There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Listening to Arturo's narration, Viviana smiled bitterly, tears seeming to fall from the corners of her eyes.

Since that night, Walter saw her less and less frequently, from once a week to once a month, two months, and even half a year.

The last time I saw him was on the day my mother passed away.

At that time, Walter's face was as gloomy as water, and no expression could be seen on his face. He just walked into the house silently, picked up Lucinda's body, and walked out the door.

That night, he came to see her again. The father and daughter sat opposite each other, and no one spoke.

It was not until the clock struck midnight that Walter sighed and walked out.

The next day, little Viviana followed the royal orchestra to Casimir and settled down under Russell's protection.

She also tried to tell Walter that she wanted to stay, but in the end she was unable to raise her head and could not say the three words "I want to stay".

Walter is an elector and has no marriage relationship with her mother Lucinda. Her birth is a secret. If it is discovered by others, it will make her mother sad and cause trouble for Walter.

"This... is your past."

After listening to Viviana's narration quietly, Arturo felt a wealth of emotions through the Originium skills he had left on Viviana.

A mixture of emotions passed through her heart, and Arturo sifted through them one by one, sorting them into where they belonged.

The joy of meeting blood relatives, the sadness of the mother's death, the confusion of being sent away by the father, and the fear of arriving in an unfamiliar environment for the first time.

After all sorts of emotions, a hatred as strong as blood appeared in Arturo's heart.

I hate her for treating her mother like this!

So... to myself!

This made Arturo look up in surprise.

Viviana in front of her had bloodshot eyes, her teeth clenched, and her body was even shaking from exerting too much force.

Seeing this, Talina next to her hurried to Viviana's side and looked at Arturo with a bad expression.

Arturo's face turned dark and he took a few steps back obediently.

What does this have to do with her?

She was just guiding Viviana's inner emotions, but she had no idea what Viviana's specific emotions were.

But Talina didn't care about that. From her perspective, Viviana became like this under Arturo's guidance, so Youyan unsheathed it again.

However, before Youyan could put his hand on Arturo's shoulder, Viviana took the initiative and pushed him down.

"I'm... fine."

With an expression that looked more like crying than laughing, Viviana pulled Talina to her side.

Being held in Viviana's arms, Talina was unable to move. She could only warn Arturo with her eyes.

After a few barely audible sobs, Viviana stood up, pulled Talina and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Arturo changed his tone and began to show Viviana the...

the other side.

"Try it again, Miss Viviana. Imagine yourself returning to the most vivid moment in your memory..."

"That day, your father held your hand and walked down the seemingly endless stairs... You didn't look up."

"I can't look up..."

"Because if I look up, my father will see the tears in my eyes, and..."

resentment!

She had already lost her mother, why push her away?

She has nothing left, why would you... abandon her?

Why did she lose her father at the same time as her mother?

Why did he write to her to ask her to come back, but then leave when she was full of expectations?

Even though little Malin couldn't speak yet, even though he hadn't heard his own children call him grandpa, even though...

There are too many regrets between them.

Arturo didn't say anything else. She just stood there quietly looking at Viviana, gazing at the ripples in her lake-like eyes.

If silence is also a form of expression based on sound, then their emotions can still resonate without melody.

Resentment, unwillingness, pain, the same emotions were also reflected in Arturo's eyes.

She sighed softly and used the most gentle tone to awaken the person who was trapped in memories.

"The story... should end."

"Ms. Viviana, Elector Woerner is my friend. Our acquaintance was very ordinary, so ordinary that it is not worth telling."

"A few months ago, he sent a messenger to find me while I was traveling."

"At that moment, he knew his time was running out. All he wanted was to be able to see his beloved again... through the sound of my piano."

"He wants to...see his mother?"

Pausing hesitantly, Viviana looked back at Arturo.

"Not just Lucinda, but you as well."

Arturo, who had already stayed in that tower countless times, could easily tell Viviana details that she didn't know. In other words, she knew her better than Viviana did.

"In addition to reminiscing about the time he loved Lucinda, Walter spent most of his time lingering in the small room in the tower."

"Those nights he spent snuggling with you, mother and daughter, were his only comfort during the most painful period of his early years as Emperor-Elect."

"That's how I know your story in the tower."

Listening to Arturo's words, Talina raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it because of your Originium skills?"

"No."

Facing the aggressive Tarina, Arturo returned to his previous calm self.

She already knew Valtarina's temper, and as long as she didn't take advantage of Vivianina (mouth full of rage), they would probably be able to get along.

should.

"I have seen you countless times in Walner's heart, and I think many people have told you that you and your father are indeed very similar."

