Sunday, April 20, 1930, Easter Sunday, Munich, Germany.

This day was supposed to commemorate the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, who was crucified to save all living beings. However, under the impact of an economic crisis that has swept the world, no one in the country, from senior government officials to ordinary people, celebrates this important religious holiday. As for the elaborate depictions of easter eggs and items decorated with jumping cute bunnies, no one cares.

"Ricky, Ricky! Where are you!? "On a cool night like water, a rapid exclamation pierced the silence of a certain manor, and it made people's hearts beat like a fluttering rabbit sung by this day, panic.

Eric didn't care to rub his sleepy eyes, hurriedly put on his coat and hurriedly got up from the bed, pushed the door open and ran straight to the next bedroom, he stood at the door and knocked lightly on the door, and then entered the room and turned on the lights.

In the huge room, large and small household items were messily placed around, and the walls emitted a pungent musty smell. A woman in a beige silk nightdress was curled up in the futon and shivering, her turquoise eyes wide and round, revealing a panicked gaze through the strands of hair on her scattered cheeks.

"Mom, are you having nightmares again?" Eric sat on the edge of the bed, gently hugged the woman, patted her back with his right hand, and comforted her softly, "Please rest assured, I have always been here, I will not go anywhere......"

The woman hugged the broad chest tightly and choked up: "Lie to me, you lie to me again!" I distinctly hear the key turning the keyhole, you actually just came back, right? She paused, slammed the person in front of her, and screamed, "Blame him, blame him!" If he doesn't die, if he dies, why did our mother and son fall to this? I finally raised you as an adult, and for the past sixteen years, I have counted on you to ...... How much have I suffered and how many sins have I suffered for this!? ”

If he doesn't die, if he dies...... Who are these two "hes"? The seemingly strange and contradictory words couldn't help but make Eric confused while enduring the raindrops on his chest. But after a moment's thought, he understood who his mother was referring to.

After a long time, the woman finally quieted down and sobbed, "What to do, what to do?" Now, your father's legacy, which has been dead for three years, is getting smaller and smaller, so that we will not survive the end of this year! Do you know that the economy is in recession, the industry is struggling, and you can't find a decent job. I'm so scared that our mother and son will eventually have to sell this manor and beg on the streets......"

Eric clutched his coat pocket, listened to his mother's complaints, and remained silent. When the other party was crying helplessly again, he leaned close to his mother's ear and whispered, "Or...... I'm going to look for my brother at the castle in a few days? Now that he has inherited the title, he should have a rich family property. As long as he gives us a few Rembrandt works, the money after the auction will be enough for us to last for two or three years......"

"Shut up! You must not look for him! Before the words fell, the woman's sensitive nerves had been deeply touched. She immediately twisted Eric's arm so hard that he frowned in pain. But he just gritted his teeth, clenched his hands, and didn't snort.

"Silly boy, how do you know what your brother is?" The woman seemed to have no idea that Eric was enduring the pain in her arm, and gently stroked his soft short hair with one hand, and muttered, "He used such a despicable method to seize power." What's even more infuriating is that your father made me swear in front of the idol in front of the god that I would not reveal the truth to anyone in my life...... But it's okay to leave there, it's not a blessing. She bit her lip and laughed miserably at Eric.
