Groping in the dark forest, unable to distinguish between the way to come and the way, there seems to be a devouring monster lurking in the darkness, waiting for passers-by who are lost in the darkness to throw themselves into the net.

Charlotte's every step forward was extremely difficult, but when she turned back, she could no longer see the way she came, so she had to keep going. Gradually, the sparse moonlight formed faint rays through the gaps, and it was not so difficult to walk by the faint light, but with the light was more terrifying than the complete darkness of the forest, and the shadows of the trees were heavy in the dusk moonlight, and the branches twisted and swayed wantonly made people dare not look closely, for fear of seeing anything.

Charlotte walked faster and faster, she held her breath for fear of alarming the occupants here, the thought of possibly encountering wild beasts, Charlotte's legs were weak with fear, she was just a little girl who was powerless, she usually liked to read books, people were a little arrogant, but she hadn't done anything harmful, right? Why did God leave her in this horrible forest? Now the family must be looking for me everywhere, the Duke of Windsor's soldiers know where they are lost, they should be able to find me, right? But what if I walked in the dark for so long, what if I got farther and farther away from the meadow?

Stupid Windsor! Why haven't you found me yet? If I don't come again, I should be eaten by monsters, and let him regret it when the time comes!

As soon as you are scared, you start thinking cranky, this should be Miss Charlotte's unique way of decompressing......

Under the dense forest, the lively thin forest during the day became quiet, and a sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night. In terms of direction, only the Duke of Windsor is on the right track, and the others are destined to find Charlotte at dawn.

No matter how anxious and crazy the people looking for her were, Charlotte could only rely on her own strength at this time. A fork in the road in front of her stumped Charlotte, she didn't remember that there was a fork in the road when she came, but now there are obviously two roads, she must have gone wrong, this is definitely not the way back, one road is gray to the end, and the other road has a glittering fire, there is a fire! Could it be that my father and Windsor have found me? Charlotte excitedly ran towards the bright end, shouting,

"Father! Father, here I am! Come on! Hurry up! ”

Charlotte didn't know that from the time she stepped into this road, it turned out that Charlotte's fate trajectory had changed, and her life was destined to a dazzling ending, just like this road at this time, although the road was full of bumps and thorns, but the end of the road must be dazzling and bright.

The head flickered, but no one responded to Charlotte, and the firelight still showed no sign of moving, Charlotte noticed something strange, and hurriedly stopped, held her breath, did not dare to act rashly, and looked carefully at the light source, what she thought was a torch that was nothing more than a half-man's tall grass, which glowed orange in the night, like a torch that had been lit. It turned out to be fluorescent plants, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, since these grasses were so cute and lit up to send her home, she had to accept it gladly.

The Duke of Windsor did not expect that Rochester would be ruthless to Charlotte, and the secret agents in the palace reported that there was a portrait of Charlotte hanging in Rochester's dormitory, which was painted vividly, and every day Rochester had to stare at Charlotte's portrait for a long time before he was willing to go to court to discuss politics, and Windsor judged that Charlotte must be unusual in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, so what happened to this disappearance?

Hope is just a simple disappearance, if it is the king's hand, then Charlotte is afraid this time, Windsor dare not think about it, he regrets that he is so careless, his subordinates said that it was the queen's palace to move the hand and only took care of himself, ignoring Charlotte, Windsor blamed Charlotte's disappearance on his own head, his heart was full of guilt, and he was even more anxious to find Charlotte.

"Charlotte! Miss Charlotte! Charlotte, where are you! ”

The Duke of Windsor shouted Charlotte's name loudly despite the danger, and no one dared to stop him from doing so, and everyone could see that the Duke of Windsor was like a balloon, on the verge of exploding, and no one dared to do this. Mr. Lucas was encouraged to stop thinking about danger and to shout Charlotte at Windsor.

When night fell, Lydia sat at the table waiting for her husband and daughter to have dinner, and for the last time she had dinner at the Golden Manor, Lydia chose the location in the conservatory in the center of the garden, where she wanted to enjoy a picnic meal with her family.

Through the glass roof, you can see the stars on the deep blue sky, a crescent moon quietly guarding people, the fragrance of flowers lingering in the room, the white candles burning quietly, and the quiet flower room only has the sound of Ye Huasheng's development.

Lydia's face was heavy, and every minute she had to ask the servant Charlotte if they had returned, and each time the answer was no. A candle burned out, and the servant came up to replace it with a new one, and this servant had just been transferred to work beside the master, and for the first time he saw that the master was in a bad mood, and his heart was nervous, and his hands kept trembling, and he didn't light it for a long time, and Lydia couldn't help but scold,

"Didn't eat? Go down! ”

Lydia's eyes are big, and she is very intimidating when she stares loudly, even Mr. Lucas is afraid of her like this, not to mention the servants who serve here, Cinderella buried her head deeply, and Katie was also startled when she heard her mother's voice, but she was used to it, and she was reprimanded by her mother a lot, and she didn't really treat her any time, after all, she was biological, Katie wasn't very afraid of Lydia in her heart, seeing Cinderella's cowering appearance, Katie wanted to bully her again,

"Servants are so stupid, Cinderella, you are much smarter than them, kind, you can light that candle for them."

Cinderella looked up at Lydia, Lydia didn't seem to hear anything, and refused to give her a look, Cinderella knew that Lydia had always cared about her own business, and like Charlotte, her mother was always so proud, she disdained to abuse herself, and was not ashamed of hypocrisy, but demonstrated to her dead mother by free-range herself, such Lydia made Cinderella very painful, and she could only remind her father that Lydia was a stepmother every day by making herself very pitiful, I am afraid that under Lydia's deliberate dilution, the busy father will forget himself and his mother. Sometimes she is even grateful to Katie, it is because of her constant provocation that she has a sense of presence in her father, although her father will not help her, but as long as there is a little care, Cinderella feels that it is worth being bullied.

"Hurry up! Don't bother, after a while, my father and the Duke of Windsor will come back, if the Duke of Windsor thinks we are rude, you can make amends yourself, don't bother us. ”

Katie couldn't get used to Cinderella's appearance of enduring humiliation and burdening everything, and blurted out unpleasant words, Cinderella had long been accustomed to Katie's bad words, and still refused to light the candle with trembling ropes, and told her to do the work of the servants in private, and everyone let her do the work of the servants, which was clearly not to regard her as the master of the house, and she was resolutely not allowed to do it.

Katie is so angry that she is dying,

"Cinderella, you dare to ignore me? Don't forget who is the real hostess in this house! ”

A trace of pain flashed in Cinderella's eyes when she heard this, she was right, the mistress of the Lucas family was no longer a mother.

"Katie, we are both father's daughters, and even if you are an older sister, you can't command me."

Cinderella's words fell down angrily, the sister couldn't even call her sister, Katie got up and raised her hand to prepare to teach this disobedient sister a lesson, her hand was raised high, Cinderella was frightened, motionless, seeing that Katie's slap was about to fall, a pair of white and slender jade hands held Katie's wrist,

"Don't make any more fuss! Charlotte hasn't come back yet, it's so late and in the mood for a fight! Sit down for me. ”

Katie listened to her mother's words, looked ashamed, and hurriedly sat down. Cinderella frowned, it seemed that Charlotte was in some trouble, and hoped that her father was not in danger.
