Volume 1 - Shower Chapter 61: War Without Gunpowder (1)
Anastasia's Diary:
The last few days Zamir seemed to have behaved differently, with an eerie atmosphere of depression and hectic surrounding the entire Longtalon Fort.
The number of sentinels and patrols at Fort Longclaw increased several times, and supplies and decrees became more frequent.
My father has been giving more and more things to Anthony lately, and Anthony has become more and more rigid, and yesterday he even reprimanded me loudly, which made me lose face in front of little Lena and Elena, and I was almost angry. I just wanted to sneak out of the castle with my sisters, and Anthony was making too much of a fuss.
Ever since Anthony got married, I've felt like I've been robbed of all my favor by Anna - we're the same age. To be honest, I don't like Anna, I feel that Anna is very insincere with others, yes, she is a hypocritical woman.
Ay... I really envy Elena, Elena has a strong temperament, and both Sunderland and her father say that Elena will definitely be able to become a female general in the future. Of course, I actually envy Elena more for having a fight with Anthony and then narrowly missing out. Actually, I also know that Anthony didn't use his full strength, Anthony is very good at grappling, and a strong man like Sunderland and Giver can't beat Anthony in a head-to-head duel - he does have the capital to be arrogant.
Only Anthony is married, hey, Lord Gerald is too stubborn, why can't he feel my heart? Or is it that the Blazing Celestial Servants are too religious to express their feelings?
Actually, little Lena was very influenced by Agilyl, who was not very likable, and felt that she and Anna were the same kind of woman, but she was more frivolous than Anna, more arrogant than Anna, and of course, much more beautiful than Anna, but I obviously preferred Agilille to Anna, at least she was straightforward, not like Anna who made people feel like ghosts.
Little Lena really shouldn't have learned from Gyrille, I'm going to complain to Aunt Lena. It's enough to have Anthony and Agilyl, two mature guys in the family, and little Lena should resolutely draw a line with these two bad examples.
Actually, I can quite understand little Lena. As the youngest girl in the family, there always seems to be a sense of being stripped away. I hope Sister Lena can adjust her mentality, to be honest, how about a little girl who calls herself a woman from Donawanjia when she meets someone, it's also quite stupid and cute.

"Master, I have news to report below." Bolt bowed to old Griffinhardt and stood aside, watching old Griffinhardt eat the grapes.
Old Griffin Hart liked to eat grapes, but he didn't like to be disturbed while he was eating grapes. He had been admonished by many people that it was better to eat less sweet fruit at this age, but old Griffin Hart never once heeded these advices, and he continued to go his own way—he thought that these sweet juices would help him think, and would not make his mind rigid as he grew older.
After feasting, the owner of the Eagle's Nest pulled the napkin off his neck and wiped his hands. The purple-red juice was like blood, slowly soaking into a small patch of flawless white. "Hope is good news, Bolt, isn't it?"
"No, master, I'm sorry to disappoint you, your servant is incompetent and can't bring you any good news." Bolt said apologetically, all the few wrinkles on his face were twisted together, and his complexion was as ugly as it was.
"Hey, well, either these young people have some ability, or Kadore has grown up, otherwise you won't be able to bring any good news, report, which young talent makes you feel tricky?" Old Griffinhardt looked like he was in a state of mind, and although he said it with regret, it was not at all evident from his tone.
"The little girl."
"Camille Sindra? I think you've cleared all the beasts from the vicinity of the important facility, could it be that her druid path has opened up a new direction? It won't be so soon, the last time I saw her was 2 years ago. The owner of the Eagle's Nest was a little upset, believing that it was Camille who had caused trouble for his servant, but he thought it should not have been.
"Master Qiqi, it's not Miss Sindra. Miss Sindra's abilities have indeed improved, but not so much that I am helpless—and while I can't get a peek into her mind, I don't think she'll be able to find any clues about us. Usain Bolt swore by it.
"Could it be the girl who looks a bit like Funa?" Speaking of Old Lady Green, the old man was clearly in spirit.
"Master, you say this is really a bit similar, I also had a momentary illusion before, but after careful observation, I found that in fact, the two are not very similar in appearance. What is similar between them is ... ”
Before Bolt's words were finished, old Griffin Hart immediately picked up his words, and he said excitedly: "Oh, the resemblance is temperament, temperament!" ”
"Yes, sir, temperament. Please don't get excited, let me report back to you in detail. According to my guess, she is supposed to be a witch, and a junior of mine, who also came from the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy. ”
"Oh, that's fresh. I had a serious suspicion that this girl was a person with golden ears of wheat. I thought, could this be the child of the girls who married the golden ears of wheat? Well... It seems to make sense in terms of age. The women of the Golden Ears have never had a talent for mana, and in fact, it was their merchant-like shrewdness and calculating skills that allowed the Griffon Lords to keep the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce west of the Eagle's Nest. ”
"That's right, master, therefore, our interests are greatly maintained by the golden ears of wheat, and now that the Greon family not only has excellent minds and brilliant vision, but also has the ability to manipulate mana in their own hands, we must tightly tie the Greon family to our chariot. Honestly, master, although the golden ears of wheat are the griffin's courtiers, you must also know that loyalty cannot last long without profit. You should be able to see that the old lady is here to be a lobbyist, which shows that the wolf has reached a consensus with Maisui. The old lady's face is not very good these days, you have to hide. ”
"Oh, Bolt, you don't have to worry about Funa's affairs, take care of your own eyeballs!" The old man said angrily, in fact, he was not really angry, but he was just angry that Funa did not marry him back then.
"Oops! Master, Bolt knows your thoughts, and when the time comes, you will promise the old lady some more benefits, and the old lady will be happy. Don't worry about your servant's eyes, if I don't take good care of the old lady, won't I look for death? Bolt actually wanted to ask for credit, but he didn't bring good news, he could only think carefully about it, and he had a good grasp of what his master liked to hear and didn't like to hear.
"You're looking for death right now." Old Griffin Hart quipped.
"Uhhh Bolt was bored with himself, but he could also tell that the master didn't really want his life, so he continued to report: "Mrs. Wolf is very interested in all kinds of knowledge, and has been staying in the library for the past few days, immersed in the ocean of knowledge. ”
"Well, what a nice girl, and if I could, I would like one of my grandchildren to marry her back. Wait, you just said Mrs. Wolfe? ”
"Yes, sir, Mrs. Wolf, I remember that I reported to you earlier, and she is now the wife of Anthony Wolf, the eldest son of the wolf."
"Oh! God, damn running wolf! Why are all good girls born in Zanmir? The old man slapped his chest and questioned Bolt on the table, like an old urchin.
Bolt was helpless, and he didn't know how to comfort his master's regrets, so he had to shrug his shoulders and say: "Eh, master, there have always been many beauties in the Zamir Collar, but our griffin collar girls are not inferior... ”
