The rough wooden dining table sits on an old striped floor, adjacent to the framed log windows.

Outside, sunlight and breeze continue to seep in through the open window, illuminating the warmth and nature of the men and women sitting on both sides of the table chatting, like a couple who respect each other.

In fact, the two parties play the role of husband and wife in this storybook world.

However, if you consider the words of their conversation at the moment, it is actually more like father and daughter.

"Because I can see some of the usual images here, I feel that something is actually very wrong here, and I have investigated, and those wizards who have been strengthened by their talents generally do not live long. It was weird, and then I tried it deeper and deeper, and I led it out."

In the well-behaved voice, he couldn't hide a burst of joy, as if he felt that he had done something worthy of praise.

In fact, when she blinked her eyes wide enough to look at Mellen now, she did have a hint of anticipation, like a child in desperate need of affirmation.

However, Merlen didn't want to go her way.

"It's amazing." He said, "But there are some risks, why don't you tell me and your mother before you do this?"

"I don't think it's much."

The voice was a little wilted, as if it had been hit.

"You can't rely on your feelings to do things, what if something happens?" Mellen continued to frown.

"Well, I'm sorry......

By this time, Alyssa had become timid, and the appearance of wanting to be praised had become a child who seemed to have done something wrong.

However, Mellen still didn't let her go.

"Apologizing is not the goal, you have to promise that there will be no next time."

His tone was so stern that it even startled Alyssa.

"I promise, don't get angry, okay?"

Seeing the nervous look on her little face, Melen nodded with satisfaction.

Then she began to affirm her gain.

……

In this way, dissatisfaction with Alyssa's reckless behavior is one thing, but more importantly, it is actually because of the slightly different personality she showed from her previous well-behaved appearance.

Normally, when this kind of thing happens, Alyssa will definitely tell Mellen even if she doesn't tell Mrs. Chelsea.

But before that, he didn't get the slightest rumor.

Maybe it's because the little girlfriend in front of him wants to surprise him, and even hopes to get his compliment.

But Melen believes that the influence of blood is the main reason why she did this.

That's why Meren beats her like this.

The purpose is not really to teach her a lesson, but to use his influence on her to suppress her bloodline - in a sense, how much influence this bloodline can exert is closely related to Alyssa's own will.

But on the other hand, her harvest this time is indeed worthy of praise.

Just now, while talking, the book that Melen was holding in his hand would be held close to Alyssa by him from time to time, and then he could feel a certain fear born from the inside out.

If you distance yourself, the mood will turn into happiness.

It tried back and forth several times, but it began to become angry, very spiritual, as if there was a human soul in it. ….

Considering the origin of the storybook, Melen even suspected that it could be Robin Lefali, the self-proclaimed number one alchemist in history, the ancestor of the Raffali family, who had been wiped out by the Shinrikyo.

This suspicion is not unfounded, and the removal of the storybook itself is not mentioned by this Robin, according to Mellen, this Robin's main research direction in his later years is life restart, reincarnation and other life-sustaining fields.

Although he failed in the end, it was only written down.

Perhaps the reason for leaving this storybook was not to benefit the descendants of his Lefali family at all, but to sow the seeds of "rebirth"?

If that's really the case, then Alyssa did

The law is tantamount to removing a hidden danger from this storybook world.

And the soul of an alchemist may be very useful.

But relatively speaking, Mellen attaches more importance to Elisa's performance in this matter.

Whatever the book is, it's obviously not a harmless mascot, and if it's really the alchemist himself, the home field advantage in this storybook world must be very strong.

Now, however, it is not known what Alyssa has done, and it can't do anything other than act as a book......

Mellen was amazed at this.

This strange book is not a fear at all for Alyssa, but a fear.

It was visibly afraid of Alyssa.

It's just that, interestingly, as a client, Alyssa doesn't seem to have any awareness of her own power......

"Is there really no cognition?"

Looking at the red-haired young woman who was smiling because she was complimented, and even happy enough to take the initiative to sit in her arms, Melen suddenly had doubts in her heart.

Is Alyssa reckless or confident in doing this?

This thought only existed for a moment, and was thrown behind by Mellen, after all, in his opinion, Alyssa has always been a well-behaved and honest little girl, although there have been many extreme bad deeds in the past, but now she has long since reformed.

Moreover, the young woman in her arms replied shyly and blushing at this time, how could there be any scheming and doubts?

Instead, it looks appetizing......

Mellen's thoughts are a little different now.

At the beginning, he still adhered to the idea of "breaking up" with the girl after the freshness passed.

However, with several contacts during the beginning of the school year, and continuous daily chatting with the Book of Secret Words, he gradually fell in love with this well-behaved and sensible girl.

Of course, like to like, because of Mrs. Chelsea, Mellen did not want to have a deeper development with her before.

Even if he obtained the permission to reproduce with him, his mind was hesitant and worried.

Until tonight, the Holy Spirit mentioned the plan of salvation that had to do with reproduction, and hinted to Melen that she would persuade Mrs. in this regard......

On the one hand, persuasion is not persuaded, mainly because the appearance of this incident makes Melen seem to have a politically correct buff, or rather, if he is really going to be discovered, he also has a reason to explain this behavior. ….

So now, in the face of temptation, he is not as passive as he used to be.

I couldn't help but hug and kiss me, which made Alyssa's eyes moist and tearful, and the expression on her face was shy and happy, not only did she not resist at all, but she was obviously very happy with Mellen's behavior.

But despite her hands, Mellen didn't do anything too out of the ordinary here tonight.

The main thing is that his current image is not his true self.

Wearing a middle-aged bearded body, if you really do too deep things with a pure girl who is devoted to you, you will always feel very awkward.

