This is not stubbornness after deceiving oneself and others, nor is it a disguise out of habit, but a true indifference.

Xin La turned around and apologized to Karen:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cullen, and I beg your forgiveness for my previous offense."

Karen looked at her and smiled: "You don't have to apologize, because I didn't hear clearly what you just said."

This is a very appropriate statement, but there is another explanation.

finally,

After waiting hungrily, Allen Manor finally arrived.

"It's a very exquisite manor," Ophelia said. "From here, you can see the prosperity of the Allen family back then."

For a young lady from the Allen family to be able to fall in love with her ancestors, she must first be qualified to meet her ancestors. At the very least, everyone can have the opportunity to sit at the same table and communicate.

Karen was a little amused. He promised Eunice that he would come back often in the future, but he came back so quickly.

What’s even funnier is that next, Old Anderson and the others need to act like they don’t recognize them at all.

Because they had received advance notification from the Cult of Kosmos that the visitor was a young lady from the Dark Moon family, the Allen Manor presented a more grand ceremony than when they first welcomed Her Majesty the Queen.

However, the car still stopped in front of the castle and was not led around to the back of the castle.

Karen got out of the car first, and then took the initiative to help Ophelia out of the car. At this time, Karen heard some "empty" sounds, as if coming from her stomach.

Ophelia's expression remained normal, and she took the initiative to walk towards Old Anderson after getting off the car.

Old Anderson also stepped forward to greet him in person. The ceremony was grand, but he did not kowtow.

"The Allen family welcomes the arrival of Dark Moon, and also welcomes the arrival of Order."

"Hello, I apologize for the hasty visit." Ophelia also saluted Old Anderson seriously, "Thank you for your grand welcome. May the friendship between Dark Moon and Allen last forever."

The next step is to introduce each other to each other, similar to visiting family friends.

Karen didn't hide herself deliberately because she didn't need to.

After all, the Allen Manor had completely relied on "acting" in the past few years to confuse the Raphael family, making the Raphael family think that although the Allen family was weakened, it still had a certain foundation, so they did not rush to attack the Allen family.

Launching the final blow, I am afraid that the Allen family will suffer a death blow.

When it comes to acting, everyone in the Allen family led by Anderson Sr. is really professional.

However, Karen was still thinking about whether he should find a chance to go upstairs to see Eunice, but he didn't know where the captain and the others would hide, just in case he sneaked up and was seen by his teammates in the dark.

what to do?

The captain said that everyone in the team has a secret and he will not take the initiative to explore Karen's secrets, but this does not mean that the captain is blind.

After entering the castle, Karen, Bibo and Fanny followed Ophelia. Old Anderson led Ophelia to visit the patriarch's study. In front of a portrait, old Anderson conducted detailed inspections on Ophelia.

introduction.

This is the glory of the ancestors of the Allen family. Old Anderson introduced it very emotionally, and even cried as he introduced it. He began to blame himself for having failed his ancestors and running the family into such a land.

Obviously, the old Anderson, who got Karen's hint, stuck to the theme.

Karen felt that the old Anderson at this time was very much like an old village chief facing a group of poverty alleviation cadres sent to the countryside.

Ophelia began to take the initiative to comfort old Anderson, and also made a promise that the Darkmoon family would help the Allen family, which also involved... the sea trade route.

This should be the next step in the talks between Darkmoon Island and the Cult of Kosmos. Both parties will get what they need. The trade between Darkmoon Island and the Cult of Kosmos is a necessary part, but when it is implemented at the grassroots level, even if the Allen family

Just this little bit is a considerable fortune for the current Allen family, and it also improves the family's standards.

When introducing Rekar and several other Allen ancestors, Ophelia also told the stories she had heard about them on Darkmoon Island.

Obviously, the ancestors of the Allen family have left many stories and legends on the sea.

For this reason, Old Anderson took the opportunity to wipe away his tears for a while.

at last,

The main event is coming,

When Ophelia took the initiative to ask if there was a portrait of Miss "Pall Allen", Old Anderson took her to the picture.

"Really...is it Miss Pall?"

Ophelia actually noticed this painting as soon as she came in. She really couldn't help but notice that the walls of the huge study room were all full of people, but this painting turned out to be a black cat sitting on a chair.

Karen stood behind Ophelia, holding back her laughter.

