God seal

Lord Sarandir, known as the living legend, is very dissatisfied at this time.

"I don't agree!" The elf raised his eyebrows, expressing his disapproval, "Knowing that there might be an assassin, why didn't you let me protect him with me?"

Beside him, the orc druid nodded repeatedly: "I also think this is not very good for Hani."

The mage looked at them both with a sneer.

"You stand beside him so brightly, who would dare to assassinate him? If those people don't show their feet, is it all in vain for us to arrange for so long?"

"That can't be a joke with his life!" Searle retorted.

"There is no gain without sacrifice."

"Your tone is the same as Ronnie. I almost forgot that you were also born in a human noble family." Searle sneered, "If this is the case, then you should unite with Ronnie during the day, why should you stand on our side? ?”

This sentence can be regarded as touching Ni Lin, and the mage's black eyes were filled with anger.

"Of course. If I were to choose a qualified heir to the family, I would definitely choose Ronnie Lisibetan instead of that cowardly Harney. But what can be done? Who made our great Lord Sarandeer be I want Haney."

"You...!" Searle was so angry that he was really angry.

"Okay, okay, you all calm down." The orc druid hastily melted a vine to separate the two guys, "Your Excellency Sarandir, what the mage said has some truth. There, as long as you stay by Hani's side, no one will assassinate him in front of you."

Bossian raised his eyebrows at the elf.You see, that's it.

"However, Your Excellency Bossian is too serious." The orc persuaded, "You obviously said what you said yesterday from the bottom of your heart, why are you saying these things to deliberately provoke His Excellency Sarandir now?"

One person and one elf were all quiet for a while, and they all looked at the Druid for a while.

"Then what's your opinion?"

"Who do you support?"

Facing the scorching gazes of the mage and the elf, the orc druid said calmly: "First of all, I have to admit that what you two said makes sense. We can neither disregard Hani's safety nor give up the plan."

Are druids peacemakers?Bossian couldn't help but slander, even an orc, once he became a druid, would he become such a mediocre character?It's just a curse.

Searle asked calmly, "So, do you have a third choice?"

"Yes." The orc druid smiled.Although the expression of laughing is not obvious on his furry face, the exposed fangs reveal his emotions.

"Since His Excellency Sarandir cannot be allowed to come forward, and someone must be responsible for Hani's safety, how about another person to protect Hani? Look, don't we still have a suitable candidate?" the orc said, turning his eyes to the black-robed mage .

"I?"

"he?"

The elf and mage looked at each other and said in unison: "Absolutely not!"

……

The Lisibertin family's mansion in Wangcheng was extremely quiet today.When Hani came back, he didn't see anyone except some guards on duty.

Does father know the news now?How is sister Roni's injury?Hani went back to the room with a heavy heart, and just wanted to ask someone to inquire about the news, but the old butler had already appeared in front of him.

"Master Harney. The Earl invites you to go to the study."

Hani seemed a little apprehensive.

"Is father angry?"

The old housekeeper looked at the child he had looked up to with loving kindness.

"You won honor for the family, why is the Earl angry? Please come with me, young master."

Hani was still a little uneasy, wondering if his previous experience in the arena was still affecting him.He always felt that the atmosphere in the mansion today was a bit weird.The unease came to a head when he went to his study to face his long-lost father.

"Father."

Count Lisibertin sat behind the large desk and raised his eyes upon hearing this.He is no longer young, but even though there are many wrinkles on his face, it can still be seen that this was a very handsome man.However, the two deep furrows between the eyebrows also hinted to outsiders that this man had an unkind temper.

"Haney." The count stood up, with an unprecedented gentle tone, "I should reward you, my son, you have won all unprecedented honors for this family."

"I..." Under the influence of his father's powerful aura, Hani's bad habit of shivering appeared again, "That's not..."

The count frowned slightly, obviously disliking Hani's character very much, but for some reason today he was extra patient and did not lose his temper with his son.

"I know, it's some coincidence and your own hard work that got you this honor."

Hani wanted to argue something, but was interrupted by the earl.

"But you should also understand, Haney, that you don't have the strength to take on this honor. This is even more of a burden to you, child."

"Then who do you think has the strength?" Hani seemed to understand something. He looked at his father, trying to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

"Of course it's Ronnie." The earl didn't notice what he said without thinking, which caused Hani's eyes to dim instantly.

"...what would you like me to do, father?"

The earl showed relief in his eyes, he thought it was Hani who was compromising to himself.He opened his mouth, without considering Hani's mood, and said, "I want you to explain to His Excellency Salanduel and tell him that you gave up being the master of the Knights and chose to give all the glory to your sister. As for who Inheriting the Knight Order, I think this is an internal matter of our Lisibertin family, and others will not interfere."

"Does Sister Roni know about this?" Hani asked in a low voice.

"Ronnie is recuperating, I don't know yet."

Yeah?Hani thought it was the same. With Ronnie's pride, she would never use this method after failure.Even if she wanted to eradicate herself in the illusion world, she declared war with the sword in hand.Hani felt that the difference between himself and Ronnie was only in belief.However, there is an insurmountable gap between him, his father, and this family.

"Don't worry, after you express this proposal to Your Excellency, I will still retain your status as the heir." The earl was still talking, but Hani didn't want to listen anymore.

