Byron's Blade

When she left home for high school at the age of 13, she once confessed her thoughts to her mother to her mother. She said that she would feel suffocated when she was here. Everything made her feel familiar and strange, kind and scary.So after she left home to live in school, she rarely went home.Until now, she would never go back unless necessary.

She was Lanny Jane Friesman, and her household registration records showed two names, the other being Moranie.Like her elder brother, she shares both her father's and her mother's surnames, and has the inheritance rights of both families under federal law.In fact, many people in the Federation have the same situation as the Friesman family. Today, after the patriarchal era, the habit of inheriting surnames has also changed greatly.

The name "Lanny" was given by her grandmother whom she had never met.In Old German, it symbolizes the goddess of the moon.Correspondingly, her brother's name "Sona" means the sun god in German.The grandmother once said to her father: If you have children in the future, the boy will be called the Sun God, and the girl will be called the Moon God.It seems that General Friesman has fully accepted his mother's opinion.

Grandmother died when she was three years old, and died on the southeast ocean with no bones left.Prior to this, Grandma had been training her fleet along the southeast coast, and she had never returned to the main city of Gaia since the wedding of Admiral Freesman and the daughter of the Mo family.So neither her brother Sona nor Lanny herself had ever seen her.They only saw her oil painting in military uniform and some old photos in the sacrificial hall at home.She is a hale and hearty battlefield veteran with a personable presence and a strong aura. When she was in her 70s, she looked only in her fifties.General Friesman stood with her, not like mother and son, but like sister and brother.

This battlefield veteran is the only person who has dared to lead the fleet across the ocean in the past 50 years. Even if she never comes back, she is still the most admired figure in the entire Federation.She is the former seven-pointed star general - Christian van Vriesman.Her life was like a shooting star, full of ups and downs, extremely exciting, and finally became one of the seven generals, which is a completely miraculous story.

Even though Lanny has never met her grandmother, her grandmother has been her idol since she was a child.She and her brother Sona grew up listening to their grandmother's stories.Grandma was once praised as "the true body of Artemis", the goddess of adventure and freedom that exists in reality. Her free spirit is so strong that people admire her. Her broad mind and broad vision are all admirable.She once said: Columbus discovered America by chance.And I was heading for that new continent. Human beings can't shrink back in a corner and be content with the status quo. Without the spirit of adventure and freedom, what is the difference between human beings and domestic animals in captivity?

In fact, thinking about it, it was because of her grandmother that Lanny planted a seed of love for freedom in her heart since she was a child.She never liked the feeling of being restrained. Her ideal in life is to live freely and happily. For this, she is willing to pay any price.

However, there are too many helplessness and compromises in a person's life. When you are not strong enough, you can only compromise.However, when you are strong, you have to take care of all aspects.There are many worries in front of us, and nothing can bind a person more than the word "alive".Lanny didn't understand how her grandmother lived freely. Maybe her grandmother also had a lot of distress and confusion, but she never said it.After all, Lanny is not a grandmother, not as powerful as her.

Since Lanny was born, all kinds of troubles and melancholy have come from only one person—her father.

Lanny's father, Chuck Sutter Van Friesman, was an extremely terrifying existence in her impression since she was a child.It's not that he looks terrifying, he is dignified, and his appearance is considered to be the best among men in the entire Federation.It's just that the aura inadvertently emanating from his body will subconsciously scare children with keen senses.

After my grandmother passed away and my father officially inherited the position of general, this feeling reached its peak.For a long time, Lanny avoided him.Her older brother, Sona, was a little better than her, but for some reason, Lanny was afraid of her father.Even though Admiral Friesman was very amiable to her, she found it difficult to approach.

Lanny's father and grandmother are two complete opposites.Grandma is cheerful, upright and bright, always dazzling.However, his father is deep and introverted, gentle and reticent, wise and close to a monster.Folklore says that the father was not the child born to the grandmother, but this is actually true.The grandmother does not have a male partner and therefore does not have a biological son, and the father is the grandmother's adopted son and only child.This matter is considered a semi-public fact in the upper class circle.

Lanny's father, the dignified General Friesman, was a child who had lived under the shadow of his adoptive mother since he was a child.

Because of his status as the adopted son of a general, he dared not let his mother down in the slightest, and he did not want any reason for his near-perfect mother to be accused.Yunwen Yunwu, everything must not be bad, not only to satisfy the mother, but also to satisfy the eyes and ears of the outside world.In this way, everyone will say that he is indeed the son of General Friesman, and he will inherit the position of general in the future, which is expected by everyone.

Lan Ni heard from her mother that her grandmother was not very strict with her father. On the eve of the wedding, her grandmother had a private conversation with her mother, asking her to take care of her father more in the future and not let him push herself too hard.The mother said that her grandmother was actually very helpless. She always felt that she had not done a good job as a mother when it came to her father's affairs.

The grandmother said to the mother: This child... has been burdened with too many things, and now he can't let go.

Lanny asked her mother, why did her father push herself like this?The mother replied: It probably has something to do with his childhood experience.It's just that Chuck Friesman never wanted to tell anyone about his childhood, so except for his grandmother, almost no one knew what happened to him before he entered the general's mansion.

Chuck Friesman is undoubtedly strict and gentle to his children, just like most good fathers in the world, he is not good at expressing, but full of deep love.It's just that in Lan Ni's mind, her father's love is mixed with a lot of inexplicable and complicated things, which makes the expression of love look a little bit bad.It is precisely because of this part of the deterioration that she felt extremely terrifying and depressing when she was a child.