She could clearly see Ophelia's embarrassment, because her current outfit was not very similar to the cat in the portrait... they were exactly the same.

Karen felt that there must be a portrait or sculpture of Pu'er in the palace on Dark Moon Island, but it was definitely not in the form of a cat.

Although she turned into a cat, her legend still circulates in the world.

Old Anderson introduced: "Ahem...this ancestor, she...she has a relatively free and easy personality."

Ophelia took a deep breath, and her previous embarrassment turned into a loud laugh. She bent over with laughter, and even burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't have the slightest disrespect for Miss Pall, but I suddenly realized what kind of character a young lady is that can make my ancestors be so fascinated and obsessed with her for a lifetime."

Ophelia is emotional. From this painting, she seems to see Pu'er's soul, an interesting and free and unrestrained soul that is not afraid of the world.

Even in this solemn scene, she still faced it with a playful attitude. She definitely knew that her painting would always be placed here for future generations to admire.

Yes, only such a young lady can be worthy of being liked by the ancestors, and the ancestors can be so emotional towards her.

In front of this portrait, Ophelia seemed to see her own shadow and received some kind of guidance and resonance.

Karen said: "I think Miss Ophelia can quietly look at and admire her here. Dear Mr. Anderson, what do you think?"

"Oh, of course, that's what it should be."

Old Anderson immediately led the others out of the bedroom.

Karen also motioned for Bi and Fanny to go out together. Only Ophelia was left in the study.

…

After a while, Borg came over pushing a dining cart, because when he passed by him before, Karen whispered, "I'm hungry."

Karen walked over, took the dining car, and was about to push it to the study when Fanny and Bibo stopped him:

"Food, have you checked it?"

"I've tasted it, and it's fine. The main thing is that I heard Miss..." Karen pointed to her belly, "More importantly, I seemed to have pushed the dining cart out before people had eaten."

At this time, Fanny and Bibin were also embarrassed.

Karen didn't know if the captain and teammates hiding in the dark would be embarrassed when they heard this. After all, everyone was sharing the food.

As a security guard, he actually ate all the food of the person he was protecting and left the person he was protecting to starve. It would be really shameful for this to spread.

Bi and Fanny quickly opened the study door for Karen, and Karen pushed the dining cart in.

Seeing the dining car being pushed in, Ophelia opened her mouth wide, but immediately closed it and swallowed.

at this moment,

She felt like Karen was glowing!

"This is the afternoon tea provided by the Allen family. Miss, you can enjoy it first. After the enjoyment is over, we will go to the cemetery."

After saying that, Karen turned around and walked out of the study.

Twenty minutes later, Karen knocked on the door, and the female warrior Panmir opened the door. Karen did not go in, but said:

"Miss, we should go to the cemetery, because we need to go back at night, so our time is limited."

"OK."

Ophelia came out with a smile on her face, while Cinna looked at the dining car.

"Don't worry about the dining car, Ms. Xinla. The servants of the manor will clean it up after we leave. The dining car we ate at is also outside."

"Okay, okay." Xin La immediately followed her lady out of the study.

After they all came out, Karen closed the study door.

Ophelia also breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved that Karen didn't push the dining cart anymore, because she didn't want Karen to see the embarrassing scene where the food under the white cloth of the dining cart had been eaten clean.

Next, everyone, led by old Anderson, rode to the cemetery.

After arriving at the cemetery, Karen saw Pu'er's tombstone. On the tombstone, there was a sculpture of a cat, and it had been made to look "beaten".

There are two lines of words engraved under the tombstone:

You said that you and I are like two fishes in a pond. Even if the water in the pond is dry, we will spit to moisten each other; but I hope you can return to the sea and find your freedom.

I once lit a bonfire that could illuminate half of the sky, but I know that in your eyes, it can't match the half ray of light from the dark moon.

After seeing these two lines of words, tears flowed from Ophelia's eyes, and even Xinla and the female warrior Panmir also shed tears. Obviously, they also grew up listening to the love story of that ancestor.

How free and easy, willful and lovely Miss Pall is. Her love for her ancestors is so deep, but her ancestors ultimately abandoned her in order to protect the Dark Moon.

But she didn't have the slightest hatred for her ancestors, and everything she wrote was full of tolerance and fulfillment.

Karen, standing next to Ophelia, said softly:
To be continued...
