"This is...... Black tea from the Kingdom of Fatland?"

Ivan was taken aback. Prominently placed in the cabinet is a row of delicately painted tea cans, clearly marked with the lingua franca he is most familiar with.

"Yes, the finest black tea from the outskirts of East. ”

There was a hint of warmth in Bellia's calm smile like an illusion: "I have lived in the Palan continent for a long time, although I have lived in Arcatia City most of the time, but I have also visited the Kingdom of Phatland. ”

Ivan let out a blank "oh", and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Hmm...... I also like the black tea of the Kingdom of Frankland and I ...... Nale had been to Arcatia City before. ”

He shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be relaxed, and chatted casually with Bellia.

"How does Arcatia City compare to your human cities?" Steward Belia looked at Ivan thoughtfully, motioning for him to sit down. Na'er was already familiar with this tea room, and she had already run to the chair near the window and sat down.

"I think Alcatia City is quite special, and the first time I went there, I was surprised to see those upper neighborhoods. Ivan said as he pondered Bellia's reaction.

"Is Sir traveling to Alcatia City?" Bellia looked a little surprised, "There are not many travelers to the Rebelo Desert, and many humans come to Arcatia City because they don't want to live in human cities, so they go to Arcatia City to escape the old life, but you and Na'er are not like you." ”

It turns out that Belia doesn't know his identity yet, and I'm afraid she doesn't know who Na'er is, she just obeys Daphne's orders.

Na'er, who was sitting across from her, her eyes wide in confusion, obviously not knowing whether to interject at this time.

Ivan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and pondered carefully for a moment. Since Belia didn't know who he was. Maybe try to win Bellia's trust. He quickly gave Na'er a look.

"Hmm...... It could be said to be a trip, but it was not an ordinary trip, in fact, it was Miss Devany Shelling who invited us to go. Miss Devany and I met at Takamo, and she brought with her a book called 'Nyanaru'. ”

That's pretty much the truth. Ivan noticed that Belia's eyes lit up with interest.

“...... Just like me, I also like to study magic. This statement is more or less true. Before going to the Taka Desert Crater. In order to find the answer to Esya's anomalous magic, he and Isha stayed in the city of Idgrasius for several days to study the magic book.

Belia smiled knowingly and nodded slightly.

"If it's convenient—" Ivan deliberately made a look of intent. Is it appropriate to ask Belia to leave this room now?

"Mr. Magician wants to borrow the books here?" Bellia seemed to be trapped, "I also know some human magicians who are interested in the magic of the Feather Clan." I admire the spirit of mages who seek infinite knowledge, whether they are feathers or humans. ”

She seemed to really appreciate magicians. Ivan relieved himself a little and made the right bet. Seeing the black tea of the Kingdom of Fatland in the tea room, he estimated that Belia, as a housekeeper, had a good impression of human beings, and it might be her personal intention to bring Na'er here to drink tea. Besides, she was really good to Na'er.

"It's a pity Miss Devany isn't there. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't ask for her master's permission?" Ivan pretended to be sorry and glanced at Na'er again, "Uh, excuse me, do you know why Miss Devany let Na'er live here?"

I thought that Belia would become alert again because of the question, but she just pursed her lips and smiled, not answering. Pause for a moment. Belia spoke amicably.

"Are you Na'er's brother?"

"Hmm...... Ah, not brother and sister. Ivan took a deep breath. "Nale also loves magic, and we've known each other for a long time. ”

As he said this, he deliberately turned his head to stare at Na'er.

In the first place, the reason why I met Na'er was indeed because of a certain magical item. Nalle has always been interested in magic, just. It wasn't the magic of the Feather Clan, it was the new magic of the humans.

Na'er, who was sitting across from him, seemed to have no idea what he meant, and kept blinking her eyes.

Na'er should be very smart, don't say anything wrong at this time-

"Sister Belia, Na'er. Can I go reading with Brother Ivan?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Na'er suddenly turned her head and grabbed Belia's clothes.

She's just amazing!

Belia didn't seem surprised at all, but she frowned, her eyes drooped, and her expression looked embarrassed.

"As long as Na'er doesn't leave this house, right?" Ivan also took the opportunity to request. You can go anywhere you go to read a book. As long as he can get out of Bellia's sight, he can tell Sù Na'er about the current situation, and then find a way to get out and find the former Queen Judith...... However, the butler is not Sunny after all, and she is not easy to deal with.

"Yes, Na'er has no problem going to other rooms. But...... In fact, there is a rule here, the master's study, the servants are not allowed to clean, we usually do not go to the master's study. Belia shook her fingers hesitantly.

"Why can't the study be cleaned?" Na'er's innocent voice was infectious at the moment.

"The host was worried that we were messing up the study. Belia couldn't help but smile wryly, "After all, there are very important things in the study. ”

"Is it an important book?" Nail's eyes sparkled.

“......”

Although the expression on her face hadn't changed much, she must have struggled right now. It can be seen that she really likes Na'er, and she doesn't want to refuse the request of "Mr. Magician". After nearly a minute of silence, Belia finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I can't help it. Her eyes seemed to be looking at the wayward children, "Well, please come with me, but please don't mess up the master's study." Find a book you want to read and come back. ”

"Great!" Nalle jumped up from her chair in glee.

This time thanks to Na'er.

Ivan thought with some guilt that since coming to the continent of Kadolissa, Na'er had helped him so much that she hadn't even thought about her own safety. Belia took Na'er's hand very cautiously and walked a short distance ahead, glancing at Ivan from time to time out of the corner of her eye. There is no doubt that she has not yet thoroughly believed in these humans.

Walking to an arched wooden door on the second floor, where Belia Jeannal stood beside her, Ivan held his breath when he saw her bracelet flicker. There seemed to be something glowing hidden between her fingers, and the door opened.

"That's a lot of books. Na'er couldn't wait to run inside.

There was a large window opposite the wooden door, and the bookshelves on either side were full of books.

"Can you take all the books, Na'er?"

"Yes, please bring the books you want to read to the tea room. Belia said, glancing at the window. Ivan said yes and ran to the bookshelf near the window.

I see......

Daphne's servants are now resting in the garden. From this window, you can see the large and small circles of flowers, surrounding the delicate wooden pavilion, where servants dressed in light purple clothes sit and drink tea. The garden and the orchard in the distance are guarded. Recently, I don't have to entertain guests, and even the servants and guards have become idle. In order not to arouse Bellia's suspicions, he quickly pulled out a book and stood there with his head down.

On the other side, Na'er also found a relatively thin book to read. Neither of them knew Romesa, and hopefully Belia wouldn't see any flaws. The housekeeper was just left out of the door. After a while, perhaps Na'er couldn't take it anymore, so she put down the book in her hand and glanced at Belia timidly.

Belia waited patiently at the door.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. Belia said softly, "Is five minutes enough?"

Na'er looked at her and then at Ivan in confusion, and Ivan pretended not to hear anything.

“...... It's really attentive. Bellia's eyes changed slightly, "Whether it's the Feather Clan or a human, magicians are always like this. With that, she actually closed the door.

Ivan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Belia would give them time to be alone...... Maybe Belia was sure they wouldn't be able to escape.

She must have been standing outside the door and listening intently to the inside of the room.

There's no better opportunity than that, though. (To be continued......)
