Hollow Knight: Hallownest

After some explanation.

"Alas, it has faded, the feelings have faded."

"You didn't even tell your brother about such a big thing. It seems that you don't care about me as your big brother anymore. If that's the case, I'm redundant..."

Mo Rong covered his face and shook his head, pretending to be sad, then turned around and walked towards the palace.

The situation is not right, run away first.

"Brother, do you think this is appropriate?"

A resentful voice came faintly from behind, accompanied by a few gentle and delicate words of concern.

"Ida, go sit over there and take a rest. I'll get you some medicine."

"No, I'm fine..."

This is such an ugly misunderstanding.

Mo Rong slowly turned around and looked at Ida, who was a little embarrassed after being beaten unreasonably by him. His expression changed instantly. He walked up to him with a big laugh, gesturing with his hands up and down, constantly praising him.

"Tsk, look at you, you are so lucky to meet a woman as gentle and kind as my sister-in-law. I am really envious of her. I have been running around in the Holy Nest for a long time and have seen many insects, but I have never met anyone who can compare to your sister-in-law."

"What a blessing! What a blessing indeed!"

Rivik didn't respond to the compliments at all, and his expression towards Mo Rong was still full of hostility. When Mo Rong approached, he pulled Ida behind him and spread his arms to protect him in front.

Just like a lioness protecting her cubs.

Mo Rong was slightly stunned, his eyes showed a little relief, and then he lowered his head: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't understand the situation clearly before I attacked Yida. I apologize to you here."

Ida glanced at Revik beside him, then looked at Mo Rong who had stood up, pointing a finger at himself with a strange look on his face.

No, what about me?

"Okay, okay, I'm fine. He's my big brother. There's no need to be so nervous."

Ida looked at the slender arm across his chest, smiled and gently pressed it down.

It was worth the beating!

Seeing that he was about to approach Mo Rong again, Riwek immediately stopped him, frowned, and said loudly, "How can a big brother be so cruel to his little brother? Don't go!"

Hearing this, Yida raised her hand helplessly, gave Mo Rong a look, and smiled happily and proudly.

There’s nothing I can do. You can do whatever you want.

Mo Rong laughed and told everything that happened in the elevator before, but he didn't reveal anything about Bumblebee, only saying that it was a child.

"That's right. I came here to enforce the family rules, but who knew it would turn out to be such a misunderstanding."

"Then you have to ask first..."

"But this is also your fault, Ida."

Ida's voice paused, and the words he wanted to say were choked in his throat. He raised his hand and pointed at himself with an expression of disbelief.

No, blame me?

"Alas, you didn't even tell me that you had a younger sister-in-law. I now doubt whether you have forgotten me, your big brother."

"I think this is an excuse you made up to get away with it."

"Ahem, well... aren't you going to introduce your sister-in-law to me? I don't even know her."

Mo Rong changed the subject and looked curiously at the woman next to Ida, but the latter still looked alert and refused to move forward.

"I'd better introduce you first, otherwise it might be difficult to talk."

Misunderstandings come and go quickly.

When Rivik heard Ida say that this was the elder brother he had often mentioned before, his eyes were surprised.

Growing up in the Chamber of Commerce, she was no stranger to the scene of insects without much affection calling each other brothers. This led her to believe that the "big brother" mentioned by Ida was just a polite name.

"He's the big brother you mentioned before, the...captain of the competition?"

"uh-huh."

Yida nodded proudly, walked forward and hugged Mo Rong, gesturing between them with her hand.

"Let me tell you, even if you put my brother in the main city... No, even if you put him here, there aren't many guards who can be his match."

Rivik looked suspiciously at Mo Rong, who was a head shorter than Ida, and was obviously a little unconvinced, but then he thought of the scene just now and nodded slowly.

"Let me tell you, there is a soul research institute in the main city. Do you know that?"

Mo Rong quickly covered Ida's mouth and glared at him suggestively.

We haven't even started drinking yet, and it's already time to speak the truth?

"Keep your mouth shut!"

Hearing the whispered scolding in his ear, Ida quickly shut up. Seeing the guards standing nearby, he realized belatedly that he had almost let something slip.

"Ahem! In short, that's it. Brother Mo is not a bad guy. It was all a misunderstanding before. Let's just break it up."

After Ida spoke, the guards left one by one and continued their patrol.

"So he is the champion the captain mentioned. His strength is truly terrifying."

"Then what else? I can just take down the captain with one move. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, if I had this ability, I might be able to become a commander."

"You are so beautiful..."

"What are you chirping about? Why don't you go on patrol?!"

"understand!"

......

Rivik sat next to Ida. Although his eyes were on them, he didn't listen to the conversation at all. He kept thinking about the half sentence that Ida hadn't finished saying.

The main city should refer to the City of Tears, and as for the research institute...

The Soul Sanctuary?

Unlike ordinary merchants, the Chamber of Commerce can frequently come into contact with the aristocratic class due to its size, and naturally can obtain many news and taboos that ordinary insects have no channels to know.

For example, the Soul Master, the leader of the Soul Sanctuary, has been secretly conducting horrific soul experiments in the Soul Sanctuary he presides over. The purpose is the absurd pursuit of immortality. What's more outrageous is that there are quite a lot of nobles who support him privately. This is really too dark, which caused her to be unable to recover for a long time when she heard it from her brother.

I didn't even dare to set foot on the street that passed by the Soul Sanctuary.

It’s not that she didn’t think about reporting the matter to the Watcher, but it was also during that time that she was slapped by her brother for the first time.

To this day, she still can't forget the look of relief on her brother's face when he stopped her halfway.

It was also during that time that she became extremely disappointed with the City of Tears and left there to relax elsewhere.

When she returned, everything had changed.

Although the news of the invasion of the Soul Sanctuary was blocked, many residents witnessed the changes on the top of the tower that day. The deafening sound and the muffled sound of the stone walls collapsing became the topic of conversation after dinner during that period.

A bug said that a dark shadow broke into the Soul Sanctuary.

Some say that it was a ghost who killed the Soul Master.

Some people say that it was a vengeful spirit that destroyed the soul experiment.

Revik turned his head and slowly moved his eyes upwards.

She saw the cloak, as gray and black as night.

She thought of the mysterious bone nail.

She met those dark eyes.

Could it be him?
