【Ji Lai】Afternoon of Shepherd

The person in front of him suddenly mentioned the name of the old man, unexpectedly to Reinhardt.

In Reinhardt's eyes, there were subtle ripples on the ice-blue lake that was originally calm, and his slender fingers involuntarily stretched towards the pendant on his chest.

Between breaths, Siegfried saw the emperor return to his formulaic, inorganic smile, and the water splashes rippling on the lake seemed to have never existed before, "Oh? I became interested in the old Grand Duke Gilfies." He looked at Siegfried with great interest, "However, if you want to know more about the deeds of Grand Duke Gilfies, you can directly refer to relevant documents, or ask those Civil officials who record history, can’t they get more detailed information? Why do you want to ask me?”

Reinhardt's smile at the moment looked perfect and impeccable at first glance. It was a standard attitude towards a wayward courtier with a gentle and tolerant mind.

But this formulaic and skillful smile made Siegfried feel anxious. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of answer he was looking for, he knew that what he wanted was definitely not such a watertight answer.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

"What I want to know, Your Majesty, is everything about you and him that you have personally said."

Wait, Siegfried, a voice in his mind is calling out in panic, this is not in line with your status as a courtier, and it also violates your killer's calmness.But his actions were much faster than his rationality, almost unconsciously, he took a step forward, already hinting at the tendency of pressing questions.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the moment he regained his sanity, he already knew how he had done arrogance.

But he still refused to bow his head.

He looked into the emperor's ice blue eyes without hesitation.

The emperor was not as angry as expected.Still smiling, he put his elbows on the table and supported his chin with his graceful wrist, "Doctor Morrissey, you are really brave, yes, I appreciate brave people..." He He raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly and became narrower and narrower, "... I don't know what you want to know, the relationship between me and him and Grand Duke Gilfies can't be explained clearly in just one or two sentences .But if I sum it up in the shortest way, I think everyone in this empire should understand this fact—the Grand Duke Gilphiais has always been equal to myself.”

Reinhard's tone was obviously softer than before, even if he just mentioned the name Gilfies, he seemed to pour all his existing emotions into it.

Is Gilfies equal to yourself?

What a pure, decisive and possessive statement this is, without hesitation and decisiveness, it set off a storm in Siegfried's heart.He was both sweet that Gilfies and Reinhardt were so close, but also deeply disappointed that the past had definitely been left in his blank memory.He forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and pretended to ask calmly, "Then, if he is not dead..." He corrected in a panic, "I mean, if Grand Duke Gilfies hadn't really passed away, His Majesty would be pleasantly surprised If he is no longer the one who is alive now, what will happen to His Majesty, will he be disappointed by him?"

If there were other people who were familiar with the past between the Grand Duke Gilfies and the emperor, they would definitely be shocked by Siegfried's bold speech.Because every word he mentioned at this moment touched the restricted area that no one dared to set foot in, Emperor Reinhardt.

But what is even more surprising is that Reinhard just looked at Siegfried deeply, and he said slowly, "No matter what happens, I hope that Gilphia will always be there." By my side. My Gilfies is strong, brave, kind, and the best person in the world. No matter what he is now, I will never be disappointed in him...”

At that moment, he took off his mask, and burst into a smile that was as clear and flawless as glass, filling the room with brilliance.

Time seemed to be frozen, and in that incomparable pure smile, the bitterness and blissful heat made Siegfried's vision suddenly blurred.

His undulating heart was surging with a tide that was about to break the embankment, and besides the unspeakable touch, there were also too many emotions mixed.

Before this, he had never seen a person with such strong trust and love for another person. From Reinhardt's unshakable eyes and smile, he was infected with a strong force that could not be broken by any wind and rain. Toughness, courage and strength.

And the person Reinhard loved, that person named Siegfried Gilfies—maybe it was his former self, how jealous he is now.

The beauty that is clearer than crystal and the deep love that is as permanent as a diamond belong to him alone.

Siegfried Gilfies, the more radiant he is, the more eclipsed he is now.

He has the luck that no one in the world can match, and he, who cannot be compared with him, can only steal a little bit of what he has from him now.

So, Siegfried moved at that moment.

He raised his hand subconsciously, he wanted to caress the pair of eyes staring at him quietly in front of him, shining with light but separated by transparent mist.

Everything that happened was like looking at flowers through a fog, and Siegfried couldn't interpret it.

He didn't know whether he couldn't bear to comfort him because of the expectation, patience, anxiety, and sourness that flashed in those eyes, or whether he wanted to touch him simply because of the impulse from the depths of his soul. he……

It's like some strong emotion needs to be vented through this outlet, maybe as long as he stretches out his hand, he can touch the essence of what he wants.

What he wanted was only a few centimeters away from his raised fingertips.

However, before his rationality lost control, his hand dropped, and it seemed that he never lifted it.

At the same time, the transparent mist from Reinhard's ice-blue eyes disappeared, the blond emperor smiled slightly, the stagnant air flowed again, and everything returned to normal.

The blond emperor still remained gentle, but those personal emotions were nowhere to be found, and he turned back into a half-human, half-god monarch.

