The summer evening breeze blows through the trees, making the lush foliage rattle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs you walk through the Champs-Élysées paved with tiny sunset dots, a sturdy silver-plated steel fence comes into view. A gold nameplate is posted on the silver-plated fence, which is the Champs estate belonging to the Claydermann family.

Lolita and Vivien are the last to be led by Vivien Leigh past Claudien's fountain statue and through the winding, greenery of the manor's courtyard. Along the way, from time to time, attendants and maids in uniform bowed to several people. Lolita therefore looked to Vivien, reverie about her dreams of building such an exquisite manor in the future, of course, she did not know that the cost of this manor alone was far more than that of ordinary mages.

When the velvety and elegant building appeared in front of him, Aven was already standing in front of the door painted with a bright yellow primer. The young man with long black hair had a gentle smile on his face, he was slender and dressed in a white trimmed aristocratic attire, as calm and elegant as ever.

Behind him, a middle-aged butler in a black tuxedo, meticulously combed with silver-white hair and a pigtail at the back of his head, with deep and masculine features, stood respectfully behind him. The master and servant adhered to the etiquette of the nobility, and showed the essence and demeanor of the thousand-year-old nobles to the two apprentices who met the Grand Duke of Erosa for the first time.

Comparatively......

Lolita looked at the exaggerated smile of the teacher in front of her, who was also the Grand Duke and a thousand-year-old nobleman, with her hands outstretched and her teeth exposed, and she always felt a sense of frustration of being defeated.

"You're finally back, Charlotte!"

"Of course, my brother summoned me, how could I not come back!

"Ahh

In Vivien Leigh's surprised voice, the two siblings, who had grown into young adults, first looked at each other carefully, and then hugged each other with a gentle and unrestrained smile.

At the moment when the head and ear met, Charlotte said in a voice so small that only the two of them could hear.

"There is no denial, my dear brother. ”

"Even if you deny it, Charlotte's intelligence will doubt it one day. I'm sorry...... Can you come to my study tonight, there are some things I want to talk to you about. ”

"I can't ask for it, but I also have a lot of things I want to ask you!"

In fact, if you think about it now, a long time ago, there were many doubts about the phenomenon of space-time reset.

At that time, Charlotte was still immersed in the joy of getting the golden finger, so she subconsciously ignored some details. For example, why the space-time reset does not work from time to time, and for example, when he was in Santos Town, after each space-time reset occurred, there would be some subtle changes, such as Aven's demeanor and expression.

Why, if you think about it now, in the small town of Santos, when Charlotte says they're being hunted, Evan believes him unconditionally?

As the next Grand Duke of Erosa, Evan is by no means such an unassertive person, and if there is no sufficient evidence, even if he is his own sibling, Evan will never trust him unconditionally.

After eliminating all impossible factors, no matter how incredible the remaining one is, it can't change the truth of the facts! The answer to all this is that Evan also knows all about the phenomenon of space-time reset, and even knows more than himself!

When she realized this, it was only natural that Charlotte would say such tentative things to Aven. In the same way, Evan sent a letter to Charlotte, how could it not be a temptation for Charlotte?

When the two brothers met after eight years, the first sentence was an unsettling verbal exchange. To tell the truth, before opening her mouth to test it, Charlotte also thought about whether it was really good to do this, wouldn't it damage the brotherhood between the two? Even if she was as big as Charlotte, she couldn't help but doubt her choice.

But fortunately, Evan did not pretend to be stupid and denied it, but calmly admitted Charlotte's suspicions. In this way, the brothers have a minimum basis for conversation - that is, honesty.

Under the arrangement of the butler Abraham, the group was placed in a room that matched their status. In the meantime, he methodically instructed the cook to prepare a sumptuous dinner for tonight.

Charlotte remembers this meticulous middle-aged man, who was about 8 years old, and this aristocratic man who had exhausted his family property because of a failed business chose to come to Savoie Fort to work as an attendant. Because of his aristocratic status and conscientious attitude, he soon gained the trust of Lawrence and Lady Rebecca. For a while, Charlotte wondered where this man had gone, but she didn't expect that he had been appointed to the Champs estate as the head of the house.

It was 8 p.m., and Charlotte, who hadn't seen her relatives for a long time, was constantly competing with the gluttonous Vivien Leigh for food, just like she had done when she was a child. Thinking back to the delicate appearance of this gluttonous girl who has grown into an eighteen-year-old girl fighting at the dinner table, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems like you're having a good time, Your Highness Charlotte. Then, the contemptible person will not disturb your rest. If you have any needs, please ring the bell in your room and we will do our best to accommodate all your needs. ”

After dinner, Abraham, the butler, carefully led him to the room where he had lived as a child, and when Charlotte opened the door, she found that the furniture and furnishings had not changed at all as before. Such small details that make people full of warmth make Charlotte have a good impression of this man.

