"How?" Charlotte asked, expectantly. Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sylvia frowned slightly, savoring it, and for a long time, she shook her head in Charlotte's disappointed eyes, "It's still not good." ā
Charlotte's disappointment was palpable.
"Well, maybe that's because it's not a good thing to drink alone. Charlotte didn't know what she was thinking, why she would tirelessly persuade the girl to drink like a scumbag.
He swore that he didn't think anything about it, but there was a little uncontrollable anticipation in his heart.
Maybe it's because he wants to see more of Sylvia's expression, Sylvia when she tears, Sylvia when she blushes, Sylvia when she is drunk......
Even if it's Sylvia when he's angry, but he just doesn't want to see Sylvia with a blank face.
He remembered the scene he had seen many years ago when he first met Sylvia in the endless cloisters of Fort Savoie, sitting on a mahogany chair with a lazy golden cat in her arms, looking out at the night outside Fort Savoie like a delicate doll.
The puppet girl in the dark is lonely and lonely, without the slightest anger. Her icy lake-like eyes read all the vicissitudes of life, but nothing could settle into her heart, she was like a lonely caged bird, looking coldly at everything in the world in the birdcage she had constructed.
Sylvia was beautiful, but he didn't like it.
Charlotte called to her attendants, asked for a few more glasses of red wine, handed Sylvia one, and raised her glass.
"Cheers. Charlotte said with a drunken giggle.
Sylvia shook her head, "Don't drink any more, it's not good for you." ā
"Cheers!" Charlotte lowered her voice and said stubbornly, "Cheers!"
Sylvia didn't know what to think, but finally raised her goblet and touched Charlotte lightly.
After three glasses of wine, Charlotte's whole person felt a little light, and the Sylvia in front of her seemed to be as blurred as an afterimage. He shook his head, forced his attention, and said without words.
"I guess it must have been the bad atmosphere when my sister drank for the first time, which is why you didn't have the slightest interest in this world. ā
He didn't expect Sylvia to answer, but to his surprise, Sylvia stared at the red wine in the glass, and there was a trace of trance in her originally calm and indifferent eyes.
"Maybe you're right. Sylvia's voice was a little ethereal, I wonder if it was Charlotte's drunken auditory hallucinations, "The first time I drank was in the restaurant at Fort Savoie, me, Claudine, Emmanuel...... and Lu Sien and Iger. ā
"Heh!Lusen!" Charlotte crossed her hands behind her head, curled up in the couch, and snorted lazily, "That high-spirited man!"
"Spirited......" Sylvia sipped her wine for the first time without persuasion, "I don't think he's a high-spirited man, rather, I've never seen him in high spirits." For as long as I can remember, he has always looked slightly frowned, with a look of madness and melancholy. ā
"He taught me that mages need to learn restraint and that alcohol is the enemy of mages. Sylvia sipped again, letting the bitterness and slightly sweet liquor bloom on her taste buds, "but he himself was always drunk." ā
"Huh, a man who looks different from the outside!" Charlotte snorted.
"Yes, but this man who is different from the outside has said the same thing to you, and he says that life that is too sober is too painful, so he likes the taste of wine. "Because wine is like life, sweet, bitter and full of flavors. In the end, it will be like a raging fire, burning everything in people. ā
"This guy can say something interesting once in a while!" Charlotte was like an awkward child, and Sylvia belittled Rusin whenever she mentioned it.
A smile suddenly bloomed on Sylvia's beautiful face, her cheeks were slightly red under the influence of alcohol, and she was incredibly beautiful, and her smile seemed to have some childish mischief in it.
"Do you know when I last saw this man you occasionally talked about?"
"I don't know!" Charlotte's thinking was almost stagnant at the moment, where was the afterglow of thinking. He shook his head without hesitation, "I don't want to know either." ā
But Sylvia ignored Charlotte's answer, and her red lips spat out a sensational fact, "It was Castle Sava twenty-one years ago." ā
"So what......"
Charlotte, who had been lazy, said this, and suddenly bounced off the couch, and he stammered and pointed at Sylvia and said, "Twenty-one years ago?!
