Chapter 38
Chapter 38: The Siscon Parsifal
***
The Gate of Truth… The description of them in the book is similar to what Carlos told me. The flames of sin, the power of blood sacrifice. However, they were actually people who split from the Church.
“By the way Peipei, why are you a Pontifical Knight? Honestly, I’ve been thinking about this all day, it doesn’t make sense, you’re not lying to me, are you?”
I took another small bite of the donut, slowly savoring the rich aroma in my mouth, focused and staring straight ahead.
The next paragraph in the book reads:
[The Gate of Truth sacrifices their brethren and even their own flesh to demons, to bring forth the Goddess of Sin’s flames of karma, constantly deepening their sins, in exchange for power that rivals divine miracles……]
“Peipei, talk to me, reading is so boring~ What have you been doing these past few years? Ah sorry, I forgot you don’t remember, I’m sorry.”
I ignored it completely, totally undisturbed by the external fly, and continued reading.
[Power that rivals divine miracles……]
“Hey, do you remember when we secretly went to the snowy mountain to catch silver foxes when we were little? The small one behind the castle. My big brother and I said there weren’t any, but you insisted there were. As a result, the three of us went up and were shivering from the cold, waited for ages without seeing even a shadow, and on the way back you fell into an ice hole, crying loudly, haha, fortunately it wasn’t very deep……”
[Divine miracles……]
“Peipei——”
“Huff——”
Snap!
Closing the book and lifting my head, I took a deep breath and gave Parsifal a bright smile.
“Parsifal.”
Parsifal was sitting on my bed with his legs crossed, resting his head while looking at me. Probably seeing that I had finally put down the book and was going to pay attention to him, his expression looked quite happy.
“Peipei, you’re not reading anymore.”
Reading?
With you, this noisy, annoying, irritating fellow buzzing, buzzing, buzzing in my ear non-stop, how can I read?
Taking a sip of milk to suppress the emotions in my heart, trying to make my expression look a bit more friendly.
Just right, I have a pleasant thought in mind, so I won’t get angry with you first. Besides, getting angry all the time isn’t good for the skin, and it will cause wrinkles over time.
“Mm, let’s… talk.”
Hearing me say this, Parsifal immediately sat up straight, his expression becoming even happier.
“Oh oh! Talk about what?”
I almost sprayed milk in his face.
You’re asking me what to talk about? Where did all that nonsense from earlier go, really, what kind of person is this.
After pondering briefly, I opened my mouth and asked him: “Parsifal, what do you… consider me as?”
“Uh, what do you mean?”
Parsifal’s eyes paused, showing some confusion, seemingly not understanding my meaning.
I tilted my head and thought again, then changed the way I asked.
“What are you… to me?”
“I’m your brother, your second brother!” His tone suddenly became elevated, so excited he didn’t know where to put his hands, “Peipei, do you really not remember anything? Look at me, I’m Parsifal, your family! You also have a big brother who always has a sullen face, he’s called Lafayette, your mother is Catherine Wintermoon, your father……”
“Stop!” I hurriedly interrupted him, “A brother, how should he treat… his sister?”
There was no special meaning in asking this question, just wanted to see his attitude first.
“Peipei, you acknowledge that I’m your bro……”
“I haven’t… said anything, answer the… question first.”
Hearing this, Parsifal immediately raised his hand, with a serious expression making an oath: “As a qualified brother, I, Parsifal, must be good to my sister, must listen to everything my sister says. Can’t deceive her, can’t be fierce to her, must share fun things with her, must think of her first when there are delicious things, if she’s sad then must comfort her until she’s happy, if she’s happy then make her even happier, because sister is always the cutest!”
He said this series of words very smoothly, almost without pause like reciting a lesson, as skillfully as if he had been brainwashed.
I looked at Parsifal before me with amazed eyes, suddenly not knowing what to say, his excellence interrupted my following train of thought.
Don’t know how to describe the feeling.
This…… has he been trained like this before?
This Peylo person, not simple at all.
“What’s wrong, Peipei. Did I say something wrong?”
Seeing me staring at him blankly, Parsifal was somewhat puzzled.
“Um, no. Let me… think, what was I… going to say……”
It took a while before I remembered what I wanted to say.
“Then, what if someone… bullies her?”
