Chapter 695: return

The Winter City at the end of October is already chilly.

Every time the autumn wind blows, it seems that the temperature drops by one degree.

The Lion's Roar Fort, which is located at the highest point of Winter City, has been coated with a thin layer of frost on the outer wall, shining with colorful rays of light under the sunlight.

The back garden of the castle is already desolate under the attack of the cold, but fortunately, the flower room still retains the colorful colors.

This flower house is not large, but it is indeed made of natural crystals. The bright sun shines through the crystal dome throughout the flower house. A copper pipe surrounds the flower house. From time to time, warm water vapor flows from the surface of the copper pipe. The small holes sprayed out, making the whole flower house warm as spring.

Only in this way can we maintain a rare vitality in the late autumn when everything is withering.

The most abundant flower in the flower room is the blood rose. .

Since the return of Silvermoon City and his party, the blood rose has become the favorite flower of the hostess of this castle.

Clusters of blood roses in full bloom made the whole flower house seem to be on fire.

In this "flame", Vera was concentrating on playing with the potted plant in front of her.

She was wearing a loose snow-white long dress, and her protruding belly had seriously affected her movements, but Vera still declined the help of the maid and trimmed the branches herself.

At this time, Vera's eyes were bright and focused, a few beads of sweat ooze out from her fair and clean forehead, her tall and beautiful nose bridge and slightly pursed red lips revealed a demure and beautiful temperament, and her slightly plump body due to pregnancy exuded With the brilliance of motherhood.

After a while, she put down the scissors and looked at her masterpiece carefully. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This pure and sweet smile seemed to make the autumn wind whistling outside the conservatory quiet.

But soon, the smile disappeared again.

Vera stared blankly at the Blood Rose in front of her, her beautiful brows furrowed again.

The maid on the side opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to persuade.

Ever since the news of Marquis Garcia's death came back to Winter City, Vera has been immersed in grief.

But she also knows that this is not good for the child in her womb. She always tries to use various methods to divert her attention and try to make herself happy, but the effect is always unsatisfactory.

pat.

A crystal teardrop smashed into pieces on the bright red petals.

"Mrs..."

"I'm fine." Vera took the silk scarf handed by the maid and quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes. While stroking her bulging belly, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

dong dong.

At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."

The housekeeper walked into the conservatory, and then quickly closed the door to prevent the cold air from blowing in.

"Basty, what's the matter?"

The housekeeper leaned over slightly and said:

"Madam, the Duke of St. Chapman has entered the city."

Vera was stunned for a moment, only to realize that her husband had changed his surname, and then she said with a look of surprise:

"So soon? Why didn't he send someone to report in advance?"

Saying that, she hurried out.

But the butler discouraged:

"Ma'am, the reason why the Duke of St. Chapman didn't report in advance is that he didn't want you to greet him. After all, you are pregnant, so you should wait here. The Duke of St. Chapman should be arriving at Lion's Roar Castle soon."

"Then I'll wait for him at the gate of the castle." Vera said and walked out.

The housekeeper was helpless, so he had to ask the maid to support Vera.

Gu Jiao</span> The group met Colin who had returned before they reached the gate of the castle.

Vera's eyes turned red again, and she took a few quick steps, and threw herself into her husband's arms like a swallow returning to her nest.

Colin carefully embraced his wife, not daring to exert any force, and said:

"Let's go inside, it's windy outside."

Vera raised her head, tears rolled down like broken pearls, and whimpered:

"Father... Where's the body of my uncle?"

Colin wiped away tears for his wife in distress, kissed her smooth forehead again, and said:

"I came back quickly. It is estimated that the coffin of Marquis Garcia will not arrive until two or three days."

Vera just nodded and walked towards the castle with the help of Colin.

"The matter of Marquis Garcia... I'm sorry." Colin hugged his wife and walked on the corridor, his tone was low, "I know he feels guilty about the withdrawal of troops from the West, and he also discouraged his suicide outside the Storm Fortress. , but did not expect…”

"I can't blame you for this." Verayi was in Colin's arms. "Actually, when I heard the news of the withdrawal of the army, I expected that my father would not continue to live. He was too proud, too lonely, and had too many burdens...

Moreover, I feel more and more that when my father adopted this effective but extremely extreme strategy, he was ready to atone for his sins, and even, this may be the result he wanted, because I have always I think my father... has a serious tendency to self-destruct..."

"Self-destructive tendencies?" Colin looked at his wife's profile in surprise.

"Yes. Ever since I can remember, I haven't seen my father smile really happily. Others think he is arrogant and difficult to get along with, but I learned from my grandmother that my father was not always like this.

When I was young, my father was very lively and cheerful, and even called naughty. He was a naughty child who gave grandmother a headache. "

"Really?" Colin blinked, somewhat surprised, "Then how did Marquis Garcia become like... taciturn?"

"I asked the old people in the clan, and they all said that my father has completely changed since he went to the Cang Qiong Icefield."

"So the war changed him?"

"It's possible." Vera squeezed her body into Colin's embrace and said, "But I think it's more than that..."

"Oh? What's your guess?"

"I asked my father about my mother..."

Colin raised his eyebrows, and his curiosity immediately came up: "Did Marquis Garcia tell you?"

Vera shook her head and said: "Father didn't say, just said he was sorry for mother... And, when he said this, I could clearly feel his pain and guilt, and even at that moment, I thought he wanted to die…"

"That's why you think he has a tendency to self-destruct..."

"Yes. UU reading Moreover, I have learned some of my father's experiences on the ice field in the sky. It is said that his performance on the battlefield is not only heroic, but even crazy!

He didn't care about his own life, he charged at the forefront of every battle..."

Colin had seen this with his own eyes.

Perhaps Marquis Garcia was able to have such a lofty prestige in the Black Cavalry because of his courageous and fearless spirit.

In this way, it is indeed a bit strange.

As a direct descendant of the Saint Hilde family, Marquis Garcia didn't need to risk his life to fight on the battlefield like this.

Perhaps it was because of Vera's mother, who kept Marquis Garcia secret, that turned him from a stubborn aristocratic boy into a berserker on the battlefield.

However, it was precisely because of Marquis Garcia's performance that this invincible black cavalry army was created.

"Do you think Marquis Garcia's tendency to self-destruct is because of your mother?"

"Yes." Vera's eyes showed deep loss, "It's just that what happened between father and mother, I'm afraid I'll never know..."
