Chapter 312 Methods of Death
Sometimes, Cathy felt she should be more ruthless.
Natalie — Mother.
Kathy met his mother once, and she told him that praying for retribution for those who harbor hatred is not evil.
He believed in Natalie.
Mr. Mosley also said that hatred is not a mistake.
Therefore, Kathy will not easily forgive another person.
The knight named Dick Buchanan killed his father.
Although Cathy didn't spend much time with her father, she could still feel his deep love for her when she thought back on it.
Kathy is always happy when she spends time with her father.
Kathy therefore loves her father very much.
Even if none of the above had happened, Kathy would never forgive someone who killed her father.
Kathy hoped the other party would pay the price, but unfortunately he was not capable of taking revenge on his own.
He felt he was too weak.
But Mr. Mosley said that a person's strength lies not only in how fast he can wield a sword, or in mastering some magical, extraordinary power.
Being able to quickly memorize the contents of a book is a strength, but being able to unite many people around you and let them play their respective roles is even more so.
Unfortunately, Kathy isn't very good at reading either. Of course, these are just examples; there are many other ways to demonstrate a person's strength.
However, Cathy felt that she was a duke.
As the lord of a territory, perhaps the ability to govern others is indeed more important.
Even so, Casey cannot rely on this power to take revenge at the moment.
Mr. Mosley would not help him based on purely personal requests.
Harriet was willing to help him, but only because of her favoritism towards him.
That's why Cathy couldn't bear to use Harriet as a tool to satisfy her own desires.
However, the knight was willing to entrust his life to Cathy because only Harriet could save the loyal dog's daughter.
In the end, he was still dependent on Harriet.
This is what troubles Cathy the most.
Cathy disliked the woman, despite her being the daughter of a loyal dog.
Some people even find it annoying.
However, after she escaped from the library that night, Cathy developed some interest in her.
She was wearing a wedding dress, which means she was attending a wedding.
However, the knight was only dressed in military attire, indicating that the two were not very close.
Although Casey hated Dick Buchanan, she couldn't find a way to destroy him as a man and a knight.
Kathy understood him; with the faith of a knight, she was willing to give everything for her master's family.
Like Pegasus, he dedicated his life to the Lines family.
However, for aristocratic ladies like Peggy, the lives of their subordinates are generally not of great importance.
The relationship between Dick and Peggy seems to remain merely that of a master and servant.
In Kathy's eyes, Peggy was exactly the spoiled rich girl he remembered.
Therefore, she should sacrifice the lives of her subordinates in order to ensure her own safety.
However, her response that day was truly beyond Cathy's expectations.
She got Harriet to cooperate with her to get Dick away, and then she escaped from the library.
The sole motivation was to prevent Harriet from continuing to treat her, so that Dick wouldn't have to entrust his life to Cathy.
That day, Kathy learned two things.
Peggy is not the completely selfish person that Kathy imagined.
And she seems to care a lot about Dick.
In any case, it is extremely rare to be willing to give up one's life for another person.
That night, Kathy even felt that Peggy seemed like a pitiful girl.
He suddenly realized that he and Peggy were quite similar; their fathers had both died on the same night.
Each of them also has a knight who is willing to go through fire and water for them.
Perhaps it was this sense of identification that led Cathy to say to Dick, who was frantically searching for Peggy, "She cares about you."
At that moment, Kathy was leaning against the library door.
Kathy heard the crying and conversation outside the door clearly.
I heard one person's determination to die, and I also heard another person's deep concern.
Kathy understood that they were two living, breathing people.
They both longed for the other to live.
It would be wonderful if both wishes could come true at the same time.
However, this wish itself is unrealistic.
Only one of them can live.
Kathy moved away from the doorway; he knew they were about to come in.
He didn't want them to find out; he had been eavesdropping.
Kathy returned to the table and casually flipped through a book for a moment before the two of them walked in at the same time.
Peggy's soft sobs reached Cathy's ears, indicating that she had not yet fully calmed down.
Knight Dick greeted everyone.
He found Harriet: "Miss, I've brought her back. Can you heal her?"
Harriet said, "Yes, this was settled yesterday."
"Please, Miss, please follow Miss Harriet inside."
Upon hearing this, Cathy couldn't help but steal a glance in that direction.
Peggy bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Dick's face, but she didn't move an inch.
Dick seemed to have no choice but to gently push Peggy forward.
Upon arriving at the room door, Harriet went in first to wait.
Dick said, "Come in, miss."
"You can just call me Peggy, and I'll call you Dick," Peggy suddenly said.
