Outside the city of Colonia, Berto was elegantly sipping red wine in a tent. His face was a little pale. After all, he was older and his body was not as energetic as a young man. He was like a hard bone, struggling in the difficult and dark life.
The years have lasted until now. The adventures and wars have tempered him, and at the same time, they have destroyed his body. Berto feels that time is not forgiving. His youthful years have passed away for a long time, and he can never regain the endlessness he once had.
I have become more energetic. In those days, no matter how big the battle or adventure was, you could recover after just one sleep. Now, after a battle, it takes three to five days to recover, and you cannot recover at all.
"I have always been interested in the past experiences between you and your wife. But every time, you stop midway through the conversation."
In the military tent, Talinnam asked cautiously. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the old lord, he had to be careful and cautious when speaking.
"I know, I shouldn't ask, this is not my concern. I'm just curious, as a lord, have you thought about other girls over the years?"
Talinnam turned sideways and asked softly.
At first, he saw that Berto's handsome face was full of anger, but after a while, this anger disappeared in the soft atmosphere. Berto smiled, relaxed. He smiled and turned to look at himself
This little squire. He is the only one who dares to ask himself such a question. However, their relationship is no longer just a lord and a squire, they are already friends. Although in front of outsiders, Talinnam is just a person.
Attendant.
"Haha, you are very bold. Ask me such a question. In the past, I would have ordered someone to tie you up and beat you. But now, I no longer have that harshness. To be honest, I have thought about it."
Bertol's answer surprised Tarynnum. Bretonnian knights take glory as their mission, and the doctrine of the Lake Goddess clearly stipulates that husbands and wives must stick to their marriage and be loyal to love. Bertol, as a representative figure among knights, he
He should stick to this loyalty even more. For a moment, Talinnam couldn't believe that such words would come out of Bertot's mouth.
But soon, the old lord gave his own explanation.
"I thought about it, every day, beautiful girls walk through my manor. When I wander outside and adventure, I also meet many young girls. They are beautiful and full of energy. I am a man and have normal needs. What should I do?
I don’t want to. But, I can’t think about it. As a family man and a lord, I can’t think about it. I must be responsible for my own family. Even if I don’t have children, I must also be responsible for Anna. She has been with her since she was a teenager.
Until now, I have put my best youth here. How could I go out and have fun because of impulse? Responsibility will make you hold back many desires and thoughts. Whenever those evil thoughts come, I will be sober.
Tell yourself your identity. I must be a qualified husband and a qualified lord."
Berto said with a wry smile.
"But, I think the emotional life between you and your wife is not that happy? I'm sorry, I'm telling the truth, many people can see it. Your wife is full of complaints and accusations against you. Sometimes we can't stand it anymore."
Talinnam asked in a low voice.
He was hesitating and tangled in his heart. Berto was very kind to him. If there was something wrong with his wife, he should have reported this matter to his lord as soon as possible. However, Berto was too loyal to his chivalry.
Others would deal with this kind of matter in a compromise, but he...maybe very extreme. In order not to break the heart of this poor lord, Talinnam tightly guarded his mouth. Because he could not imagine that once
What will be Berto's reaction when he knows the truth?
"Well, life is like this. Just like tea. The first cup is always the strongest, full of aroma and intoxicating. When you finish drinking the tea in the cup and add water to make the second cup, the taste will be lighter. Chapter 1
After adding water three times, the taste became even weaker. I have been brewing this tea for decades and it has become boiled water. However, can you say that the tea is not good? No, it is not the tea itself that has changed, but time. But no matter
So, this is the law, this is the rule. Since you chose your lover when you were young, you must stick to it. As I said just now, this is the responsibility."
Berto stopped smiling and his expression became more serious. However, Talinnam still did not want to change the subject.
"But other lords have their own lovers...underground lovers...this is not a secret..."
Tarynham pressed. He was digging around, trying to find out how much Berto would tolerate such a thing, so he could decide whether he wanted to tell him the truth. After all, it might break his heart and ruin him for decades.
Something that is cherished and held fast to.
"They are them, and we are us. In short, I cannot indulge myself like others, so depraved and dirty. My body is longing for it, but my mind tells me not to even think about it."
Bertto said frankly——
"The whole world is dark and filthy, but I am still holding on. If everyone was like them, then the world would have been in chaos. In order to satisfy their own desires, they would do anything, and then the world would be far away from destruction.
Not far away. The reason why the civilized world is civilized is that it has order. Order allows everyone to live according to the rules so as not to fall into chaos. In fact, chaos lives in each of us. Control it and suppress it.
If you live in it, you can live a normal life. If you cannot control it, you will be corrupted and swallowed by chaos, and you will become a slave of desire."
Berto sat on a stool and talked.
Talinnam could only agree with a wry smile. There are too many things that Berto does not know. He is like an ideal person living in his own world. In his world, a knight is a knight. As a knight, he should abide by
All morals should be restrained by pure thoughts. As a husband, he should be responsible for his family and abandon all distracting thoughts in his heart. He has done it, but it may not be like this in the outside world... A man who has dedicated his whole life to
The people, the person dedicated to the ideal, the person with the most chivalrous spirit, in the end, still couldn't become a Holy Grail Knight. This made Talinnam feel a little emotional in his heart, is the goddess of the lake blind?
?If Berto cannot become the Knight of the Holy Grail, then what kind of person can meet the standards of the goddess? Thinking of this, Talinnam couldn't help but complain a little. He complained in his heart, but no one knew.
"Okay, don't think so much, have a good rest, we have to travel tomorrow. I believe that Heinrich's disaster will not be weaker than the Mogul invasion. Darkness is about to cover the earth, and you and I must
Keep up the good work, a fierce battle is not far away waiting for us."
Seeing that his attendant was a little uneasy, Berto couldn't help but put his hand on Talinnam's shoulder to comfort him.
