The two of them walked around the mansion again and again, and Serena said: "I don't hold a grudge against the Duke's Mansion, the Duchess raised me, treated me as her own, and has always cared for Meiyi. But I couldn't open my heart to her mother. I wondered, why did my great-grandfather bleed my parents for his crimes. I even wonder if Madame kept me just to use me as a container for the soul of the second princess. ”

Kira comforted her, "Serena, stop thinking about this, okay?" Go to the northern lands to help Meiyi build a free and equal country, and then slowly unravel these mysteries. ”

Serena nodded.

In the evening, Lady Alicia cooked a full table of meals to celebrate the birth of Mei Ai.

During the meal, Lady Alicia noticed that Kira was a little absent-minded, so she asked with concern, "Kira, what's wrong, is there any discomfort?" ”

Kira had been thinking about the secrets that Serena had told her, and when she heard Alicia call her, she was startled, and she hurriedly said, "Madame, I'm all right. I'm sorry, now my heart is full of Mei Ai, and I'm always worried about how she is now, whether she sleeps, whether she is still crying. ”

Lady Alicia smiled tolerantly: "Well, mothers are like that. Rest assured, the maid kept watching her. ”

After speaking, Lady Alicia looked at Serena with love and said, "I'm really a little curious, what kind of mother will our Nana be in the future?" ”

Serena smiled sheepishly and did not speak.

Lady Alicia said, "Nana, your mother Lochin is a beautiful, strong, gentle mother. If she can stay with you all the time, you will definitely be better than you are now. I can't compare to her, and I can't help but try to control my children, thinking that they can't do anything on their own. ”

Serena was surprised, "Madam, are you mistaken? My mother's name is Elena! ”

Lady Alicia looked at Serena and said calmly, "You are about to get married, and there are things that should be known to you." Your mother's name is Luo Qin, and your great-grandfather's name is Ewell, the puppet king in the history of the Elven Kingdom. ”

Serena lost her voice and said, "Madam, so, my father is not the Sellifer you told me, is he?" ”

Lady Alicia said, "No. Hear me out first, okay? Mei Yi said that you are the wind and love freedom, and I have promised to give you freedom. I'll tell you everything I know, and it's all up to you how you choose afterwards. ”

Serena nodded.

Her heart pounded.

Alicia looked at Kira and said, "Kira, are you sure you want to stay here?" ”

Kira asked, "Can I?" ”

Alicia said, "If Serena is okay, I'm okay." ”

Serena said to Kira, "If you will." ”

She longed for Kira to stay by her side, but she couldn't say it.

Alicia smiled slightly and said, "Our queen's name is Akilu, her father's name is Ai Qi, her grandfather's name is Ezel, and her great-grandfather's name is Orphe. Serena, your great-grandmother, the queen of the puppet king, named Ai Xuan, was originally the queen of the elven kingdom. Later, Ewell killed her, proclaimed himself king, and slaughtered the descendants of the Ai family, slaughtering dissidents, and the elven kingdom entered the 'Dark Ages'. My grandfather, Orphein, was a living in exile, and if it weren't for the Pope's protection, the royal family would have died long ago. ”

Qiluo said in his heart: Offen's real name should be Ai Fen, which is a pseudonym he used to avoid the pursuit of the pseudo-elf king.

Serena didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Alicia looked at the huge ball chrysanthemum on the dining table and said, "Grandfather has been living in the people since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot. With the support of the church and the armies of some large lords who supported the royal family, he defeated the puppet king after dozens of battles, large and small. Naturally, the blood of the puppet king was killed cleanly. ”

Serena moved her lips slightly, "What about my grandfather?" ”

"At that time, when your grandfather was still young, King Orphen saw the child on the execution ground, and he could not bear it, so he said, 'Let him go, if you kill him, what difference will be between me and the demon of Ewell?' And, after all, he has my sister's blood in his veins. Send him to the country, I don't hate him, and I don't want to see him. ’”

"Your grandfather lived a short life of an ordinary life—if only that's the case. He did not thank King Orphen for his grace, but at the instigation of Evel's supporters, he rebelled again, and was completely destroyed. My father, seeing your newborn father lying quietly in the cradle, was moved with compassion again and decided to take him by his side and take charge of teaching him from an early age. ”

Serena looked at Lady Alicia noncommittally.

Lady Alicia continued.

"Your father grew up on my family's estate, and with him my cousin Luo Qin, your mother. Luo Qin is the youngest daughter of the Luo family, and she has been fostered in my home since her parents died young. As an older sister, I am very strict with her, and so is your father, and the two of them often speak ill of me behind my back, and slowly develop feelings, and then they are together, with you. ”

Kira: I have to hold back, I can't laugh, I can't laugh.

