Chapter 118 Princess
Chapter 118 Princess
"Does mother know about this?"
After Garland came to his senses, he spoke calmly.
Ron looked guilty when talking about his mother who passed away young.
All along, the person he felt the most sorry for was his wife.
He used to be a good man praised by everyone.
He and his wife were childhood sweethearts, and as adults they naturally came together because of an alliance between their two families.
He never had any thoughts about any woman, no matter when.
There was only room for Garland's mother.
Even his wife didn't know until Vincent's mother showed up.
He felt extremely guilty until his death.
"She never knew."
"Vincent, it was an accident."
Ron didn't explain that he didn't cheat, in his heart.
Whatever the explanation, Vincent already exists.
Even if he didn't want to, he still considered it a betrayal of his wife.
Vincent sneered inwardly.
Ron regretfully said it was an accident.
So, he also thought that he was supposed to be born into this world.
As expected, someone like him was originally the wrong person.
How can you get others' true love?
"I really shouldn't let my mother know."
Garland recalled the days before his mother's death, when she was so emaciated from illness.
The beautiful woman who was so bright and charming in the past has become just a body of flesh and blood in the hands of the disease.
"I'm sorry for your mother."
Ron lowered his head in shame and covered his eyes with his hands.
There was an air of sadness all over his body.
Ron's reluctance and remorse were so glaring to Vincent.
He is married, but he has an affair with his mother.
When the novelty wore off, he abandoned himself and his mother and returned to his family.
Pretend to be a good husband and a good father and repent in front of your children.
What a deep scheming.
"I am sorry for you..."
"Are you and Liz willing to forgive my mistakes?"
Ron's voice was trembling, and he never raised his head.
"Father, we are not qualified to forgive you on behalf of mother."
"If it's true as you said, Vincent is not your intentional child."
"I am willing to believe you."
Garland also hated Ron's infidelity to his mother at first.
But thinking of Lilith's innocent little face and seeing Ron like this.
He still relented.
Lilith had already lost her mother's love, and he didn't want to be affected by something like this.
I don't want this to create a rift between them.
After all, Lilith really regarded Ron as an idol.
Ron was not only a father to her, but also the most powerful and sacred being in the world.
He couldn't even imagine if all this would fall apart.
A look of despair appeared on Lilith's little face.
"Thank you, Garland."
Ron patted Garland's shoulder heavily.
He found that without realizing it, Garland had slowly grown into a man who could hold up half the sky on his own.
"Father is going to the Southern Continent this time, but..."
Thinking of the black eye that Vincent had replaced, Garland couldn't help but speak out.
"It's for Vincent's eyes."
Ron nodded, having put away his unnecessary emotions.
"Are these Vincent's biological mother's eyes?"
Garland thought about it and finally asked this question.
Because he always felt that Ron would not give Vincent a black eye.
Unless, the original owner of this eye was not a blue-blooded noble.
"Ah."
"She lost an eye, and her life from now on..."
"She's dead."
Thinking of the woman's appearance at the end, Ron spoke before Garland finished speaking.
She definitely won't live for more than a few days.
For a moment, Vincent's breathing suddenly stopped.
A nameless fire surged from the bottom of my heart.
This beam of fire completely burned open the dark door that was locked in his heart.
The seeds of resentment towards Ron sprouted.
It's hard to imagine that Ron killed his own mother.
He also gouged out her eyes for himself.
But he regards himself as a savior and a benefactor.
The room fell into silence, so quiet that the only sound could be heard was Vincent's uneven breathing.
Ron and Garland looked at each other, wondering if Vincent had woken up a long time ago.
Garland moved closer to Vincent and found that he still had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly.
The two of them then realized that they had worried too much.
"Vincent has suffered too much inhuman abuse since he was a child."
"Don't mention these things in front of him again."
Ron gave Garland some more instructions, then stood up and walked towards the study.
Lilith, who had been outside the door all the time, heard the noise inside the house and immediately ran to the corner of the corridor.
She felt mixed emotions, an indescribable surge of emotion.
Back in the study, Ron called Egg in alone.
Some things still need to be investigated.
"Eiger, have there been any letters sent from the Southern Continent in recent years?"
"this…"
Egg was stunned by the question and forgot all the reasons he and others had discussed on how to hide it from Ron.
“Why not give it to me!”
As soon as Ron saw Egg's reaction, he understood everything.
Egg has served him as his Rose Knight since he was a child.
So he can tell if there is something fishy just by looking at Egg's little movements or eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I acted on my own initiative."
"But the princess was seriously ill at that time."
"We don't want you to be entangled by that woman and affect your relationship with the princess!"
Egg fell to his knees and bowed his head to admit his mistake to Ron.
The three of them grew up together, and it was an open fact that Egg had a crush on Ron's wife since childhood.
But Ron's wife chose Ron from beginning to end.
Egg selfishly didn't want the appearance of the woman's letter to affect the princess' happy life.
A woman as beautiful as the princess is dead.
It should be said that he died in happiness.
"Because of your selfishness, Vincent has suffered so much in vain."
Ron was very disappointed with Egg's self-assertion and kept shaking his head.
No matter how shameless that woman is, the child is innocent.
"It's because I'm afraid you'll be as soft-hearted as you are now, that I..."
Egg was about to say something but stopped himself when he saw Ron's face becoming increasingly gloomy.
I also know that I have really crossed the line.
"Forget it. It's all my fault for causing such bad karma."
"I won't punish you this time."
"If you act on your own again in the future and disregard the royal law."
"Don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship."
After Ron finished speaking, he waved to Egg and leaned back in his chair.
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."
After thanking him, Egg immediately left the study, and Ron instantly became weak.
The handsome face seemed to have aged all of a sudden.
He stared at the old photo in his hand and recalled Garland's mother's smile in his mind.
Her personality is so similar to Lilith's.
Even though they are not biological children, they are better than biological children.
