Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

"Ms. Lizzie, it's my honor to talk to you today. I should have visited you in person, but I'm deeply sorry that you've been bothered to come here."

Avina lowered her head, her voice trembling at first, but later on, her sentences became more fluent.

She looked at Lizzie and continued in a very formal tone:

"Your sister, Mademoiselle Charles, is a woman of extraordinary character, kindness, and wisdom. My respect and admiration for her has only grown during the time I have known her."

"With the deepest respect for you and the most sincere affection for Mademoiselle Charles, I implore you—"

"Allow me to ask her to marry me."

thump—

The more Charles listened, the more she felt something was wrong. When she heard the latter part, she instantly understood what Avina wanted to do, but when she wanted to stand up, her knee hit the heavy solid wood table, making a dull sound. Charles also covered her knee and half squatted down in pain.

At this time, Lizzie opened her mouth wide, looking at Avina in front of her with a serious face in a bit of amazement.

She looked in the direction of Charles as if asking for help, but only saw a shaking head.

"I, I, I... you, you, you..."

Lizzie looked at Avina and said stutteringly, "Aren't you all women... Proposing..."

"Ms. Lizzie, love is not something that can only be measured by gender. It should be a more open and inclusive concept... Please understand me."

Avina responded, thinking of the words she had repeated in her mind countless times.

"Keke...but your identities, your families..."

This was the first time Lizzie had encountered something like this, and her tone was completely panicked.

In her eyes, Charles was still just that little brat who was not even as tall as her waist, chasing after her and calling her sister. But in the blink of an eye, this little sister of hers was actually proposed to...

The other party is also the eldest daughter of a prominent family.

No matter what, the gap in status between the two sides is still too huge. In Lizzie's eyes, this is simply impossible.

"Ms. Lizzie, you don't know that I was abandoned by my family and sent to Burren City. There's a very practical reason why I didn't abandon the name 'Russell'—because it can make money."

Avina said sincerely: "Besides, Charles has now become a senior consultant for the largest consortium in Ansu, the Deton Group, and I am just a down-and-out nobleman on the verge of bankruptcy. I don't think my identity is a problem..."

"As for my family... they have never had the right to restrict me or tell me what to do. That was the case before, is the case now, and will be the case in the future."

Lizzie felt like her eyes were going to become mosquito-repellent eyes, and she felt a little dizzy.

At this time, Charles was also holding the edge of the table with both hands, sticking out half of his head, and his eyes nervously scanned between Avina and Lizzie.

Charles never thought that Avina, who was so green and shy when it came to feelings, would be so bold in this regard.

Avina wanted to come with me to talk to my sister because she wanted to get my sister's permission to propose to me!

Lizzie's mood was also very complicated at this time.

It was difficult for her to accept the fact that her sister was suddenly proposed to, even though she had simulated this kind of thing in her mind countless times before and even really thought about her sister getting married.

For example, is he a handsome guy, hardworking and capable, considerate and gentle? How can I test whether he is sincere to Ciel...

But she never expected that the "handsome guy" who she imagined coming to propose to her sister did not show up, but instead a noble and graceful beautiful young lady appeared - this strong contrast made her want to pinch her face to see if she was still dreaming.

But after Lizzie calmed down, she began to think carefully about her goals and what Avina said.

Her goal from the beginning to the end was to help her sister escape from the miserable life like her own and make her live a better and happier life. It was for this reason that she worked so hard.

And now, my sister has graduated and even found a job that sounds awesome. There are even some really, really good people who like her...

Did she want to see her sister get married and have children? No, she just wanted her sister to be happy.

If this can make my sister happy, then gender doesn't seem to be that important.

Now, what she is most worried about is actually the status gap.

Lizzie was worried whether her sister really liked the girl, and whether the strong-looking older lady would bully or let her sister down.

Li Qi looked at Charles and asked softly: "Charles, I want to know what you think... When you are together, does she bully you?"

As long as her sister said she was being bullied, she would never hesitate. She would just punch the young lady and then take her sister away.

Avina, who was standing by, pursed her lips slightly as she listened to Lizzie's words...

Bullying Ciel...me?

I also want to bully...

At this time, Charles knew that she could no longer hide. She stood up, walked to Lizzie's side, and said: "After what we have experienced during this period of time, Avina has become my spiritual support, just like you, my sister. We really like each other..."

"As for bullying..."

As if to reassure his sister, Charles said, "Don't look at Avina as serious now. She is actually very shy in private. Her whole body will go limp if she is touched lightly..."

"Ciel!"

Avina's face immediately turned red, and she stared at Charles, as if warning her with her eyes not to say anything more.

