The Romantic Life of a Goblin

In fact, Cecilia was just the second daughter of a border baron, born to his second wife.

She had no qualifications to inherit the family title, nor did she have any special skills or talents.

Furthermore, she had virtually no property to her name, which made her position in aristocratic society seem insignificant.

Therefore, at parties, you can often see the following scenes:

A certain noblewoman, with a disdainful smile, held up a glass of precious golden wine and deliberately showed off to Cecilia:

"Oh, my dear Cecilia. This is golden wine from the Earldom of Redwyne on the Arbor! It's so rare! You must have never tasted it before? I bet you have never tried it! Hahahahaha..."

Faced with such humiliation, Cecilia's face turned red with anger, but she could not refute and could only endure it silently.

So much so that Elvira, the trainee priest, became Cecilia's capital to show off to others:

"Oh my, did you sprain your ankle? Look, my new maid is a priestess of the temple~, do you need my magic to heal you? Oh hehe~~"

Today's outing was as boring and tiring as usual, and it was already dark when it ended.

Elvira could take Cecilia's carriage back to the monastery dormitory. Along the way, she felt that Cecilia was a little depressed, probably because she was ridiculed and laughed at again today.

The weather was getting warmer and the college vacation was coming soon. Elvira knew that once they had free time, such gatherings of young nobles would become more frequent, and Cecilia would need to be more alert to deal with them.

Sometimes Elvira felt that this noble lady was quite pitiful. She was so strong-willed, yet was always excluded by other noble ladies.

She had to face the intrigues and jealousies of those ladies every day, and her life was really hard.

However, no matter what, she was much better off than a commoner like her. At least her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all high-end goods. Unlike her, in order to save the living expenses sent by her mother, her clothes were all patched. When they arrived at the dormitory door, Elvira said goodbye to Cecilia.

When she returned to her room, there was a knock on the door before she lay down to rest. It was the nun in the monastery who brought her a letter.

The letter was delivered by the Adventurer's Guild, which was also a business of the Adventurer's Guild spread all over the country. The remittance Elvira received before was also delivered in this way. The mailing address was her hometown, but it was not sent by her mother. When she opened the letter, she found that the sender was actually the landlord, Uncle Carter.

"Dear Elvira,

I'm sorry to bother you. I know you must be very busy now, but there is something I have to tell you.

Your mother is missing!

I'm worried about her. We've been looking everywhere for her but haven't found any trace of her. Someone told me that they saw her walk deep into the forest and never came out again. Others said that they saw some goblins moving around in the forest. I don't know if these rumors are true, but I hope you can come back soon to help us find your mother.

Please come back as soon as possible, we need your help."

After reading the letter, Elvira was stunned. Her mother was missing, and some witnesses said she might have been captured by goblins in the forest. This was a complete bolt from the blue. How could this happen? Why did her mother run into the forest? How could she encounter monsters like goblins? Was the news accurate?

Elvira's heart was full of doubts and worries. She didn't know what to do, and could only pray silently that her mother was safe. She decided to take leave as soon as possible and go home to find her mother's whereabouts in person. No matter what, she must find her mother and let her return safely.

For a moment, Elvira was anxious, and felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand. Her mother was her only relative in the world! The mother and daughter had depended on each other for so many years. Although their lives were not rich, they were full of laughter and joy. At the beginning, her mother saved money to work as a waitress in a tavern, and finally managed to collect enough money for her to go to school in the capital. She had thought that she would go home to reunite with her mother after she finished her studies, but who would have thought that such an accident would happen. Thinking of this, Elvira's tears rolled down like a flood, and her heart was filled with grief. She packed her luggage without hesitation and decided to leave for home as soon as the next day dawned. After the nuns in the monastery learned about this, they came to comfort her and called everyone to pray for her mother together. On weekdays, Elvira was kind and sincere, so she was very popular. At this moment, someone enthusiastically gave her advice, "Since she was captured by the goblins, her life should not be in danger for the time being. When you go back, you can find some brave adventurers or experienced hunters to help you. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope to save your mother."

Another person: "That's true. Previously, a priestess sister's companion was trapped in a goblin nest when she was an adventurer. Fortunately, a silver-level expert helped to destroy the goblin nest and rescued her companion."

Another person said: "Ah, I know her. She seems to have reached the Black Stone level, and she is still working with the Silver Adventurer to defeat Goblins."

Elvira also felt that what they said made sense. She could not do anything alone. If she wanted to conduct a search and rescue operation, she really needed to hire adventurers or hunters.

However, this is not cheap. I haven't used the tuition money my mother sent me last time, but if I want to hire high-level adventurers, this money may not be enough.

When Elvira was in a dilemma, she suddenly thought of Cecilia. Although this lady was not very wealthy in the aristocratic circle, this level of funding was completely insignificant to her.

Recently, although the two were in an employer-employee relationship, they got along quite well, and Cecilia took good care of her.

Elvira planned to go to her early tomorrow morning to beg her to borrow some money temporarily, and then she could repay it with the salary she earned as a maid.

But he had no collateral, and he didn't know whether Cecilia would agree.

The young trainee priest was confused for a moment.
