When Lin Tian opened the door, Ai Wei was anxiously standing outside. This independent and unique Blood Clan member hurriedly said, "Lord Lin Tian, please help me check on our Lord, she..."
"What's wrong with Charlotte? Talk while we walk." Lin Tian interrupted her and asked, puzzled.
Ai Wei led the way quickly and spoke quickly, "For some reason, since waking up, our Lord has experienced extreme emotional fluctuations, and she... she is self-harming!"
"Self-harming?" Lin Tian was taken aback. Could Charlotte have been triggered by something, maybe something in her memory that she cannot accept?
With Charlotte's personality, she would never harm herself, only others. She is indeed the dignified Blood Clan Lord, and Lin Tian was very surprised by this news, which explained Ai Wei's shock.
Ai Wei nodded confidently and arrived at the entrance of a room at the top floor of the villa. The door was not closed, and from outside one could see inside the room.
Charlotte was standing by the window, her side facing Lin Tian, and at this moment, the Lady Lord's shoulder was bare, her hand gripped the Soul-devouring Blade, and the blade was slashing her own arm.
The Soul-devouring Blade could even harm Lin Tian's zombie body, so it easily cut through her arm. Blood flowed from the wound, passed over the clan emblem on her arm, and dripped down from her fingertips onto the floor.
"Lord..." Ai Wei called out, but Charlotte didn't respond.
Lin Tian motioned for her not to speak, then walked in, came before Charlotte, and upon seeing the Lady Lord from the front, his heart was stirred.
Charlotte's face bore tears that hadn't fully dried, yet her eyes showed a complex expression of sorrow, anger, and unmasked burning hatred. What on earth did the Lady Lord recall to manifest such complex emotions? Moreover, this mighty and proud Lady Lord actually cried just now, which is rarer than snow in June.
"You... remember everything?" Lin Tian tentatively asked.
Charlotte heard Lin Tian's voice, slowly focusing her gaze on Lin Tian's face, and when she spoke, Lin Tian was extraordinarily surprised: "Lin Tian, thank you for everything you've done for Rossi."
Lin Tian was slightly surprised; Charlotte's words contained deeper meaning, indicating she had regained her memory. At the very least, she remembered Rossi's identity? Otherwise, she wouldn't thank Lin Tian on Rossi's behalf.
"I said, Rossi is my subordinate and friend, and anything promised to a friend I will naturally fulfill." Lin Tian said matter-of-factly.
"Sister..." A voice suddenly called from outside, and Rossi rushed into the room. Seeing Lin Tian inside, he slightly calmed his excited emotions: "Brother Tian, I'm very sorry, I've lost composure."
"It's okay; if it were me, I might be more excited than you. You better check on your sister." Lin Tian reassured him.
Rossi nodded emphatically, looked up at Charlotte, the siblings exchanged glances, and Charlotte's gaze was no longer cold and unfeeling, but instead filled with joy and self-reproach.
"Sister..." Rossi called out again in excitement, fearing it was all simply a dream.
"Brother..." Charlotte finally called out the words Rossi most longed to hear.
Watching the two finally recognize each other, Lin Tian wore a genuine smile. He looked at Ai Wei, signaling her to leave, giving the siblings space to talk privately, as their sudden reunion surely meant they had much to say.
After closing the door behind them, Lin Tian and Ai Wei went downstairs to the living room, where Zhang Lingyu was already seated. When seeing Lin Tian come down, she quickly stood.
"Lin Tian, how is Charlotte?" Zhang Lingyu asked.
"Yes, the Lord suddenly self-harmed. Is there some unresolved issue in her mind?" Ai Wei asked worriedly.
"If I'm not wrong, it should be because she remembered some unpleasant matters, perhaps related to her family. Ai Wei, has Charlotte ever mentioned anything about her true blood family, not the Sinmore Clan?" Lin Tian guessed.
From Rossi, Lin Tian knew little, as Rossi never brought it up, and Lin Tian never asked. Now it seemed something complex was happening, enough to make even the dominant Charlotte shed tears.
Ai Wei shook her head, "The Lord only mentioned that she's the last of her family, with no remaining clan members. Whether it's about her family, I'm not sure."
While they were conversing, footsteps were heard coming from upstairs. Charlotte and Rossi descended.
They came before Lin Tian, and Rossi first kneeled down, giving Lin Tian a formal ritual, "Brother Tian, I know you dislike formalities, but let me perform this kneeling ritual, using Huaxia etiquette to express my gratitude to Brother Tian."
Charlotte did not kneel, but did not stop Rossi from doing so, clearly acquiescing to her brother's behavior.
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment but didn't stop Rossi. Finding his sister was his greatest wish, and Lin Tian could understand that sentiment.
Afterward, Lin Tian looked at Charlotte and said, "I've always wondered, although Rossi is just a Low-level Blood Clan in your eyes, you never killed him. Was there some vague perception? Blood relations can be extraordinarily magical."
Charlotte did not deny it and nodded, "From the first glance at the clan emblem on Rossi's arm, I had a vague perception, but my heart neither wanted to admit it nor kill him."
"It seems the clan emblem saved Rossi's life. Can you tell us about your family? I mean your blood family, not the Sinmore Clan." Lin Tian emphasized, some families may turn into vampires due to certain reasons, Charlotte's family might be such a family.
"I don't know my family's origins; other clan members didn't know either. Just that our lifespan is longer than average, but my family wasn't vampires." Charlotte answered ambiguously, and her expression didn't appear deceitful.
Lin Tian was very surprised, feeling strange, "Your family isn't Blood Clan, which indeed contradicts my information." He then looked at Rossi.
Rossi nodded in acknowledgment, "My sister's right. Our original family wasn't Blood Clan, and the clan members and elders never mentioned our origins. I suspect even they don't know."
"So afterwards, how did you and Charlotte become Blood Clan?" Lin Tian queried, feeling there's an unpleasant event behind it all.
"Fire..."
"A great fire..."
Charlotte and Rossi nearly spoke in one voice, uttering identical words. When mentioning these words, the sibling's eyes both showed sadness and hate.
Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu exchanged glances, both seeing conjecture in the other's eyes that it might be a violent and grim past incident.
