Chapter 194 Years Ago
When Cecilia opened her eyes again, the surrounding environment was completely different from the scene before she fell into a coma.
She was thinking about the upcoming battle, and the first thing she wanted to confirm was the time.
As a result, the time has not been fully confirmed yet, and she finds that she seems to be a child now.
This confirmation made Cecilia a little dazed.
She had a bad feeling.
As a result, whether it is the time displayed by the system or the clues obtained from the surrounding environment, it is actually ten years ago.
It is simple to confirm the identity of the body you are currently using.
Fortunately, the system came back with her.
She was still in Cecilia's body.
In Cecilia's body ten years ago.
Cecilia was a little dazed.
According to the information she learned in the future, Cecilia should not have left the palace in Petra before her arrival.
But Cecilia is obviously not in the palace now.
Judging from the surrounding environment, we should still be in Petra.
Judging from the high tower of the Magician's Guild in the distance, this place seems to be some distance away from the palace.
What Cecilia couldn't understand was that the clothes on the original owner looked like they had been carefully modified.
It doesn't look like she is a princess who escaped from the palace.
What was the original owner doing out this time?
While Cecilia was still confused, she saw a little boy lying in a corner not far away.
The boy, who probably didn't look much older than himself, was huddled in a corner at the end of the alley.
Cecilia subconsciously took two steps forward. Before she could see the other person's face clearly, the system automatically popped up the introduction of the character -
Babbitt Cecil, male, twelve years old, the eldest son of the current Duke of Cecil family. His mother died of illness half a month ago and he has now been driven out of the house by his aunt.
Cecilia: ...
To be honest, when Cecilia saw the little boy lying there, the first person she thought of was Lorian.
The result turned out to be Babbitt, who should have been in the south according to her inference.
So Babbitt grew up in Petra as a child?
Did the original owner appear here by chance, or did he come here on purpose to find Babbitt?
Cecilia was a little confused again.
But at this time the system does not introduce the relationship between the two people.
As soon as I asked, he went offline again.
Cecilia: ...
She was going to help the man up and see if she could take him somewhere.
As a result, before he even got close, Babbitt was like a bluffing wolf cub. His eyes were clearly full of fear, but his whole face was vicious, as if he was trying to scare the person away.
Pity.
This posture did not scare Cecilia away, but instead made Cecilia feel very uncomfortable.
She first met Babbitt, who was in his twenties. At that time, Babbitt was already a duke who could dominate the south.
The contrast between Babbitt's current state and his current state is really too great.
The child was very alert, but when he saw clearly that the person coming was Cecilia, his expression immediately relaxed.
Cecilia raised her eyebrows slightly.
It seems that this kid knows the original owner.
Cecilia thought of the white moonlight that Babbitt had mentioned before.
Could it be that the original owner was also a tasker?
This is not completely impossible.
The system shows that there are no other taskers in this world except her.
But if the other person leaves when you are there, and appears when you disappear, the system can also achieve the effect displayed.
The more Cecilia thought about it, the more it made sense.
Little did he know that Babbitt relaxed only because he saw that the person coming was a little girl.
In Babbitt's eyes, the little girl looked very calm, but her movements were full of tentativeness, and she was obviously a little scared.
Babbitt fainted as soon as he relaxed mentally.
When Cecilia helped him up, Babbitt had already lost consciousness.
The system showed that the person fainted from hunger.
Cecilia: ...
The original owner had obviously sneaked out, changed his clothes but took a lot of money. Cecilia planned to take Babbitt to find a place to stay.
Cecilia used magic to make it look like others were supporting each other with great effort, but in fact she didn't put in any effort at all.
Babbitt was awakened by the aroma of food.
After finishing his hearty meal, Babbitt began to look at the little girl in front of him.
The little girl in front of him didn't look like she was dressed well, but from her skin to her expression, Babbitt felt that she was not an ordinary child.
Besides, which child from an ordinary family could so easily take a stranger to stay in such an expensive hotel?
This hotel is actually not expensive.
Only in Cecilia's opinion.
For Babbitt, the cost of one day here is almost enough for his weekly expenses.
Babbitt frowned and told Cecilia, "Don't expect me to be grateful to you, and don't even think that I can return the money to you!"
Cecilia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The little thing is quite smart and has already started testing my identity.
Knowing that the other party was testing her, Cecilia did not hide it and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about this little money."
Is he really not a child from an ordinary family?
Cecilia knew that Babbitt was guessing, but she didn't tell him her identity directly.
She didn't know how long she would stay here. What if she went back in the next second? Wouldn't that leave a huge mess for the original owner?
Babbitt naturally couldn't guess that Cecilia was the princess of this country.
Cecilia certainly couldn't stay here forever, so after letting Babbitt feel at ease staying here, she walked towards the palace.
Cecilia didn't know how the original owner got out. Since he got out secretly, it certainly couldn't be a very decent way.
She sighed. Fortunately, there was magic, so she didn't have to find a way to get the original owner out.
Cecilia felt a little uncomfortable returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar bedroom.
She didn't see Celine among the orc maids.
Unlike ten years later, Cecilia this time played the role of the original owner quite realistically, and even the people who took care of Cecilia personally did not notice that this body had a new core.
The next day, Cecilia found an excuse to send everyone out of the bedroom.
After this night, Cecilia still did not return to ten years later, but she did figure out a lot of things.
She now couldn't figure out whether the place she was in was a parallel universe or the past of her own era.
If it is a parallel universe, it doesn’t matter what you do.
If she really went there, Cecilia would have to be careful to avoid causing too big a butterfly effect.
According to the information I learned from Hu Gu Zhi City before, Babbitt should return to Hu Gu Zhi City in a while.
