"Brother, from now on I'll just follow behind you!"
"Brother, you're amazing! I'm so proud of you!"
"Brother, it's alright. I believe you weren't the one who caused this."
Daniel's tacit agreement and the obedient face of the blond boy in his memory were strangely intertwined, and the thing that Alexei was so attached to shattered!
In the courtroom, Alexei, covered in blood, knelt before his father, his eyes bloodshot.
“Father, how can I prove to you that I did not harm Kirill?”
His father, Vladislav, looked at him with disappointment: "Alexei, my son, don't you understand what you should be doing?"
“You should prove to me that it wasn’t your doing, rather than that you didn’t want to hurt him.”
Alexei looked up in surprise: "Father...?"
I may want to hurt him, but shouldn't you be able to tell that it was my doing?
Kirill, isn't he your beloved son?
Vladislav, however, had no intention of continuing, only saying:
"Consider this a lesson Kirill taught you. You still have a lot to learn. Sure enough, letting you play around with all that nonsense all these years has ruined you."
"Go back and think about it carefully."
He waved his hand.
Alexei walked out of the door in a daze, stood in front of the huge French windows, looked at the magnificent manor outside, and suddenly laughed mockingly.
Because he missed his father, mother, and brothers, he had to temporarily give up pursuing his own dreams and wholeheartedly shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by his family.
In reality, his father thought he was wasting his life, his subordinates thought he was unreliable, and his obedient younger brother was just a wolf lurking around him.
He thought he was great, but now it seems he was nothing but a joke.
He wanted to leave, to escape this prison-like castle, to return to the glacier stage and play Adonis, just like the endless life he possessed.
However, this is just wishful thinking.
To outsiders, Alexei, upon his return, seemed to be living a muddled life, doing things but not truly taking them seriously.
He did not retaliate fiercely against his brother Kirill, but calmly cut his own robe in front of him.
Kirill didn't understand, but Daniel, who was quite knowledgeable about Middle-earth culture, explained the meaning to him.
It is worth mentioning that, to everyone's surprise, Alexei did not execute the traitor Daniel, but instead allowed him to return to Kirill's side.
Alexei is like a ghost in the shadows of the family, appearing in every family event, handling affairs, yet always seeming detached.
His thoughts became increasingly unpredictable, and his methods became increasingly cruel and ruthless.
"Clan leader, the eldest young master ordered the entire branch to be wiped out today, leaving no one alive, not even the family of the branch leader, Tuoxia. Such a violent act should be severely punished!"
The family's retainers vehemently denounced Alexei's crimes.
The chieftain glanced at his son, Alexei, who sat calmly, idly playing with the ice shards on his fingertips, showing no remorse for being reprimanded by his retainers.
"Alexei, what do you say?"
Alexei calmly stated, "Master Tosha is suspected of colluding with the Northern Falcon Family. Execution is not a problem."
He even affirmed his own actions.
Kirill, who had been watching his increasingly aloof brother closely, suddenly said:
“Father, I think that although my brother’s methods were too ruthless, at least he eliminated future troubles. If you think about it that way, he did a good job.”
This made it sound as if Kirill was a more mature and experienced older brother.
The matter was dropped.
That night, Alexei thought for a long time and finally decided to go to his father and tell him that he wanted to be a different kind of patriarch and create a powerful and different Walkerwoff family.
However, when he quietly went over, he overheard his father's conversation with the butler.
"Miss Lina's family has all been taken care of."
Aleksandr was stunned.
Lina was his "deceased" mother!
Then he heard his father's somewhat weary voice: "For Alexei's growth, this is a sacrifice that has no other choice."
Aleksey's face suddenly turned pale.
The steward then inquired about what the retainers had mentioned during the day.
The father's tone was tinged with helplessness and wariness: "My Alexei, there's a beast lurking in his heart."
"Perhaps one day, this beast will devour the entire Glacier Wolf family. But there's nothing we can do about it; our family's genes originally contained the genes of beasts."
Walkerwolf, in the North Sand language, means "wolf".
That night, Alexei ultimately did not enter his father's room.
...
The various ethnic groups in southern Beisha have been experiencing unrest recently.
The Walkerwaugh family, formerly the most powerful family in the South, has experienced several major events:
Young Master Kirill's mother was murdered; Kirill's men betrayed him; the three guilds of Walkerwoff disappeared in the secret passage; the patriarch recovered from a serious illness.
The changes in the Walkerwaffe family have stirred up undercurrents throughout the South.
In order to stabilize the situation, the clan chief resorted to the means of marriage alliance.
The Walker family will hold a grand family celebration, and at the celebration's ball and dinner, they will announce the marriage of Alexei and Kirill.
The grand preparations for the celebration began, but the two hosts were at loggerheads inside the castle.
Kirill stared bloodshot at the man sitting in the chair, trembling with rage, wishing he could tear a piece of flesh from him.
"My dear brother! I really underestimated your methods. I never expected that you, who had been so patient, would actually turn around and attack my mother!"
