Fifteen years ago, five-year-old Felix had just moved into Vosloda Manor. At that time, she would still call the man her father.
Although he did not wear a gorgeous little dress as he imagined, he did not become the little princess of his dreams, but his hair was cut short and he received the most rigorous aristocratic education. However, Felix quickly adapted to his new life.
She still couldn't understand the sneer in the servant's eyes and the impatience in the teacher's tone. Everything in the manor was so novel and every day was so happy.
She runs around the manor like a wild child every day, climbs trees and goes to the lake, and plays dirty every day. She also likes to peek at Dimi's classes, equestrian, swordsmanship, piano, painting... In addition to
During meals, Felix never saw Dimi resting. Once she climbed up a tree to play sparrows and asked Dimi who was passing by to come up and play. Felix always felt that when Dimi waved his hand to refuse, there was a twinkle in his eye.
A hint of envy.
But Dimi also has something that makes Felix envious, because his father will only check Dimi's homework when he comes back. Felix hid outside the study window and watched his father pick out dozens of Dimi's nearly perfect grades.
Where there was room for improvement, there was no praise, only endless criticism. At that time, she felt both pitiful and envious of this strange brother... because her father at least cared about Dimi.
You are nothing until someone cares about you, otherwise you are nothing.
In order to attract his father's attention, Felix was particularly naughty during those days, drawing funny faces on statues, pulling out the most precious flowers in the garden, and climbing to the roof to make the servants impatient. But no matter what she did,
Her father didn't even look at her.

He didn't even scold her.
Lack of indifference can arouse a child's anger even more. The stubborn Felix didn't believe that her father really didn't care about her at all, so she saw the opportunity and secretly entered her father's study to see what fun was there.
Drawing maps and playing with models. Although Felix did not understand the secrets hidden in a duke's study, this did not prevent her from having a great time. When she accidentally knocked down a rune armor stand in the study,
At that time, when I didn't know what to do, there was an exclamation from the door: "Why are you here?"
It wasn't his father, it was Dimi. He heard noises from the study and came in to take a look. He found that his younger brother had made a mess in the study. His first reaction was to pull his brother away quickly.
Originally, Felix knew that she was in trouble and was a little afraid of being scolded, but when Dimi insisted on pulling her away, she got angry and refused to leave. Dimi was three years older than her and often practiced swordsmanship.
The eldest child who is 5 years old is naturally more powerful than the five-year-old child, but Felix became stubborn and hugged the white jade sculpture next to him with his hands and feet. Dimi tried his best to pull her away.
During the play, Felix turned the white jade sculpture, and a secret door appeared in the study with a click. The two children were stunned. Felix immediately wanted to push the secret door open, but Dimi held her back and said, "This is
Father’s study, we can’t go in, right?”
It's just that Dimira was holding on to the corner of Felix's clothes, and it was useless at all. The hidden room in his father's study was quite attractive to an eight-year-old boy.
"Then don't go, I'll go in by myself!"
"No!" Di Mi immediately stopped her and stepped forward: "Let me go in first!"
"Humph, little trumpet!" Felix naturally didn't know that the secret room might be dangerous. She just felt that Di Mi said one thing and did another, saying not to go in, but she rushed in instead.
When two children full of expectations entered the secret room, they were soon disappointed. There were neither magical weapons nor barriers to seal monsters, nor was there a little girl hidden inside. There were only... paintings.
The ever-bright "Day Star" illuminates this simple and luxurious room. The bold child steps on the soft carpet and stares at a portrait displayed on the wall. There are men and women, old people and heroic young people.
, but the people in the paintings all have golden hair without exception.
The largest portrait among them was hung in the center of the wall. The frame had gold and silver carvings, and the paper was as bright as new. Even children could see the artist's ingenuity. But what shocked Dimi and Felix the most
, there is nothing more beautiful than the beauty of the person in the painting.
"What a nice view......"
"This sister is so pretty..."
Heroic and charming, tender and passionate, feminine and cold, the people in the painting seem to embody all the beautiful qualities in the world, and can make children look forward to them even after countless years.
They can't help but get closer to the past, wanting to reach out and touch this eternal beauty frozen in the gap of time.
"It looks good."
Hearing the majestic and solemn voice coming from behind, the two children were instantly excited. They turned around numbly and saw the cold and serious Lord Casting Star walking into the secret room. Even Felix, who wanted to attract his father's attention, this time
Tokiya was so scared that her legs were shaking. Even though her father didn't say anything, she was so panicked that she was about to cry. Although Dimi was also scared, she still took the initiative to stand in front and tried her best to argue: "Father, we are not-"
"When I first came in, I swore that I would marry the woman in the painting."
Lord Zhuxing said: "After I told your grandfather, he hung me up and beat me half to death. Because the people in the portrait are our ancestors in Vosloda."
Di Mi blinked his eyes. He seemed to have seen a smile on his father's lips just now, but upon closer inspection he was still very serious... Even if he told the scandals of his youth in front of the children, it seemed that Lord Casting Star would not
Why care.
When the children heard what their father said clearly, they immediately turned to stare at the painting, and their hearts were shaken. Felix stammered: "First, the ancestor was a woman!?"
"No, it's a male."
Lord Zhu Xing said: "He has no name, so he is called Vosloda. This is the name taken from "The Poems of the Stars". "Vos" means domination, "Loda" means conquest, and Vosloda means
Dominate destiny and conquer everything."
Di Mi immediately said: "I will definitely remember the glory of my ancestors!"
After realizing it, Felix also quickly said: "Me too!"
Zhuxing Gong didn't care about the two children's please, he waved his hand and said: "Go out."
Finding that his father did not hold him accountable for his troubles, Felix was no longer afraid. He raised his head and asked expectantly: "Will I be as handsome as my ancestors when I grow up?"
Di Mi couldn't help but said: "Father, can you tell me the story of your ancestors?"
Lord Zhu Xing was silent for a moment, staring at the portrait and wondering what he was thinking. Just when the children thought that their father would not respond to their questions, the unsmiling Lord Zhu Xing sighed softly: "Being so good-looking may not be a good thing.
"
"Thousands of years ago, civil strife broke out in the Kingdom of Stars, and nobles fought against each other. Our ancestors, who started from a young age, followed Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess to defeat the rebels, destroyed the "Blue Stars Dynasty", and established the "Golden Stars Dynasty"... You guys
When you raise your head at night, you will see the brightest golden stars due north, which are the flags of the starry royal family."
"What does it mean to start from humble beginnings?" Felix didn't understand. "Does it mean that the ancestors were not nobles?"
"It means that the family environment of our ancestors was not good." The more educated Di Mi explained: "The ancestors were probably not nobles at the beginning, but ordinary civilians."
"Not even a commoner, our ancestor..." Star Caster paused, "He is someone who uses his beauty to bring joy to others."
"Wow!" Felix said in surprise: "Is your ancestor such a good person? It's just... just... yes, is he a charity?"
Dimi was not as childlike as Felix. He vaguely guessed his father's allusion and couldn't help but look up at his feminine and beautiful ancestor, feeling inexplicable pity in his heart.
"Why did the Noble War happen?" Dimi asked, "Is it because the royal family at that time was bad?"
"It's because the system is not good." Zhu Xinggong said: "The "Noblesse" did not exist at that time. There was only a rough aristocratic system, but it was simply unable to adapt to the growing number of magicians and the interests of the people. The upper class was in a state of intoxication.
, the lower classes are fighting against each other.”
"The war of nobles is not just a violent confrontation. All parties have different political opinions. Even the church is divided because of this, helping different lords to implement different constellations. In the end, the "Queen of the Golden Rose" has the most support from her subjects, and has
The most powerful army is therefore built
She established the Golden Star Dynasty, which continues to this day. And the "Aristocratic ***" she promoted has also become the political foundation of Stars..."
Just when Lord Zhuxing and Dimi wanted to take the conversation to a deeper level, Felix, who didn't understand, stopped and asked loudly: "Why is it bad to be as beautiful as our ancestors?"
Lord Zhuxing glanced at her and thought about closing the door to the secret room. Felix was startled and thought he was about to be spanked. Her mother often spanked her when she was naughty. Dimi also thought her father was angry and stood there.
Felix was in front, ready to unbutton his belt, thinking that if he wanted to be punished, he would be beaten together.
"You should act like you haven't heard what I'm going to say next, let alone say it out loud." Duke Zhuxing said sternly, "Did you hear that?" "Yes!" The children agreed quickly.
Zhu Xinggong walked to the front of the portrait, while the children looked behind, and suddenly realized that their father did have some similarities with their ancestors. Not only his blond hair, but also his father's eyebrows and eyebrows were very similar to those of his ancestors. They were as poetic as birds flying across the sky, but
Their father always had an expressionless face, so the children didn't think so...but looking at the portraits of their ancestors, they vaguely felt that their father might have been very good-looking when he was young.
"How many dukes are there in the stars?" he asked suddenly.
"There are five in total including Voslodar!" Dimi immediately replied: "Together they are called the Five Pillars of Stars!"
"The five first-generation dukes of the stars are all legendary magicians with outstanding achievements, legion commanders who are good at fighting, healing saints who have brought the dead back to life, or disaster messengers who can move mountains and seas." Star Caster said: "Except for
Apart from the ancestors, the other dukes are two men and two women, plus the four princesses who ascended the throne and became the queen, there are two men and three women in total..."
At this point Lord Zhuxing stopped. The children were curious as to why he said this, but they didn't dare to ask if their father didn't continue.
After almost a minute, Zhuxing Gong almost squeezed out these words from his mouth: "They all like their ancestors."
