Chapter 283: Aftermath (Part II)
She was still looking at Kylelius with a smile on her face, she didn't understand the situation at this time, she was naïve and just curiously looked at the strange and familiar man in front of her.
A trembling voice sounded from the woman's mouth: "Your Excellency Bishop Kellius, is there anything you have done here?" The tension, pain, and small anticipation in his tone that was still not completely dispelled were unmistakably conveyed to Kellius.
Kellius didn't know how to answer, and the anticipation in the woman's eyes made the priest feel as if his eyes had been burned by the hot bright light, and he couldn't bear to look at him. Kylelius, who was speechless, slowly squatted down and touched the little girl who was still looking at him curiously.
The girl let out a pleasant laugh of joy like a silver bell, and the children who had no heart always showed the light and beauty of this world.
"Father, tell me, what is the matter with you......" The trembling voice with a crying voice made the woman feel extremely pitiful at this time, but all that remained in Keleus's heart was a slow guilt and bitterness.
"I'm not here for anything else, it's for Bent's business......" Kylelius was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind to say what he was going to do.
"Bent!?Please tell me, my husband, what is the matter with the father of this child...... Please tell me!" crystal tears overflowed her beautiful eyes, and she blurted out a hoarse cry.
The surrounding pedestrians and neighbors did not react in surprise, only deeper silence and sadness. The heavy atmosphere infects the woman in the center. The look of pain on her face deepened.
"I'm sorry that Bent died honorably in this battle......" Kelelius told the frail woman in front of him in a deep voice. He knew that after the Tao, this family would have to be borne by this weak woman. But he cut open deep wounds on her delicate body and sprinkled it with salt.
'What an unsightly sight, Keleus!!Has your soul degenerated to such an extent?!Is this what you are doing now to be so cruel to a woman who has no support!!' Kelelius roared inwardly as he lashed out at what he had done and lashed out at his own heart for having no mercy.
No surprises. The moment the woman listened to the words of Kyrlius. Tears that were already overflowing in the eye sockets left uncontrollably from the corners of the eyes. It trickled over her beautiful face and into the corners of her mouth, making her taste the indescribable bitterness.
More tears flowed from the corners of his mouth. Along the corners of the beautiful white mouth and neck. Through the collarbone. Flowing across her full chest, bleak and beautiful. The woman covered her red lips with her hands and slowly knelt on the ground.
A soft whimper. Echoed in the ears of Kyleus.
"It's Bent's pension, and I think it's enough for you to sustain the family and raise this child. Kylelius said as he leaned over and stroked the little girl, who was also crying. At this time, she also cried because of her mother's crying, although she didn't know what her mother was crying for, but it didn't prevent her from understanding her mother's sadness.
Bent's body has not yet been found, and since there are no ashes, he can only be replaced with clothes that have been sorted out from his officers' quarters. This is a medal presented by His Excellency Viscount Rick Luxembourg on behalf of the town government to all those who have made outstanding contributions to this war. ”
"I think in the days to come, even if you were just a woman, I don't think anyone would come to bully you, and the rest of the garrison wouldn't agree. Kelelius said with a reluctant smile, and at the same time handed the package and medals and the 'pension' to the woman in front of her, who was in tears and wept bitterly.
Although this small medal is of no use, it can neither bring money nor bring the dead back to life, but it is also an important means of comforting the soul. Looking at the woman who was crying bitterly as he hugged Bent's change of clothes, Kylelius suddenly understood what was the use of these meaningless things in his eyes.
Sometimes, people's hearts are often more eager to be filled than anything else. The void in people's hearts needs something to fill even more. People in grief are always more eager for not material compensation, but spiritual comfort.
Looking at the women and girls who were in pain and hoarse, Kellius's indifferent heart was once again sublimated.
The human heart can never be measured only by material things.
The woman looked at the heavy bag full of gold coins in her hand, and it was obvious that the militia of the garrison could not issue such a large pension, and even if they were, it would not be possible to issue it in such a short time.
