"The voice ......," Alan was stunned.

The voice was familiar to him, it was Cynthia!

"Didn't she go to the city with everyone?" he looked over to the immortal tree by the light of the moon, and found that there was no sign of her.

But the sound did come from that side again.

Allen's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and he couldn't help but slowly walk towards the immortal tree.

As she got closer, her voice became clearer, and Eren was pretty sure she was near the Immortal Tree.

But when he was about to get under the tree, the singing suddenly stopped.

Alan panicked, hurried a few steps, and produced a series of crisp footsteps on the masonry. Because he couldn't see the road clearly, he was tripped by the roots of the immortal tree that were exposed to the ground.

"Be careful, your foot injury is just right. Cynthia's voice rang out from behind the tree, "It has a lot of roots. ”

The canopy of the Immortal Tree was almost all concentrated on the side behind him, so it was very bright by the moonlight.

Alan looked up and saw that in the moonlight, Cynthia was leaning back against the tree, looking sideways at him, her eyes bright.

She wasn't wearing a school uniform today, but the one that looked a little special when Alan first saw her.

"Uh......" Alan was a little speechless for a moment, only to realize that he didn't know what he was going to say when he actually met Cynthia.

"So it's you......" Cynthia smiled, "and it looks like she might be in a good mood before going back to her room." ”

"What are you doing here?" asked Allen, curious.

"What are you doing here again?" Cynthia asked rhetorically, then tilted her head back.

"Well, I'm just looking at the stars...... It rained all day, and I had never seen such a beautiful starry sky. Alan tilted his head as he spoke.

"Well, so am I. Cynthia stared at the night sky.

"Why don't you go to the city with everyone?" asked Allen, turning his head.

"Why go there?"

"Uh...... Aren't all people going to the Rose Curtain Wall and making a wish...... I've heard it works. Unexpectedly, it was this kind of answer, and Alan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Huh...... That kind of deceptive rumor is probably only believed by a fool. Cynthia chuckled.

"Where did you make a wish?" Seeing Cynthia's attitude, remembering that she had grown up in Crivary since she was a child, Alan instantly understood, and asked again, "Didn't it happen?"

"If it had been realized, maybe I wouldn't be here now......"

"Is it a long time past?"

"It was a long time ago. Cynthia said lightly, as if recalling something, "When I was very young...... Before becoming a member of the Winslow family. ”

Alan didn't understand and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I am the adopted daughter of their family. Seeing Alan's expression, Cynthia explained, "I spent all my time in an orphanage until I was ten years old...... It's not too far from the rose curtain wall. ”

After learning the news, Allen's heartbeat, which had just slowed down, accelerated again, and he looked at her in surprise. Only then did he understand why Cynthia's surname was Winslow, but she was so different, and why Serera Winslow looked disdainful when talking about his sister.

"Then your parents ......" It took a long time for Alan to speak, his voice trembling a little.

"I haven't seen them, and no one has seen them!" Cynthia said in a rare loud voice, mixed with a little loss, and after a long time continued, "I was raised by the director of the orphanage...... Winters in Crivari often snow, and that day was no exception. She opened the door to sweep the snow in front of the door and picked me up...... I was wrapped in a thick cloth and placed in a small basket with a small note with my name 'Cynthia' written on it. ”

Alan looked at her in a daze, and suddenly felt as if she had a lot to say, but it was all stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.

Later, I heard her say that when she picked me up, I was cold, there was no heat in my mouth, and I thought I was hopeless, and remembered that her little orphanage was no longer enough to take in more children, so she wanted to throw me away...... But fortunately, I cried at that time, and her heart softened, so that she can have the current Natalia. ”

"Could it be for this reason?" Thinking of Cynthia's cold fingers, Alan couldn't help but guess. At the same time, I felt a sense of compassion in my heart, and even a little sad.

However, he still forced the emotions in his heart and asked, "Then why did you come to Winslow's house?"

"I don't know...... It's a bit of a coincidence, maybe it's a joke of fate. Cynthia smiled and recalled, "This was when I was ten years old...... The orphanage I live in is very poor and not very large, with only a dozen children, so I usually have to do odd jobs to support my family...... Early that morning, the dean took me and the other children to clean the Rose Square. There were a lot of people along the way, and she smiled happily, saying that it was the highest-paying job she had ever received in her life, and that if it was done successfully, she would buy each of us a new dress...... Of course, we were all excited and said that no matter how difficult it was, the cleaning would be done as soon as possible. But when we arrived, we found that the square was surprisingly clean, as if it had been cleaned many times, and there were people coming and going, and there were many carriages parked on the side of the road...... But we still started to sweep up some of the occasional fallen leaves under her leadership. ”

When Alan heard this, he immediately understood that this was probably what the Magic Management Association was doing to show others what it was seeing, but he didn't bear to interrupt Cynthia.

