After becoming a villain, I was forced to save the villain

Chapter 541
Karloff is 70 years old.

He felt that he had lived long enough, that he closed his eyes every night and was ready to die at any time, but every morning when it was time for morning exercise, he would wake up on time again.

As the most glorious retired veteran of the empire, the young king gave him many honorary titles, and at the same time bestowed him with countless wealth to support his life.

Karlov is not in the habit of extravagance, but he will take whatever the king sends him.

Everyone in the family knows that the general likes gorgeous and expensive gems. He hangs his medals neatly on one wall, and every medal is inlaid with a dazzling gemstone. On the wall are all the treasures he collected from all over the world.

He doesn't sell it, and he doesn't use it, because he doesn't have a woman around him. He hides these treasures in his room and doesn't let anyone touch them.

Karlov spends a lot of time every day polishing each gemstone, and then talking to the gemstones.

Everyone in his family knows that he has a woman in his heart. Because of her, he has never married, and because of her, he has become this plain and kind appearance. Now he is almost 70 years old, and every night he will sit by the window, straighten his back, Quietly looking at the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside the window.

Karloff, 75, finally collapsed.

The wounds he suffered when he was young have now become guillotines hanging over his head, which may fall off at any time. The doctor said that he will be tortured to death by the pain.

The king came to see him in person and even chatted with him while sitting by the bed.

The eyes of the old general in front of him are full of tranquility, like an ancient book hidden in the library for hundreds of years, once it is opened, it is full of simplicity.

The king asked him what regrets he had in this life.

The old general lowered his eyes, breathed weakly, and held a medal in his old hand, with a dazzling and huge green gem embedded in it.

he murmured.

"What regrets can I have after living for so long? I am content."

"Then why do you keep looking at the opposite wall?"

On the wall is a painting covered by white paper.

You can vaguely see the color of the ink inside.

The old general shook his head.

"Nostalgia is not regret, it is my blessing to meet you."

"I brought her to see you?"

The old man shook his head again.

"Don't disturb her."

It is already his blessing to have a lifetime in his dream.

Karloff never expected that his old self could have such a beautiful her again in reality.

Young people should match young people.

Besides, that man has countless of her favorite gems.

"If there is a next life."

He raised his eyes and quietly looked at the sunset in front of him.

"If there is really a next life, I hope it will get better and meet her sooner."

Their encounter was not good.

If people could really have an afterlife, he would definitely find her before that man.

The old man smiled.

It seems to be satisfied.

"Hey……"

After a shallow sigh, his hand slowly dropped, and the medal in his palm also fell to the ground.

Obviously no regrets.

But in that sigh, it was full of reluctance and nostalgia.

Isn't it a pity to miss?

The young king thought for a while, picked up the medal and asked the old general's family.

"Do you know who he misses?"

The family shook their heads.

"He will send things to one place every August. Counting the days, it's time to send out the last gift he prepared."

In a secluded manor thousands of miles away, a package was quietly delivered to the table. There was nothing written on the pure white box. When I opened it, there was a purple gem inlaid in the palm-sized box. medal.
