[HP] Once Upon a Time in England

"If you have nothing to do in your free time, just go and accompany your nominal daughter." Rozier ordered in the midst of his busy schedule, "She was crying endlessly, seriously disturbing other children."

"Crying is normal. Any child would be scared in a place like this."

Rozier giggled: "Your son is not. I have heard about his feat a few days ago, and I have to say that he meets my expectations."

What you said is also in line with his expectations.She suppressed her anger and asked calmly, "Do you still want to keep him?"

"Of course. A ready-made excellent heir. Do you think I will have a child by myself?" Rozier seemed to think her words were funny, "Don't be stupid, enjoy the time with him."

Her heart sank: What trick did Rozier come up with again?

"Your tone seems to be explaining the aftermath."

"This is the empire I built with my own hands," Rozier pointed out. "Even if I destroy it with my own hands, I don't want it to fall into the hands of others."

She couldn't figure out what Rozier meant, but the other person's words reminded her of a long-standing name: "I don't know what Olivia will say when she sees you now."

"Olivia?" Rozier withdrew his smile and answered unhurriedly, "She will shake her head, sigh, and then stay silent. Just like she always does."

-1978-

"Olivia! Wake up!" In the haze, a hand shook her shoulder, "Wake up."

The ghost and fireworks went away in an instant, and she woke up in the familiar voice, and the moment she opened her eyes, she saw an unexpected person: "Cornelia?"

It was a sad and still March midnight, and the dancing flames in the chandeliers poured light down and gave Rozier a soft golden rim.

When the clock struck twelve, she blinked: "You shouldn't be here."

"No one stopped me." Cornelia replied quietly, her eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and no one could see what was hidden inside, "Are you okay?"

Olivia was silent.She calmly put away the papers spread out on the desk one by one, and one of the pages was covered with out-of-control ink marks drawn by a quill pen. She had obviously fallen into a coma due to overwork.

Yes... This is the study room, not the execution ground of the Dark Lord in the dream.she is at home.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

"I dreamed of my father's death." Olivia was wearing a simple and elegant white robe. Under the light, her face was as noble and elegant as a god's, but the long black veil hanging from the top of her head to her feet showed that she was full of enthusiasm, " He has realized that he was framed by someone, but he has no time to defend himself."

There was a smile in Cornelia's eyes, and she squeezed Olivia's cold hand: "Bellatrix must be responsible for this."

"Is it really her? Or is there someone else?" Olivia babbled, "When did Signus offend her, and why was she so ruthless to my family?"

"Fool," Cornelia sighed, patted her on the back, and said softly, "Bella is penny-pinching, she's just blaming Signus for Narcissa's miscarriage. Of course , Signus is also responsible for this matter. Why didn't he restrain that woman, and let her cause such a catastrophe..."

that woman?Olivia closed her eyes, recalling everything that had happened in the past few days.A sudden accident charged Signus with an unforgivable crime: poisoning and murdering his opponents.The Dark Lord was furious and imprisoned him in Castle Black.At the same time, whoever gave Signus the source of life plan to his wife - now it should be said to be his ex-wife - she went directly to his mistress and taught the latter a lesson with the Cruciatus Curse.The mistress made trouble all the way to Castle Black. Although she didn't offend the Dark Lord, she knocked Mrs. Malfoy down, caused her to miscarry, and offended Bella... After that, Olivia's father He secretly begged to see the Dark Lord, was charged with poisoning, and was killed by the Dark Lord on the spot, but the Dark Lord did not release Signus. It is said that Bella was behind it, saying that he wanted to assassinate the Dark Lord...

How could it be possible to assassinate the Dark Lord!No matter how daring Signus was, he wasn't crazy enough to go against the Dark Lord.

At the end of the dream, Olivia saw her father collapsed under a green light.At the same moment, a giant snake coiled up and feasted on his corpse.Shadows enveloped her, and she heard screams in her ears, like ominous music——

"This series of things happened in just a few days," she said softly. "How could Bella quickly plan such a revenge plan...it was premeditated."

"The poison was actually administered by old Watson. He heard about Signus' overall plan from Lucius. As for why Lucius decided to tell him, I don't know." Cornelia's eyes flickered one time.

The old Watson she was talking about was Signus' former father-in-law.As a master of potions, when the Dark Lord wanted him to work for him, old Watson avoided being branded or killed by supplying potions that had always been handed over to the Dark Lord by Signus.

After the incident, Old Watson was also summoned by the Dark Lord, but he could speak eloquently, so he just left Castle Black in full swing.His daughter avenged Signus' mistress on the same day.The father and daughter left overseas the next day, fleeing to a place out of the Dark Lord's reach.

In all fairness, Signus deserved to be blamed.Olivia trembled, lowered her head to twist the white gauze at her cuffs, and remained silent for a long time.

"Don't think about it." Cornelia handed her a handkerchief, "What are you going to do next?"

The Bulstrode family was in ruins, Signus was in a cage, and the old Mrs. Borstead was almost half-crazy... Olivia shook her head.

"After all, you have never dealt with these Death Eaters before." Cornelia suggested, "Go to Regulus, he will help you."

"I won't do that." She whispered, and Cornelia stared at her for a long time, "What's wrong?" Olivia felt something strange and raised her eyes in amazement.

"Do you feel ashamed to see him?" Cornelia turned her eyes away, and suddenly sighed softly, "You don't owe him anything, Olivia. Given your relationship, he has absolutely no reason to stand idly by , and Bella has gone too far in this matter."

"He's bored enough, I don't want to mess with him."

"Bored?" Cornelia demanded. "Is it because of the Dark Lord?"

"He didn't want to talk about it." Olivia sealed the letter carefully, "I can't turn the tide on Signus, so let it be."

"Aren't you even going to try it?" Cornelia raised her voice in amazement, "The dungeons at Castle Black would make life worse than death, and who knows how the Dark Lord plans to punish him!"

Olivia was indifferent: "When he repeatedly used my relationship with Regulus to dominate him, I knew that in his eyes I was no different from other items up for sale. Since Signus has no scruples Our brother and sister love each other, why should I take the risk of saving him from fire and water?"

"But... the downfall of Signus will not benefit you, and may even put you in danger." Cornelia persuaded softly, "For example, the source of life plan—"

"The Dark Lord still intends to go ahead with the plan?" She turned to Cornelia. "Who is he going to hand it over to?"

Cornelia did not speak, her face was hidden in the soft light of the candle, looking dim and unpredictable.

Olivia's eyes changed several times: "The benefit of a fisherman."

"Please don't say that." Cornelia was silent for a moment, and smiled softly, "I have my own difficulties and last resort. Among the Death Eaters, if you don't try your best, you will fall to Signus if you are not careful. today's situation."

Olivia sneered, tears were about to drip from the corners of her eyes: "You go."

"I didn't mean to hurt you—"

"—Just using me, just like my good brother." Olivia wiped away her tears fiercely. The walls of the study are painted with every generation of heirs of the Burst family. The paintings spanning a hundred years are gorgeous and complicated. , the ancestors in the painting looked down at her, with a sad light in their eyes, "You just want me to find Regulus, and take this opportunity to provoke the conflict between Regulus and Bella—I Not a fool to be fooled, I have eyes, I can see."

Cornelia was speechless, and Olivia walked around her and walked to the window to hand the letter to the owl.

"You'll still try to rescue Signus, won't you?"

"No." Olivia laughed mockingly, her face was soaked in the moonlight, her face was beautiful and pale, "I wrote to return my wedding dress. After all, a commodity is not eligible to choose a buyer."
