Ludwig didn't think he was clever enough to underestimate anyone, so he got up from the couch as soon as Lucia entered the reception room and bowed to the petite host. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But after that, Ludwig didn't know what to do, he didn't know the petite girl in front of him, he didn't even know her name, so he could only stand there in embarrassment.

Lucia didn't look at Ludwig, her gaze went directly to Ludwig, and drifted to the little girl behind Ludwig, and the other older girl next to the girl.

It must be stated here in advance that Lucia does not have a penchant for bullying children, and in her opinion, although the tears of girls are pitiful, they are far less charming than happy smiles, but even so, when she sees Victoria like a rabbit, she can't help but have a thought, 'This child is definitely fun to bully'.

Victoria, frightened by the moving puppet, saw Lucia's eyes light up when she saw Lucia enter the room, and she let go of the hand that grabbed Kate, and by the time Kate noticed the anomaly and wanted to hold Victoria, it was too late.

Like a rabbit in the grass, Victoria deftly bypassed Ludwig and the table, chair and couch, and then hugged Lucia as Ludwig and Kate watched in alarm.

The scene was very quiet for a while, Ludwig was afraid that Victoria would anger the unknown girl or the fearless mountain prince because of his disrespect, and Kate was surprised that the shy and fearful Victoria would take the initiative to get close to strangers.

Lucia, who was attacked by the bunny, was also stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses and affectionately touched Victoria's little head.

It is said that children are more sensitive than adults and can perceive things that are difficult for adults to perceive, but this does not seem entirely false. ”

Because Lucia raised her hand, the originally tight robe was lifted, and Victoria noticed it and simply got into Lucia's arms and hid herself in Lucia's robe.

Wouldn't mind Victoria's behavior, Lucia continued to comment proudly.

"Being able to spot me at a glance is the most powerful person in this castle, such observation ability, such discernment ability, this child will definitely become a great person in the future. ”

At first glance, this sounds a bit of a truth, but Charlotte is 100% sure that Victoria chose Lucia not because she saw something, but simply because Lucia looked like a young lady of her own age, which made Victoria feel doubly affectionate.

Lucia sat down with Victoria in her arms, she wanted to put on a majestic look, but Victoria in her arms really didn't make the scene majestic, but had a child's play with the children.

"I am the owner of this castle, Lucia Leviathan. ”

At first, it was normal to reveal his identity, but Ludwig was keenly aware that Lucia and Osa had the same surname, which made him habitually guess about the relationship between the two, such as the common blood relationship between sisters and relatives. Obviously, no matter how much Ludwig guessed, it would be difficult to guess the real situation.

"I've heard Einstein tell you what happened. ”

Lucia said straight to the point.

"It's okay for you to live in my castle for the time being, but my castle is not a charity, not everyone will accept it, and if you want to live, you have to pass a series of trials that we have passed down from the primeval times. ”

Of course, nothing has been handed down, and Lucia is just picking up interesting things and talking nonsense.

Narrowing her eyes appropriately and lowering her voice, Lucia said in a voice that she thought she was very pretentious, but in fact she wanted to be as cute as a child and an adult.

"These trials are extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life, even so, do you want to participate in them?"

Although the voice is cute, the content really scares Ludwig. As early as when he climbed the Osores, Ludwig was vaguely aware that this time things might not go well, and he also anticipated all kinds of dangers and difficulties that might arise. It can be said that Lucia's statement did not make Ludwig suspicious, but gave him a sense of relief that 'it was so'.

Ludwig looked at Victoria, who was cowering in Lucia's arms, and then at Kate, who looked worried and withdrawn beside him. Gritting his teeth, he finally nodded.

"I agree. ”

Vitoliga's grandfather, the former Knight Chief of Heberis, Hancock King, died to protect the people he had sworn to protect, whether out of respect for the hero or out of the care that the elders should have for their juniors.

As if she didn't expect Ludwig to respond so simply, Lucia frowned slightly, looking like she was scrutinizing Ludwig.

This scrutiny continued for a moment, and just as Ludwig began to think that he had said the wrong thing, Lucia suddenly clapped softly.

"Very well, you passed the trial. ”

This apparently confused Ludwig, and it was not until Victoria applauded that he came to his senses.

“...... I passed the trial, and I passed?"

Of course she didn't pass, and even Lucia herself didn't know what the hell the hell was the trial she had come out of, so how could Ludwig pass it?

At first, Lucia just said this casually, but after being promised by Ludwig, she was dumbfounded, there is no such thing as a trial, do you want Lucia to prepare a journey to spread fire or a goblet of fire or something for Ludwig now? Don't joke, Lucia didn't do such a troublesome thing, so she was immediately overturned by Lucia herself in less than five minutes.

Of course, of course, you can't tell the truth to Ludwig, and you still have to fool what you should fool.

Actually, this trial has only one purpose, and that is to see through your heart. ”

With a mysterious smile, Lucia raised her hand and pointed to Ludwig's heart.

"My heart?"

Ludwig looked puzzled as Lucia moved, and covered his heart with his palm.

"Yes, your heart. If you don't have a strong, brave, fair, and merciful heart, then Einstein will cut off your head the moment you show your ugliness, on the contrary, if you show the good side, then it is equivalent to passing the test. ”

With that, Lucia turned her gaze to Einstein, and her seemingly featureless gesture was actually suggesting that Einstein was following her words.
