"Alright, children, the time for the happy dinner is over, let's hurry back to our respective rooms, may you have a sweet dream!"
When the fun was over, Mrs. Rebecca clapped her hands and motioned for the children to return to their rooms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cecilia reluctantly glanced at Charlotte, while Claire and Edie pointed to Charlotte's hair before leaving, as if they were trying to convey something to her.
What's wrong with the hair?
Charlotte quietly wiped the silver spoon with a napkin, then looked at it carefully. The blurred light reflected the appearance of a young man, who looked funny and ridiculous because of the curved surface, his face was as long as a horse, and he had strange silver-white hair......
Wait, silver-white hair?
Charlotte tore off one of her hair and put it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully, and then immediately let out an exaggerated scream.
"Wow, ahh
His exclamation stopped the crowd who hadn't yet left, and Charlotte noticed that all of them had sad expressions.
"What, what's wrong! What's wrong with you? Am I becoming a grandfather who is dozens of years old? Ah, God, is this a punishment for me? How should I flirt with my sister in the future!"
"Well, it's okay, second brother. You're not getting older, it's just that your hair color has changed, and you feel more handsome, really! really! hehe!"
Vivien Leigh smirked and looked at Charlotte, in fact, her title had revealed that Charlotte's physical condition was far from as simple as she thought.
"You're a liar! You've never called me my second brother! Damn, you're hiding something from me, right, tell me quickly! It's so strange that one by one is so gentle to me! Am I not a nasty little ghost in your eyes? Why did you suddenly change your attitude!"
"Charlotte!"
Lawrence suddenly let out a loud shout, and his astonishing spirit made the audience fall silent. He walked up to Charlotte, bent slightly over his shoulder, and said to him with a serious expression.
"Trust me, it's okay! Your problem will be solved, this is your father's promise to you. Now, I'll take you to meet the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, Aven and Vivien Leigh, and you'll come with you. There are some things that I would like to announce to you today. ”
He straightened up and nodded to Rebecca, who motioned for the maids to take the rest of the noble boys to rest, then gently supported Charlotte's weak body and followed Lawrence to the guest room above the castle.
Along the way, Charlotte felt so nervous. He found that he was far from being as open-minded as he had imagined, and what if he had really suffered some irreversible damage and would never be able to learn martial arts or magic in the future? Will he become a waste? From a thousand-year-old nobleman with noble blood to the mortal world, he has become a weak man who is not even as good as a farmer?
His head was full of thoughts, and he followed Mrs. Rebecca like a puppet. After passing through several corridors, they came to a mahogany door carved with intricate reliefs.
Grand Duke Erosa took a slight half step forward and gently knocked on the door. Soon, an inorganic and cold voice came from the room.
"Come in. ”
"Excuse me!"
Hearing the other party's response, Lawrence straightened his clothes and walked into the door very respectfully. When Charlotte and the others had all entered, they noticed that the extremely powerful father was bowing deeply to Sylvia, who was sitting in a leather chair and sipping tea, in a humble manner.
"May the splendor of magic always be in your hands, noble Grand Duke of Icewind. ”
As Lawrence, who also belonged to the top class of the nobility of the Grand Duke and was also a legend in personal strength, such an attitude was inevitably too low. But given Sylvia's true identity, it stands to reason that Lawrence would be so humble.
Noticing her father's actions, Charlotte immediately realized that the Clayderman family should have always been inextricably linked to the top legend of one of the Three Saints of Annihilation. Sure enough, the next conversation between the two also confirmed this.
"Lawrence, you don't have to be so deferential. ”
"No, Your Highness, if it weren't for your care of our family, perhaps the Clayderman family would have been annihilated in turbulent times. For you, who are on a par with your ancestors, we can't be too respectful as a junior!"
But as Charlotte expected, such a respectful gesture would mean nothing to Sylvia. Sure enough, the puppet-like blonde girl slammed the black tea on the cup and plate for a long time, and replied coldly and indifferently.
"Whatever, have you already decided?"
Blonde girl?!
Charlotte, who was still thinking about her own thoughts, saw Sylvia sitting at the round table, and her first reaction was to rub her eyes in disbelief.
Look again, rub again, look again!
The skin is as smooth as jade, and the slender and smooth long legs that are slightly inclined after being brought together. Looking up again, her beautiful blonde hair naturally hung down to her beautifully shaped chest, and her face was as delicate as that of a 17-year-old girl, like a budding flower, in that delicate age that seemed to be unbloomed. makes her look as shy and delicate as a flower bone, and seductive when she is beautiful and blooming.