“Then I’ll beat them until they’re picking up their teeth from the ground…… no, Peipei. What do you mean by this question?” Parsifal was startled, “Did someone bully you!?”
Got him!
“Mm.” I nodded pretending to be aggrieved, blinking my autumn water-like eyes while looking at him.
Looking at me made Parsifal’s heart melt.
“Who! Tell me Peipei, is it that bastard Crown Prince! F**k, daring to bully my sister, just you wait, don’t let me see him again!”
That grinding teeth, face full of deep hatred appearance, it’s not hard to guess he must have had quite a few conflicts with that Crown Prince before.
But this isn’t the result I want, so I immediately shook my head.
“Not him. It’s, the bearded… swordsman with me.”
“Bearded swordsman? That man with stubble all over his face this morning, looking somewhat lacking in vigor?”
Pfft, lacking in vigor…… Although Carlos does indeed look not very energetic, but to be described as lacking in vigor……
I quickly lowered my head to hide my amusement.
“Mm.”
“How did he bully you!”
Very good, this is exactly the attitude I want.
So I began counting on my fingers with a serious face.
“He, mocked me, said I’m stupid.”
Parsifal’s face turned stern.
“Drew on, my face.”
Parsifal glared angrily with widened eyes.
“Made my pie, fall… on the ground.”
Parsifal’s face tightened, his body straightened, his eyes becoming evasive.
“Deliberately messed up, my hair.”
Parsifal showed an angry expression again.
“He also, peeked under my…… my skirt, and bragged about it, telling me the… color.”
After the last sentence was said, Parsifal’s face quickly turned bright red.
“How dare he!” He suddenly stood up, “This guy, actually…… actually…… actually dared to humiliate my sister like this, bastard! I want to cut him into thousands of pieces, dismember him into ten thousand pieces, damn it! Shameless fellow, even I haven’t seen… so envious……”
My eyes flashed, slowly narrowing.
“Ah no, I mean, this guy is too hateful! Um, it’s really making me furious!”
“I, I’m afraid of him.” I lowered my head and covered my cheeks with my hands, then while he wasn’t paying attention, secretly smeared some saliva on my face, when I raised my head again it was already a teary-eyed little appearance.
Sure enough, seeing me like this, Parsifal immediately became anxious.
“I got it, Peipei, don’t cry! Brother will avenge you, tell me, what do you want to do to him?”
“Can you, not let him… come in…… I’m afraid, he’ll do… excessive things to me. sob sob sob”
“Okay, then how about this Peipei, tonight, just sleep peacefully, I won’t go anywhere either, I’ll guard your room. If he dares to come in and bully you, I’ll beat him to death!”
My expression changed, for a moment even forgetting to pretend crying.
“Ahem, no. Can you, not let him into… Shanter Castle? Just thinking about, him living so… close to me, I’m scared.”
“Not letting him into the castle?” Parsifal suddenly became troubled, walking back and forth in the room with a worried expression, “But he’s the old man’s guest after all, don’t know what his identity is, is it not quite appropriate to do this……”
Not good, feels like this fellow wants to back out, wouldn’t that mean I wasted all my expressions? Acting is very tiring, okay.
Looks like I need to put in more effort.
I searched for the feeling, putting on a helpless maiden pose, saying in as weak a voice as possible: “Feel like, he’ll be back… very soon…… I’m scared.”
“Then, what do you think we should do……” Seeing my appearance, Parsifal was in a dilemma, hesitated for a while and finally gritted his teeth, “Then how about this, tonight brother will guard the castle gate with the hunters, guarantee won’t let him in, how’s that? You just sleep soundly, don’t think too much, okay?”
“Is this… okay?”
“It’s fine, who made you Parsifal’s sister. The hunters don’t dare stop him, but I dare, you can rest assured.”
After being troubled for a while, I finally nodded.
“Then… alright.”
Parsifal smiled.
“Good, I’ll go over now, you rest well.”
“Mm.” I also gave him a sweet smile.
“I’m going.”
“Thanks for… the bracelet.”
“Ah ah, no need to be polite with your brother.”
Parsifal scratched his head and quickly walked out of the room.
Click, the door closed.
Hehe.
The annoying fellow finally left, so tiring.
Wonder if Carlos will come back tonight……
Let’s continue reading.
