Chapter 278 Awkward Brotherhood

"Unjustly accused?" Regulus was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"I found out that he escaped from prison to hunt down a man, Peter Pettigrew."

"Peter Pettigrew? The little henchman who had been following them? Wasn't he killed by Sirius?"

"No, he's still alive and well. Now it seems that there is something fishy going on here." Sebastian said slowly, "According to my inference, Sirius is not the secret keeper of James and Lily."

"You mean to say that they might have secretly replaced the Secret-Keeper with Peter, and that Peter was the Secret-Keeper?"

"Yes, and there is a great possibility that this idea came from Sirius Black. So when he was arrested, he did not argue or resist, and voluntarily let himself be taken to Azkaban."

Regulus fell silent after hearing Sebastian's words.

He sat there blankly, the cigarette in his hand flickering, just like his mood.

He never thought that the truth would be so complicated.

He also hadn't considered that Sirius would be willing to be imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years without any explanation.

To be honest, he and Sirius had never been close since they were little.

As brothers, they should be close to each other, but the reality is just the opposite.

Sirius hated the concepts of bloodline and family honor instilled in him by his parents since he was a child. After Regulus became a Death Eater, he was even more disdainful of his brother.

Regulus was also disappointed in his brother Sirius.

He felt that as the eldest son of the Black family, Sirius should have been the heir of the family and should have taken on family responsibilities, but he never really cared about the family.

He was unwilling to uphold the traditions and dignity of his family;

Unwilling to consider the family's future and survival;

I have never worried about family inheritance and responsibilities;

He didn't give a shit about it.

Because of this, the two had countless quarrels until they became strangers.

The conflict of ideas made Sirius choose to run away from home and exclude himself from the family without considering the feelings of his mother and father or the fate of his family.

Sirius believed that freedom and justice were supreme, but he never thought that before he was born, the Black family had lost the right to choose; before he was born, the Black family had boarded Voldemort's chariot.

The Black family had no choice.

Sirius' attitude made the Black family hated by Voldemort, and made other pure-blood families eyeing them covetously, wanting to exploit the Black family all day long.

If he openly opposed Voldemort again, the Black family would be destroyed.

When Regulus recognized Voldemort's true face, he fell into despair. At the same time, he also felt envy for Sirius's freedom and ease.

Seeing that the cigarette was about to burn his fingers, Regulus jumped out of his memories and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

He looked at Sebastian and said with a sigh.

"Even if he was wrongly accused, it was Sirius's own choice, wasn't it?"

"He considered himself the criminal who killed his brother's family. That's why he never said a word to defend himself."

"If he doesn't defend himself, who would think that he is innocent? Who would take the initiative to help him dig deeper into the truth?"

Regulus' voice was a little excited: "If he says one word in his defense, Dumbledore, his friend Lupin, and even I will believe him and help him collect evidence to clear his name."

"It's funny, maybe in his mind, except for his brother James, no one else is trustworthy."

"Except for his brother James, no one and nothing else matters."

"Heh..." Regulus sighed deeply, "He wants to catch Peter for revenge now, so let him figure it out on his own. I don't bother to care about him that much."

"Come on," Regulus said in a pretentious manner, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's just talk about work today."

"We at Wizard Films have completed the filming, editing and promotion of the first part of The Lord of the Rings. There will be a premiere on January 1st. Do you want to attend?"

ho-

After more than two years, the first Lord of the Rings movie is finally coming out.

Not easy!

As the first film released by The Witcher Films, Sebastian and Regulus were counting on "The Lord of the Rings" to completely establish the reputation of The Witcher Films.

The company is very supportive, and the director and actors are also very dedicated.

According to Sebastian, Peter Jackson has invested a lot of effort in this movie, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has worked hard.

Not only did he pay meticulous attention to details, he also personally participated in many aspects of the film's production.

From script adaptation to scene design, and even the sound effects and costume details, Jackson checked them one by one, striving to restore the world depicted in the book.

Sebastian had already seen the sample film sent by Regulus and found that the film's scenes were extremely grand and the production was extremely exquisite, not much different from the movies he had seen in his previous life.

"I won't be attending the premiere," Sebastian grinned, "but I will definitely take Mia to London to watch the movie."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "Our movie will surely be a global sensation."

After drinking a glass with Regulus, Sebastian instructed: "After the movie is successful, remember to release various entertainment peripherals at the same time."

"And we have to start building our magic park at the same time. There's a lot to do, so please take care of it."

Regulus smiled and said, "You damned capitalist, you only know how to use me like a beast of burden."

The two chatted and laughed, and kept discussing the details of various projects.

As the sky gradually darkened, Sebastian slowly stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Regulus.

He packed his belongings and was about to step out of the room when he heard Regulus's slightly low voice behind him.

"Sebastian, wait a moment." Regulus paused, as if choosing his words, before continuing, "If you have the chance, help Sirius."

"No matter what, he is still my brother."

His expression was extremely complicated, containing both unwillingness to express concern and an unconcealable helplessness.

"I know you two have a bad relationship, so I won't ask you for anything more. I just ask you to help him when you see him in danger, and don't let him die in vain."

Sebastian patted Regulus on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't let him die for your sake."

"By the way, after he is cleared of the charges, are you going to add him back to the family tree?"

"If he doesn't add the family tree back, he won't be able to return home and won't have any gold Galleons."

"Let him suffer a little," Regulus said through gritted teeth, "If he has no money to spend, he can go to work, make potions, or become a bounty hunter."

"He has been a playboy since he was young. It's time for him to learn to be self-reliant."

"When he understands what responsibility is and gets rid of his willful temper, I will add him back to the family tree."
