29. Ash's profession
"Sister. "Lycia rarely calls Sister Ash.
Ever since her mother's death, Ash has been slow to respond to anything, as if her five senses were dull.
"Clothes. Ash held out her hand, looking for her without looking at Lycia.
"Can you try it and see if it's the right size?" Lycia handed Ash the custom-made outfit to Ash and made it to the table.
At his father's pleading, Ash was offered a job.
Work as a librarian in the Royal Library.
"Why did you come back and stay in school, and maintain good relations with your classmates, especially the children of the Thiel and Duo Chin families, didn't you have a good relationship before?"
"Father, I have a good relationship with Viscount Fudomi and Duke Troy now. Lycia's hand rested in the side pocket of her skirt, touching her new weapon, the silver undead thorn she had picked a week ago, which was now so soft that it didn't prickle her hand at all.
"Viscount?" Mixiu thought for a moment, frowning. "Make a good relationship with the Duke of Troy, if you can marry him, that's the best. ”
Lycia thought for a moment about the Duke of Troy's amorous attitude towards every girl, and shook her head.
"What?," Mishu pulled Ash, who was sitting next to her, a hand. "If you don't want to, then introduce your sister to him. ”
Ash struggled. "Who's going to want me to be a waster. She roared loudly, like crazy, and broke free.
Duke Misho shook his hand and glared at Ash as he rushed upstairs.
He looked at Lycia with a pleasant face.
"Well, with your intelligence and appearance, not to mention the Duke of Troy, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fall for you. Mi Xiu stroked his beard. "As beautiful as your mother. ”
Lycia thought it was strange that her father had never complimented her mother on her appearance, and Lucica was not known for her beauty.
"Father, who has visited you since you were suspended?" Lycia asked, abruptly.
Michaeu Campbell picked up a newspaper on the table. "What are you asking for?"
Lycia wasn't going to tell Michau that she had already expressed her heart to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Many people in the school don't treat me as well as they used to, and there are many minor aristocrats who take the opportunity to befriend me, so. She put her hands together on the table, and the maid standing next to her brought a bowl of soup in front of her, and helped her lay out a napkin and spoon.
"So I want to tell what I can make of, Dad, I have to have some real friends. Lycia picked up the spoon, lowered her head, pretended to be depressed, and took a sip of the soup, which she almost never called Daddy, so she felt a little uncomfortable when she finished speaking.
Apparently Duke Michaeu was very pleased with this, and he nodded, and handed the newspaper he had just received to the valet standing aside. "Eat first, and then go to the study with me later, and I'll slowly hand over some family affairs to you." ”
Lycia looked up, surprised, though she did.
"Thank you, Dad. The second time she shouted more skillfully, and then observed that Duke Michau's favorability had risen to thirty percent.
*
Den.
Lycia sat across a desk across her desk as if she were being interviewed.
Wait for his father to dig out a wad of paper in a drawer.
Duke Michau held the quill, then dipped it in ink, drawing several circles on each piece of paper.
Then it was handed to Lycia.
"You remember these surnames first, all of us Campbell family from the founding of the Thorn Empire until now, and have had in-laws. Michaeu inserted the quill back into place. "The rest are the nobles I made friends with when I was in office. ”
"Well, I know a girl from the Hisoka. Lycia looked at it and analyzed.
"There are also some that don't have titles, so you don't need to look at them. ”
Lycia remembered many names, and the final list Michau did not let her take with her.
So after she left the study, she wrote down the name that she could still remember as quickly as possible.
'Go to school tomorrow night and discuss it with Dimitoli. Lycia thought to herself.
Putting the note in the inside pocket of the dress she was going to wear tomorrow, Lycia planned to meet her sister Ash again.
She walked out of the room and turned left, then walked down a corridor to the door of Ash's bedroom.
"Who. Ash's voice came from inside the door, still lifeless.
"Ash, it's me. I got you some food, you didn't eat just now. Lycia had a cage of cookies in her hand, which she didn't like to eat, but Ash loved it.
"I don't need you to have pity on me!" said Ahira as she opened the door.
"Sure, I know, but you're hungry now. Lycia shoved the cookie into Ashland's arms. "You don't need to go toe-for-tat with me, even if I can't inherit the title, you can't, it's not as good as me to change to a distant relative I don't know. ”
Ash didn't smash the cookie on the ground, which was an improvement.
And above her head is an empty bar of favorability.
"At least I'm going to have to be constrained by, um, words. Lycia pushed the half-open door wider. "Don't stand in the doorway, Ash, go in and talk. ”
Ash's favorability actually increased by a point, which Lycia didn't expect, could it be that Ash likes others to be unkind to her?
"What do you want to say?" Ash still looked puffed, but it was better than losing his soul.
Lycia decided not to ask Ash about her mother's unexpected death.
"You're about to go to the Royal Library. "The Royal Library is a short distance from the Praetorian Guard barracks. "You're going to be there every day, aren't you?"
Before Lycia could finish speaking, Ash became a little impatient. "Yes, except, of course, a ten-day holiday. ”
"Do me a favor, the nobles leave work earlier than ordinary people, and earlier than the librarian, and I want you to observe which intersection Count Ascha will take when he leaves. "Lycia and Ash both know Count Ascha, although he doesn't come to the house often, but since he won the first place in the Warrior Contest the year before, Ash must know him, and this is the first person Lycia wants to visit.
Relationship with his father is average.,But it's classified as a trustworthy person by your father.。
Ash was stunned. "Ascha already has a family. Apparently her sister had thought of something else.
"I know, I'm not trying to seduce him. I want to thank him, I heard that he did something to keep my father from being dismissed. If our family encounters any difficulties in the future, he will definitely help. "Of course, this reason is nonsense.
However, Ash, the eldest lady who was raised in the boudoir, used to attend the lady's tea party with her mother every day, and she only had the latest hat in her head and a married person, so she believed it at once.
"Just this time, for the Campbell's sake. Ash nodded, then took out a cookie and took a bite, which went up two more points with his favorability.
