Lottie felt very happy.
She loved the beautiful woods on her estate and enjoyed playing freely there with her sister and best friend.
Carefree, no worries, only happiness and laughter.
However, sometimes she had a feeling that she seemed to have forgotten something.
It seemed like she had something important to do.
It seemed to be a very important matter, which made her feel uneasy.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember what she had forgotten...
"Lottie! What are you daydreaming about?"
The clear and pleasant voice of her friend came over and interrupted her thoughts.
Looking at her friend's adorable appearance, Lottie felt that her mood seemed to improve.
"I... I don't know. I just feel like I forgot something."
Lottie shook her head and said.
"If you can't remember it, forget it! If you can't remember it, it must not be a big deal! Let's have fun!"
"Okay, stop worrying about it! Come on! It's your turn to find us!"
The little girl giggled.
Lottie hesitated.
But when her best friend reached out and held her hand, Lottie's worries seemed to fade away in an instant.
yes.
Since you can't remember what you forgot, it means that what you forgot is not important.
Tonight is my birthday party, so I should have fun!
Thinking of this, Lottie's brows relaxed a lot.
She regained her smile and continued playing with her sisters.
Happy times always fly fast.
Before we knew it, we had played hide-and-seek for several more rounds.
The moon hangs high in the sky, casting silver light.
Lottie didn't know how long she had been playing, but looking at the moonlight, it seemed that it had never changed...
As time went by, that faint feeling of uneasiness surged up in my heart again:
"Little Charlotte, have we... been playing for too long? The party should have started a long time ago, right?"
"Hey! Lottie! They drive their cars and we play our games! Do you still want to put on a fake smile with those hypocritical adults?"
The girls all pursed their lips.
Lottie thought it made sense.
She really doesn't like interacting with adults who wear masks every day.
Especially in recent years, even the adults in the family have become much colder and the atmosphere is depressing, making her feel more and more uncomfortable.
Only when she is with her sister and good friends can she completely relax and be filled with laughter.
"Then... play for a while longer?"
She hesitated and said.
"Yeah! Play for a while longer!"
The little girl said happily.
"Mary! It's your turn to catch us!"
The three of them continued playing hide-and-seek.
Mary faced the tree and read out the countdown, while her friend took Lottie's hand and hid in the bushes.
However, when the two were about to enter the bushes, the bushes were pushed aside to the sides by someone from the outside.
Lottie saw two slender figures appear in front of him.
The leader was a beautiful older sister.
Her gorgeous silver hair sparkled in the moonlight, her beautiful face was adorned with beautiful golden eyes, and her gorgeous and solemn dress made her look mysterious and noble...
With just one glance, Lottie was stunned. Even the handsome elf behind him could not catch her attention.
So... so beautiful!
This was the only thought left in Lottie's mind.
What follows is an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.
The inexplicable feeling of familiarity and closeness made Lottie stop almost subconsciously, and couldn't help asking:
"Excuse me..."
"Lottie! Someone's coming! Let's run!"
Her friend's giggles interrupted her words, and she grabbed her hand and ran deeper into the woods.
Before Lottie could react, she was dragged away and started running.
The two ran deeper and deeper...
Lottie didn't know how long she had been running, and she didn't even know whether the grove on her estate was that big.
Anyway... I ran for a long, long time, but I was still in the woods.
The surrounding trees became increasingly dense, the shadows of the fireflies gradually became fewer, and only the silver moonlight poured down.
Lottie was out of breath and couldn't run any longer:
"Hoohoo... Stop for a moment... Little Charlotte... Stop for a moment..."
Instead, she pulled her friend and laughed without breathing:
"Lottie... you are too weak!"
"No... it's because you have too much physical strength. Seriously... I really can't imagine that you are not tired after running so far!"
Lottie shook her head and said.
After that, she hesitated for a moment and asked again:
"Little Charlotte... Why are you dragging me along? The big sister just now seemed to be looking for us."
"Looking for us? Lottie, do you want to be found by those hypocritical adults? Wouldn't you feel depressed being with them?"
The little girl asked back dissatisfiedly.
Lottie hesitated:
"But... but she didn't give me that oppressive feeling, and... and I felt that she was very familiar to me, maybe she was someone I knew before..."
"That's enough! Lottie! The only people you know are me and Mary!"
The little girl shook her head and said.
As she spoke, she reached out her hand again and pulled at the girl's arm.
But just as she was about to grab the girl's arm, a large hand in a white glove lifted her up from behind.
"Mr. Valarroka, it is not a good habit to pretend to be someone else to deceive a beautiful lady, especially... your disguise makes me quite uncomfortable."
Sebastian said with a smile as he lifted the girl up like a chick.
After hearing what Sebastian said, the girl's expression changed slightly, and she struggled and said:
"Who are you! Put me down! Put me down!"
Lottie also fell into panic in an instant:
"You...you...who are you! What are you going to do to little Charlotte!?"
"This is Broglie Manor! How dare you be so presumptuous... I'm going to call for help!"
Sebastian smiled slightly:
"Ms. Lottie, I'm Sebastian, and I'm the one who's going to rescue you from this fake dream."
"Sebastian...? Dream?"
Lottie looked a little confused.
She felt that the name Sebastian sounded quite familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"Lottie! He's a bad guy! Hurry up and call the guards to take him down!"
The girl who was caught said angrily.
"Hehe, guard? It seems that your recovery is not complete yet. You still need Miss Lottie to control your dreams."
Sebastian chuckled.
As he spoke, he looked down at the little girl in his hands and sneered:
"Mr. Valarroka, you may be a legend... but your taste in choosing disguises is not very good."
"What are you talking about! Put me down now! I am the eldest daughter of the Castel family! You treat me like this! Are you going to make an enemy of Castel?!"
The girl said angrily.
Sebastian smiled.
He looked behind Lottie and chuckled:
"Great master, did you hear that? It said it is the eldest daughter of Castel!"
"it?"
Lottie was stunned.
However, she soon noticed the other person's gaze looking behind her.
Lottie couldn't help but turn around and saw the beautiful older sister standing behind her.
She frowned at the girl who was picked up by Sebastian and said coldly:
"Sebastian, get rid of it."
"I will obey your orders..."
Sebastian bowed and saluted, then summoned a flaming sword and pierced the girl's chest in front of Lottie's horrified eyes.
"Charlotte!"
Seeing her good friend pierced through the heart by a sword, Lottie couldn't help but exclaim.
But the next moment, she was stunned.
In Sebastian's hand, the girl whose heart was pierced by a sword suddenly turned into a pool of black liquid and merged into the ground like a melted candle.
Lottie stared at all this in shock, horrified and bewildered, until a disembodied voice came from beside her:
"Don't look at it, it's fake."
Lottie couldn't help but look back at the beautiful older sister beside her, only to see a crimson halo suddenly blooming on her body.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
Her figure slowly shrank, and soon she turned into a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her gorgeous silver hair turned into brilliant gold, and her red-gold eyes turned into sapphire-like skies. Her eyebrows and eyes were 80% similar to those of her best friend.
"You... you are..."
Looking at the other person's appearance, Lottie was confused and felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity and intimacy in her heart, as if something in the depths of her mind was reviving.
Looking at the puzzled girl, Charlotte sighed:
"Sister Lottie, this dream... it's time to wake up."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and placed it on the girl's shoulder.
As the brilliant red light bloomed, Lottie felt as if the gate of memory deep in his mind had suddenly shattered, and a huge amount of information suddenly poured into his mind...
