"I always feel... it's too dark." Vivian made a comment that made people laugh.
"Don't make fun of me." Palamedes said a little unhappy. Palamedes, who was originally a black panther, put on a black dress. Except for a small amount of white shirt exposed at the collar, almost from head to toe.
They are all black and a bit hard to distinguish.
When the Leopard Warrior was asked to attend the memorial service of his "father" Sphinx, Palamedes was actually in a very uneasy mood. Logically speaking, he should feel sad, but in fact he felt nothing.
.
"You really can't feel sad, this unfilial son?" Vivian saw through her husband's thoughts and asked slightly sarcastically.
"It would be unnatural if I could feel sad." The big cat then replied: "I have only known that I was an orphan since I was sensible. In fact, I was raised by Phileos and a group of other older children.
The older one, Philaeos, was like my brother, and I would be sad to say he was gone. But Daddy Sphinx... To be honest, I didn't even know him a little over a month ago.
I met him. He suddenly recognized me as his son, and then suddenly left, leaving me such a large fortune... I don't even know what reaction I should make. Is it right?
Are you surprised, happy...or are you pretending to be sad in front of others?"
His acting skills have never been the best. Even if he deliberately pretends to be sad, it will probably be fake, the kind of fakeness that people can see through at a glance.
"You, just be yourself." Vivian replied, "You and Daddy Sphinx don't have a deep relationship. Even if you can't feel sad, others will understand ------
Of course, you can’t show your happiness in front of Father Sphinx’s men.”
"It's really difficult..." the leopard warrior said with a bitter smile: "Vivian, won't you attend this memorial service with me?"
"I'll forget it." The succubus shook her head and said, "I'm not your real wife in name. Suddenly appearing as your wife at your father's memorial service may not be recognized. If I follow the past, it will only make things worse.
It just gets more complicated. Just go with the kids."
The children she is talking about, of course, refer to the three sons of Palamedes, the eldest son Sephir, the second son Seglade, and the youngest son Little Hal. The strange thing is that the Sphinx father
He clearly gave a large share of his property to Palamedes and his two sons, Sefir and Seglade, but did not give any property to Little Hal. Could it be said that Father Sphinx did not have any property at all?
Knows the existence of Hal? Or, in other words, does he know from the beginning that little Hal is just a child adopted by the Paramedes?
"We're ready, meow." Speaking of the three sons, Saifer and Seglade were changing into their formal attires and coming out with the little leopard. This time, little Hal attended the memorial service under his true identity.
appeared instead of being replaced by Karl. ------Vivian initially proposed not to let the real Hal attend the memorial service to avoid being targeted by Kaos and Morgoth. But Paramidi
Si vetoed Vivian's proposal, but his sons still had to go see their "grandpa" in person.
Despite this, Sefir and Seglade's feelings for Father Sphinx are actually almost the same as Paramedis's feelings for Father Sphinx. They have only met Father Sphinx.
It's almost impossible to feel sad for someone you've never met before. It's even worse for Hal. The child has never even met Father Sphinx.
Is it really okay to go to the memorial service like this? Palamedes couldn't help but feel worried.
"You guys, it's best to remain silent at the memorial service and don't say anything, do you understand?" Palamedes sighed.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" Leopard youth Seglade asked: "As one of the most important guests, and considered to be the biological son of Daddy Sphinx, daddy, you should be responsible for delivering the eulogy, right?"
Meow?"
"The people over there will be responsible for preparing this. It is said that I just need to recite it." Paramedis shrugged and said, "Pray for me, I hope I won't make a fool of myself at the memorial service."
In the past few decades, Father Sphinx is said to have rescued countless orcs in dire straits in various African countries. There are many people who have received the kindness of Father Lion Man, and many of them even regard the old man as his father.
Dad worshiped and respected him like an idol, and was willing to go through life and death for him. If Palamedes made a fool of himself at the memorial service, he would deliberately offend thousands of people at once, which is really scary to think about.
"Hmm..." Bedivere walked out of the cabin, also wearing a solemn black dress.
"So little Bedi also plans to attend the memorial service? Doesn't the injury on his body matter?" Paramedis asked when he saw Bediwell walking into the lounge. He felt like he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
, after all, he and his three sons were the only ones attending the memorial service, so he always felt a little guilty. An extra companion would make him more courageous, right?
"I received a mysterious invitation letter and was invited by a stranger who I had only met twice." Bedivere said without emotion, "But since the other party specially sent a letter to invite me, I think
I should attend the memorial service, and I happen to be free. Wouldn't it be rude not to go?"
