What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 268-267- Heart knot
"That's probably what happened..."

Aurora confessed everything to Iggy, including her origins.

Iggy was silent, and after a moment he said:

"In other words, it was Death Omen that attached your soul to the original Aurora and replaced her?"

Aurora nodded with a complicated expression.

But Duomi corrected her: "That is indeed true, but at that time, the original Aurora was already dead."

"Dead...what do you mean?!"

Iggy's eyes suddenly widened. Even Aurora knew this for the first time and was also shocked.

"You must be familiar with the forest next to Yaletta. Before I possessed Aurora's soul into the original Aurora, she went to that forest alone, carrying a basket, which seemed to be To collect medicine."

Speaking of collecting herbs, the memory sleeping in Iggy's mind suddenly felt a stab of pain, as if he remembered something, and it felt like everything was shrouded in fog at that time.

"It seems you still remember this." Duomi continued.

"The required medicinal materials were indeed collected, but it took a long time. It was almost evening by the time she was about to leave."

"A group of forest wolves targeted her..."

Iggy suddenly looked up at Domi, but could only see the cold mask and the expressionless eyes behind the mask.

"At that time, Aurora could barely resist for a while, but she soon fell into the siege of wolves. They tore at Aurora's body, biting off her neck, eyeballs, and even all the edible flesh and blood alive. , chewed, and then swallowed it into the stomach, the grass was soaked with blood..."

"do not talk!!!"

Iggy shed tears and held his head in pain. Aurora, who was kneeling in front of him, also looked worried, fearing that something had happened to Iggy.

But Domi has no idea of ​​stopping yet:
"When people learned that the girl adopted by blacksmith Iggy was missing and went to the forest to search, it was already too late. People found Aurora's bones in that place, with even the flesh on her face gnawed away, and the dark eye sockets. Look at the sky like this."

"Poor Aurora, she obviously wanted to collect herbs to treat lumbar disc herniation for her beloved Uncle Iggy, but she didn't expect to end up like this..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

Iggy seemed to be in a state of deep sadness and regret.

"After that, I discovered her, then reshaped her body, gave her a new soul, and modified the memories of everyone who knew about it. Only then did Aurora Shikodi... Mnemosyne can appear before you again."

"It's you who should be grateful."

"Sir..." Aurora stopped Domi from continuing.

Domi closed his mouth at the right time, and then left the tree house. He stood outside and leaned against the door, watching the scenery and listening to the movement inside the door. It was time to give Aurora and her last 'relatives' private space.

"Uncle Iggy..."

Aurora looked at Iggy who was in such pain, and sadness arose spontaneously from her heart. She just didn't know whether it was the instinctive reaction of this body, or whether it was just like this.

"Aurora...Aurora!"

Iggy leaned forward and hugged his daughter tightly.

Crying:
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I was busy working and didn't notice your thoughts. If I could have known earlier, I would never have let you go to the forest alone! I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your biological parents!"

Aurora didn't know what to say, so she could only gently pat Iggy's broad but hunched back.

"If... you want to leave here, then go, you must experience your own life.

Eat well, sleep well, don’t work all day... Come back when you want to come back, uncle will prepare delicious food for you..."

Aurora could hardly believe what Iggy said. "But, I'm not the real Aurora, how could I..."

She looked at the family photo on the dressing table. The real Aurora was in the photo.

Iggy let go of his embrace, wiped away his tears, and looked at the girl in front of him:
"It was you who let me see what Aurora will look like when she grows up. If that child is still alive, she will definitely become a kind person like you."

"Besides, doesn't it already explain everything that you will kneel in front of me?"

"From now on, please be the real you."

"You may have a new destination in the future, but this will always be your home."

"Uncle Iggy!!"

Aurora rushed forward and hugged Iggy again.

Duomi, who was outside the door, also showed a happy smile, and then left the tree house, letting the father and daughter spend the last night together at this stage.
-
Early the next morning, the warm winter sun shined on Aurora's face through the tree hole. She rubbed her groggy eyes and sat up. Her long golden hair was fluffy and messy.

She subconsciously looked at the ground next to the bed, and the memories of last night gradually came back to her.

Iggy made a bed on the floor last night and slept directly here, but when she got up, Iggy had already packed everything up and left, leaving only a message on the dressing table——

The still immature bird will one day fly to a wider world. Let's go. Aurora, my daughter, now that you have made a decision, don't look back.

In addition, you don’t need to come to me, old man, I have already gone out to buy steel, so there is no need to worry about it.

Iggy.

The paper shone in the sunlight. Aurora put it in her heart, then carefully folded it and took it with her.

When she is confused one day, maybe this is the light that guides her.

"That's right, my lord!"

Aurora suddenly panicked. She actually left Duomi aside!He even slept on his own!
"Ah...what on earth am I doing..."

She rubbed her hair in frustration.

But at this moment there was a knock on the door, one long and two short.

She opened the door, only to find that Duomi was back, holding a big bag in his hand.

"Just wake up and eat breakfast first."

"Ah...Sir...I..."

"I understand, there is no need to blame yourself. Besides, I have already made arrangements for the Puppet King. I guess I can see it later."

"I would like to visit Yaleta during the rest of my stay. I wonder if Miss would be interested in being my guide?"

Duomi said with a half-smile.

But I have to say that Domi, who is getting taller and more handsome, can really make girls irresistible when he talks like this.

Aurora understood that Domi wanted her to relax, so she gratefully agreed.

But when they finished breakfast and were about to go out, Domi brought Aurora in disguise to the central square of the royal city.

At this time, there was a dense flow of people here, and there were no lights and colorful decorations, but people's faces were filled with a kind of expectation called hope, hoping that the holy tree and the world would give their family new hope to revitalize this declining country.

Yes, the annual 'Awakening Ceremony' of the Forest Elf Kingdom has started again.
