Chapter67

Arrival x Show off your strength x Iji

——One day you will meet such a person

Willing to stop for her and become her disciple

But from the beginning to the end, everything has been decided

--------------------------------

Seleustine looked at the gray castle in front of her that was particularly vivid in her memory. The faint cheers that could be heard made her look a little self-deprecating and sarcastic.

Reijiu in front of her turned around and wanted to help her, but she gently pushed back her outstretched palm.

"According to his style, there will definitely be a lot of people watching. I can just go by myself."

The man in those words is the man they both want to call their father.

Reijiu looked at Yun Danfeng's sister who said this softly, and did not ignore her lips that became increasingly pale as they moved forward.

With her current body, the walk from the port to the castle was a silent torture.

But Reijiu had to admit that what Renee said was right. What her father loved most was to play the role of a loving father and a filial son in front of outsiders.

Now he is announcing in a high profile that Sanji and Renee were just in an accident, but are actually still alive and well, and will soon return to the Kingdom of Germa to become a new force in conquering Beihai.

Naturally, he had to arrange for Germa's citizens to greet Renee when she returned, so as to show that his father valued her.

Germa has always advocated the belief that strength comes first. In such a public place, Renee, who is being supported by others, will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

It was originally the princess who had not returned for many years, and now she is so weak. I am afraid that her life will be even more difficult by then.

So even if Reijiu couldn't bear to look at her pale face and turned her head away, she still acquiesced to her request to complete this journey by herself?

Perhaps, the cruel reality has just begun to reveal the tip of the iceberg in front of them.

Seleustin endured the pain from the gunshot wound on his left leg and tried his best to maintain the balance of his body and prevent others from seeing the depth of his steps.

So she walked a little slowly, and Reijiu also cooperated with her very considerately, slowing down the pace of leading the way.

Finally, the two of them approached the end of the road, Germa's palace, the most magnificent castle in the entire kingdom.

Directly in front of the gate, there were several familiar and unfamiliar figures standing, but Seleustin could tell who they were just by looking at them.

The three people standing in front had the same hair color as Seleustine remembered when she was young, and their curly eyebrows confirmed her suspicion that they were her three brothers.

And in the shadows behind them, the blond man with arms folded and expressionless was the culprit who forced her to escape from Germa.

That is her father and the current king of the Germa Kingdom, Vinsmoke Gaji

Selustine's hands unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt. She locked her eyes behind the three of them, on Gaji's face, which gradually showed a false smile as she got closer.

Just because there is no fluctuation on the inside, but he can make a touching expression on his face, Seleustin fully admires Gaji.

"Welcome back, my daughter"

You see, it's like this now

Selustine, who was suddenly hugged by Gaji, frowned in disgust because of his touch. The pain caused by the wound involved in the movement was not as disgusting as the psychological disgust at this moment.

What she hates the most is that Gaji doesn't fulfill his duties as a father to them at all, but insists on acting like the best father in the world in front of outsiders, acting like they are everything to him.

Gaji quickly let go of Selustine amidst the cheers around him. He didn't care about her reaction at all. He turned around and gave another touching speech to the citizens.

It was nothing more than saying that his favorite daughter, whom he thought he had lost, was back, and he was very happy. In fact, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t listen to this kind of speech, anyway, the final destination will always be that Germa has added more fighting power, and the day when she rules the North Sea is just around the corner.

Seleustin followed Reiju behind him and stood with several other brothers who had big smiles on their lips.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but this breath was stung by the pain in her left chest. She raised her hand to cover the wound on her chest, her face even paler.

Today's show of bravery has reached her limit.

Over there, Gaji's speech was still going on, but she was a little dizzy. The clothes under her hands were all wet, probably because blood was oozing from the wound.

Realizing this, Seleustin pressed her palms firmly, never letting others see such obvious blood stains.

The scorching sun high in the sky burned the top of her hair, and there seemed to be tinnitus in her ears. Her vision gradually blurred, and the noisy sounds around her became heavy in her head, making her suddenly dizzy.

Unprepared for a moment, her center of gravity was unstable and she was about to fall to the right.

A strong arm hugged her, letting her lean into his arms

Seleustin leaned on this broad chest, waiting for the moment of dizziness to pass and her mind to regain clarity.

She raised her head in surprise, never expecting that he would come over to catch her and prevent her from falling to the ground exhausted in front of everyone.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. You've become weaker."

His voice is very young, particularly magnetic, and has a calmness that is different from the other brothers.

The fiery red hair reflected in Seleustin's blue eyes, making her feel a little dazed, as if she was seeing Shanks' red hair again.

That is an extremely warm color

Iji approached her, and the evil smile on his lips reminded Selustine that he was still the brother who always bullied her in her memory.

"Rei...nee..."

Good words, but he insisted on slowing down his speaking speed and slowly called her name syllable by syllable.

