After a short drive along the road, you enter an open area. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the side of the road are gentle hills that separate the road from Lake Lagudorian, which is Torristeen on the other side.

As the peasant soldier said, the water level of Lake Lagudorian has indeed risen.

The shore of the lake is not visible, the water has already submerged some of the nearby hills, and you can clearly see the flowers and plants that have been submerged by the clear water, and even some roofs can be seen in the water.

"It's really hard to get by, even the house is flooded," said Turuk, looking out the window, and then asked, "Is your house in this area?"

Tabasa closed the book and looked out the window.

"It's almost there. ”

Tabasa spoke for the first time since he got into the carriage. However, it was silent again.

Boredom, Churuk was lying out the window looking at the scenery when a sign suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.

"Huh?

Truuk leaned out of the window, and saw the sign.

Two crossed staffs, and the inscription "Forward, Forward" is written.

This is the coat of arms of the royal family of Garia.

Churuk looked at Tabasha in disbelief.

"Tabasha, are you supposed to be ...... A member of the royal family of Garia?"

Tabasha was silent.

After about ten minutes, I finally saw the house of the Tabasa family, an old but magnificent mansion.

Seeing the coat of arms of the royal family of Garia engraved on the door, Churuk couldn't help but gasp.

"Sure enough......"

However, when I looked closer, I saw a scar on the coat of arms. This is a mark that represents shame.

It also shows that although the family is a royal family, the rights of the royal family are deprived.

The carriage stopped at the gate, and an old servant came and opened the door of the carriage and saluted Tabassa respectfully.

"Miss Tabasa, welcome back. ”

[No one else came out to greet you, it was really a deserted welcome ceremony]

Churuk thought so as he got out of the carriage. , the man was guided by the old servant to the living room in the house.

The interior of the house is very neat and chic, but it is very quiet and lifeless.

It's like a temple where a funeral ceremony is being held.

Churuk, sitting on the sofa in the living room, said to Tabasa.

"Let's say hello to Ling Zun first. ”

Tabassa shook his head, said wait here, and left the living room.

When Truuk, who had been left behind, was bored, the old servant came in and put wine and snacks in front of him.

Instead of touching those things, Churuk asked him directly.

"This villa seems to have a lot of origin, but it feels like there's no one else here but you. ”

The old servant bowed respectfully.

"I'm Berluslan, who is the housekeeper of the Aurure family, and I'm very abrupt, are you a friend of Miss Charlotte?"

Truuk nodded.

"Charlotte of the Olulian family, that's Tabasa's real name. ”

Orulian, Orulian, Churuk kept thinking about the name, and suddenly remembered. Speaking of Aurulian, isn't he the younger brother of the king of Flairia, and why doesn't he hang the coat of arms of the king's brother's house, but hangs the mark of shame at the door?

"Looks like you're a foreigner. Excuse me, can I ask your name?"

"Von Shelupst of Garumania, what kind of family is this? Why did Tabassa use a pseudonym to study abroad, and why didn't that kid tell me anything?"

After hearing this series of questions, the old servant sighed sadly

"Does she use the name 'Tabasa', I see, Miss, she has never brought a friend to this villa, if it is someone whom Miss trusts, then there is no problem. Let me tell Miss Sherupst the truth. ”

After Berluslan bowed deeply

"This villa is actually a prison. ”

Tabasa knocked on the door of one of the deepest rooms in the villa, but there was no response, which was a common occurrence.

For nearly five years, the owner of this room has never responded to a knock on the door.

Tabasa was only 10 years old at the time.

Tabasa opened the door.

What catches your eye is a room that is very different from the interior of the villa.

There are only beds, tables, and chairs in the room. Nothing else.

The cool breeze blows from the open windows, and the curtains sway in the breeze.

The owner of this room, which has nothing, senses that someone has intruded into his world.

He hugged the baby-like doll in his hand tightly.

It was a thin woman, and her originally beautiful face was haggard because of the disease.

She should be around 35-40 years old, but looks 20 years older than her actual age.

Childlike frightened eyes looked at Tabasa through his stray hair.

Tremblingly asked.

"Who is it?"

Tabassa approached the woman and bowed her head deeply.

"I'm back, Mom. ”

However, the woman in front of her did not recognize Tabasa as her daughter.

Not only that, but she also said coldly to Tabasa.

"Stand down, impudent, you're a spy sent by the royal family, you want to snatch Charlotte from me, how can I possibly hand over the lovely Charlotte to you!"

Tabasa remained motionless and continued to keep his head down in front of his mother.

"It's terrible, who the hell said that, saying that this kid will covet the throne one day, I've had enough of the dirty palace fights!

Mom picked up the glass on the table and threw it at Tabasa.

Tabasa didn't dodge, and the glass hit her in the head and fell to the floor.

Mom kept rubbing the face of the puppet she was holding in her hand.

Probably because this action has been done many times, the cloth on the puppet's face has been worn out, revealing cotton.

A sad smile appeared on Tabassa's face, and it was only in front of her mother that she showed this expression, and it was the only one.

"Those who killed your husband and turned you into this, one day I will return with their heads and set them before you, and until that day comes, please pray that the puppets you gave to your daughter will continue to deceive the enemies. ”

The wind blowing from the window shook the curtains. It's early summer, but the wind blowing from the lake makes it cold.

