The platinum-gold sun shines through the frosted glass and casts on the clear lake, sparkling waves of light. And in the jewel-like brilliance, the silhouette of the leaping fish flashed from time to time. With the deep and crisp sound of entering the water, the water splashed lightly on the extremely light barrier, and finally landed at the old man's feet.

I moved my gaze to Gwen's body. It's been a long time or not since the last meeting. Although he is getting older, Gwen still looks good.

"Jiulan didn't come together today."

The man's voice was hoarse and vicissitudes of life, but his tone was very gentle. After all, in his eyes with Alzheimer's, he is still that young trainee teacher.

"Yeah. My sister is going out today for something. So let me see you."

I answered kindly. The expression is natural, and the voice is neither rush nor slow. Just like normal small talk.

In Gwen's eyes, Jiulan is Ashilain. Of course he came with me. But now he is waiting in the hall.

This is my plan.

Gwen's current state does not remember what happened more than 40 years ago. Facility matters can only obey fate, hit luck, and wait for a miracle.

But fortunately, Arnold was removed. I have other things I want to know.

"I saw that man at the door today. He came to pick up his sister on a date."

Gwen looked over. And I was still looking at the lake, scratching my nose, "Sister asked me to tell you... the answer to that question last time is-yes."

Rozroltun who is not the Perrelet family. Nor is it the Heron Oz of the Baird royal family.

What she likes is the little-known, the lord of the small town of Saint Enluth.

Gwen was silent for a while.

Immediately said with emotion.

"Sure enough."

"...After all, I am so old. My girlfriends have also talked a few times."

Probably because my gaze was too deep to explore. Gwen coughed lightly, his old face flushed, and he said embarrassedly, "The way Jiulan looks at him. It's the way he looks at a lover."

My expression suddenly became mysterious.

Can this also be seen?

"Well. You are still young." The old man's voice was low and low. Maybe it's an occupational disease. When he speaks to me seriously, I always feel like being told by the teacher, "When you grow up, you will understand. What kind of eyes are people looking at their beloved."

...I squinted the blind eye slightly. Recalling the look in the eyes of those who claim to like me when they looked at me.

never mind. Still don't want to.

"That. Bachelor Gwen." I put up a hand when the imagination failed. "Can you describe it in detail to me. What kind of eyes did Jiulan look at him?"

"Describe in detail—"

Gwen pondered for a moment. Then he said suddenly, "It's...pure."

"Pure affection."

The black pupils shrank slightly. When I heard these two words, I shook my mind.

Because I thought of Ashleyn.

[Gadli cut. If I say I want to be your knight. 】

[Will you be willing. 】

When the teenager with violet eyes speaks to me, his voice is always gentle and beautiful.

But this time. But hoarse and hesitated.

Yes. When he said this to me. The mood is not pure.

Because he himself understands. I posed an impossible problem.

So I answered him that way at that time.

【Will not. 】

【Because you also have things you must accomplish yourself. 】

This is the difference between Ahirain and Arnold. This is why only Arnold can be my knight.

Arthur, who is king, will not mention it for the time being. Whether it's Ace, Adam or Ashley. They all have their own clear goals, and they all have their own paranoid beliefs.

If someday "I" and their "beliefs" conflict. They will definitely choose the latter.

But Arnold is different.

His belief is his goal. It's always just "Gadrich".

Although I don't know when I became his all inexplicably. but now. It is absolutely impossible for me to give up on him.

[...So too. 】

Ahiline let out a sigh of relief. Slightly leaned against the inner wall of the carriage. Smiled gently to me.

It was as dim as watching the last hope fall away. It was as if finally made up some determination to be comforted.

Although it is smiling. But I guess my expression is the same as his.

I don't want you to be my knight. If we become enemies someday, please don't be merciful. Let's work hard for their own beliefs.

This is also my highest kindness to you.

"...It's so hard to like someone completely and purely."

Thoughts fluctuated with the sparkling lake. I sighed in such a low voice.

"Yes."

The shattered and bright lake light was reflected in the wrinkled eyes, gleaming in the dimness and gloom of the years, "Rhodes, he also likes Jiulan so purely."

I looked at Gwen.

"Don't get me wrong. I am not resenting that man."

The old man sitting in the dark magic chair leaned back on the chair, tilted his head slightly, and stared at the calm lake with slightly drooping eyes. Serene and plain.

"Emotions are unreasonable things. Equality can never be possible."

"But love makes people ignore the inequality."

"My wife and I began with the political marriage of Baide. There is no emotional connection. Although we are still in love with each other. But there is always something different."

The black eyes shrank slightly. I looked at Gwen in shock. I saw him chuckle. Is it the cause of Huguang? Those eyes that should have been dim at this age are surprisingly clear.

