Mystery: The Stars Returner

Deep in the castle, the expression on Bernadette's face softened, and she poured a cup of scented tea for Russell with her own hands. She stood on the side and said, "It was the stars that helped you get out of trouble, right?"

"The stars, His authority is amazing." Russell took a sip of scented tea and his mind gradually calmed down, "Have you really become a devout believer in the stars?"

"Yes." Bernadette nodded slightly, "This is not a bad thing. His brilliance has always protected me. This is why I can stand here today as the Queen of the Star Sea Kingdom."

Russell was a bit annoyed: "You seem to have a high opinion of Him?"

"He is a god worth my life, especially after He helped you get out of trouble."

Russell frowned slightly and said, "As far as I know, Qun Xing has another identity. Hastur, you should know about this, right?"

"My worldly status will not affect Qunxing's position in my heart, Hastur. I am considered a pretty good friend with him."

"Just a simple friend?" Russell glanced at his daughter secretly.

"It can also become a more intimate relationship, what do you think?" Bernadette asked deliberately.

"No, ordinary friends are fine. There is no need to become closer." Russell coughed lightly to hide his slightly guilty expression.

"What, are you afraid that your daughter will be abducted by Mr. Hastur?" Bernadette said expressionlessly: "After so many years of not seeing each other, your temper is still the same."

"Every man who is a father, especially if he has the most beautiful and lovely daughter in the world, will definitely strictly guard against any man who comes close to his daughter, no matter how good that man is or how outstanding his character is." Russell sighed.

"Oh, to put it this way, Mr. Hastur is indeed the most outstanding man I have ever met." Bernadette raised her eyebrows slightly.

"No, you must not have such thoughts, He is the stars, you just need to worship Him in your heart." Russell was a little panicked, fearing that he would accidentally backfire.

"You may have forgotten that I am no longer the young and innocent little girl I was back then."

"In the eyes of parents, children will always be children."

"Is there a secret between you and the stars that I don't know about?"

"No, I just think He is too mysterious and can only be viewed from a distance, not too close."

Bernadette looked deeply at Russell who spoke insincerely, "I suddenly felt that if I really want to have a life partner in this life, Mr. Hastur would be a good choice."

"Absolutely not!" Even though he knew that these words were meant to stimulate him, Russell was still anxious and almost jumped up, "You can call him uncle!"

"Uncle?" Bernadette pondered the title carefully. During the previous Chinese New Year, Hasta had given her a gift, saying that it could be regarded as a New Year's red envelope from the elders to the younger ones.

Now it seems that that action does have a profound meaning that I don't know.

"There is no blood relationship between me and him, so what does a title mean?" Bernadette stimulated again.

"..." Russell said with a dark face, "No way! I will never allow it!"

Bernadette wanted to make further insinuations, but Russell just kept a dark face and refused to reveal that he and Qunxing might come from the same place.

"The stars are watching everything. Do you think the conversation between our father and daughter just now has been heard by the stars?" Bernadette said, and specifically glanced at the sky.

Russell's mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted softly: "Even if the stars appear in front of me now, I dare to say that."

"is it?"

A ray of light fell, and Hastur suddenly appeared in front of Russell.

Originally, he was just staying in the Hall of Stars thinking about promotion to Sequence 2. When Bernadette and Russell talked about him, he naturally overheard the conversation between them.

Bernadette and Russell were both people he had specially marked recently, and their every move was naturally under his watch.

At first, he didn't want to interrupt the long-lost conversation between father and daughter, but who made their conversation get more and more off-topic. Especially when he saw Russell pretending to be pretentious again, he thought of coming down to scare him and let him He knows what it's like to pretend to fail.

Russell, the pioneer of time travel, basically pretended to be as cool as he could, leaving no room for latecomers like them.

If it were Klein today, Klein would definitely come down from the Source Castle and sit doing the same thing as him.

The time traveler has been suffering from Russell's poison for a long time.

