Phi-Fic Chapter 255 Princess of the Lan Family
Chapter 255 Princess of the Lan Family
"Your name is Evelyn."
"Evelyn Lancaster."
"Whatever your past is, how you got here."
"From now on, you are the most noble little princess of my Lan family."
"She is the most supreme pure-blooded princess of my blue-blooded nobility!"
Edward gently lifted the baby and gave her a name under the golden crystal chandelier, giving her a new identity.
And she smiled so brightly.
Evelyn's arrival represented hope and gave Edward the courage to live.
Perhaps, if Evelyn had not been born, if Edward's depressed state of mind had continued, he would have ended up like Brown in a few years.
At least now, Edward is no longer alone. Evelyn is the foundation for him to support the huge Lan family.
For the sake of this child who represents hope and beauty, he has the motivation to live.
Evelyn originally thought that Lilith was Edward's biological granddaughter, and that she was an orphan casually adopted by the Lan family in order to help Garland reach the top.
That's why Lilith can live so freely and easily, with nothing to restrain her.
It wasn't until this memory appeared that she realized it was not the case.
Although Lilith has been loved by everyone since she was a child, she is also an orphan adopted by Edward and brought back to the Lan family.
Lilith was born to Edward's first love, the only woman he ever loved, and her husband.
The woman was thirteen years younger than him, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts, growing up playing and fighting together.
As the future heirs of two families, they are destined to have no freedom in their lives, and their marriage will naturally be decided by the elders of both parties.
The woman's family did not approve of their relationship because the age gap between them was too large, and Edward had a bad temper when he was young. His only advantage was that he was good-looking.
In the end, the two of them could not withstand the obstruction of the two major families and were forcibly separated. Edward was forced to marry a woman he did not love, and treated her with respect and gave birth to Ron, who inherited the Lan family.
The woman's family searched for many years but could not find a suitable family to marry her off.
Finally, the woman was in her thirties, and her parents were worried that there was no hope, so they reluctantly agreed to the proposal of the blue-blooded noble who came to their house, and this led to the marriage.
It was not until they saw Edward gradually coming to the fore after inheriting the Lan family that the woman's family began to regret that they should not have obstructed the two.
What was the use of this? Edward had already married a good wife and gave birth to Ron, his heir.
The woman had been married for a long time, and no one knew whether it was the man's problem or the woman had done something wrong, but even after her grandson Garland was born, she still hadn't given birth to a son for the man.
They were once a family of blue blood, but in the war to unify the Carter Continent, countless blue blood families with a long history were slaughtered and completely wiped out overnight.
It was too late for Edward to receive the news that the family the woman married into was going to be exterminated. When he arrived at the scene, he only saw the dying woman lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Please, save my daughter... please?"
The woman opened her mouth weakly, and Edward followed her gaze and found a baby hidden in the closet, separated by layers of bedding.
This was her child, the child of the only woman he had ever loved.
"You can sleep peacefully. I will raise her to adulthood and make her as beautiful and strong as you."
"I also promise that I will never let her fate be bound by her family. She will live a free and wonderful life, the life we all longed for."
Edward held the baby close to the woman. The woman listened to his whispers with a faint smile on her lips, like a fairy descending into the mortal world, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
She seemed to see herself as Edward had described, free, unrestrained and uninhibited.
Finally, she fell asleep completely in the beauty woven by Edward.
After Edward buried the woman, he took the baby back to the Lan family. His wife was also bound by her family and the secular world, so she and Edward treated each other with respect. It was not until they had a child that they became a little closer.
After listening to Edward's account of the whole past, she and Ron did not object at all, but accepted it wholeheartedly and treated the baby as their own relative.
After discussion, several people still thought that this child was more suitable to survive in the world as Ron's daughter, so she became Ron's daughter.
Edward named her Lilith, which means freedom, happiness, and unrestrainedness.
She was born with fair skin and beautiful looks, with a perfect face that could be described as a work of exquisite craftsmanship, and was very similar to the only woman Edward had ever loved.
She grew up being pampered as a true princess, which is also the fundamental reason why Lilith can bravely pursue love.
She is Lilith, the brightest and bravest Lilith.
She is not an ungrateful rose. She is the most passionate red rose who dares to resist class.
And all this is a story for later.
Edward also really loved Evelyn. He placed all his guilt for losing his loved ones and his love that he could not express on Evelyn.
Evelyn only knew that Edward was extremely strict with her when she was a child. All he did was train her. It seemed that Edward was trying his best to turn her into an all-round agent and cut off all her external emotions.
In fact, all the skills she learned were learned by Edward, who worked late into the night to record his previous practical experience word by word, and personally selected and trained suitable people to teach Evelyn.
He placed all his hopes on Evelyn. At that time, Edward was indeed training Evelyn as his heir.
Although he hoped that Evelin could live a relaxed life under pampering, he did not want her to inherit the Lan family's intrigues all day long and even sleep uneasy.
But there is no one in the Lan family, and Garland has no idea when he will wake up, and he has only a few years left to live.
If Evelyn didn't have any skills, what would she do if he died?
Those major families outside who are eyeing the Lan family covetously are wolves that will eat people without leaving any bones.
So instead of watching the innocent Evelyn being torn into pieces and eaten, it would be better for him to train Evelyn personally and make her a king who is immune to all poisons.
He was also afraid that if he gave Evelyn enough freedom and unrestrainedness, Evelyn would become the next Lilith.
Vincent still lives in this world with his love for Lilith. If the two of them meet again, Edward is worried that Evelyn will follow in Lilith's footsteps.
After experiencing the pain of losing loved ones too many times, no matter how strong and determined Edward's heart was, he had reached his limit.
