The 7th Witch

On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the numb...

Chapter 4: Want to Learn Magic

"We'll see in a month. It'll be right here in a month. Just call my name. Oh, by the way, you won't be afraid to come then, will you?"

Semiris looked at Hulim provocatively.

"I will definitely come. But Semiris, don't be scared away!"

Upon hearing these harsh and stern words, Semiris felt as if she had heard a very funny joke, and she rolled over and over in the air again, holding her stomach.

Hulim's face turned red with shame and she turned away angrily.

Not long after walking, a voice came from far behind.

"Remember, these are seven types of magic, don't get it wrong! Baby! By!!"

Another burst of laughter followed.

Hulim walked even faster.

... ...

... ...

The sky gradually turned crimson.

Hulim's small figure appeared at the door of Haieral's house.

"You came back so late today. Dad almost went to look for you."

Lezelian, who was at the door, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hulim come back, but then he noticed that his little daughter looked a little strange.

"What's wrong, Hulim? What happened?"

Hulim was about to tell her father what had happened today, but when she thought of the hateful face that was laughing at her, she became angry again.

"It's nothing serious, Father. I just met an annoying guy. By the way, Father, do we have any magic books at home?"

"Magic books? Let me see. There are some. They're in Dad's study. There are books about magic on the left shelf..."

"Thank you, Father."

Before Lezelian could finish, Hulim walked towards the house.

Looking at his little daughter's back as she walked away quickly, Lezelian touched his chin.

"Did you have a fight with your friends?"

In Lezelian's eyes, anyone who could be called annoying by such a young child must be someone of the same age.

"Oh, by the way, how many words does Hulim know now..."

Looking at the empty yard, Lezelian shook his head.

"Ask me at dinner."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest outside Ment Town.

"A-choo!"

A fairy with an angelic face rubbed her nose.

"Strange, I feel like someone is disrespecting me? Never mind, let's punish him by making him fall down when he sits on the chair next time."

... ...

The study of the Hailar family.

Hulim moved the stool and came to the bookshelf on the left.

"This one isn't it, this one isn't it either, this one... I got it!"

Just when Hulim was about to pull out the magic book.

"Hulim."

Outside the study, Yamen's voice came.

"It's time for dinner."

The little hand stopped in mid-air, and Hulim turned her head to look at the sky outside. The sky was gradually becoming darker.

Hulim hesitated for a moment. Although they were a knight family of the lower class of the nobility, a country noble family, as a rare hereditary knight, the Hailar family also observed the etiquette of the nobility. According to aristocratic etiquette, unless on special days, young aristocratic children had to stop all activities and prepare for bed after dinner.

"Hulim?"

At this time, mother Lilia's voice sounded outside again.

"Hmm,"

Hulim sighed,

"Come back tomorrow."

The little hand that reached for the magic book was withdrawn.

"I'll be right there, Mother!"

After responding in the study, Hulim wiped the stool clean and moved it back to its original place.

Then he opened the study door and walked out.

When I walked out, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt relieved, and a sense of urgency and anger slowly dissipated.

She stopped and looked back at the study thoughtfully.

There she seemed to see a familiar figure who was angry with someone, and then she understood that it wouldn't work that way, magic wasn't like that.

After standing quietly for a while, Hulim slowly closed the study door.

It was a long time later that Hulim realized that under her mother's call, her heart had accidentally grown. In the future, she was rarely controlled by her emotions, and was able to survive crises again and again.

... ...

Dinner time.

At the Hailar family's dining table, the Hailar family was sitting and praying before the meal.

At the top seat of the long square table sat the current head of the Hyerar family, Knight Lezelian Hyerar.

Sitting on the left, in descending order, were Lezelian's wife Lilia, third daughter Loti, and twin daughters Lumia and Lucia, the fifth and sixth daughters.

On the right, in descending order, were the second son, Reed; the fourth son, Amen; and the youngest daughter, Hulim. Originally, the eldest son, Sieg, should have taken the first seat on the right, but because Sieg had gone to the Imperial Knight Academy for further studies, the others had automatically moved forward one seat.

As for the opposite seat, it is usually for guests and not for family members.

In addition to the Heyeral family, there is also a middle-aged housekeeper Lorenz in his forties, the elderly maid Mrs. Jaeger, and the maid Jessica, who was the daughter of a hotel in Ment Town. Because her hotel did not need so many people, she came to the Heyeral family as a maid. Because of her good cooking skills, Lezelian gave her an extra salary and let her serve as a chef, which saved the cost of hiring a chef.

As servants, they usually do not eat at the same table with their masters. They will eat separately after their masters have finished their meals.
