I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 963

The next day at noon, the Duke opened his eyes in his room, his eyeballs shrank and his expression was terrified, as if he had had an unforgettable nightmare.

His body was soaked with cold sweat, his clothes and hair were all sweaty, his whole body was sore and his head was aching, his body felt like it was about to fall apart and was very uncomfortable.

"I... what is this?"

Touching his heavy head, the Duke tried to recall what happened last night, but his head was like a mess, and there was really no way to sort out his thoughts in a short time.

"Oh... right... I"

"Are you awake, old man?"

Countless images flashed through his mind. Just as he was about to think of something, someone's voice came from the side. He turned around and saw Serita sitting on a chair with her arms folded across her chest and legs crossed.

"You are..."

"Huh? In the end, you forgot me? You are a really bad father."

It has been too long since she had a face-to-face communication with her biological father. Serita has forgotten how to communicate with her own father. When she opened her mouth, she almost criticized.

"Selita... is that you? Selita?!"

The Duke was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted. The person sitting in front of him was none other than his beloved daughter.

Of course, for Selita, she didn't think that the man in front of her was worried about her, and even had a very low impression of her.

Seeing that his daughter finally appeared in front of him, the Duke subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but Selita subconsciously avoided it. She didn't want to have too much contact with her father because there was not much communication before.

Such behavior undoubtedly hurt the Duke. Being so alienated by his own daughter, he, as a father, naturally felt a little sad.

But the Duke didn't have any emotions. He carefully recalled the past memories. After all, everything that happened when he was manipulated was what he actually experienced. He could naturally remember it without any additional damage to his brain.

This process takes some time, but it is not something that can be recovered in a short time, but it only takes a little time to calm down and he can understand that he has done a lot of things that are sorry for Selita and his daughter.

The Duke was a little embarrassed when he thought about it. He didn't know how to face his daughter. The two of them didn't even know how to look at each other. The whole room was filled with an extremely awkward atmosphere.

Squeak~!

"Miss...Ah, Lord Duke, are you awake?"

Just then, the door of the Duke's room was opened. The Grand Knight appeared and wanted to find Serita as soon as possible. As a result, he saw the Duke who had woken up.

"Ah...It's Joey. It seems that you are not in trouble. This is really great."

Seeing that Joey looked very healthy, the Duke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although so many bad things happened, nothing happened to his confidants around him. This was a blessing in disguise.

"That...Miss, it's time for dinner. Elena and the others are probably waiting for you."

Joey could only say that he was worthy of being a person who had been in such occasions for many years. He could see at a glance that the atmosphere between the father and daughter in the room was very awkward, and quickly found an excuse to let Serita leave.

Serita couldn't stand this atmosphere any longer, so she walked down the stairs and left the room without looking back.

The Duke looked at Serita's back and wanted to keep her, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. After all, he didn't know what to say.

Soon Serita disappeared in the room, leaving only the two men looking at each other. Looking at each other's slightly vicissitudes of life, both of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Joey... So what happened? Although I can barely remember some things, I can't remember exactly what happened."

The Duke could only focus on Joey. It was too slow to recall by himself. If someone explained it to him, he would remember it faster.

Joey sighed, pulled a new chair and sat down, telling the Duke everything that happened before Serita came back.

The Duke's face changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to collapse. Everything he had done before was too abominable just for him to hear.

If he could travel back in time, the Duke would probably punch him in the face without hesitation. To say that he was worse than an animal was already a mild punishment. How could a human being do such a thing?

"Your Excellency the Duke, you don't have to blame yourself... There is nothing we can do about it.You and I were both controlled. We did things against our will under that hateful woman. Even our cognition was changed by her. We did those things because we couldn't control ourselves. "

Seeing the Duke's look, Joey quickly explained and comforted him. Strictly speaking, they really couldn't be blamed. It was all Pandora's fault.

When the Duke mentioned Pandora, he couldn't help but retching, and Joey hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

In the Duke's limited memory, what happened between him and Pandora was more than just a simple father-daughter game. When he thought that Pandora's body was actually a worm mother, he felt sick all over.

"Even if we were forced, Serita... my daughter's injury was real. We have shown an indifferent look these days. She must hate us in her heart. But at the same time, she is also a sensible child and understands our difficulties, so she didn't tear her face with us in the end. ”

The Duke’s thoughts were still clear after he returned to normal. He also understood his daughter quite well and analyzed Serita’s mental journey at once.

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Ah… no, I’m just curious, Lord Duke, you seem to have changed into a different person. In my impression, you would not say such a thing.”

Joey was stunned for a moment, and the Duke could not help asking before he realized it.

In his impression, the Duke, who had always been obsessed with work, would not say such a thing, but now the Duke seemed to have changed into a different person, making him feel a little strange.

“Joey… Anyone would be like this. With so many things happening, everyone would change. And if I don’t change, and I still have that wooden head to get along with Serita, I’m afraid I will never have to listen to her calling me father in my life.”

The Duke said somewhat embarrassedly. He was not the kind of rotten wood that could not be carved, and he still understood the principles that he should understand.