The woman looked at the expressionless priest in front of her, and knew that the money could only be given to her by him personally. But the complicated feelings in her heart make it impossible for a woman to thank the priest from the bottom of her heart, because Bent participated in the garrison, which was recommended by the man in front of her.
Although their family at that time was infinitely grateful to Kyrlius. But now, at this moment, this strong feeling directly turns into the same strong blame and dissatisfaction, and even unspeakable hatred.
Kyrlius also felt the unwelcome and hatred in the woman's eyes, and he had no idea of wanting to explain and be forgiven. Because he also knows that although Bent is not to blame for his death, he is also an indirect murderer who indirectly caused this fact.
So then Kylelius said nothing, but silently left this house full of sorrow and despair. But before leaving, he still looked at this ordinary mansion intently, as if it was going to be deeply engraved in his mind.
As Kylelius walked away, the cries and shouts behind him grew quieter. But the influence of these voices on Kyrlius is getting bigger and bigger, and the vibration of his heart is becoming more and more obvious.
The terrible cry made his heart suddenly swell up with a trace of emotion that could not be expressed in words for some reason, and he felt that something was touched in his heart, and his heartstrings were gently plucked or a few times. But what exactly was touched, and which string was plucked, Keerlius himself could not say.
Although Kylelius cared, he didn't understand what this feeling meant, "Forget it, since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it." Then he put this doubt behind him, and never dwelled on it again.
As the sun set, the tall figure left here step by step in the orange-yellow light.
The sunset at dusk dragged his figure for a long time...... It's long.
The next day, when the war finally ended, the whole town was immersed in a sea of joy. Although it is inevitable that some people, because of the death of a loved one or friend, are immersed in grief and pain.
But because of Rick's timely response, the death toll was kept to a small range, so most of the residents spent the days with a sense of joy for the rest of their lives.
Some people rejoice, and naturally some people grieve. The inhabitants of the Order, who lost their relatives and friends in the war, as well as the knights of the Order who lost their comrades or brothers in the battle against the zombies, are immersed in grief.
So, Banji was in a very strange atmosphere on this day. On the one hand, there are people who are happy in their hearts for the rest of their lives, but in order not to irritate those who have lost something important, they choose to be silent.
And those who have lost something important naturally choose to remain silent as well.
In this way, in an eerie silence, Banki spent the first day after the war.
During the day, Kellius also learned of Cheryl and Paris's self-inflicted actions, although Kellius would not punish his two most important subordinates for the sake of those who had already died, even if the two dead were Kellius' favorite female companions.
But the necessary punishment is still indispensable.
Kellius doesn't have any affection for anyone who betrays him, or most people don't have a good impression of someone who betrays him, even if they are passive and unaware, and people will have a grudge against them and will not treat them as usual.
The reason for Kyleus' anger was not that they killed Liz and Mera, but that they acted without first consulting him, which was the main reason why Kylelius was angry.
This sprout must be extinguished at the very beginning, otherwise it will form an irremediable fire after the end.
That night, after blocking the passage behind the painting, Kellius disciplined two graceful girls who had made a mistake in the holy church. The fierce battle is accompanied by high emotions, and the trio performs an intoxicating symphony in the church.
Heart-warming music that makes people feel refreshed. The flurry of performances did not end until the next day, when it was nearly dawn.
The refreshed Kylelius did not care about not having a single strand on his body, just felt the dawn air with his skin, looked at the two nuns lying on the church floor, and looked at their sinful bodies, all of which made Kylelius feel the beauty of life.
It wasn't until a moment later that Kyrlius slowly put on his clothes.
But at this time, there was no longer the expression of enjoyment on his face just now, but a blue face.
Dissatisfaction, impatience, anger, and hatred all came to his face with extraordinary clarity.
The eyes revealed a heart-rending killing intent, and the wanton magic caused a violent whirlwind to hang in this empty hall, fleeting.
What made Kylelius so angry was naturally about Lycia's enemies. (To be continued......)
