As soon as Adeline's fingertips touched the line, numerous memories unfolded in her head.
Starting from the moment she was born, all the scenes that Adeline had seen while crawling as a toddler still remained.
Her parents smiling brightly at her as she took her first steps, and Enoch and Leo clapping their hands happily. Even the three siblings standing in front of the cradle when Simeon, the youngest, was born.
The seemingly happy memories of her childhood were overflowing.
Time passed peacefully, and she reached the age of fifteen. When she reached that age, Adeline held her breath without even realizing it.
She was fifteen when she got on the carriage to travel with her parents. She could now see the moment she was brainwashed, which was what she wanted to know.
[It's your first time going to the North, isn't it?]
[Yes. Have you been there before, Father?]
[Of course, I have. The winters there are really fierce. I don't know how they live there.]
[Then is it also cold in the summer?]
[Compared to our summer, it's much colder. You'll be surprised when you go.]
In the memories Adeline was watching, the carriage was heading north.
'Where were we going the day we were attacked? Was it also the North? No, I don't think so...'
Adeline didn't know where she was headed the day she lost her memory. However, she felt that the memory she was seeing now was not of the day she was attacked.
[It may be unexpected, but the more I think about His Grace's situation, the sadder it is. The grand duchess passed away early, and even the grand duke and the prince left this world too soon.]
[It's sad that he was left alone in a single day. Was he only fourteen when he received the title of grand duke?]
Marquis and Marchioness Tien sighed, saying how sad it was.
'They're talking about Kael. Did I go with my parents to meet Kael?'
They were without a doubt talking about Kael. She felt even more confused thinking that she had visited him with her parents. She had no idea what was going on.
[He doesn't seem to be very lenient. Though he's your age, he's in a higher position, Adeline, so please be polite. I'm not at all worried about how well you'll behave, but I should still tell you.]
[Of course, Father. Don't worry.]
Adeline smiled brightly and looked at her father. The young Adeline approached her father and mother in such a friendly manner and acted cute, and love overflowed from the eyes of Marquis and Marchioness Tien as they looked at their daughter.
It was a beautiful moment that Adeline could not remember at all.
The carriage quickly reached the northern castle. There was no attack. It wasn't even raining. It wasn't 'that day'.
A much younger-looking Zion came running out in a hurry and said that the grand duke's patrolling of the territory was being delayed. He apologized and asked for forgiveness for the discourtesy of not being able to greet them in person.
Marquis Tien reassured Zion that it was okay, and young Adeline was busy looking around the unfamiliar place.
After looking around the room where she would be staying for a while, Adeline headed straight to the garden. Wondering what a garden in the coldest place of the empire would look like, she quickly wanted to take a look at it.
