Chapter 209: Bedtime Story
"What do you think of Cecilia? That child is beautiful, well-built, and capable, and her mother was chatting with me a while ago, saying that the child has been thinking about you!"
Charlotte didn't know how to answer Rebecca's temptation. He wanted to change the subject, but when he saw Rebecca's burning eyes, he knew that with his little care, he couldn't play Rebecca, who knew him very well.
"Ha, ha, all these years have passed, and I can't answer you when you suddenly say that...... After all, I'm at the most critical time in my spell practice, so I can't be distracted by anything else!" he decided to procrastinate.
"You said you liked Lord Sylvia at the Mizumi State Guesthouse, was that a joke?"
"That, that, of course it's a joke!" Charlotte broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes wandering, his face stiffened, and he tugged at his collar, "Ahhhh
He thought, he wasn't lying! At that time on the water, he really only thought of Sylvia as his sister and teacher!
“…… That's good. Even so, Rebecca had a hidden suspicion on her face. She secretly made up her mind to complete the wedding of all three children at once.
Charlotte wiped a cold sweat, he didn't have enough skills to think he had hidden from Rebecca, but he didn't know that his mother had already been blacklisted for forced marriage.
He began to continue to tell the story of his adventures over the years, this time he cut the content at length, and the arrogant lady of the Phantom Forest, Kathryn, was unfortunately changed by him into a muscular bald man (to paraphrase the red-robed mage template), even Nancy became Sylvia's brother who was about to enter the earth, and even the dwarven rune mage Miss Loran was changed by him to a strong and intelligent hairy male.
So much so that when she heard that at the end of the story, Teklin had inherited the throne of the King of the Molten Iron Castle and married Lorain, Rebecca interrupted Charlotte in surprise.
"Wait, wait, you mean, Teklin and Loraine, they two big men finally got married?!" Rebecca covered her mouth, and it seemed that the ending of the story had completely upended her three views!
"Ah......" Charlotte realized that she had made a mistake, but now she could only make a mistake, and Rebecca would not have sent someone to the dark underworld to confirm it anyway, "No, no, that's right! Is this strange? As far as I know, there are some perverts among the nobles who like it......"
"Yes!" Rebecca was still incredulous, "but no pervert would marry a man, let alone a pervert who is a king!
"Ah, this, this. Charlotte scratched her head and glanced up to the right, "Well, you don't know the custom of the Molten Iron Castle's muscular clubs, they think that the opposite sex is only for reproduction, and the same sex is true love!
Charlotte silently wished in her heart - I'm sorry, Brother Teklin, Miss Loran, and the loyal and powerful warriors of Molten Iron Keep, for the sake of my happiness, you can be wronged!
Although Rebecca was very suspicious, out of concern for her youngest son, she still nervously grabbed Charlotte's hand.
"Charlotte, don't you have any more contact with friends like that! No, he can't be your friend at all!"
"Don't-don't say that! Despite his strange interest, he can still live and die together at critical moments......" Charlotte was somewhat troubled, so she tried to glorify Tyclin as much as possible.
"But my Charlotte is so cute, when you treat him as a true friend, he may have been thinking about how to XXOO you!"
(Wait, wait, what did mom say, why was she blocked by Dianniang!)
"Ah...... Then I'll break up with him!"
- I'm sorry, brother! Charlotte whispered.
Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately asked nervously, "Charlotte, tell me honestly, do you have anyone you like, right?
"Ah, not for the time being......" Charlotte lied shamefully again, for he was afraid that Mrs. Rebecca would not be able to bear the ensuing hurt.
“…… Actually, girls are even cuter!" Rebecca patted Charlotte's hand with a gentle and kind expression.
“…… Yes!" Charlotte always felt that Rebecca had misunderstood.
The story of the dark underworld can only be told in one volume, even if Charlotte uses spring and autumn penmanship, it is already early in the morning.
Rebecca seemed to be in good spirits (or at least unable to sleep at all), but she lost interest in continuing to listen to Charlotte's recent story. She just listened to Charlotte's account of Lotsunte, and then forced a smile.
"That's it for today, it's not too early. Rest early, and tomorrow Mom will continue to hear your adventures. "She actually has the idea of trying to find a way to get him married as soon as possible.
She didn't want to see Charlotte one day holding a man who was five big and three thick, hooking the man's beard with her index finger, standing in front of her and saying, "Good, this is my mother, come, sweetheart~ Say hello to my mother!"
Thinking of that scene, Rebecca felt a little cramping in her heart and breathed a little hard, she pressed her chest and smiled at Charlotte, "What? You don't want to hear your mother tell you those stories about falling asleep, do you?"
As soon as she heard the story of falling asleep, Charlotte was shocked, "Don't! That story is so boring! It's so penetrating! There was a woodcutter who lived in the forest, and then he ......."
Rebecca finally smiled, she remembered the past, and told the story again.
One day he went out to chop wood, only to find that he could no longer find his way home. It turns out that a vicious witch has changed the terrain of the forest so that he will never find his home. So, the woodcutter came up with a way, and he used the pollen of the gold powder flower as a mark, and tried it path by path. He walked into the first path and found that it was wrong, so he followed the pollen back to the original path and tried the second path, and then he found that the second path was wrong again, so he followed the pollen back to the original point and tried the third path...... Then he realized that the fiftieth trail was wrong again, and he ......"
"Ahh
"But you have to admit that it is very hypnotic, isn't it?" Rebecca looked at Charlotte who was hugging her head and remembered how cute he was when she was a child, and covered her mouth and smiled, "This story was told to me by your father, who said that he used to listen to this story when he was a child! In other words, it's an old story from the Clayderman family......!
"Ha, ha," Charlotte laughed dryly, "what kind ......of ancestor would have come up with such a boring story of falling asleep...... Wait, wait, you mean, this story has been passed down from generation to generation!?"
Charlotte suddenly realizes that something is wrong!
If you think about it, Lu Sien has traveled back in time countless times to save Eleni, and he and Evan have reset time and space again and again to save Fei Wenli, isn't it just like that woodcutter who has returned to his place countless times, doing a never-ending cycle?! But what does 'going home' mean? Is there some other meaning? Or is it just a coincidence?
Charlotte realizes that he doesn't know as much about the Clayderman family as he thinks, and that there may be something hidden in the family's history. Those things may be crucial to the study of Destiny Coins!
"Well, what's wrong?" Rebecca asked nervously, too, as Charlotte's emotions were infected.
She didn't know any more, of course, and Charlotte soothed her mother and returned to her bedroom with her doubts.
However, just as Charlotte struggled with this bedtime story, the next day, an unbelievable event made him completely forget about today's struggle.
