66. Persuasion
A flash of golden light flashed, and Sylvi came to the main hall of the kingdom's court.
Her father, Fran III, was sitting in his seat, looking at her with a smile.
In just an instant, she had returned to Parisia from that side of the world.
Although she knew that since her mother's departure, Fran III had devoted all her energy to the study of magic, trying to find a way to save his wife.
Ten years have passed, and after countless resources have been stacked, the strength of Fran III has long been unfathomable.
"Father, why did you bring me without saying a word, I still have something to do." Sylvie trotted over to her father and said in a coquettish tone.
"Sylvie, you've had enough, it's been a week, and the princess of the kingdom can't be discouraged." Fran III rubbed her hair indulgently.
"And ......" Fran III looked strange and pointed at Sylvie, "what's the matter with your clothes?"
Sylvie stuck out her tongue and perfunctorily said, "Well, this is a traditional costume somewhere, I think it looks good, so I bought a set too."
"Father, is there something wrong with you calling me suddenly?" Sylvie hurriedly changed the subject.
"Sylvie, from today onwards, I will do my best to train you...... On the magic side. ”
"But, Father, ......" Sylvie was suddenly a little confused.
"I know, Sylvie, I know you've got a lot of magical prowess." Fran III smiled, those deep eyes as if he had seen everything.
"I ......" Sylvie was a little shocked, it turned out that everything about herself had already been seen through, "Then, does my father also know where I just went?" ”
Fran III shook his head: "I don't know, but I can feel that it is a special place, and I almost can't even touch my magic...... Heidi helped me, though. ”
"Mom?"
"Yes, the necklace you wore around your neck was left by your mother. I got in touch with it. ”
"Sylvie." Fran III suddenly said solemnly: "The world will soon change dramatically. You have to grow fast until you can withstand the crisis. ”
Sylvie hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
Fran III said softly: "Last night, I dreamed of your mother, she is not dead, she is still alive."
He paused word by word: "Agen of the Holy See and Cecil of the Magic Council are all dangerous."
……
Sylvie returned to her bedroom and sat down at the table.
In front of her lay a thick hard-shell notebook, and she picked up the pen and wrote:
December 21, fine.
I was called back by my father from the world of Jiangqiao. My father said that he wanted to improve my magical strength.
But he didn't know, it didn't seem that difficult to improve? Just borrow a few magic books from Jiang Qiao...... Oh no, it should be a textbook.
……
Tomorrow the ban on magic will be lifted, and the people of the Holy See will be arrested.
I don't know if I will be able to see Jiangqiao again on weekend nights.
……
"Xiaoqiao, can you help me persuade Ruoxi with your aunt?" Dad Jiang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "We want to take this child out for a walk, travel or something, but she doesn't want to, saying it's for the sake of the same." ”
Jiang Qiao nodded and said, "I'll try it, the key depends on Sister Xi's attitude." ”
……
After the meal, Jiang Qiao, who had eaten a full meal, ran to the yard to tease the cat, but seemed to notice that Chen Luoxia in the living room was staring at the cat in his hand from time to time.
This woman doesn't seem to be very bright? Jiang Qiao didn't care about her and continued to tease the cat.
After a while, Cheng Ruoxi also walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and then squatted down as well.
Jiang Qiao said: "Sister Xi, you have been in a good mood lately."
Cheng Ruoxi closed his eyes and basked in the sun: "You saw it again?"
"Hehe, I was shocked when I saw your parents...... I thought you would cry at least twice, but I didn't expect it to be so calm. ”
Cheng Ruoxi sneered and patted Jiang Qiao: "You treat me as a child, and you still cry ......"
She was in a good mood, recalled with a calm look, and smiled faintly: "When I was a child, I also felt that I would hate them for a lifetime, but every time I saw them, I felt that a life was too short, I think it is more meaningful to express love than hate."
Cheng Ruoxi had a light hidden in her eyes, and she looked at Jiang Qiao: "What do you think?"
Without waiting for Jiang Qiao to speak, she said again: "Forget it, I know you don't feel anything."
……
In the silent and clear sunlight, Jiang Qiao's legs were a little numb when he squatted, so he simply sat down against the wall.
Xiao Hei jumped lightly, jumped on the courtyard wall, and then jumped on the roof, as if flying.
"Sister Xi, are you recovering?" Jiang Qiao asked Cheng Ruoxi, who was basking in the sun.
"Well, it's over, I can eat five big buns in one meal now." Cheng Ruoxi said with a smile.
Jiang Qiao asked tentatively, "Well, why don't you go out with your uncle and aunt?"
Cheng Ruoxi was suddenly stunned, and her smile gradually faded: "Why are you talking about this?"
Jiang Qiao added: "It's nothing, it's just that your uncle and aunt want to take you out to play, how meaningful it is."
Cheng Ruoxi turned his head away and didn't look at Jiang Qiao: "Then, what do you think?"
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "Of course I think it's good to go out for a walk, it's good for your body to recover......
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Ruoxi interrupted him: "Okay...... Then I'll go, I'll go. ”
Jiang Qiao's heart suddenly fluctuated, and he suddenly felt that it was not Cheng Ruoxi's true thoughts.
……
The next day, when they got up early to go to school on Jiangqiao Road and passed through the door of Ruoxi's house, their family of three was just preparing to leave, and their luggage was piled up at the gate of the courtyard.
"Jiangqiao!" Cheng Ruoxi smiled and waved at him, and that smile made Jiang Qiao feel that yesterday's waves were just an illusion.
"Jiangqiao ......" Cheng Ruoxi trotted towards him, "Then I'll let Xiao Hei go to your house, remember to feed it something, don't eat too much!" ”
"Oh," Jiang Qiao nodded, "when are you leaving?"
Cheng Ruoxi looked at the time: "The plane in two hours."
"Have fun." Jiang Qiao congratulated.
"Of course, if you don't say I will." Cheng Ruoxi said.
"Gone." Jiang Qiao walked outside the alley with his schoolbag on his back, Cheng Ruoxi glanced at him and walked home.
Jiang Qiao always felt that she had something to say at that glance, at least something she didn't explain.
But when he thought of this complicated glance, the others were already on the subway to school.
It wasn't until he got home in the evening that he realized that today was December 21.
And Christmas four days later is Cheng Ruoxi's birthday.
Hiss...... Sister Xi must have been sad because of this. Ebashi realized the seriousness of the problem.
He was worried when the door to the bedroom opposite flashed gold, and a faint blue light came through.
A finger tentatively reached out the door, and when she saw that it was okay, Sylvie jumped out of her body.
"Jiangqiao, hello!" Sylvie was very happy and ran to the river bridge.
