004 Demon Academy
Allen, who was thinking about it, was pulled back from his thoughts by a sudden shout. A fair-skinned and immature little hand clasped in front of Allen's eyes, and suddenly lost his light.
"Mary, don't make a fuss. ”
"Hmm~ I don't play like this, I guess it every time, and it's not new at all. ”
Letting go of the immature little hand, Alan saw the figure in front of him clearly.
This is a little girl in a pink vest and blue jeans. In terms of age, it is almost ten years old. Judging by the dress, he looks like he is about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The small golden braids slowly drooped, and the silver-white hairpins clasped onto them. A pair of big watery eyes, sparkling and fluttering. After a closer look, I realized that she was actually a purple-eyed girl.
Marie, the recognized second princess of the Minghui Empire. Although her mother was not the queen of the empire, she won the joy of King Mahi because of her grandfather's great achievements on the battlefield. In addition to Queen Andrea, her mother Anita was King Mahi's favorite woman.
"It's not fun! It's not fun! It's not fun! It's not fun at all. Seeing that the 'little game' she had made was not successful, Marie began to mess around. Suddenly remembered something, shook Allen's arm and said, "Why don't we come to play at home?" I know Brother Allen is the best~"
......
Hearing this, Alan was also speechless, he knew Marie when he was very young. At that time, it was to celebrate the breakthrough of the eldest brother Abner to the wizard level, and King Mahi brought Queen Andrea, Princess Mafei, and Little Princess Marie to Alan's house. Probably because of their similar age, only he and Princess Marie can play together. The first time I played the game, it was 'playing house'.
At that time, one of them was five years old and the other was seven years old.
Recalling the original scene, Allen had a wry smile on his face. A few years have passed, and Allen has matured a lot psychologically. But in order to stop the pampered girl from messing around, Alan decided to put down his mind and play with her again, nodding slightly in agreement.
"Okay~Okay~ I can finally play with Brother Alan!" With Alan's consent, Princess Mary instantly jumped up excitedly, took Alan's hand and walked towards the back of the hall. I came to a table with a lot of fruit and started my game.
...
......
.............................................
King Mahi glanced at his daughter Marie, who was hiding in the corner, and the little trick in her heart succeeded. Seeing her getting along with Alan amicably, she suddenly had a smile on her face, picked up the wine glass in her hand, got down from the throne, walked in front of Abt, and said with a laugh: "Brother Ai, you see how happy the children are playing together, let's do one for this." Exposed to the air, Goldtooth winked at Abt with his right eye and raised his glass.
Abt looked left and right, and the eldest son, Abner, stood in front of Princess Mafei with a dragon fruit, his face full of admiration. The second son, Alan, accompanied Princess Marie, was hiding in the corner and playing a game.
Although it was just a casual word, Abt could hear the meaning. As the saying goes, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and he can still see the king's little thoughts.
"Hehe, yes, I want us to fight on the battlefield together and fight for a horse career. Looking back now, isn't it the same as this group of children? They don't have too much selfishness, just for the prosperity and rejuvenation of the country and the nation. ”
In a word, it evoked the infinite reverie of King Mahi. The blood and courage of the past are now swallowed by power and money. lost the pride of the year, and only the affection everywhere remained.
"We're still good brothers, aren't we?" Mahi patted Abt lightly on the shoulder, her eyes fixed on Abt's eyes. A smile appeared on Abt when he turned his head slightly and nodded with a smile.
"Hahahaha, don't mention these unpleasant things. King Mahi patted Abt on the shoulder vigorously and laughed heartily: "I heard that your boy has also reached the appropriate school age, I wonder which famous academy you are going to send him to?"
At the mention of Allen's studies, Abt frowned slightly, and then relaxed his emotions and said: "Where else can I send it, except for the best Demon Spirit Academy in the empire, I really don't worry about sending him too far from home." ”
"Oh?" After receiving the reply, King Mahi made a very surprised expression and laughed and said, "Haha... What a coincidence! My eldest daughter, Maffei, is studying there, and so is your son Abner. I'm going to send my little daughter to school too! If your little son goes too, then it's all going to be a good time!"
Abt didn't say anything more, gave a soft 'um' sound, lowered his head and continued to drink.
The men of the two families talked together, and the two women behind them were not to be outdone. Queen Andrea covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother-in-law, you see how compatible your eldest son is with our Fei'er!
"But no, your Fei'er is really getting more and more beautiful. People say that the eighteenth change of the female college, the more it changes, the better it looks!" Danielle carefully looked at the future daughter-in-law in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the sweeter it became in her heart.
"Oh, I said my mother-in-law, when we were young, we were just for the family relationship, and now it seems that they are really a match made in heaven!" Andrea became more and more mysterious, and she couldn't wait to directly talk about the fate she had cultivated in her previous life.
Hearing the queen's sweet words, Danielle's heart blossomed, and she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it seems that all this is doomed." ”
When the women of the two families praised, a thought came to their hearts at the same time: that is, the sweet love they once had was now wiped out by reality and interests.
And Abner and Mafei, who don't know anything about it, are still indulging in the ignorance of adolescence. The attraction between the opposite sex makes the two people only look at each other and never speak for a long time. The flush on the faces of a pair of young people proves the restlessness in their hearts.
"Ahem... Princess Muffy, which class should you, which class should you be assigned to this year?" as a boy, Abner broke the awkward atmosphere and took the initiative to communicate.
