caged robin

"...It's simply unreasonable!" A roar echoed in the audience hall of the Silver Pagoda.

The lords present all lowered their heads, and at the same time put on a half-hearted smile. They finally made the king angry with the Apocassery family.

Kneeling in the audience hall were two boys of about the same age, one was Abner and the other was Sean.

The king glanced at Abner Apocasseri. Although this troublesome little thing was still kneeling, his haughty face clearly said that he was right.The king was trembling with anger, but because of Wang Fu's affection, he could only let out a "hum" from the tip of his nose.

He glanced at Wang Fu who was standing aside, and said coldly, "Kute! Take care of your precious son!"

Wang Fu's face was quite calm, and he said peacefully, "I obey, Your Majesty."

The king glanced at the other lords in the meeting hall, and then let out another "hum", and shouted at Sean who was kneeling beside Abner: "Sean! Stand up for me! Come with me!"

Sean was still stubborn and refused to get up. Abner poked him and whispered, "Are you stupid? Go! Go!"

Sean glared at Abner, stood up, and followed the king out of the audience hall.

The king took Sean to his study room, slammed the door shut, threw a thick book on the table, and said angrily, "You're bold now, don't you?! That’s all for the performance, how dare you take the lead in applauding?! What did you brazenly say in the hall just now? Let the robin perform at the Holy Dragon Festival?! Damn it! Am I being too nice to you recently? How dare you say such a thing?! How could Duolun Palace let these dirty people in?!"

Xiao En was not frightened, his eyes were full of anger, and he said in a cold voice: "What's wrong with the robin? Isn't that from the "Red Dragon Bible"? Could it be that the robin in the palace is better than the robin in the circus?" Is the robin noble? Didn’t Master Wang Fu just marry the robin?!”

"You!" The king was speechless after being refuted, and then he said slowly, "Do you think they must be happy together? How do you feel about the days when you were criticized? You are not allowed to be so close to Abner in the future, then The boy has no human appearance all day long, and I don't allow you to become a jerk like him!"

"That's your prejudice!" Sean said loudly.

"Prejudice? Are you saying I'm blind? That bastard skips class every day and stays out at night. I can figure out what he's doing with my toes!"

"He..." Although Sean knew that Abner was not going to do what they thought, he actually didn't know why Abner did it.

"Hmph," the king slammed the table and said to himself, "this time, those vines are making up stories."

Whenever the king speaks of vines, he means those gossiping lords.

Sean said: "Father, don't you think it's strange? Abner has performed so many times, but only in the last show with the most people did he have an accident."

The king glared at him and said, "Do you really think I'm an idiot? Even if someone is doing it secretly, Abner deserves it! Such a clever boy insists on turning himself into an idiot, and they can't find it to attack Kurt." Naturally, he turned his attention to his unworthy son! To put it bluntly, he is Kurt's weakness!"

"Father!" Xiao En interrupted the king, "Whether I think it is a weakness or not is up to Mr. Wang Fu!"

The king looked at Xiao En in shock, trembling with anger, "My lords, you really rebelled! Last time you dug up your uncle's coffin, this time it was a straw bag! What will you think next time! "

"Father, is there something wrong with what you said?" Sean glanced at the king and said lightly, "Yeah, you never regarded me as your son anyway, what am I? 'Little man-eating devil'?" Harm Nadisha lost her life's counselor'? Well, well, call it what you want, if you are not satisfied... I don't have to be this ridiculous 'Your Highness', I don't care, really!"

Sean's voice was trembling, but he insisted on finishing speaking, and when he left the study, he heard the king's call: "Sean! Sean! Listen to father..."

"Bang—" The door was slammed shut.

"Father... always thinks you are his pride." The king whispered to the door, he sat heavily on the chair with his back bent, very much like the old king.

Trembling, he opened the drawer, took out an exquisite wooden box, and opened the lid. Inside were robin whistles of various colors and styles, as well as some handmade fabrics, all for children to play with.

