Strange words came out of her mouth, and Aurelian froze in the graveyard.

She covered her mouth in surprise, her pupils slowly contracted, and she looked straight ahead.

The old man's body seemed to shrink in the rain, becoming more and more rickety.

It's like a breath, decades old, and it's weird.

It wasn't until her body stopped bending downward that Aurelian looked at the old man in front of her and finally felt a sense of familiarity.

That's her grandfather.

Festan Barlow.

The faint green fire was pierced by the torrential rain, and the icy rain hit her.

Even in the state of the undead, you can feel a chill that goes deep into the bone marrow.

With a cool breeze, there is always a chill around this cemetery.

Her body trembled, goosebumps all over her body from the cold.

Although it will not be seen in the undead state.

Suddenly, the torrential rain stopped.

Aurelian looked up, and the dense stone monuments in front of her were still beating and splashing from the torrential rain.

Next to the line of sight, the figure of the Grand Duke appeared.

The Grand Duke stood beside her, holding an umbrella, shielding Aurelian from the wind and rain.

His cloudy gaze also looked in the direction of his purpose.

"That's my daughter, Shelley, and your mother."

"I know you're here for her."

Aurelian was silent.

Indeed, Aurelian came to the Kingdom of Kanter to visit her deceased mother.

But her grandfather didn't give her this opportunity directly.

Aurelian didn't even know where her mother's body was buried after it was returned to the kingdom.

And now, Aurelian finally knew.

Why she never found her mother's grave?

That's because my mother's grave is here, right in this mansion.

It remains in this empty realm of the dead.

And now, here she is, watching everything like a moviegoer.

witnessed the convergence of the love of his mother and his father, and the separation of grief.

However, the most painful person is obviously by her side.

The picture in front of him is still there, but the Grand Duke of Barlow, standing in front of the tombstone, allowed to be watered by the torrential rain, his body is completely wet.

It was the father of the Grand Duke Barlow, who sent the body of his daughter to the tomb with his own hands.

Except for Archduke Barlow, no one knows what kind of pain he endured at that time.

The real Grand Duke Barlow on the side slowly spoke:

"After her death, I used necromancy to summon Shelley's revenant, and I wanted to hear about her long-cherished wishes."

"That sentence is what she always wanted to tell me at the end."

Don't blame him.

Shelley hoped to use her long-cherished wish to remove the resentment in Archduke Barlow's heart.

Kingdoms and empires have been at war once before.

She did not want the two countries to be at war again because of her.

"I promised her."

Archduke Barlow's voice continued to ring in his ears.

Aurelian's heart, like a broken crystal, trembled slightly.

An understatement of promise, what kind of pain is hidden behind it.

She couldn't imagine.

At this time, the Grand Duke of Barlow, who represented his father, disappeared in front of the tombstone.

"Let's go see her."

Archduke Barlow's voice sounded softly like a breeze.

So, Aurelian dragged her heavy body and walked slowly forward.

Standing in front of the tombstone, she carefully looked at the stone monument where her mother was buried.

It is engraved with the name that belongs to Aurelian's mother.

Shelley Barlow.

Aurelian reached out and stroked the cold tombstone.

Under the tombstone, buried in the soil, are her relatives, her biological mother, the person who brought her into this world.

At this moment, she felt a bitter loneliness.

Transformed into an undead state, she seems to have experienced the loneliness of death.

Immediately afterward, a deeper thought came to my mind.

The longing in her heart rushed to her brain.

It was like a torrent that surged out between the rock walls after a landslide and the ground cracked, surging into her heart.

She knew full well that her mother had already been buried here and should not be disturbed.

She also knew that her mother's body under the tombstone had rotted and withered, perhaps even the dry bones had dissipated.

But she wields necromancy and has the power to rise above life and death.

At this moment, she longed deeply, longed to be able to resurrect her mother, to hear her death with her own ears.

"Those who die are destined not to return."

It was as if the tracks of the mind were deeply blurred by the canyon, and the madness that was about to erupt was retracted by the echo of the Grand Duke of Barlow.

Aurelian looked up sharply, as if awakened from a dream.

Just now, she was on the verge of going mad and strayed into necromantic magic.

Like the group of necromancers buried at the bottom of Guanta Prison.

Crazy and profane.

However, she could not imagine it.

Obviously, even her daughter, who has never met before, has such a strong idea.

Well, Archduke Barlow, who is a father.

As he gazed at his daughter's grave, his heart was shattered and desperate.

He is the most legendary necromancer in this world.

He even admitted it himself.

Necromancy is magic that resurrects the dead.

But even so.

He still suppressed the raging despair.

Just for the bottom line in that heart, that must not be desecrated with the determination of life and death.

