I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 964 Su Wen's Story

While Su Wen was analyzing this matter, he slowly turned the page of the book in his hand to the next page.

He liked this peaceful and gentle atmosphere very much, especially the beautiful courtyard of the Duke's manor halfway up the mountain.

In the courtyard, the snow has not yet completely melted, but the sky has cleared up, with an extremely lofty and lonely temperament.

It is early spring in Moscow.
just,

Compared to the gentle spring in the south of China, this place is more like a northern city that has not yet completely escaped the cold winter.

However, even in this season, the courtyard is still breathtakingly beautiful.

Some of the tall trees were still covered with some snowflakes that had not completely melted. They were sparkling in the sunlight.

And hidden in those low bushes are small flowers of various bright colors. They bloom proudly in the cold wind, as if showing their tenacity and beauty to the world.

It can be seen,
The place has been maintained so well that it can be said that there is no flaw at all.

However, just as he was flipping through a book to relax, he didn't know how much time had passed, and the Duchess Angela, who had finished her official business, had already walked quietly to his side.

She was wearing an exquisite white long dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, and she really was like a true princess of the North.

that's it,
Angelica, with a reserved and noble temperament, gently sat down on the chair next to Su Wen.

just,

Whenever she thought about what happened just now, she always felt a little guilty:

“Mr. Rhine, I have always believed that Moscow, and even the entire Russian Federation and the entire global civilization, will make greater progress in the future.

but now,
I really have some doubts.”

Having said this, Angelica paused for a moment, then she lowered her head slightly and continued:
“Can I really do this?

Can I really shoulder the responsibility of Archduke Christopher?
During this time, I have seen too much, too many nobles who just regarded themselves as parasites hiding behind their providers.

They forgot the honor and responsibility of the nobility and only knew how to pursue pleasure and spend extravagantly.

They even used the blood of the poor people as food and squeezed their bodies dry until the last bit of fat was squeezed out.

I don't want to be one of them.
But at this critical moment,
But I still need to rely on you and feel at ease after you come up with a backup plan.

I’m terrible. ”

just,

When Su Wen heard the self-blame in her words, he understood and shook his head.

After all, this incident should have been handled by her personally, and it was a critical time point for her to grow.

It was my own fault.

So he squatted down slightly, then looked directly into Angelica's slightly lowered delicate eyes and said gently:

"If we come to this,
Let me tell you a story:

Once upon a time, there was a little boy whose parents were often away from home because of work.

He was often the only one left in the huge house. So, when night fell, the only sound echoing in the empty house was his own footsteps. He learned to fill his lonely time with books and imagination.

But because his parents were away for a long time, the children in the town began to point fingers at him and sometimes even deliberately provoke him.

Do you know what he did later?"

He asked gently,

But until this moment, Angela finally felt that his words seemed to have some unusual tenderness.

That was the real him, not the savior named Rhine.

So the Duke's daughter shook her head slightly but also seemed to realize something.

But then, Su Wen gave the final answer:

"He took the iron rod from home, wrapped it with a cloth strip, picked the time when the kids were alone, and beat them all to the ground one by one.

Even when the group of kids behind him wanted to surround him, he would always pick the leader and beat him. Even if his head was bleeding and his teeth were knocked out, he would still carry out the concept of tooth for tooth and blood for blood to the end.

If you can't scare them by beating them, then beat them until they are almost dead and then ask them this question.

From then on, he became the boss of this small circle, and no one dared to look up at him anymore.

This is what I experienced.

Angelia,

this is life.

You can't be afraid. When you feel lonely and want to retreat, the more you can't retreat. Instead, tell yourself that you have done well.

Look at them, look at those peepers who only dare to hide in the dark.

I can tell you clearly that they are more scared than you are!"

Speaking of which,

Su Wen did not continue to tell the story. Instead, he answered another question from Angelica:
"As for the so-called glory belonging to the 'nobility' that you just mentioned.

As Tolstoy once wrote in War and Peace
(I, Pierre Bezukhov, was once a nobleman who only knew how to enjoy himself, but the war and the suffering of the people awakened me.

It also made me realize that a true noble should not be satisfied with personal comfort, but should have the courage to take on responsibilities and fight for the future of the country and the happiness of the people.

This responsibility, like a heavy cross, makes it difficult for me to walk, but it also allows my soul to ascend to heaven. }
That's right,

The title of nobility is both an honor and a shackle.

But I hope you can be happy.

I wish happiness to the girl I once saw, who was not yet called Archduke Christopher.

Angelia, true happiness should never be a shackle.

just,

We live in this world, we make up this world, and naturally we will be caught up in the countless trajectories of this world.

So you don't need to have any pressure.

And I. "

Hearing him say this,

Angelica burst into tears. She subconsciously wiped away the tears that kept flowing from her eyes, and then lowered her head:
"You said these words,
I didn't cry.

Really

Don’t look at it.”

----------------

Time passed slowly, the sun set, the stars appeared, and night fell quietly.

The lights in the courtyard gradually lit up, adding a touch of warmth and romance to this beautiful manor, but also completely covering up the daytime interlude with the starry night.

The time for rest is always so short.

From now on,
Night is the main stage for the Night Watch.

The night was as dark as ink, and the streets and alleys of Moscow were filled with an indescribable atmosphere of tension.

Julis stood in the shadow of the highest point of an ancient and solemn church. She closed her eyes slightly, but countless voices were clearer in her ears:

"Sifana,

How is the infiltration going?"

Hearing her say this, this Level 3 Disguise Master who was directly under Angelia and on the same level as her was leaning against a monitoring room at the center of a nuclear crisis.

"What does infiltration mean?"

A man slowly fell down behind Sifana, and his figure was even quietly twisted by Sifana into an invisible cover.

But obviously,

In order to prevent the trigger from triggering his death, he simply entered a state of suspended animation.

Then, Sifana's figure perfectly copied his appearance:
"I'm afraid you don't know.
I’m done here.”