"This is my honor."
"Then try shouting it out."
"Yes, Miss Peggy."
"Please, Dick, don't treat me like a prostitute, at least not now."
"I understand, Peggy."
"Um!"
Peggy grinned, but the tears in her eyes didn't stop.
"Then, go in, Peggy."
"Dick!"
"Please give your orders, Peggy."
"Remember your promise, you weren't allowed to die."
"I remember."
Suddenly, Peggy lunged forward and hugged Dick.
She started crying again: "I won't let you die! You promised me, so you can't die! Do you hear me, Dick!"
"I know, Peggy, go inside."
"I know your whole story, Dick. Is there anything I don't know?"
"There were some other trivial matters, but they were really not worth mentioning."
"I will never forget, Dick! I will never forget you! Nor will I forget your story!"
"Um, thank you."
Kathy saw Dick quickly wipe the corner of his eye.
The two remained in that position for a long time before Peggy finally let go and walked towards the room.
She stopped at the doorway and turned to Dick, saying:
"Thank you, Dick—and, the bedroom door closes."
Peggy's voice seemed to be drowned out by the sound of the door closing, or perhaps she said nothing at all.
In short, heart-wrenching weeping filled the room once again.
Kathy could understand the crying.
Peggy knew Dick was lying to her, yet she was also deceiving herself into believing him.
She probably thought this was the last time she would see Dick, and that by the time she came out, Dick would probably be a corpse.
However, Casey felt that Peggy's idea was a bit too hasty.
Kathy did intend to take Dick's life, but she wasn't unwilling to wait for the outcome of the treatment.
Henry killed the loyal dog, and Cathy believed her father must have done so in a fair and square way.
Since that's the case, Casey should accept Dick's life in a fair and square manner.
So Peggy's last words were a farewell to Dick.
Dick cooperated with Peggy, presumably because he knew that Peggy knew he was lying.
From the moment Dick walked back into the library, he probably never considered leaving.
Dick stood in a daze at the bedroom door for a long time before walking to the center of the hall and finding a seat.
After reading this poignant tale of life and death, Cathy lost all interest in continuing her studies.
He went to the registration counter, found Mr. Mosley, and spoke to him in a low voice.
"Mr. Mosley, what should I do?"
Mr. Mosley smiled and said, "I cannot answer that question for you."
"But I'm confused—sir, could you ask me some questions, like you usually ask me?"
"If you need it—of course."
"Then let's begin, sir."
"So, Casey, do you still want revenge?"
"think!"
"Hmm, so you want to kill him?"
Kathy thought for a moment, and finally nodded hesitantly.
"You're conflicted, Casey, so think carefully about what you're conflicted about."
Upon hearing Mr. Mosley's words, Casey immediately began to think.
He quickly found the answer:
"If I were to duel him and kill him in the fight, I would do it without hesitation, but if it's just that—"
"Do you feel that your victory was unfair?"
"Well—and also, I feel like I've taken advantage of Harriet. I don't want to treat Harriet as a tool; I want to cherish her more."
Is that all?
"Also, if he dies, Peggy will be very sad."
"I remember you didn't like her."
"I will not forget compassion because of my likes or dislikes!"
"Hahaha! Well said, Casey, your sense of justice is truly unwavering, and your kindness shines just as brightly."
"Sir, I don't want to see anyone pitiful unless I hate that person, or that person is an utterly wicked villain."
"Hmm, I can hardly disagree with you on that point. So what do you plan to do? You want revenge, but you're also unwilling to just kill him like this?"
Kathy nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, he hurriedly asked:
"Sir, isn't there a better way?"
.
"There are many ways, but you'll have to find them yourself," Mr. Mosley continued with a smile.
"But I can't find it," Cathy thought with a hint of disappointment.
“You just haven’t looked carefully enough,” Mr. Mosley said. “Solutions are found, Casey. You have to learn how to find solutions to problems, and that often requires you to make use of everything you have.”
Hearing this, Kathy nodded.
He returned to his seat and began to ponder his teacher's words.
The gentleman will not influence his judgment, so ultimately it depends on him.
Use everything. Kathy thought, "But what do I have now?"
Kathy tried to gather all the information together, and then he was surprised to find that the clues in his mind began to become clear and were arranged in a regular pattern.
Kathy also tried to use these clues to find a better path.
Time flies, and it was almost evening in the blink of an eye.
The bedroom door was suddenly opened.
Harriet came out of the room, and Dick immediately went up to her and asked:
"Miss, how is Peggy?"