Aureli stood quietly, looking at the tombstone washed by the heavy rain, and her complicated mood was full of eyebrows.

Pain and emotion are intertwined, like a stream flowing through her heart.

She had never seen her real mother, and she didn't even know what her eyes looked like.

In contrast, having never received a mother's love made her feel that this love was so far away.

But she knew.

Buried beneath this dead place is one of her two closest relatives in her life.

Aurelian looked up and took a deep breath.

Looking at the Grand Duke of Barlow, as if he had mustered up courage, he asked:

"Can I give her some gifts?"

Archduke Barlow didn't say much, just nodded silently, acquiescing to her actions.

So, Aurelian took out a small gift box from her bosom.

She crouched down and pulled out the contents of the box.

It was a little crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball, a small red brick house is covered in a thick layer of snow.

There are several small but luxuriant conifers around it, and their branches are also bent by the snow.

Snowflakes flutter in the crystal ball, as if reflecting the tranquility of winter.

Grand Duke Barlow looked at it, his cloudy eyes slightly opened.

Perhaps, this is also a novelty that he has never seen before.

Aurelian gently turned the clockwork behind the crystal ball.

The next moment, the snow began to slowly fall inside the crystal ball, and the bottom of the crystal ball also emitted light.

With music box-like music, it ticks.

Aurelian stood up again, and turned to Archduke Barlow and explained:

"This is a birthday present that Mr. Victor ordered for me at one of the Dwarven Councillors."

The crystal ball in the light is incomparably conspicuous and precious.

Although there is no definite value for its value.

However, Aurelian cherished it.

Because for her, there is a heart-warming meaning in it.

In the next second, a gentle starlight bloomed from the crystal ball.

It was as if it was a blooming colored flower, flooding the surrounding space.

The green mist in the space was pierced by countless shimmers of light, merging into the endless nothingness in all directions.

The starlit sky was like a slightly trembling lake, and the light swayed slightly, falling off the light white floc that was as vast as the sky that obscured the sky.

The tombstone in front of him also became illusory, and a huge red shadow flickered in the center of the space.

Soon, a warm house covered in snow and made of red bricks appeared out of thin air in the huge cemetery, and instead of the cold stone tablets.

Several bent conifers also grew out of thin air, supporting the heavy snow.

Each snowflake falls on the palm of your hand with a unique temperature.

Suddenly, the rain in the sky stopped, and only the warm embrace of the snow in the sky turned into a warm embrace, embracing this space completely and gently.

Aurelian looked up at the sky, a look of reluctance in her eyes.

Close your eyes and feel the warmth on your face:

"For me, that's the best gift."

……

The sky was still full of warm snow, and a red brick house stood in the center.

And standing in front of the house was only the Grand Duke of Barlow.

The warm snow covered the whole body of the Grand Duke of Barlow, and apart from the soft warmth, he did not feel the slightest cold.

In the vicinity of the realm of the dead, the melodious and light music sounded second by second.

"Ding. Bite.. Ding..."

Archduke Barlow looked at the small crystal ball that was placed on the windowsill of the house, closed his eyes, and seemed to listen to the light music.

Aurelian has left, but here she is, leaving behind a gift.

It was a gift she gave to her mother.

Grand Duke Barlow raised his head, feeling the warmth that fell on his face:

"You gave birth to a wonderful child."

"She's a lot like you."

The sound of the wind rose in the warm realm of the dead, and the snow slowly drifting in the sky gently swirled as a result.

It was as if in response to the words of the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke asked, as if he had heard something

"Do you want to see her one last time?"

He took a deep breath and was silent for a long time.

It's like a tough choice.

Eventually, he opened his cloudy eyes, looked at the houses ahead, and gently pressed his cane. The next moment, a ghostly shadow flew out of the house.

The snow above the sky drifted slowly, falling on the ghost's invisible body, revealing the silhouette of a woman.

But he couldn't see her face clearly.

She followed the body of Grand Duke Barlow, slightly around him for a few weeks, and finally hugged him coldly.

Soon, the spirits drifted into the sky until they left the realm of the dead.

Leaving this tombstone, leaving the goose feather snow.

At this moment, the Grand Duke completely closed his eyes.

He stood in the midst of the wind and snow,

The rickety body seemed to have lifted a lot of heavy burdens, and slowly lifted up a lot.

Let himself melt into the white floc rolling in the sky, and exhale a heavy breath.

She had been here for sixteen years. On the day of Aurelian's arrival, her sixteen years of obsession were finally freed.

The snow was still falling, and the branches of the conifers were bent even more.

But the snow drifted into my eyes.

I couldn't see it clearly, and I couldn't see it for a moment.
