Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2436: Mourning in the past (11)
Chapter 2436 mourning for the past (eleven)
Same time(?), 6pm, on a street in Old London.
I was still hesitating whether to be invited, but Daniel just had this idea in his heart, he involuntarily activated the teleportation technique, and a teleportation arrived at this strange and familiar street. Thirty yards away was the little bar where he had first met Liana.
She should be waiting. I don't know what she wants to say to him, but at least, he should listen.
Daniel swallowed, tried his best to suppress his fear, and walked over.
"You're here." Before Daniel got close, he saw Liana, the singer who had been standing in front of the bar for a long time, waiting for Daniel to appear.
"I'm here, what do you want to say?" Seeing Liana again, Daniel couldn't help but feel uncomfortable: "If you have something to say, please keep it short, your brother may appear at any time, if he sees it We're chatting and it's going to get awkward again."
"No, actually..." Liana shrugged, turned and pushed the figure behind her, forcibly driving a teenager out of her back.
That human boy was none other than Liana's younger brother, the son of the late Dark Iron Knight Mr. Dore.
"Oh." Daniel couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"Haley, what do you want to say?" Seeing her brother staring at Daniel without saying a word, Liana urged, "Say something. It's not the same as what you said."
"But, sister..." The young man was obviously worried about something, or it was because he was too afraid of life to face Silver Knight Daniel at all.
"I won't help you any more, it's up to you to say what you want to say." Liana said firmly.
"Eh." Harley sighed, then, despite his reluctance, turned to look at Daniel: "Mr. Daniel, I'm sorry."
"Uh...what?" Daniel was a little confused.
"I'm sorry." The child repeated: "My sister has already trained me well, and I know I was wrong. You are not responsible for your father's affairs. You even gave your life to save your father, but you are not strong enough. And failed. Human power is very small, there are too many things that can't be done. Life is so helpless. This kind of thing is commonplace in the Knights, and it is not your responsibility at all. But...I... ....I put all my dad's death on you, just unilaterally taking anger on you. You even saved me once, but I'm taking anger. I'm the most selfish and meanest guy. I I know that someone like me is not worthy of your forgiveness, but I still ask for your forgiveness."
Daniel is silent for a while. The child's words were a bit like reciting lines, and they may have prepared this set of speeches from the beginning. Nevertheless, there is still an element of sincerity in it, and it is not simply recited according to the manuscript or pretended to be based on acting skills.
"Do you really think this way?" Daniel paused and asked, "Or, you actually hate me, but your sister and mother forced you to say this to me?"
"..." The boy was silent for a while.
"You still hate me, don't you?"
"Of course------"
"Harley!" Liana growled.
"Don't force him, I just want to know what he really thinks." The silver knight boy continued.
"...I still hate you a little bit." Harley then whispered: "But what my sister and my mother said were right. It's not entirely your responsibility for Dad's death. I just A kid, I don't get it. But you should have used everything you could to try to save Dad, right?"
"I am." Daniel sighed deeply: "But I was really weak and insignificant at that time."
"What about now?" The boy asked again.
"...A little bit stronger." Daniel replied.
"Then you have to work hard to become stronger. If you are too weak to save even your comrades and let history repeat itself, I will definitely hate you again." Harley turned around and ran away.
"This child..." Liana sighed angrily: "I'm sorry, that child has been living his life in a hospital bed since a long time ago. Also irritable."
"It's actually fine," Daniel said lightly. To say that he is grumpy, he may be even more grumpy himself.
"Then, I asked my brother to apologize, and then I have something to say to you." Liana blinked: "It's a bit long, you... really want to say Have you finished listening to the entrance of the tavern? Don't you want to sit down with me in the tavern?"
"If you don't mind..." Daniel replied noncommittally.
"More whiskey, Mr. Knight?" the showgirl asked jokingly.
"No, don't give me anything containing alcohol." Daniel replied with a serious face. At this time of the day, he habitually wanted to anesthetize himself with alcohol to temporarily forget the pain and troubles of living. Only this time, he wanted to listen to every word of Liana with a clear head.
Ten minutes later, Daniel was sitting in a remote corner of the bar, enjoying the peace that belonged to him. The bar was as sparsely populated as ever, and because it wasn't a holiday today, fewer people than usual came for drinks.
