The box was wrapped in a layer of golden silk. Lia lifted the golden silk and looked at the exquisite pendant lying quietly under the gift box with a puzzled expression.
The pendant features a large, magnificent diamond at its center, surrounded by matching black gemstones.
Beneath the pendant, there appears to be a handwritten letter.
——
“I am very sorry, Miss Leah Clavner, I feel extremely guilty for my rudeness.”
Although your dissatisfaction was caused by Jess Reiser's unauthorized actions, I am also absolutely at fault.
I wish to express my deepest respect to you, and offer this as a gift to apologize.
— Albany Saul.
Under the sunlight, the envelope seemed to gleam, and Lia gave a cold laugh.
"Tsk tsk, everyone says this prince is a perfect man, I wonder how many young girls he's hooked up with using these methods."
"Unfortunately, I'm not buying it."
The exquisite pendant looked extremely valuable, and Lia picked it up and tossed it to the maid next to her.
"This thing, we need to find a mage to re-engrave a few magic arrays... Oh, no need, we have a mage in our own family."
"Anyway, just change its appearance and then put it up for auction."
"Why wouldn't I take money from a fool?"
After this incident, she didn't even want to sleep.
He stretched, seemingly pleased with himself for having just earned a large sum of money.
She really wanted to share this as a joke, but who would she share it with...
Lia already has someone in mind.
"Where is Viktor now?"
"Miss Liya, the head of the family is in the garden."
garden?
That place is now Kokot's territory, because only a lazy elf like her would choose to live in the garden.
Lia stood up and waved her hand.
"You go and rest, I'll go and take a look myself."
...
"You...you stay away!"
Koko clung tightly to the cloud beneath him, retreating in fear until half of the cloud sank into the flowerbed without him even noticing.
She was terrified, so terrified that to outsiders it looked as if she were about to be violated.
And Viktor was standing right in front of her.
Finally, Cocotte's voice rang out again.
"I will absolutely not become your teaching assistant!"
"Don't even think about making me work for you every day!"
Viktor looked at her and said calmly:
“The academy’s exams are in a few days, and I need your magic to create some space.”
Kokot is a fourth-tier mage with enough magic power to create some small-scale spatial magic.
She is very skilled in spatial magic, after all, she initially learned this magic simply to create a good sleeping environment.
Over time, he became more and more proficient in using spatial magic.
"So what? If I were your teaching assistant, wouldn't I be working for you every day?"
As soon as Coco finished speaking, a contract was placed in front of her.
Leah appeared beside Victor at some point, smiling as she spoke:
"Miss Cocotte, don't forget the contract you signed."
"According to the contract, you are obligated to help the Clavner family if they need any assistance."
Cocotte's eyes widened.
"Whoa! What do you mean?!"
But a contract is a contract, and once she signed this magical treaty, she couldn't go back on her word.
Viktor then said calmly.
"Actually, you only need to work for me for a few days."
"After the exams, the college will have a holiday, and you will have time to rest."
Cocotte blinked.
"Really?"
"real."
She completely ignored Lia, who was trying not to laugh, and nodded frantically like a rattle-drum.
"You said it yourself! I won't have to work after this is over!"
"Call me if anything comes up later, I'm going to sleep!"
Cocotte always felt that the brother and sister had ulterior motives, but since she was living under their roof, she could only silently resist by sleeping.
She sat back on the cloud and drifted away slowly.
She didn't realize it at first.
The college will reopen after the holiday.
This is why Lia was trying not to laugh.
Victor turned to look at Leah:
"What's up?"
"Oh, yes, that's it."
Lia took out the letter, and with a gust of wind, the letter stood upright in front of Victor.
Viktor glanced at it quickly, and a ball of fire set the envelope ablaze.
"Ignore him."
A calm voice rang out, yet it was filled with a sense of complete reassurance that made Liya feel at ease.
Since her own master mage had said so, she naturally wouldn't care anymore.
The envelope slowly burned to ashes and dissipated in the air. Leah shrugged.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, Viktor called her back:
"Drink less alcohol in the future."
"Huh?"
Lia was startled by this instruction and stood there stunned.
A trench coat billowed in front of her; Victor had already turned away, and Leah could only see Victor's departing figure.
Under her gaze, it appeared somewhat dreamlike and hazy.
But Viktor's words still lingered in her ears.
"I won't pick you up every time."
"..."
Lia reached out a hand and touched her face.
My cheeks felt slightly hot.
She didn't dare to look in a mirror, so she quickly lowered her head, not wanting anyone else to see her current posture.
For some reason, I felt a little happy.
Lia seemed to understand why she didn't want to go back.
