The Wheel of Chronos

Sharon can't forget the day when her life turned 180 degrees for the first time, that was the morning of April 161th in the 12st year of the new calendar ([-]th year of the imperial calendar).In her unchanging life, a beautiful elf broke into her. From then on, studying, reading, practicing martial arts, socializing, all these things that make herself better and better seem to be no longer so important. What she needs is no longer The praise of her from the outside world is not her father's approval of her.The most important thing in her life is her, and she has become a meter of sunshine that illuminates her monotonous life.

This day was an ordinary rest day, and the servants in the Spencer mansion were busy as usual.Sharon slept in her room until 7:[-], then woke up naturally.Rubbing her sleepy face, she sat up slowly, stroked her messy long hair, and then yawned uncontrollably.

The door was knocked, and Aunt Qiong's voice sounded outside the door:

"Miss? Are you awake?"

"Yes, I'm awake." Sharon replied, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stood up and stretched.

Aunt Qiong opened the door and came in. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, wash up and go downstairs, and eat as soon as possible. The master left early in the morning, maybe someone will come to the house soon."

Someone?Ah... She suddenly remembered that her father mentioned it to her last night, but she was careless and didn't care much.Today is the day my stepmother and stepsister are moving in.This was the first time she met her stepmother and stepsister, and it was impossible to say that there was no resistance in her heart.But her biological mother died prematurely, and she never left any deep memory in her mind.Since her father chose the partner he wanted, she should also support her, so she easily accepted the fact that her father remarried.

In fact, she always thought that her stepmother and stepsister would not have much interaction with her, because it was hard to say whether she would still be living at home after four months.Although she is only 16 years old, this year is her last year of high school at Eton College. This spring's military recruitment has ended ahead of schedule. After the summer vacation, she will enter the highest military academy she has always dreamed of.The highest military school is a school under full military management, and students are not allowed to go to school. Regardless of their status, students in the first and second grades of the university are uniformly required to live on campus, and she will not live at home by then.Even in the third and fourth year of junior year, the number of places for day study is limited, and students must apply based on their ability.

Urged by Aunt Joan, after washing, Xue Lun changed out of her nightgown, put on a snow-white shirt with a stand-up collar, a delicate ribbon tie, and playful overalls. Ponytail, tied with a dark blue ribbon.Aunt Joan looked at her with satisfaction:

"Our eldest lady is just beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears, and this outfit is particularly bookish."

Xue Lun was used to Aunt Joan's compliments, so she smiled lightly and said thank you.She grew up surrounded by praises since she was a child. She inherited the beautiful facial features from her father, the beautiful long hair from her deceased mother, and the pair of sapphire-like eyes that belonged exclusively to the Spencer family. The advantages.

She went downstairs to have breakfast, and Uncle Jack served her at the dining table. Sharon loved to drink milk, so she must have a cup for breakfast every day.This morning it's pancakes, she doesn't like too sweet food, so their pancakes don't put honey.When she sat at the dining table, she saw that her father’s empty coffee cup was still on the side and hadn’t had time to take it away. The graphic news was playing on the display screen next to the dining table. Her father’s morning homework was to watch it while eating breakfast. news.This traditional British custom has been firmly passed down within the Spencer family to this day.

Sharon's father, Nurent Spencer, had to drink coffee every morning, and Sharon shunned coffee, a luxurious but sour drink.Her father always used this point to say that she was still a child who hadn't grown up, and Sharon was very unconvinced. How could she be a child who couldn't grow up when she drank milk, and an adult when she drank coffee?This is too unreasonable.Since she was a child, she had hoped to become an outstanding adult. The elite education made her demand herself to strive for the top in every way, be strict with herself on the inside, and be consistent on the outside. She must always show the elegance and calmness of the British aristocrats in front of outsiders.What I yearn for most is to be like my father, to be the pillar of the empire, to be a person who can contribute to the country and add glory to the British.So she cared very much about what her father said to her, and she always reflected on herself and corrected it, but she couldn't accept the argument about milk and coffee.

Sharon took a sip from the milk glass, wiped off the white lines left on her lips, and read the news this morning while cutting open the fried egg with a knife and fork.Recently, there have been a lot of news about Princess Tianyang.This imperial princess, who is four years younger than herself, is actually the first genius girl who can pilot an amphibious mecha. Recently, she sailed [-] nautical miles in an amphibious mech for the first time, and her speed broke the record set by herself. , The news is overwhelming, and Sharon can't help but notice it.

