Chapter 9: The Real Protagonist

"This is something that might happen in the future, I’m not sure at the moment," Karoso shook his head.

"I would never abandon… No, I would never betray my elder brother…" Neymar panicked suddenly. "Brother, did someone tell you something? I can explain everything!"

"I ate a piece of my brother’s pastry without asking, it was my fault. I didn’t see clearly at that time, I thought it was mine."

"When my brother saw a piece of his pastry missing, he thought it was the maid who ate it and locked her up… I was so scared, I didn’t dare admit it, so I secretly gave her something to eat…"

"Also, I didn’t mean to take my brother’s pen, I needed it to write a spell, but I didn’t have a good pen at hand, mine was broken and I didn’t have time to buy a new one…"

Neymar was like a popping bean, with each little thing she had done jumping out.

She was afraid that Karoso would doubt her loyalty because of these things and would send her to another family once they reached the capital city.

Although the Colloa family was a bit cold, Neymar had gotten used to this kind of life and didn’t want to change families again.

Karoso’s expression remained unchanged, but inside, there were all sorts of emotions churning.

I wonder why my ink reduced so much initially, how long exactly is that spell?

Unexpectedly, Neymar, who seemed not prone to mistakes, had actually made so many errors that I hadn’t noticed.

Sigh, it’s my fault, I should have noticed.

"It’s not because of these little things."

"Then… why did my eldest brother say I would betray him?" Neymar’s heart was pounding, "Can you tell me?"

"A prophecy."

Karoso couldn’t explain the bullet comment, so he used a prophecy to cover it up.

"Prophecies… they are always vague, and there are many ways to interpret them." Neymar quickly said, "Brother, please don’t send me away just because of a prophecy…"

"Send you away?" Karoso looked at Neymar with confusion, "Why would I send you away?"

Even though the bullet comment said Neymar would betray Karoso in the future, it also said the future can be changed. Karoso wouldn’t abandon Neymar because of what might happen in the future.

Neymar’s magical talent is great, although not as exceptional as Karoso’s, she is still a rare talent and worth investing in.

"If you didn’t want to give up on me, why did you explain things to me yesterday…" Neymar cautiously said, "Brother has never explained his actions before…"

"Because I wanted to explain, is there a problem?" Karoso replied indifferently.

Neymar quickly shook her head.

It turns out I was thinking too much… Why does he suddenly want to explain things to me?

Soon, Neymar realized, could it be that her older brother had started to treat her like family, caring about her feelings?

Or… Did father ask her older brother to do this?

Afterwards, the two walked in silence, Neymar’s mind a jumble, while Karoso preferred to remain quiet.

……

Soon, the car left the city and arrived at the airport not far away.

Airships, planes, and spaceships all take off from here.

In terms of speed, planes are definitely the fastest, but in this world, there are no large planes available. They are all small-sized.

In terms of cost, airships are the most cost-effective, but they are slower and require enduring being packed with many other people.

In terms of overall advantages, airships are the best.

They are faster than ships, don’t get wet in bad weather like ships, and do not get cold easily due to being unsealed like ships.

The airship didn’t take off yesterday due to a malfunction, causing many people to look unhappy.

Some were going for business meetings, some to attend banquets in the capital, and some to participate in auctions.

Because of Karoso, their plans were delayed by a day.

These were not ordinary people travelling on the airship, they were individuals of status and importance, and their time was very precious.

Creak!

The car stopped, the driver got out and respectfully opened the door for Karoso.

After Karoso got out of the car, Neymar followed behind him like a little maid.

Along the way, Karoso was thinking about bullet comments. When he got off the car and waved his hand, his thoughts combined with his actions, and the bullet comment popped out directly.

[Oh no, I can see it now.]

[I can’t stand it, the black screen is taking too long this time, isn’t it?]

[Master Karoso, we are all men here, why are you shy about changing clothes and showering? Can we still peek?]

[I remember there are many girls playing this game too, with lots of beautiful and handsome characters, right?]

[Found an honest person.]

[There are no women here, only men! Don’t be scared, Honey Karoso, next time change clothes in front of me.]

[Master Karoso looks so cool in formal attire!]

[Is this an airship?]

[Wow, it’s so big, much bigger than my house!]

[Do you want to see what you’re saying?]

[Neymar is so pretty!]

Neymar was wearing a beautiful white dress, a shiny green gemstone necklace around her neck, lace gloves on her hands, a lovely hair accessory, and she looked very matching with Karoso.

"Master," the airship ticket inspector bowed respectfully to Karoso.

"Hmm," Karoso took out two tickets and handed them to the ticket inspector.

The driver had already taken out the luggage for the two of them, ready to take them onto the airship.

Just then, the bullet comments suddenly exploded.

[Oh no! It’s me!]

[Hey, it’s me and my brother!]

[Me and my sister!]

[Wow, what a surprise to bump into ‘myself’ here!]

[I used to be the Ideal Homeland Card God before losing my memory!]

[Judging from the clothes, it seems like the Dean phase now, not yet in the royal family.]

The bullet comments started rolling like crazy.

Looking at the strange bullet comments in front of him, Karoso looked around and soon focused his gaze on two people.

In front of him, two people were wearing black clothes, both had silver-gray hair, most of their faces were covered with veils, and their skin was covered by the clothes.

[Master Karoso, you better not mess with me now, you can’t handle me at this moment.]

[‘I’ was still a top card maker this time, no joking with you.]

[How did ‘I’ end up in Canglang Province?]

[Maybe to buy some materials.]

[No way, shouldn’t they be trying to figure out the truth about Canglang Province?]

[Did we just come into contact with Neymar?]

[Not necessarily, now there is a butterfly effect happening. Don’t forget, because of us, Master Karoso and Neymar arrived a day late.]

The two of them seemed to feel Karoso’s gaze and both turned their heads to look at him.

After seeing the brooch on Karoso’s chest, they both bowed to him at the same time.

The two of them looked like they were cut from the same mold, one tall and one short, one male and one female.

"Is that… the past you?" Karoso’s expression turned strange, weren’t there only two of you? There must be at least a thousand or more of you…
