In the western suburb of Berger City, a two-story building is drawing a long shadow in the sunset. This building has been renovated recently. The white paste on the wall is emitting a special smell. The plants on the wall pasted by construction in the corner have sprouted.
Anweina walked in a hurry on the street, passing by several townspeople. People nodded to the young girl one after another, smiling. Anweina saluted one by one, and then came to the door of the building.
She took out the key and pushed the door in.
"Mom, I'm back... Why are you here?"
However, as soon as she crossed the threshold, she saw two uninvited guests sitting in front of her desk.
"We asked people in the town about your home."
The man in the two said that he had short gray hair, amber eyes, handsome and young, and looked calm and confident.
"So I took the liberty to come as a guest, hoping I didn't disturb you."
"Where's my mother..."
anweina had a cold war. Although she was aware of it at that time, she didn't expect that they really found themselves.
"She's cooking dinner in the kitchen. Well, it's delicious."
The man smiles. At the same time, anweina glances at the kitchen. She does see her mother singing in a ditty. As always, she puts her heart down and opens the closet and takes out the dinner utensils.
As she and her mother are the only two people who eat at ordinary times, the rest of the tableware needs to be taken from the deep part of the cupboard. Anweina cleans it a little and puts it on the table.
"To introduce myself, I'm Lena Ian gray, and this is Claire. As you can see, we are mages."
As anwena was setting the table, the man, Lena, said to him.
"I know you are mages. I met you in the mansion."
On hearing anweina's response, Lena nodded slightly and looked up and down at the maid she had noticed.
Anweina has long curly golden hair and delicate skin. Her appearance is above the average level in Lena's eyes, but she doesn't have make-up. She is not a maid's dress, but an ordinary coarse cloth dress. To tell the truth, if her long golden hair is not too eye-catching, I'm afraid Lena can't distinguish her from several maids.
He also relied on this feature to inquire in the town.
"I don't seem to have the wrong person."
Lena confirmed, and the other side look at each other, anweina emerald eyes in a flash of hesitation.
"You know alimia, don't you?"
Anweina's hand movement stopped because of Lena's problem. She gently squeezed the edge of the plate, as if tangled for a long time, then sighed and said.
"Yes, I know miss alimea. In fact, I've been responsible for her food and living at home these years."
Taking anwena's plate, Lena puts it firmly on the table.
"What's the matter with her? It's not alimia I know!"
Clare asked. She didn't know why Lena had brought herself to the house, but now it dawned on her.
"It's a long story."
Anwena nibbled her lower lip and didn't go on.
"Oh, anweina, you're back. These two mages came to you specially. I made your favorite chickpea stew."
Her mother just came out of the kitchen with a pot of steaming dishes, and the topic came to an end.
"I'll help you, ma'am."
Lena gently raised his arm, and the master's hand firmly held the pot of stew and settled it firmly in the middle of the table.
"Oh, it's so funny. Thank you so much, anweina. What are you doing? Come and help."
"All right, mom."
Anwei Na Leng Leng, just hurried into the kitchen.
...
although dinner is not a delicacy, it also has a simple delicacy. Several people enjoy the stew. After finishing the table and kitchen, anweina's mother went upstairs to have a rest. When there were only three people, Lena continued to ask.
"I wonder if there's something wrong with alimia and the albioles."
When she heard what Lena said, anweina was a little surprised, with a look of how you know.
"If, according to the tradition of these pure blood mages, alimia wants to marry her brother, then she is now the bride to be and should take good care of her. However, her clothes are obviously not taken care of, and she is very haggard. What's more, the original maid has been replaced, which is not normal."
Lena's eyes fell on anweina, which made the little girl, who was less than 20 years old, feel like being watched by wild animals.
"How do you know I was replaced...
" you just told me. "
Lena shrugged and awena was stunned, he continued."I think you should still care about alimia, otherwise you can't be touched when you hear her name. You know, among so many maids, you were the only one who wavered at that time."
"I'm so obvious?"
Anweina nibbled her finger. To be honest, she couldn't cope with her opponent in this kind of conversation.
"So, anwena, if you could tell me about alimia and the albioles, I might be able to help her."
Lenaton good lure, anweina fell into silence.
After a long time, in the flickering candlelight, anweina said slowly.
"In fact, miss alimia is an illegitimate daughter."
"Illegitimate daughter?"
Claire almost spewed out half of her tea. Her eyes widened and her face was unbelievable.
"In fact, master albiolay had three wives. The first wife gave birth to master Edward and miss Isis, the second wife gave birth to miss Margaret, and the third was Miss alimea's mother."
She explained, with a deep melancholy look on her face.
"But miss alimea's father is not Lord albiole. Not long after Miss alimea was born, her mother was accused of having an affair with other men. Later, she was imprisoned in the tower until she died. Later, she was not buried in the family cemetery, but in the public cemetery with other people in the town."
"Therefore, alimia's position in the family has been very embarrassing since she was a child, and even the people of the albioles despise her..."
Lena infers that he didn't expect that there was such a secret in it, so it seems that alimia's life at home in the future is not very good.
"That's right. Miss alimea always thinks that her mother has betrayed the family and feels inferior about her identity. Maybe that's why she wants to stay here."
She added with a sigh, rather helpless.