Only then did Muffy return to reality from her longing, and her little red face was raised shyly. Staring into Abner's eyes, he said: "Maybe it's the second class, last year's results were not too ideal, and the score line of the first class was much worse." ”
"Oh. "Abner never cared about the class, he just tried to prove himself. But under the urging of the seeds of love, he bravely said: "It's okay, I'll help you when school starts, let's study together and strive for good grades in the new semester!"
"Uh-huh!" this time Muffy nodded in affirmation, this was not just an empty promise, but a common hope between the two of them.
..........................................
"Brother Allen, are you here to be the head of the house?"
"Uh... I'm afraid I can't. ”
"Why can't it, how can't it. I've wronged myself to be a cook once, so you should be the head of the house, okay~"
"Otherwise, I'll cook!"
"I don't want it! I don't want it! Cooking is a girl's business, how can you let a boy do it!"
"Uh... Alright!"
"Brother Allen, can we continue to do this..."
...
......
Suddenly hearing this sentence, Allen's movements stopped. His eyes stared straight at Princess Marie's face, as if he remembered something......
...........................................
Demon Spirit Mansion Main Hall
Abt held two yellowed scrolls made of sheepskin in his hand, looked at them very carefully, and then put down the scrolls in his hand and said, "Abner, the academy has already given you a notice, and the academy will open in a few days." Go back and pack your things, and as always, don't forget to bring the cheats I gave you. ”
"Yes, father!" Abner took the admission letter from Abt Academy, bowed to his father, and turned back to clean up.
Abt picked up another yellowed scroll, looked up at his youngest son, Alan, and called softly, "Alan."
"Father, I'm here. Alan stooped over and stood in front of Abt, waiting for his father's words.
Abt placed the second yellowed scroll in Alan's hand and instructed, "Alan, it's time for you to go to school, too." I got this notice for you, and I hope that in the future, you can prove that you can study in the Demon Spirit Academy through your own efforts. ”
"There is another one, that is, you are only thirteen years old, and your parents have been by your side since you were a child. Now you have to leave your parents and face the difficulties of learning alone. Don't think that others can help you, everything depends on your own efforts. ”
"Remember! Your future is in your own hands. ”
"Understood, father!" Receiving the admission letter in his father's palm, Allen's heart was much heavier. It stands to reason that a thirteen-year-old is still cynical. But born in a magical family, his life was destined to be extraordinary.
"All right, go back too, go to your own room and prepare the spare things, and let your mother help you. Just as Alan was about to leave, a voice floated behind him: "Don't forget to visit your nurse." ”
............................................
"Nurse~Nurse~"
A soulful call spread throughout the backyard of the Demon Spirit Mansion, and in the easternmost corner, under an inconspicuous eaves stood a delicate and touching woman.
She is the only nurse in this mansion who can make Allen happy - Casey.
Every time he came to the nurse, Allen would have a big smile on his face. But after the elation, suddenly Allen was in a low mood.
"Come, little Alan, tell the nurse what has happened. "Alan was raised by Casey himself, and his every move, even the strength of his breath, could not escape Casey's eyes.
"Woo woo woo ~ ~ Nurse, I'm going to school. Alan, who never showed his emotions in front of his parents, vented in front of the nurse Kathy at this time. Hold the nurse's arm tightly, as if someone wants to separate them.
"Poof-hahahaha... Isn't it a good thing to go to school? It means that little Allen in our family has grown up!" Casey burst into tears and laughed, thinking that someone had bullied Allen, but she didn't expect it to be a matter of going to school.
"But, but I won't see the nurse in the future..."The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable Allen's heart became, and his nose cried bitterly.
Casey pulled Allen's little face, scratched Allen's nose with her slender index finger, and said coquettishly: "Little fool! ”
Hearing the nurse's answer, Alan stopped crying and said seriously, "What you said is true?"
"Look, when did the nurse lie to you!" Casey squeezed Allen's arm again, looking into Allen's eyes with certainty.
"yes~Then I can go to school with peace of mind~" In an instant, Alan seemed to be a different person, bouncing back and forth in front of Casey.
Casey looked at Alan's happy appearance, and her heart was also very happy. However, she knew that she might have really lied...
..........................................
"Grandpa Barlow, I've received my acceptance letter!"
In the endless grassland, trees dot the entire area. The meadows are filled with dazzling flowers, and the fragrance fills the air, giving a sense of being in a fairyland.
A little girl in a pink dress jumps happily in the field. With a yellowed scroll in his hand, he ran straight to a wooden house in the southeast direction.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I have received an admission letter from the Demon Spirit Academy!" Anne happily pushed open the door and handed the yellowed scroll in her palm to the white-bearded old man sitting on the Taishi chair, and said excitedly.
Barlow took the admission letter handed over by Annie, looked at it carefully, and said with a very serious expression: "Annie, you go and pack your things and report to the Demon Spirit Academy in a few days." ”
"Grandpa..."Anne, who was in a high mood, was shocked by Barlow's inexplicable attitude. How could his grandfather, who loved him so much in the past, be like this today.
"Go ahead, and remember to review the techniques I taught you in the past. Barlow continued to grimacing.
"Oh. Anne turned to leave the hut and wept as she walked out of it. She didn't know if she had done something wrong or if she had made her grandfather angry.
Inside the cabin, Barlow wiped away a handful of tears. It's not that he doesn't want to be happy for Anne, it's just that he doesn't want to face the parting scene again.
