The noblewoman continued to answer expressionlessly:
"My son brought us here. Theodore did not want us to leave, and he had no way to help us escape death as he had, so he trapped all our souls here. I am in the Small Auditorium in the cemetery, his father is in the left burial chamber of the underground cemetery, and his elder sister is beneath the tree behind the cemetery's western wall.
"After Theodore's future wife, perhaps his children, and his other brothers die, they should also appear here. Young man, it is not that I do not wish to leave. I simply cannot leave."
Shade pressed down on the cat's head against his chest. He could clearly sense that she wanted to say something to comment on this matter.
"Then aside from your son, who else traveled through time?"
After all, the Paradox Worm had yet to be found. This question was important, but this time the noblewoman shook her head:
"I do not know. I was already dead when Theodore traveled through time. Everything I mentioned to you just now was what he told me himself when he came to find me."
Shade frowned slightly:
"Then do you know how he traveled through time?"
"Tree Hollow."
The noblewoman precisely spoke that term, but then fell silent again. Only after a moment of silence did she continue:
"I do not know how much you understand about this, but Creekwood Town has had legends about the Time Tree Hole since ancient times. I was the daughter of an aristocratic family from elsewhere, married into this town, and was not born locally. My husband did not tell me much about such matters while he was alive.
"I only know that the Bronte Family learned of the Tree Hollow's existence long ago.
