On the western outskirts of Beagle, a small two-story building, apparently recently renovated, is casting a long shadow in the sunset, the white pulp on the walls is emitting a peculiar smell, and the plants in the corners that have been glued to the walls at the same time as the construction have sprouted.

Anvena hurried down the street, passing by a few townspeople, who nodded and smiled at the young girl, and Anvina returned the salute one by one, and then came to the door of the building.

Pulling out the key, she pushed the door open.

"Mom, I'm back...... How did you end up here? ”

However, as soon as she crossed the threshold, she saw two uninvited guests sitting in front of her table.

"We asked the people in town and found out about your home."

Said the man of the two, who had short light gray hair and amber eyes, was handsome and young, and looked calm and confident.

"So I took the liberty of coming as a guest, hoping it didn't bother you."

"What about my mother......"

Anvena shuddered, although she was aware of it at the time, but she didn't expect them to really find herself.

"She's cooking dinner in the kitchen, well, it smells good."

The man smiled, and at the same time, Anvina glanced into the kitchen, and did see that her mother was humming a little tune, and as always, she was relieved before she opened the closet and took out the cutlery for dinner.

Since it was usually just her and her mother who ate, the rest of the cutlery was picked up in the back of the cupboard, and Avena washed it a little before placing it on the table.

"Introduce yourself, I'm Reiner. Ian Gray, this is Claire, and as you can see, we are mages. ”

While Avena was arranging the plate, the man, Reiner said to him.

"I know you're mages, I've seen you in the mansion."

Hearing Avena's response, Reiner bowed slightly, looking up and down at the maid lady who had noticed earlier.

Anvina has long golden hair with slightly curly hair, her skin is quite delicate, and her appearance is above average in Reiner's opinion, but she is slightly plain without makeup, and she is not a maid outfit, but an ordinary coarse cloth dress, to be honest, if it weren't for the long golden hair that is too eye-catching, I'm afraid Reiner would be difficult to distinguish it from several maids.

He also relied on this characteristic to inquire around the town.

"Looks like I'm not looking for the wrong person."

Reiner confirmed, glancing at each other, a hint of hesitation flashing in Avena's emerald eyes.

"You know Arymia, don't you?"

The movement of Anvina's hand stalled because of Reiner's question, and she gently squeezed the edge of the plate, as if it had been entangled for a long time, before she sighed softly and said.

"Yes, I know Miss Elimia, and in fact, I have been in charge of her diet and daily life at home for the past few years."

Taking Avena's plate, Reiner placed it securely on the table.

"What the hell is wrong with her, this is not the Arimia I know!"

Claire asked, she hadn't figured out why Reiner had brought her to the house, but now it dawned on her.

"This ...... It's a long story. ”

Anvena bit her lower lip and didn't continue.

"Oh, Anvina, you're back, these two mages came to you on purpose, I made your favorite chickpea stew."

Her mother came out of the kitchen with a steaming pot of food, and that was the end of the conversation.

"Madame, I'll help you."

Reiner raised his arm slightly, and the mage's hand grasped the pot of stew firmly, placing it firmly in the center of the table.

"Oh, that's so embarrassing, thank you so much, Anvina, what are you still doing, come and help."

"Okay, Mom."

Anvina was stunned before hurrying into the kitchen.

......

Dinner was not a delicacy, but it was also simple and delicious, and after a few people had finished eating the stew, Avena's mother went upstairs to rest after cleaning up the table and kitchen, and only when there were only three of them did Reiner continue to ask.

"I wonder if the relationship between Elemia and the Elbiore family is not good."

Hearing Reiner's words, Avena was a little surprised, with an expression of how do you know.

"If it is really according to the tradition of these pure-blood mages, Elemia is going to marry her brother, then she is now a bride-to-be, and she should take good care of her, but the clothes on her body are obviously not taken care of, and the whole person is also very haggard, not to mention, the original personal maid has been replaced, which is not a normal situation."

Reiner's gaze fell on Avena, giving the little girl, who was not yet twenty years old, the feeling of being targeted by a beast.

"How do you know I've been replaced......"

"You just told me."

Reiner shrugged, stunned Avena as he continued.

"I think you should still care about Elimia, otherwise you wouldn't have been touched when you heard her name, you know, of all the maids, you were the only one who wavered at that time."

"Am I so obvious?"

Anvena bit her finger lightly, and to be honest, she was a little powerless in the face of an opponent like Reiner's conversation.

"So, Anvina, if you can tell me about Arymia and the Elbiore family, I might be able to help her."

Lenadon seduced her, causing Avena to fall silent.

After a long time, in the flickering candlelight, Anvina spoke slowly.

"Actually, Miss Elimia is an illegitimate daughter."

"Bastard ???"

Claire almost squirted out the halfway cup of tea, her eyes widened with incredulity.

"Actually, Master Elbiore originally had three wives, the first gave birth to Master Edward and Miss Isis, the second gave birth to Miss Margaret, and the third was Miss Elimia's mother."

Explained, Avena had a deeply melancholy expression.

"But Miss Elimia's father is not Lord Elbiore, and not long after Miss Elimia was born, her mother was accused of fornicating with other men, and was imprisoned in the tower until her death, and later, she was not buried in the family cemetery, but in the public cemetery with the rest of the town."

"So, Elemia has been in a very awkward position in the family since she was a child, and even the people of the Elbiore family look down on her......"

Reiner reasoned that he didn't expect this to be the secret, and that Elemia wouldn't have a good time at home in the future.

"That's right, Miss Elimia has always thought that her mother had betrayed the family and felt inferior to her identity, and perhaps that's why she wanted to stay here."

Anvina added, sighing softly, rather helpless.