But don't get me wrong! This only refers to the appearance of Sylvia in front of her, in fact, this girl with a shelf life of up to 3,000 years still maintains her usual expressionless attitude.
"Hey, hey, it's strange, why do you still have that girlish face!"
Charlotte pointed at Sylvia rudely, for the facts before her were so impactful that her mouth was open in an O-shape.
"What a faux pas, or what do you think I'm going to become?
Sylvia's delicate eyebrows were slightly together, a very subtle change, but a slight emotional fluctuation could be heard in her tone.
"Charlotte, don't you kneel down and apologize to the Grand Duke! What about your aristocratic etiquette!
Lawrence turned back to Charlotte and yelled, but was quickly stopped by Sylvia, who was sitting in front of him.
"Elders...... Forget it, both father and son are unlikable guys. Charlotte, come here. ”
Charlotte was like a ******, so strong that she was about to break her head, what a joke, she had just offended this old witch, who knows if she would give herself some color again. In the Endless Corridor, he was already bitter about Sylvia's retaliatory actions.
However, the revolt was ineffective. Sylvia just hooked her fingers, and Charlotte floated forward as if she was being pushed by an invisible force. He screamed in the air, trying to ask for help from his relatives around him, but the rest of the group watched in silence except for Vivien Leigh, who reached out in vain to reach him.
"Spare your life, Lord Sylvia, the little one has already learned that he is wrong!"
Immediately begged for mercy, and when she knew that no one would stop this puppet girl, Charlotte immediately abandoned the festival!
He looked up expectantly, pretending to be very white, and smirked as he opened his mouth and touched the back of his head. He looked like a 12-year-old mentally handicapped child who was still snorting and playing with snot.
Perhaps because the appearance was so exaggerated, a slight vortex appeared on Sylvia's face, a puppet girl who was always expressionless. But soon, she seemed to realize her abnormality, and stretched out her white fingers and tapped the corners of her lips slightly.
"Really...... Odd. ”
Her emotions quickly turned into a pool of stagnant water, and she said in a voice that did not fluctuate emotionally.
"Charlotte, I have to tell you something. Because you use the evidence of the root without restraint, and use magic beyond the limits of your own ability, the result is that the Book of Atroac sleeps. And you, your mental power has also become chaotic, and your body has become a mess because of the strong demonic energy. ”
"To put it simply, you've become a wreck. In the future, you will not be able to learn martial arts and magic. ”
What she feared had finally come true, and when Charlotte heard this, a wave of despair could not help but explode. But soon, he thought of the sleeping Elle again, and raised his head and asked.
"What about Elle?
"Do you care more about the evidence of the root cause than your own body? Rest assured, after all, it is a root artifact, and the Book of Atroac will not be restored in a long time. But you, you should be feeling weak by now. I forgot to mention that not only will you not be able to learn martial arts and magic, but you will also be weaker than ordinary people in the future. ”
It's even more than the last news! It's already hitting me to the point where I want to kill myself!
"Please, Sister Sylvia, please don't say such horrible things with a blank face, okay?"
"Charlotte!"
It seemed that Lawrence wanted to scold the rude Charlotte again, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a wave of Sylvia's hand.
So, the man as mighty as a lion could only stare at Charlotte with a vicious gaze, which seemed to mean that he would give you some color later. Of course, whether this is just Lawrence, who has a lot of political talent, is playing on the scene, it is difficult to say.
Of course, it's not like there's no solution. ”
"Sister, please don't talk and pant for breath!"
Realizing that Sylvia preferred the title of sister, Charlotte, who had a tinkling abacus, immediately hit the snake with the stick. This time, even Lawrence didn't stop his rude way of addressing him.
"However, this comes at a cost. ”
Sylvia, the delicate doll-like girl picked up the black tea again, and from Charlotte's point of view, she could only see her blue pupils as deep as the sea.
"The price is that you have to follow me back to Icewind Castle, and I will help you recuperate physically and mentally, and then follow me to learn magic. Other than that, I'm sure there's no other great being in the world who will go to great lengths to take care of that mess for you. ”
Being able to learn magic from Sylvia, one of the Three Saints of Annihilation?What is the price of this, it's like a pie falling from the sky!Is there any need to think about it?You can recover your health and learn the coveted spell from a top mage, so you don't have to hesitate at all!
"I ......"
"But, Charlotte...... If you learn magic, I'll have to banish you from the Clayderman family lineage according to the clan rules!"
