Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

But the next moment——

Anne stepped over the threshold and walked straight forward. She stood in front of Tia and took her right hand. She turned her head away and said indifferently:

"I like you."

Volume 1: Chapter 66: Assistance from Charles

Such an action immediately shattered the minds of many young people present.

Especially Karna Horn, who was trying to pursue Anne. Karna was closer to the door of the banquet hall, and he saw Anne's expression clearly when she said this, and he was immediately heartbroken.

Anyway, regardless of anything else, the Mercury family's property has nothing to do with him.

Anyone with normal vision can see it - the look in his eyes is visibly thread-like!

The entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the atmosphere relaxed and the men and women in the banquet hall pretended not to care and continued to eat, drink, talk and laugh.

After all, how can I say that I like this?

There is love between lovers, but there is also love between relatives, friends, and even between owners and pets.

Who knows what kind of love this refers to?

The adults present clearly didn't take it seriously, treating it as just a casual exchange of affection between friends. Mrs. Mercury, who was at the mansion, had a slightly complicated expression, but said nothing.

The situation of the Mercury family is far more complicated than outsiders think. As the heir, Countess and Countess Mercury have never even thought about continuing the family line.

It seems as if he doesn't care whether his bloodline can continue.

Therefore, Mrs. Mercury always chose to observe and offer advice rather than interfere with Anne's choices - just as she knew that Anne had prepared the materials for the deep diving ceremony but did not forcibly stop her.

But since Annie said this, it was obvious that she was rejecting her suitor - even if the liking she said was just the liking between friends.

Tia held Anne's hand very naturally. Anne's hand was different from Eleanor's, it was smaller and warmer.

When the atmosphere in the banquet hall became heated again, Tia squeezed Annie's palm and asked curiously, "Isn't it inappropriate to say such things in this kind of situation? Or—"

Tia jokingly asked, "Are you really in love with me?"

"No!" Annie said angrily, "It's because Tia brought Eleanor with her this time!"

"I originally wanted to invite you to help me deal with those suitors. After all, Tia is a good drinker and can easily get those little brats drunk."

It is true that Tia is quite good at drinking. Not the kind of good that ordinary people are good at, but an ability that is almost extraordinary. She once drank a liter of strong liquor, but did not have any alcohol reaction.

Anne complained, "But you suddenly brought Eleanor here, and Sister Evelyn didn't dare to take you away from Eleanor. So I can only say this to fool her! It's all your fault!"

"Ah... I'm sorry." Tia apologized immediately and continued, "But this isn't a good thing to say, is it?"

"Like is like, even between good friends. Tia is my best friend, it would be abnormal if I didn't like her!

"But you brought Eleanor here without telling me. How abominable!"

Eleanor could hear the pure naturalness in Anne's voice; the blonde girl was indeed very angry.

Eleanor said dejectedly, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about, Eleanor. It's all Sulph's fault! If she had said she would come with you, I wouldn't have said that in public."

Anne is still angry.

Tia had not expected this at all. After all, it was a birthday party - she thought there would be at most a few dozen people, just a gathering among relatives and friends, so she brought Eleanor with her.

I didn't expect that there were almost hundreds of people in the banquet hall, most of whom Annie didn't know at all...

Tia handed the bag to Annie and changed the subject: "Don't be angry for now, this is a gift I prepared for you."

"Gift!"

Anne was indeed attracted by this sudden topic and asked in surprise, "Isn't it very expensive?"

"That's impossible—Ah! Why are you biting me?"

The blonde girl bit Tia's arm and said angrily, "What do you mean that's impossible?"

"Because it can't be described as precious or cheap. I prepared it with all my heart, and it's beyond the limits of value."

"Glib tongue..."

Anne muttered a few words, opened the bag and saw an amulet and a small box.

Tia explained the amulet's main function to her. As for the box, Tia suggested that Annie open it after returning home.

Anne listened to Tijuana introduce the amulet and asked in surprise, "Ah! Was it made by Sister Isabella? Why did you suddenly think of making this? Is it because of winter?"

It is November now, and it is indeed early winter.

Tia explained: "It's because around this time last month, I took you to the hospital for an IV drip and medicine."

Anne blushed immediately.

This time last month... She did remember it, when she and Tia went shopping in the King District, and because she slept late the day before, her period came very heavily.

"Thank you."

Anne whispered something, then she remembered Eleanor who was still in a daze, patted her head and remembered the business, and asked curiously: "Why is Eleanor here?"

This is a long story, and it's very secretive.

Tia could only scare Annie with royal secrets, and finally she simply covered her mouth and dared not ask any questions.

....................

After the girls chatted for a while, Annie had to go and deal with the guests at the banquet.

Because some of them were her elders, she had to go over and say hello.

Eleanor felt dizzy looking at so many people and said hesitantly, "Tia, can we go back?"

Tia said, "That won't work. This is a party, we have to stay for at least two more hours, right?"

“…I’m scared.”

"I know. Come on, Eleanor, don't treat them as people. Treat them as potatoes and onions. Then don't make any expression and just sit there and eat."

"oh......."

Eleanor said she understood and then asked, "But what if they come over and want to talk to me?"

Tia smiled and said, "That's easier. Just keep smiling, nod your head no matter what the other person says, don't make any comments or responses, and then focus on eating. The other person will feel embarrassed."

"Oh! You are so beautiful!"

Eleanor's eyes lit up. This was good. She loved eating and hated socializing.