"But when I really met you, I realized that you were completely different from your father. You were not that flickering, fragile candle."

"You are much more resilient and powerful than the candle flame itself."

After saying this, Arturo shook his arms gently, and the chains that bound her rattled.

"Okay, that's pretty much all I can tell you."

"The Elector of Woerner died because of a copy of the Golden Rule. What I know is exactly the same as what you know."

"...You told me that he already knew what he would die from, right?"

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Viviana reached out and rubbed Talina's head twice.

"Yes."

Arturo nodded affirmatively. "Protecting the Golden Rule is his promise to the twins, and it's Elector Shi Tongling's responsibility."

"Whether it was the movement or the loss of the music, Shi Tongling cannot escape blame."

"Only by sacrificing his life for the music can he protect his loved ones and the Hochberg family while getting this crisis, which is bound to explode, out of his territory."

Under Viviana's expectant gaze, Arturo told her the "truth" he knew.

With her palms clenched tightly together, Viviana turned her head back and left with Talina.

Only when they reached the door did Viviana stop and said, as if asking a question or talking to herself, "Is this all for the Golden Rule?"

In the distance, Arturo, who had already undone the shackles on his wrists, nodded and moved his wrists.

"Everything...is for the Golden Rule."

Volume 8: Chapter 33: Nostalgia

After walking around the Black Emperor's tower, Viviana understood the inside story and left with Talina.

When they arrived below, Hildegard had already left her tower, and the incense that had been burning before had gone out, without a trace of smoke.

In other words, Hildegard had been gone for at least half an hour, almost as soon as they went up.

I don’t know if it’s confidence or boldness.

The corners of Talina's mouth twitched, and she followed Viviana out.

No wonder no one came to find them when they just pierced the magic protection. It turned out that the owner of the tower had already left.

After following Viviana back home, Talina took a short rest in the living room, while Viviana locked herself in the house as before.

Because of her father's death, the Queen gave Viviana two days off, so she had nothing to do during these two days.

Hearing a noise in the house, Maria, who was alone at home, gently opened the door, poked her little head out and observed the situation outside.

When she saw Talina, her eyes lit up instantly. She pulled the door with her little paws and ran out trembling.

"came back?!"

I couldn't see her face for a long time and I could see some fatigue on it, but it was still masked by her energy.

It was her first time going out alone, but after a brief period of adaptation, she quickly got used to it, just as Mainna said.

The fastest way for a person to grow is to travel and gain experience.

Now the youngest child of the Linguang family is walking on this path.

"Um, sorry, something happened yesterday and I left you there."

Rubbing Maria's soft face, Talina said apologetically.

Not only did he stand her up, but he also left Maria alone at the station. Although Maria said it was nothing, she still felt bad about it.

Now that Werner is dead, things around him are coming one after another, and Maria's matter has become the last thing on the list.

Because they had Mainna to back them up, they could finally take a break.

But now that she had the rare opportunity, she began to discuss with Maria.

"I do have some clues about Uncle Snitzer and the others, but it's been over 20 years now, and I guess many of the buildings have disappeared, so..."

Hesitantly, Talina played with her fingers.

The first battlefield when the Witch King was conquered was not at the Witch King Tower, but at the border of present-day Trilinterme, a place called Ludwig University. That was the first battlefield.

The Witch King's Tower is just the place where the Witch King fell, and the place where the twin suns rise is in Ludwig.

"Although Luther King University is called a university, it's actually a tower for a noble family. If we want to get in, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Rubbing her temples, Talina said with some embarrassment.

Today, Ludwig University is run by the Utica family. During the reign of the Witch King, they could enter whenever they wanted without having to worry about anything.

But nowadays...

Sorry, if you want to get in, you must have a letter of recommendation from a noble, and the level cannot be low. If it is too low, they will not even welcome you.

Originally, they could have gotten the letter of recommendation from Walter, but now Walter has just passed away, and Talina can't ask for it.

"Don't worry, my uncle will be here in two days. We'll climb in then. Mr. Tolan is an expert in this area!"

Maria waved her hand nonchalantly and spoke in a rather open-minded manner.

As a bounty hunter, Tolan has done a lot of robbery and is quite good at it.

Click...

Just as the two were discussing something, Viviana's door suddenly opened.

After changing her clothes and letting her hair down, she looked less sharp and more gentle, without that decadent air.

Holding two letters in her hands, Viviana came to Talina and handed the letters to her.

"Go ahead, and remember to come back early in the evening."

"This is..."

Looking at the Hochberg family emblem on the letter, Talina hesitated to take it.
