More than surprise and anticipation, he felt caution and wariness at that moment.
Before he knew it, both had become Aaron's habits.
He stared at the little girl in front of him, his mind racing.
Miss Brianna Lorraine is dead; the girl before us cannot be—
But why are they so similar?
Decades of curses and constant rumors washed over Aaron's mind like a waterfall.
Despite his attempts to explain the situation, he found himself completely clueless.
Just then, the girl frowned and looked at Aaron: "Why are you staring at me without saying anything?"
Upon hearing this, Aaron snapped out of his daze.
Aaron took a deep breath, trying his best to sense any potential threats around him, and stepped out of the registration counter. He bowed to the girl in front of him and said, "I'm very sorry, miss. I'm also very curious as to why you look exactly like the person in the photo."
The girl's expression remained focused, and her gaze never wavered. She seemed to be scrutinizing Aaron's expression, trying to detect any hint of a lie.
After a moment, she asked, "Who are you?"
Unless they practiced for a long time on purpose, the girl in front of them really didn't recognize Aaron.
Miss Brianna, as I remember her, held onto a stubborn pride until her death.
If it really were her, she would never lower herself to act in this scene with Aaron.
Miss Brianna is long dead—Aaron emphasized to himself again.
Therefore, the girl in front of Aaron was indeed a stranger.
Aaron, dressed in an elegant suit, curtsied to the young woman with his tall and imposing figure: "I am the librarian of this library."
Upon hearing this, the girl raised her head slightly, then lifted her skirt and nodded with her eyes closed toward Aaron.
That was a ladylike gesture, but it was very awkward, and she was clearly not very skilled at it.
It's as if I had only seen the general outline before, but lacked practice.
"I apologize for disturbing you, sir. May I ask your name?"
"I am Aaron Mosley VIIVII,"
Aaron smiled, placed his hand on his chest, bowed, and as he stood up, he said, "Or, you can call me Seventy-Seven."
Aaron didn't know why he had said that, but it seemed to be an instinctive act.
Perhaps this indicates that he is naturally carefree and accustomed to entertaining himself.
However, the girl tilted her head slightly: "Seventy-seven? Why?"
Faced with this reaction, Aaron seemed somewhat embarrassed: "You don't like it?"
"I don't like it, it's too impolite, and—" The girl's expression turned serious, "Mr. Mosley, I guess you must have inherited a legacy from your ancestors, and along with their names. However, no matter what glory your predecessors achieved, you are you, not a label!"
Hearing the girl's earnest words, how could Aaron not sense that they came from the bottom of her heart?
at the same time----
This is definitely not Miss Brianna; their personalities are completely different.
Aaron had to admit that for a moment, he hoped that something beyond his common sense would happen.
But when his expectations were completely dashed, Aaron felt a sense of relief.
His usual composure was completely restored, and a professional yet polite smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your advice, miss. May I ask your name?"
At this point, Aaron couldn't help but recall that afternoon—or morning—decades ago.
Look, my memory is already a bit blurry.
But thanks to this portrait, Aaron did not forget what Miss Brianna looked like at that time.
At that time, Miss Brianna gave Aaron a false name, Anne Pierre.
Little did anyone know, Aaron had known her real name from the very beginning.
Many years later, Aaron learned that Miss Brianna felt guilty about it.
Although Aaron tried to get the young lady to let it go, it seems he failed.
Then one day, Aaron gave this name, born from a lie, to a baby whose laughter alone could heal hearts.
And she, in the end, could not help but discover the profound lie hidden in that name.
A pang of sadness welled up in Aaron's heart, and at the same time, he was also very curious about the name of the girl in front of him.
The girl remained silent for a moment, as if she were having an internal struggle.
After a moment, she said firmly, "My name is Brianna Lorraine."
Hmm—it's that familiar name again.
However, Aaron was not entirely unsurprised; he had already guessed the answer.
Before returning to the library, Aaron saw several tombstones in the Lorraine family cemetery.
The people on those tombstones were all named "Briana Lorraine," except that there was an additional serial number after their names.
Therefore, Aaron deduced that the person before him should be named Brianna Lorraine VI, right?
The girl's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and explained, "Although many people have emphasized the origin of my name to me, I don't want to just be a continuation of that name. I am who I am, I have my own thoughts, I can make my own decisions, I am a living, breathing person, not some kind of sixth reincarnation."
So that's how it is—Aaron couldn't help but think to himself—that advice to "be yourself" was something she said to him.
Ah—Miss Brianna, do you know that you have made your heirs live in your shadow?
"I'm sorry," Aaron bowed deeply, "may I call you Miss Lorraine then?"
"Suit yourself," Miss Lorraine narrowed her eyes, "but you clearly know my identity and my family. Just who are you?"
"Just an ordinary librarian," Aaron laughed. "And you shouldn't be surprised that I know who you are—after all, you've already seen this portrait that looks exactly like you."
Although, but.
This portrait was the only thing that puzzled Aaron the most.
Not long ago, he witnessed the assassination of "Briana Lorraine V" and saw her remains.
Despite inheriting some of Miss Brianna's characteristics, Aaron was perfectly able to tell that they were two different people.
In other words, the person who inherits Brianna's name will not inherit her appearance.
But why does Miss Lorraine look exactly like Miss Brianna?
What exactly was Miss Brianna's curse back then?
The curse has completely disappeared, so what kind of being is Miss Lorraine in front of me?
Why did she give Aaron this portrait in the first place? It was as if it were a precise prophecy she made decades ago about this very moment.
"So," Miss Lorraine asked doubtfully, "is this really a portrait of me?"
I don't think so.
"Who is that?"
"She is also Brianna Lorraine, or the first Brianna Lorraine. Some call her the Servant of Evil. She was the first duchess of the Plains of Lorraine, and also a duchess. Do you understand now?"
Miss Lorraine nodded. "But what is her connection to this library?"
This question made Aaron think deeply.
Miss Brianna held a special place in Aaron's heart, but perhaps this summary is the most accurate: "She was my student."
