- Daniel's past
"But it looks like this is just a peaceful island."
Alice said.
After they landed on the island, although she did not meet many people, the people she met did not have any ill intentions, especially the landlady, who was even concerned about her.
"Peaceful?" Daniel mocked, "That's the fake appearance of the Borg Island, you have never been inside the Borg Family, you don't know what kind of terrifying class system there is, they want their servants to have absolute servility."
Alice listened quietly.
"Alice, do you know how my father passed away?" Daniel looked at Alice. "My father was tortured to death. Originally, we lived a relatively peaceful life in Borg Family. Ever since my father was transferred to serve a young master at that time, he was wounded every day. Gradually, his fingers disappeared, his toes disappeared, his eyes disappeared, and finally, he lost his life."
Sue stood at the side and covered her mouth with her hands.
Alice involuntarily tightened her grip on the pocket watch in her hand. Looking at him in disbelief, she took a step back.
A warm hand wrapped around her.
She turned her head and William was standing right beside her.
William hugged her and looked coldly at Daniel, "What happened next?"
"From that time onwards, I swore that I would bring my mother away from Borg Family, from Borg Island. However, if we want to leave the Borg Family, we have to go through the garrison troops on the island. They are also a group of people that have been enslaved and have a slightly higher status than us, under the brainwashing of their masters, they do not spare us a glance, and wouldn't let us leave."
This was the Borg Family, they kept to their old dirty tricks, dividing people into several categories.
Alice stood beside William and listened. She never thought that her foster father was like this before.
He was such a good man.
"At that time, my desire to escape was very strong. I didn't want to stay on the island with my mother and wait for death." Daniel said as he turned around and slowly walked in front of Alice. He took the pocket watch from her hand and stated with a pale face, "At that time, Chief Guard favored his eldest daughter, who was about the same age as me. She was the most beautiful mixed blood girl on the island."
Alice listened quietly and did not interrupt.
"I know that the young masters of the family are fighting for her, and I know that she will be destroyed by the family sooner or later. I think that she will always be destroyed, so using a girl like this is not a big deal." Daniel said as he looked at William and Alice, and narrated his most miserable past bit by bit. "Thus, I approached that girl and let her steal my father's talisman, and Mother and I smoothly escaped. That's the whole story."
He finished so simply, like a spectator narrating the facts objectively, without any emotion.
Alice looked at Daniel, approached? How close was he to her? After staying in the inn with that girl for a long time, he left her
behind?
"Why didn't you take the girl with you?"
Sue asked out of curiosity.
"If she escapes, her family would definitely be cruelly punished. She had to stay and take responsibility, she voluntarily allowed me to escape." Daniel said.
Hearing this, Sue could not believe it, "Then you can use that to completely get rid of a girl like her? Are you still a man? "
Alice really wanted to speak up for Daniel, but she could not refute what Sue had said.
He cheated a simple girl to help him escape, and then she stayed alone to take all the responsibility.
No wonder the landlady said that the girl cried for so long at the beach.
After putting everything together, Alice suddenly felt very sad. It was not wrong to try to escape, it was just that her foster father used this chance to hurt someone.
"I had no choice. I was with my mother, and I wouldn't go back. If I went back, I would die with my mother. I could only walk this path until the end." Daniel said with a terrifyingly pale face, "And she, even without me, would be destroyed. She knew it."
"Then you left her alone?" Sue said excitedly, "Did you know that the landlady said she cried at the seaside for a few days? You left selfishly, did you know how desperate she was?"
Alice turned and looked at Sue. Her eyes turned red from anger.
Alice did not say anything. She heard William's voice resounding in her ears, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, after dozens of years, why did you suddenly think of coming back?"
"Because of a letter."
Daniel said.
