King's Landing

Chancheng, adjacent to Fuyuki City, is where Aoi was born and grew up.

For her, this is a sad place. Ever since she insisted on rebelling against the family's decision and marrying into the Tosaka family, she was no longer the second lady of the Chancheng family, but the wife of Tosaka Tokimi in name. Also a poor woman abandoned by the family.

At the beginning of the Holy Grail War, Tosaka Tosaka had to send his wife and daughter away from Fuyuki City to Aoi’s hometown for a while, but the place where Aoi lived was not the Chancheng family’s natal family, but the Tosaka family. A private pavilion under the name.

Kwai, who was expelled from the house by her father and family, had no face to return to the place where she was born and raised her, and was unable to see her relatives. Just two years ago, Kwai's mother died, and she was not allowed to step in. In that family, the daughter who got married was like water poured out, not to mention that Kui, an unfilial daughter who insulted the family, shamelessly married his own sister to the same man.

Aoi, who came back here again, has been staying in the annex all the time. She needs to take care of her only daughter, Rin. Although there are maids in Don’t Care, she is always worried about leaving Rin to their care.

However, Rin, who is already eight years old, has already gone to school, and she is in the second grade at Yatsudaidai, a prestigious elementary school. So except for weekends and after school, she is in school. Among the cold and unfamiliar, only Aoi faces the full house. Bluestone and icy tatami.

On this day, she finally made the decision to go outside to relax. The place she came to was the Chancheng Park where she used to play when she was a child. After years of entering this park again after many years, Kwai couldn’t help feeling a little bit. The memories of her childhood were flooding. When they came out, she and her sister and her deceased mother often came here, but now, she is the only one left.

"sister."

Sitting in the pavilion at the corner of the park, Kwai muttered to herself as she watched the children and parents playing in the park.

"I will definitely raise Rin well."

A picture of my sister's entrustment before her death appeared in her mind, and Aoi fell into sorrow.

"Sorry, I can't keep Sakura by my side, but she will definitely live well because that person promised me."

Kui's jade hand unconsciously held the pitch black pendant hanging on the snow neck, and the coolness penetrated into her palm.

This pendant has troubled her for three years, seeing things and thinking about people, she once again remembered the most obedient little girl who was taken away, counting the time, she is now 7 years old, if she went to school like Rin , Then just entered the first grade of elementary school.

I don’t know if she has friends now. If she goes to school, her shy and docile personality will be bullied by her classmates. Will the Einzbern’s family take care of her meticulously. After such a long time, Will she have forgotten her original mother, and her sister, Rin, for three years, I don't know how long to wait before we can meet.

"Sakura, can you still see mom?"

When Kwai was lost in thought, a familiar figure came into her sight.

Petite and cute, shy and docile, as well as the red hairband that Kwai personally gave, except that she grew up a bit taller than the little girl in my memory who needs to be held in her arms, everything else is so familiar, Kwai Never forget this girl.

"Sakura... Sakura?"

Kwai, who thought it was an illusion, stared at the cute figure that was approaching.

Until another familiar voice came into her ears, it was like a nightmare that had troubled her for three years.

One point is evil, two points domineering, three points self-confidence, four points coldness. Whenever this voice comes in, Kwai can’t help but think of the dream of that absurd night, but this time is different from the dream, this voice The truth is hard to doubt.

"It's been a long time, Miss Kwai, you are younger and more beautiful than you were three years ago."

"Ah~!?"

When the silver-purple figure stood in front of Kwai's eyes, she finally couldn't help standing up in a gaffe, covering her mouth and exclaiming.

"you you---"

"Miss Kwai, do you remember me? I'm Alice Phil von Einzbern."

The silver-haired and red-eyed princess, how could Aoi forget.

"Miss Ai Li, Ye...Mr. Ye! You, what do you... Am I not dreaming?"

Aoi opened her beautiful eyes incredibly, her body trembling slightly because of excitement and shock.

"Dreaming? Did Miss Kwai dream of us? It is really our honor to make Miss Kwai miss so much."

The amber eyes stared at Kwai panicked. She was afraid that everything about her would be exposed. In that case, she would really have no face to live in this world. As a woman, she actually regarded a teenager as a teenager. The object of obscenity, although it was not her willingness, but the fact is that it was a dream of her own, and she kept repeating it, burning herself with desire.

"What's the matter? Miss Kwai, is it not welcome to see us? Or do you forget us?"

"No! No, no, I'm just a little surprised."

Kwai flickered her eyes and explained in a chaotic tone.

"Hehe, don't mind joking, I know Miss Kwai must have Sakura in her heart, come, Sakura, come and call mother."

Kwai was in a panic, her eyes were instantly taken away by the little girl she saw first.

"cherry……?"

Staring blankly at the little girl who has grown a lot, Kwai's heart surged.

The little girl seemed a little scared, but she still raised her head seriously and stared at Aoi with those big clear eyes.

Gradually, a trace of elite tears began to accumulate in her eyes, and more and more.

"Mom...Mom~"

Finally, the little girl called out the name that had been regrettable for a long time.

For three years, she only called the silver-haired and red-eyed princess around her as "Mother Eri", but for Aoi, she was unique.Who says children can't remember things?Some things, remember, you will remember them all your life.

Blood is thicker than water, and the affection between flesh and blood is forgotten.

At the moment when I saw Aoi, the memory hidden deep in the heart of the little girl suddenly emerged.
