Chapter 200 Bad News (Add More, Please Subscribe)

Qiao An was speechless, and couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

Of course he knew what had happened to Captain Daniel, but how could he have the heart to tell poor Miss Martha the cruel truth, how could he have the heart to tell her that Captain Daniel had died heroically?

Just when he was in a dilemma, the old butler Philip brought a tall man in military uniform to the door of the living room.

"Miss, your guest has arrived."

"Oh my God! George, you're finally here!" Martha looked at the young officer who had just walked into the dining room in surprise, walked up to him, held his hand, and expressed her concern, "How are you doing recently? "

"Thank you for your concern, Martha, I'm fine."

"Sit down, I have a lot of things to ask you, by the way, I have a young friend here to introduce you, Mr. Joan Vida from Delin Town, a top student at Leiden College, Robert Disciple of Master Rawls."

Miss Martha turned to Joanne, and warmly introduced the new visitor to him.

"This is my neighbor and good friend George Vassar, a young and promising major officer. You should have met in Derlin Town?"

"Yes, Martha, Joan and I have known each other for a long time. He is the bravest and smartest boy I have ever met. To be honest, I have nothing against Master Rawls accepting Joan as his disciple." I'm surprised, but I'm curious, why is he here with you, did Rebecca invite him to be a guest?"

George Vassar looked around the dining room, puzzled.

"The 'Genius Girl' and 'Genius Boy' of Leiden College should be friends, but where is Rebecca?"

"George, you guessed wrong this time!"

Miss Martha giggled.

"Mr. Vida probably doesn't know my sister yet. He was enlisted to help me deal with the pests in the garden...I'll talk about these things later, George, I have a very serious question for you!"

The smile on Miss Martha's face was replaced by anxiety, and she looked worriedly at Major Vassar.

"For the sake of my lord Dimoss, you must tell me honestly whether Daniel has a good woman outside, or else, why hasn't he replied to my letter?"

"Of course there is no such thing! Martha, I swear to the goddess, Daniel still loves you deeply until the end..."

Facing Martha's bewildered eyes, Major Vassar's stern face twitched slightly due to the great pain hidden in his heart, and finally bit the bullet and told the truth.

"I'm sorry, Martha, I failed to fulfill the promise I made to you at the beginning, and failed to take good care of poor Daniel. He...has gone to another world, and I will never reply to your letter."

Miss Martha stood there blankly as if struck by lightning, her face lost all color in an instant, her lips trembled violently, but she couldn't even utter a word.

How heavy a blow would this sudden bad news cause to the poor woman who was looking forward to her fiancé's reply?

Joan couldn't empathize.

He didn't know how much grief Miss Martha was feeling at the moment, and he couldn't even bear to look directly at her heartbreaking expression, so he turned his back silently, hoping that time would pass faster and this painful moment would pass.

Suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, followed by George Vassar's urgent call.

Joan guessed without looking back that Miss Martha fainted from the shock of the bad news, and Major Vasa was trying to wake her up.

After a long time, Miss Martha woke up from Major Vassar's arms.

Under the shock of great grief, she showed an amazing strong will, supported herself to stand up, suppressed choking and said:

"George, Mr. Vader, please forgive me for not being able to have lunch with you, excuse me for a moment, see you later."

Barely finishing the last word, she suddenly turned around and rushed out of the restaurant door. The suppressed crying echoed in the corridor and gradually faded away.

Joan turned around and looked out the door, but Miss Martha was no longer in sight.

He looked back at George Vassar, and found Mr. Major standing facing the wall with his fists clenched, his shoulders trembling slightly, and tears glistening in his eyes, obviously trying to restrain his inner grief.

Of course, Joan knew that Captain Daniel was not only a subordinate of Major Vassar, but also his good friend.

Joan still remembered that, before Captain Daniel died, he asked Major Towasa to take care of his fiancée.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the fiancée that Captain Daniel was referring to was Miss Martha Custis.

Joan had witnessed the sacrifice of Captain Daniel with his own eyes, and now, by accident, he witnessed Major Vassar coming to tell Miss Martha the bad news. Apart from feeling deeply sorry for Captain Daniel who died young, he felt sorry for the loss of his lover. Miss Martha felt deep sympathy, but also deeply felt the impermanence of fate.

Principal Vassar breathed a sigh of relief, as if he wanted to get rid of the oppressive and painful atmosphere in the dining room, turned around and smiled at Joan, and asked him gently how he was doing these days at school.

"The tutor is very kind to me, and the classmates get along well. The only thing that bothers me is that I need to spend money everywhere, even if I borrow books, I have to pay."

"In order to save tuition fees, I had to use my spare time to do odd jobs. For example, I came to White House Manor this time because I received a reward notice issued by Miss Martha and came to eliminate a group of diggers that nested in the garden."

After Joan answered truthfully, he also followed the practice in the social field and cared about Major Vassar's recent situation.

"I heard from Miss Martha that you are on vacation recently?

"To be precise, he was forced to take a vacation."

Major Vassar smiled wryly.

"I did not ask my superiors for instructions, but I led my team to fight in Delin without permission, and sacrificed dozens of knights including Daniel, so I was severely reprimanded by General Charles Gates, the garrison commander of Leiden Port, and was also suspended. , Now I am reflecting at home, and I don’t know when I will be able to return to the barracks.”

Hearing Major Vasa's grievances, Joan was first shocked by what happened to him, and then thought that the reason why Major Vasa was punished was to rescue Delin Town. As a resident of Delin Town, he really owed him a life-saving kindness.

"Mr. Vasa, I'm sorry..."

"No, Joan, it's none of your business."

George Vassar interrupted him with a wave of his hand, looking calm.

"Actually, from the moment Green and Daniel jointly made the decision to rescue Delin Town, I expected today's punishment. As a paladin, in order to fulfill the sacred mission entrusted by our lord, I am willing to accept it." Your Excellency General’s rebuke, this is a choice I made myself, and has nothing to do with you or other residents of Delin Town, so you don’t need to feel that you owe me anything.”

Although Major Vassar said lightly, Joan still felt very uncomfortable.

In order to save Delin Town, Captain Daniel sacrificed his young life, causing Miss Martha to fall into great grief.

The originally young and promising Major Vassar was also severely reprimanded by his superiors, and was forced to leave the army temporarily and retire to the countryside.

Paying such a heavy price, the pious and upright Major Vasa may not regret it, but Joan feels wronged for him, and feels the hidden shackles everywhere in this world on a deeper level.

If a person wants to gain a foothold in society, he has to look at other people's faces all the time, and wrong himself to abide by the rules. If he refuses to distort his own heart and insist on doing what he thinks is right, he will inevitably fall into the situation of Major Vassar .

Qiao An sighed, and suddenly missed the campus and his small and quiet attic very much.

At least there is a pure land on campus, he can ignore those complicated worldly relationships and interests, and just focus on the studies he loves deeply.