I muttered in a daze, "I thought you would continue to pretend to be--"

The unfinished words stopped.

Because Gwen gently pressed his fingers covered with fine lines on his lips.

"I'm getting old. It's hard to speak. Haha."

Gwen smiled happily. But after all, I was getting older and coughed without a few laughs. Not as full of anger as his son. I was so scared that I patted his back quickly.

"Ah... kids your age. Once you get what you want to know, you won't come to see me again."

The corners of my mouth twitched sharply. Although some guessed that Gwen's dementia was pretending. But I didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

Sure enough, the older people get more skinny?

"You want to know about Jiulan." Gwen smiled, "So turn that boy off."

...I looked at him. Nodding complicatedly.

But the reason I did this was not because I was afraid that Ashleyn would know. Instead, the curious "sister" turned the "sister" away, and it was more reasonable to inquire about the gossip of the "sister".

"Jiulan is a very strong little girl. But she also loves to cry."

The old voice is mixed with nostalgia. Gwen said, "Her parents love her very much. But at the same time they forced her too hard."

"Success is hard to come by. Even a genius will encounter countless failures. Every time Jiulan encounters a setback, she will go to the college garden to hide and cry."

"And it was there. She ran into that man."

As if thinking of something. Gwen sighed for a long time, "He has a delicate and weak face but he is unexpectedly rebellious. I thought he was the caretaker of the Bad Garden. I didn't expect to just come to skip class and sleep."

... So Grandpa is such a person?

My expression was a little disillusioned for a moment. But it quickly reacted. He stared at Gwen with an incredible face, "Bachelor Gwen. Why do you know so much?"

A large group of old men gave a light cough, "I am Jiulan's teacher... of course I will make some small magical devices."

I squinted blindly. Looking at him with a grin. I didn't expect to meet my colleagues.

But should I say that I am a father and son? It's exactly the same in the point of like assists and gossip.

"Did you know? That man didn't know that the girl crying in front of him was Jiulan. He just comforted her like an ordinary girl."

Gwen smiled. Some helplessly shook his head, "He didn't even know that she was the daughter of a bachelor. The nobleman of Baide. The genius of the academy's magic instrument."

"And he just likes her purely."

The dim eyes drooped slightly. The old man's expression seemed to be looking at the ages, "And this feeling. Even after learning of Jiulan's identity, it has not changed."

Not to be shaken by other life experiences. Don't feel inferior because of the gap between talents.

Even after learning everything. He also has the courage to love her. There is also the consciousness of doing everything to give her happiness.

He just loves her purely.

"That's why Jiulan fell in love with him."

Gwen said so. The expression is indifferent. "Hadremer's mother and I have loved ones. But in the end we both gave up for various reasons."

"Maybe it's because we don't have the courage. We don't have the corresponding consciousness." Gwen moved. When he is old, he has been sitting in the magic chair and can only relax his body like this, "There is no doubt true love between them... to be honest. I am envious."

"I bless them from the bottom of my heart."

...Is that so?

The body instinctively breathed out lightly. After learning everything. Even after a long time, I still couldn't help being moved by their feelings.

"You are Jiulan's offspring, right."

The black eyes shrank slightly. My breath choked for a moment. The old man didn't look at me, his eyes always fell on the flooding lake.

"After knowing their story, you showed a happy expression. As if you felt the same." Gwen continued, "If you count your age...granddaughter?"

"...Yes." I nodded with a complex expression.

"I didn't expect that little devil would have such a good daughter. It seems that genes are inherited from generation to generation."

Bachelor Gwen, are you dissatisfied with my dad?

I made a complicated expression in my heart. At this moment, Gwen turned his head. Said to me.

"But. Rhodes' feelings for Jiulan are just as pure."

"Do you know why Rhodes gave up in the end."

"Because of time."

"He knows he is dying. So he hopes that his beloved woman can be with the man who accompanies her."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Someone wanted to know the reason why grandma liked grandpa a long time ago. This chapter explains it.

Grandpa is also a very nice person. He loves Jiulan only because of Jiulan itself.

Look at the response to an article about the previous generation. Grandpa is a delicate boy with light blond hair. But the character is very rebellious. Like to skip classes and have a dark belly. 【Hey】

The grandpa who lives leisurely and the grandma who lives under high pressure. It's also a team of destiny.

The men in this article. All have their own beliefs.

All have been so bitter in purgatory for so long. It is impossible to simply give up just because of Gardrich.

Talking about people means that they have their own things to do. It is impossible to revolve around you Jiamei(.)

I think such a male Raiders role is more attractive.

Although it seems that this kind of text is less. (Cough cough)

Lifespan is really a sad thing.

Rhodes is. Jiamei is too.

(Hey, unknowingly, this article is no longer a simple Otome article... I hope everyone can feel the emotion I want to express)
