The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

Some people say that men are teenagers until they die. That's because in the minds of most men, even as they grow older, they still retain those childhood dreams of secondary school.Knowing that it can't be realized, but still can't let go, maybe this is the so-called life.

Of course, Manna also had dreams. When he was still very young, he had fantasized more than once that one day he would become the hero of the entire Casimir.But as the age grew and some accidents happened, Manna's dream gradually became to let the two sisters, Margaret and Maria, live a happy life.

There is no need to bear any difficulties and sufferings, nor any pressure of life.

It’s just that the ideal is very full, but the reality is often skinny. After the major change in Linguang’s family, the two sisters, Margaret and Maria, had to bear the pressure from family and life early on. up.

"Any cigarettes?"

Manna looked at Charlotte's face.

"Can I have one?"

"Of course it is possible."

Charlotte nodded lightly, then took out her cigarette and lighter from her pocket, and handed it to Manna.

He originally thought that Manna, like himself, was also a smoker who was very used to smoking, but the fact was that Manna was not only not a smoker, he even described it as not knowing how to smoke at all. Pass.

I don't know how to inhale when I light a cigarette, and the movement of holding the cigarette with my fingers is quite unfamiliar. The most outrageous thing is that just after taking a puff of smoke, Manna started to cough violently. This is obviously the appearance of smoking for the first time .

"I've seen my father and elder brother smoke before. They seem to be enjoying themselves. Why do I feel so uncomfortable?"

Manna was talking to himself, and while talking, he moved his gaze to the door of Maria's room.

"In this way, there is still a distance between my father and my elder brother. It is really a little far away."

Just at this time, the moonlight that had just appeared fell on Manna's body, causing the body of this middle-aged Kuranta man to draw a faint shadow on the ground.

The shadow was neither long nor big, making Charlotte, a bystander, feel thin.But it was such a thin shadow, even if it was blown by the cold north wind, it didn't shake at all.

The shadow was very straight, and Manna himself stood very straight. He just stood there quietly in the cold wind, as if he was thinking about a crucial issue. Cigarettes, also burned only the cigarette butts.

The skin transmitted the sudden burning sensation to the neurons deep in the brain, and the painful feeling made Manna have to recall something from his contemplation.

Hastily spit out the cigarette with only butts on the floor, and when Manna turned his attention back to Charlotte, he saw that she was standing where she was, maintaining a faint smile.

"What's so funny about that."

Manna pouted.

"Haven't you seen other people wander off?"

"Uncle Manna, is this your first time smoking a cigarette?"

Charlotte asked with a smile.

"Well, it's the first time."

Manna did not intend to deny it.

"I just didn't expect that smoking would be such an uncomfortable thing."

"For someone who smokes for the first time, it may indeed be an uncomfortable thing, but Uncle Manna, do you really feel uncomfortable just because of smoking?"

Charlotte pointed.

"It's a bit uncomfortable. I'm afraid it's not caused by cigarettes."

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from your eyes."

Manna sat down on the sofa in front of Charlotte.

"Would you like to hear my story?"

"Of course I would."

Charlotte also sat down on the sofa.

"Actually, the story is very simple. It's nothing more than something I promised my father and brother."

When people are old, they always like to recall the past, but Manna feels that he is not that old, but he really has no way to forget some things that happened in the past and some words that he said.

"I promised my elder brother to take good care of the two children, Margaret and Maria, but I have never done this."

"So...remorse?"

Charlotte asked a tentative question.

"Self-blame? A little bit."

Manna let out a breath of white air.

"After all, as the guardian of the two of them, I am indeed somewhat dereliction of duty."

"When Margaret received the title of 'Knight of Glory', I was actually really happy, because it means that the glory of the Linguang family is likely to be revived in her hands."

"Isn't revival a good thing? Why feel guilty?"

Charlotte asked.

"It's kind of beyond my comprehension."

"Revival is a good thing, but at that time, I almost regarded Margaret as a tool to revive Linguang's family."

When he said this, Manna covered his face with his hands, and the emotion of self-blame and guilt was unreservedly overflowing in his tone and expression.

"When Margaret was deprived of the title of 'Knight of Glory' by the Grand Duke, my whole body was filled with anger. I kept questioning why Margaret gave up what was supposed to belong to Linguang. The honor of the family, why give up this rare opportunity to revitalize the Linguang family."

