As soon as you enter the castle, it is as if you have entered a new world.

Furniture buildings from 500 years ago are everywhere, and the counters are lined with the collection of Duke Iris from 1,000 years ago, a completely unfamiliar country.

Hundreds of years ago, the style of European aristocracy showed its mystery and temptation under the dim and faint lamp.

In order to maintain the original appearance of the castle as much as possible, Beyoncé did not reinstall the lights in the castle. It's gloomy and claustrophobic, but it's rare and priceless.

"This is the Library." Beyoncé walked into a room full of books with the lamp in hand, introducing in a hoarse voice as she walked.

"This is the bedroom where Duke Iris once lived."

Looking at the burgundy velvet curtains in the bedroom, which were unpatterned and faded, but with a heavy sense of history, he nodded his head and looked at everything here with a completely unfamiliar gaze.

It was as if she had traveled to another time and space. Everything was ancient in that time and space hundreds of years ago, but everything was new to her.

Beyoncé led Enron cautiously around the gloomy castle. Coming out of the bedroom, I entered another room.

When he walked to a room full of medals, he stopped and looked with interest at the file on the wall that recorded the history of the family's glory.

"Hey, that's ......"

When I read a certain place, I suddenly couldn't read the meaning, and Enran was confused and wanted to ask Beyoncé for advice-

When he turned his head, he found that the Beyoncés were long gone.

Strangely walked out of the room, and there was no one to be found anywhere, and before he knew it, he came to a corner.

This seems to be the only room that Beyoncé hasn't taken her to. Do you want to go in~ Inside...... Could there be something you don't want people to see? Standing outside the corner door, she hesitated.

After a moment, the door was opened: Beyoncé's figure came into view.

She was about to call lightly, but she was stunned, because Beyoncé, who had always been irritable and weird, was sitting quietly in her chair at the moment, and there was a deep, memories-like thing in her gray-blue eyes.

"Grandma~" An Ran hesitated, but still called out, pushed the door and walked in gently.

Beyoncé replied with an "um" and turned to look at her, "You're in." ”

She reverted to her usual unpleasant tone, so much so that An Ran wondered if Beyoncé, who had just seen and seemed to be in a daze with some kind of sadness, was her delusion.

"This is Duke Iris's studio, and it's also a piano room."

Beyoncé stood up again and continued to walk with her, introducing slowly and sadly.

An Ran watched all this with curiosity, and suddenly, he was attracted by a self-portrait of the Duke above his head.

She leaned closer, looked up, and the painting was hanging too high, and she stood on tiptoe, reaching out to reach the frame—

Suddenly, I heard an angry shout - "Be careful——! ”

An Ran was shocked, and his feet slammed towards the right side of the road.

I only heard a snap, and when I fell, the frame that was accidentally hit by her raised hand fell down......

As the frame cracked, a drawing, like a butterfly, floated out gently.

Dust poured down on the head of the girl who had fallen to the ground in embarrassment......

An Ran stretched out his hand to block the dust, and for a moment, his half-open clear water eyes saw the broken picture frame on the ground through his fingers.

Touching the paper falling from the frame, she unconsciously turned her head to look at Beyoncé—

The gray-eyed girl on the painting, although she is dozens of years different from reality, still has a feeling, an extremely subtle sense of familiarity!

The moment she saw the painting, Beyoncé was also stunned, her eyes stayed on the painting for a moment, and she couldn't return to her senses for a long time.

An Ran watched all this without saying a word.

The dust was all around her, picturesque.

"Grandma~" An Ran couldn't help but ask softly, "Why is the girl in this portrait so similar to you?" ”

Beyoncé stared at the portrait and said a shocking fact with a heavy but sure statement: "The girl in the portrait is me." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but crouch down, her old hand caressing the painting lovingly.

An Ran looked at the strange picture and was dumbfounded:

How can there be a portrait of Beyoncé in Iris Castle?

Even if they were a little related, in order to maintain the original appearance of the place, Beyoncé almost refused to add lights, let alone an impractical portrait?

Moreover, the painting, hidden deep within the frame and completely obscured by the image of the duke covering it, does not seem to want others to discover it......

"It's weird~"

Beyoncé suddenly spoke, "How can there be a portrait of me in this?" ”

Enron nodded.

Beyoncé didn't look at Enron, stared at the painting, and said deeply, "This is what Albert painted for me." ”

As she spoke, she got up and walked to the corner, and suddenly reached out and pulled away a burgundy curtain in the corner—

An ancient piano hidden behind the curtain is revealed.

Beyoncé sat in front of the piano stand, her fingers falling on the piano and a crisp syllable sounded!

"Albert was here and played the piano for me." She said with infinite emotion.

An Ran looked at her and sighed with envy, "Your cousin is so good to you...... but unfortunately she doesn't have any cousins and cousins, so she can't feel the warmth of that kind of family affection......

Beyoncé gave her a strange look, "No, he's not my cousin." After saying this, she kept staring at An Ran, and her more and more strange and cold eyes reflected the cold wind blowing more and more outside the window, and the atmosphere became more and more weird.

The cold wind whistled, and a thunderclap suddenly fell from the sky!

It was dark outside the window, and An Ran looked at Beyoncé with a strange expression by the window with his mouth slightly open and in dismay......

"I'm not Albert's cousin. Albert and I had secretly fallen in love with their families behind their backs, and we made a lifelong relationship. "I was curious about their legendary castle, so he brought me here, played the harp, and painted for me," she said, "and her tone changed suddenly! The old gray eyes also lit up with a poignant sharp light!

"But one day, Albert's cousin, Ellega, whom she had never met, found out when she met her grandfather, and she wanted to sue Albert's grandfather, who was still alive at the time!"

"The Iris family has a secret rule," Beyoncé said in a deep voice, falling into a memory, "Iris Castle is not allowed to outsiders for 500 years, otherwise,"

"How else?"

"Otherwise, we will do everything we can to punish that man and expel him from the city forever." Beyoncé paused, "With the strength and status of the Albert family, they are fully capable of doing this. ”

"Albert wanted to protect me and stop Elija, who was about to file a complaint. Angry and fierce, Eliga bit Albert's hand, and as soon as Albert let go, she slammed back, tripped over a stool, hit the table, and broke her head. ”

"Albert and I tried to bury her body in the back hill, and when my grandfather arrived, he lied that I was his cousin who had come to confess."

"That means ...... Aren't you Albert's cousin? This castle ...... It shouldn't be yours too? ”

Looking at Beyoncé's eyes, An Ran suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing.

"That's it, I pretended to be his cousin and lived in the Iris family for more than ten years." Beyoncé continued, standing up.

An Ran smiled dryly, his lips suddenly turned a little pale, "That's, that's good...... At least, you've been safe. ”
