Eric Blois, the current head of the Blois family, has taken over the vast French No. 1 wizarding family from his father since he was young, and can be said to be known to everyone in the upper echelons of the French wizarding world.

In the past half of his life, he has never compromised on anything or anyone until now.

But today, facing his only daughter, who is also the love of his life, Willie, he feels that he may have to admit defeat.

"Willy, Daddy understands...... Do whatever you want! Regardless, in Dad's heart, Mr. McLean is still trustworthy, although ...... I can't understand what he's doing now. ”

Blois had been sitting in the hall for days, and had eaten nothing but some dry food and water that he had brought with him.

And right next to him, Willy had been sitting there for several days, and the father and daughter were separated by a few empty seats.

However, it was these empty seats that made Blois feel as if he were miles away from his daughter—and for the first time, he felt that he might not actually know his most beloved daughter as well as he remembered.

He thought that Willy was a slender and weak girl.

For the past ten years, due to blood curses and seals, Willy has spent a lonely and helpless childhood. She had no friends, no laughter, not even sadness—if she had been Blois himself, he would not have been able to survive such a dozen years.

Therefore, Blois has always felt that he owes something to his daughter.

As the head of the Blois family, he can give his daughter the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, the most free life, and the school, classmates and teachers that her daughter wants.

But he never gave his daughter the most ordinary smile that almost everyone can have.

So he thought that his daughter had always lived in a life bordering on despair.

But it's no wonder that he guesses so much, after all, Willie didn't like to talk much before, and even if he wanted to ask, Willie might not want to say.

But what he didn't know was that Willy didn't actually feel too much pain.

It is true that it is not a good thing to have no friends since childhood, but people are often very adaptable. Just like Willy, it doesn't matter if you get used to it, but you also like to be with all kinds of plants.

For her, even during the period when the seal was lifted and she returned to normal, the time she felt most comfortable was actually tending to the garden in the atrium of Fort Blois.

And Blois didn't know that in Willy's heart, she had never seen Maca as a "benefactor" who had saved her, but a friend who could make her feel comfortable together.

Yes, Maca is her best friend, so ...... When her best friend needs her, she'll want to help! Just like when Maca did her best to help her.

"I don't understand what Maca is doing." Suddenly, Willy finally turned her head, looked at her father seriously, and said, "But that's okay, I just need to know that he needs me to stay with him, and sometimes do little things for him, and that's enough." ”

"You kid—" Blois stared at his daughter's face for a moment before he shook his head and sighed, "Okay, good...... I got it, I got it. ”

"Thank you, Dad."

As she spoke, Willie pushed aside her chair and stood up, then inexplicably walked towards the door that led to the hallway.

"Willy, where are you going?" Blois asked busily.

"Go and make something to eat," Willy paused, turning around, "Daddy has been sitting here for days, and he hasn't eaten much, so I'll help you make it." ”

"Huh?" When Blois heard this, he was surprised and said, "You know how to cook?" ”

Seeing her father's look of disbelief, Willy opened her mouth, and finally turned sharply and walked briskly into the door. A few seconds later, Blois heard his daughter's voice coming from the hallway:

"Wait for me here."

After a moment, Blois, who was a little stunned, said to himself in a little surprise:

"Madame, if you were still here, how nice it would be!"

……

"Phillips."

Suddenly, Sarah woke up from a long dream, muttered the name, and sat up from her bed.

"Awake?"

Maca was still sitting in the chair not far away, just as she had been before she had fallen asleep, which made her wonder for a moment how long she had been asleep.

"Mr. McLean, are you still here?"

"Of course I'll have to stay here, this may be a new life for you, but it's also a very important study for me." Maca smiled and said, "Now it seems that the harvest is very large. ”

"Really?"

Sarah said, subconsciously touching her face, and then said with some confusion:

"But why do I feel like nothing has changed?"

"That's right!" Maca nodded, "It just doesn't feel like it's changed, because this attempt failed - thank you for giving me a great reference sample." ”

"What! Failed? ”

When Sarah heard this, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on her face. She looked at her hands a little confused, and it took a few seconds before she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Nope! McLean, this is—"

"Well," Maca shrugged her shoulders and smiled apologetically, "I lied to you, just to test the results...... It seems to be working out pretty well. ”

"You ......"

Sarah stared at him for a long time, then pursed her lips and said seriously:

"Thank you, Maka...... It's true. ”

"Oh, I said no, we're just using each other." Maca waved her hand, and then said, "By the way, you may still be lacking in negative emotions, but there is nothing you can do about it in a short period of time." Because the power behind the black door may be complete, but what I have at my disposal is only two of them. ”

"In other words, do you have to wait for you to master all the rules of the soul?" Sarah asked.

When Maca heard this, she immediately shook her head and said:

"I may not be able to do it in my life."

"It's okay, I'm already satisfied," Sarah said softly, feeling the subtle change in her heart, "So, let me say thank you!" ”

"If I say no, then no," Maka stood up abruptly, pointing to the stone jar in the center of the room, "Instead of thanking me, you better help me get this right!" I think it's pretty much 'grown' in the last few days. ”
