Chapter 658: Recognition
Lord’s Mansion, Study Room, Huxin Town.
Paul was sitting upright, and next to him sat Ladi Setia.
Of course he couldn't believe the woman's words immediately.
In addition to La Di, he also took other measures. A pistol was placed on the table.
Mariana and Nathan were invited in.
Mariana raised her eyes and looked around the corners of the study, with an expression of memories on her face.
“The decoration of this castle has changed a lot, but this room has remained the same.”
Ladi felt a little strange, has the teacher been here?
Paul did not respond and asked the attendant who brought Mariana: "Where is the butler Philip? I need him to come right away."
The attendant replied: "I will go find him immediately."
Paul added, "And Cecil and Blaise, I hope they can get here soon."
"Follow your orders!"
The attendant left.
Mariana looked at Paul and smiled sweetly, "Why, you still don't believe me?"
Paul stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down. Maybe you can use the water on the coffee table to moisten your throat first. Later...I have a lot to say."
Ladi became more and more confused and asked: "What on earth is this? What’s going on?”
Paul shrugged, “This woman—your teacher—said she was my mother.”
“Pfft!” Nathan took a sip. Squirted out.
La Di was shocked and speechless, her eyes widened.
Nathan put down the water glass and said with panic: "No, Mom, this is not true!"
About the matter about Paul and him being brothers, Nathan already felt intuitively that his mother was not lying. , but dare not face it.
But if it was true, another one might also follow, which confused his mind for a long time.
"It's true!" Mariana looked at her second son and said seriously:
"Nathan, you have a last name - Graiman, your full name is Nathan ·Graiman, and I am Mariana Graiman”
Paul waved his hand in front of La Di to bring her back to her senses, "This is the situation."
At this time, there was a loud knock on the door.
Paul snapped his fingers, "When Butler Philip arrives, the truth of the matter will be revealed immediately. Madam, I am a generous person. If it is false, you have one last chance.
“You actually doubt your mother! I should give you a few slaps on the ass to remind you. "Mariana thought so in her heart.
Guilt, longing, eagerness, sadness, complaint... The mixture of various emotions made her slightly irrational.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Paul shouted: "Please come in, Butler Philip."
The old butler pushed the door open and Mariana also turned to look at the door.
The door stopped halfway and Phillip saw her.
"Long time no see, Philip." There was a hint of excitement in Mariana's voice when she saw her old servant.
"Madam..." A choking sound came from the old housekeeper's throat, and his somewhat cloudy eyes instantly became moist.
Well, it turns out it's true.
Paul finally confirmed.
——
……
“I originally wanted to spend a peaceful life in the Northwest Bay as an ordinary person.”
Mariana sat on the sofa and recounted what happened more than ten years ago.
“But the Vatican’s henchmen who have been following me also came and secretly searched for my traces.”
“I had just given birth to Nathan at that time, and I was extremely uncomfortable with the use of magic. Stable, once the identity of the witch is confirmed, she will be unable to compete."
"In desperation, I had no choice but to bear the pain and separate from you and your father, take Nathan with me and leave the Northwest Bay, and tell the outside world. Died of disease ”
……
"I stayed in Cape Bay for a long time, where I taught Ladi how to use magic."
"After that, we went inland and joined the Arcana Society there."...< br>
It took nearly two hours for Mariana to briefly describe her experiences over the years.
Philip took out his handkerchief and kept wiping his eyes.
"Mrs. Mariana, you have suffered all these years!"
Mariana smiled bitterly, "It's not too difficult. Compared with those mages who suffered misfortunes, we are still lucky."
"It's just..."
Her eye circles were red, and crystal tears appeared in her eyes.
“I didn’t get to see Hart again, he was gone.”
Hart is the name of the old Graiman.
After arriving in Arda, she learned that her husband had passed away, so she hid secretly and cried.
She even wanted to kill Edward, who was traveling with her.
From the intelligence collected, we learned that it was the departure of this pirate leader that caused the pirates in the northwest offshore to lose restraint, which led to the death of her husband, and Edward was indirectly responsible.
But she still tried her best to suppress the idea - at least she couldn't do it yet.
There were no outsiders but her son, servants, and students present at the moment. In addition, Mariana couldn't help but cry again because she was confiding a secret that had been hidden for many years.
La Di stood up and walked forward, silently hugging her teacher tightly.
Philip tried to comfort him: "Please have your condolences, madam. If the old master knew that you could return to this home, he would be extremely happy."
He looked at Nathan again, this young man The person is looking at the crying mother and is at a loss.
I swear to God, I have never seen my mother cry once since I can remember.
Mariana has always shown him a strong, optimistic, calm and intelligent image.
“Master Nathan.”
Butler Philip’s eyes were red, but his face was full of relief.
"You have grown into a healthy young man. I think the old master must be very happy in heaven."
Nathan moved his lips, not knowing how to answer the question.
"Why did you take...my brother away? I think it would be very inconvenient to take a child with you."
Paul, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"That's because..."
Mariana felt an inexplicable fear in her heart - was the eldest son blaming her?
“Your brother inherited my talent and showed an affinity for magic right after he was born. If you don’t take him away, he who didn’t know how to disguise it at the time will be exposed very quickly. ”
"That's it." Paul nodded, "Okay, let's talk about the secret society again."
"Count Greyman!" Ladi called him, with a hint of accusation. .
She walked to Paul in a few steps, leaned over and whispered: "I think you should give your mother and brother a hug first."
Paul stayed for a moment and came to Mariana Arms outstretched at side.
“Welcome home, my mother.”
Before she could finish her words, Mariana hugged her.
“My child, do you know how much your mother misses you?”
Paul stiffly allowed his mother to hug and sniff him.
"Almost every night, you will appear in my dreams."
Really?
Paul was very confused, mixed with a bit of resentment.
Then why are you in such a hurry to leave Arda?
If I hadn’t stopped him, this scene wouldn’t have happened.
