Act 186. The Last Secret

"Huh?"

Avena took a half-step back, but behind her was the walls of the banquet hall, the cold walls giving Avena a hard touch that calmed her consciousness from her previous panic.

"My ...... What's the matter? ”

She asked hesitantly, but at Reiner's gaze, the maid lady already understood that the other party had probably guessed everything.

That's right, how could someone who can reveal the secrets of the Elbiore family based on theory alone not see through this.

"Miss Avenna, who is your father?"

Reiner glanced at Elimia, who was surrounded by several students, exchanging something, not noticing this, and paused, Reiner continued.

"When I checked the family tree of the Elbiore, I found that the golden hair of the Elbiore family still maintained a strong dominant character even when intermarrying with foreigners."

Reiner whispered quickly and briefly.

"Your mother, we've all seen, has brown hair, but you're a dazzling blonde, even if it's a little variegated, but for the most part, it's still bright blonde hair."

If Avena appeared somewhere else, Reiner would certainly not be suspicious, just like Claire, although she was also blonde, she had nothing to do with the Elbiore family.

And from Anvina's words, it can be known that her mother used to be the maid of the Elbiore family, and her father is missing, and her blonde hair is worth pondering.

"The rest is all my guess, and you can take it as a joke."

Reiner shrugged his shoulders and said that he had no interest in revealing other people's secrets, and all he was doing now was simply confirming the correctness of his own genetic laws.

"Your mother, as a maid, was done some indescribable things by William, the head of the Elbiore family, the reason why it is William instead of George is because of your bright blonde hair, originally, it is very common for anything to happen between the master and the maid, but the Albiore family is a pure-blood family, they do not allow their blood to flow out, if your mother gave birth to you in the Elbiore family, then you may suffer a fate that is even worse than the previous Elemia."

An illegitimate daughter will be reduced to a tool for the eldest son to vent his desires, and he will not even have the title of wife.

Although as a maid, she has to work weekdays, but at least, to some extent, Anvena still has freedom.

"Your existence is a secret to the Elbiore family, perhaps your mother made up a lie, or maybe it was William's unintentional move, of course, it is more likely that he has defiled too many maids himself, and has long forgotten the existence of your mother, Elimia, and of course does not know your half-sister."

Reiner's words sent Anvena into shock.

It's not that she hasn't had such conjectures, Avena knows that blonde hair is very rare in this generation, and she hasn't asked her mother who her father is, but over the years, with the growth of experience, Avena has more or less guessed about her life experience.

Now, Reiner has reasoned out the matter completely.

He could even deduce that Avena's father was not George but William, which was much more detailed than Avena's own guesses.

Once the answer was revealed, Avena felt a little gloomy.

In the past, she had kept this secret in her heart, but as she watched Arymia be bound by the power of her family, Avena felt like she saw a future self.

Somewhat ashamed, she felt a little glad that her mother had left the manor in order to give birth to her, otherwise, she might have been poisoned by Edward without any protection.

Perhaps because of these emotional propulsions, Avena is very concerned about rescuing Arymia and helping her escape from the shackles of Elbiore's family, and she probably feels that in the process of saving Elemia, she is also saving herself in disguise.

"Now Edward has become a waster, according to their family tradition, although illegitimate daughters cannot obtain the right to inherit, but at least it is no problem to return to the family and enjoy some noble treatment, although Elemia refuses to inherit here, but legally, she has to deal with this manor after all, maybe you can't be a maid here anymore."

Reiner said, causing Avena to look up.

"No, I'm my mother's daughter and have nothing to do with the Elbiore family."

Avena said firmly, looking into Reiner's eyes.

"Maybe in the future, this manor doesn't need me anymore, but I won't beg for any benefits in exchange for my status."

Perhaps it is because she has been a maid for so many years that Anvena has deeply realized that relying on her identity and blood to be above others is not something to be proud of.

Although she once fantasized that one day, her true identity would be revealed and she would become a daughter, but now, Anvina does not yearn for this kind of life.

"Looks like you've found your own path."

Reiner didn't interfere much, Avena's choice was her own volition, and Reiner was not arrogant enough to try to change the decisions of others.

Putting one's own ideas above the will of others is what the Elbiore family does.

After thinking for a moment, Reiner didn't say anything more, there were still a few doubts in the matter, but they were not too important.

So he handed out a small piece of paper, on which was his name, as well as the logo and address of the Crescent Academy, this kind of thing called a business card was made by Reiner in his spare time, I heard that almost all mages of a little rank have their own business cards.

"If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the Crescent Moon Academy to find me, of course, when you are fine, you are also welcome to come and have a look, and meet Arimia."

"Well, I will."

Taking the card, Avena showed a faint smile, and Reiner realized at this time that the maid lady did have a little resemblance to Elimia, her soft smile was like a warm sunshine, with a little warmth.

Reiner couldn't help but start imagining what it would be like for Elimia, who had not been kind to him in the past, to laugh, and looked over.

Arymia sensed Reiner's gaze, and she was habitually a little angry, but it seemed that after thinking about it, she changed her mind.

The next moment, Arymia showed a faint smile, the subtle upward movement of the corners of her mouth was clearly captured by Reiner's eyes, it was a more restrained smile different from Avena's, as if Arymia was not used to showing such an expression.

But with her long crimson hair, such a smile is even more precious and bright.

Like a jewel.
