Skretil's Ignorance Walker

After walking in the huge castle for about half an hour, Lu Ren finally followed Lina to a not-so-big library.

Lu Ren was a little bored along the way, she kept yawning. Leila in Lina's arms was also a little bored, but she behaved very well and didn't cry at all.

After arriving at the library, Lina asked Lu Ren to sit down first, then left Leila to her, and began to look for something in the surrounding bookshelves.

Lu Ren sat on the chair and Leila sat on his lap. They looked at each other but didn't say a word.

As the elder, Lu Ren could only smile awkwardly, and Leila also seemed very polite. She sat in Lu Ren's arms and watched her mother rummaging around not far away.

"found it."

Finally, Lina found a yellowed and damaged antique book from the pile of old books, and placed it on the table in front of Lu Ren.

"Cough...cough..."

The heavy, old books fell on the wooden table, raising a lot of dust and making Lu Ren and Leila cough continuously.

"What are you doing..."

After finally taking a breath, Lu Ren covered his mouth and nose and asked Lina.

“This…is our family’s history.”

"Family history?"

Seeing that Lu Ren and Leila seemed very confused, Lina's eyes became very serious. She turned one of the pages and then began to explain things to the two of them like an old storyteller.

"Once upon a time, the Ackfres family was a noble family on the Albi Islands. They were once extremely glorious..."

While reading the contents of the book, Lina began to outline the past of the Akefres family for Lu Ren through her own memories.

"When there were many countries on the Albi Islands, it was our ancestor, Emperor Ackfreth the Great, who defeated all competitors and truly united the Albian people. He was also the first Supreme King in Albi's history..."

The sunlight shines through the window onto the table. The dust in the air is very clear in the eyes of the three people, just like fragments of time, giving people a long and heavy feeling, making people's senses become a little strange.

"However, after hundreds of years, the successors of the Aquifrès family were no longer capable of serving as co-leaders of Albi.

The kings of other kingdoms defeated the High King at that time and began to liquidate the descendants of the Akfrères family. As a result, the surviving Akfrères fled in all directions, and one of them crossed the sea to Frannia and settled in Nagios until today. "

After finishing speaking, Lina sighed, turned the book to the last page, and then said from the perspective of a bystander:

"To this day, there are still a very small number of descendants of Aqfreys who still take it as their mission to revive the great achievements of their ancestors."

"..."

After Lina finished speaking, she kept looking at the high tower of the castle, which was where the lord's office was located, and also where her brother Lance assisted his father in handling government affairs.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ren digested Lina's words and what he heard last night. Without paying attention to Leila, who was still confused after hearing the story, Lu Ren looked at Lina and said:

"You mean to say that he wants to revive the hegemony of your ancestors?"

"Well, that's a possibility..."

Lina's expression was very heavy, but she nodded slowly. No one expected that Lance would have such an ideal.

"He's crazy. He will drag our entire family into an abyss of no return..."

When Lina thought about what her brother was about to do, she felt a sense of fear. If this matter got out of hand, Count Valuka might have to be replaced.

"But what basis does he have to do this? Isn't the war in Frannia about to end? How does he plan to start a rebellion?"

Lu Ren was also very puzzled. Why did Lance do this? Was it just relying on the Nagios troops of the Ackfres family? And what did he want to achieve? To split the land and become a king? Or to become the overlord of Albi or Frannia? Or even further?

There are too many things that Lu Ren cannot figure out. Even if Lance unified the power of the entire Valuka region, he is destined to be unable to compete with the Frannia royal family.

In addition to what happened last night, it seems that they are planning to kidnap Lina to make Wildi hesitate. It seems that Lance's ambition is not small.

However, Lu Ren and Lance had only met once or twice, so she didn't know what Lance was thinking. It was just that Lu Ren instinctively felt that the guy was a little annoying.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I want to tell my father about this. Although I don't know what other cards that guy has, I still want my father to prepare early."

Lina frowned. She didn't want to see such fratricide, but she didn't know whether the other party thought so too.

It was not until now that Lina sighed and realized that she didn't understand her brother at all.

"If only... I could get to know him better..."

"what?"

"No...nothing..."

Lina was just talking to herself in a low voice, but Lu Ren noticed it, so he subconsciously shook his head.

"After all, will your father believe you? After all, that guy is his heir..."

Lu Ren also expressed his concerns. If Lina acted rashly, it might alert the enemy. If the other party turned the tables, the relationship between Lina and her father might be damaged.

"But if we don't tell anyone, by the time he starts a rebellion, it might be too late."

"..."

The two fell into silence. If they didn't consider the consequences, Lu Ren could have used his powerful strength to wipe out everything. But reality is not a happy story. Everyone needs to consider the consequences of what they do.

However, at this moment, an uninvited guest arrived at the scene.

"Miss, Master Lance wants to see you."

At the latest, the man appeared at the door of the library and spoke to Lina with a flattering smile.

"I'm afraid this is a trap. They might be ready to take action..."

Seeing this, Lu Ren quietly reminded Lina, who looked at Lu Ren and then at Leila, who was still sitting quietly in Lu Ren's arms. After seeing her mother's gaze, she also reached out her hand and wanted to hug her mother.

"Take care of Leila for me."

However, Lina just gently touched Leila's little head, then followed the man away without looking back.

"Mother mother..."

Looking at her mother's back as she left, Leila, who was always quiet and well-behaved, reached out her hand to Lina and called out in a baby voice, trying to grab her mother with her small jade hands.

"..."

Lu Ren understood what Lina meant. She wanted to use himself as bait to make Count Valuka realize the truth. Now what Lu Ren needed to do was to hide Leila in a safe place and then tell Lina's father the truth and protect Lina as much as possible.
