Hart extended his right hand. Leonard quickly kissed the ring on his right hand, which represented loyalty.
Hart patted him on the shoulder and led him to the door.
The waiter also opened the door at the same time.
"Maybe one day I will need your help. That day may never come, but before that day comes, please accept this justice."
"Thank you, Godfather." Leonard said gratefully.
"You're welcome."
Leonard turned around and planned to go out, but at some point, two people stood on the corridor outside the door.
One is a young man who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other young man with white hair, although he also looks very young, has a temperament like an ancient tree that has lived for hundreds of years, full of age, which makes people look... Unclear age.
"Mr. Char!"
Seeing the person coming, Hart's eyes lit up.
Is he someone he knows? Leonard thought to himself.
He looked at Hart, at the Thasiri legend.
In his impression, this godfather had always been moody and unsmiling.
This was the first time he had seen him show such an expression.
Not only him, but the two mafia members in the office who are responsible for protecting Hart's safety are also somewhat novel.
"Why are you here?" Hart said happily.
Xia Ya shook the invitation in her hand, "Didn't you invite me here?"
"Come on, come in quickly."
Hart led Xia into the office. Instead of sitting on the office chair, he looked at the two mafiosi who were sitting on the sofa.
The two people got up quickly.
Hart sat on the sofa on one side, while Char sat on the other sofa across a coffee table.
Leonard came back to his senses, and when he saw this, he knew that he shouldn't stay any longer. He bowed to Hart.
"Well, godfather, see you at the wedding."
With that said, he retreated from here.
The waiter in black on one side came over with a teapot and was about to pour tea for Hart and Char. But then, Hart took the teapot from his hand and poured a cup of tea for Char himself, and then Just pour it for yourself.
The two young mafiosi beside him raised their eyebrows slightly. They looked at each other, but still had no words.
Xia Ya picked up the tea on the side of the table and took a sip and said curiously, "Why did that person just call you godfather?"
Hart's cheeks lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, "There is an old saying in Sasili: The world is too dangerous, and a child must have two fathers.
Therefore, when the child reaches a certain age, the father will ask a local person with prestige and authority to act as the child's godfather.
Many people will choose me.
The godfather is the protector and second guardian of the baptized person.
The organization provides protection to the civilians here and becomes their protector, so even some adults still call me godfather. "
A flash of light flashed in Xia Ya's eyes.
“I have sent many people to deliver small gifts to you in the past few years,” Hart said, “but I have never been able to find the location of your garden.
I also entrusted someone to send this invitation with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect you to actually come.
Frena is so lucky.
Her wedding becomes more meaningful if you come. "
"I prefer purity." Xia Ya said.
He pointed to Arthur beside him, "He is my student."
"His name is Arthur."
Hearing the name, Hart's eyelids closed and he turned his attention to Arthur.
On the night of Frena's accident, Hart was still deeply impressed by the woman Mr. Char brought, not only her appearance, but also her possible identity.
After that, Hart learned more about the legend of King Arthur, and even went to the imperial capital to try out the sword in the stone.
But obviously, he didn't pull it out.
Now, Mr. Xia happens to have a person named Arthur next to him, and he is also his student. It is difficult not to make people think of this.
Hart's eyes flashed with light, and he looked at the mafia on one side, signaling him to come over.
The mafioso stepped forward slowly, lowered his head, and Hart said something in his ear.
Then the mafioso walked out, and a moment later, he came in with a blunderbuss.
The workmanship of the fire gun is very exquisite, with a lot of gold and gems as embellishments on it.
"This firegun was given to me by a friend of mine in Europe. I like it very much."
He looked at Arthur with soft eyes.
"Come here, kid."
Arthur walked over, and Hart handed him the blunderbuss.
"Now, it belongs to you. Show this firecracker to anyone in Malfia and tell them your needs, and they will definitely satisfy you."
Arthur glanced at Char, and after seeing that his expression did not change, he took the blunderbuss, and then took it in his hand with some joy and started playing with it.
At this time, Xia Ya slowly said, "Actually, besides attending this wedding, I have one more thing to do."
"You said it," Hart said.
"Can this child be left here with you for a while?"
Hart opened his eyes slightly.
Xia Ya said with a slight smile, "I have taught him everything he needs to teach, but he still has to learn the last lesson, which is the human heart."
"The human heart." Hart mused.
"I hope you can teach him this." Xia Ya said, "And I also think you are the perfect person.
The future of Brittania is ultimately decided by Brittania, isn't it? "
Hart obviously understood the pun in Char's last sentence, and he also confirmed his suspicion at this moment. He looked at Char again, his eyes flashing.
"Since it is your request, Mr. Xia Ya, then naturally I will not refuse."
Hart looked at Xia Ya, hesitated and said.
"That's right, I have a heartfelt request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Xia Ya raised his eyebrows, then smiled, "What?"
"Since you are here, can you be Frena's witness?" Hart said with a smile, "As the most distinguished person present, it is most appropriate for you to be the witness."
Xia thought for a while and said, "I don't have a problem. Isn't it just that priests do this kind of thing?"
"I think he would agree," Hart said.
Xia Ya drank all the water in the teacup in her hand, "When does it start?"
This obviously meant that he agreed, and Hart was very happy, with a joyful smile on his face, and he said quickly.
"At noon, I will take you to meet the bride and groom first."
After saying that, he stood up and gestured towards the door with his hand.
Char stood up and followed him out, and Arthur followed Char.
The two mafiosi looked at each other, and although they had a lot to say, they followed out immediately.