……

Being in an otherworldly world, Melen is not the only one who can do it 24 hours a day.

Athena Lesomore, who has been known as a prodigy inside and outside her family since she was a child, has tried to practice a special meditation method in the last two years to achieve the goal of constantly reducing her sleep time.

Because in her opinion, human life is not long, and it is too wasteful to be occupied by sleep for half of the time.

She was a complete genius, no matter what the field, and although she had only been practicing for a short time, she had already practiced it to an extremely deep level.

Although it is not enough for her to completely stop resting, as long as she takes time to take a few breaks during the day, each time for a minute or two, it is enough to maintain sufficient energy.

So tonight, when others fell asleep, she was always busy, and she seemed to be very diligent.

However, if someone sees what she is busy with at the moment, there will definitely be no admiration, only a feeling of eccentricity.

This famous genius young lady in the wizarding world is standing in front of a mirror at the moment, muttering to herself, constantly practicing dialogue with people.

"Yes, I'm sure you must have a big secret, and I'm curious about it, which is why I want to get close to you. But that's not a bad thing for you at all, unless you think your secret will do you harm."

……

"You have many secrets, but more importantly, you have unlimited potential for the future. I love my aunt Juliana, but I would never want to go through what happened to her being forced to marry. So, if I can be your collaborator, it will be very important for me to have a say in the family."

……

"As someone who has personally experienced the events of the Emperor's Battalion, I feel a very familiar aura on the dagger you enchanted, so I think you may have something to do with that mysterious knight, which is why I wanted to get close to you in the first place."

"But now, it's one of the reasons."

"You're excellent, I don't know when I started to have a deep crush on you......

……

Changing words represent different ways to respond.

Mellen's experience last night was rich, but for Athena, everything was simple last night. She was only invited to have dinner with her aunt and "uncle", and then turned her back to her aunt and made a private appointment with her uncle to meet tomorrow morning.

The aim is to talk carefully.

But it's a talk, but it's actually a showdown. ….

Athena understood that the future uncle was already a little impatient with her entanglement.

He wanted to solve his "problem".

So this requires a reasonable word to give him an explanation.

But for Athena, it wasn't just about putting the uncle at ease.

She hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to her uncle to the greatest extent!

"It's best if he can treat me as his own."

In the dimly lit room, the petite girl muttered to herself, staring at her expressionless self in the mirror, her gray eyes glowing with a strange look.

has a special talent since she was a child, so she has long understood the identity of her destiny voter.

It was also because of that talent for predicting danger that Athena was deeply convinced that the Child of Destiny would inevitably come one day and shock the world when others and even the Truth Cult were not convinced of the existence of the Child of Destiny.

It can be said that she has been looking forward to this for more than ten years, understanding it for more than ten years, and even believing in it for more than ten years.

This faith is even deeper than her affection for her family.

Because she is in a group that values interests more than family affection, her innate talent is the only reason for her to stand out and obtain a special status.

So, don't look at the indifferent style that has always been maintained in front of Mellen, in fact, after discovering the suspicion on Mellen, Athena was so excited that she even trembled.

Then, as Mellen's suspicions grew, she made up her mind to get close to him and become his own.

For this reason, even if it is to compete with my aunt, I will not hesitate.

Of course, being his person doesn't mean that he has to be his woman, and Athena didn't actually think about doing it at first, after all, she always thought that she was several sizes smaller than normal women, and she was not attractive to men.

Although there has always been a shortage of suitors since she was a child, in her opinion, these suitors are all for the family behind her.

Until she found out that Mellen's aesthetic was a little different......

Athena then moved her mind.

The best way to approach a person of the opposite sex is of course to climb into his bed and become his woman, and the relationship is not only fast, but also relatively stronger.

But even if you don't consider that Meren may be a child of fate, just seeing him attract to herself is enough to make Athena's heart move-

Mellen is a very attractive person of the opposite sex, and he doesn't look at himself differently because of the family behind him, so if he doesn't marry this kind of person, what kind of person should he marry with?

A guy who isn't interested in her as a person?

That's why she made that kind of unorthodox proposal in front of Melen two days ago.

Of course, this decision was made so casually, mainly because Athena is not a person who yearns too much for marriage and love, and her interest lies in her career, which is a trait that no one else finds except her.

Her idol as a child was Isabella Chelsea, a famous strong woman in the wizarding world, a woman who could lead the family to glory rather than relying on the family's past accumulation. ….

As she grows up, Athena, who realizes what it means to be a Chosen One and a Child of Destiny, becomes more ambitious.

She wants to change the world!

Whether this change is good or bad, or even brings disaster to the world, it is her interest.

Athena didn't really know where this interest came from, maybe she was bored with a lot of things since she was a child, maybe she was born with this trait, but in any case, she was not a peaceful person.

It's just that as a self-aware woman, Athena believes that she has no ability to change the world on her own.

So the child of destiny has become her sustenance and hope......

To put it simply, the combination of beliefs since childhood, the ambition in her heart, and the slightest desire for the opposite sex is the main reason why Athena is determined to get close to Melen.

But even if these reasons are said, it is not enough for the other party to truly accept her and treat her as their own.

Or, Athena felt that if she really wanted to say this, Melen would not believe it, and would not let down her guard against herself.

After all, loyalty takes time and deeds, not words......

But in fact, Athena actually has an idea of how to quickly win Merlen's trust.

It's just this line of thought......

Standing in front of the mirror for a night, Athena's eyes flickered in a hesitant state.

But in the end, she made up her mind.

So the next morning, when she arrived at the agreed park, and when she saw Melun, she handed her a sheepskin scroll.

"It's a slave contract."

Facing Melen's incomprehensible gaze, Athena said expressionlessly, "Sign it, and I will be your slave."
