Chapter 122: Meeting
“...... Big... Miss?!"
The one who came was an old man in his sixties, but the momentum on his body did not decline at all, like an angry lion that had violated his territory, he came violently, but when he saw Alexie's face clearly, his expression changed, and he looked at this magical girl in great surprise, and the anger that originally contained it disappeared at once.

"You ......"
Seeing this old man, Alexie also stopped, and after a little recollection, she remembered the identity of the other party: "... You are Bach Bonnard...... Bach's chief of guard?"
"Yes, I'm Bach, and I hugged you when you were a kid!"
Hearing Alexie's words, the old man seemed a little excited, he walked closer to Alexie, looked the magical girl up and down, and his mouth was a little incoherent with excitement: "... Yes, that's right, you're definitely Miss Miss! I'm sure you're Miss Alexie...... Oh my God! You look so much like Lady Doracena when you were younger!Miss, you can come back...... It's just wonderful!"
Come back?
Hearing the conversation between Alexie and the old man, Xia Yi felt a little inexplicable for a while, but at the same time, it also solved a lot of doubts that had accumulated in his heart before.
This little girl, Alexie, is really the daughter of the lord of this city of Belyanka?
It's just that it sounds like this little girl has been gone for a long time, and even most people in the City Lord's Mansion can't recognize her, and almost regard this magical girl as an intruder?
"Well, it's much easier if anyone else knows who I am. ”
When Alexie said this, she seemed to feel a little relieved, perhaps, when she returned to her home, she actually broke in with magic all the way, which also made this magical girl feel very uncomfortable, right?
However, what made Xia a little puzzled was that it was clear that this little girl had the incomparably convenient magic of teleportation, and it was actually very easy to get in, but this little girl chose to walk in step by step from the main entrance of the castle, which was very different from the little girl she had in her impression of always focusing on completing the ultimate goal and not caring about the process of means.
Ignoring someone's doubts, a magical girl spoke again---
"Bach Captain I... Where's my father?"
Alexie's tone seemed a little hesitant, and she said to the old man, "Please take me to him, I have something important to look for him." ”
"Well... All right, do as you ask, Miss Alexie!"
Hearing Alexie's words, the Bach Captain seemed to think of something, and his emotions became a little excited, but he strangely deliberately suppressed this mood to prevent it from showing it, and he almost couldn't wait to agree to Alexie's request: "Lord Earl, he is now in the garden in the backyard, yes, that's it, do you remember that garden? It's the place you used to play when you were a child, I don't know if you still recognize the way...... Well, yes, you were only three years old at the time, so you shouldn't have much memory...... Please come with me, Miss Alexie!"
The captain of the guard walked in front, and he didn't know if it was because of his age, but he kept saying something about a certain garden, as if he was nostalgic for something.
"Yes, I remember it, Bach Guard, and believe me, I have a good memory!"
Alexie had a different opinion on this, and the magical girl's tone became a little unfamiliar: "Since I was one year old, I remember everything that happened around me! Yes, I remember it clearly, until now!"
“...... I'm sorry, Miss Alexie!"
After hearing this, the chattering old man was unusually silent, and he apologized thoughtlessly, and walked in front of him, and remained silent.
Alexie also stopped talking, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, which made Natsu feel a little depressed.
It's just that for her, who doesn't know anything inside, it is also a very wise choice to remain silent.
......
Along the way, many people found the two girls who followed behind a certain guard master, and, soon, the guards who had been disenchanted by Alexie also hurried over, but before they could understand the situation, they were immediately reprimanded by a certain head of the guard, and the situation was a little chaotic for a while, and similarly, many servants in the castle noticed this scene.
Gradually, the veteran servants who had served the Gerald family for a long time seemed to recognize the identity of a certain magical girl, and they all looked in this direction with puzzled and shocked eyes, whispering, as if they were a little uncertain.
However, a certain girl with keen hearing had overheard a lot of information from the whispers of these servants, and corroborated them with what she already knew, and she almost knew a fact.