The noise of the surrounding whispers suddenly stopped because of Charlotte's actions, and the ladies looked at Charlotte in surprise.
In this strange atmosphere, Sylvia nodded slightly, "That's right. Twenty-one years ago, when your mother conceived you. In the endless cloisters of Fort Savoie, in the wonderful dreams that Lusen weaves himself. Emmanuel and I met the Lord of Time whose body was dead, the Lord of Time whose soul was in tatters. ā
"It's funny, the once famous existence is gradually decaying in the illusion of self-weaving. Emmanuel and I have been looking for him for thousands of years, but we have only found this ending. Sylvia continued, "Do you know what decision Emanuel and I made later?"
"What decision?"
"Because he freezes his time, the root does not turn his soul into chaos. So Emmanuel and I decided to take his soul out and throw him into the fetal body of our own bloodline. Sylvia recounted, "Although only Emmanuel escaped the rampage's endless corridor, he succeeded in the end. ā
"It's just that His Majesty Emmanuel didn't expect that year, Lu Sien's blood descendants would be two twins, right?" Charlotte asked in a dry tone.
"That's right. Sylvia nodded, "So that's why I treated you differently in the first place, otherwise why do you think I would teach you spells." ā
Charlotte finally suddenly.
No wonder Sylvia was trapped in the Endless Corridor, no wonder she treated herself differently, no wonder she was not surprised that the Book of Etroac had been awakened by herself. Because she knew everything from the beginning, from the beginning, she only saw herself as the reincarnation of Lu Sien.
"Oh! I see!" Despite being in the warm salon, Charlotte felt cold all around him, he felt like a clown, or a puppet, and the trajectory of his life had been set since he was a fetus.
The fear of being dominated by strange souls and indulging in false love dominated him, making him fearful, lonely, and angry like a loner sunk into the depths of the sea......
"So, everything is fake! My existence, my mind, my gifts, all the care I enjoy are fake!, right!!" Charlotte clenched her fists in both hands, her teeth clattering, "All you care about is the man on top of you, and Iā"
"Not really. Sylvia suddenly grabbed Charlotte's hand, "I never cared about Lu Sien, the reason why I looked for him, now that I think about it, maybe it's just to give back." But you're different, I'm ...... I don't want you to learn temporal spells, and I don't want you to be Lusen. ā
"Sister, sister......" Charlotte's eyes widened.
"I want you to always be Charlotte and nothing else. The icy lake in Sylvia's eyes melted, and at that moment, Charlotte swore that what she saw in her eyes was a deep concern.
Charlotte lowered her head, her hands over her face, her voice muffled as dry as something in her throat.
As if the poor fellow who had sunk into the deep sea and was abandoned by the whole world, he saw a glimmer of light, and Charlotte opened her eyes to see the gentle surface of the lake where the frost melted in the spring.
"Really, you don't want to say something like that when you're cold about everything!" Charlotte choked up, something warm oozing from between her fingers, "This doesn't match your image at all, it's, it's too touching!
"Don't worry. Sylvia reached out and stroked Charlotte's short silver hair, her voice cold but firm, "As long as you promise me that I will never compromise with Lusen, I promise you that I will never let that undead take possession of your everything." ā
Charlotte shrugged her nose, her constant fear finally giving vent to her fear, and she opened her hand, the alcohol making him do something he would never dare to do.
He hugged Sylvia, holding back her tears so that tears did not seep out of her eyes.
"I, Sister Sylvia, I, I'm scared, I don't want to be Lusen!"
Sylvia, who was hugged, tilted her head slightly, her expression stunned.
After a long time, she reached out her index finger and touched her cheek, and found that the scallops, which were always cold, were bursting with hot temperature......
Her eyes widened, realizing that her heart was beating faster than she had ever done before......
She opened her lips slightly, sensing that her body was trembling uncontrollably......
She lowered her head, rested her perfect cheek on Charlotte's shoulder, reached out and gently hugged Charlotte with trembling and hesitation.
"It's so warm...... she closed her eyes gently, her slightly curled eyelashes trembled, and the snow melted on her cold face, revealing a beautiful, gentle, and happy smile.
