บท 211: Meeting Ed (3)

Adrianna asked Ed, "Grandfather, will you ever come back?" 

"No child… This is my where I belong. I won't go anywhere else." Ed paused and let go of Adrianna. "I am too old and don't want any more adventures in my life. This place is peaceful and I would like to spend the rest of my life here in this wilderness…" 

Ed looked at Adrianna's sad face and smiled. "However, you can visit your grandfather whenever you like." 

Ed looked at Dmitri and his yearning to meet his son and grandsons returned. As he looked at Dmitri, he found himself to be so helpless that he couldn't fathom it. He knew that Adrianna was in good hands, but the price he had to pay to keep her safe was not justified. Even though Kuro and his sons had never liked him, they were still his progeny. He loved them all regardless… Ed looked away with a sigh.
