Chapter 531 Something
"Sir Osarino has barely eaten lately and has been having nightmares all the time. He refuses to say anything after waking up... I know what he's dreaming about, so I can't help him. He can only slowly accept it all on his own. He will eventually get back on his feet. I can only pray for him, hoping that day will come sooner."
Maglin was answering Christina's questions about Osarino's recent situation. If someone else asked about this news, she would have replied firmly that she had nothing to say, but as the lord's daughter, Christina certainly had the right to know all this.
"Excuse me, ladies, I have returned your planetary governor." Alex pretended to be surprised and joked with Maglin and Christina, while pushing Osarino in front of them.
As he expected, Magline did not ask any questions about what happened after Osarino left her sight. She just pulled him to her side, put her hands on Osarino's shoulders, and looked at Alex with a little vigilance.
"Uncle Alex." Christina took the initiative to greet Alex. "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Little Princess." Alex also greeted Christina. "The last time we met was two years ago. You've grown quite a bit since then. Congratulations."
Although the Helveticon family has some characteristics of a feudal lord family, it is not a monarchy. Most people would call Christina "Miss" or "Your Excellency" and would never use the title "Princess". Alex calling Christina this is more of a joke to express intimacy, just like Cecil called her Princess not long ago.
Alex soon noticed the awkward gemstone ring on Christina's hand, and then he said, "It seems your style has changed a lot over the years."
"I'm happy to talk to you about what I've been through recently, and I hope that as an elder you can give me some guidance like you did in the past... But before that, I need to tell Osarino something."
"Oh, on the way back, I saw that they actually offer apple peaches. Once this kind of fruit leaves the strict storage environment, even if the temperature is controlled, the taste will deteriorate over time. I..."
Alex obviously took Christina's words as a request for him to avoid her, so he made up an excuse to leave, but Christina stopped him:
"Uncle Alex, if possible, I hope you can be here when I talk about this, because I am a little undecided about this matter now."
So Alex stopped, and although Osarino, the person involved in the incident, said nothing, his eyes and expression proved that his attention had already been focused on this.
After confirming that Alex would not leave, Christina turned to look at Osarino. "Osarino, do you remember five years ago when you and Agatha came to Tessarell for a visit? Your father and mother went to a banquet just like this one, and you, Agatha, and I were left in the guest room. Then you said you wanted to see our family horses, and we ended up riding for the entire afternoon."
Osarino's name is shortened to Osarino, which simplifies the last few words of his name. Generally, only people who are familiar with him will call him that.
When Osarino was reminded of his pleasant and unforgettable past, his eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and said calmly:
"Of course I remember. I remember that before we went horseback riding, you and Agatha said you wanted to change into riding clothes, and you ended up spending a full hour changing clothes."
In fact, Osarino recalled more than just these things. For example, he had been drinking tea and eating snacks out of boredom while waiting. As a result, when the two finally changed their clothes, his stomach was full of tea and he could even hear the sound of water. If his relationship with Christina's family was still the same as it was then, he would choose to tell his little embarrassing stories to make the girl in front of him happy, but now, he can only keep his distance.
Christina, who had entered the working state, of course noticed Osarino's alienation, but at this time she no longer cared about these things because of her work priority, so she threw out the bait: "There was one thing you didn't know at that time, because Agatha asked me to keep it secret from you, but now I think it's time to let you know."
Hearing about the relationship with his sister, Osarino, who had been pretending to be aloof and distant, immediately dropped his disguise. Before Christina could finish her words, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on?! Tell me now!"
"When we were changing clothes, Miss Agatha handed me a small box," Christina said. "She asked me to keep it safe, because it contained something very important. She said she hoped I could give it to you at the right time in the future, but she didn't say when that would be... and I think now is the time."
the other side
Howard took a sip of his baby-grade sparkling wine and briefly outlined the plan he and Christina had agreed upon to Cecil. He then said, "If you don't want to completely lose the child's trust, you'll have to prepare the things Christina mentioned Agatha left behind. To be on the safe side, Christina probably won't tell the child anything specific here, so you have plenty of room to maneuver."
"Then I'll have to think about it carefully." Cecil crossed his fingers and looked at the person in front of him and said, "The thing that Agatha gave Christina five years ago and asked Christina to give to Osarino today must be reasonable enough. A letter? A key? A bow? Do you have any good suggestions?"
"In my opinion, it's unreasonable to pursue rationality when faking something like this," Howard said.
So Cecil stopped talking and looked intently into Howard's eyes. Both of them saw the understanding look in each other's eyes, and then looked away at the same time.
Cecil does not need to prepare anything reasonable for Christina's story, because once this thing is reasonable, there must be a reason to make it reasonable, and once a reason is given, there may be loopholes and it may be falsified and overturned.
Forging a letter and forging the correspondence between the content of the letter and reality is too troublesome and complicated. If Howard really follows his idea, the best option would be to just not put some useless garbage or superficial jewelry in it. Giving a key and not giving any explanation would be the best option.
Without any explanation, Osarino will give meaning to the key himself. He will try to use the key to open all the locks that have meaning. Of course, the result will be that no lock can be opened, but the more he tries, the more meaning he will give to the key. In the end, he would rather suspect that he has missed something than doubt the authenticity of the key.
By doing this, the child's possible spiritual support in the future will become a complete lie, which is too cruel for him.
"Mr. Howard, have you discovered that you are truly gifted in the field of evil?" Cecil said, "But I like it very much."