"Victims of the struggle for inheritance?"

Truuk asked rhetorically.

Berluslan nodded

"Yes, it has been 5 years since the death of the first king five years ago, and the first king has left two princes, one is the eldest son who has now ascended the throne - His Royal Highness Joseph, and the other is Miss Charlotte's father, the second son - Duke Orrayan. ”

"That kid is really a royal family."

"However, His Royal Highness Joseph is a mediocre man without the qualifications of a king, and the Duke of Orrean, as the second son of the royal family, is also the beginning of his misfortune.

As the talents and popularity of the Duke of Orrayan matured, many people who supported him plotted to bring the Duke of Orrayan to the throne, so the palace was divided into two factions and launched an ugly power struggle.

In the end, Duke Orlian was murdered.

During the hunt, he was pierced in the chest by a poisoned arrow, and in this country, the nobler than anyone else in this country, the Duke of Orrayan, was killed not by magic, but by the lowly poisoned arrow, and his remorse and anger are hard for us to imagine.

However, the unfortunate events are far from over. ”

Berluslan continued in a voice that looked as if something was choking in his chest.

"The people who put His Royal Highness Joseph on the throne have moved their next target to Mademoiselle, and they want to cut down the grass and eradicate it.

The men summoned Madame and Mademoiselle to the palace and entertained them with a feast, but they poisoned Madame's food, and Madame sensed this, and in order to protect Mademoiselle, she ate the poisonous food, which was the poison of water magic that would make people lose their minds.

Since then, Madame has gone mad. ”

Turuk listened to the old servant's words in a daze, speechless in shock.

From that day on, the young lady lost her words and expressions. Miss Charlotte, who had been lively and cheerful, seemed to have changed as if she had sealed her words and expressions.

After Madame's incident, no one wanted to take Charlotte's life directly, on the contrary, the Wang family asked her to complete a very difficult task that was almost impossible to survive on the grounds that she was magically powerful.

However, the eldest lady solved that task perfectly.

But the royal family still has a grudge against such a young lady.

Originally, this merit could have been given by the territory, but they only conferred the title of 'knight' (Survalier) on the young lady and allowed her to study abroad.

and locked up the mentally ill lady in this house, which sounds good is actually throwing off the burden. ”

Beluslan, who seemed a little angry, bit his lip.

"And then! every tricky, dirty work in the palace!

A girl whose father was killed and her mother driven mad was called like a cow and a horse by her enemies!

I don't know what could be more tragic than this, how can people be so cruel?"

At this time, Churuk knew the reason why Tabassa did not speak, and also knew the reason why she received the title of 'knight'.

In the carriage, Tabasa kept looking at the same page for reasons too.

Yukikaze, that's her nickname.

The bitter cold snow wind has been blowing in her heart, and it hasn't stopped until now.

This feeling of cold helplessness was unimaginable in Churuk.

"Mademoiselle calls herself 'Tabasa', that's what you said, right?"

"Yes. ”

"In the past, Madame was a very busy person every day, but Miss She did not lose her cheerful personality because of this, in fact, Miss is quite lonely.

One day, Madame gave Miss a doll, which was a doll that Madame took time out of her busy schedule to go to the city to choose for Mademoiselle, not to mention how happy she was at that time!

Now, the doll is in the hands of Madame, and the insane Madame firmly believes that the doll in her hand is Miss Charlotte. ”

Churuk was taken aback.

"'Tabassa,' that's the name that the young lady gave to her puppet. ”

Just then the door opened, and Tabassa walked in.

Truuk sorted out his mood and stepped forward with a smile.

"Really, it's too slow, Tabasha, anyway, wash your hands after your trip!"

Tabarsha nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At night.

In a corner of the academy, the iron basin that was brought by Chenxing during the day was placed here, and below it was a burning kang filled with hot water and the bodies of two red fruits.

"Phew!"

Chenxing closed his eyes comfortably, with an expression of enjoyment, and the talented people on the other side were enjoying the warmth just like him.

"Ah~~~ came back to life. ”

Only then did he let out a refreshed **.

"Sure enough, Japanese people should still take a bath. ”

"Although I'm not Japanese, I want to say that the bath is really very comfortable, and the fatigue of my whole body is soaked away," Chenxing poured water on his head, and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Chenxing, how did you come to this world, and what is the power in you?" asked the man.

"Well, that's ......"

Then Chenxing told the talented people about his own experience, most of the novels he saw on the Internet changed and then put them on his head, what game is to be struck by lightning, and then crossed the other world to meet the white-bearded grandfather, and then obtained a special ability (golden finger) and the like, the talented people who listened to it were stunned.

"Your experience is truly amazing," the genius exclaimed.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

After chatting for a while taking a bath, Chenxing sensed that someone was approaching from the bioradar, carefully identified the mental fluctuations, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Talented, I'll go first. ”

Chenxing started from the basin, picked up the towel that had been placed aside and began to wipe his body.

"Huh, don't you want to soak in it for a while?" the man looked at Chenxing in shock.

"No, I still have some things to do, let's go clubbing next time," Chenxing got dressed, waved his hand at Cairen, and walked away.

Cairen continued to bathe alone, but it didn't take long for a surprised voice to come.

"Mr. Cairen?"

When he looked up, he saw Shesta standing in front of the basin with a plate and looking at him.