Sure enough, there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people. The proud Xue Lun also understands that Princess Tianyang's excellence is not something she can compare to.I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet her when I am admitted to the highest military academy.

When she finished her breakfast slowly and the servants had just finished clearing the dining table, Father Nurent's car had already driven into the courtyard.Sharon tidied up her appearance, then opened the door, stood at the door, and led the servants around her to prepare to welcome the new members of the family.No matter what she thinks about the arrival of her stepmother and stepsister in her heart, on the surface, she should show respect and courtesy, no less.That was her father's partner and her stepmother, who had become her family at the moment of naturalization, and being kind to each other is the most basic quality of a well-educated person.

Father's car stopped right in front of the gate of the mansion. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for his father. He got out of the car first.Seeing that Xue Lun was standing at the main gate with a dignified demeanor, the handsome middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile.The clothes on his body were not very solemn, and the black casual suit set off his tall and muscular figure.There was a short mustache around his lips, well-trimmed, and his short hair combed meticulously. Sharon's eyebrows and his were almost imprinted in the same mold, while his sharp-edged face showed the unique fortitude of men.

As he got out of the back seat, the two women also got out of the car.One older and one younger, the elder wore a blue and white dress and a beige thin windbreaker, looking solemn and elegant; the younger wore a snow-white three-quarter-sleeve dress, April It was still a little cool, but it was probably because it was a little hot in the car. Her coat was hanging on her arms, and she was wearing a big wide-brimmed sunhat on her head.

The sun was shining today. When she got out of the car, the sun shone on her body, as if it had been sprinkled with gold powder, making her whole body glow.The moment she got out of the car, there was a breeze that lifted the brim of her hat. She raised her hand to hold the hat in a little panic, and her feet in small leather shoes staggered cutely before she stood still.The flaxen-colored long curly hair scattered on the shoulders and back also fluttered with the breeze. While holding down the hat, she raised her face, and her eyes naturally fell on Xue Lun who was standing above the steps.

From birth to now, Josephine has never seen such an awe-inspiring and handsome girl. She stands tall and straight on the steps, like a small green pine tree, her sharp and keen eyes are watching her, and for some reason there is A faint smile, as if she was very happy to see her embarrassing just now.

Josephine was already very nervous, but now her cheeks were blushing, and she unconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look any further.She came to this strange home for the first time today, and met a strange person who was about to become her sister. She was afraid that she would offend the other person, so she didn't dare to show her inner emotions at all, and she didn't want the other person to see her emotions .She hopes to be as calm as possible, at least not to lose face of her mother.

What a shy girl, Sharon thought.After the girl looked at her, she kept her head down. No matter when they greeted and talked at the door, or when the servants settled down and saluted after entering the house, or when they went upstairs to see the room, the girl didn't raise her head. Come.

Why are you so shy?She is clearly such a beautiful and lovely girl, those amber eyes are so beautiful, gentle and pitiful, as charming as water, if she can stare at people generously, she will not be able to fascinate all beings.But she was so shy, which made Xue Lun's heart soften even more.Within a quarter of an hour of meeting, she was suddenly full of curiosity about this girl who became her step-sister.A quarter of an hour ago, she could never have imagined that she would be in such a state of mind.

In contrast, all her attention from her stepmother Lilian was diverted by this girl named Josephine.

Sharon didn't know that Josephine had been in torment. She tried to lower her sense of existence and try not to be noticeable, but for some reason, her new sister kept staring at her for a moment. moved away.Her cheeks were hot, and she wished she could escape as soon as possible.God, God, doesn't this noble lady know that it is rude to stare at people like this?Shouldn't she be an aristocratic woman educated to the bone?

Josephine felt that it would not work if this continued. If she kept her head down, she would probably hit the wall because she couldn't see the way ahead.She plucked up the courage to raise her head, but she happened to meet the gaze cast by Sharon beside her. The two briefly looked at each other for less than a second. Josephine quickly lost ground and lowered her head again.This time she bit her lower lip irresistibly, and there was still the image of those blue jewel-like eyes in front of her eyes. Those eyes were full of inquiry and curiosity, but full of kindness, as if there was a little bit of joy, and she couldn't help It relieved Josephine's nervousness a bit.

