Chapter 67: Childhood
Many people think of it as a warm haven, but Colleen doesn't, and in her eyes, home is a symbol of a cage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Colleen had never seen her mother since she was born, and her only memory was of the young woman she had seen in the magical image.
Magical images have many limitations, requiring the magician to inject a large amount of magic power for a certain period of time to maintain, otherwise, the image will disappear forever, very precious, so it is the privilege of the rich, but the collection is also very limited, as for the poor, don't even think about it.
Only a bastard like Chu Shou who didn't know how precious magic power was, would make so many magic images into a book to record the number of what the hell youth points were!
Colleen didn't know why, but since she was a child, the servants of the house were afraid of her, and they would not approach the girl easily unless they had to.
Until one day, Colleen overheard a content from the whispered conversation between two old maids: her mother did not die because of difficult childbirth, but on the night of giving birth to Colleen, a fire broke out in the delivery room for no reason, and no one in the room survived, except for a baby girl......
What a joke! As if it was because of her own reasons that her mother died! The little girl, who had never seen her mother's side, went berserk, cried and roared, and rushed up to beat the two servants.
As a result, Colleen's reputation in the domestic servant world became even worse, and no one was willing to go near the moody master again.
What frightened Colleen even more was that she tried to get close to the flames, only to find that the flames could not hurt her at all - which only showed that the servants were telling the truth, and that the fire that burned her mother might have something to do with her!
The little girl, who was no longer afraid to know the truth, became more withdrawn from then on, and she learned to wrap herself in sharp words to protect her fragile heart.
Perhaps God thought that the little girl was too lonely and pitiful, and after she ran away with a series of portable butlers, her father replaced her with a little girl butler of the same age as her.
This may not be God's arrangement, it is estimated that Colleen's father saw the loneliness and pain of his daughter, so he chose this little housekeeper of the same age.
The housekeeper was very thin and fragile at first, but Colleen soon discovered that the housekeeper was more resilient than the others.
No matter how Colleen mocked and ridiculed the little girl, the other party didn't care, and even with tears in her eyes, she had to get the job done.
Colleen was originally a knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted person, and for such a poor peer, she finally succumbed to her sympathy and slowly stopped embarrassing the other party.
During her time with the housekeeper, Colleen discovered that her peer's life was far more difficult than her ownβin addition to taking care of her master during the day, she also had to undergo intense training in various occupations at night in order to meet the requirements of the Genore family as quickly as possible.
It's no wonder that the housekeeper always looks very haggard every day.
After knowing this, Colleen no longer made things difficult for the little housekeeper, but quietly took care of the other party.
As a result of mutual understanding, Colleen gradually became familiar with the housekeeper and unconsciously formed a friendship.
Colleen learns that the housekeeper's name is Jesse Fern Giessen, a proper name given to her by her father after he brought her back from the Esber Orphanage.
Colleen also learns that Jessie has no relatives, except for a younger sister, and because of this, the little girl's housekeeper will care so much for her sister, working hard every day to earn money to send to the orphanage and make her sister's life better.
Upon learning of this, Colleen quietly spends a portion of her monthly pocket money and asks the HR supervisor to increase Jessefer's honorarium, so that she can improve her quality of life in addition to paying for her sister's living expenses.
Jessefer was later told about it, and Jessefer was very grateful and wanted to repay Colleen's kindness, but Colleen sharply refused.
Far from breaking the relationship between the two teens, this episode only strengthened their friendship.
Thinking back to this, Colleen glanced with gratitude at Jessefer, who was busy taking care of the salute behind her, and it was because of the tolerance and kindness of this partner that her childhood was not dark.
Yes, Colleen and Jessie Fern have parted ways and stepped on the ground in Klemmie, the capital of Fucante.
However, in addition to Colleen and Jessifer, there was another person who came with them, and Colleen couldn't help but look helplessly at the black-haired companion behind her.
"Woo wow! Sure enough, it's Klemi, the richest city in the Lion Continent!" Aite looked quite excited, she looked around with great interest, a little hillbilly, "Uh-huh, um, well, there are a lot of people, much more than the dwarves, it's so lively!"
"Keep up, or you'll get lost." Colleen couldn't help but remind her excited, unreachable companion.
Hearing Colleen's shout, Aite followed with some embarrassment.
"You're not familiar with Klemi, are you?, how are you going to find the person you're looking for?" Colleen suggested to Aite, "I think you need a guide, and I can arrange it for you." β
Because of his wealth and prosperity, Climemi had a lot of people from outside, and a new profession was born, the guide. This is a profession that specializes in providing paid services to outsiders, and it is very profitable at the beginning, but because of the low threshold, with the influx of personnel, there is vicious competition, and the price is also unstable.
Due to the vicious competition, there are many black guides, who will not only find ways to squeeze the money of outsiders, but even seek money and kill people, Colleen because of this, so she decided to arrange a reliable guide for Aite herself - with the power of the Genol family in Klemi, it should not be difficult.
"Hehe, thank you so much for this. Aite did not refuse, changed his previous shrewd image, and smiled honestly to thank him.
"What kind of medicine is this poisonous snake selling?"
"Well, although our family can provide accommodation, I would like you to stay at the hotel. In order to ensure Aite's safety, Colleen reminded, "I will arrange the most comfortable and safe place for you." β
However, the blonde beautiful girl immediately found herself abrupt, and hurriedly defended: "This, it's not that I don't welcome you, it's just, it's just ......"
"Worried about my safety, huh?" Aite asked with a smile as he straightened his glasses.
"Huh?"
"I don't need to argue, I guessed what Colleen was going to do. Aite played with the folding fan in his hand, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Hearing Aite's words, Colleen had a serious expression on her face, and she said slowly: "In this case, I hope that no matter what happens, don't go into the depths, curiosity kills cats, as long as you honestly find someone and take it honestly, Klemi's danger is like a brightly colored poisonous insect, the more beautiful it is, the more poisonous it is." β
From the death of her father and the exposure of the identity of Tankra's alien monster, as Colleen has improved, she has realized that the city she lived in since she was a child is far from being as simple as she seems.
"Got it, don't worry, I'm in control. Aite also replied seriously about his partner's concern. (To be continued.) )
