Through Millie's narration, I can't actually feel all the feelings in the story. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, I can still feel the misery of a big family coming to an end, or even going extinct.

In fact, the real 'Count of Butterflies' is not the father of Millie and Hu Feifei, but their ancestors, their ancestors are the people who were once truly canonized as "Counts of Butterflies" in France.

Unfortunately, on July 14, 1789, the French Revolution broke out, and then in just three years, the Bourbon dynasty, which had ruled France for many centuries, was overthrown and the monarchy was abolished. As a "Count of Butterflies" with royal blood, he also lost the title of nobility because of this.

However, out of dignity as nobles, the family never admitted that they had become commoners, and from that generation onwards, all the heads of the family would put on cloaks and golden butterfly masks, calling themselves "Count Butterfly".

However, in that era, after losing the privileges of the nobility, the 'Count Butterfly', no matter how much he wanted to maintain his honor as a nobleman, he simply lost the ability to survive in that society. As time passed, the entire huge Earl family gradually failed, and in the end, only Millie's grandfather, who was the direct bloodline of the "Count Butterfly", was left alone, still supporting the inheritance of the family.

However, it has to be said that although Millie's grandfather was a bit stubborn and conservative, he refused to give up the so-called aristocratic glory until his death. However, he does have a good hand at doing business. In his lifetime, with his skill, he finally bought back this ancient castle that once belonged to the "Count Butterfly" family, which is now the ancient castle of the manor on the other side.

It's a pity that when all this was passed on to Millie and Hu Feifei's father's generation, their father didn't care about the title of earl as much as their grandfather, and it was only because it was his father's last wish that he had to accept it.

But he also had his own way, and from that time on, he played two roles by himself. When he was in the castle, he was the noble "Count of Butterflies", and usually, he was just a romantic French art dealer, living in the city near the castle and living the life of an ordinary merchant.

So, it was also since he that "Count Butterfly" really turned into a mysterious character, and rarely appeared in front of people unless necessary. Even, in order to avoid people who knew them and recognized him as the 'Count of Butterfly', Millie's father finally exhausted almost all of the family's wealth and moved the castle from France to the strange China, located in the mountains behind the ghost town of Fengdu

And he himself settled in China with his wife at the time, that is, Millie's mother. It's a pity that things are always unsatisfactory in the world, although after immigrating to China, no one knows him anymore, but at that time China was not as open as it is now, and the blonde and blue-eyed French people living in the city can always provoke all kinds of strange eyes.

Therefore, after finally enduring it for almost ten years, Millie's mother finally left the family with Millie, who was only three years old at the time, and returned to France.

"Actually, my real name is Alice, Alice de Bourbon, the surname of the ridiculous Bourbon royal family. And Millie? Linda's name was changed to me by my mother. Millie gradually calmed down and continued, "And I knew all this more than ten years ago. It was only before my mother died that she told me all this, so that I, who was still young at the time, came to this castle to find my biological father. ”

"More than 10 years ago? How is it possible, how have I never seen you. I remember the first time you came to the manor, it should have been seven or eight years ago, with Mr. Luo Zhigang and them. As a senior old housekeeper of the Manor on the other side, he has been working here for nearly thirty years, and recalled suspiciously.

"Of course, because, I didn't meet my father in this damn manor at all." Millie glanced at the old butler mockingly and said, "You people are actually poor people who are imprisoned in the cage of the castle. Especially you, the old butler Liu Zhen, you have been working in this castle for so many years, from your young age to now more than half a hundred years old, but you don't know anything about the castle except that you know that the owner is the 'Count Butterfly'. You don't even know that my father, the Count of Butterfly, rarely spends time in the castle. It's ridiculous that you are cleaning, tidying up the garden, and taking care of everything in the castle for the sake of a master who doesn't live here at all. With that, Millie continued her story.

At that time, the young Millie, according to her mother's deathbed instructions, traveled thousands of miles to China, and finally, in a house near the manor on the other side, she finally met the old "Count Butterfly" family at that time. It was also at that time that she learned that she also had a half-sister - Hu Feifei.

According to Millie's recollections, at first she couldn't accept this sister at all, and even made things difficult for her at every turn. But Hu Feifei is really kind and tactful. In the end, Millie finally agreed with her little by little.

However, when their family gradually stabilized, the old "Earl Butterfly" knew that he had a terminal illness during a physical examination. According to doctors, even with the best treatment, he will not live long. And after knowing all this, the old 'Count Butterfly' began to arrange his own afterlife.

He first brought his youngest daughter Hu Feifei, who had a relatively stable personality, back to the castle as a maid, so that she could familiarize herself with everything in the manor. He also introduced his eldest daughter Millie, who also likes business and art as much as herself, to her business partners as a friend, that is, Luo Zhigang and others. He hopes that the two of them can support each other in the future, one in the main and the other outside the main, which can really be regarded as breaking his heart for his two daughters. Moreover, he even decided to let the "Count of Butterfly" die with him, and no longer let this hypocritical title imprison the freedom of his two daughters.

"It's a pity that Fei Fei and I were both young and frivolous and dreaming at that time, thinking that how could the elegant French nobleman, the mysterious 'Count of Butterfly', die like this? Wouldn't that be too unromantic! That's why we insist on keeping the Count of Butterflies alive. Millie smiled wryly and said, "However, what we never expected was that this elegant and mysterious 'Count Butterfly', this beautiful castle manor is full of sludge and dirt. Speaking of this, Millie suddenly looked at Zhu Quan and the others angrily, her sharp eyes seemed to be about to eat them alive, and she shouted in a sharp voice: "And these sludge and dirt are made by you people. He even killed poor Fei Fei in the end. ”
