HP: Embrace the Darkness

"It's fine if grandma makes the decision. I trust grandma's vision."

Aces' words made Iris laugh, his eyes filled with smiles and affection.

"You kid, your words are sweeter than Anna's."

"I'm telling the truth. By the way, grandma, where are my parents, grandparents and grandpa?"

Iris' smile faded a little, and she touched Asseth's head gently.

"Your grandfather and grandfather are used to being tit-for-tat. We were afraid that they would cause trouble here, so we sent them back. In the future, except for banquets, they can only take turns to see you.

Your parents should still be persuading them now. As for your grandma, she is preparing for the banquet in a few days in the study.

Alas, it's a bit difficult to get them to live together in the same room...but don't worry, we're here. "

Iris saw Kane's figure and stopped talking.

"Let's eat first. Don't worry about the two of them. If it doesn't work out, it's okay for me and Laila to tie one up each."

The tough words somewhat subverted Iris's gentle image, so she didn't say any more.

After dinner, Iris asked someone to clear the table and took Ass to visit the castle.

After being introduced along the way, Asseth gained a little understanding of Iris's rich knowledge.

From the history of various countries to the meaning of a small item, Iris has it all at his fingertips.

"Grandma is very knowledgeable. It seems that I will continue to learn."

At this time, Asseth and Iris were standing on the observation deck, looking at the scenery in the distance.

The green of the mountains made Aces feel a little dazed.

"You will naturally understand these things if you live for a long time, so you don't have to worry."

The mountain wind in the evening was biting and cold, even if a warming spell was blowing on people, it would be uncomfortable.

"I'm not in a hurry, I just feel that my grandmother is so good that I can't be any worse."

Asseth answered while shielding Iris from the incoming mountain wind without leaving a trace.

Iris looked at Asseth's actions with a smile on her face. She really liked her grandson more and more.

"Do you like green? The trees here stay green all year round."

Asseth gave a sincere smile and said, "I like it very much. Grandma took the trouble."

"Do you like green or the forest? I heard that the Slytherins at Hogwarts are green. I remember you are also a Slytherin?"

"I like them all. I am a Slytherin, and the representative color of Slytherin is green, but I like green not because of Slytherin, and I have graduated."

Iris looked at Asseth kindly.

"Growing up, it's time to graduate. I heard from Anna that you have someone you like in Slytherin?"

Arthur's expression softened, "Yes, he is in Slytherin, and he is the head of Slytherin."

The current expression of Asseth is very familiar to Iris. She thought of Herman the same way when she was young.

"As long as you like it. With the example of your parents, no one will stop you, so don't worry."

Iris patted the back of Asseth's hand gently.

"If you catch him, treat him well and bring him back to see us when you have time."

Asseth thought of the banquet a few days later and winked at Iris mischievously.

"If Merlin is willing to bless me, I may see him at the banquet in a few days."

Iris suddenly realized.

"You sent the design drawing for Anna to customize, and then sent the dress out to that child?"

"I can't think of anyone else who could match that dress."

This sentence made Iris, a man who has been married for so many years, feel heartbroken.

She smiled and pointed at Asseth with her finger.

"Your mouth can really talk. I don't think he can resist you, right?"

The sky darkened quietly while the two chatted, and the castle suddenly lit up with lights.

The light reflected in Asseth's eyes, shining brightly.

"It's me, I can't resist him."

The smile on Iris's face grew stronger, and her eyes, which were similar to Asseth's, were full of tenderness.

"You cough cough cough -"

Iris was about to say something when he suddenly bent over and coughed loudly, his warm eyes stained with physiological tears.

The coughing became louder and louder, and Iris's body shook slightly due to the coughing.

Asseth quickly supported Iris and stroked her back, "Grandma, you..."

Artes didn't dare to ask the following words for some reason. He still remembered that Anna and the Duke came back because his grandmother was critically ill.

After spending just a few hours together, he liked this grandmother very much. She was well-educated and gentle and kind.

"Don't worry about the kids, people die."

Iris calmed her breathing and leaned against Asseth to comfort him.

"Death is not a terrible thing. I am more worried about your grandfather and mother than death.

My death is destined to bring harm to them, Anna, William, and Herman..."

Aces' breathing was stagnant, and the hand holding Iris couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Iris noticed something was wrong with him and called softly: "Aces?"

"Child, can you tell me what you are thinking? You look like you are in pain."

A warm hand touches your cheek.

Aces lowered his head to facilitate Iris' touch, "Grandma, can you let me try?"

Iris's hand paused and his eyes were complicated:

"My child, life and death are not so easy to change. Even if you change it reluctantly, the risk that the changer has to bear will be great, and the result may not be good."

"I know you're not afraid, but I don't want you to take this risk, and neither do they."

Iris's calm voice gradually soothed Ass's sadness.

"Aces, although I'm not feeling well, I can still hold on for a few years. At least I can hold on until your wedding day."

After a long silence, Asseth chuckled and said, "Grandma, this is not like a consolation."

"You are a smart kid and don't need my comfort. I'm just stating the facts."

Iris relied on Asseth's strength to stand firm.

"It's windy at night, let's go back."

"it is good."

"I'll tell you about my family while we're walking."

"it is good."

"..."

The sound gradually weakened, and the night swallowed up the last bit of light, and also swallowed up the figures of the old and the young.

In the next few days, Asses was not very comfortable because he encountered a very difficult thing.

Adrian and Herman were at odds with each other and couldn't get along at all.

Plus, it’s another turn to come to the castle.

As a result, Asses was unfortunately brainwashed by the two of them.

The content of the brainwashing is nothing more than all kinds of bad things about the other party, from clothes to behavior, and then from behavior to clothes, endlessly.

Even the dark history of his childhood was revealed, just to step on Ass in front of him.

At first, Anna and the Duke reached out to give Aces a hand because of their blood relationship.

Then I just let it go.

Euphemistically called: practice how to face rumors.
