I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

"But, to be honest, I personally think this is the most ridiculous case."

Lucius spread his hands and said helplessly:

"The most likely possibility is that someone replaced the old lady and fabricated this lie of returning to youth."

"After all, crossing timelines is something so special."

"Well, that's a possibility."

Iveliya nodded, the light in her eyes did not fade:

"But we still have to confirm it with our own eyes."

Iveliya had already decided that she would observe Lady Charlotte closely with her own eyes later.

An hour later, Lucius and Iveliya arrived at the Ramirez family mansion.

This is a typical aristocratic mansion with a solemn and elegant appearance. There are carefully trimmed shrubs and flower beds in front of the door, showing the owner's taste and wealth.

When Lucius knocked on the door, it was opened by a maid in a neat uniform.

When she saw Lucius, she was dazed for a moment, then bowed respectfully.

"Excuse me, is this the Imperial Envoy, Lord Lucius?"

The maid asked softly.

"it's me."

Lucius nodded and took out his ID:

"I'm here to visit Baron Ramirez and Lady Charlotte."

The maid's expression became a little strange, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She bit her lower lip and finally said only one sentence:

"Sir, your timing may be a little unfortunate..."

"The specific situation... you will know it when you come in."

Lucius and Iveliya exchanged a puzzled look before following the maid into the mansion.

Portraits of the Ramirez family's successive heads and wives hung in the corridor. The most recent painting showed a young baron and a beautiful lady.

This must be Lady Charlotte, who is indeed a beauty.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the reception room, they heard a noisy sound coming from inside, as if someone was arguing.

The maid pushed the door open with a troubled look on her face. The scene before her made Lucius and Ivilia freeze in their tracks.

In the reception room, four elderly people, whose average age appeared to be over 60, were pushing and wrestling with each other, cursing from time to time.

On the sofa, a young woman was watching the scene helplessly, with a look of helplessness and confusion on her face.

"I'm mommy's favorite puppy!"

An old man with white hair pushed another away, his voice hoarse but loud.

"Bullshit! You were the one who loved to make mom angry the most when you were little!"

The other old man fought back without giving in.

"Neither of you two brothers are good people! I am the only one who is truly filial!"

The third old man also joined the battle.

"Haha, you three guys, how old are you and still fighting like this? Don't you know that this will bother your mother?"

"Unlike me, I only know how to be my mother's good little puppy~"

The fourth and fattest old man announced proudly, but was immediately pushed to the ground by the other three. He kicked his legs like a turtle that couldn't turn over.

Lucius:? ? ?

I was amused, it turned out to be my junior classmate Wa.

It seems that I, Principal CF, have to take action.

"Puppy...puppy?"

Iveliya was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She muttered softly:

"What's wrong with these old men?"

Such a cruel scene would not happen even in a mental hospital.

The young woman sitting on the sofa is Lady Charlotte, who is rumored to have regained her youth.

She looked to be about twenty years old, with delicate features and an elegant temperament, but her eyes were full of confusion and helplessness, and she obviously didn't know what to do with the chaotic scene before her.

Charlotte Carlisle Lv.12

Additional entry: Backtracking (A)

【Retracing (A)】: The strange phenomenon of individual time retracing, perhaps, this is just an experiment?

"Trying to throw someone from one end of time to the other is incredibly exhausting... Ha! I won't do such a thankless task!"

Iveliya: ...

When she saw this entry, Iveliya knew that Lady Charlotte's situation was different from hers.

Of course, her rejuvenation is real and not some replacement conspiracy.

On the other side, Lucius also stepped forward to stop the old men's farce.

"Gentlemen!"

He spoke in a dignified and unquestionable tone:

"Do you feel honored by your current behavior?"

Hearing the voice, the four old men stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Lucius.

When they saw Lucius's attire and demeanor, they immediately fell silent and stood apart obediently, like elementary school students caught fighting by the principal.

"Are you Lord Lucius?"

One of the old men asked tentatively.

This is the current Baron Ramirez, and he is the only one present who knows that Lucius will come today.

"Yes, I am the Imperial Commissioner Lucius."

Lucius straightened his collar and spoke seriously:

"I have been ordered by His Majesty to investigate Lady Charlotte's special circumstances."

Hearing this title, the old people became even more reserved and hurriedly straightened their messy clothes, trying to restore some dignity.

"I am the current Baron Ramirez, Richard Ramirez."

The old man who had initially confirmed Lucius's identity stepped forward and bowed to him with standard courtesy.

"This is my younger brother. The other two are my parents' adopted sons."

"Ah."

Lucius nodded and turned his gaze to the young woman on the sofa:

"This must be Lady Charlotte?"

"Yes......"

Baron Richard spoke somewhat awkwardly:

"Although she now insists she is Charlotte Carlisle, I am certain she is my mother."

Lucius turned to Lady Charlotte and spoke softly:

"Ma'am, can you talk to me for a moment?"

Lady Charlotte looked up at Lucius, her expression changing from blankness to a strange sense of relief.

Perhaps it was because of Lucius' handsome appearance and irresistible charm, or perhaps it was because he stopped the outrageous farce just now.

Anyway, she nodded slightly.

"Of course, sir."

Her voice was soft and elegant, with a hint of old-fashioned aristocratic accent:

“I’d love to talk to you.”

Lucius sat down on the sofa opposite her, and Iveliya followed suit.

"Ma'am, please tell me, what is your last memory?"

"What's the last thing you remember before you woke up and found yourself here?"

Lucius asked gently.

Lady Charlotte thought for a moment, her brows furrowed.

"I remember I had just finished celebrating my twentieth birthday at home."

"I felt very tired, so I rested early after the celebration..."

She shook her head, sadness in her eyes:

"Then I woke up here, with an old man standing beside my bed, surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings and people."

"They all say I'm Baroness Ramirez and that I'm eighty-five years old, and this sixty-year-old man says he's my own son!"

She pointed at Baron Richard, her tone full of disbelief:

"But I'm only twenty years old and not married yet!"

"I don't know why I'm here more than sixty years later!"

Lucius and Iveliya looked at each other. Iveliya nodded, then shook her head.

Lucius understood what she meant and continued:

"Have you ever come into contact with any special objects? Or participated in any rituals?"

Lady Charlotte immediately shook her head:

"No, everything is normal."

Lucius turned to Baron Richard:

"Sir Richard, did your mother do anything special before this happened?"

He thought for a moment and added:

"For example, has she ever seen the play Pride and Prejudice?"

"No, my mother has never been interested in drama."

Baron Richard shook his head and gave a negative answer.

Lucius was a little disappointed. It seemed that the clue would end here.

But at this moment, Baron Richard seemed to suddenly remember something and said:

"However, speaking of Pride and Prejudice, our whole family doesn't like this work very much, whether it is the original novel or the adapted play."

"Oh why?"

Lucius immediately became interested.

"Because my mother was once a close friend of the original author of this work."

Baron Richard explained, a shadow of the past flashing across his eyes:

"But later the two had some disagreements and conflicts and parted ways."

He sighed and continued:

"What's worse is that the author deliberately created a character with the same name as my mother in the work, which made everyone in our family very unhappy."

This information made Lucius' eyes light up.

Another piece of the puzzle fell into his hands.

"Is the author you mentioned still alive?"
