The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa took another bite of the vegetable-wrapped roast meat:

"Didn't Asashi say that there is a very dangerous and deadly energy in my blood... that is most likely inherited from my mother?"

My mother never told me about her origins or past... There are also many rumors about her bloodline in private.

So I think that what happened back then might be related to my mother's bloodline... If we can uncover some things about my mother's past, we should be one step closer to the truth.

"...Aunt's background and the rumors about her?"

Tia seemed thoughtful:

“I know absolutely nothing about my aunt’s background, but I do have an idea and a clue about the rumors surrounding her.”

"Oh?"

Valensa's eyes lit up:

"What clue?"

“I remember the rumors about Auntie… mainly that she couldn’t have boys, right?”

Tia recalled:

"I heard my teacher say before... that there are some schools of witches who restrict their fertility in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline and only give birth to girls."

"A witch..."

Valensa murmured, seemingly unsurprised, and shook her head:

"I know that many witches can only give birth to daughters, but I don't think Mother is a witch."

"……Why do you say that?"

Tia was somewhat puzzled:

"The fact that she has dangerous bloodline power flowing through her body and can only give birth to daughters, doesn't that fit the characteristics of a witch?"

"That's certainly true, but..."

Valensa gave a somewhat self-deprecating, bitter smile:

"Have you ever seen a witch's daughter who has absolutely no magical talent? If Mother really is a witch, I'll be very shocked."

"Ah...that seems to be true."

Tia was at a loss for words.

She still felt there was a high probability that Valensa's mother was a witch.

As for Valensa having no magical talent at all... actually, Valensa's power of light has only recently awakened, hasn't it? Normally, this kind of bloodline power should awaken around the age of three to five.

Perhaps this is just a personal issue for Valensa...

Tia opened her mouth several times, but still didn't say the analysis, afraid of hurting Valensa's feelings.

So we had no choice but to go along with Valensa's wishes:

"But even if Auntie isn't a witch, judging from her situation, she could very well be related to one. Perhaps we could try asking her about it? I happen to have a lead here."

"You have a clue? What is it?" Valensa asked hastily.

"You're not a spellcaster, so you might not know this..."

Tia shrugs:

"Our academy has a new magic teacher this year, who comes from the Witch Forest. I've talked to her twice already, and she seems like a nice person."

If you have time after school tomorrow or the day after, I'll take you to visit her and ask about the witch.

If Auntie really is connected to the witch, perhaps she knows something... If not, it's good to rule out one possibility first.

"Well... okay, then I'll come find you after class tomorrow."

Valensa made her decision quickly.

She understood what Tia meant.

Visiting the witch, besides trying to find out about Valensa's mother's past, is more importantly a way to verify Valensa's bloodline.

Witches are attracted to each other. If Valensa is truly the daughter of a witch, she would surely sense something when she met the new magic teacher.

After discussing what would happen tomorrow afternoon, the two women had almost finished their lunch.

They left the restaurant and, instead of taking a carriage, walked to the nearby shopping mall.

Similar to the shopping malls in Valencia's previous life, Nora's shopping mall has five floors. The first three floors are mainly filled with clothes, shoes and bags from various brands, the fourth floor is mainly filled with ornaments and artworks, and the fifth floor has a variety of goods.

Many jobs in the Kingdom of Fran are like those at the War Academy, with a three-day work week followed by a one-day rest week. So today is actually a day off for many people, and the mall is packed with customers.

They had plenty of time in the afternoon, so Valensa and Tia didn't rush to their destination. Instead, they browsed a few stores on the women's clothing floor and picked out a few outfits for each other.

Of course, Tia paid for everything.

It wasn't until after 3 p.m. that Tia stopped Valensa, who was about to head into a dress shop again, and took her to buy high-quality black stockings.

It was a shop located on the fifth floor of the mall. The door was inconspicuous, but it had a magical seal on it, and you could only open it if you had the corresponding membership badge.

It's obvious that this is a membership-based store. Without a regular customer to guide you, new customers would likely not be able to get in even if they found the place.

Tia naturally had a member badge, so she opened the door easily and then, holding Valensa's hand, navigated smoothly through a corridor to a room with a darker color scheme.

A woman, around thirty years old, was sitting in a chair in the room, a cigarette dangling from her lips, casually flipping through a picture book. The cover of the book was full of pictures of beautiful women wearing only underwear and socks.

"Isn't this little Tia... Oh, you brought a friend today?"

Upon seeing Tia, the woman greeted her with a smile, then turned her gaze to Valensa, especially staring intently at Valensa's legs, her eyes growing brighter with each glance.

"Nice legs... truly beautiful legs..."

The woman sighed twice, then pulled out a membership badge from her collar that was exactly the same as the one Tia had used when she opened the door, and handed it to Valensa.

