I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 35 Letters
She didn't rush to open the box, because that would be too purposeful.

Although she always felt that Shaar gave her the box on purpose, she couldn't guarantee it 100%.

She walked up the stairs again, comforted Arthur who was frightened by her, and continued to clean Shaar's room.

For her, cleaning is also a way to vent her emotions and divert her attention.

Xia Ya's room was not beyond her expectations at all. The carpet was messed up like a bird's nest, the walls were mottled and peeled off, the gray-white curtains on the bed were covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were many weird books on the table. , There are also many exquisite handicrafts placed inside.

These should be the magic props Shaar mentioned.

To be honest, Alicia thought it was a compliment to say he was messed up like a pigsty.

But this room is easier to clean than downstairs, because there is no particularly stubborn dirt, only some dust, she and Arthur speed up the action, and conquer this last room in the morning.

However, I did not find any weird contracts or girls' hearts.

She also washed Shaar's curtains and his dusty clothes by the way, and pulled up a rope outside the moving castle to dry these things.

In order to cooperate with her cleaning, the castle was docked by a large lake so that Calcifer could draw water.

This place is located in the valley between the small town of Romir and the snow field. The water in the lake is melted water from snow mountains, which is very clean.

Alicia moved the chair that Shaar had been occupying all this time to the lakeside. Today's weather is fine and sunny.

The clear water of the lake reflects the blue sky.

On both sides are green mountains and forests, and in the distance, you can also see snow-covered mountains, which is a scenery she has never seen before.

By the time she finished handling everything, it was almost dusk, the sun was setting, and the golden light was shining on the lake, and a breeze blew past her skirt, just like her hair was blown by the wind. arc left in the .

The grass under my feet swayed with the wind, making rustling sounds, and the lake was sparkling.

She sat on the rocking chair, looked down at the box in her hand, and after a period of mental construction, she still opened it.

There were not many things in the box, an old rag doll, a string of necklaces, and an unsealed letter.

The doll, her favorite childhood toy, was a birthday present from her father, and the necklace was a relic from her mother.

It was also given to her mother by her father. Although the value is not even one percent of the brooch she sold casually, it is still her mother's favorite thing to wear when she travels.

She silently opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper inside, with trembling handwriting on it.

My dear Alicia:

When you read this letter, I may have left you, don't feel sad, everyone always goes through this stage in their life.

And compared to many people, I actually lived a long life.

When writing this letter, you have been missing for eight hours. I haven't slept all night, and my mood is very complicated.

While worrying about your safety, I also feel that my death may also be coming soon.
So I have to write this letter and leave something for you.

I don't know if this letter will reach you, but whoever reads this letter, please deliver it to my beloved daughter
You haven't told me anything since your mother died.

All the pain and sorrow are hidden in the bottom of my heart.

Start trying to learn court etiquette that you didn't like in the past, and make yourself like a princess.

Your eyes have lost their light, but I have never protected the light in your heart.

Perhaps, you also hate me in your heart.

Hate me for killing your mother.

I used to think that I would never regret it, but when you disappeared and my death fell, many possibilities flashed in my mind.

What a kind person your mother is, she is kind and peaceful. She never wanted to be a queen and enjoy the glory and wealth.

She just hopes to be safe and happy with her family.

And just this, I can't give her
I often wonder, if we had left this country, would there have been another ending?

But in this world, how can there be so many if
Back then, your grandfather took me to a slum in the imperial capital.

There, all the people of the empire were impoverished due to the exploitation of the nobles. It was a miserable scene that I could never imagine in my life.

Because of this, I decided to change all of this. I took you back to the palace and inherited the throne. I was full of passion and confidence, and thought I could bring about changes to this country with the power in my hands.

But the reality is always cruel. The power vortex in this country is deeper than I imagined.

It is so deep that even if you become the owner of the highest power in this country, you still can't break free from it.

I lost your mother, I paid the price, but in the end nothing changed.

My life is undoubtedly a failure.

But the funny thing is, if I go back to the past, I might still make this choice.

The nib settles here for a while, leaving a large black spot at the end.

I always greedily want to have everything.

Self-righteously feel that I can choose the best fate for you.

The same goes for a marriage arranged for you.

I want to give you the best protection, and I want to keep you away from this vortex of power.

At the same time, I also want to make the country more stable.

But it seems that nothing can be achieved
Half a month ago, when the prince from the West-France Empire was about to arrive in the imperial capital, you had a big fight with me.

That was the first time you had expressed your heart to me since your mother died.

But I never got your wish
At that time, many thoughts flashed through my mind, except for the ones above.

I thought of your fate as a royal family, I have resisted, and I understand the price of resistance.

Compared to future tragedies, I think you can at least marry someone who loves you.

Since that day, I have been regretting every day, regretting that I should not have said such heavy words to you, and regretting that I should listen to your opinions more.

but you don't care about me anymore
I think I should have broken your heart.

After you disappeared, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind.

Whether it is the alliance of the West French Empire, or the fate of Britannia.

As long as you can be safe, as long as you can be happy and happy, these things are actually insignificant to me.

This country, this location, has swallowed me and your mother, and I will never let it swallow you again!
If you come back safe and sound, Alicia, go for whatever you want.

And sorry, my daughter.

This is what I have always wanted to say, but never said.
Alicia read the contents of the letter in one breath, she remained silent, and just kept a posture, motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, she trembled and took a deep breath, folded the letter again, put it in the envelope, and put it back in the box.

There were one or two inconspicuous water waves on the calm lake surface, but then, three, four, countless water waves rippling on the lake surface.

The surface of the water and the grass made a splashing sound, the dark sky was covered with dark clouds, and the heavy rain spread like black drops of blood.

Alicia just sat there, bathed in the rain, the rain was slapping her face, running down her cheeks
