled slightly, as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and his throat could not make a sound.

"How can I ...... What a loved one. ”

Theodore was a traverser, and a standard soul piercing.

Should the time-traveler forget everything about the past? Maybe so.

Should a traverser be heartless? Maybe.

Should the time-traveler throw away the memories of the previous life like garbage?

But it must not be him! It must not be Theodore Julian!!!!!!

Throw it away, throw it away, so that you can live, so that you can live. Theodore said this to himself more than once, but he could not do it, he never did! Because he was a man! Not a loyal and filial son, but at least he was still a man!

While saying those heartless words, he also secretly recorded his previous memories in a small notebook and hid them.

Who was he? Theodore Julian, Caesar, Roman?

He is Yi Cangqiong! A genuine Chinese! A single otaku with no ability!

"Heheheha............" Theodore No, Yi Cangqiong raised her head and smiled so happily, but tears involuntarily flowed down the sides of her face.

"Mr. Julian, what's wrong with you?" Helena looked at him worriedly and walked over cautiously, "Am I saying something that shouldn't have been said?"

"No, no, I just remembered the past. Yi Cangqiong waved her hand nonchalantly, and looked at her with a sincere smile: "I want you too." ”

"Huh?"

"I used to think that it would be nice to just forget, but now it seems that I am just a fool of myself and a coward. With a self-deprecating smile, Theodore shook his head: "I don't even have the courage to face reality like you, and I'm still accusing you, perhaps, because it's too similar, I lost my relatives, and I live alone on Shijie." ”

"That's right. ”

"Maybe this is God's arrangement, what you want to gain has to lose something, it's fair, it's just ...... It was too sudden, and there was not much opportunity to decide. Wiping away his tears, Theodore stood up again: "It's like this night sky, where we get the stars but lose the moon, and we don't have a chance to choose." ”

"But you can wait, don't you?" said Helena softly.

"Yes, there will be a day, there will be. Theodore nodded in agreement and put his arm on Helena's shoulder: "There will definitely be a day when we can see our relatives again, cry and laugh together, quarrel over trivial things, and then quickly reconcile." When you get tired of it, you leave them and go live the life of your dreams, and when you are tired, you go back to them. ”

"And so it goes, and so on, and so on, and forever and ever.................."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"That's it. Valence grimaced, staring straight at Elendil in front of him: "Although I don't welcome you to join, this is Caesar's order, from now on you are a member of the Imperial Guard, and it just so happens that the position of captain of the third squad is vacant, so it is up to you to take the position, I hope it will not be too disappointing." ”

"Wouldn't that be too ......?"

β€œstrengthandhonor。 Valence interrupted him dryly, saluted, and left.

β€œstrengthandhonor。 Elendil sighed, then turned her face to see ten Imperial Guard Knights standing neatly behind her.

These are his future "little brothers", although these little brothers are not loyal to him.

"Captain Valence has always been like that, and he is actually very good. One of the knights saw that he seemed a little sullen, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, as long as you do things according to the rules, he won't deliberately pick a bone in the egg." ”

β€œxiexie。 Elendil patted him on the shoulder and nodded vigorously.

"It's okay, we'll all be brothers in life and death together, including oursβ€”Captain Valens!" the knight laughed happily.

Elendil smiled, although he said this, the other party did not understand, this was not the most worrying thing for him.

Walking slowly down the hallway, Elendil pondered how to deal with her questions and whether or not to tell her about his allegiance to the Julian Lord.

This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, looks like a betrayal of an oath, right?

Elendil was torn apart, just as he was struggling with whether to obey the Emperor's orders, he wanted to protect her, but he did something like he was hurting her.

Moreover, it did hurt her.

Maybe I'm not the kind of person who is very determined, right? Elendil laughed at himself and thought to himself, he always seemed to be following other people's orders, begging for help, and he was really using his liliang to protect it, not at all.

Am I guarding her, or am I guarding my poor pride?!

The footsteps stopped, and Elendil turned to look at the door, which was not very strong, and his arm was raised but gently lowered, and several times in a row he could not muster up the courage.

"Knock knock!" Elendil still took out his conviction and tapped lightly.

If she is angry, let her beat her a few times, and if she is sad, kneel down and beg her and explain to her...... Elendil kept muttering, and her hands kept groping.

"Excuse me......"

The door opened, and a small round head came out, with big blue eyes flashing with questions and curiosity, and after seeing who it was, it quickly turned into surprise.

"Brother Elendil!" exclaimed Helena, cheerfully.

"Your knight is coming!" said Elendil, deliberately pinching his tongue, following the middle-aged man in the play, "may you allow me to enter?"

"Come on in!" Helena leaned sideways and poked her head out a few times, nervous and pitiful.

Relieved, Elendil hurried in, sat down on a chair casually, and waited for Helena to clean up and sit in front of him, nervous to death.

"Okay, Brother Elendil, what's the matter?" asked Helena, sitting gently across from Elendil.

"How do you know I'm in trouble?"

"Because you're the like: I'm here to tell you something!"

β€œ......”

"Ahem!" Elendil coughed twice, her blood-red eyes dodging a little, but she still stared at the girl in front of her: "That's it...... Iβ€”I swear allegiance to that Lord Theodore Julian!"

"I see, you must have done this because of me, right?" Helena sighed, her tone full of self-reproach: "It's all my fault, I haven't been able to help much, but I still always worry you." ”

"Don't say that, it's my duty and responsibility to protect you, and it's already doomed when I make up my mind!" Elendil smiled and explained to her, feeling really relieved, great, she didn't complain about me, all the messy ideas before were just illusions.

Wait a minute

Something doesn't seem right?!

"You already knew?!"

"Yes, Mr. Julian told me. Helena replied with a smile, "I was scared at first, but after Mr. Julian explained it to me that it was all done to protect me. ”

"I see!" Elendil sighed, "Lord Julian, he is a benevolent lord. ”

"By the way, when did he tell you?"

"Last night. ”

"Last night?"

"Yes, he told me when we were in the castle garden. Helena nodded, "We talked all night!"