"I didn't investigate the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and I didn't ask Margaret how she felt. This is probably the reason why Margaret chose to run away from home and come to you."

It turned out that the reason why Lai Guang appeared by his side, besides the order of the old man, was there another reason?

"Then should I thank you, Uncle Manna?"

Charlotte's expression was a little dumbfounding.

"It is because of you that Margaret came to my side."

"Thanks are exempt, this should be regarded as a matter of fate."

Manna sighed.

"Actually, when Maria just decided to participate in the Cage Gladiator Competition, I was also very angry."

"Is it because you are worried about Maria's safety?"

"Do not."

Manna shook her head.

"It's because I feel that clown-like competitions like the Cage Gladiator Competition will affect the reputation of the Linguang family."

"Is reputation more important than what Maria herself thinks?"

"So, after I figured this out, I started to regret and blame myself."

Then Manna's face was full of helplessness and annoyance.

"I finally recalled that what I promised my father and elder brother was to take good care of Margaret and Maria, not to revive the glory of the Linguang family."

Manna's words paused here.

"I regret that I didn't give Margaret the necessary comfort when she was in the lowest mood, and I also regret why I always treat Maria as a child."

"The past is all over, so it doesn't make much sense to regret it again, does it?"

Charlotte said with a smile.

"And now, Uncle Manna, don't you still have a chance to make up for all this?"

"Yes, I know that."

After exhaling heavily, Manna's expression finally returned to its normal state.

"So I'm not going to stop Maria from doing something that she wants to do."

"It's like I'm going to support Margaret and do what she wants to do."

While saying this, Manna kept staring into Charlotte's eyes.

"Mr. Charlotte, I think you should understand what I want to express."

"I can understand."

Charlotte nodded.

"So, Uncle Manna, have you already made up your mind?"

"I believe Margaret's vision will never be a problem..."

Manna took a deep breath.

"What's more, for a long period of time in the future, apart from you, Mr. Charlotte, I can't find a more suitable candidate to restore the Linguang family to its former glory."

After saying this, Manna stood up straight from the sofa.

Although Charlotte had thought about what Manna would do next, he had no idea that Manna's actions would be so straightforward.Without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, Manna knelt down on one knee directly in front of Charlotte.

"The contemporary family of the Linguang family, Manna Linguang swears here—"

Manna's solemn and steady voice reached Charlotte's ears.

"From now on, the Linguang family will pursue Charlotte's side, regard Charlotte as the ruler, and dedicate all their strength to Charlotte!"

Then, Manna stretched out his right hand, and handed the back of his hand to Charlotte's eyes.

According to Casimir's traditional practice, if Charlotte himself is willing to accept the oath of allegiance from the Linguang family, then he will lightly kiss the back of Manna's hand.But it always felt weird when a big man kissed the back of another big man's hand, so after thinking for a few seconds, Charlotte tapped the back of Manna's hand lightly.

"Won't you regret it?"

Charlotte confirmed it one last time.

"I won't regret it."

Manna shook her head solemnly.

"The Linguang family will never break their promise."

"That's good."

Charlotte nodded.

"Then let us join hands and welcome every tomorrow together."

"Happy to oblige, my lord."

"... Uncle Manna, can you stop calling me that?"

Because this title will only make Charlotte feel that this life is messed up all of a sudden.

"No, the lord is the lord, this is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what."

This is probably the stubbornness inherited from the Linguang family. In some details, Manna will not make any concessions no matter what.

"You call me 'uncle' and I call you 'lord', there is no conflict between the two."

"...As long as you like it, as long as you like it."

Manna has already talked about this, and Charlotte has nothing to say.

"Then Uncle Manna, although it was a little sudden, what I want to say is that I have a task to entrust to you tonight."

"Is it about the mission of the guests who came to Laiguang's house?"

Manna looked at Charlotte's face.

"If it's this task, then please allow me to make some necessary preparations for the guests in advance."

"Uncle Manna, did Zofia tell you in advance?"

"No, Zofia didn't tell me anything."

Manna shook her head lightly.

"It's because there is a guest who has been in the room and has been waiting for you, Lord, for a long time."

……

Manna temporarily left Charlotte's side, because as he himself said, he still has some things to prepare in advance.

Instead, a strong man sat on the sofa opposite Charlotte.

"This thing should be the so-called chemical protective suit?"

Charlotte looked at the strong man in front of him who was wrapped in a heavy chemical protective suit, his brows twitched.