He paused, took out a small rabbit puppet from his pocket, put it into the box, then stood up, holding the box, with a smile on his face, and murmured: "Sean, father brought you some small puppets. thing……"

He kept his mouth shut, put down the box, picked it up again, and put on a smile again, "My precious son, father came to see you..."

Before he finished speaking, he put down the box, patted his face, picked up the box again, and put on a smile, "Sean, although you have grown up, your father owes you a childhood, this is..."

"Snap." He put down the box, slumped on the chair again, looked at the box that could never be delivered, and let out a long sigh.

"Rota, you coward, you don't deserve to be a father!" He slapped himself.

"Father, I was wrong." Abner looked at his mother's grave in front of him, raised his head all the way, and finally lowered it.

"What's wrong?" Wang Fu said sharply.

"I... I shouldn't be a mocking bird..."

"What?" Wang Fu's voice became more severe.

Abner: "..."

What is that, kings, it really kills, Abner muttered.

Wang Fu turned around and faced Abner. Abner felt that a shadow was about to be suppressed, but Wang Fu's voice was unusually soft, "Ai Wen."

Abner trembled at the gentleness of this voice.

Wang Fu frowned, "What's your reaction? Have I abused you?"

Abner shook his head desperately.

Wang Fu sighed and said, "Ai Wen, my darling, listen to what my father said..."

Wang Fu put his hands on Abner's shoulders, and Abner raised his head to look at his father. Wang Fu's eyebrows that had been furrowed flattened, and Abner secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ai Wen, I never think there is anything wrong with being a robin. At least it shows that my son is versatile. What makes me angry is that you are hiding from me to become a robin. Don't you trust your father? Are you afraid that I won't let you go?" , or break your leg?"

Abner scratched his head, "Father, can you stop mentioning 'break a leg' all the time, every time you mention it, my calf will cramp."

Wang Fu: "..."

Then with a chuckle, Wang Fu pinched Abner's cheek, and said with a smile, "It's the same as your mother, with a sharp tongue."

Abner was taken aback, looked at his mother's grave, and said, "My mother...isn't she gentle and gentle?"

"Haha, who told you?" Wang Fu asked.

Abner: "..." Is it bad to laugh at your mother's grave?

Abner replied, "It's the old man from the circus. He said it was my grandfather, and that my mother was a beautiful and gentle girl."

Wang Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that father? To be precise, he was half right. Your mother is beautiful, but she is not gentle. The last time I went to him to propose a marriage, your mother had just finished texting him Huo, he squatted at the entrance of the circus with a black cat in his arms."

Abner: "..."

Abner hesitated. Seeing that his father was in a good mood, he wanted to ask the question that had been lingering in his mind. He took a deep breath and asked, "Father, do you love your mother?"

Wang Fu was taken aback, "Is this a question?"

"Then why did you marry Rhea? The king obviously never married again." Abner asked seriously.

Wang Fu looked at Abner quietly, and said, "My darling, you have been wronged."

Abner interrupted Wang Fu, "I didn't, father, I just want to know why, you obviously love my mother..."

"Ai Wen," Wang Fu patted Abner on the shoulder and continued, "Because your mother and I respect each other."

"respect?"

"Yes, Ewin. Do you know why your mother didn't live at the Apocatheri's house after she got married?"

Abner paused, and his father seemed to be answering the question that had troubled him for a long time.

Wang Fu walked slowly, and said slowly: "Ai Wen, our Apocasseri family was born as a commoner, and our ancestor Jane Apocasseri was a shepherd. When he joined the army, he had nothing but the A whip for driving sheep. Our family emblem is a sheep, which not only represents our origin, but also represents that we have never been prejudiced against anyone. Therefore, my marriage with your mother was not obstructed by the family, but your mother is a A person with a strong personality, she prefers to dance in the circus and live in the wild, you don't know, she only lived in the manor for one night after marriage, and that night really coaxed me to death."

Abner: "..."

Wang Fu suddenly thought of something, smiled mysteriously at Abner, and said, "We are married with a son."

