Chapter 5: The variables that never appeared. She didn't need to waver in her heart...
Vifiya was surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. A sense of incongruity came over her. It was just too much of a coincidence, too many coincidences combined together, for her to ignore it.
It was as if someone was pushing her forward. She needed clues to go home, and the clues were at Alsayin College, where she would come; she needed a magician, and the magician came to her.
She could vaguely feel that what happened in the garden was related to him. The non-existent silver wind grass in the garden and everything she saw before she fell down basically confirmed that he was the Isidore Lepezer, the apprentice of the great magician, whom the magician mentioned.
When I first recalled this memory, I felt confused, as if someone was pulling them together.
Vifiya covered her eyes with her hands. If things went too smoothly, it would be more suspicious.
Seeing Vifiya's movements, Isidore thought she was feeling unwell and was a little flustered for a moment: "Do you still have a headache? I'm sorry, it's all because of me, because of my magic..."
"Sister!" a voice interrupted him.
Vifia pondered Isidore's interrupted words and couldn't help but suspect that he wanted to confess that he was a magician. Thinking about the previous conversation with the magician, Isidore did not want others to know his identity.
In any case, there was no need to make enemies with him for the time being. She needed a magician.
Vifiya put down her hand and looked at Isidore with a gentle look: "I'm fine." Then she turned her head and looked at the visitor.
Stellan glanced past Isidore and walked to Vifia's side. Following Vifia's movements, he helped her sit up. "Sister, we've only been apart for a short time. Why did you go to the garden by yourself and get yourself into this state?"
Vifiya said calmly: "I'm lost."
Stellan suddenly understood, and his every move was in full cooperation. "So that's how it is. My sister has been having nightmares and fainting lately. Why don't we find time to go to church and pray?" He then changed the subject and looked at Isidore across from him, asking curiously, "But sister, who is he?"
Isidore was extremely sensitive to hostility. He clearly sensed Stellan's hidden hostility. It was different from simple malice. It carried a more dangerous atmosphere like the jungle at night. A sudden desire to eliminate this hostility arose in his heart.
The voices in his ears gradually faded away, but once the thoughts appeared, they grew stronger and stronger. The whole world was dark and cold, as if there were only him and the hostility. He only needed to eliminate it, only needed to eliminate it...
"Isidore."
A calm voice echoed in the empty world, and the dark world shattered before his eyes. The damp cold faded away, and Isidore shuddered unconsciously. The bright light and white sheets came into view again. He couldn't help but look up at the source of the voice with hope in his eyes.
She wasn't looking at him, she was talking to someone else, but there she was, saying his name.
"He is Isidore, the man who helped me today."
Even though her eyes were not on him, just by looking at her, he could truly feel the reality.
Isidore's fingers curled slightly unconsciously.
Stellan took in everything in his peripheral vision, his eyes dim and unclear as he said to Isidore, "Thank you for sending my sister to the infirmary. We will send a thank you gift."
After a pause, he smiled at Vifiya: "But sister, there is a start-of-term dinner tonight. I asked the doctor, and you are now in good health. You just need to go back to the dormitory and rest for a while."
After saying that, he had already picked up her luggage and stretched out his hand to her: "I'll take you home, sister."
Vifiya realized that she had indeed stayed here too long, and now was not the right time to ask Isidore about Arnold. She turned back and looked at Isidore: "Thank you, it's nice to meet you today."
Without waiting for Isidore's response, she had already lifted the bed sheet and put her hand on Stellan. Just as she was about to get up, she felt a small force pulling her sleeve.
Vifia's gaze fell back on Isidore, and she felt that Isidore's expression was like that of an abandoned cub.
Vifia quickly dismissed the idea. They had just met, and although they had not been together for a long time, Isidore gave her the feeling of a simple child. Thinking of the fact that he was a magician, she could not help but be more tolerant of him.
"You're a freshman this year too, right?"
"Um."
After getting the answer, the red eyes smiled slightly, and the gems sparkled: "Then, see you at the dinner, Isidore."
Isidore let go of his hand in a daze and said expectantly: "See you at the dinner."
Until Vifiya disappeared from his sight, he lowered his head with eyes full of tenderness and longing, as if responding to her previous words, and whispered: "Vifiya, I am very happy too." See you again.
On the way back to the dormitory, there were more students. Most of them recognized the Caseley siblings and wanted to talk to them, but because of Stellan's silence, it seemed to outsiders that there was something wrong between the siblings, so no one dared to step forward.
Vifiya glanced at Stellan and said, "There was another person who sent me to the infirmary. Can you help me check it out?"
Instead of contacting Arnold secretly, it is better to make this matter public.
In a moment, Vifiya saw the entrance to the East District. Although the academy advocated that nobles and commoners receive education together, the academy could not resist the great nobles who were always unwilling to let their children live with commoners. This resulted in the nobles and commoners living in separate dormitories.
This is the privilege of the great nobles.
Among them, the East District of the female dormitory and the South District of the male dormitory have the best security measures and are also the residence of the children of the nobles.
