Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome
Chapter 41 Stargazing Castle
The afternoon rain dripped down, washing the stone walls of the castle. A spire rose from the ground, almost towering into the clouds, looming in the rain, like a mysterious fantasy. This is the highest point in Goletia, occupying a large piece of land to the east of Goletia. The tower has a separate courtyard with two shallow symmetrical ponds surrounded by green plants. This place is actually connected to the main castle by a long mirror corridor, but the students prefer the name given to it alone, calling it the Stargazing Castle. But rather than a castle, it is more like a tower, standing alone in the rain.
Rain flowed down the steep eaves of the tower, forming silver curtains of water, flowing down from the sky, washing the grinning stone frogs in the courtyard, and splashing on the heather next to it. This plant is very common in Gaia. Because it has an unpleasant smell, people think it can repel mosquitoes and insects. Every summer, Mary would buy a cart of it, tie it up in bunches and pile it up at every door and windowsill in the house. Lilith has always hated this plant because it becomes even more smelly when it rains.
——Just like Lilith’s face at the moment.
Asshole Lucas!! This umbrella broke after only being used for the second time!! He will never make a penny from me again!
Lilith got up from her nap and rushed to the divination class, but a strong wind blew and the ribs of her umbrella were broken and the umbrella cloth was torn. She had to come to the Stargazing Castle in a panic with only half of the umbrella left, and her shoulders were half wet.
She rushed into the corridor at the entrance angrily, and only then did she have time to put away her broken umbrella, tidy herself up, and brush off the rain on her shoulders and blonde hair.
A deliberate chuckle came from not far away. Lilith paused, not bothering to pay attention and walked straight to the lobby on the first floor. Unfortunately, the other party kept chasing after her. After a while, Lilith saw a yellow long skirt with embroidery coming into view. The bell-shaped skirt propped it up into a cute arc, but its owner was not so cute.
"Oh Lilith, is there a problem with the taxation in Tandin County?" Angel Russell covered her mouth and asked with exaggerated concern. "I remember that Viscount Friar owns an entire vein of Philosopher's Stone. How could he bear to let his beloved daughter suffer like this? You can't even afford a good umbrella. Your mother must be heartbroken when she sees this? Oh, no, no, I remember-"
An Qi's eyes gleamed with pride, and she uttered what she thought were vicious words from her red lips, "That countess is not your biological mother. Tsk, how pitiful. I always hear all kinds of rumors about vicious stepmothers, but I didn't expect that this story that I only heard in rumors actually happened to my dear classmate -"
"If you beg me for help, it is not impossible for me to provide some necessary assistance to my dear classmates." After saying this, she seemed to find it very interesting and even made herself laugh. She laughed so hard that she leaned on the female companion behind her, like a delicate yellow rose trembling gently in the wind.
"Catherine—" Lilith looked over Angel's shoulder and called out to her. She successfully saw Angel's face, which was almost distorted as she adjusted her attitude in an instant. She hurriedly restrained her expression, stood up straight and looked back. There was nothing—
Lilith walked forward without stopping, looking around curiously. The reason why the Stargazing Castle got this name was because the classroom for divination classes was located on the top floor of the tower. An observatory and telescope were also built for senior students to use to observe the stars. In this era, ordinary towers over 30 meters were considered very high, but the height of the Stargazing Castle, Lilith estimated, was over meters. She stood in the center of the round hall on the first floor and looked up at the stairs that spiraled up along the round hall. She couldn't see the end at a glance. Some students who arrived early had already climbed up the stairs to a very high position. From the ground, they were almost just small black dots.
Lilith touched the walnut handrail on the stairs, which had a warm and lustrous finish, and silently admired the superb construction craftsmanship. She guessed that magic must have been used to consolidate such a tall stone tower.
"Lilith!" Angie, who had been fooled, chased after her in a rage, "Look at you. You ignore the elegant social activities of the nobility and are keen on hanging out with commoners. Do you think you can show your uniqueness by doing this? Can you attract the attention of Her Highness Catherine? Do you know that in everyone's eyes, you are just a poor creature who has lowered your status and lost yourself! Her Highness just feels sorry for you!"
"What can you gain by mixing with commoners? Can it improve your status? Or can it make your family more glorious? Don't dream, it's absurd and ridiculous!"
"I've heard that your father doesn't like you, and now I understand why. Who wouldn't feel ashamed to have a daughter like this who only lowers the image of the nobility?" After she said that, she laughed along with several other close female companions.
Lilith observed the ground, and was a little annoyed by Anqi's restless chatter. As a college student, she really didn't want to quarrel with a girl whose mental age was only 12 years old. And she knew that she probably had the most wealth among all the noble students, but she didn't earn it herself, and she didn't have the guts to use money to hit people, so what was there to show off?
"Catherine--" Lilith looked over Angel's shoulder again and waved behind her.
"Ha! The same trick again. Don't you have any new tricks?" Angel was unmoved this time. She smiled like a proud peacock, wishing she could just look at Lilith with her nostrils.
"Good afternoon, Lilith." A cold voice came from behind, and Angel was successfully petrified on the spot.
Catherine, as usual, walked slowly over in a black dress. "What are you talking about? You look happy."
"Want to know?" Lilith tilted her head and smiled at Catherine, "Then stay and chat with me. Let them go first."
An Qi was a little anxious. She stepped forward to block between Lilith and Catherine and explained dryly, "Catherine! Miss Lilith and I were just chatting. Let's go. It's very high here and it will take a long time to climb. If we delay, we may be late..."
"I promise you won't be late. Look, the birds aren't rushing us." Lilith poked the timetable bird that was floating in the air and spinning leisurely, and said to Catherine with a smile.
Before Anqi could continue speaking, Catherine happily accepted the invitation, "Okay, I'd love to." Without waiting for Anqi to speak again, she pulled her hand and said, "You go first, Anqi, Lilith and I will catch up with you later."
Angel bit her lip, turned around and glared at Lilith fiercely from an angle where Catherine couldn't see, as if secretly warning Lilith not to talk nonsense in front of Catherine. However, Lilith just smiled at her and gave way to the stair railing. Angel had no excuse and didn't dare to disobey Catherine's decision, so she could only walk up the stairs with a few female companions angrily, looking back every few steps.
