Chapter 324: Memories of Love
When the news of King Syat's death spread, it immediately caused great shock.
After the news of selecting a new king spread, several major families in Siat immediately took it seriously. After careful consideration, they all sent important members to the royal capital.
The selection of a new king is extremely important and is likely to change the power structure of Syat, so they all attach great importance to it.
Another invisible thing also caught the attention of many people.
King Syat and Duke Roman have both passed away. Among the Syat nobles today, the only extraordinary monarchs are Marquis Rad, the "Volcano Dragon", and Marquis Samuel, the "White Spirit", from Castleton.
The relationship between these two families is very good. When the power of these two families is combined, they are actually the strongest in the country.
At present, the position of the Hoven family in Syat has been completely replaced by the Fisher family, not to mention the Yadley royal family who already resides in the royal capital.
Therefore, there were a total of seven major families that came to the capital of Syat.
They are the "Angels of Night" Roman family, the "Mist Walkers" Abernathy family, the "Burning Blood Dragon" Castleton family, the "Angel of Wrath" Jones family, the "Song of Ruins" Middle family, the "Beast of Desolation" Fessack family, and the Fisher family which is gradually rising on the east coast.
Because the blood power displayed by the Fisher family has always been rather confusing, the nicknames that the public uses when referring to their family are also rather confusing. Generally speaking, they are titles that are not taken seriously, such as "Fisherman", "East Coast Fisherman", "Latecomer", and "Newcomer".
Through the sea route, the Fisher family once again arrived in the royal capital.
This largest city in Syat remains the same as always, a mixture of prosperity and tranquility. When they first entered the city, the members of the Fisher family seemed to be seeing a vivid historical picture scroll.
Darren took a deep breath.
“I’m in this city again.”
The capital of Syat is located in a basin surrounded by mountains. The ancient and tall city walls stand majestically, and the streets paved with blue stone slabs crisscross like giant snakes winding around.
There is a river called "Yadley River" running through the city. The water is clear and sparkling, and from time to time you can see several ships loaded with cargo passing by on the river.
Byrne, Chris, Darren and many followers of the Fisher family came to the best urban area of the capital of Syat and lived in a luxurious villa used to receive foreign nobles.
In another seven days, King Syat's funeral will be held.
Because many nobles had to come from all over the world and it took them different amounts of time, the interval between King Syat's death and his funeral would be a bit long.
The Fisher family temporarily lived in the villa. They knew that in the next few days, all the major families in the city would probably have some private exchanges.
Even everyone may have some little thoughts.
The next day, Aldrich Romen, the "Dragon Tamer" of the Romen family, came to the door.
In the hall of the villa, Byrne walked forward with a smile, nodded and said:
"Mr. Aldridge, long time no see."
Aldridge was still dressed very gentlemanly and decent. He first responded to the greeting, then frowned, shook his head and said, "What a pity, we are all here anyway."
Darren also came over and greeted Lord Aldridge calmly.
Byrne smiled slightly and continued, "It seems that you are still very wary of the Yadley royal family and have never wanted to come here, but in the end you had to come to the Siat royal capital."
"It must be because of the pressure within the family, right?"
Aldridge had no choice but to give in. He nodded and said, "That's true. The election of a new king will have too great an impact on the interests of the Roman family. Although I really don't want to get involved, everyone in the Roman family is against my idea."
"Some of them feel that if the Roman family does not gain the favor of the new king as soon as possible, it will be very disadvantageous for future development."
He paused and said calmly: "I think whether the new king will have a good impression of the Roman family depends on the power of the Roman family itself."
Aldrich still opposed the members of the Roman family coming to the capital of Syat, but the matter of selecting a new king was too important, and it might even exclude the Roman family from the center of power.
Therefore, his unfounded proposal was directly met with strong opposition from family members.
The last time he offended King Syat, he had already been questioned. This time King Syat had passed away, and Aldridge really had no new statement.
Even though he thought that King Syat might have faked his death, the announcement issued by the Cardinal "Silver Hermit" of the Church of Redemption was very credible.
So, under pressure from within the family, he had no choice but to come to the capital of Syat with "Fire" Amos. Before leaving, he forced Ariel to stay in the territory, so that even if something happened to the two of them, they would have some room for maneuver in the future.
At this moment, Darren suddenly asked, "Mr. Aldridge, why do you think there is something wrong with King Siat?"
Aldridge paused for a moment and replied calmly, "Regarding the matter of the Tranquil Order, I will gather all the clues and hand them over to King Siat after I come back."
"King Syat sent the capable Lady 'Silver Poetry' Afaf to investigate, but in the end she didn't find anything."
"Even the various clues that were found before were erased at the first opportunity."
He paused, frowned and said, "The reaction of the Tranquility Cult is a bit too quick. I have been wondering whether King Siat is colluding with the Tranquility Cult."
"It's just a pity that I'm still just guessing and don't have any evidence."
"I see."
Byrne and his son Darren looked at each other, both lost in thought.
Three days later.
A heavy rain swept across the entire capital of Syat.
The raindrops hit the ground like dense bullets, splashing countless tiny water droplets. After splashing on the ground, these water droplets flickered in the air like short-lived fireworks.
