Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Clash of Emotions
a person's tears.
It's an extraordinary component to look. The older you get, the more so.
guys are socially conditioned not to shed tears.
It's a unprecedented issue to peer in a normal circle of relatives home, however now not in Baskerville, wherein the iron-blooded sword is a thing of the beyond.
Iron blood boiling in the heart of a furnace. A Swordmaster without human emotion.
Hugo Les Baskerville, the iron-blooded swordsman of Baskerville.
Tears are not the word to describe him.
A needle in his eye could make him bleed, however now not tears.
So Vikir became surprised this morning when he saw Hugo crying.
...So surprised, certainly.
In an age of destruction, thru a devastating decade of battle, he ought to think of few times whilst he were so amazed.
And so Vikir notion.
'There can be no greater surprises.'
I've visible Hugo cry, what greater surprises can there be?
Vikir notion.
...however.
Vikir needed to be surprised once more, even more so than when Hugo cried in advance.
"alas, peek-a-boo!"
In the front of him now turned into a Pomeranian sitting awkwardly.
And the Pomerian is sitting on a person's lap, and the one who is attempting to make the Pomerianan snicker with this silly funny story... ... as soon as... ... .
'I hate to admit it, but that's Hugo Les Baskerville.'
Vikir placed a hand to his brow.
'it's miles indeed Hugo the Ironblade, Lord of Baskerville, who now has Pomeranian in his lap and is making a daft face together with his fingers, tongue, and eyes.'
character Breakdown. It's as though all of the common sense Vikir has ever possessed has come crashing down.
He's shocked, and so is every person else in Baskerville once they hear the communique between Hugo and Pomeranian.
"???"
"????"
just as Butler Barrymore and Osiris Baskerville, now status beside Vikir, are open-mouthed.
Vikir even notion to himself.
'Has he been brainwashed through demons?'
however irrespective of, Hugo remains his common self.
"Uh heh heh, do you locate this grandfather's mustache strange? Is it amusing to tug? Now, there is this one too."
"Moustache... grimy...."
"Hmm? Heh heh heh – dirty! This antique guy constantly shampoos and rinses his mustache. nowadays, I did a special essence due to the fact you had been coming."
"installment... mustache... select it off...."
"Hmmm? The installment? Ohhh! yes, sure, sure, it's Grandpa! Do you need to call me that again? Hehe, I'm your grandfather."
It become a roundabout manner of pronouncing it. Hugo's reaction turned into by no means what Vikir had anticipated.
"where did this come from?
Vikir recalled a second in time.
Hugo looked at the Pomeranian with that equal trembling look in his eyes.
'This, this, this infant, is this truly Penelope's baby?'
'it's miles. The darkish hair and crimson eyes are feature of Baskerville; and, judging through the portrait, she bears a hanging resemblance to Roxana the primary female, and also to Penelope's sister....'
'not a lot as a resemblance, I, I concept Penelope was alive and nicely, no way!'
Pomeranian's complete body proved that she turned into Penelope's baby.
The tiny mole on the nape of his neck and the blue stain on his calf have been physical capabilities that Hugo additionally had.
What's greater, the Pomeranian turned into observed among the Rococo tribe that had taken Penelope, and he even had a pendant that Hugo had made himself.
She additionally remembered her mother, Penelope, pretty genuinely.
"Mommy... become always glad... laughed nicely...."
Hugo laughed and cried at the equal time.
From what he heard, Penelope have to have had a outstanding life.
"sure, Mama... is always behind on her installments... and he or she's sick of seeing them, however she's attempted to move lower back so many times, she will be able to't... Madame Depht... won't allow us to enter her territory."
Hugo scratched his head.
The Pomeranian spoke nicely for a 5-yr-antique, but he nevertheless didn't completely recognize.
That's while Vikir, who had spent two years inside the depht, helped translate.
"Sister Penelope says she's always ignored you, and that she's tried to go back to the extended family several instances, however has been unsuccessful because a effective demon's territory blocks the center of her direction."
"What! Are you pronouncing that it was a demon that separated me from my daughter?"
"sure, it become a risky creature referred to as the Depht Nightmare, and now i have killed it."
Hugo admired Vikir's words.
"properly completed. you've got avenged me in which I could not. well achieved, properly carried out."
You get what you deserve. Hugo hadn't lost his Baskerville hues.
subsequently, Hugo turned his head in the direction of Vikir.
His eyes have been pink with moisture.
