Joel breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he realized what Tia had said.

"But……"

"Okay, now is a critical moment. There are all kinds of things to deal with in the academy, and everyone is in a panic. It is impossible to arrange a marriage at this time." Tia comforted softly.

Joel realized that he was too worried and felt a little relieved. His tense face relaxed a little. He felt a little embarrassed when he saw Tia looking at him with gentle eyes.

But when he looked at Tia, he suddenly realized a problem. Tia was no longer the "little Tia" he mentioned.

Even if she could get through this period safely, Tia was already of marriageable age.

Since she was a child, Tia has only thought about practicing well and managing her territory. Apart from the few people she often plays with in the academy, she doesn't know anyone else.

Even if he didn't marry into the royal family, he didn't forget that there was a Syrio who had been thinking about his sister since childhood.

"Brother, what have you thought of now?" Tia tilted her head slightly, a little confused.

I just saw that Joel seemed to be relieved, so why did he suddenly fall into deep thought again?

Joel turned his head slightly and saw Tia looking at him gently. He grabbed something on the table in a panic.

"Nothing." He played with the thing in his hand, "Your thing..."

At first, Joel just thought this little gadget was very novel, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He turned sideways and saw a lot of new and strange things on the desk beside him that he had never seen before.

Something's wrong!

"I didn't see these things the last time I came to your house?"

Tia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to this.

"I bought these things from places I passed by while on missions."

Hoel's expression grew serious again. "But I remember your mission this time took you to a deserted place. How could there be vendors there?"

"Oh, brother, don't you think about it? It's been a long time since you last came. It's not just a few days." Tia squatted beside Joel and acted coquettishly.

When Joel thought about it, it seemed to be true, and his psychological defenses quickly broke down.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? What's there that you can't tell me? When I asked you just now, you just said it was okay." Tia took advantage of the situation and decisively changed the subject.

"It's okay, I just suddenly felt that our Tia has grown up." Joel stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Tia's head. He originally wanted to ruffle her hair into a messy bun like when she was a child, but in the end he gently let it down.

When Tia heard this, she felt a little emotional. She seemed to have grown from a five-year-old girl to her current age.

The original plot line has now turned into a hurricane as she, a little butterfly, keeps flapping her wings.

The current plot is not exactly the same as the one she watched at the beginning, but it can be said that they are completely unrelated.

If it weren't for what happened during their initial meeting and the highly overlapping names, she would have thought it was all just an illusion.

After years of training, Carlos has become humble and polite; the reputation of Jurgen Chamber of Commerce is not praised by everyone, but there are not many negative comments; Zoltan is also like a happy puppy; Syrio is also full of hope for every day in the future; although Lobeli is still the sunny little sun, he has also become good friends with her.

She turned her head and looked at Joel beside her. Thanks to her unremitting efforts, her brother was no longer as unkind as in the novel.

"Yeah! Doesn't brother like growing up?"

Although Joel didn't want his sister to get married, he couldn't stop her from pursuing happiness for his own selfish desires.

He shook his head, unwilling to say what was in his heart, "No matter how old our Tia grows, your family will always be your support."

"Okay! I knew that brother is the best!" Tia didn't know where Joel's thoughts drifted to, but it didn't prevent her from hearing the concern in his tone.

"Okay, it must be uncomfortable to squat for a while, so get up first." Joel felt soft-hearted when he saw the smile on Tia's face. He reached out to pull her up and led her to sit on the bed, but he accidentally touched Tia's chain ring.

“This thing is quite exquisite.”

"Ah, I got this from there when I returned to the territory. It's been a while, and my brother didn't pay any attention to me at all." In order to prevent Joel from getting suspicious again, Tia immediately started to pester him.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. This thing is quite suitable. If you like it, I will buy it for you next time I see a suitable one."

Joel didn't think his lovely sister was being unreasonable. He just thought he didn't pay enough attention to Tia, so he didn't even know about this matter.

"Okay." Tia agreed immediately. "I keep rambling on and on, but brother still hasn't told me how your mission is going?"

Joel usually doesn't have the habit of sharing with others. After all, doing a mission is just a simple mission, and he is not the only one doing the mission.

But he also knew that his sister wanted to know more about him, so he recounted the process of his mission.

At first, Joel just gave an objective evaluation, as if he was telling someone else's story, but when he saw the distressed look in Tia's eyes, he softened his tone and began to downplay the injuries and difficulties.

When she finished the story, Tia's eyes were red.

She originally thought that the fights in various places were just minor ones, and even if the tasks were difficult, they could be solved with just a little bit of thinking.

But in fact, the missions that people like Joel can take on are already very difficult, and getting injured and trapped are inevitable.

The rumors spread by the academy and the royal family seemed like whitewashing at this moment.

"At worst, we still have Syrio in the team. His wounds will heal quickly. Look, I have no injuries on my body now."

Joel reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Tia's eyes, then held Tia in his arms and comforted her.

"You're only healed, not unharmed." Tia wasn't convinced. "Jurgen's leg was broken, how can you be any better?"

"That's his bad luck. I have Tia, my little lucky star, to protect me well." Joel really didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Tia has been very well-behaved since she was a child, and has a strong ability to withstand pressure, so situations like this rarely happen.
