Chapter 353: No Reconciliation
Chapter 353: No Reconciliation
"Hey, Natalie, is your beast warrior sister coming back today?"
Natalie raised her head from her sleepiness and looked at the orange tiger that made the noise.
Natalie's face was bright, and when she raised her eyebrows, she had a sharp and fierce look. She complained to Dooku last night, slept later than usual, and was woken up by a communication from her boss this morning. Now she finally had a chance to rest for a while, but she was disturbed again.
She was in a bad mood, so her tone was particularly bad.
"none of your business."
The orange tiger who asked the question was irritated by the impolite answer and his face turned ugly.
"Natalie, what are you so proud of? Do you think that after your beast warrior sister comes back, you will..."
"You weren't there when I joined the family?"
Natalie's eyes were dull.
"Whether my beast warrior sister comes back or not, I can bury you in the ground. Don't try my patience."
The orange tiger's face turned pale. He wanted to say something, but was persuaded to leave by the surrounding orange tigers.
Natalie felt the tense atmosphere. She ignored the looks from others, sat up and stretched.
She really didn't understand why these orange tigers always wanted to provoke her. She had joined the Pastero family and became a complete orange tiger, but they still thought she was a spy sent by the white tigers.
Then why not give her the last name Pastro in the beginning?
It's not possible to have both.
Natalie looked speechlessly at the orange tigers who were avoiding her and thought it would be better to go to the white tigers.
At least the White Tigers of the Weiss family would not think that mentioning Matija was humiliating her.
She was not the kind of tiger who bullied others by taking advantage of her power, but she did show off because she had a beast warrior sister. Her vanity was greatly satisfied when other little tigers looked at her in amazement and envy.
But this satisfaction was not enough to fill the void left by Matthias in her life.
Can Beast Warrior not keep his promise? Can Beast Warrior forget what he said to his sister and disappear without a reason?
can.
of course can.
Because the Beast Warrior has greater things to do. She is not an unreasonable orange tiger, she understands Matija, she thinks Matija is perfect, and she finds sufficient reasons for all of Matija's actions.
But she will grow up. She will have her own life. She will be jealous of Mattia who has already reached the top. She will no longer love Mattia without reservation.
She did feel like an ungrateful creature. But Morga and Gilan did not ask her to love Mathia, they did not even ask her to stay with them.
It's not that she doesn't love her family, she just doesn't want to spend her life in mediocrity under the shadow of her sister.
There is a beast warrior sister, no matter what she has achieved, she is not qualified. But she is competitive, she likes to win, and she hopes that Matija will recognize her.
She hoped that Mattia would not treat her like a cub. She couldn't help but feel angry when she saw Mattia's hesitation in front of her.
Matthias's tenderness towards her seemed like alienation.
If Matiya had always been the superior beast warrior, if Matiya had not tried to make up for the past deficiencies when she grew up, she could still convince herself that Matiya was such a sister.
But she found that she had lost too much. She thought of Mattia as a perfect sister, and when she shattered this fantasy, Mattia came to tell her that her fantasy was real.
She discovered with sadness her own inadequacy.
Matthias still loved her seriously, but she could no longer love Matthias as purely as she did when she was a child.
She was undoubtedly jealous of Matthias, she hated Matthias's fraternity and persistence extremely, and she scoffed at Matthias's ideas.
But she still bears a lot of invisible responsibilities.
Matija is a beast warrior without the support of her family.
Beast Warriors have the obligation to protect orcs, and this obligation makes them fight against many complex forces and puts them in danger at all times.
Most beast warriors are nobles with good moral character, and a small number may be civilians, but after becoming beast warriors, they will also choose to serve a certain force.
For example, there is Sakina, a snake beast warrior who serves in the military, and Rusail, a sparrow beast warrior who cooperates with a manufacturer in the southern continent.
Mattia is different. Peace requires neutrality, and once Mattia starts cooperating with a certain force, she will have room to compromise.
If Mattia wants to ensure her independence, she must not have any worries.
That's why Morga and Gilan stayed in Titag.
Titeg is very "safe".
Titagh itself is not so open, and outsiders need to be wary, which ensures the basic safety of Morga and Jilan.
Furthermore, no matter how fierce the internal struggles in Titaige were, they would still unite against the outside world. If someone really came to seek revenge, Morga and Jilan would also be protected.
There was a certain tacit understanding between Morgha, Gilan and King Titaig.
As long as they do not leave Titag, the king will protect Mattiya at the national level, making Mattiya seem to have the support of the entire country.
