Chapter 16 The Past

"You all calm down and stop arguing." Aske didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

To be fair, he felt that Peggy probably started the fight first, because Nora obviously didn't say anything too extreme, but the vampire girl started yelling and shouting fiercely, and it was really inappropriate.

Mature.

However, Asker was the captain of the team after all. On the one hand, he would never openly quarrel. On the other hand, he also had a vague hunch that Nora seemed to want to anger Paige.

Although I don’t know how they were irritated, maybe they were using their psychic abilities to chat with each other privately?

He sighed quietly and pretended to be silent, so the two girls also fell silent and looked at him with slightly uneasy expressions.

"Why don't you continue to argue?" Asker said helplessly, "I remembered that the team's training plan has not been arranged yet."

He stood up from the chair and gestured to leave. Nora and Paige quickly held him on the left and right - holding his arms to prevent him from leaving.

Are you kidding me! Everyone is working hard to level up, just to come here to gain favor after promotion, but you want to run away to find other girls? That is absolutely not allowed!

So the two looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and immediately reached a tacit understanding of "put aside the dispute and develop together", and then began to chat with Asker.

————————

Palermo, Normandy Palace, small courtyard.

Sidrifa sat there in silence, looking at her ax over and over again.

Robert sat opposite her, intending to communicate with his daughter for a while... although he could only get answers such as "um", "ah" and "oh" from her.

After so many days, the answer is obvious. If Sally's question is not explained clearly, it is impossible for Sidrifa to give him any good looks.

So Robert smoked again, knowing that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

"The last time I saw you, you were still in your mother's belly," he said.

The effect was immediate. Sidrifa raised her head and looked at him, her light blue eyes slightly narrowed under her white bangs.

Looking at the faces that resembled Sally's and his own, Robert was slightly absent-minded, but he quickly continued:

"Sally and I were living in the Normandy region of West Francia at the time. Our father's name was Old Tancred, a local baron."

"That period was the most painful time in my life. You have to know that in Norman families, especially in extraordinary families, women and children have no status at all. A Northland poet even said

,'Children are the father's property and can be disposed of at will."

"Our father, Old Tancred, is the only transcendent in the family who has reached Level 5. Level 5... is ridiculous, right? But to us at that time, it was as inviolable as gods to mortals.

When he gets angry, we will huddle in a corner and tremble. If we make him unhappy, he will even throw us into the territory's prison for 'solitary confinement' - which is a euphemism for starving to death."

"Where did I say it before? By the way... Children are the property of their parents. I don't know how you understand this sentence, but I guess you have suffered a lot outside since you were a child. Listen, you have suffered a lot.

The suffering is far less than that of your parents, because no matter how difficult it is for you to make a living, at least you still have the freedom to choose."

"And our lives were not our own at that time."

"You mean, he wants to kill you?" Hidrifa asked in a low voice.

"No." Robert shook his head and laughed jokingly, "I have said that for the Norman Extraordinary Family, children are the property of their parents. Who would damage their own property without reason?"

"Sally is our sister, and we have the closest relationship among the more than twenty children. This makes old Tancred very unhappy, because I am his son, and he does not like his son to be too close to his daughter, and is afraid

We had an affair with each other when we became adults... He had already made arrangements for Sally, planning to marry her to the Baron of Coquitan in the neighboring territory. The old man was already in his fifties, widowed and widowed, and his appearance was extremely ugly.

"

"Of course, Sally was absolutely resistant to such an arrangement, but she had no way to directly resist the authority of old Tancred. So later, she did a very crazy thing." Robert paused subtly when he said this.

.

His sky-blue pupils looked at Sidrifa, his eyes complex and bewildered, as if to say, "Look, good girl, this is how you got here."

Hidrifa was silent for a long time again and said:

"so what?"

"As her belly grew bigger day by day, the matter finally couldn't be hidden." Robert threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it to pieces with the heel of his boot. "Old Tancred was furious. We have never seen him get angry.

There was such a big fire that everyone was beaten many times by him."

"Except for Sally, after all, she has the flesh and blood of the Hauteville family in her belly. But old Tancred used all means to torture her crazily and force her to reveal the child without harming her body.

Who is the father of?”

"Mother... didn't say your name, did she?" Hidrifa asked in a low voice.

"If she had said it then, I wouldn't be alive now." Robert exhaled a long breath, "She is a strong woman. In comparison, I was just a cowardly loser, and I didn't dare to speak out at all.

Half a sentence."

"Until the pregnant Sally was thrown onto a cart and sold to a passing businessman, I... didn't have the guts to do anything, even if it was just to leave home privately to find her. And she was being raped

The last moment he was taken away, he just looked at me with despair in his eyes... Since then, our contact has been completely severed."

"Old Tancred, where is that man now?" Hidliefa suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Dead." Robert smiled faintly, "Do you think I will leave him in this world after I become a transcendent? And my brothers and sisters, everyone wants him to die."

"So Hidliefa, the whole thing is like this. I don't intend to defend myself, because in the world of the Normans, words are cheap and useless, and only strength can decide everything."

"If I had enough power at that time, then I would never let Sally be sent away miserably. A person without power is doomed to be cowardly. No matter what he does, no one will understand it until he has the ability to hold it.

As long as you have your own weapons.”

"I don't intend to ask for your forgiveness. If you still hate me because of Sally, then remember, daughter...my life, father, is always here for you to take."

"Anyway, Sally and I are both sinners who have committed unethical things and are destined not to go to heaven after death. When you have enough power, just come and kill me. Then I will

Then go to hell and meet her again!"

Hilda Lifa stood there silently, saying nothing. After a long while, she nodded slightly to her father, then turned and went back to the house.