Josephine grew up in an emotionally tense environment. His father was sensitive and neurotic, and whenever his mother or she said something wrong, his father would get angry.And you will never know what kind of words your father will be irritated by. Maybe it's just a fairly everyday conversation that can detonate this indefinite bomb/bomb.Growing up in such an environment, her heart is very sensitive, and she can't let go of her personality. She is always cautious, introverted and shy.The only consolation is the large collection of books at home. She is friends with books all day long. She always speaks in a very low voice and dare not communicate with others. This phenomenon was especially serious in her childhood.After her father passed away, things gradually improved.But even so, she seldom interacts with her classmates after school, and always likes to be alone.Everyone's impression of her is that this beautiful girl is always reading a book by herself, lonely and friendless.In fact, she has a gentle and kind personality. If she can be more generous, she will definitely be very popular.Thanks to this, she was not bullied at school, but she didn't have many friends, most of them were just acquaintances with her, and she didn't have any close friends.

Her birthday is in May, and she is not yet 13 years old. She is currently in the first grade of junior high school. After the summer vacation, she will transfer to Eton College and enter the second grade of junior high school.Not long ago, she had just passed the academic ability test that Eton College transfer students must take, and the high score she got made the transfer look unquestionable.She has expectations for Eton College in her heart. Although it is difficult for her to adapt to the new environment, the academic and teaching staff of Eton College make her admire, especially in literature. The empire was established 12 years ago. Most of the great writers in the Old English writing circle came from this school, which was very attractive to Josephine who wanted to become a writer.

Her mother's remarriage and naturalization into the Spencer family was a major event in her life.In this new and unfamiliar environment, she seemed to be beaten back to her childhood, looking at a loss and extremely nervous.She couldn't let her go as her stepfather Nuente and new sister Sharon showed her around their new home.She and her stepfather didn't meet many times, counting today as the fifth time, and they didn't talk much.But she had a good impression of her stepfather, probably because of the sharp contrast with her father, who seemed too kind.

What she looks forward to most when moving into a new home is the study room.According to her mother, the Spencers had the largest private library in the empire, which made her feel vertiginously happy.But the nervousness made her forget this for a while. She lowered her head and turned at the corner on the east side of the first floor, but she didn't pay attention to the footsteps of the people in front of her. She bumped into the snow walking in front of her. Len's back.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" She apologized in a panic.

Sharon, who was hit, stood firmly and remained motionless after being hit. She turned around to look at Josephine, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't always keep your head down. The family is big, and you will get lost."

Her voice was really nice, although it was teasing, it was gentle, warm and melodious.Josephine raised her head involuntarily, and saw that Sharon was smiling at her. Does she love to smile so much?This does not seem to fit the rumored image of the elite son of the aristocrat who is extremely strict with himself and always meticulous.But she's so pretty when she smiles, if only she could keep smiling like that.Josephine couldn't help thinking.

"I heard from my father just now that you like reading books the most? Look, this is our study." Sharon turned sideways and stretched her arms in a gesture of invitation. Josephine's eyes were immediately caught by the massive crowd behind the door. The world of books attracts.Her amber eyes lit up for a moment, she involuntarily let out an exclamation, her head that had been lowered all of a sudden raised her head high, and she walked briskly into the study room. Surrounded by three-story high bookshelves, she couldn't help but He raised his head and turned in circles, not knowing where to look.

"Oh my God! This...this is heaven!" The girl cried out in happiness, which made Nurent and Lilian who were standing beside her smile.

And the girl probably didn't know it all the time, when she was standing in the study that day, Xue Lun at the door of the study was watching her in a daze, and there was a strange throbbing in her heart.

The author has something to say: enter the purple iris chapter, after the lecture, the first volume ends.Many people are probably surprised that a dead person can occupy the supporting role in this article, keeping pace with Princess Tianyang. Why is this?Because ah, Josephine is the origin of this story.Without her, there would be no story.Although she is probably the character with the fewest appearances and basically only lives in memories, she must be fresh and important.Although some people have passed away, they are not dead, she is just gone at this point in time.
