The Crimson Queen Royena's diary was now at an end.
Looking at the worn notebook in her hands, Charlotte felt a tumultuous sea inside her heart, unable to calm for a long ti.
Especially those two lines penned on the notebook, "Lilith" had left through Royena's hand...
"History has never changed? But... can history be created?"
Charlotte murmured to herself, sinking into deep thought.
It seed to her that she had grasped sothing, yet couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
However, that question which had puzzled her since her first crossing now seed to have found its answer:
"So... my second crossing was truly ti-space travel, and moreover, the creator of the Blood Holy Scripture, the Bloodline's 'True Ancestor' Lilith, also knew about the 'ti-space travel' that happened to ." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveIꜰire
"In a sense, my 'crossing'... might even be by her design."
"The Oracle she left behind... seems more like a warning, a guide; she knew I would cross over, she knew I would 'influence' history."
"But... what do 'never changed' and 'can create' an?"
Charlotte furrowed her brows, feeling that the enigma surrounding Lilith was multiplying.
This 'Blood True Ancestor' whom she apprenticed under through her traversal of history, and whom the Bloodline had forgotten, was becoming ever more mystifying, and ever more elusive to her.
"If only she had left more Oracles, just the cipher-like two lines... the information is still too ager."
Charlotte shook her head.
Her crossing relied on the power of the Blood Holy Scripture.
This conclusion, after nurous tests combined with the diary of Royena she now had, Charlotte was pretty confident about.
In a way, if the Blood Holy Scripture's creator Lilith truly intended for Charlotte to cross over and impact the world line, then perhaps... the Blood Holy Scripture's creation was not a "failure," as Royena had believed.
On the contrary, it could be considered a success.
However, what puzzled Charlotte was, if Lilith really sent her across, what did she want her to do?
And why was she, of all people, chosen?
If history couldn't be changed, why could she leave her mark on actual history with the status of a "Savior"?
She even succeeded in leaving a "was here" in the Tower of the Royal Family's library in New Moon Kingdom!
Did she... truly not 'change' history?
What if... if it was not her who changed history, if the "was here" inscription had always been there, if her "crossing" was a "historical inevitability" from the start...
Then, what was the aning of her "crossing"?
And there was Royena's diary.
Royena's diary was so full of blurs, not simply smudges, but obscured in a way that even Charlotte couldn't comprehend.
Why obscure?
Who was obscuring?
This kind of "obscurity"... did the real Royena know?
Did Lilith... know?
Wait...
"Obscuration"?
Seemingly realizing sothing, Charlotte's eyes suddenly focused.
As if lightning flashed through her mind, Charlotte suddenly beca aware of a detail she had overlooked:
"Wait a second..."
"Since just now, I seem to have been preoccupied with whether 'history' has been changed by ."
"But... what if it's not 'changed'?"
"Based on the information I know, the Bloodline mbers have all forgotten Lilith, not just Lilith, they are even unclear about the mories of the Mythical Era."
"In Royena's diary, the vast majority of entries regarding the Mythical Era are also unclear."
"Not just Royena's diary, in various Bloodline records I've found, the past of the Ancient Era is mostly vague; in a way, my desire to understand what happened during that era is because of the lack of 'historical records.'"
"But... what if this lack of 'historical records' is an inevitability? What if... the mories 'forgotten' by the Bloodline were inevitable?"
"What if... just what if..."
"What if... the problem does not lie with the Bloodline or the records, but with 'history'?"
"'History' cannot change, but 'history' can be created... 'History' cannot change, but 'history' can be created!"
"The Bloodline 'forgot' that period, the records 'forgot' that period, even Royena's diary... 'forgot' that period."
"'Forgetting'... ant that there was a 'blank' in the historical record."
"Is there a problem with 'history'?"
"Has 'history'... been twisted? Been redacted? Has history... developed 'blanks'?"
"Could it be that the aning of those two lines in Royena's diary was for to 'go back to the past' and fill in the 'blanks in history'?"
With this thought, Charlotte felt as if the fog clouding her mind was suddenly lifted, and much beca clear.
"Not to 'change' history, but to... 'create' history?"
"I think, perhaps I've understood the true aning of those two sentences."
Exhaling softly, Charlotte looked again at Royena's diary.
She flipped the pages, looking at the unclear sections, her gaze growing distant:
