As soon as you enter the door.

Butler Falk Rodney's eyes lit up when he saw Vega's figure.

He saluted to Vega like an old gentleman, "Little brother, I went to the Central School early in the morning to look for you, but I was told that you have left the military school, so I can find you easily. ”

"Looking for me?" Wonder flashed in Vega's eyes.

Butler Fokker Rodney nodded and said, "On the orders of Miss, I came to invite you to the Rodney Business Family's dinner tonight. By the way, Mademoiselle has asked me to tell you not to forget what I agreed to last time. ”

Vega suddenly realized.

Qi Lisi is ready to push him to the front of the screen as a golden sign, I don't know if he will have a nominal fiancée after tonight. Getting engaged to a 12-year-old child like him, if this spreads, Qi Lisi is afraid that she will be stigmatized as a scheming girl.

"Little brother, please forgive me for taking the plunge. ”

The butler Falk interrupted Vega's thoughts: "What agreement have you made with Miss? If it is convenient, please let me know, after all, I also grew up watching Miss, and I am still quite concerned about Miss's affairs." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Vega smiled slightly, he remembered that Phyllis had instructed that the butler Falk was someone close to his father, even if this agreement would be known tonight, he couldn't let Falk know in advance now.

"I'm sorry, but I was presumptuous. ”

The butler Falk didn't mind, he made a gesture of please: "The carriage is ready, and the little brother is invited to move to Rodney Manor, I think Mademoiselle can't wait to see you." ”

"Let's put this matter aside. ”

Vega pointed to the 'Tricky Shadow' and said, "I want to buy this third-order shadow magic, but it only has 10,000 gold coins, and even if I add the loan, there is still a gap of 10,000 gold coins, so I want the housekeeper to do me a favor and reserve a period of time, and then come and buy it when I have enough gold coins." ”

"Don't bother. ”

The butler Falk had a straight face, then turned to the store manager and said, "This gentleman is Miss Qi Lisi's distinguished guest and an important guest of our Rodney Chamber of Commerce, so let's give this gentleman a discount at the price of a high-level VIP." ”

"Yes, Lord Falk. ”

The store manager wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and said to Vega: "High-level VIPs can enjoy a 5% discount on goods, and you only need to pay 15,000 gold coins to take away this third-order magic." ”

"Please help me with the loan process. ”

Vega showed his officer's certificate and pulled out a bill worth 10,000 gold coins.

After completing the formalities, Vega got his wish and obtained the third-order shadow magic 'Trick Shadow', as long as he learned this magic, it means that he can withstand 5 attacks without dying at full state.

"Little brother, is there anything else?" Falk urged again.

Vega took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "Butler Falk don't be impatient, the dinner party will probably start in the evening, you see it's not yet 12 o'clock at noon, can you prepare a quiet room for me and wait for me for six hours?"

This time, even Fokker was a little impatient.

However, as a housekeeper, he would not show it no matter what: "Little brother, the cultivation of this magic cannot be completed overnight, why rush for a while, why don't we go and meet the young lady first?"

"There's no urgency in this matter, you better prepare a quiet room for me first. Vega didn't budge.

In desperation, Falk had no choice but to ask the store manager to prepare a room for Vega.

After all, Vega doesn't go, he can't force others to go, not to mention the relationship between Qi Lisi, even the status of an elite section officer is enough for him to be afraid of, but in his heart he has already equated Vega with an idiot.

As a wind mage.

Of course, Faucer knows how difficult it is to learn magic, he is quite talented, and he has also studied a magic for a year and a half, and Vega actually plans to use 6 hours to master a magic, this is not a fool to say what a dream is.

Ignoring Falk's gaze.

Vega walked into the room alone, locked it and began to learn magic, in Vega's opinion, such life-saving magic must be learned as soon as possible.

————

17:00 in the evening.

The countdown to the banquet at Rodney Manor begins.

This time, the dinner invited five of the top ten business families in the imperial capital who were friends with the Rodney Chamber of Commerce, and their main purpose was to help Qi Lisi find a marriage partner, and it would be better if Qi Lisi could be sold for a high price.

As the example of the mage Yves came first.

In the eyes of Rodney's patriarch, Layton Rodney, his daughter Habitat is worth the value of a mage.

Knock Knock Knock –

Leighton Rodney put on a fatherly face as he knocked on Killis's door.

"Father. ”

Dressed in a gorgeous evening gown and like a princess, she opened the door and greeted Layton.

"No need to be polite. ”

Leighton smiled kindly, and then said: "The banquet will start in another hour and a half, I just came to see how you are prepared, tonight's banquet will ask you to behave well, you are the pride of your father." ”

"I know my father. A hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes.

Layton laughed twice and said, "The Portland family has been allied with us for many years, but their patriarch is seriously ill and may not live long. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has also decided to be inherited by the eldest son, Cologne Portland, the alliance between our two families cannot be broken, you will invite Cologne to dance tonight, and I will also take the opportunity to convey the news of your engagement, you should prepare in advance. ”

"Father, you know that my body can't be in contact with others......

"For the sake of the family, let's be patient a little. ”

After Layton finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and paused when he reached the threshold: "Don't forget, you are a member of the Rodney family, you have the blood of your ancestors in your body, for the glory of the family, please continue to be patient after you get married." ”

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

And Qi Lisi's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and she lay on the bed and cried bitterly.

Knowing her mental illness.

Touching hands is already the limit of her patience, not to mention the need to put your arms around each other's waists and dance a twenty-minute social dance, which is no less than a torture for her.

Why?

Why ignore her pain and let her endure inhuman torture, even for the rest of her life?

For the glory of the family, for the future of the family?

If the future of the Rodney family needs to be pinned on her, a 17-year-old girl, then such a damn family, let it live into history with pitiful glory.

After weeping, she sat back down at the dresser and put on a delicate make-up for herself.

She smiled upside down and said to herself, "Glory, faith, Father, you forced all this, I will take everything from the Rodney family, I want you to know-"

"Your faith is vulnerable. ”