"Doctor Morrissey, are you satisfied with my answer? Do you have any questions?"

"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's answer is far beyond my imagination, thank you for your kindness." Siegfried sincerely clenched his right hand in front of his chest, and bowed to return his respect to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Although courage is commendable, it may lead to danger if you are too curious." Reinhardt brushed his golden forehead hair, "I hope you remember, don't go too deep into everything, some things are not right now You need to know."

Siegfried hesitated to leave, but saw that the emperor had casually picked up the top page of the stack of official documents and looked at it. He had to say, "Yes, Your Majesty, if you are fine, I will go first." Retire."

Suddenly, the emperor seemed to think of something, a strange light danced in his eyes, his eyes were still on the official document, and he seemed a little careless, "Wait, now there are only you and me in this government office. No weapons or guards, Doctor Morrissey, what do you think?"

He raised his head suddenly, and stared firmly at Siegfried, as if there was a compelling lightning in his eyes.

Is he implying something?Siegfried was furious, he avoided looking at the emperor, lowered his head, "I'm just a doctor, Your Majesty, I don't understand these things. According to my shallow knowledge, I can only understand, maybe Your Majesty is trying to imply that the security system It needs to be strengthened."

"Indeed, Dr. Morrissey, your judgment is very accurate." Reinhardt tapped his fingers on the table lightly, his moving voice was even more gorgeous because he deliberately lowered it, "By the way, there is one more thing, I heard that Qing is not in good health. Is there some small problem? Since Qing has joined the Feisha Imperial Medical Research Center, the general diagnosis and treatment will be carried out in the research center in the future. If necessary, I can help you Contact the previous treatment center to retrieve the medical records. From my point of view, Qing’s previous treatment center does not need to go again.”

The emperor said it quite lightly, but those contents were more accurate than a sniper rifle, instantly piercing through Siegfried's neural network.In an instant, his fingers trembled slightly. His body has spontaneously recalled the severe pain during the forced hypnosis and brainwashing process in the treatment center of the Earth Sect. The bewilderment of having nothing to rely on... and the deep loss of the lost past now that I know who I used to be.

So now, what does the emperor mean by mentioning this matter?

Is it to imply to myself that the other party cares more about me than I imagined?Or tell yourself clearly that the other party is also clear about everything about you?

Siegfried forcibly suppressed the violent waves surging in his heart, and remained calm on the surface.

"Of course, Your Majesty." His voice trembled slightly.

He saw the emperor's eyes staring at him for a moment, as inclusive as the faint ocean, and firmer than the standing mountains.

Thinking back carefully, from the very beginning, it was too easy for him to enter the palace so smoothly and stay by the emperor's side.This is not just the luck to stand out from the thousands of people. The emperor's silent connivance to him from the beginning to the end, as well as the various hints in the emperor's words now, all made Siegfried deeply confirm that all of these are the source of The emperor's arrangement also confirmed the correctness of his speculation about his original identity.

He is Siegfried Gilfies, and Siegfried Gilfies is him.

As if in an incomparably wonderful dream, Siegfried has never imagined this extravagantly—it turns out that he is not unrelated to the person he was thinking about for the first time after losing his memory, but they are so close and intimate.

He has come a long way from being blank about the past to gradually finding his former self. He has doubted many people and many things. After Du Du learned about Gilfies, he never doubted the emperor's determination to keep "Gilfies" by his side.

In his limited memory, he has never seen such a firm, fearless, and wise person with eyes.

The emperor's eyes are deep and far away, and he overlooks the whole universe on his wings.Everything that happens in the universe is probably under his control, and he, as a speck of dust in the universe, is naturally no exception.

Although it is not clear why Reinhardt started to notice the current self and became suspicious, and started a follow-up investigation, but at least he can be sure that at this stage, he should already know everything about himself.

It just seemed that he didn't intend to recognize him in a short time.

Maybe it's because he just wants to test himself who has lost his memory; maybe he perceives the seriousness of his illness and doesn't want to worry about him; maybe he's planning something more profound than personal emotions.

That being the case, then all I can do is to do my best to cooperate with him.

Siegfried couldn't help laughing, and went round and round in the silent river of time. It didn't make any difference whether he had memory or not, and he would love the same person after all.

After Ziegfei resigned to the emperor, he looked back with nostalgia at the gate of the government office that separated him and Reinhardt into two worlds.

Oberstein, the military minister with half-white hair, happened to walk in front of him through the corridor, and Siegfried couldn't be sure if he came looking for him on purpose.

The Minister of Military Affairs stared at him up and down for a few seconds, his prosthetic eyes flashing red.

"Doctor Morrissey, thank you for your contribution to His Majesty the Emperor during this time. I hope that you will continue to be loyal in the future and serve the Emperor with all your strength. At the same time, please take good care of yourself."

After he finished speaking, he gave Siegfried a meaningful look.

Siegfried looked at him suspiciously, not sure how much Oberstein knew about himself, nor the deep meaning hidden in his words.He smiled formulaically at the Minister of Military Affairs, and replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, and please take care of it, Your Excellency."