Natalie knew that Morga and Gillan had discussed whether to move out of Titag, but after weighing the pros and cons, Morga and Gillan finally gave up.
Becoming a citizen of another country requires fulfilling corresponding obligations, and moving to public territory requires constant attention to safety.
Natalie felt that her parents were also lying.
They always let her and Matthias do what they like, not change their ideas because of other people's wishes, and not compromise with the world.
But they still compromised a lot for her and Matthias.
Natalie can give many examples. For example, when it comes to food, what she eats at home is always what she likes. There are some foods that Gillan hates, but Gillan will still make them for her with a smile.
For example, in terms of study, she was not an excellent student and she would always question the teacher's opinions. Moljia never blamed her. Moljia paid for her expensive transfer fees and worked two jobs.
The love between Morga and Gilan is concrete. She saw how excellent Matija was brought up by the love between Morga and Gilan, so she was afraid of her own mediocrity. She was once very afraid that Morga and Gilan would be disappointed in her.
But her worries were pointless.
"Darling, we didn't want to adopt you just because you're smart. We love you just because you are you, and your changes are cute to us."
"Yes. Honey, you don't have to be a specific 'Natalie', we accept all of you."
She was loved in this way, as if she had melted into their bones and blood.
She was the child of Morga and Gillan, so naturally, like Mattia, she also inherited some of her parents' ideas.
Mattia advocates peace, and she is willing to let Mattia save this broken world.
She was willing to take on some of the responsibility so that Matija would not have to worry about anything. She volunteered to stay in Titag and to be the protector of her parents.
Even if it means giving up on your dreams.
There was no need for Natalie to hesitate. She might not become the next Beast Warrior, but Matija was already one.
She was willing to give her life for Matija. But she would not allow Matija to forget why she liked to eat meat pie. Whether it was a triangle or a square.
Matija's world was too big and too vast, she didn't know where Matija had hidden her. She knew that Matija cared about her very much, but...
Natalie closed her eyes slightly.
She didn't want to show that she loved Mattia. She didn't want to admit defeat. The more you love someone, the more passive you become, and you will give the right to hurt yourself to the one you love.
Matija didn't realize this. Matija didn't know what she had paid for, and she didn't want to let Matija know as if to take credit for it.
"…Um, Natalie, your sister is here to see you."
The orange tiger, who usually had a fairly normal relationship with Natalie, had his fingers trembling slightly.
"Your sister said she's waiting for you outside."
Natalie was stunned.
She worked for the Pastro family, and Mattia never visited her at her workplace to avoid suspicion.
She thought it was a prank by Ju Hu who had just challenged her, but she knew that her colleagues did not have such good acting skills.
Natalie walked out doubtfully.
…It was actually Mattia.
Natalie folded her arms and looked at her.
"What are you here for?"
Mattia raised the lunch box in her hand.
"Come and deliver breakfast."
"I will not eat."
"There are four-cornered shortbread."
"…Mattia, don't you think it's too late to bring this up now?"
"Natalie, I remember why you like shortbread."
Natalie gritted her teeth and snorted.
"It's nothing to remember now."
Matthias fell silent.
Natalie thought that this statement might be a bit exaggerated. Because Mattia was talking about the square biscuits, it showed that Mattia did know the reason.
If Mattia had answered the question the first time she asked it, she would probably be much happier than she is now.
Natalie took the lunch box from Mattia and said "thank you" stiffly.
"I'll go home for lunch at noon."
"...Jilan said he wanted to go out for lunch at noon."
"With your students?"
"Ah."
"Where to eat?"
Mattia thought about it.
"What do you want to eat? Jilan lets you decide."
"The restaurant at the end of the street."
Mattia hesitated.
"I remember you said you didn't like the food there."
Natalie turned around and snorted.
"I don't like it. But your students are here to attend the Illumination Festival, so of course they have to eat O'Neill's specialties."
Matthias looked at Natalie's back, hesitated, and spoke softly.
"Have we reconciled?"
"No."
Natalie looked back calmly.
"Mattia, have we ever had a fight?"
Mattia was slightly stunned. She didn't answer because she realized that this was the same question as why Natalie liked to eat shortbread.
But she had long forgotten the correct answer.
There were too many details about her time with Natalie, but her busy schedule left her no time to consolidate these memories. When she tried to pick them up again, she only got simplified results.
Her hesitation disappointed Natalie, who looked at her knowingly.
"——Mattia, we won't make peace until you answer this question."
