First Letter
Brat
Hey, annoying brat! Why are you disturbing our peace again?!
Hmph. I've traversed the realms for 300 years and met all kinds of people. You can't even make up a lie and yet, you're trying to fool me? No chance! Not at all!
Brat, I advise you not to waste your efforts asking for trouble. If you fulfill our wishes, I will consider giving the manor to you. No objection! No cheating! This is the word that I, Bennett Honore Jones Crete III, have built, and I have the rights to decide who owns the manor!
And if you disagree, I will get Sage to... ugh... yes! Hack you! Hack your email password, publish your embarrassing details on the Internet, and forward it all to your friends and family!
Hehe. Moving the portraits and trophy cup is embarrassing enough, isn't it? Don't forget, Sage knows how to pull up security footage too!
Haha! We have all the evidence we need, so I dare you!
How about it, brat? If you want to survive in society, then do as we say!
Great Earl Lumberton
Second Letter
Brat
Brat, I didn't expect you to be so proactive!
Thanks to your help, we avoided a major disaster. You deserve credit for your efforts, and for that, I'll tell you about the manor's haunted past. Haha. Take it as compensation!
Brat, can you guess how we learned to scare those guys you brought? Hmph! I think it's only fair those dishonest merchants scramble back home terrified!
Back to the topic. 50 years ago, it was the horror movie your Aunt Susan watched that gave us the inspiration. Haha. You didn't expect it, did you?
And 200 years ago, if we wanted to scare away unwanted guests, guess what we did? Haha. We pretended to be headless evil spirits and hold up a bloodied head with a ghastly knife scar to scare those cowards! But don't ask how we managed to lift things!
300 years ago, guess what the ghosts in our manor turned into to scare the nobles? Haha! I was lucky to meet some of them. They said they transformed into terrifying demons and ferocious monsters!
Hehe. When I'm in a better mood, I may call Sage to show you the hauntings of different times.
Wise Old Man
Third Letter
Brat
Brat, have you wondered why a tulip is Tulipe's city flower?
300 years ago, when I was alive, only Tulipe has this species on the entire continent! Back then, nobles from all over the continent fought for the tulips in my manor, and they are a must-have for even the royal chamber!
You think I'm just bragging about my past glory all day, aren't you?
If I could travel back in time through the diary like you, I wouldn't want to relive those glorious years when I ruled the battlefields.
What I miss most is the days of nurturing tulips with my wife. As a child, my wife was a natural with flowers. When our twins were born, we made up our minds to nurture the world's best tulips as a gift for them.
While we walked to the garden, the kids waddled behind us to see what color the newly sprouted flowers were. Just like that, my lovely kids, along with the seedlings in the garden bed, sprouted and grew.
Do you think it's a coincidence? Because on the day of their coming of age ceremony, the tulip that bloomed in our garden bed was the one we'd been dreaming of!
While listening to my children's laughter, I held my wife's hand and gazed at the newly blossomed tulip. I had no regrets and my dreams has been fulfilled.
I have lived a full life, brat, so I hope you don't have any regrets. Be brave and pursue your dreams - be it your career or love life, I believe you will succeed!
