Pa.

Chloe got hit by a snowflake and fell backward, burying himself in the snow.

Kasha stood there in a daze, seeing him not move for a long while, she prodded him lightly.

Chloe remained motionless, lying on the ground feigning death.

Kasha's mouth twisted, and tears started to fall like little pearls as she ran away:

"Brother Harut, I killed the bad thing!"

Originally reading, Harut was startled by the sound.

He hurriedly rushed to the snowfield.

Seeing Chloe lying in the snow, he quickly carried him back to the room.

Chloe felt his whole body dazed and aching all over.

Of course.

It wasn't because Kasha knocked him down.

Even if Kasha's small frame turned ten times bigger, it wouldn't be possible.

Chloe fell because he felt his body temporarily lost control.

The power called the Holy Bone reactivated at that moment.

The strong power spread all over his body, making him unable to exert his strength.

"Brother, what's wrong with him? Could he possibly be dead?"

"Don't say such ominous things."

With eyes closed, Chloe felt like the siblings were chirping like little ducks by his ear.

"Is he really not dead? Is he still breathing? Waaah~ his hands are so cold!"

"..."

"You can't die, quickly open your eyes."

"..."

Chloe felt soft little hands pressing continuously on his face.

Harut's voice sounded, saying:

"Kasha, stop patting him, the doctor will be here soon, go ask the maid for some blankets and hot water, I'll go add more firewood to the fireplace."

Chloe, helpless, leisurely opened his eyes.

Harut's face came right up close.

"You're awake? Wait for me a bit, I'm going to add some firewood to the fireplace."

Chloe chose to close his eyes again.

Harut's voice became louder again:

"Hey, wake up, Loi, don't sleep!"

"It hurts."

"Where does it hurt, I'll blow on it for you."

"You're pinching my face and it hurts."

"...Your hands and feet are cold now, I'll carry you over to warm by the fire."

"Don't want to move."

"Then I'll carry you over."

"I'm cold."

"That's why, warm by the fire!"

Harut, frustrated and embarrassed, pulled out a wool blanket from who knows where, wrapping him into a ball, and carried him to the fireplace.

Chloe, rolled into a ball, wanted to struggle out.

But due to the soreness and weakness brought by the awakening of the Holy Bone, he couldn't shake it off for a while.

No.

This guy Harut.

Is he packing me up as a takeout?

Just as he was pondering how to handle the current situation, the Marquis and Marchioness entered in a fluster.

"Loi! Child, are you alright?"

The Marchioness lifted him and said:

"Oh my, Loi, are you okay?"

Marquis Meifei turned and picked Chloe up, saying:

"Madam, I'll take the child to bed first, and... Harut, Kasha, I'll address today's matter later, hopefully, you won't lie to me."

The two siblings shrank their necks, showing timid expressions.

...

It was late autumn now, and the deep winter was approaching.

It had been a month since the Holy Bone Talent awakened.

Recalling the experiences of this period, Chloe felt like he hadn't truly woken up.

The Meifei family was indeed very kind.

Even the two children they raised, despite sometimes being a bit naughty, under the circumstances, these two were considered quite kind.

Perhaps due to the past half-year of accumulated fatigue and the grief of losing a child, the Marchioness soon fell ill again.

At that time, Marquis Meifei took a few days off work to personally take care of her.

This Marquis, apart from being strict when correcting his children's mistakes, was a very gentle person.

However.

Chloe's condition wasn't great lately.

To be precise, he was always lying in bed.

The weaker the body, the harder it was to bear the power of the Holy Bone.

So, after the Holy Bone Talent awakened, Chloe's physical condition had been poor.

Because the Holy Bone was slowly correcting his Physique.

That feeling of constantly nourishing and strengthening the bones and muscles was not pleasant.

It was like having achy, weak muscles after catching a cold.

After eating today, he felt the food he had just eaten was quickly digested.

When he lay down to rest on the bed, the Marchioness came in.

"Where's Loi?"

She asked the maid.

The maid bowed and said: "Madam, the young master went to bed to rest."

The Marchioness knocked on the door.

"Come in."

She walked to Chloe's bedside and said:

"Loi, are you feverish again? Is your body okay? You seemed not full, so I brought some more food for you."

The Marchioness carefully held the warmed soup, bringing it to his mouth, she said:

"If you're not full, just let us know, it's normal to eat more at your age."

She blew on the soup and handed the spoon to his mouth.

Chloe looked at the spoon, his gaze lightly flickering, and as the hot soup entered, the Divine power of the Holy Bone seemed to spread.

His body felt warm.

"How is it, does it taste good?"

The Marchioness gently wiped his forehead's cold sweat.

Chloe paused for a moment, then spoke:

"Mm, it's very tasty, Mom."

The spoon slipped out of his hand, dropping onto the bed sheet.

The Marchioness stared blankly at Chloe, saying:

"Child... could you say it once more?"

"Mom."