Abner: "..." If this spreads to the circle of nobles, the high-definition image of Mr. Wang Fu may not be preserved.

"However, the Apocasselli family's success today is not due to kindness and compassion." Wang Fu's expression suddenly became serious, and his hands on Abner's shoulders tightened instantly. "It's power, Ai Wen." !"

"Only by holding this firmly in the palm of your hand can you be worthy of having others!" Wang Fu's blue eyes were piercing, completely different from the majestic and restrained ones in the audience hall. At this time, Wang Fu showed his sharpness.

Abner swallowed and looked at his father.

"Maybe I shouldn't have been with your mother, after all, our choices were different, but your mother said to me that day, 'Kurt, let's be together, you see the white shadow of the moon when the sun is not fully set It has already appeared, the sun and the moon can still rise together, why can't we?' So we have you. Ai Wen, your mother was buried with my love, and only you and power are left in front of my eyes, list You should know what the Ke family means to us. I know you have been wronged a lot, but you can forgive your father, can't you?"

Abner looked at his father quietly, and smiled.

Wang Fu smiled gratifiedly, hugged Abner, and said softly: "Abner, you are almost an adult, you should choose some paths, and your father will not force you. You chose to follow your mother's path. , or my way?"

Abner stood stiffly, and said slowly, "Father, I want to go my own way."

The white flame burns alone.

Memphis tore off a duck leg, took a big bite, looked at the two people who had been lingering for a long time, and said vaguely, "It's about the same? Can we go?"

Abner glanced at Memphis, "Wait a little longer, Priest Meimei, you can continue eating duck legs."

Memphis sighed, stuffed the meat from his legs into his mouth in two or three bites, threw the bones behind his head, poked the red dragon on the stick with his oily hand, and said to himself: "Why are you single so far? I want to be tortured like this..."

Chilong trembled a bit, and spewed out a small flame.

Memphis elbowed Herbert beside him and said, "Hey buddy, do you have a date?"

Herbert thought for a while, scratched his head, and said, "No, but I don't think I will either."

"Hmm." Memphis tore off another chicken leg and looked Herbert up and down, "Why is the young man so pessimistic?"

Herbert lowered his head and whispered, "Because... I owe someone a leg..."

Memphis raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Herbert didn't seem to continue talking, he continued to gnaw on his duck leg.

Abner was stuffing plums into Oreas's pocket, and said, "Write to me when you get there... Oh no, letterbirds can't get there, huh...then take a good rest first, have a good rest." If possible, find a way to come to see me... When I go to you, you will be finished."

Oreas chuckled, brushed Abner's neck lightly, took out the pendant in the shape of a milk ball, and said, "This is in your hand, don't worry."

Abner kept his mouth shut, "The devil knows what this is? Maybe you have given it to many people."

Oreas' face sank, hooked the pendant, and gently pulled Abner's neck over, he leaned over and said in a deep voice, "There is only one."

Looking at the face so close, Abner felt almost out of breath.

Finally, Oreas chuckled, rubbed his head, and said, "Wait for me."

Abner pushed his hand away in a panic, and pushed him towards the flames, "Okay, okay, let's go."

Memphis immediately grabbed the cane and stretched it towards the purple flame. When he retracted the cane, a large black hole appeared in the center of the flame.Aureas took back the bone of the Son of God, and the flames were slowly fading. Herbert left first after saying goodbye, and Aureas stepped in afterward.

The figure of Oreas was slowly swallowed by the flames, and finally there was nothing left.

Abner stared blankly at the traceless sky, suddenly he felt a sense of oppression coming from behind, he turned around, and saw Mephis was chewing the duck leg, looking at the pendant with a smile.

Abner subconsciously covered his neck and asked, "Priest Meimei, what's the matter?"

Memphis smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just saw something interesting."

Then Memphis turned back to eat the rest of the duck.

Next, Oreas will have to disappear for a while, and Abner needs to grow himself during this time~