"Please excuse my refusal, Father." The boy raised his head, and frankly looked at the ruler of the family with the same brown eyes as his mother, "Your Excellency Sarandier said that the heir recognized by the Knights is me, not The Lisibetin family. I will not pass on to anyone the expectations they have entrusted to me."

Hearing what his always cowardly son said, the earl couldn't believe it at first, and then became angry.

"You know what you're talking about, Hani. Everything you have is inseparable from the family, but you want to take this glory for yourself?"

"Everything I have comes from the Lisibetan family. If the family needs it, I am willing to dedicate my life to it. But the Rose Knights do not belong to me. I cannot serve you instead of the Rose Knights, nor can I treat them as items at will. Pass it on to someone else."

Hani resolutely said: "If you only wanted to talk about this when you came to me, then please forgive me and leave."

"Haney!" The count slammed the table hard, "I am your father, why are you talking to me like this?"

Father?Harney recalled that in the illusion world, the earl was furious because Lorena poisoned "Harney".But in reality, the father never mentioned anything about Hani's mother's death and Hani's congenital frailty.Presumably, Hani would only think of his father's identity when he was useful to the family and beneficial to the Earl.This is the value of the nobles, and they are used to it.

Hani bowed his head and stopped talking to the earl, only intending to leave.

"Stop..." The count suddenly lowered his voice, "Are you going to just leave like this?"

There was a faint sound of sword clashing outside the study.Even if you don't have to see it with your own eyes, you can imagine that the guards have surrounded it.The count looked at his son: "You still have time to make a decision."

Hani looked bitter.Is this the family that Roni wants to protect?Is this the Lisibetan whom Nanny Knight wants to protect even after giving up everything?For the sake of profit, father and son often fight against each other. This kind of family is no longer the family Nanni wanted to protect in the first place, but a monster that cannibalize other people's flesh and blood!

"I will give up my status as the heir of the Rose Knights."

Hearing what Hani said, the Earl breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect the boy's next words to be——

"I should tell Lord Sarandeer and the Rose Knights to completely abandon their commitment to the Lisibetan family, and stop choosing the heir of the Knights from Lisibetan." The boy scolded, "Because of this The family is no longer the glorious Lisibetain of more than 100 years ago, and it is no longer the Lisibetain belonging to Knight Nanni!"

"What are you talking about! Guards!" the count rubbed his chest angrily, "Give me this unfilial son—"

Hani's face was pale, but he puffed out his chest and was ready to face the consequences of his choice.

"It seems that I came in time." A joking voice came from the study room where there should be no one else, "If it's a little later, I'm afraid I can only bring a corpse back to the office."

"Who?!"

"You are--"

Hani and the Earl's exclamation sounded at the same time, and then with the faint magic light in the room, the black-robed mage walked out of the magic circle gracefully.He looked at Hani: "Will you come with me, kid? Or do you plan to stay here and dedicate your life to this corrupt family?"

The count shouted from the side: "The uninvited guest! Guards, take him down for me."

However, there was no movement outside the house. They seemed to be isolated in an independent space. Outsiders could not enter, and those inside could not leave.The count finally realized that this was not an ordinary uninvited guest, and sweat rolled down his cheeks.

"Maybe..." Bothian glanced at the noisy count, "I can do a little more and get rid of this guy for you."

"No!" Hani said anxiously.

"He wants to kill you," Berthian stated.

"But he's my father!" Harney said.

"Then he should be lucky." Bossian said, "If this was my father, he would have died in the wilderness long ago." The mage said, stretching out his hand to Hani impatiently, "Do you still want to die in this rotten place?" How long are you staying?"

Hani hesitantly stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Count Lisibertin, who was pale after being threatened by the mage, couldn't help shouting: "If you leave this house, Hani, you will no longer be a member of the Lisibertin family!"

"Did you hear that?" Bethian smiled at Hani, "He said so."

Hani finally made up his mind, and finally said to his father: "You gave me my life, and I am willing to give it back. But I will never give you anything else."

"Haney!" The count shouted the name angrily, until the two figures disappeared into the magic circle, his angry shout still tormented the young man's heart.

There is no way out.

Going against his father's expectations, he abandoned his family name and turned against his sister.From now on, after removing the surname I was born with, what is left of me?With a heavy heart, Hani unconsciously followed the mage out of the teleportation circle, but didn't want to hear a few calls.

"Haney!"

"Haney."

"Hi, Honey."

Reid looked excited: "I've heard about what you've done! As expected of my servant, you should be rewarded for making such a big fuss over me!"

Beside, Archie couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him.

"Reid!" Hani was a little happy to see the red dragon boy, "You have been released."

Red blew his beard and stared: "When have I been locked up? Who can lock me up? I'm just going to—"

"Don't pay attention to him." Archie interrupted Reid and said to Hani, "If I tell Salanduil to lock him up for a few more days, our ears will be clean."

"What did you say?!"

Seeing that Reid and Archie were quarreling again, Eddie ignored them habitually, and pointed out the way for Hani: "Haney, you stay with us first, and I will take you to the room to have a look."

Hearing them call their names over and over again.

Haney finally understood.

I'm not Lisibetin anymore, but I'm still Harney.

I am myself.

Just like more than 100 years ago, the lonely elves were expelled from the western sea of ​​trees.

[You are no longer the Crown Prince of the Western Elves, Syl. 】

[But you are still yourself. 】

Time flies, but the cycle is endless.
