Chapter 580

Whether it's because Anqi Faction kind of special aura or not, Bronya somehow learned to imagine Cocolia's every move.

Or perhaps the responsibility of being the successor to the Great Guardian is actually very stressful, and Bronya, being extremely responsible, dared not allow herself to slack off. Thus, her naturally lively and impulsive girlish thoughts could only veer in strange directions.

Bronya ate her meal, stealing a glance across at Cocolia quiet and elegant eating. She couldn't resist mustering her courage and asked:

"Mother, you can play the guitar?"

I studied it when I was young.

"Then why have I never seen Mother play this before?"

"Because music cannot save Belobog. As the Great Guardian, I have no right to waste my time on things that are of no benefit to Belobog."

Cocolia said calmly, in a way that was almost cold.

Bronya's heart skipped a beat. She remembered the old, musty smell of the guitar when she had dug it out... It was clear that Cocolia wasn't lying; she really hadn't touched the instrument for a very, very long time.

But even though she hadn't played it for so long, it still sounded beautiful when she played.

Because it was something that couldn't save Belobog, she had to give it up without hesitation, even though she liked it and was clearly smiling while playing.

"Bronya, what are you thinking about?"

"No... it's nothing."

"Take that guitar to sell for me tomorrow. It's not appropriate for the Great Guardian to do this kind of thing personally. Just donate the money to the public account of Kriper Castle."

"What? Sell it?"

Bronya's pupils twitched.

Cocolia's tone remained flat, like a machine devoid of emotion and pain.

Bronya felt she couldn't detect any emotional fluctuation in her mother's voice. Her upbringing had taught her that her mother was doing the right thing, setting a good example.

However, the girl could not deny that she felt a kind of suffocation.

The next day, following the orders of her mother and Great Guardian, Bronya went out with her guitar on her back.

However, instead of heading towards the music store, their steps suddenly veered off course, leading them to the "Eternal Motion" mechanical house adjacent to Kriper Castle.

"Ding-a-ling~~"

Welcome!

The moment she pushed open the door, the dashing blonde woman with waist-length blonde hair instinctively flashed a bright smile, then paused in surprise.

"You are... Bronya?"

"It's been a long time, Miss Silval."

Bronya's heart was filled with complex emotions, but her face wore the same cold and stern expression she had learned from her mother.

Silval shrugged, her gaze sweeping over the guitar case behind Bronya, before smiling as usual and saying:

"What brings you here today? And, black tea or coffee, please?"

"No need. I just came here... to sell guitars."

"Oh? Bronya, you play guitar too? Well, you have good taste. Although I run a mechanical shop, my forte is music. If it's in good condition, I can offer a price that a music store wouldn't pay!"

"Okay, then please take a look."

Bronya placed the guitar on the table, then carefully observed Silval's face.

Silval smiled as she unzipped her jacket, revealing a black guitar with a large discharge electrode inserted. Then her smile suddenly froze, like a stiff wax figure.

After a moment, Silval forced a smile and said:

"Haha! It really is a uniquely shaped guitar, but it also has quite a... commemorative value. How about I offer this price?"

"This is my mother's guitar. Last night, I saw her playing it alone. It was a tune I had never heard before, but it was both sad and peaceful."

"Uh... even if... even if it's the Great Guardian's guitar, I can't raise the price too much for you."

"So, what happened back then? Can you tell me about it?"

Bronya's sudden question shattered Silval's fake smile.
