Personality V: I will save everything

In the Oritis Manor, this was the umpteenth time that I collapsed on a chair and stared blankly.

It’s so boring. There’s nothing interesting happening recently.

Carl and Victor have now developed into a pen pal relationship. Victor really likes to send letters to Carl, and he does so every day, one letter a day.

I have also read the letters that Victor wrote to Karl. They only described some interesting things in his life, such as a bird flying to the window in the morning or new flowers blooming in a certain family's garden.

The letter that Carl wrote back to him was also very simple, for example, yesterday's snack was strawberry cake, and he wanted to eat pudding tomorrow.

I guess they haven't met before? (The time when Carl forced himself in front of Victor doesn't count) After all, their letters were all delivered by postman.

But it’s better this way. If they meet in person, the relationship between them might become complicated.

Sometimes, keeping a certain distance can help people better feel the other person's presence and significance.

I hope they can continue to get along with each other in this simple and beautiful way.

But Carl seems a little dissatisfied......

What he wants is a friend who can run with him, jump with him, and play games with him, not a friend who only maintains a relationship through letters.

So he thought of another person who could be his good friend.

.................................................

"Sister Lily, long time no see."

That's right, Carl was thinking of Lily Baril, the person whom Jose Badem had taken him and Eli to meet at the racetrack.

However, I was not surprised at all that Carl knew Lily. In my eyes, all this was just like chess pieces falling on a chessboard. Every chess piece was on its predetermined track, and there was no extraordinary behavior.

In fact, the explanation is very simple. Eli has the ability to predict the future, and Jose Badem, who likes to stir up trouble, will definitely not let this matter go.

What about Carl? He usually stayed in the manor most of the time, and he was a person who liked to travel around, so he would definitely take this opportunity to go with Jose Baden and Eli, so it was only a matter of time before he met Lily.

I picked up the teacup in front of me and took a sip, "Hmm... (disgusted)"

It's so bitter and astringent. What kind of tea do they use here?

After taking a sip, I couldn't drink it anymore and silently put the teacup back.

Yes, you heard it right. I also came to Baril’s house with Carl.

After all, I am the same as Carl. I used to lie slumped in the chair in the study, feeling very bored. It’s nice to find something to do occasionally.

And this time I didn't use the image of "Mrs. Karen", but chose a male appearance. In this way, even if someone saw us together, it would not cause unnecessary speculation and trouble.

After all, if I showed up as "Mrs. Karen", it might cause some unnecessary trouble, because I had heard about Egg from Jose Baden. That guy actually drew a picture of me as "Mrs. Karen" at the time and put it in the exhibition for everyone to see.

It seems that until the storm is over, the appearance of "Mrs. Karen" will be temporarily taboo for me.

I looked at Carl, who was talking happily with Lily, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Carl looked very happy and got along well with Lily. Seeing his happy smile, I felt very relieved. However, my thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

Carl probably doesn't remember this image anymore... I miss it so much. I brought Carl back to the manor in this image. At that time, he was still a little baby who needed my care and attention. Now, he has grown into a handsome young man. Time flies!

I recall the memories of the past with great emotion. Back then, I held Carl in my arms and fed him. At that time, he was just a fragile and helpless little guy who needed my wholehearted love and care. As he grew up, he began to learn to walk, and walked towards me little by little with his short legs.

Every time he called out "Mom", my heart melted. Those beautiful moments are embedded in the depths of my memory like precious gems.

............................................

After Lily and Ka played for a while, Lily finally asked out the real doubts in her heart.

"Carl, can you tell me your true identity?" At that time on the racecourse, the ability that Carl demonstrated had already made Lily have some guesses in her mind, and now she wanted to confirm it even more.

"Sister Lily, why don't you guess a riddle with me? If you guess it right, I'll tell you, how about that?"

Lily agreed, and Carl told his riddle -

It is the end point that every life must pass through.

It is the most feared thing for every life.

Countless lives want to escape from its grasp.

Countless lives want to prolong their encounter with it,

But in the end, all efforts were in vain.

It is the cruelest thing in the world.

It is also the most gentle thing in the world.

Because it treats everything equally.

...................................................

Lily thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what Karl was talking about. What was something that everyone was afraid of but couldn't escape from?

"Death." As I listened to the conversation between the two children, I silently said the correct answer in my heart.

.............................................

Death is a heavy and mysterious topic. It is the end of life and a fate that everyone must face. People have various feelings and descriptions about death.

From a biological point of view, death is a natural process of life. When the cells and tissues of an organism can no longer maintain normal functions, life ends. This is an inevitable process, as natural as birth.

However, for human beings, death is not only a biological phenomenon, but also has profound philosophical, religious and cultural significance. In different cultures and religions, people have different understandings and interpretations of death.