Serena said: "Thank you, madam, I know the rest of the story, they went to conquer the monsters, unfortunately both of them were killed, leaving me who was only three years old." ”

She looked Madame in the eye and did not flinch at all.

Lady Alicia smiled slightly, as if she didn't notice the ridicule in Serena's eyes, and her voice was still as calm as water: "Those are all lies. Now, it's time for you to know the truth of the matter. You also know that King Ai Yan's father, Ai Ze, has always liked his concubine's child Ain, not the queen's child Ai Qi, and later under the pressure of the fairy clan, he had to be passed on to Ai Qi. ”

"Serena, Kira, you should also know a little bit about the character of our former Elven King. His mother died young, and his father did not like him since he was a child, and he always longed for a happy and peaceful family, and he was very affectionate with his sister, Queen Elsa. In terms of governance, he always hoped that the three clans would coexist peacefully and the kingdom would be peaceful and tranquil, but unfortunately, his reign was eventful, with repeated invasions of demonic beasts and coups and rebellions. ”

Serena thought to herself: What does this have to do with my father?

As if sensing Serena's thoughts, Lady Alicia said, "Your father is very similar to you when you were a child, simple-blooded, competitive, careless and reckless, and he has not changed much since he got married. Luo Qin was always able to arrange the family in good order, but slowly, your father changed, became taciturn, and sometimes a little gloomy. ”

Serena was shocked, "What happened to my father?" ”

Alicia said: "The legend of Aize is located in the queen of Ay, and he is very dissatisfied with the way King Ayer treats the pseudo-prince and his son, and often beats King Ayer with the example of your grandfather's rebellion. Ai Qi believes that the descendants are innocent, and your grandfather's rebellion was only coerced by those pseudo-king supporters with evil intentions. Azer secretly sent someone to tell everyone in the manor about your father's origins. ”

"How could he do that?" Serena cried out, tears streaming down her face.

Lady Alicia said, "You should have guessed what happened later. Your father was alienated by everyone, and people feared him, despised him, and ostracized him, even though he did nothing bad. After I married Alfie, I took him and Luo Qin to the Mansion of the Duke of Hualing. A year later, you were born, giving Innomo great happiness in the midst of a low point in his life. ”

Serena trembled, "Madame, can you tell me how my parents died?" ”

Alicia said, "King Aethia implemented some reforms, which touched the interests of the great nobles and caused their strong dissatisfaction. When some of the great nobles learned of your father's identity, they wanted to support him as king and staged a coup d'état. Your father didn't agree, so he was kidnapped from the Duke's mansion by several men. ”

Serena burst into tears and said, "Madam, can a few people kidnap my father from the Duke's Mansion?" ”

Alicia was silent for a while, and said, "The flower spirit of sixteen years ago is not the same thing as the flower spirit now. Later, when your mother saw the note left by your father, she quietly took you to your father, who always thought that Alfie and I looked down on your father, and then gradually became estranged from me. ”

"Ma'am, what happened later?" Kira saw that the atmosphere in the restaurant had become a little depressing, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Later......" said Lady Alicia, "the note was forged by the nobles." Serena's father was determined to refuse, but when he saw his wife and daughter, his psychological defense completely collapsed. He had no choice but to agree to the requests of those nobles, and under the coercion of the nobles, under the banner of the pseudo-king, he began to attack Hualing. Now you know how weak the Duke's Mansion was at that time, right? ”

Before Serena could speak, Lady Alicia said, "Alfie hurriedly mobilized his army and met the rebels in the northern part of Hualing, and he trembled with anger when he saw your father at the head. Your father drew his sword and said with tears in his eyes, 'I can't help it, Great Lord, they threaten me with the lives of Luo Qin and Nana. I'm sorry for you and Madame. Please get them out and take care of them. With that, he committed suicide. ”

Serena didn't bother to wipe away her tears, and immediately said, "Madam, how did I survive? ”

Lady Alicia went to the door of the dining room, closed the door, and closed the curtains again. Just when Serena was full of doubts, Madame took off all the clothes on her upper body one by one, and there were more than a dozen ugly sword wounds on her beautiful body, large and small, which made Serena and Kira tremble all over and their hearts beat with horror.

Alicia put on her clothes, took out a string of reisuke from her clothes and put it on her hand, and silently recited a spell, and the vase on the dining table was suddenly pierced by dozens of thin ice cubes, and Qiu Ju became an ice sculpture, like an avant-garde work of art.

Serena was shocked.

Madame actually knows how to use ice spirits? And the psychic ability seems to be above Princess Esther!

Lady Acelia said, "With such spiritual abilities and paying such a huge price, you and your mother should be able to be rescued, right?" ”
