But these are things in the past, and Catherine's description is not very detailed. In fact, it is said that after Hyde's great-grandfather was killed in a sailing expedition when he was fifty, his elf princess also disappeared. Some say that he died in battle with the prince, some say that he died due to sadness, and some say that he returned to the land of the high elves. This has become a mystery in the Principality of Tubalo, and even the gossip-loving Catherine does not know it. But in a sense, this is also the normal result of the union of humans and elves, because the life gap of hundreds of years cannot be healed, and the long youth of elves is beyond the reach of humans. A 120-year-old high elf commoner only looks like a thirty-one or twelve-year-old human, while his human lover has long since turned into dust. The aging of elves generally occurs rapidly in the few years before death, unlike humans. Getting older is completely different. In fact, an elf living in human society often goes through more than six or seven marriages, stays with his lover for about ten to twenty years, and quietly disappears after the child becomes an adult. It is their practice. "Love with short-lived people is always a beautiful and fleeting bubble. The wise people of Ulthuan see the beauty among the bubbles, while the confused people of Ulthuan will turn themselves into sad bubbles." This It is a famous saying of Teldes, the high elf mercenary captain who became famous in the empire a hundred years ago and the exiled nobleman of Ulthuan. This handsome elf mercenary knight has formed eighty-two relationships with Bretonnia in the empire. , leaving behind more than a hundred mixed-race children until he died in a duel with a Chaos Demon. This statement also has meaning, because once a high elf with delicate emotions is truly in love, he is likely to die quickly due to the death of his lover, and hundreds of years of youth and everything will be wiped out. In fact, it is said that Teldes's sister is a model of "turning into bubbles" and has become a warning example for the elves. The beautiful elf girl fell in love with the human warrior and died a month after the human warrior died in battle. At that time, she was only the equivalent of an eighteen-year-old human. Once the deep and sensitive heartstrings of the high elves are truly touched, the flame of love will burn them out. In a sense, this is why the elves are unwilling to show true love to humans, but only pursue a short-lived couple. reason. "The battle blood of dragons and white lions is the product of hatred for heartless men!" So this famous saying was also left on the territory of the empire. Many half-elves raised by human mothers hate pure-blood elves. Of course, this is not an absolute rule, because there are many half-elves who have friendly relations with elves. But one thing is certain, people with the blood of dragon and white lion tend to fall into unreasonable mania when they are young, especially the original "dragon and white lion", that is, people with half elven blood. And now Hyde has witnessed this scene with his own eyes, because the half-elf girl named "An" is obviously immersed in her sadness and loss, and the billowing battle energy like a sea tide surges out from around her body. , causing the pages of the book to shake due to the impact of the candlelight. Hyde can feel that amazing power, which has surpassed Jessica's power! "An, I didn't tell you to leave me. Please don't lose your temper in front of our distinguished guests, okay?" Marshal Yang's slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a sad expression appeared on his cheeks. Hyde could feel the deep affection in the great marshal's eyes, which reflected the worry and love of a father for his daughter, but the girl in front of him seemed not to hear it at all. "Dear dad, please see my power! Please see if I can be your sword!" With that sad and childish voice, the short-haired girl waved her scaled gloves. left fist. Unexpectedly, she actually attacked Marshal Yang, which shocked Hyde and almost stood up. "The power of this blow is actually much stronger than that of the original Slaanesh Knight Tigre. No, it is even more powerful than Miss Jessica Is she kidding?" The thought of Carbide Fire flashed through her instantly. Entering Hyde's mind, An's blow carried an indescribable momentum. In fact, what this girl, who is wearing an exquisite black and white lace dress and who looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, said about "catching General Lu Jin's three moves" is definitely not a joke, because the furious fighting spirit and force have overwhelmed the entire The cabins, decks and bulkheads seemed to tremble in the turbulent tide. At this moment, Hyde felt as if he had suddenly returned to the battlefield, and he couldn't help but want to take action to stop it. "An, let go of all this and have a good sleep first, okay?" But Marshal Yang's reaction was much faster than that of Hyde. In the invisible light of the carbide fire, he had already caught An's attack. . The half-elf girl's monstrous fighting spirit was instantly neutralized, and Hyde didn't even feel the force emanating from the marshal. This black-haired marshal imitatesA pool of clear water with an unmeasurable depth, its hidden power made Hyde subconsciously feel mysterious. "Well" Somehow, the half-elf girl in a black and white lace dress suddenly fell over, lying softly in the arms of the black-haired marshal, with a trace of tears on her long eyelashes. She agreed meekly, and then fell asleep quietly, like a happy kitten nestled in the arms of her relatives. "Child An is sometimes too excited and makes your highness laugh. I'm really sorry." After carrying An to the bed and carefully covering her with a bearskin, Marshal Yang calmly took off his hat and apologized to Hyde. Everything has returned to normal, except for a few stacks of paper flying to the floor and a small statue leaning on the table. Other than that, everything is normal. The earth-shattering punch of the half-elf girl just now became like a dream. "Your Excellency, Marshal, there is nothing to be sorry for. This is the trouble I caused, and I am the one who should apologize." Hyde also hurriedly bowed to salute the black-haired marshal. The sudden incident just now made him a little confused. I don't know if I should leave. "My distinguished Highness, I am very grateful that you do not blame An for being rude. An is a hard-luck child. She lost the people who loved her twice, so she is relatively sensitive." The black-haired marshal said humbly. Hyde greeted, with a hint of sadness in his voice, and his fingers subconsciously clenched the tea cup. "But she has a great and loving father like you and a mother like Miss Greenhill. I believe she will be happy. To be honest, you are such a considerate father, which makes me feel envious." I don't know how to reply. As for the matter, Hyde couldn't help but express his feelings. Maybe he was moved by Yang Shuai's tenderness towards An. When the black-haired marshal carefully covered his adopted daughter with the bear skin and tucked her into the bed, Hyde suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness. It was an indescribable sadness. "I'm just an incompetent father. Thank you for your praise, your noble Highness Hyde." Marshal Yang turned around and looked at the sleeping girl on the camp bed, and his voice became very low. The red fire was still burning, but the air seemed to have become colder, as if the cold wind from the north was seeping into the small cabin. "You are not an unfit father. An unfit father is someone who puts his own flesh and blood into the mouths of wolves and wild beasts. An unfit father is someone who has never given his children love and warmth. An unfit father is someone who has caused The man whose child¡¯s loving mother dies in the forest is an unfit father!¡± Hyde suddenly stood up. At this moment, he had too much to say. He had endured it for too long, and he wanted to say so much! Just tell me all this heartache! The unforgettable scene in the black forest seemed to appear in front of him again, and tears gradually blurred his eyes. "Your Highness Hyde" The black-haired marshal looked at the excited knight in front of him, and his words suddenly stopped. Hyde saw that his hands were shaking slightly, as if he was experiencing a huge psychological conflict.
