At the beginning of May, what Vivien Leigh had been fearing was finally inevitable.

As Rebecca analyzed, the palace minister and the viscount who had been exposed were wrapped up in the failed military nobles, claiming that Fei Wen Leigh had killed her eldest brother Aven, expelled Charlotte, and vainly attempted to negotiate with Dulaly and cede a large area of territory south of the Calvi Grand Canyon, resulting in the defeat of the Southern War.

With the defeat of Evan in the rescue of Lotsant, the death of Elbert in Erosa, the collapse of Fort Sava, the death of Lawrence, the unknown fate of Aven, the departure of Charlotte from Erosa, the defeat of the Southern Campaign not seen in decades, and the death of a large number of young and able-bodied people...... The events that erupted in January brought Clayderman's ruling authority to a freezing point.

As Cynthia expected, Erosa, who had been strong for decades under Lawrence's leadership, declined, and the ambitious military aristocracy feared their own crimes, causing the once uncrowned king of the North to fall to the brink of civil war in an instant.

Just one month after taking office, Vivien Leigh was faced with a disintegrated Erossa! For a while, the once proud and confident princess was knocked to the dust by the cold reality, and fell into self-doubt and despair!

On this day, Vivien Leigh had just finished discussing the state with Rebecca, and walked to her house in a groggy state. These days, she has been nervous, day and night without thinking about tea and dinner, her originally beautiful image seems to be sluggish, her blonde hair is weakly hanging on her shoulders, and the face of Fei Wenli who is full of tiredness is full of clothes, rubbing her eyebrows and thinking about her heart.

Now she is at the lowest point in her life, so much so that she has great doubts about her own abilities, she thinks that she does not have the strength to be a king, and the woman who once regarded the rules of chivalry as the norm has been beaten to the dust by reality.

Vivien Leigh trusted the ministers left behind by her father, even though she knew that they had their own selfish intentions, but she never considered that those military nobles would openly betray for the sake of ambition and evasion of responsibility. But reality gave her a hard slap in the face, which almost collapsed her outlook on life for more than 20 years.

These days she has been thinking that Lawrence once said that she and Charlotte were like flowers in a greenhouse, too delicate and kind to withstand the wind and rain. She used to think that Lawrence was making a big fuss, and she secretly disagreed with Lawrence's set of values in her heart, and only now does she know that her past self is living in a beautiful dream.

Now that her dreams were shattered, and her knightly faith that had sustained her for the past twenty-four years had almost collapsed, Vivien Leigh felt like an acrobat standing on a tightrope, flanked by bottomless cliffs, and when the wind of the Grand Canyon blew, her fragile faith on the tightrope would fall off the cliff and be shattered ever since.

Vivien Leigh was vaguely aware that if she took a step and let her faith fall, she would never be able to turn back, an abyss that would devour people's hearts and transform her into a monster beyond recognition.

But the inner ideal can't change the cruel reality, and Fei Wenli hovers on the edge of the ideal and reality all day long, like a lonely and wandering ghost at a loss. She could now relate to Charlotte's mood at noon, and her father was right, she and Charlotte were both flowers in a greenhouse, bathed in the sun and rain all day long, so that they became delicate, beautiful and gentle.

Now that they have left the greenhouse that sheltered them, the cruelty of nature reveals its coldness and moodiness, and Charlotte, who was lonely and ghostly at that time, must be located in the same cliff, entering the abyss and retreating from hell!

If you want to get it, you have to lose it, and Charlotte, as an observer, is faced with a desperate choice, so she will plunge into the sand like an ostrich, afraid to face the cruel reality.

The eldest brother Ai Wen is facing the cold and cruel reality, deciding to abandon his faith and fall into the abyss without hesitation, and is transformed into an unrecognizable monster by reality.

It's all like a curse and a reincarnation, leaving the famous three Northland siblings with no way to escape!

Vivien Leigh sat in the small courtyard, she waved away the maid, sometimes frowning, sometimes clenching her fists, sometimes smiling lightly, sometimes gritting her teeth as if fighting against the invisible monster. She is like a schizophrenic patient, but her beautiful face deduces all kinds of life.

She felt as if she had been carried into the environment of the cliff canyon by a sad flute, the sound of which was the cold, dry wind of the Grand Canyon, which made her sad and tearful eyes. Her soul drifted helplessly in the Grand Canyon, the sky was gloomy, the black clouds seemed to be overwhelmed by the huge roof, the whining wind under the abyss rolled upside down, and there seemed to be an invisible hand in the darkness, trying to drag her into the abyss.

Just when Vivien Leigh almost couldn't resist the temptation to plunge into the abyss, the wind suddenly stopped. Vivien Leigh in the courtyard fled from the illusion, staring ahead in a daze, her eyes unfocused. She felt a little itchy on her cheeks, as if some worm was crawling mischievously on her cheeks, so she rubbed it with her hand, only to realize that it was a cold teardrop that she had fallen.

Only then did she realize that the sound of the wind was actually the sound of a sad whistle coming from the courtyard next door. Vivien Leigh listened for a while, and seemed to hear a sigh from next door, and then she suddenly remembered that her nominal sister-in-law lived in the courtyard next door.

Cynthia Clegghorn has lived next door since the destruction of Savoie, and because of her recent official duties, Vivien Leigh suddenly realized that she had never cared about the feelings of her childhood friend these days.

Vivien Leigh must have been very depressed when she thought that Cynthia's own brother had been killed by his fiancée Avan, and now that Ewen had been expelled from Erosa.

Now that Erosa is in flames, Vivien Leigh is discouraged by a series of cruel realities, and when she thinks of Cynthia, she actually thinks of letting her escape her life no matter what. Clayderman already owed her a lot, at least, not to let her be buried with Clayderman.

As soon as she entered Cynthia's courtyard, she saw the former princess of the empire sitting on the railing of the long corridor of the house, holding an emerald flute in her hand, looking lonely at the moonlight in the sky.

Fei Wenli felt a pain in her heart, and the moonlight was like water on the flowers and plants in the courtyard, but it had a piercing coolness. This scene made Vivien Leigh feel extremely lonely, and she felt that Cynthia, soaked in the moonlight, had become pale and transparent, as if she would be blown away by the wind at any time.

"Sister Cynthia. Fei Wenli greeted cautiously, she was afraid that if she made a loud voice, she would blow through Cynthia's hazy figure, "It's too cold at night, you better go back to your room and rest first." ”

Cynthia, who was sitting on the railing of the promenade, only glanced at Vivien Leigh and looked at the bright moon without paying attention.

Vivien Leigh felt another pain in her heart, she couldn't understand why her childhood friends were strangers in a short period of time. Aven, Charlotte, Cynthia, Cecilia, Claire, Edie, and her Vivien Leigh, who had fought against a powerful enemy and entrusted them with life and death, even in the face of despair in the Endless Corridor...... No matter how desperate the situation was, they were overcome one by one by their strength and strong faith.

But now...... Vanish!

As Lawrence said to Charlotte and Fivien Leigh when he was in the water capital, the reason why Sava Fort never collapsed was not because the walls were strong, but because Clayderman worked together!

Thinking of that time, Vivien Leigh's tears couldn't help but fill her eyes again.
