Chapter 5 Feng Man Lou
"If I could live in that turbulent era and witness the brilliant miracles he created, it would be so happy! In a thousand years, no man could be compared with him was born on the Elantra continent. This is really a tragedy of history!"
Sighing softly, Linda slowly closed the "Biography of Glory" in her hand, stood up, and looked at the sky in a daze. Her beautiful eyes shone with a confusing light, traveling through the magnificent river of time, chasing the figure of the Glorious Emperor. During the period of confinement, this book, which records the legendary life of the Glorious Emperor, a thousand years ago, temporarily made her forget her worries and sorrows, and found a trace of spiritual comfort.
After a long time, the sound of birds singing outside the window brought her back to reality.
"Although you are running around for life every day, you have the right to fly freely in the sky!" Looking at the birds on the tree enviously, Linda said to herself, "While my bird in the cage is safe, I can never fly again!"
Is it really an unforgivable mistake to reject someone you don’t like and a marriage that may cause tragedy?
Why, in my father's heart, the humble farmer, the young man who was expelled from the family, was actually more important than her? Could it be that he was the son of Marshal Langdon?
"Martyr Langdon, please forgive me. I am not intentionally trying to hurt Arthur. I just hope that he can see the reality clearly and leave voluntarily. I just want to fight for my own freedom!" She still respects Langdon, the commander of the three armed forces of the Tianmeng Federation, who sometimes even thinks that if Martyr Langdon did not die young, he might be very likely to become a tall and upright man like the glorious emperor.
A soft knock on the door came from outside, and the maid Lis sounded: "Miss, the master asked you to see her."
When Linda arrived at the main hall, Megan and Anne were talking in a low voice.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Linda asked with her head down when she stood in front of her parents. She was afraid that after she raised her head, she saw her father's angry gaze again.
Annie got up and walked forward, hugged her daughter beside her, and looked at Megan with a resentful look: "It's all you, I scared my daughter like this!"
Then, she asked Linda to sit next to her.
"Can you blame me? My Meghan's daughter should know what to do and what not to do." Meghan said expressionlessly.
"Father, my daughter knows that she is wrong, please forgive me." Linda said sadly.
"Your daughter, you should know the best. Although she was wrong about Arthur, she would not have the intention to hurt him." Anne sighed, "Some things may be fate!"
"Oh!" Megan sighed helplessly, "This matter ends here. It's over. I'm asking you to come today to tell you that from today on, you have no relationship with Arthur anymore, and I will no longer force you. You must remember the lessons this time and be aware of yourself in the future!"
Linda was surprised by her father's words. She originally thought that no matter how hard she tried, with her father's style of doing things, the decision would not be easily changed.
"Is there really something wrong with Arthur?" A little panic surged into Linda's heart without any relief.
"Father, how is Arthur now?" she asked anxiously.
"He was disfigured and disappeared in prison." Megan said coldly.
"How could this happen?" Linda asked, "Father, please send someone to find him!" The worse Arthur's condition, the stronger her self-blame was.
"I have searched all the cavalry and searched several cities around Patna, but there is no news yet."
"Also, the several prison guards in charge of guarding Arthur were all missing and no trace was found." Anne added.
"So, you don't have to worry about me forcing you to marry him. You're free, Linda!" After Megan said, he turned around and walked away with his sleeves, his back feeling desolate and lonely.
Linda burst into tears and was speechless. She knew that the disaster was really a big deal, which not only hurt Arthur, but also hurt her father's heart.
It is one thing to look down on Arthur, but she is clear about Marshal Langdon's position in his father's heart. He values this relationship between his brothers more than his life.
Her mother once told her that during the days when Marshal Langdon was suspicious of treason and disobedience and was dismissed from all military positions, titles, honors and a comprehensive investigation, her father still firmly supported him, not even afraid of being classified as his accomplice.
"Daughter, things have come to this point, don't think too much." Annie walked forward, stroked her daughter's long hair, and said softly.
"Mother, why is this happening?" Linda asked sadly.
"I haven't told you some things that I don't want you to carry some unnecessary burdens." Annie looked at her, her eyes full of pity, "so, I have to let your father bear all the pressure alone, including your complaints and misunderstandings about him."
Linda looked up in shock: "What burden?"
"You know, Arthur is the son of Marshal Langton. But have you ever wondered why a marshal's son would become a farmer?" Anne asked, "Your father has always been a low-key person. Why did you publicly announce your engagement with Arthur?"
Linda shook her head.
"Fifteen years ago, Marshal Langdon was killed in the Far East and was defiled for treason and disobedience. After the federal investigation into him, the Stoke family where the Marshal was located encountered a huge crisis. Lei Yun, the then patriarch, was the father of Langdon, drove Arthur and his son out of the house to protect the family and completely draw a clear line with Langdon. When your father found Arthur, there was only an old servant by his side and his mother was missing." Recalling the past, Anne's eyes were covered with mist.
"With his father's ability, it is not a problem to train him to become a talent. Why did he be a farmer in the countryside?" Linda asked in confusion.
Anne sighed: "Because Arthur's mother left a message to the old servant when she left, letting her son live in seclusion in the countryside and be an ordinary farmer. She said that in this dark world, it was a kind of happiness for her son to live. Perhaps, after experiencing the disaster, she no longer wanted Arthur to be involved in power, politics, and struggle. Your father respected her decision, but in order to protect Arthur, he announced your engagement with her. Unfortunately, in the end, we still did not protect him!"
After hearing what Linda said, she felt very regretful. It turned out that Arthur was as silly as her, why did she make things difficult for him?
"How could he disappear if Patna City's No. 1 Prison is so strict?" she asked again.
"No one knows what happened." Anne shook her head, "but something strange happened after Arthur disappeared.
"What's up?"
"The next night Arthur disappeared, four evil servants who participated in beating him on the street were killed. Du Wei from the Winston family was also seriously injured, and Aris from the Field family was also assassinated, but he escaped safely."
Speaking of this, she looked at Linda deeply, "Linda, your unintentional action has provoked not only the battle on the street, but also a bloody battle surrounding Arthur!"
