Chapter 1Catherine

1730 london/England

While no one dared to step outside in the pouring rain on this London evening, a man was trying to move through the puddles that turned into floods in the narrow and dirty street.Even the raincoat couldn't prevent the rain from penetrating into it. On closer inspection, it was clear that the man was not alone. In his lap, a baby aged one-and-a-half or two, unaware of anything, was sleeping in his crib.

This crip has protected the baby from rain quite well. Finally, the man entered through the garden door of a large dark blue-painted two storey house with a small low door that looked more beautiful than the houses on the street, and knocked on the door.When the maid opened the door, the man told her that he wanted to see Lori. The girl took the man to an empty room and told her to wait.The sound of laughter and music from outside made the sleeping baby fidget uneasily. A moment later, a very pretty woman in her late twenties, with red hair and blue eyes, entered the room. The man had his back to the door, heard the voice, turned around and said, "Lori."

Lori had a charm that could seduce any man. He walked in and sat in the chair opposite the man.She lit his cigar and handed it to the man, but the man refused.

"You wanted to see me, Elric, tell me quickly, I have a greasy client waiting for me downstairs."

Elric suddenly wondered how he had once been infatuated with this woman. She still hasn't lost any of her beauty. Unfortunately, she could not be said to be as moral as she was beautiful.Who knows how many men she has seduced.

"Yeah, I have an offer you can't refuse." "What if he's going to marry me or not?" Lori burst out laughing. "Please stop the bullshit, There's a baby and I want you to take care of this baby."

Lori thought it was a joke at first, but then she noticed the baby in the crib at the foot of the man.

" Can you tell me how can take care of the baby,"

Elric calmly said, "If you accept this, you will be given a house and paid regularly every month, you won't have to do this job any longer, just protect the baby and take care of him."

Lori squinted." You you're serious"

"There is no other choice, or the boy will die," said Elric.

Although Lori might seem cold, she was compassionate on the inside. Besides, there was good money in this business. After a long discussion, Lori accepted this offer. She knew nothing but the baby's name. Elric warned him not to tell anyone about the baby. A few days later, the baby and Lori were already on their way, settling in a town outside of London where the girl would grow up and receive regular money every month. "Catherine." That was the baby's name. He was such a sweet baby and Lori really warmed to him.

A woman had lost her baby that rainy night. Lady Shalottmore still couldn't believe her daughter was dead, and the whole castle was groaning at her cries. His daughter "Catherine", who was not even 2 years old, passed away from this life. Since that day, sadness has never been absent from the Shalott mansion.