A few tears appeared at the corners of the Marchioness's eyes.

Beside her, Marquis Meifei patted his wife's shoulder but said nothing.

"Dad, I want some juice."

"Ah, alright, I'll have someone make it..."

Seeing the Marquis's stunned expression, he thought to himself;

[Just because they are kind people, they deserve a bit of happiness]

Chloe muttered to himself and said no more.

Since arriving in this world, he hadn't called anyone mom or dad.

And likely won't in the future.

As for now...

This is part of the echoes of history, not reality.

It should be no big deal.

...

Unknowingly, he spent another winter at the Marquis Family.

The new buds of early spring quietly bloomed.

The Marquis and Marchioness took their four children for an outing by the lakeside at the start of spring.

"You all are here." The Marchioness greeted them with a smile, "Come over quickly, don't let the snow settle on you."

Chloe watched a group of people sitting on the picnic blanket having their meal, and his lips curved into a small smile.

Marquis Meifei tied the string of the balloon to Chloe's wrist.

Next to him, Kasha pouted her lips high.

Chloe glanced at her and said:

"If you want the balloon, just say so."

Kasha turned her head and said:

"Hmph, don't be silly, I don't fancy such things."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Chloe untied the string and fastened the balloon to Kasha's wrist.

Kasha, pretending to be upset, put her hands on her hips and said:

"So childish, I'm already eight years old!"

"Ah, right, right, right."

Look at you.

Your grin practically reached your ears, and even the cheek can't hold it back.

The Marquis, who was smiling from the side, said:

"Chloe, do you want me to blow you another balloon?"

"No need, Dad, you should get one for Brother Harut."

Harut, who was reading a book, looked up and said:

"I don't need it, give it to Kasha."

The Marchioness holding a cupcake in her hands said:

"Chloe, do you want to come over and have some cheesecake?"

"Yes."

Indeed.

He just saw the expectant look on the Marchioness's face and couldn't refuse, so he eagerly went over to eat.

Harut glanced at Chloe who, having finished the cake, licked his lips and handed another one to him saying:

"Here, blueberry flavored."

Chloe paused for a moment.

He indeed really likes blueberries, but he still said:

"Brother Harut, don't you like blueberries too?"

Harut snorted and said:

"You eat it, I'm full."

The Marchioness, holding the blueberry cake, placed it in Harut's hand and took away the orange cake he didn't quite like, saying:

"Mom likes every flavor."

Harut said a bit awkwardly:

"Mom, I'm fine."

The Marchioness shook her head and said:

"You haven't grown up yet, so take this time to enjoy unrestrained affection."

Chloe looked up at the sky.

The sky in early spring was very blue.

He could feel that after over a year, his body had finally re-adapted to the Holy Bone's power, and officially entered a time to quickly advance.

He didn't know how many more days of such blissful times would last.

The Marquis, holding his youngest daughter said:

"At tomorrow's palace ball, you must be good, don't argue with the little princess again."

Kasha pouted and said:

"What do you mean I argued with her, clearly that rascal was being mean."

"If you really don't like her, just don't provoke her."

Chloe looked up, seeing countless petals scattered by the wind, swirling down into his palm.

The Marchioness looked up, gazing at the early spring scene, and whispered:

"The flowers are so beautiful."

...

That evening.

The villa by the lake.

Chloe, woken by thirst in the middle of the night, decided to find something to drink.

Once he went downstairs.

He saw the Marchioness pacing in the hall.

"Ah, my dear child, where are you going so late?" The slightly drunk Marchioness, upon seeing him, hugged him and said, "Missed mom already?"

Chloe: ...

He was momentarily at a loss for words.

He smelled a strong scent of alcohol.

Clearly, the Marchioness had drunk quite a bit.

Seeing Chloe remain silent, she tilted her head and said:

"Child?"

"...I'm not Rooney."

The Marchioness paused for a moment, then softly hugged him saying:

"I know, sorry, Chloe, but you are also my darling."

The Marchioness gently rubbed Chloe's cheek.

Just at that moment, Kasha, drawn by the noise, came downstairs.

The Marchioness conveniently pulled her daughter into her embrace too.

At some point, Harut and the Marquis had also come downstairs.

"Mom, you're drinking a lot late at night,"

"Hehe, mom is in a good mood today, couldn't help but have a few more drinks." The Marchioness pinched Harut's cheek and said, "Of course, you too are mom's favorite."

The Marquis said helplessly:

"Dear, you've drunk too much, we're going out tomorrow, your body can't handle it."

The Marchioness rubbed her partner's cheek and said:

"Mm, let's go back."

She turned her head to look at the children and said:

"You should also sleep early."

"Yes."

Another warm day passed.

Kasha and the parents went to the palace.

That night.

Marquis Mansion received a message.

At the palace banquet, a faction launched an attack on the royal family.

The Marquis' second daughter, Kasha, was critically wounded.

The Marquis and Marchioness were assassinated while protecting the royal family.