A large amount of rain water flowed down the eaves and trees on both sides of the street, forming long and thin curtains of water that intertwined with the accumulated water on the ground to form a flowing painting.
The lights on both sides of the street looked hazy and mysterious in the rain, and the light became soft and mottled under the refraction of raindrops. The buildings in the distance were looming in the rain, as if covered by a layer of gauze, adding a bit of hazy beauty.
“Pah pah pah pah!”
The rain kept hitting the windows, making crackling sounds, interweaving with the roar of thunder in the distance to form an exciting symphony.
Outside the villa where the three members of the Fischer family were temporarily living, people wearing rubber raincoats were running in the pouring rain.
A brown-haired young man, wearing a gray cloak that had long been soaked by rain, hid one hand under his body.
Under his cloak were plain and sturdy clothes. Rain dripped down the brim of his black hat, leaving cold streaks on his cheeks, but he didn't care. His eyes were firmly fixed ahead, as if the letter in his hand was the only important thing in this rainstorm.
His breathing was a little rapid but steady, his steps were quick and powerful, and every step he took in the muddy puddles splashed water. The rain hit his back, making a "pa pa" sound.
Suddenly a strong wind blew, causing the brown-haired young man to hold the letter in his hand tightly, fearing that it would be blown away by the raging wind and rain.
He leaned forward hard, fighting against the wind and rain. Every step seemed so difficult yet so determined.
Finally, the messenger arrived at the villa and knocked on the door.
He saw the servant coming out of the door. It was a familiar Dawnbreaker, even from the same period.
The wet messenger nodded and said, "This urgent letter is an important item sent by the family. Please be sure to give it to Lord Byrne immediately!"
"Understood."
The Dawnbreaker took the letter, then went to the second floor of the villa and knocked on Byrne's door.
At this moment in the room, Byrne and Darren were talking about the ten pillar families.
"Come in."
Soon, the Dawnbreaker pushed the door open and handed in the still dry letter.
"Mr. Byrne, this is your letter. It says it is an urgent letter sent from the family!"
"Okay, thank you for the trouble of the messenger. Go and entertain him."
Byrne took the letter with a smile, and was stunned after opening it. He even remained silent for a long time after reading the letter.
Darren suddenly noticed something was wrong with his father. At this moment, he seemed to have really aged, and he stood there for a long time without moving.
Byrne put the letter down, covered his head and paced back and forth, feeling somewhat helpless deep down.
Although he had anticipated this, he never expected that this day would actually come.
After a long moment, Byrne turned to look at Darren, who seemed like a brother rather than a son. He opened his mouth to speak the contents of the letter, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.
"What is it, father?"
"Margaret..." Byrne whispered that very important name softly, his voice inadvertently became extremely hoarse, and his hands were shaking.
"Your mother passed away in her sleep. She..."
Darren was also stunned after hearing this. He took a deep breath and tears kept flowing from his eyes.
Byrne walked over, patted his son's shoulder gently, walked to the bed with unsteady steps, looked at the heavy rain outside, and felt extremely complicated emotions deep in his heart.
Pedestrians on the streets outside held up black umbrellas and walked quickly through the wet streets. Numerous umbrellas danced in the rain like blooming black flowers.
The raindrops hit the umbrella, making a crisp sound. Occasionally a breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness and taking away the stuffiness and humidity in the air.
After staring out the window for a long time, he took a deep breath, knowing deep down that until the last moment, Margaret was still a loyal believer of Ms. Moon Shadow.
That woman was the only pagan Lillian would ever love.
I am the same, I still love her.
"Margaret..."
"I don't regret falling in love with you, I never regret it, but I want to confess to you... I shouldn't have fallen in love with you, because I can't give you all my love after falling in love with you."
The last time the two met was several years ago, when Darren's third child was born...
I climbed the fifth step alone and survived.
Since then, you knew that this day would come, right?
This is the extraordinary person.
I see.
The so-called transcendent people, once they step into the extraordinary ladder, from then on, the rhythm of their destiny will no longer be the same as that of ordinary people.
Extraordinary people have their own life, world, and destiny. The more powerful they are, the further away they will be from ordinary people, until they are so powerful that they no longer have anything in common with any ordinary people.
"Byrne, I'm pregnant! It's true! I'm really pregnant!"
Margaret's joyful voice suddenly rang in her mind.
He suddenly felt very uncomfortable and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Scenes of his time with Margaret decades ago kept flashing through his mind, and tears finally flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Love seems to be a curse. All the memories about her are so deep that it is impossible to forget them.
At this moment, those memories came flooding back one after another, and her voice echoed continuously.
"Byrne, I like you very much!"
"Kiss me, Byrne!"
"Why do you keep forcing yourself to be so tired?"
"Actually, I'm kind of wondering, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Byrne, are you hiding something from me?"
"Why are you always unwilling to explain clearly? I have never hidden anything from you!"
"Let's have another baby, okay?"
"I'm sorry, Byrne, I'm just a little tired lately."
“…”
"Well, I'm going back to Fein City to rest for a while. After I'm done resting, I'll come back to Nasir. I should be back soon."