In some cultures, death is seen as part of life and a reincarnation process. People believe that the soul continues to exist after death and is reborn in another world. This concept gives people a kind of comfort and hope about death, making them believe that life is eternal.

In other cultures, death is seen as an end, the end of life. People are afraid and uneasy about death because it means losing everything, including relatives, friends and everything they own. This concept makes people cherish life more and strive to create more value in a limited time.

No matter how people view death, it is an inevitable reality.

The answer to the puzzle posed by Carl is both death and himself.

That's right, I let Carl take charge of the world after the death of living things and let him control everyone's birth, aging, illness and death as well as the predetermined life after death. Just like Naib's comrades who died on the battlefield, Carl reincarnated them into a place without war, poverty and hunger.

Carl represents both death and death itself.

Death is cruel because it takes away the most beautiful and important things in people's lives one by one, but at the same time death is gentle because after people die, they will be able to see the most important things in their lives again.

Death is just a new beginning.

..................................................

Lily thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with the answer to the puzzle, so she decided not to think about it anymore. She planned to take Carl to see her brother Simon.

Since the last accident at the racetrack that almost injured Simon, Simon was greatly frightened and had been lying in bed for a long time before he finally recovered.

(In fact, he was frightened by Fan Wujiu's soul-calming bell and almost lost his soul. He had to lie on the bed for a long time before he recovered. Fan Wujiu was therefore locked in an umbrella by Carl and was not released until a whole month later.)

Carl followed Lily obediently and went to find Simon.

Lily led the way and told Carl about the strange things that had recently appeared in her home.

First, after Simon almost had an accident at the racetrack, his father locked himself in the room and remained silent for several days. Finally, he came out, but his father had changed since then.

Lily said that her father used to like taking her and Simon to some parties, but now, Lily is rarely taken out by her father.

Not only did her father not allow Lily to attend other family banquets, but even Lily's own family rarely held banquets. Although the lively feeling of the past was missing, her father also spent more time with her and Simon, which made Lily very happy.

The only thing that made Lily feel strange was that when her father hugged Lily and Simon recently, he would always stroke her head over and over again, and then say "I'm sorry".

This made Lily feel very strange. Her father hadn't done anything to let her down.

.................................................. .....

In fact, ever since Simon almost had an accident at the racetrack, Baril went home and thought carefully about what Jose Badem had said to him.

Then he suddenly woke up and realized that he had made a huge mistake in his life from the very beginning.

From the moment he was born, he always secretly competed with his brother. Why did his mediocre brother inherit the family when he was only born a few years later? He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to figure it out. This had become a knot in his heart that could never be untied.

He was not convinced. He felt that his brother's achievements were only because of the family's support. If it were him, he would definitely be able to do better! Therefore, he has been working hard to prove his worth, wanting everyone to know that he is the real strong man and he deserves the recognition and support of the family!

However, after Simon almost got into trouble, coupled with what Jose Badem said, he suddenly realized that everything he had done over the years was just self-torture.

He has been pursuing illusory power and status, but has ignored the most important people and things around him.

He suddenly felt extremely regretful and self-blame. He didn't know how to face Simon and Lily, let alone how to make up for his mistakes. He finally understood what he had been fighting for all these years...!

After his initial awakening, he followed what Jose Badem said and began to restrain himself. He no longer brought his two children to appear in front of various family members, and his family rarely held banquets. Perhaps it was good to continue to be mediocre like this. At least in this way, the family could always be together in peace.

...................................................

Simon didn't know Carl. To be exact, when Carl threw the umbrella out, Fan Wujiu's soul-calming bell made Simon faint immediately. He didn't see Carl at all and didn't know what happened at that time.

However, I don't know if everyone agreed with this statement, or thought it was better to hide it from Simon, but everyone agreed to tell Simon that the horse suddenly went crazy, causing him to fall off the horse and faint on the spot, so he had no memory of what happened afterwards.

Although this explanation was a bit far-fetched, it seemed reasonable to Simon. After all, he only remembered that his remaining horse suddenly went crazy, then he was dizzy, and he knew nothing about what happened afterwards.

So when Simon saw Carl, the first thing he said was, "Oh, what a cute little sister, what's your name?"

Carl: (°?° ╬)

Actually, it’s not Simon’s fault. He mistook Carl for a girl. Carl was raised by the owner of the manor... How should I put it? He really looked like a little princess. And... This was really a coincidence. It was very popular among the nobles nowadays to dress their daughters in boys’ clothes to make them look very heroic.

(Actually, this is quite common. People in Europe really like to do things like fake boys and fake girls. For example, they once believed that putting girls' skirts on boys could confuse the sight of the god of death and allow boys to grow up safely. ┐（─__─）┌)

"I am a man."