They arrived at the first floor of the mansion, where Frena, wearing a wedding dress, was standing in the courtyard with her husband to greet the guests.
Frena was still as beautiful as when she first saw her. She was talking and laughing with the guests. Although there was still a trace of sadness in her eyes that could not be eliminated, her mood had also softened a lot.
The man is a handsome young man and a Celtic. However, his right sleeve is empty and he looks like a disabled person.
"Gray and Nick were pursuing Frena together." Hart said slowly, "However, Frena liked Nick more, so Gray voluntarily quit.
Later, after Frena's accident, he was one of the people who killed those bastards.
On the day when the lieutenant colonel went crazy and kidnapped someone, we locked him in the house and didn't let him out.
Three people died because of his own fault. He blamed himself and was depressed for a while.
I let him stay with Frena, and their two wounded souls found redemption in each other and healed each other.
Later, on the day when Sassili launched a general attack on the army in West France, he rushed to the front and was hit by a shotgun, almost losing his life.
Frena had been watching over him at the bedside.
It seemed that because of Frena, he successfully returned from the border of hell. Although his right hand was gone, he was still alive. "
Xia Ya nodded, "Very upright and courageous."
"Otherwise, I won't feel free to marry Frena to him." Hart looked at Frena deeply, "After her father died, I was her only relative, and there were already many gaps in her soul. I will never allow anyone to hurt her again."
Xia Ya smiled and said, "You are a good godfather."
Hart let out a breath.
"This era has become increasingly turbulent recently, and I don't know how long I can maintain such stability."
"The answer to this question must be answered by that child." Xia Ya said,
Hart turned his attention to Arthur, who was eating cake not far away.
The couple's wedding was not held in a church, but in the courtyard outside the house.
The previous church was destroyed in a bombing three years ago, and there was never time to rebuild it.
Xia Ya put on a very clean white magic robe and stood at the top. The man stood beside him and waited quietly.
The neatly arranged seats below were full of guests, and they all looked at Xia with some curiosity.
Because most of the people here knew who the original witness of the wedding was.
That was the priest whom my godfather had invited from Rome.
At this moment, the priest was sitting in the first row, next to the godfather's seat, looking at Xia Ya on the high platform with a look of resentment.
After appointing a witness, the witness is changed midway, which is very rare in many weddings.
In fact, the newcomers were also confused, but they also respected Hart's choice.
Soon, as the choir sang on one side, the wedding officially began.
First, the best man and the bridesmaid entered the room together and stood in two rows on both sides of Xia Ya.
Then, everyone stood up from their positions and faced the aisle together.
Accompanied by the music, Hart slowly entered the stage holding Frena's hand with a smile on his face, his snow-white veil and pure dress dragging on the grass, elegant and holy.
Soon, the bride came to the high platform. After hugging Hart, Frena held Gray's hand and stood still in front of Char.
Xia Ya took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Dear guests, we are gathered here today to attend the wedding of Mr. Gray Haru and Miss Freyna Valentine.
Marriage is the sublimation of love and mutual trust. It requires not only lifelong love from both parties, but also lifelong mutual trust.
Today Mr. Haru and Miss Valentine will solemnly declare their love and trust to each other here.
Xia looked at Gray: "Mr. Haru, are you willing to marry Miss Valentine as your wife?
Whether in good times or bad, rich or poor, in health or sickness, happy or sad, will you love her unreservedly and be loyal to her forever?
Gray looked at her with soft eyes: "I do."
“Then, Miss Valentine, will you marry Mr. Haru and make him your husband?
Will you love him unreservedly and be loyal to him forever, in good times or bad, rich or poor, in health or sickness, happy or sad?
Frena smiled, "I do."
Arthur came over with two rings and stood between the newlyweds.
“Here now are two rings, they are symbols of marriage, their perfect circles represent life and love, a symbol of everlasting love.
Ask both of you to put rings on each other's hands. "
Gray and Frena put the rings on each other. Fortunately, the wedding ring was worn on the ring finger of the left hand, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.
Xia Ya smiled and said, "Okay, from now on, you two are a legal couple."
In fact, Xia Ya has been a witness in the past. After all, when your major is not easy to find a job, you always need to learn more skills.
After the wedding, there was a luncheon, but obviously, Xia Ya had no intention of attending.
The originally serious and sacred singing turned into melodious and cheerful music as the wedding ended, and people danced and sang happily on the lawn.
With cheers, Char took Arthur aside to make some explanations.
"Next, I will block all entrances so that you can no longer find the entrance to the castle."
Arthur was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted in a panic that was almost visible to the naked eye, "Teacher!"
“Because of my existence, no matter what you do, there is no sense of urgency.
Because you always believe that I will definitely protect you in the end.
Being overly dependent on me is not a good thing, Arthur.
You must learn to be independent and self-reliant. "
"But. But" Arthur's eyes were red and his voice was choked, "That's my home."
Although he looks very mature now, he is just a boy of thirteen or fourteen.
"That's your home." Xia said in a soft voice.
"I didn't say you could never go back. At least the fate between us has not come to an end yet."
"Child." Xia Ya's voice was low, "A person always has to experience a lot of partings and growth in his life.
But sometimes, a short separation is for a better encounter.
Think about everything you saw in that slum, think about the father and son. If you want to change everything, you must learn to be independent.
If one day you feel you can bear this fate, you want to meet us.
You go to the imperial capital and go to the Cathedral of Baal.
There you will get all the answers. "
"I don't understand." Arthur said confused.
"When you get there, you'll understand."
Xia Ya whispered softly, and before Arthur came back to his senses, he slowly disappeared in front of him.