"Yes, really." Palamedes smiled bitterly. Generally speaking, no one would send out invitations specifically to invite people to attend someone's memorial service. If it is a wedding or other festive ceremony, it is possible. Who is not wise?
The guy actually sent out an invitation like that?
"I heard that Al will also go?" Bedivere asked: "It seems that I haven't seen him come back and prepare."
"Little Tiger will probably go directly from the hotel." Palamedes replied: "I even doubt that he still doesn't know that all the combat modules of the Dawn were destroyed, leaving only the life module.
"
"Really?" Bedivere groaned, seeming to be shocked.
"Don't be like this. After all, everyone is back alive, isn't it?" Paramedis said again: "Give it enough time, the combat module can always be repaired. The Egyptian government and the Knights of Great Britain will even help you
I’ve paid all the repair costs, so there’s no pressure.”
"That's not what I'm worried about." The werewolf young man muttered, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Saifer, where is His Royal Highness Prince Said? Have you gone back?"
"Go back, meow." The leopard man young man replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince's injury was the lightest among us, it seems to be just a slight concussion, meow. His men quickly removed him from the battleship of Great Britain.
He was picked up by Li, and we didn’t even have time to say goodbye."
"Really? His Highness the Prince was frightened. I need to apologize to him properly next time we meet." Bedivere replied casually.
"Leave that to me, meow." But Saifei said, "Mr. Bedivere has no responsibility. In order to protect us, you even risked your own life to lure Moby Dick away. Meow. If you hadn't done this at that time,
, we may have all been killed by Moby Dick, meow. You have done enough, I don’t think anyone will have any complaints against you, meow.”
"Um------"
"What are you still chatting about? The transport boats have arrived." Vivian interrupted everyone's conversation, "Let's go quickly, don't be late for that kind of occasion."
"Indeed." It would be so terrifying to offend a group of orcs who worshiped Father Sphinx. Paramedis shuddered just thinking about it, and urged: "Let's go."
Bar."
At the same time, in the auditorium at the entrance of the Cairo Grand Hotel.
"Quig," Albert looked at the young leopard man next to him who was wearing a suit that he bought temporarily and didn't fit very well. "If you saw the Sphinx in the coffin at the memorial service,
Dad, if he wasn’t the dad who saved you back then, what would you do?”
"I'll be happy..." The young leopard man scratched his nose uncomfortably: "Isn't it weird?"
"No, it should be a normal reaction for people to be happy." Albert said. After all, the savior he admired back then may still be alive, which is a good thing for Queeg.
"But even if you make a mistake and the father Sphinx in the coffin is not the father you know, please don't show your happy face in front of people. Can you do it?"
"I'll give it a try..." Queeg said. This leopard is particularly upright, and what he thinks in his heart is often reflected on his face. If he is really happy, he may not be able to restrain himself at all.
Maybe. If it was just the wrong person, it is understandable that Queeg would be happy. But what if the leopard looked happy in front of a group of orcs who were mourning their father? ------ He would probably be beaten by a group of orcs who were mourning their father.
The angry orcs beat him to death. Just thinking of this made Albert feel terrible.
"This will definitely not work." Mutt, the cat boy on the side, said quietly: "It's not that the leopard's acting skills are bad, but that he doesn't know how to act at all. If you bring him in to attend the memorial service like this, it will definitely cause big problems.
."
"At first I was convinced that it must be the same old man." The tiger man said helplessly: "But now I think about it again, if I make a mistake, the consequences will be really serious..."
"Qui, Queig will try to act..." the Leopard Man young man replied. But he said it in such an uncertain tone, which only made people more worried.
"...Speaking of which, what if the dad in the coffin and the dad in your memory, Queeg, are really the same person?" Mutt asked again, "Would you collapse at the memorial service?"
, holding the coffin and suddenly started crying?"
"Try, it won't work if you try..." the young leopard man said again, and he still looked uncertain.
A drop of sweat broke out on Albert's forehead. The problem may be more serious than he thought. Queeg really can't act. He probably doesn't even know what a poker face is, the kind that directly expresses emotions, anger, sorrow and joy.
The person on his face. If you get the wrong person, that guy will definitely smile at the memorial service------and then be beaten to death; anyway, even if it is really the same dad, this guy will definitely
Break down, howl, and disrupt the order of the memorial service.