She felt that her father would occasionally look at her with extremely indifferent eyes, not as if he was looking at a real person, but as if he was looking at some kind of object, not to mention that this person was her own daughter.Her father doesn't seem to value anyone's life, including his own, and that's little Lannie's biggest fear of her father.

Lani, 6, told her brother Sona, who was 5 years older, about her fear. Sona, 11, covered her mouth and her little face was pale.Lan Ni knew at that moment that this was not just her own delusion, her brother also felt the same way.

Later, in the process of growing up, several things happened, which made Lanny more and more convinced of her guess about her father, and became more and more alienated from her father.She herself has gradually developed a fox-like cunning character who is calm, smiles like a flower, but can do black hands in private.She will have such a character, it is entirely out of self-protection, she has been insecure since she was a child, no matter what, she has to abandon her innocence and equip herself with weapons.

The elder brother Sona also gradually put on the disguise of being lazy and not caring about anything, which is actually another means of protecting himself.Sona was indeed a little tired. He was different from Lan Ni. He was the eldest son of the Friesman family and the first heir to the general in the future. The pressure on his shoulders was much heavier than Lan Ni.He also had much more opportunities to get in touch with his father than Lanny.Sona is a very bright kid, which is why he chooses to show his languor and indifference.

But in fact, Lanny herself didn't realize that sometimes even she had a tendency to despise her own life.It is difficult to say what kind of psychological change this tendency is, but occasionally she will make very risky moves, and she seems to be unaware of the danger.In addition, in order to achieve the goal by any means, even including her own life, she did it once after meeting Mu Li, and she and her father seemed to be getting more and more alike in the dark.

I still remember that something happened on the eve of Lan Ni's 7th birthday, which may be the opportunity for Lan Ni to experience this psychological change.This incident was not a trivial matter. At that time, everyone in the general's mansion broke out in a cold sweat. All the servants in the entire general's mansion were changed, and all the people who should be cleaned up were cleaned up.

Lani's birthday was November 124, 11, which coincided with the 22th anniversary of Marshal Rudolph's birthday in that year.Marshal Rudolf's birthday and Lanny's birthday differ by one month, on December 150th.So on the eve of Lanni's birthday, the main city of Gaia has entered into a joyous and festive atmosphere preparing for "Christmas Day".Many businessmen who worked hard outside have also returned home and reunited with their families.

A guest came to the General's Mansion. It was a distant relative of the mother who came to the main city of Gaia to visit relatives by the way.Lan Ni still remembered that it was her eldest cousin, her mother's distant cousin—Jiang Siyan who came here.The big cousin brought her married couple, who was also a woman, and their children, a girl who was as old as her, came to the general's mansion and stayed there.During the period, Lan Ni often went to play with that girl, but that girl was very rigid and serious, and she didn't know anything about Lan Ni's jokes, and she had to fight for everything.Lanny became unhappy later, so she didn't go to her again.

Lan Ni's memory of her aunt's partner is very vague. She seems to have only met her once, and she has forgotten her appearance. Her name seems to be Mu Xin, and she is also a self-made businessman. She seems to be very powerful.It was only later that I heard that she seemed to be dead. Not long after, in the spring of the next year when they came to Gaia City as guests, Mu Xin died for unknown reasons.After Mu Xin's death, Auntie Da Biao has been eating fast and praying to the Buddha at Jiang's house, and she doesn't come out behind closed doors.What happened to the kid, Lanny never saw her again anyway.

But Lan Ni was very impressed with that child, she really remembered it clearly, the child was Jiang Muli, he was young, he looked like a young adult, he was very sensible and well-behaved.He is very serious about everything he does, even if he is playing games, he will definitely do his best.

Lan Ni always felt that she was not pleasing to the eye. In Lan Ni's young heart, this kind of child who behaved particularly well in front of adults should secretly be duplicity. She hated such children very much.Lan Ni had a clear distinction between love and hate since she was a child. After she thought she saw Jiang Muli clearly, Lan Ni didn't bother to play with her.

With the arrival of the big cousin's family, a rumor began to spread in the general's mansion inexplicably, saying that the old well in the general's mansion was actually a good place chosen by the ancestor of the Jiang family who was good at physiognomy. .A thick ironwood manhole cover has been pressed above the old well. The wood presses the water and seals the gold. There are heavy treasures in that well.

In fact, this rumor has been circulating a long time ago, and it is not the first time that Lanny, who is at least 7 years old, has heard of it.It's just that no one took it seriously, because the well had long since dried up, and there was nothing in it except dead branches and rotten leaves. It was sealed with an iron-wood cover just because it happened to be the right size, so that no one in the house would accidentally fall down.But at that time, I don't know why this rumor was very popular, probably because the eldest cousin representing the Jiang family came to the Mo family's ancestral house, so it became popular again.

Just two days before Lan Ni's birthday, her cousin Mo Kexin was brought to the mansion.Lanny is very happy. She likes to play with her cousin. She is very caring and gentle. She also understands her very well and always listens to what she has to say.For Lanny, her cousin is her best best friend.At that time, Mo Kexin's father, that is, Lan Ni's uncle was no longer there, but her aunt was still there. My cousin came to the mansion with my aunt, but since my uncle left, my aunt's health has been deteriorating. At that time, he was already in a terminally ill state.

However, the incident started on the evening when Mo Kexin came.