But seeing Babbitt's current situation, Cecilia was a little curious about how he was going to get through?
Cecilia, who had nothing to do, was a little confused.
Since returning to this world again, I have never stopped to rest.
Although she now had time to rest, Cecilia still felt uneasy.
What are you worried about?
Yes.
A war is about to begin in the real world. Almost a day has passed here. How much time has passed on the other side of the reality?
Did Lorian discover his disappearance early again?
Naturally, the system would not give her answers to these questions.
That afternoon, Cecilia thought about it and decided to go find Babbitt.
But Babbitt did not stay in the hotel obediently.
Cecilia was not surprised either.
After all, I am not that familiar with the other party.
Babbitt was quite cautious and didn't trust himself, so it was natural for him to leave.
In Babbitt's view, there are only two types of girls who can easily take out money to provide Babbitt with accommodation:
A rich fool.
A planned conspiracy.
Cecilia didn't look like a fool, and Babbitt felt that the latter identity was more likely.
His aunt is not a good person. Not only did she kick him out, she also found someone to set a trap for him. This is something she could do.
Maybe the girl seemed not to care about the money, but actually didn't pay a penny. She was waiting for me to feel like I had gotten something great and then made me pay such a large sum of money.
Thinking of this, Babbitt dared not stay any longer and left the hotel almost at the same time as Cecilia.
I thought we would never find each other again.
Unexpectedly, when Cecilia turned a corner, she saw the man sneakily trying to steal the bracelet from a man who looked relatively well-off.
Has it come to this?
Cecilia caught the other person in time, causing the person who was almost robbed to look at her sideways.
Babbitt looked at Cecilia with a flushed face.
Although this was not the first time Babbitt had done such a thing, it was still quite embarrassing to be caught in the street by a little girl.
After all, he is still a twelve-year-old child.
Before his mother passed away half a year ago, although life was hard, it was not to the point where he had to become a thief on the street.
After all, this was an attempted theft, and Babbitt thought that even if he was caught, nothing would happen to him.
Cecilia started crying at this time, "Brother, I have been looking for you for a long time, why are you here, don't you want me anymore?"
Many people actually didn't notice Babbitt's previous little actions.
There were people coming and going on the street. Except for the person who was almost robbed, the rest of the people saw such a cute and beautiful girl crying in the street and pointed fingers at Babbitt, the careless brother.
Cecilia still used magic this time, and naturally did not change into the camouflage clothes prepared by the original owner.
Everyone looked at the valuable jewelry on Cecilia, especially the man who was almost robbed. They would never believe that the brother of such a little girl would be reduced to being a thief on the street.
The person who was almost robbed was also quite perceptive. Any piece of jewelry on Cecilia was more expensive than what he had.
Why would people from such a family need to steal?
The man just thought that he was overthinking at that moment, so he didn't look any further and left the crowd.
Many of the onlookers also noticed that there was a huge difference in what the brother and sister were wearing.
Cecilia was still crying, "Brother, can you come home with me? Mom and Dad are worried about you, and I am worried about you too."
Now many people realized that it was the young master of a noble family who ran away from home.
Many people lost interest and went about their own business.
Although the gossip about aristocrats is explosive, not everyone is lucky enough to know it.
What's more, their own lives are already a mess, who would be willing to worry about the troubles of those rich people?
Seeing the crowd around him slowly dispersing, Babbitt also reacted. The little girl in front of him...
You really have some skills.
The two found a secluded place, and Babbitt asked Cecilia what she wanted to do by approaching him.
He then forced Cecilia to ask whether she was sent by her aunt.
Cecilia shook off the non-existent dust on her clothes and asked, "Do you want to live here like this for the rest of your life?"
Babbitt didn't even think about it, "That's impossible!"
"If you don't want to continue like this, just follow me."
Babbitt began to doubt the identity of the person in front of him. With this appearance and temperament, plus the way the other party was dressed today, Babbitt did not think that the little money his aunt had was enough to hire the person in front of him.
But he really couldn't think of anything about him that was worthy of someone of that status coming over in person.
He still doesn't know Cecilia's background, but based on his feeling, this girl is definitely not an ordinary person.
Cecilia once again took Babbitt to the hotel where she had arranged for him to stay. "If you are not satisfied with this place, I can also arrange another place for you to stay."
How could Babbitt be dissatisfied?
I left before because I thought too much.
Now that I think about it, how could my aunt let me take advantage of her and then teach her a lesson?
Cecilia got straight to the point. "I know you are the eldest son of the Cecil family in the south. Do you want to go back?"
Babbitt was stunned.
Petra is full of royal relatives, not to mention the current emperor and the only princess. No one would care about the child of a duke of a territory.
Especially this duke is the duke of the south.
When his mother first brought him here from the south, many people warmly welcomed them.
But after realizing that they could not bring them any benefits, they rarely saw them again.
Naturally, many people in Petra knew his identity, but who would care whether he wanted to go home or not?
Of course he wanted to go home.
But my mother didn't want to go back. She was waiting for my father to come and pick her up until her death.
His naive and ignorant mother didn't even think about the fact that as the duke of a territory, how could his father leave the territory so easily?
After his mother died, the little money she left behind was taken away by his aunt, who said it was for the purpose of better raising him in the future.
A better way to raise him is to use some means on him and then call him an unforgivable bad person and drive him out of the house.
Back to the south?
What does he get in return?
"If you want to go back, I will naturally find a way to send you back, but after you go back, everything will depend on your own ability."
Babbitt finally asked the question that he had been wondering about, "Who are you?"
Cecilia's expression was still very calm, "My name is Cecilia."