The girl sat at the table obediently, holding her knife and fork, intently struggling with the dessert.

On the other side, Tia was also walking among the crowd.

Unlike Anne and Eleanor, she was adept at talking to anyone, whether it was about makeup, skin care, fashion, humanities and geography, or even kingdom politics and scientific knowledge.

This is not because Tia has in-depth understanding or achievements in these areas, but because she has extensive knowledge in her past and present lives, and if she goes deeper, she will be exposed.

But even this simple knowledge and understanding made everyone marvel.

Mrs. Mercury, who was talking to a reporter in the distance, had been keeping an eye on Tia. To be honest, she had a good first impression of Tia.

In both appearance and character, Miss Tia Sulph was well-spoken and measured, a child of excellent upbringing. To be able to grow up like this in the slums of Beigang District was quite rare.

So she didn't have much objection to Anne and Tia's contact, but Tia seemed to be a superhuman, and the girl with long platinum hair next to her made her a little hesitant.

Princess Eleanor...

On the side, Charles said embarrassedly: "Madam, you just said that you want to hire a rhetoric teacher for Miss Anne. I have a few good friends here."

“Ah… Sorry, Mr. Charles, I was distracted.

"That's true, but I don't intend to hire anyone else. Your writing has proven your quality, and I think you're the perfect fit."

“Me, me!?”

Charles was immediately surprised and said quickly, "I'm not quite suitable. I don't think I'm as good as you and the Earl say I am. Besides, there are too many colleagues in the newspaper who are better than me, for example, for example..."

He always thought that his article was just of average quality, but it was Miss Sulph's opening that added so much color to his article!

The young man asked around and found out that the editor-in-chief of Friday Economic News was also invited, but he didn't know where he was drinking with and who he was having a drink with.

But as luck would have it, Tia was walking towards this side with a smile, having accepted the contact address of who knows how many girls.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, I think Miss Tia Sulph is much more suitable than me!"

Volume 1: Chapter 67 It turns out that it was my cabbage that took the initiative to push it forward?

"Little Sulph?"

Mrs. Mercury had not expected to hear the name of Sulph from the lately famous Mr. Charles.

This is really difficult.

The Mercury family should now stay away from politics as much as possible, and Sulph is involved with the royal family - however, let Anne decide these things herself.

The lady had a slight headache, but she still forced a smile when she saw Tia coming over.

Tia walked over to the two of them and said sweetly, "Good evening, Aunt Mercury. And Charles, hello too."

"Hello, little Sulph. Anne has mentioned you many times, and you are indeed even more beautiful in person than she described."

Mrs. Mercury was smiling. Her full name was "Edwina Mercury". She was tall and looked less than 30 years old. But compared to Anne, who was as childish and innocent as a child, Mrs. Mercury had a more mature charm.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"No need to be so modest. Sit here. Mr. Charles and I were discussing finding a rhetoric teacher for Anne, but Charles recommended you, Little Sulph. You've been busy with your studies lately, haven't you? "

"Rhetoric teacher? School matters aren't too busy. I've already got the recommendation letter from Yves Saint Laurent. All I have to do now is wait until winter break for the interview, so I have plenty of time."

Tia paused and said, "I think I can take on this task. However, Aunt Winna, even among friends, we should be serious when talking about money, right?"

"Of course." The lady couldn't help but smile and said, "But it depends on Annie's opinion. She is not the type to like studying.

A few people talked and laughed, and Tia brought some desserts to Eleanor during the meal.

Eleanor was afraid that she would be full before two hours had passed, so she ate very slowly, taking small bites and nibbling off the corners.

Whenever someone sat next to her, Eleanor would smile politely but distantly as Tia had taught her and continue eating.

After all, Eleanor was born into a royal family. As she was influenced by her surroundings and nurtured by daily life, her blood-red eyes had a hint of majesty. In addition, Eleanor was a little far away from Tia, and the effect of her innate extraordinary ritual [Glass Glow] gradually recovered. Ordinary people would feel creepy after sitting there for a few minutes.

That feeling—it can’t even be described as meeting the king!

It is like meeting the Father of all things.

Only the gods in heaven could display such inhuman indifference, coldness and majesty.

——Although Eleanor was very panicked.

..............

The time soon came to seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Tia received countless contact addresses and then pulled Anne to Eleanor's side.

Tia and Anne are both night owls and have no discomfort at all, but Eleanor is very uncomfortable. She is about to take a shower and go to bed.

Plus, Tia pulled me out of bed this morning, so I feel sleepy and my eyelids are drooping.

But after all, the banquet is not over yet, so I definitely can't go back.

Eleanor leaned on Tia's shoulder and took a nap. This was her usual behavior at home. If she was very sleepy but couldn't fall asleep, she would lean on her brother or sister's shoulder and take a nap.

The smile on Annie's face turned a little sour, even though she was the first one to come...

So what is your relationship?

Anne stood up and whispered with concern, "Do you want Eleanor to sleep in my bedroom for a while?"

"Is this okay?" Tia's shoulders felt sore, and she simply said, "How about I take Eleanor back first?"

"It's late, isn't it? It's dangerous outside. And Eleanor isn't a suspicious person, so let her sleep in my bedroom first. Come out with me for a walk later. It's too stuffy and noisy in here."

Annie flatly refused. She hadn't seen Tia for several days and was unwilling to let the two go back.

Seeing that she could save the energy of sending Eleanor back, Tia readily agreed and carried Eleanor to Anne's bedroom.
