It must not be an illusion!
It's definitely him!
Bernadette walked towards the figure step by step. People nearby recognized her identity and dispersed to make way for a path. The person did not leave, but remained in place, with a pair of blue eyes watching calmly through the mask. He approached her step by step.
"Why do you have to wear a mask? Is it because you are not confident in your appearance that you are most proud of, or because you feel that you have no face to see me?" Bernadette said with a slightly trembling tone.
Russell didn't speak. He just looked at his grown-up daughter as calmly as possible.
He was indeed a little timid, so he picked a mask and put it on. He couldn't let his daughter see his eyes that were about to get wet and red, and his lips that were trembling slightly with excitement and joy due to uneasiness, right?
The old father has to face his face, even if it is a reunion scene, he must look a little different.
Originally, he wanted to hold the hidden sage's head and appear directly in front of Bernadette as a great hero.
But after Qunxing took away the Sequence 2 Extraordinary Characteristics, he never said anything about how to deal with the Hidden Sage.
Once he was free, he couldn't control his desire to see his precious daughter.
"Since you're not ready to see me, you shouldn't set foot here."
"Now that you've seen me, shouldn't you leave?"
"There is no reason for you to stay here."
Bernadette finished her words tremblingly, then turned around and left, heading towards the palace and castle that already belonged to her.
Russell followed closely behind him, but still did not speak.
Arriving in front of the castle gate, Bernadette stopped and said in a cold tone: "What I have been waiting for for so many years is not a mask, let alone a mute!"
"Ugh."
Russell sighed, patted Bernadette's shoulder that was suppressing trembling, and said in a low, vicissitudes of voice: "You have grown up."
"Yes, I have grown up." There was a hint of reminiscence in Bernadette's eyes, and then her expression became determined again, "So I no longer need any shoulders to lean on, lest I be abandoned in the same place one day."
"When I was young, I was naive and lacked the beatings of life. I always thought that the world would never change, but I didn't know that the sky would fall down one day."
Bernadette did not turn around, did not stop
She did not stay, nor did she throw herself into Roselle's arms and cry, but walked straight through the palace gate.
"..."
Russell's hand stayed awkwardly in mid-air. There was something wrong with the plot!
What about the Bernadette who liked to act coquettishly and rely on herself?
Where have you gone?
When she said those words, shouldn't she no longer be able to suppress the emotions deep in her heart, and then she would throw herself into her arms and cry bitterly, telling her how much she had missed her old father over the years?
Ah, how could such heartless and cold words come from the mouth of my lovely Bernadette?
The figure who turned around decisively was the most deadly ice pick inserted into the old father's heart!
My little cotton-padded jacket, you can't be covered with thorns. Your old father can't bear the heartache again and again.
Thousands of thoughts surged into Russell's mind in an instant, and his mind was so complicated that he didn't even continue to take steps forward, but just watched Bernadette's figure gradually move away.
"What are you still standing there for? Do I need you as a guard?"
A cold voice came from the front, making Russell's expression startled, and his mood suddenly became lively, and he hurriedly followed.
It turns out that my Bernadette still has a arrogant side when she grows up!
He obviously longed to meet his old father in his heart, but he always kept a straight face and refused to bow his head and submit.
It's so cute!
This is my precious daughter!
Russell quickened his pace and followed Bernadette two steps behind again.
"Your Majesty the Queen, the meeting just now..." Cattleya saw Bernadette returning and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but she caught a glimpse of a masked man following Her Majesty the Queen.
The man was staring at the Queen's back through the two holes in the mask.
He looked so focused and fascinated!
She was unhappy at first sight, but before she could ask, she heard the queen's cold voice.
"You will be responsible for today's affairs. I will not see any outsiders for the time being."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen." Cattleya could only watch as the Queen led the wretched masked man into the depths of the palace.
"..." Cattleya stayed there in silence for a long time.
Deep in the palace, Bernadette came to the small courtyard where she rested. No outsiders would come here.
"Why don't you take off your mask?" Bernadette stopped and said coldly without looking back.
Angry Bernadette is also extremely cute!
Russell, who was in a good mood, took off the lion mask on his face, revealing his rather handsome face.
Even though he is already middle-aged, he always thinks that his face is very capable and charming. If he returns to the original world, there will definitely be a group of girls rushing to add his handsome uncle's WeChat account.
Tall, rich and handsome, he felt that he had it all.
This is not narcissism, but an ironclad fact. Well, in the name of the Black Emperor, no refutation is allowed.
Chapter 624 Hasta Russell Klein
Deep in the castle, the expression on Bernadette's face softened, and she poured a cup of scented tea for Russell with her own hands. She stood on the side and said, "It was the stars that helped you get out of trouble, right?"
"The stars, His authority is amazing." Russell took a sip of scented tea and his mind gradually calmed down, "Have you really become a devout believer in the stars?"
"Yes." Bernadette nodded slightly, "This is not a bad thing. His brilliance has always protected me. This is why I can stand here today as the Queen of the Star Sea Kingdom."
Russell was a bit annoyed: "You seem to have a high opinion of Him?"
"He is a god worth my life, especially after He helped you get out of trouble."
Russell frowned slightly and said, "As far as I know, Qun Xing has another identity. Hastur, you should know about this, right?"
"My worldly status will not affect Qunxing's position in my heart, Hastur. I am considered a pretty good friend with him."
"Just a simple friend?" Russell glanced at his daughter secretly.
"It can also become a more intimate relationship, what do you think?" Bernadette asked deliberately.
"No, ordinary friends are fine. There is no need to become closer." Russell coughed lightly to hide his slightly guilty expression.
"What, are you afraid that your daughter will be abducted by Mr. Hastur?" Bernadette said expressionlessly: "After so many years of not seeing each other, your temper is still the same."
"Every man who is a father, especially if he has the most beautiful and lovely daughter in the world, will definitely strictly guard against any man who comes close to his daughter, no matter how good that man is or how outstanding his character is." Russell sighed.
"Oh, to put it this way, Mr. Hastur is indeed the most outstanding man I have ever met." Bernadette raised her eyebrows slightly.
"No, you must not have such thoughts, He is the stars, you just need to worship Him in your heart." Russell was a little panicked, fearing that he would accidentally backfire.
"You may have forgotten that I am no longer the young and innocent little girl I was back then."
"In the eyes of parents, children will always be children."
"Is there a secret between you and the stars that I don't know about?"
"No, I just think He is too mysterious and can only be viewed from a distance, not too close."
Bernadette looked deeply at Russell who spoke insincerely, "I suddenly felt that if I really want to have a life partner in this life, Mr. Hastur would be a good choice."
"Absolutely not!" Even though he knew that these words were meant to stimulate him, Russell was still anxious and almost jumped up, "You can call him uncle!"
"Uncle?" Bernadette pondered the title carefully. During the previous Chinese New Year, Hasta had given her a gift, saying that it could be regarded as a New Year's red envelope from the elders to the younger ones.
Now it seems that that action does have a profound meaning that I don't know.
"There is no blood relationship between me and him, so what does a title mean?" Bernadette stimulated again.
"..." Russell's face darkened, "No way! I
Never allow it! "
Bernadette wanted to make further insinuations, but Russell just kept a dark face and refused to reveal that he and Qunxing might come from the same place.
"The stars are watching everything. Do you think the conversation between our father and daughter just now has been heard by the stars?" Bernadette said, and specifically glanced at the sky.
Russell's mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted softly: "Even if the stars appear in front of me now, I dare to say that."
"is it?"
A ray of light fell, and Hastur suddenly appeared in front of Russell.
Originally, he was just staying in the Hall of Stars thinking about promotion to Sequence 2. When Bernadette and Russell talked about him, he naturally overheard the conversation between them.
Bernadette and Russell were both people he had specially marked recently, and their every move was naturally under his watch.
At first, he didn't want to interrupt the long-lost conversation between father and daughter, but who made their conversation get more and more off-topic. Especially when he saw Russell pretending to be pretentious again, he thought of coming down to scare him and let him He knows what it's like to pretend to fail.
Russell, the pioneer of time travel, basically pretended to be as cool as he could, leaving no room for latecomers like them.
If it were Klein today, Klein would definitely come down from the Source Castle and sit doing the same thing as him.
The time traveler has been suffering from Russell's poison for a long time.
Well, he noticed that Klein also came to the Rhoside Islands today, and it should be the guidance from Sefirah Castle.
Well, it's better to come early than to come late.
"Did you hear everything?"
Russell looked a little unnatural, but Bernadette was calm and generous, her eyes shining brightly as she watched the interaction between the two.
"The stars are watching everything." Hastur glanced at Russell lightly, "This is not an empty talk."
Russell said with a smile: "I was just telling some jokes, I couldn't take them seriously."
"Are those words just what you said to perfunctory me?" Bernadette said from the side.
"..." Russell felt a sour feeling in his heart at this moment. The little cabbage he raised had learned to turn his elbows outward!
"Ahem, you go down first. I have some things I want to talk to Qunxing alone." With a smile on his face, Russell motioned for Bernadette to go down first.
Bernadette glanced at Hastur and saw that Hastur did not agree with this approach, so she stood still.
