After living here for a long time, Darlene also gradually knew that the food they used every day was delivered by someone specially.Eric lived underground for nine years, leaving only twice.

One time, he found a craftsman to build his palace, and another time, he brought her back.

When I picked her up, it was because Christine had a high fever, but all the theater people, including Mrs. Geary, went to another theater for an exchange performance, leaving only some young ballet dancers.The anxious Eric set foot on the surface world again to buy medicine for his beloved Christine, but picked up Darlene back.

That beautiful scalloped bed, and everything on that island, was for Christine.

After knowing this, Darlene didn't like that big bed anymore, she crawled into Eric's big bed every night, even if the man would throw her into the small bed next to her, she would never care about that big bed again. Nice bed too.

Of course, Eric didn't see the reason for the little girl's tantrum.He didn't even realize that the little girl was throwing a tantrum with him.

With Darlene, his life has been enriched a lot.He taught her to read, taught her music, and found time to spend with Christine.

In the past, except when he was composing, he almost always accompanied Christine in the dark almost morbidly. Once he noticed any slight mood swings in her, he would comfort her with singing at the right time.

Now, in order to take care of Darlene, his interaction with Christine is limited to an hour or two every night, just teaching her singing.

Darlene was a little anxious about Eric's regular departure every day. Of course, the little girl concealed it very well by lowering her eyes, but there was a slight fluctuation in the sound of the piano, which showed her inner restlessness.

Eric has secrets that she's not allowed to partake in.

At the moment of his entry and exit, the iron fence opened or closed behind him, separating the two worlds.

Darlene, on the other hand, always stared at the iron fence silently for a moment when Eric disappeared completely.

The answer to this secret is a girl named Christine.Also five years old.

Darlene had learned this from Giriff, who came to visit occasionally.

Christine is not an unfamiliar name.She has heard it many times.

She instinctively disliked Christine.

------

When Darlene got a little older, Eric began to take her in and out of the iron fence occasionally, allowing her to peek through the little gaps in the splendor of the ground.

Eric is ambivalent.He felt sorry for Darlene's loneliness at such a young age, but he was also afraid that she would leave him because of her longing for the world above.

For some unknown reason, Eric never mentioned Christine to Darlene, let alone take Darlene over when teaching Christine to sing.

Darlene also tacitly helped him keep this secret.

It was as if the girl named Christine didn't exist.

However, after going back and forth again and again, Darlene had already become familiar with the mechanism on the road, and she also quietly followed Eric shortly after he left.Overhear him teaching Christine vocal skills.

Then leave early to practice the violin more seriously.

Even Darlene herself can't understand the subtle rivalry between her and Christine.

They are all Eric's apprentices.

However, Christine, she has sunshine, fresh air, Mrs. Gilly who loves her, good friend Meg, and... a good voice that Eric can't help but praise.

And she, with nothing but Eric.

The author has something to say: I haven't figured out the middle plot yet, but the finale has been decided

Darlene and Eric will be together, but before the finale, I personally feel sad (especially Adalena's, Eric is fine)
