Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 537: Chapter 394: Both Ends of Mind Talk_1

Gently patting the constantly trembling shoulders of Beren for reassurance, Leo Ray sat back on the leather sofa, continuing to listen to what the mind talk was transmitting.

“Regardless, I couldn’t even protect my own hometown, what’s praiseworthy about the old man fighting for Coldflame for decades?”

At the other end of the mind talk, sounds of the aged voice could be heard, Burt continued to speak: “Thus,

Like what I mentioned earlier, I am just a complete failure.”

“Burt elder, you mustn’t belittle yourself, if I’m not mistaken.”

“Back then, the death of Earl Rein didn’t seem to be an accident, right?” Shortly thereafter, the clear voice of Joshua was transmitted into the ears of Leo Ray and others.

“That’s right, three years later when the storm had completely settled down, I personally killed that guy Rein.”

Then, Burt’s unstinting old voice sounded again: “In this way, I have finally avenged my family’s grievance.”

“From what I understand, Rein was infamously notorious back in the day.”

“He utilized his noble status and the rights of being a Kingdom General and carried out numerous acts of oppressing the weak and innocent.”

“Therefore, emotionally and rationally, elder, what you did was absolutely correct.” From the other end, Joshua’s approving voice came through.

At this point, Joshua paused for a moment, then softly asked: “Elder Burt, do you want to return to your homeland Crystal Kingdom, or see your brother Beren again?”

After being silent for a moment, Burt replied: “I do want to, of course, it’s been thirty years, and although I have not seen my brother Beren again.

The excited and amazed expressions he had when he listened to my war stories back then.

They still often appear in my mind and I cannot forget them.”

Sighing heavily, Burt continued: “But, even though I fear nothing on the battlefield.

I never dared to return to the Crystal Kingdom, nor face Beren again.

The look of anger mingled with confusion and hesitation that he had in his eyes when we parted, is still vivid in my memory.

Maybe, that will become a knot in my heart and a regret that I can’t untie in my lifetime.”

“Elder Burt, don’t be too upset, maybe it won’t be long before you two brothers will meet again.” With a clear voice, Joshua comforted.

“If there really is such a day, I could die with no regrets…”

After finishing his words, both of them fell into silence again.

“Joshua, well done, I will contact you again if something comes up.”

After finishing what he had to say, Leo Ray ended the mind talk from the distant other end.

For a moment, the vast VIP lounge also fell into silence.

At this moment, Beren was still shaking slightly because of excitement even under the comfort of Celia.

After a while, Beren took a deep breath and finally spoke again: “I never expected.

After all these years, my brother kept thinking about the Crystal Kingdom and me…”

At this point, Beren stood up from his seat and bowed to Leo Ray: “Thank you Lord for letting me know the truth about what happened that year!”

“There’s no need for formalities.” Leo Ray gestured for the elderly man in front of him to sit down, immediately speaking: “Archduke Beren,

After all these years, you should have guessed Burt’s intentions all those years ago, shouldn’t you?”

“Lord, it is indeed so.”

Sitting back down in his seat, Beren took a sip of tea and then replied: “When Burt was first banished from here,

I was indeed confused and held a grudge against him in my heart for the first few years.

But as I took the position as the new Crystal Archduke,

With more experience and maturity, I gradually realized that Burt might have been stuck in a predicament all those years ago.

However, in my heart, I stubbornly believed

That it was just my wishful thinking and I categorized myself as the one who is supposed to accept the apology, not the one who owes the apology.”

At this point, the wrinkles on Beren’s aged face deepened. He continued: “Under this conflicting state of mind, I have always been hoping in my heart

That one day, Burt could return to the Crystal Kingdom to explain everything to me, perhaps I will forgive him then.

However, through the words of Burt just now, I finally understood,

The burden that Burt had been carrying on his shoulders all these years was far heavier than mine.

Perhaps, the person who really needs to apologize, is not Burt, but the stubborn me.”

At these words, Beren’s robust body began to shake uncontrollably again, his face fully stricken with sadness.

“Archduke Beren, you shouldn’t be too upset, Burt is currently in Cyan Town, and you two brothers still have a long way ahead.”

Patting Beren gently on the shoulder again, Leo Ray smiled: “Let’s take a trip back to Cyan Town together later.”

“Yes, sir! I had just been thinking the same!” Upon hearing this, Beren quickly stood up, his face full of gratitude.

“Alright, go prepare, we will set off in a while.” Nodding at Beren, Leo Ray immediately spoke.

“Yes, Lord!” At his words, Beren and Celia bowed and hastily set off to prepare.