That is, the little girl Alex has been away from this castle for a long time, even more than ten years! The servants seemed to have a very young impression of the magical girl, and now these servants were surprised and suspicious only because of the very similar face of the little girl to her mother.
Decade?
This little girl doesn't look like she's about sixteen years old, so she actually left home when she was about five years old?
...... Huh, five?
Not long ago, didn't this little girl say that her mother, Doracena Dio Raldafi, died when she was five years old?
Is there a connection between these two things? Or is there a direct relationship between them?
Under the silence, Natsu's mind raced, constantly speculating about Alex's identity, and she had a distinct feeling that she was finally about to lift the layer of fog that shrouded this little girl.
"How dare you come back?!"
A richly dressed woman appeared in the corridor, she looked at Alexie who came over, her eyes flickered a few times, as if she had finally confirmed the identity of the magical girl, and suddenly, the woman's eyes became very hateful, she stared at Alex directly, her eyes were very complicated.
Well?
Xia looked up and saw that it was a noble woman of noble status, about thirty to forty years old, her appearance was still very beautiful, and it was vague to make people imagine how beautiful she would be when she was young, but this woman was now sitting on a chair similar to a wheelchair, and the position of her legs was empty, as if she was a mutilated doll whose legs had been broken by life, which was shocking.
Standing behind the chair with the wooden wheels was a middle-aged maid who was older than the woman, who also seemed to recognize Alexie's identity, and only glanced at it secretly, and then hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look again.
"Lady Caroline!"
Seeing this woman, the old man who was twice the age of the other party, Bach Bonnard, only bowed slightly and saluted as a sign of respect.
However, the captain of the guard did not receive any response, and the woman, whom he called Lady Caroline, was still staring at Alexie's face with a very ugly expression.
However, in the face of the woman's hateful gaze, Alexie did not look at it, did not glance in the woman's direction at all, did not answer, and continued to look straight ahead. The magical girl walked past the woman as if no one was around, as if she were the other party as transparent and invisible air.
For this scene, someone also kept his doubts in his heart for the time being, and also followed Alex over without squinting.
Seeing this, the woman was so angry that she slapped the handle of the chair and snorted angrily, but she looked helpless.
......
Finally, Bach Bonnard led the two of them to the backyard garden he had spoken of, where a middle-aged man was lying on a chair, as if he were thinking and resting.
However, when he heard the footsteps and opened his eyes to look at him, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up, and at this moment, his eyes were all attracted by Alex like a magnet, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Ai... Alexie?"
This middle-aged man looks very tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his face is handsome and majestic, with sharp edges and corners. But his figure is a little blessed, although he still looks powerful, but obviously lacks the necessary exercise, however, this is also a common problem among the nobles of the kingdom.
Xia looked at the middle-aged man from a distance, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly, she knew that in terms of strength, this Lord Count Gerald was even inferior to the Bach Captain beside her, who was already in his sixties, and it was estimated that this person had long lost his bloody ambition to fight in the comfortable and comfortable life of a luxurious aristocracy.
I have to admit that her first impression of this count was not very good.
"Captain Bach, could you please take my friend down to rest? ”
Alexie stopped outside the garden, looked at Bach Bonnard, and said, "Natsu, I want to talk to my father alone. ”
This last sentence was said by the magical girl who turned her head to her, and the meaning of the words was very obvious.
"Well, I don't care. ”
Xia spread her hands, saying that she had no objection to her arrangement.
She knew that this little girl still had some things she didn't want her to know.
"Well, thank you!"
Alexie's emotions became a little incomprehensible to her, and her tone was very light: "If you really want to know, I'll tell you later." ”
"Done. ”
After nodding, Xia quickly followed the Bach Captain away.
After the two left, the magical girl in a black and purple dress stepped into the garden, and her eyes finally looked at the earl.
"Orlanton Gerald, my ...... Father!"