"She's much better now, but she's still not completely cured."
Is Peggy still awake?
"She's asleep, but could wake up at any moment."
"I see"
Kathy noticed that Harriet's face was very pale.
Feeling sorry for Harriet, he quickly helped her sit down.
"Thank you, Casey."
"You don't need to work so hard," Cathy said.
“I don’t know why, but I don’t dislike Peggy, even though she got into a fight with you,” Harriet said. “I talked to her for a while that night.”
"This gave me a deeper understanding of her, and at least I believe she's not a bad person at heart. So, I thought it would be better for her health to start treatment sooner."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It was really tough. I'm completely drained. I have absolutely no energy left."
Ah—. Cathy felt a pang of sadness. I knew I was using her.
"I'm sorry, Harriet."
"Why are you apologizing, Cathy?"
"I—I can't help you."
"You are helping me right now, letting me know that someone cares about me."
And Cathy thinks that it's not just the two of us who care about each other.
Just then, Dick stepped forward and bowed to Casey:
"Although it's not completely cured yet, our previous agreement didn't include such a requirement. Anyway, thank you, Duke Casey, Miss Harriet."
"I will never forget your help to Peggy, and please remember our previous agreement: you must not refuse to help Peggy whenever she falls ill again."
Kathy said, "The Duke is a man of his word."
"A knight's oath is just as precious," Dick said without backing down. "My life is yours; you can take it anytime."
Kathy believed that, just as he would now crane his neck to see Dick's head, he would not hesitate to do so.
However·--·
"fraud!"
A voice suddenly came from behind Dick.
He turned around hurriedly: "Miss?! You're awake?"
"fraud!"
Peggy shouted loudly and cried sadly.
Dick seemed to want to offer some comfort, but he only took half a step before stopping.
He ultimately said nothing, silently bearing the guilt of lying, and lowered his head.
Instead, Peggy took the initiative to approach him: "You promised you wouldn't die! I won't let you die!"
Peggy suddenly hugged Dick: "Liar! Liar! Liar—"
She cried bitterly, but Dick remained silent and motionless.
Finally, Peggy released her hands and walked towards Kathy:
"Your Grace, please have mercy! Please spare his life! I beg you, I beg you—"
Just as she was about to kneel, a large hand reached out and pulled her back.
"Miss, you can't do this. He is the navigator's son, the son of your father's killer. You can't kneel before him."
"So what! He wasn't the one who killed my father!"
"But you can't abandon your dignity and kneel before him—"
"...Dignity and all that, I don't care about any of that now, Dick. All I want now is for you to live! You were willing to give up your life for me..."
What's wrong with me giving up my dignity! Let me go!
Peggy broke free from Dick's large hand and faced Kathy:
"Your Grace, please forgive him!"
She was about to kneel when Kathy immediately stopped her:
"You don't have to kneel before me, and I will never forgive you."
"My lord, why must you be so heartless?"
"It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that I have nothing to forgive. You haven't done anything to wrong me, so naturally I can't forgive you for your actions."
Peggy clearly understood, and she immediately walked towards Dick:
"Dick, go and beg Casey to forgive you!"
However, Dick remained unmoved, simply clenching his fists and standing still.
"Please, Dick, go, just for my sake—"
After saying that, Peggy hugged Dick again.
"Miss."
Call me Peggy.
"Peggy—"
"Just for me."
Ukick sighed deeply, closed his eyes for a long time, and then opened them again.
"I understand, Peggy."
Dick walked up to Casey and knelt down with a serious expression:
"Duke Casey, please forgive me."
"I don't feel any remorse from you," Kathy said.
"Because there was no remorse to begin with. I knelt down for Peggy, and I have no regrets whatsoever about killing the Navigator."
"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!"
Peggy rushed over and kept punching Dick.
Then, as if she had been wronged, she looked up and burst into tears.
It seemed to her that everything was over.
"So," Casey said, "I can't forgive you, and even if you sincerely apologize, my answer won't change."
Peggy walked towards Casey, sobbing, "My lord, please don't—"
However, Kathy suddenly reached out her hand, signaling Peggy to stop talking.
Kathy stood up from her seat and walked slowly through the crowd.
He imitated the posture of Reggie, the posture of a lord, as he remembered him.
"I will not forgive you, Dick Buchanan. I will take your life, but a man's knees are truly expensive, and I must pay for them. Therefore, I have decided to give you a more glorious death."
Cathy stopped and stared straight at Dick.
"Go and die in battle, knight."