"It's been a while." Liana came and sat down with two glasses of frozen orange juice and some snacks like French fries.
"The bar owner invited a guest. He said that you paid more for the drink before. Two glasses of juice are nothing. You're welcome." Liana said before Daniel asked.
"Okay." The silver knight boy unceremoniously took the cup and took a sip of the juice.
"Actually, I also want to apologize to you, Mr. Daniel." Liana also took a sip of orange juice and whispered, "I didn't know your identity before this, but when I heard your complaining After describing it, I gradually guessed that you are my father's colleague."
"Um..."
"At that time, I should have publicly revealed my identity to you to prepare you psychologically. But I..." Liana turned her face away, a little embarrassed: "I really want to test You, I want to know more about you. In order to talk to you a few more times in a normal relationship, I didn't say anything. I'm really trying to trick you. But I just want to find out what kind of person you are. Father died Afterwards, people from the Knights came to condolence us. Some people said that you killed my father. You were an undisciplined and reckless person that eventually led to my father's death; but some people said that you just entered the You can do what you can, and try your best to save your companions. You are not responsible for my father's death. The people of the Knights have these two sets of opinions, and I don't know who to believe. So I decided to believe no one, Use my own method to figure out the essence of you as a person."
"So...you get it?"
"Probably still don't know anything about you." Liana smiled bitterly: "I only know that you do feel guilty about my father's death, and you feel guilty about your own powerlessness. I don't know. Whether or not you directly or indirectly caused my father's death because of your disobedience to the orders of your superiors is something that only people within your knight order will know.
But none of this is my concern. All I care about is whether you are my father's true friend, whether you are saddened by my father's death, and whether you are blaming yourself for not being able to save him. And all this, I already have the answer. I know this is enough, no matter what you do, I will choose to forgive you. "
"Liana..."
She smiled wryly and ate some snacks before continuing: "You know what? I checked after the fact that the Knights of Great Britain did not have any [high-risk mission allowance], and the knights who took the initiative to participate in high-risk missions were It's at our own risk. Which means if my father comes back alive, we won't get the huge sum of money used to save Harley, Harley's surgery won't be done in time, and my brother... he'll probably die. It was because my father died on that mission that Great Britain officially sent a decent pension and we had a chance to save Harley.
Either my father died or my brother died. Father can only choose one. He probably knew this clearly and chose to sacrifice. And you...you didn't save my father, but you did save my brother. If you did the opposite, maybe it would be my brother who died of illness now. So, don't blame yourself too much, Mr. Daniel. Maybe all of this was my father's plan, or maybe you shouldn't have saved him in the first place. His father also suffered from the same disease as Harley, and his body was already on the verge of collapse. He exchanged his broken body for my brother's right to live. "
Is this cycle again? Hearing this, Daniel couldn't help feeling sad.
"That's all I want to say, Mr. Daniel." Liana continued, "I just want to tell you that I don't hate you -- I should say there's no way to hate you, considering that All that happened. Then, one thing at a time, that thing you told me last time, I haven't even officially answered you."
"...Yes?"
"My answer is still [yes]. We can date." Liana said, "If you don't mind someone like me being your girlfriend, let's date."
Hearing this ~IndoMTL.com~ Daniel was overjoyed, but at the same time he looked at each other with fear and doubt, and asked timidly: "Doesn't your brother object? I'm still your killer after all... Killing my father's enemy..."
"Are you trying to make things so complicated again?" Liana sighed, "If you don't mind the trouble, I can repeat the series of causal relationships I just said... "
"No, no need..." Daniel's forehead dripped with sweat.
"The key is not [what you have done], but [what kind of person you are]." The girl smiled indifferently: "After this series of events, I saw you as a decent person. , responsible, gentle, and a good person who deserves to be entrusted for life. That's why I decided to associate with you. Can you accept this?"
"Yes." Daniel's face gradually turned red, as if he had been drinking: "If people like me are worth it, we will------"
"Stop talking about [people like me]," the girl reached out and stroked the boy's face, her eyes full of love: "You are actually a better person than you think, Mr. Daniel." Please use the latest domain name
