Chapter 157: Reunion (Subscription Requested)
Leah looked at Roanord quietly, and suddenly noticed that there was some gray hair on his head at some point, because she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
As the patriarch of the Violet family, Roarnold naturally has a lot to worry about, and this will undoubtedly accelerate his aging.
Roarnold looked at Leah, who was a little strange, and finally showed a faint smile on his face: "Leah, you have really grown up now......"
Leah looked at her body, and then said with a wry smile: "Well, after the blessing ceremony of the goddess of light, I became like this, it seems that my body has been transformed by the light spiritual power, so I will suddenly mature a lot." ”
The aura of silence once again enveloped the two who reunited, and the next moment, Roarnold suddenly said something that Leah didn't expect: "Leah, I'm really sorry. ”
Leah glared in surprise: "Why do you say that......"
"I shouldn't have betrothed you to Ulysses, now that I think about it, it's really a bad decision, as Alvin said, it's better to let this family decline like this than to sacrifice your happiness for the temporary peace of the family, I'm really not a good father. Roanoold said with a bitter expression.
"No, Father, you are not wrong, I can understand your feelings, if it were me, I would not be able to accept the result of the complete decline of the family in my own hands. Leah shook her head vigorously.
"I've figured it out now, if the strength of the family itself is not enough, even if it relies on external forces to maintain the status quo, it is not a long-term solution, and if the family has an excellent leader, even if it has declined, it can still rise again. Roanord said as he walked over to Leah and looked at her with gentle eyes.
"Father's ......"
"I'm really tired now, the current situation of the Violet family is also created because you became a saint, I've already figured it out, after Alvin graduates from school, I will give him the position of patriarch, without the constraints of the patriarch's identity, I can probably be a qualified father without any scruples, and make up for you, right?" Roanoud said as he reached out and gently stroked Leah's hair.
Leah could see that Roarnold was really a little disheartened at this time, so she didn't say anything, just closed her eyes and quietly felt the warmth coming from that big hand.
"Now, it's time to introduce me, right?" Roarnold's expression finally stopped being so gloomy, and he chuckled and looked at Erin beside Leah.
"Father, this is a good friend I met on the sea, and she can be said to have saved my life, otherwise I would probably have lost my way in the sea, so I hope she can stay with me as an exclusive maid. Leah explained Erin's identity to Roarnold.
"Hello uncle, my name is Irene. Erin bowed to Roanord obediently.
Roarnold looked at the soft Erin, nodded and said: "Leah, you also have the ability to be alone now, since you want her to stay by your side, then do what you want, and in the future, you don't have to worry too much about others, live according to your own wishes, I think this is probably the greatest happiness." ”
"I know, I will definitely choose to live in a way that I don't regret myself. Leah replied with a serious face.
"Well, go see your mother, who worries about your safety all the time. Roarnold waved his hand.
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and then Stella, who was excited, rushed into the room.
At this time, she had completely lost her usual elegance, and when she saw Leah, she immediately rushed over excitedly and took Leah into her arms, as if she wanted to be one with her.
"Leah! thank goodness you're finally back, my Leah!" Stella screamed in frustration as she hugged Leah.
"Mommy......" Leah sniffed the familiar scent on Stella's body, couldn't help but reach out and hug her, and rested her head on Stella's chest contentedly, feeling the reassuring soft touch.
"Leah, let me see, you're not hurt, right?" The next moment, Stella let go of Leah and carefully examined her body, and only after confirming that Leah's body was not the slightest scar did she breathe a sigh of relief, but Stella's expression quickly became surprised again.
"Leah...... You ......" Stella looked Leah up and down in disbelief, she couldn't figure out how her daughter could have grown up two or three years in an instant.
"Mother, don't worry, this is the situation that has arisen since I received the blessing of the Goddess of Light, and this change will not hurt me. Leah comforted her softly, and Stella relaxed when she heard her say that.