As if he was trying to tease her badly

Seleustin pushed him away, stood firm, and met Reiju's worried eyes. She smiled reassuringly at her and shook her head gently.

With this movement, the dizziness that had just been relieved came back to her mind. She couldn't help but frown. Her petite palm could no longer cover the blood stains on her vaginal opening, and a trace of red was faintly exposed on the edge of her delicate fingertips.

It's a pity that Kuzan gave her the dress...

Thinking like this, the world in front of Selustine became increasingly blurry. Just when she was on the verge of the limit of endurance, Iji beside her suddenly reached out and hugged her, turned around and walked towards the door.

Only then did Seleustin realize that Gaji's speech had ended.

She suddenly relaxed her vigilance in this stable embrace, and the stinging pain from the wound caused a small whimper to escape from her lips and teeth. The sudden relaxation of her spirit was in sharp contrast to the excessive tension before, and she was confused. His eyes seemed to be on the verge of coma

Iji seemed to be saying something, but the ringing in her ears was too severe to hear him clearly. She could only leave a sentence at the last moment before losing consciousness.

"Thank you...brother"

She didn't see that this short sentence made Iji put down the corners of his mouth that were always raised.

Iji walked very fast, Niji and Yuji followed Gaji casually, and did not chase him. Instead, Reiju quickly ran to his side.

"Give her to me"

A drop of sweat fell from Reiju's forehead. She and Iji faced each other in silence, because of the sister who was in Iji's arms with a large blood stain on her chest and had fallen into a coma.

Iji was wearing glasses, and Reiju couldn't see his expression, but the drooped corners of his mouth seemed to indicate that he was not in a good mood.

It was unexpected that he would help Renee. Although I don't know the reason why he did this, it is better not to let him get close to Renee again.

Reijiu thought this and was about to reach out and grab the person directly.

But Iji suddenly took a step back and avoided her outstretched arm.

As soon as he hid, Reijiu raised her eyes and stared at him, and he himself also raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.

The footsteps of his father and two younger brothers were heard behind him. Iji put on the same cynical smile as before and handed the person in his arms to Reiju.

"As expected of a waste, he still looks like this after so many years."

He spread his hands and said with a smile, then turned around to meet Gaji's condescending gaze looking at Renee.

Reiju had already reported her physical condition to Gaji, and the laboratory had been prepared long ago, waiting for her to come back to heal her stubborn injuries.

Reiju looked at Gaji who had not moved for a long time, and nervously tightened the arms holding her.

After a while, Gaji missed her and walked towards the direction of the laboratory.

"keep up"

He ordered like this, and Reijiu breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked down at the extraordinarily pale cheek in her arms, her expression full of worry.

Father will definitely find a way, definitely...

She followed Gaji without looking at the reactions of the three younger brothers who stayed there.

"But you really have grown into a beautiful woman, that guy."

Yongji raised an arm and put it on Niji's shoulder, touching his chin and reminiscing with interest about Seleustin's face that was bloodless but could not conceal its exquisiteness.

"Indeed, that's the only face you can see."

Niji crossed his arms and replied. The two brothers standing together had the same expression on their faces.

That's the smile they show when they find prey that piques their interest.

"Iji, why did you help her just now? Just let her fall, hahahaha."

"That would be fun, but it won't work, Yuuji. It won't be fun if you lose face and lose your hair."

Iji ignored the teasing of Niji and Yongji beside him. He stared at the disappearing figures of his father and others, thinking about what she said to him before she fell into coma.

Thank you, brother?

Oh, she really hasn't made any progress at all

As a royal family, you must have your own glory and pride. The Vinsmoke family does not need the word "thank you", and even gratitude is something they have abandoned.

He would catch her to prevent her from tarnishing the image of the royal family. After all, there were so many citizens watching. If she really fell, I'm afraid all of them would be disgraced.

Plus…

If he remembered correctly, Renee never called anyone her brother except for Sanji, who was as useless as she was.

Even if it's awkward, she will only call the three brothers "brother" with respect.

This was the first time he heard his sister call him eldest brother in a soft voice

No, he doesn't need such a weak sister

Iji was the first to turn around and leave, with his two younger brothers following him. This was their normal behavior in the family. As the eldest son, Iji was respected by his two younger brothers for his usual composure and leadership. Most of the time, he Niji and Yuji will listen to whatever they say.

He also recognized the strength of these two people. They were qualified royals and qualified to be his younger brothers.

As for Renee…

If his strength improves even more, Iji won’t have much to say.

If her strength is comparable to Reiju's, then he will recognize her status as a member of the Vinsmoke family

He will admit that she is his sister

Niji and Yongji didn't see the smile on the corner of Iji's mouth that was different from before, showing some interest.

Come on, Renee

I look forward to it……