There is basically no one near the East District, and Vifiya likes this quiet environment very much.
Stellan opened his lips slightly and said, "Sister, that person just now has nothing to do with your goal, right?"
Without waiting for Weifeiya to speak, he continued, "I'll take care of that person's thank-you gift, don't worry about it."
Stellan's face was unusually serious, and for a moment, Vifia swallowed back her rebuttal. She noticed his different look and looked forward to what he would do next with great interest.
Stellan glanced at the knight standing guard at the gate of the East District not far away, handed the luggage to Vifiya, and said with lowered eyes: "Sister, he is very dangerous."
Vifiya took the luggage and looked up: "Yes, I understand."
She turned and headed towards the East District entrance. Stellan's voice came from behind her: "I'll check on the other person."
Vifiya handed her ID to the knight standing guard at the door, and soon walked into the familiar East District. She felt that many different things had happened in this life.
Vifiya went upstairs and found her own room with ease. She looked at the number 6 on the doorplate and was about to open the door when the door of room 7 next door suddenly opened.
Vifiya subconsciously looked towards the door of Room 7, and was genuinely shocked. In her past 16 lives, no one had ever lived in Room 7!
The first floor of the East District is occupied by a female teacher assigned by the academy to solve problems in the East District. There are only 7 rooms on the second floor. Rooms 1 and 5 are occupied by Princess Constance and Earl Spencer's youngest daughter, who enrolled in the previous class.
Every time, except for the room where the three of them stayed, the other rooms on the second floor were empty. After all, there were not many children of the nobles who were of school age.
A young girl walked out of room 7. Her hair and eyes were the color of the blue sky. Although she looked the same age as Vifia, she was surprisingly taller than her.
The girl's naturally curly blue hair was simply tied up in a high ponytail, revealing her beautiful forehead and neck. Seeing Vifiya, she wasn't reserved at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and she smiled boldly. "Before I came, I heard that a young lady would be staying in the East District. Is that Vifiya Kesley?" She paused and said, "Hello, I'm Osa Duodu, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Duodu."
Vifiya felt as if her head was exploding, but she quickly calmed down, put down her luggage, and saluted simply: "Nice to meet you, Miss Osha. I am Vifiya Kesley from the Marquis Kesley Mansion in Seronil."
Osha thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said, "I've heard of you, Miss Vifia. Can I call you Vifia?" She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I've been recuperating in the mansion since I was a child. I don't care about aristocratic etiquette. You can relax a little and don't be restrained."
Without waiting for Vifiya's reply, Osa looked at her with a smile on her face. This kind of look did not make people feel uncomfortable. From the first glance, Osa felt that Vifiya was small, just like the doll her family bought her. "Although it's rude to say this on our first meeting, I like you very much. You can just call me Osa."
Vifiya suppressed her doubts and smiled: "Of course, you can just call me Vifiya."
After a few pleasantries, the two made an appointment to attend the opening dinner together.
Vifiya closed the door, and the smile on her face faded, replaced by doubt and confusion.
Duke Duodu has no daughter, he only has one son - Feric Duodu, who is also the goal set for her by Marquis Seronil.
It is no secret in the Segarot Empire that Duke Duodu's lineage has elven blood, and the blue eyes are the characteristic left by that elf.
Elves advocate freedom, and Duke Dodu does not want his children to be bound by marriage, so he agrees that his children can freely choose their marriage partners. Marquis Ceronil is attracted by the power of the Duke of Dodu's Mansion. Just then, he received the news that the only child of the Duke of Dodu's Mansion will enter Alsayin College, so Marquis Ceronil asked Vifiya to come here.
The Marquis of Ceronil wants her to marry Feric Dodu.
Vifiya clearly remembered that there was only one child in the Duke of Dordu's Mansion, but the Osa who appeared in front of her looked like she was of Dordu blood.
She squatted down by the door, and suddenly a person who had never existed before appeared out of nowhere, making her a little bit at a loss.
Even though this life is very different, Vifiya is happy to see this situation. It is different from the usual situation, so she can collect more information.
But she really couldn't understand why Duke Duodu suddenly had a daughter. Her memory couldn't be wrong.
Although Isidore was also a variable, at least the name Isidore had appeared in her memory.
Osa Dodu, this was the first time she heard this name.
Vifiya lowered her head and clenched her hands. Could her memory really be correct? She couldn't help but doubt whether her past 16 lives were real. Was it just an illusion, a dream called struggle, but the pain of each life was so real.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After a while, when she looked up again, Vifiya's eyes were full of determination. She took a deep breath. She shouldn't waver in her heart. It would not do her any good now.
No matter what, going home is her ultimate goal. Even if unexpected variables arise, she should not waver in her path. All she has to do is keep going, keep going, until she reaches her goal.
Whether it is fantasy or reality, just keep going.
She didn't need to shake her heart.
Vifiya stood up and walked into the room.
Behind her, a faint purple smoke moved as if it had life, appearing and disappearing.
