“Ah—Ah—”

Lucinda drooled, her little hands clenched around Lilith's fingers, and she spoke to this strange older sister in words that only she could understand.

"She likes you, Lilith." Melissa looked at Lilith's embarrassing situation of wanting to break free but not daring to, and smiled evilly.

"Don't expect me to take care of your child, Melissa... no matter how cute it is." Lilith made a bitter face. The child was much stronger than she thought. He would not let go of anything he grabbed. Lilith did not dare to use force and had to let the little guy hold her and chat. Alas, children are really angels only when they are asleep! !

"Why, you have nothing to do on your holiday," Melissa teased her.

"I want to practice swordplay, I want to practice swordplay, I love sports!" Lilith cried in despair.

"The Knight Commander reported to me that you made great progress. I knew my judgment was correct. I said you were very talented!" Melissa proudly put her hands on her hips, earning a speechless look from Ram beside her.

"Please tell the Knight Commander not to show mercy. I want to learn some powerful skills." Recently, Lilith has been running to the corridor every day, pestering the knights to train with her. Although no one would refuse, they were always gentler to her because she was young.

"Let me guess... You didn't fall in love with swordsmanship all of a sudden." Melissa, who didn't have to be bothered by her children, lazily watched the interaction between her two daughters with her chin in her hand and expressed her guess, "There are annoying guys in school, right? After all, I learned swordsmanship because of an annoying guy who said that no matter how powerful a girl is, she can't beat a man."

"...There is indeed a nasty guy, the one with the last name Russell." Since she was guessed, Lilith admitted it frankly.

"But he's only slightly better than me, just a little bit." Lilith gestured with her other hand, "Sooner or later, I will completely defeat him."

"The Russell family..." Melissa nodded in understanding, then smiled at Lilith, "It seems that you get along well with the princess." Otherwise, she would not have been targeted by the Russell family.

"Catherine..." Lilith thought for a moment, "She's pretty good. I can feel that she has the pressure of carrying heavy responsibilities, but at least she's doing well in school." The Student Union is a good place to practice management skills. Even though Catherine had never been exposed to this concept before, she has been doing well in the past six months after she was forced to do it.

"She should be a good leader." Lilith replied after thinking for a while.

But that wasn’t what Melissa wanted to hear. She smiled and shook her head. “So you two are friends now, right?”

Lilith thought about it and nodded, smiling back, "Well, we are friends now."

"I'm happy for you, Lilith. Campus life is interesting like this, isn't it?" Melissa smiled even more.

"Ahhh..." Lucinda grabbed Lilith's hand and tried to stand up, but failed and her saliva rubbed her arm.

"Hey, you!" Lilith looked disgusted, causing Melissa to laugh, but Lucinda didn't understand at all and smiled at her. Lilith's hands were sweaty from being grabbed by her, and she wanted to wipe them. She suddenly had an idea and silently chanted a spell, summoning a green ball of light, which was the most basic lighting technique.

She swung her arms and the ball of light moved. As expected, Lucinda's attention was drawn. She let go of Lilith's hand and tried to catch the bright light.

"Oh, Lilith, I think you also have a talent for taking care of children." Melissa dared to say anything to avoid being lazy. Ram couldn't help but roll his eyes at his young lady again.

“Don’t bother, Melissa. I won’t be fooled this time.” Lilith pushed the ball of light onto Lucinda’s crawling mat and finally escaped from the clutches of the devil. She stood up and walked out, but was met with a pair of gloomy and hateful eyes, staring at her viciously.

It was James Friar. Lilith was startled. When the other party saw Lilith turned around and looked into his eyes, he said nothing. He seemed to want to maintain superficial peace in front of Melissa. He walked over, passed Lilith, and gently hugged Lucinda.

"It's lunch time, Melissa, and today we have your favorite rib-eye." He said softly, with a humble attitude, as if he was trying to please her. Combined with his handsome face, it was quite deceptive.

Melissa's smile faded when he came in. She just nodded and motioned for Ram to go forward and take the child. Then she took Lilith's arm and left together.

James looked at the glittering green light left on the crawling mat, his eyes dim and his expression unclear. He said nothing and followed Melissa away.

……

"Ms. Lilith."

It was another afternoon. When Lilith caught a young knight to practice with her, she was disturbed by a sudden sound. Lilith subconsciously wanted to turn her head, but the other party immediately knocked her sword away and knocked her to the ground.

"Ah, it's over, it's over. You said you would rest as long as I knock you down." The summer afternoon was like a steamer. The young knight took off the protective gear on his face. His face was flushed with heat, and his hair was as wet as if it had been poured with a basin of water, sticking to his scalp. He let out a long sigh, glad that he was finally free.

Lilith lay on the ground, breathing heavily, and it took her a long time to regain the strength to pound the ground in anger. She turned her head and saw Hoffman standing in the shadow not far away, with that familiar polite smile on his face.

"What's the matter, Mr. Hoffman?" Lilith took off her protective gear and lay there, too lazy to move for a moment.

"I'm sorry to disturb your training, Miss Lilith. However, the Viscount wants to see you for something, so he asked me to invite you to meet him in his study." Hoffman lowered his head respectfully and made a gesture to lead the way.

... Why would Lao Deng take the initiative to look for her? Didn't they treat each other as invisible? Lilith was a little confused.

After thinking about it, she got up, performed a cleansing spell on herself and the knight who was training with her, and followed Hoffman out of the training ground.

After Hoffman led Lilith to the door of the study, he stopped and did not follow her in. Instead, he guarded the door diligently. Lilith glanced at him before knocking on the door and going in.

"Your Excellency." The study was as cool as the other rooms. James was standing in front of the window admiring the garden. When he heard Lilith's voice, he turned around and stared at her silently.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lilith couldn't stand this boring staring and wanted to end it quickly.

So the other party also got straight to the point. James pointed to the side with his chin, and Lilith saw that there were a lot of boxes piled up on one side of the large study. A man in a wizard's robe standing next to the boxes saw Lilith looking over and opened the lid of one of the boxes.

The room was full of light. It was the Philosopher's Stone. What was this...? Lilith looked at her adopted father in confusion.

"These happen every year." James's cold voice came -

"But you have to promise to stay away from my wife and children, and never show up in Tanding County again."