Well, he noticed that Klein also came to the Rhoside Islands today, and it should be the guidance from Sefirah Castle.

Well, it's better to come early than to come late.

"Did you hear everything?"

Russell looked a little unnatural, but Bernadette was calm and generous, her eyes shining brightly as she watched the interaction between the two.

"The stars are watching everything." Hastur glanced at Russell lightly, "This is not an empty talk."

Russell said with a smile: "I was just telling some jokes, I couldn't take them seriously."

"Are those words just what you said to perfunctory me?" Bernadette said from the side.

"..." Russell felt a sour feeling in his heart at this moment. The little cabbage he raised had learned to turn his elbows outward!

"Ahem, you go down first. I have some things I want to talk to Qunxing alone." With a smile on his face, Russell motioned for Bernadette to go down first.

Bernadette glanced at Hastur and saw that Hastur did not agree with this approach, so she stood still.

Russell's heart became colder again. He couldn't really have raised the little cabbage he raised, right?

No, not even if the other party is a group of stars!

This is a matter of principle!

"Go down." Russell put away his usual playful expression and revealed the cold and majestic side of the Black Emperor. His voice naturally carried an irresistible force of intimidation.

When Bernadette was about to leave, Hastur said calmly: "It's very lively here today, and there's an interesting person coming too."

"Who?" Bernadette stopped walking.

"The one who goes with you to the land forsaken by God."

"It's him." Bernadette's eyes showed surprise, and she always felt that many things happened by chance today.

"..." Russell, who maintained the majesty of the Black Emperor and no one cared about him, frowned slightly and said, "Your friend?"

"The same can be said for a former partner and friend."

"Male?" Russell asked again.

Bernadette nodded, and Russell couldn't help but curse in his heart. Today was obviously a day for him and his baby daughter to reminisce about the past, but it wasn't enough that one of the stars came, and another one came, and he was a boy!

After a while, Cattleya, who finally found an excuse, came to report it in person. Seeing that Mr. Hastur was there, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Bernadette and said, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside. Seeing you, it’s Gehrman Sparrow.”

"Let him come in." Bernadette ordered: "In addition, let someone prepare some refreshments."

Cattleya took the order and left. Russell sat down on the seat, took another sip of scented tea to moisten his throat, looked at Hastur and Bernadette, hesitated to speak, and his face gradually darkened.

When Klein arrived here under the leadership of Cattleya, he was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

He did not expect that Mr. Hastur was here today. Although it was his first time to meet the man next to him, he had seen his portrait more than once. He was the former governor of the Republic of Intis!

The senior traverser who landed from Origin Castle earlier than him!

Russell's diary has helped him a lot along the way!

If it weren't for the diary left behind by Russell, he would definitely not have embarked on this path that suited Origin Castle.

Klein was shocked for a while, but felt relieved.

His sudden visit to Bernadette this time was not because of anything important, but because of a sudden whim, his spiritual intuition told him that going to the Rhoside Islands at this time would yield different rewards.

Now it seems that this is Source Castle guiding him to meet Russell.

After all, Russell had spent some time above the Light Gate of Source Castle before.

"Mr. Hastur, what a coincidence, you are here too." Klein first smiled at Hastur and then looked at Russell and asked Bernadette: "Who is this?"

"My father, the former Emperor Russell." Bernadette did not choose to hide it.

Her intuition told her that there seemed to be some kind of relationship between the three people standing in front of her, or that they shared some secret.

She deliberately stepped back two positions to give them the home court here.

"You are? How is it possible? How can you be standing here alive?" Klein was stunned at first, shocked and then surprised. He looked at Russell eagerly and couldn't help but trembled: "Are you really that? An Emperor Russell who is active in history books, leads technological leaps, has both talent and wisdom, and has romantic anecdotes with many noble ladies?"

At this moment, Klein put all his lifelong acting skills to use, and the effect was pretty good.

Russell's eyes wandered and he said, "You don't need to add the last adjective."