"With Tia guiding you, and you having a pair of very beautiful legs yourself... well, from now on you're my customer too... tell me, what do you need?"

"Hehe, I knew you could definitely satisfy Ms. Diana."

Seeing that Valensa still seemed a little confused, Tia smiled and explained to her:

"This is Ms. Dina. She came to settle in the capital from America two years ago, so you, who left three years ago, don't know her."

Ms. Dinah is incredibly skilled; her magical weaving techniques are superb, and she is especially adept at making all sorts of women's underwear and stockings.

In the current high society of the capital, if you don't have Ms. Diana's work with you when you attend a party, you will be ridiculed by the other ladies.

However, Ms. Diana doesn't accept just any customer... In her words, customers must have looks and figures that match her work.

"That's right, that's right... My designs aren't for just anyone. No matter how much money you offer those ugly people, it won't work."

Diana nodded in agreement, but her eyes remained fixed on Valensa's legs.

"But little sister, you'll definitely be fine... My designs might be a little expensive, but if you wear them, I can give you a 30% discount... no, 50% off is fine... because the fact that my designs are on your legs is a form of advertising."

"Then I thank you very much, Ms. Diana..."

Valensa's face lit up with a bright smile, and she was in a very good mood.

She wouldn't feel too much annoyance as long as someone sincerely complimented her on her black stockings, not to mention that Ms. Diana wasn't the kind of man who was lewd, but rather a very charming and beautiful woman.

But Tia suddenly stomped her foot angrily, her face full of jealousy:

"Wow... Ms. Diana, you're so biased! I've bought so many things from you, and you've never once offered me a discount..."

Of course I know Valencia has a great figure, but am I really that much worse off than her?

"Hahaha... It seems little Tia is jealous."

Ms. Diana smiled:

“Little Tia, your figure is great too, no worse than your friend’s… You lost out because of your temperament and mindset.”

"Temperament? Mental state?"

Tia raised an eyebrow, becoming even more unconvinced:

"Are you saying I don't have the same charisma as Valenza, and my mentality isn't as good as hers?"

Chapter 25: Black stockings are definitely more popular, aren't they?

"Ha ha……"

Tia's defiant look only made Diana happier.

However, Diana clearly knew she couldn't tease Tia too much, and after laughing, she quickly explained:

“I’m not saying your temperament and mindset are inferior to Valencia’s… to be precise, it’s that your temperament and mindset are not as suitable as hers.”

"...Isn't she suitable?"

"Well, let me put it this way..."

Diana hesitated for a few seconds:

"As you know, my works mainly consist of underwear and various socks. Let's not talk about underwear, which can't be easily shown to others, but let's just talk about socks... How would you feel if a lot of people stared at your white stockings, even wanting to lick them?"

"Needless to say? It's absolutely disgusting!"

Tia did not hesitate:

"I would definitely cover my legs immediately, and if I got really angry... I might even hit someone."

"That's why I said you're not suitable for promoting my work~~"

Diana shrugged and looked at Valensa again:

"And what about you? How would you feel if you were in that situation?"

"I..."

Valensa thought for a moment:

"I'll probably feel a little disgusted and disgusted, but also a little schadenfreude... Anyway, those people are just people I can see but can't touch, so I'll make them drool!"

If the person staring at me is someone I'm close to, I might even be quite happy, pleased that I'm attractive.

"Now you should understand what I mean, right?"

Diana smiled and turned her gaze back to Tia.

"understood."

Tia nodded, somewhat annoyed.

"Simply put, Valencia is more shameless than me, and she's good at showing off your work everywhere, which is like giving you free publicity, so you gave her a discount, right?"

"Uh……"

Diana seemed surprised that Tia would be so disrespectful to Valensa, and looked away.

"You said all of that, it has nothing to do with me."

"It's okay, this guy is shameless, she won't care."

Tia waved her hand and then patted Valensa on the back:

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick what you want."

"oh oh……"

Valensa then made her request, and Dinah enthusiastically introduced the artwork to her.

Thinking that since she was already there and Tia would be paying, Valensa first bought several sets of underwear without any hesitation, and only then suggested that she wanted to buy a few more pairs of high-quality black pantyhose.

"Panty stockings... Hmm, they really suit your beautiful legs."

Dinah initially approved of Valensa's choice, but then expressed some regret:

"However, I only have two pairs of black pantyhose left. If you want to buy more, you'll have to wait ten days."

"Then let's wait a little longer... If we're going to be frugal, two pairs to alternate wearing will be enough."

Valensa didn't press the matter, nodding with a hint of curiosity:

"But I see you have quite a lot of other colors of pantyhose, why is it that only black pantyhose are out of stock? Is it because black pantyhose are the most popular?"