After cleaning, in order to wait for the employer to pay, she told us with great interest how to make a wish by the rose curtain wall, and told us to close our eyes and count one, two, three and make a wish together. But just as she was taking us with us to make a wish, a carriage stopped behind us, and a man who looked like an employer got out of the carriage, gave her a lot of gold coins, and asked her to do it again when there were many people, as she had just done...... We didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, but we happily did it at the thought of having new clothes to wear soon. But just as she was about to take us away, another person got out of the carriage, the current Mr. Headmaster, and the man I needed to call 'grandfather', Negris Winslow. ”

Alan had already guessed when he heard this, but he still listened patiently to Cynthia.

He walked up to me and looked at me for a moment, then pulled the dean aside and didn't know what to say. All I could see was her embarrassed face at first, and then she looked at me hesitantly for a few moments after my grandfather pulled out two bags of gold coins, and then nodded at him...... Then when she came back to the house in the evening, she handed me the dress, and she said to me, 'Someone will pick you up tomorrow and go to a new home.' Cynthia smiled wryly, looked at the dress, and continued, "Unfortunately, our rule is that children wear older clothes and so on, and the older ones wear hers...... So she didn't have the slightest idea of what size I could wear, and it wasn't just right for me to wear it until now. ”

Alan nodded and didn't speak.

Cynthia continued, "I couldn't believe my ears when the Dean first told me that it was the largest family of Crivari who was taking me away...... The other children are also very envious of me to have such luck, to have such a home, to have food and clothing, not to do anything, to do whatever I want, just to explain to the servants, and my future life will be completely different from theirs. I also tried my best to learn everything I could and wanted to repay them for that...... But it wasn't until that day, when Frey was brought by his grandfather, that I knew I was wrong...... They didn't need me, not because of my talent or talent for magic, but just to satisfy the Wagbein family's request for marriage...... The reason why I was picked was only because Eve Winslow was not the right age, and my blonde hair, which brought me this kind of 'good luck', was easier to fool...... Of course, the Wagbyons didn't know about this, and in their eyes, I was the daughter of the venerable Winslow family, the daughter of the venerable Winslow family, Cynthia Natalia Winslow of pure blood. ”

When Alan heard this, he understood why Frey always seemed polite to her, even polite.

"But is this really what I want?" Cynthia said as she suddenly asked, interrupting Allen's thoughts, "Is everything I have now, the envy of outsiders, really what I need?"

Alan looked at her and found that her eyes were suddenly full of confusion and some sorrow, and murmured: "Such a life, such a life can not be ...... by yourself"

"Where am I going?" said Allen, remembering the song she had just heard, and suddenly understood what she was trying to say.

"That song ......," Alan asked tentatively.

"That's what the dean taught us. Cynthia woke up from her thoughts and said lightly, "She hopes that one day we will find our parents." ”

"Actually...... I haven't seen my parents either......" presumably to comfort her, Alan whispered.

"Even if we can find them, but then?" Cynthia asked.

Alan didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Will they understand me? the current me, the me they have abandoned, the me they have never seen?" Cynthia asked in a series of slightly agitated questions.

Alan was speechless.

Cynthia calmed down for a moment, then said softly, "Still can't...... No one has ever been able to really understand me...... Including my current family, friends, Frey, Freya...... No one. ”

Alan was stunned, and wanted to refute but felt that it seemed reasonable.

It took him a long time to understand what Cynthia really wanted.

Cynthia looked up at the night sky and continued with a slightly wry smile, "But it's normal, isn't it, because being close doesn't mean you can see clearly." ”

There was a storm in Allen's heart, but he didn't know how to answer, so he just looked at her and nodded softly, and continued to be silent.

"But there's someone to ...... now," Cynthia said as she suddenly turned her head and stared at him.

"Me?" Alan was a little surprised, thinking he would be wrong.

"Yes, you can. Cynthia was still staring at him, repeating it again, her eyes determined.

Alan's heart throbbed, and a voice kept ringing in his heart: "She's right. ”

So he was silent for a long time before he forced the tide of emotions that came from nowhere, and said, "Why are you so sure." ”

There was no confusion in his eyes, and he was not so much asking as he wanted to hear the answer he was expecting from her.

Cynthia stared at him tightly and said clearly, "Because ...... We are similar people. ”