"I'm satisfied to listen of my daughter's last days, and that they have been happy of their own manner. I don't know if I'll ever have a higher day in the relaxation of my life, particularly now that i've the granddaughter she left in the back of."
praise. This expression of severe joy from Hugo's mouth greatly surprised both Barrymore and Osiris.
Even Osiris, who, like Hugo, not often shows emotion, become greatly surprised to look his mouth open and his eyes extensive.
Then. Hugo strode over, cradling the Pomeranian in his palms, and stood in front of Vikir.
Vikir instinctively cowered, equipped to fight lower back.
however contrary to Vikir's instincts, Hugo stopped in his tracks.
after which.
"thank you, son."
Hugo bowed his head to Vikir. His back bent 90 stages.
Barrymore and Osiris' mouths dropped open again at the remarkable sight.
After some moments of silence, Osiris stammered.
"It's a short life, however... ... Of all of the moments of my life, these days will be the most first rate."
"i've lived pretty a long term, however... I assume so too, Lord."
Barrymore responded, slightly capable of circulate his mouth.
Then, Osiris's gaze fell upon Hugo.
dad and mom are mirrors of their kids, and kids are mirrors in their dad and mom.
Up until this factor, Osiris had constantly tried to mirror Hugo's stoic and cold demeanor.
He'd killed his feelings and suppressed his ego as lots as viable.
From the smallest choice to eat something tasty to painstakingly turning faraway from the lady he become drawn to, it become a quest that bordered on self-abuse.
but. these days, Osiris's emotions about Hugo have modified barely.
"i wonder if my father turned into like that."
meaning he has a facet like that too.
And Osiris had found out a lesson these days.
He didn't should suppress the clumsy warm temperature inside him a lot.
'Can't I be a bit little bit of what I want to be?'
You don't ought to try and be ideal.
The humanity that comes from a bit flaw, a touch imperfection, is sufficient to make even my cold father smile.
"...."
Osiris mirrored his father's face as he smiled extensively on the Pomeranian.
Barrymore, who was standing subsequent to him, become bowled over to look Osiris' face.
'My God, he's smiling! He's smiling!'
Even Barrymore, the butler, had never visible Osiris chuckle so without difficulty in his lifestyles.
clearly, the butler's face lighting up when he sees his master and little master guffawing.
there has been a breeze in Baskerville that hadn't been felt in a long term.
... just then.
A voice wiped the smiles from Hugo's, Osiris', and Barrymore's faces.
"i've a phrase with you, Father."
It became Vikir.
Vikir. unexpectedly, the environment cleared.
As Vikir opened his mouth, each Hugo and Osiris grew to become to examine him with critical expressions.
the only who had brought them this first rate happiness.
Their gazes in the direction of the stomach of the own family have been grave, but they have been also filled with simple favor and gratitude.
Hugo quick understood Vikir's reason.
"Oh, yes. The praise."
The reward have to be clear. That turned into Hugo's principle.
You've found Penelope, you've avenged her through killing a demonic creature, and also you've rescued a granddaughter you didn't even realize existed.
those deeds are unspeakable.
Hugo nodded, geared up to pay attention to something Vikir had to say.
Beside him, Osiris did the same.
"tell me what you need, son."
"some thing i can do to help, brother."
Vikir nodded.
Now that matters had long past so well, it changed into time to set his attractions on the give up goal.
earlier than heading to the Academy, there was some thing he wished to take care of in the circle of relatives.
it is revenge for the depressing end before the go back. And it changed into step one to prevent the age of destruction that became about to unfold.
"There's a demon I'd want to hunt."
"...?"
"a very dangerous one."
"...!"
Hugo and Osiris' faces hardened as they heard Vikir's words.
They had been the iron-blooded swords of Baskerville, the grasp and younger grasp, the swords of the Empire, combating demons.
Hugo asked.
"What kind of demons?"
"in case you're asking what sort of demons, I don't recognise precisely. however...."
"just?"
Osiris requested, this time.
Vikir answered tersely.
"I handiest recognize the region of wherein they're hiding."
At that, Hugo and Osiris nodded in unison.
"yes. And what is that place?"
Vikir spoke back as if he had been waiting.
"in the family property."
"...!"
the 2 men's eyes widened.
At this factor, Vikir advised them what he truly desired.
"half of an afternoon. I need to borrow the Seven Knights of Baskerville for half an afternoon."
1/2 the electricity of the Baskervilles.
A single susceptible kingdom can be wiped off the map in a day.