It's no wonder that both Lawrence and Mrs. Rebecca trust this dedicated butler.

"Thank you, well, if I'm not mistaken, you should be called Abraham, right? ”

"That's my pleasure, my little master. ”

Abraham bowed his head and exited the room. His last salutation perfectly demonstrates his emotional intelligence, and Charlotte's last hint of strangeness to the estate dissipates. Charlotte, who sat in a rattan chair, flipped through the books she had read when she was a child, and felt as if time had never passed.

When the antique pendulum clock outside the hallway rang nine times, Charlotte neatly inserted the book into the shelf. He looked at Elle, who was lying on the bed and falling asleep because she was tired, and carefully covered her with a thin quilt and left the room lightly.

Walking through the hallway hung with famous paintings and magical perpetual lights, Charlotte gently pushed open the door to her study.

It is a room of about 8 square meters, and the study is lined with brown bookshelves on both sides, which contain various books from the Clayderman family. Behind the bright yellow desk in front of him, Aven was playing with a gold pocket watch with a silver chain in one hand and flipping through the accounts on the desk with the other. A sparkling black tea emitted a hot aroma, and when Evan saw Charlotte, he immediately stood up and methodically made tea for Charlotte.

"That's free, you know, I've never been a fan of black tea!"

"Do you need Abraham to serve you something else? There's a drink named The Wizard of Oz that is very popular with Vivien Leigh, but everyone but her can't stand the overly cool taste. Maybe you'll want to try it too?"

He didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer Charlotte's questions, but instead kept his aristocratic demeanor and introduced Charlotte to the drinks of Champs Manor.

"No, you know, I'm most annoyed by aristocratic etiquette. Aven, I guess in front of me, you don't have to live that tired. ”

"Uh, hehe, you've noticed it. Alright, my dear brother, please sit down first, and I will answer your doubts one by one. On the other hand, please don't hold back, after all, I have a lot of questions about you. ”

After hearing Charlotte's words, Evan was visibly stunned for a moment. He then quickly relaxed in his mahogany chair and motioned for Charlotte to sit down at the table. When the two of them took their seats, Ai Wen first took a sip of black tea, and then said with a slight frown.

"Well, where do you start? Ah, by the way, your biggest concern is, of course, the so-called space-time reset. That's right, not only can you feel the changes in the world line, but I can also remember the same changes clearly. ”

Charlotte had to admit that for a moment a trace of anger grew in her heart, Charlotte looked at Evan in front of her, and blurted out an irrepressible voice.

"Sure enough, but you never talked to me, not even ...... Deliberately hiding it from me! To be honest, it makes me feel like a ridiculous clown in front of you!

Charlotte has always thought that the time and space reset is her unique ability, and in order to save the three siblings and her companions, he has been struggling in countless reincarnations, delusionally trying to change the tragic ending with his own power!

"Of course not!"

It could be seen that Evan really cherished his affection with Charlotte, and he nervously held Charlotte's hand and said to him with sincerity.

"I'm sorry I hid all this! But you don't know how panicked I was, when I got this pocket watch by accident, when I always had strange memories in my head, when I wondered about my existence! I was terrified! I was afraid that people would find out that I was an anomaly, and I was afraid that you and Vivien Leigh would think that I wasn't Evan at all, but someone else!

"I'm a coward! I'm not a good brother! But I'm really scared, scared, and hesitant......"

Evan lowered his head, and Charlotte could feel the hand he held trembling slightly, and a few tears splashed from the shadow of his head hanging down onto the desk. This made him realize for the first time the vulnerability of this man, that he might not be as perfect and calm as he appeared, that he would be equally afraid, that he would be afraid, that he would be confused......

"Now, the situation is getting worse...... Every time I use a pocket watch, trying to tamper with the world line at the source of fraud, my mind becomes more and more trance-like. Vivien Leigh died in front of me again and again, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not change the outcome of that tragedy!

He looked up, and Charlotte noticed a glimmer in his teardropping blue pupils.

"Charlotte, please tell me! I am your brother Aven...... Or the legendary Lord of Time, Lu Sien......"

"W-what!"

His words brought Charlotte's mind to a momentary standstill!