Erin on the side looked at Leah and Stella, the light in her eyes was a little envious, this scene in front of her reminded her of her mother, although because of her young age, that memory has been a little blurred, but Erin can still vaguely recall the feeling of being coquettish in her mother's arms.
"Mom, this is Irene, my new best friend and my savior. Leah told Stella about herself and Erin again, and after listening to this, Stella first touched Leah's face with some distress, and then turned to look at Erin with a smile.
At this time, Stella had come out of the excitement of reuniting with Leah, and her grace had reappeared.
"Erin, thank you really for everything you have done to Leah, since you have decided to be Leah's exclusive maid, we will not interfere or anything, I just hope that the two of you can continue to get along well. ”
"Well, I'm sure I'll not disappoint Leah. Erin nodded, and then looked at Stella with some distraction, it was the first time she had seen such an elegant and beautiful person, although Leah was also beautiful now, and she had learned to behave elegantly, but compared to Stella, she still looked a lot more immature.
Stella saw Erin's eyes, and with her keen intuition, vaguely guessed her thoughts, she smiled lightly and said softly: "Erin, if you are interested, you can be trained by the etiquette teacher here." ”
"Eh, is it really possible?" Erin's eyes widened in surprise, she was a pirate and had a strong longing for such an elegant gesture of the noble lady.
"Erin, listen to me, that etiquette course is hell at all, and you will regret it if you accept it. As soon as Leah heard that Erin wanted to learn etiquette, she quickly persuaded her, that passage was like a year for Leah, and she didn't want Erin to suffer like that.
"You little one, do you think every girl is as crazy as you?" Stella chuckled and flicked Leah's head, Leah clutched the place where she was shot, and looked at Stella with some resentment.
"I skipped the etiquette class, and now I can be as elegant and attractive as other noble ladies. Leah said unconvinced.
"It's strange to say, you're used to being wild, but you somehow learned those manners......" Stella looked at Leah with a wry smile.
"Do you mean...... Does this have anything to do with my status as a saint? Aren't saints as holy and elegant as angels? Maybe this kind of thing is like instinct for saints. Leah secretly guessed in her mind, and then looked up again.
"Mom, where is my brother now?"
"The Rose Academy officially opened five days ago, and he's now in Minas City. ”
Leah also felt a little regretful when she heard that Alvin was gone, because Alvin had done so much for her, and she didn't hate Alvin so much now, and she also had a feeling of wanting to see him.
"By the way," Leah suddenly remembered something she hadn't said, "Father, please go through the admission procedures for Erin to the Rose Academy as well, we specially tested her talent before we set off from Whit Island, and it should be no problem to enter the Rose Academy with her talent." ”
"Well, leave that to me. Roanoold nodded.
"So......" Leah suddenly showed a big smile, "it's almost time to start the meal now, right?"
Several people present didn't expect Leah to suddenly say such a sentence, they were all in a daze, and the next moment they all laughed out loud.
"Uh......h What's so funny, I haven't eaten at home in a long time, it's normal to be hungry, right?" Leah puffed out her mouth angrily, "And it's almost time to eat now, it's time to eat!"
Although she has become a saint and has matured a lot on the outside, Leah's inside is still that cute snack.
......
Leah and Irene rested in Violet's castle for four days, and on the fifth day, the two of them boarded a magnificent carriage and set out on their journey to Minas City.
In the past four days, Roanord had already asked someone to help Erin complete the admission procedures to the Rose Academy, because Erin's talent certificate was provided by the Holy Spirit Cult, so her admission application was easily approved.
After spending three days in the carriage, Leah finally returned to Minas City once again.
She lay by the window of the carriage, looking at the majestic metropolis from afar, and her heart was full of excitement that she could finally see Evangeline and Joanna again.
"Irene, this is what I told you about Minas City, how about it, it looks much more powerful than I said, right? Now we are still a little far from there, and when we get closer, Minas City will be even more spectacular. Leah turned her head and looked proudly at Erin, who was already a little sluggish.
