NovelOnlineThe Silent 286 286.Chapter 286 Dylan looked at Malaki, confusion written all over his face. "Malaki, what's going on? It's me, Dylan! I thought you and my grandparents, I never imagined you'd still be alive!" Dylan thought, 'I've finally found him, so why is he in such a hurry to leave? Does Malaki not want to see me?' Dylan felt a strange unease rise in him. He fixed his gaze on Malaki, speaking more forcefully. "Malaki, get off the carriage. We haven't seen each other in such a long time. Let's find somewhere to sit and talk." Malaki met his gaze, sighing deeply before finally agreeing, "Fine." A short while later, they were sitting together in a private room at a nearby restaurant.
They were supposed to be sitting together, but it didn't quite feel that way. After entering the private room, Dylan casually ordered sfood and then turned to look at Malaki, who was still standing at a distance.

"I've always felt unworthy to face you. Even now that I'm here, I feel it even more. Please, letstand and answer your questions." Dylan blinked, not understanding. "What are you saying, Malaki? When my grandparents fell, it was because of the rebels. It had nothing to do with you. You've survived and made it this far. You should be happy, not ashamed." "Do you think I brought you here to accuse you of something?" Dylan asked with a smile.
"If that were the case, don't worry, Malaki. Your loyalty to my grandparents' family is unmatched, and I trust your character. So no matter how you escaped back then, I won't hold it against you." Malaki thought, 'How could a kind and understanding man like him have treated Lady Sophie so harshly for the sake of a bastard child? Lady Sophie is his true sister, yet Dylan still laid a hand on her, and so mercilessly!' Suppressing his confusion and frustration, Malaki took a deep breath, then began speaking, as Lady Sophie had instructed him.
"Lord Dyla is kind-hearted, and I would never deceive you. Over the years, I should have cto find you earlier, but because of what happened back then, I feared I might put you in danger, so I stayed out of Hasen City, avoiding coming back." "Later, Lady Sophie foundand broughtto Solacecrest Manor to live. I cto the city this tto buy sseeds for her, but I didn't expect to run into you again." As Malaki spoke, Dylan began to feel something wasn't right.
"What do you mean by that, Malaki? What happened back then, and why would finding us have put us in danger?" Dylan asked, his tone sharp with confusion.
Malaki sighed again, his gaze fixed on Dylan as he spoke earnestly. "Lord Dylan, are you truly no longer part of the Duke's estate?" "Yes, it's true," Dylan replied. "I've wronged Sophie in so many ways, and now I want to make things right. Wherever she is, that's where I'll be." Hearing this, Malaki nodded. "Since you are no longer with the Duke's estate, there are things you deserve to know."
