This is the story that happened before the beginning of the novel. The timeline is 9 years ago, that is, 280 years in the imperial calendar of the British Empire. The story begins when Eliza is 10 years old.

***************

The Royal calendar of the British Empire is 280 years.

Pandragon.

I shouted to my father and trotted towards my father with the story book in my hand.

"Father! You're back! "

Seeing my father I hadn't seen for a long time made me excited, so that when I came to my father's back, I couldn't help hugging my father.

However, I was still a little short and only hugged my father's thigh.

"Well, Eliza, I'll come back."

My father's gentle voice came from my head. At the same time, I felt a warm big hand gently pressing on my head and stroking it carefully.

"Father! Can you read me a bedtime story tonight? "

I released my father, then held the story book high in my hand and looked at my father with expectant eyes.

"Miss..."

However, standing next to my father, the housekeeper who had served our family for a long time suddenly said:

"The master has just returned from the expedition. He is very tired now. Let the master have a rest first. If you don't mind, let me read the bedtime story to the young lady."

As soon as the housekeeper's voice fell, I said anxiously:

"I don't, I don't! I want my father to read it to me! "

The housekeeper smiled bitterly. When he was about to say something, his father suddenly smiled and raised a hand to signal the housekeeper not to say.

"Master, your body..."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not too tired to tell my daughter a bedtime story."

After that, my father bent down and took my other hand that didn't hold the story book.

"Eliza, let's go. Father will tell you a bedtime story."

"Uh huh!"

I nodded hard, then took my father's hand and jumped back to my room.

After returning to the room, I immediately jumped into bed and pulled the quilt to my shoulder.

And my father pulled a chair and sat at the head of my bed.

"So, Eliza, what story do you want to hear tonight?"

"I want to hear this!"

As I spoke, I handed the story book I had been holding in my hand since just now to my father.

Father took the story book, read the cover of the story book, and then showed a bitter smile.

"Eliza, haven't I told you this one many times? Father, I'm going to recite the content of this story book. "

I pouted, then coquetted in a dissatisfied tone:

"I just like this story!"

"Well, well, if you like to listen."

After shaking his head helplessly, his father opened the story book, cleared his throat, and then began to read the story.

"Once upon a time, there was a country..."

……

"... finally, the princess married the brave and lived a happy and beautiful life."

After reading the last sentence of the story book, my father gently closed the story book.

How long did my father study? I don't have any impression. How many minutes? Ten minutes? Or dozens of minutes?

I don't know how long it took.

I only remember that from the first sentence my father read, I was immersed in this beautiful story and completely forgot the time.

After listening to my father read the story, I couldn't help muttering with longing on my face:

"What a great story..."

"Ha ha ha, Eliza, you really like this story. I've read this story at least dozens of times. Aren't you tired of hearing it? "

"Because the story is really great!" I don't agree.

"Oh? Tell me, what do you think is great about this story? "

"Um... This..."

I scratched my cheek a little embarrassed.

At the same time, I felt my cheeks a little hot.

My face now may have begun to blush slightly.

Maybe my father noticed that I was embarrassed to say it, so he hit me:

"Eliza, come on, it's okay. Father won't make fun of you. "

"Um..."

After being encouraged by my father, I felt a little encouraged, so I decided to tell the reasons why I like the story in detail.

"I... I think the love between the brave and the princess in this story is great, so I especially like this story..."

"Love?"

"Yes."

I nodded gently and then continued:

"In this story, the princess turned a corner and met the brave man. They met under such a coincidence. If the princess turns the corner earlier or later, she will not be able to meet the brave. "

"I think this kind of love is great... Two people suddenly met each other as if they were led by fate."

Then I pulled up the quilt and pulled it to my nose, blocking half of my blushing cheeks.

"I think this kind of love is so romantic... I want this kind of love in the future... Led by fate, meet a 'brave' at a certain place on a certain day, then a series of things happen, and finally fall in love."

After hearing what I said, my father was stunned, and then burst into a series of laughter.

"Ha ha! Eliza hopes that she can meet and fall in love with a "brave" at a very coincidental moment like the "Princess" in this story book? "

"Father! Didn't you say you wouldn't laugh? "

My father's laughter made me more embarrassed, so angry, I simply pulled the quilt and covered the whole person in the quilt.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, my father is not laughing at you. My father just feels that you are naive and lovely."

Then the father sighed and said:

"Is it like meeting and falling in love led by fate... This kind of story like love is difficult to happen in the real world..."

"But -"

My father suddenly turned his words and said with a smile:

"Having a dream is always a good thing, so Eliza, don't give up your dream easily. Although the probability of occurrence may not be very high, your father will support your dream at any time."

"Really?"

I asked my father in a weak voice, sticking my head out of the quilt.

"Well! Really! " Father nodded heavily.

Then the father took out his pocket watch, looked at the current time, and said:

"Well, it's not early. It's time to go to bed. Eliza, go to bed quickly."

"Uh huh."

My father stood up, touched my head with a smile, put out the fire of the oil lamp, and then turned and left my room.

All right, go to bed.

As I said this to myself in my heart, I straightened the quilt covered on my body.

Just as I closed my eyes, I suddenly saw bright beams coming in from the window.

"Oh, moonlight!"

After I gave a cry of joy, I kicked off the quilt and walked towards the window.

When I came to the front and back of the window and looked out through the transparent glass, I saw a bright moon hanging above the sky.

In addition to this bright moon, there are countless bright stars in the sky.

Looking at the beautiful night sky, I can't help but look crazy.

Looking at the starry sky, I suddenly remembered my dream I told my father just now.

"I wonder if I can have love like 'princess' in the future..."

I muttered.

What would that person look like?

Will it grow very tall?

I don't know whether you are handsome or not.

What about your character?

Will he be very playful?

……

While looking at the night sky, while so fantasy.

Unconsciously, I showed a silly but very sweet smile.