She had finally managed to establish a reliable and steady image in front of her sister Charles, but Charles shattered it with just one sentence, which made Avina feel ashamed and angry.

How will Sister Lizzie look at her in the future?

Lizzie looked around at the blushing Avina and little Charles who was trying to hold back his laughter, and suddenly smiled with relief.

It seems that her worries were unnecessary... Little Charles is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. It seems that the one who occupies the passive position in this relationship is the noble eldest lady.

Lizzie stretched out her hands, held Charles' right hand on the right and Avina's left hand on the left, and gently placed Avina's hand on Charles' palm.

"Since this is Ciel's own wish... I have no objection."

Liqi looked at Ciel and said seriously, "Little Ciel, don't bully her in the future, okay?"

Is this...agreed?

Avina looked at Charles in front of her, her heart pounding. She hadn't drunk any alcohol since she listened to Charles' words, but now she felt as if she was walking on clouds.

"I try my best."

Ciel smiled and placed his left hand on Lizzie's shoulder, leaning over and kissing her cheek.

Not bullying...that depends on how fiercely Avina resists.

After instructing Ciel, Lizzie looked at Avina and said, "Although I support your relationship... and although the legal age of marriage is 12... but you and Ciel are only about 15 years old. I still hope you can get along for a while longer. After all, you haven't known each other for very long..."

"Don't worry, Sister Lizzie. For nobles, the most suitable age for marriage is 18. Marrying too early will make others feel too impatient... Please rest assured that we will get along well and get used to each other for a while."

Avina also lowered her head and gently touched Lizzie's cheeks with her cheeks.

Lizzie let go of the two girls' hands. She looked at Charles and Avina, feeling so much emotion in her heart that she didn't even realize that her eyes were wet.

Charles got a good and respectable job, his class leaped up to what could be called an "ascension", and he also found love. For Lizzie, all the suffering she had endured before was now worth it.

But even at this time, Avina did not forget the important matter, and she felt that now was the best time to bring up this matter.

"elder sister,"

Avina immediately upgraded her address and said, "Charles and I will both be transferred to Anzu City for work reasons. Charles wants you to come with him... This is not only Charles' wish, but also mine."

"Uh-huh."

Ciel nodded as well, looking towards his sister expectantly.

Chapter 178: The green and sweet aroma of orange.

"But... I think it's fine to stay in Burren City. After all, you can come back to visit me if you miss me during the holidays, right..."

After mentioning going to Anzu City together, Lizzie seemed to become nervous again.

She was really worried that she would become a burden to Ciel... This was something Lizzie couldn't accept.

She had never been to school and couldn't even read or write properly. She knew very well that she would never be able to keep up with the pace of Charles's rise.

But at least, she could choose not to be a stumbling block and burden to Charles.

When Charles heard this, her mind was a little confused. She was about to say something to persuade Lizzie, but Avina beat her to it.

"Sister, I don't think I've told you about Ciel's salary yet?"

Avina said calmly, "The salary offered by the Deton Group is 35 pounds per week."

"35 pounds?!"

This number directly impacted Lizzie's brain, causing her mouth to open slightly as she tried her best to suppress the urge to scream.

"Yes."

Avina smiled slightly and said, "This is five pounds more than the weekly salary of a famous doctor from Harley Street, but this is what Charles deserves."

"How can there be so much money... Are they trying to trick little Charles into coming over?"

Li Qi asked nervously, "Many children in Bell Tower Alley are lured with high salaries and then trafficked to neighboring countries..."

"Don't worry, sister,"

Avina shook her head and said calmly, "The wealth created by Charles's idea can help the Deton Group increase its annual revenue by tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of pounds. This is just my conservative estimate."

"Compared to Ciel's idea, I feel that the salary she received is unfair."

"But at least this way, Charles and my sister won't have to worry about Su Pound anymore and can just enjoy their lives."

Hundreds of thousands of pounds... every year...

This was a number that Lizzie couldn't even imagine. She turned her head to look in the direction of Charles and saw that Charles nodded at her.

Now, Li Qi finally believed what they said.

"Besides, I'll be very busy in Ansu City when I go there, and Charles won't be familiar with Ansu City by himself..."

Avina said softly, "If you go with me, you can protect little Charles. I don't want him to be bullied over there, right?"

"Do you agree?"

Avina looked towards Charles with a smile in her eyes and said in a more serious tone, "Little~Charle~"

This can be considered as a small counterattack against Charles's "nonsense" just now.

You dare to call me that, right?

Charles took a deep breath and stopped looking at Avina.

The important thing now is to deal with the important things. We can deal with her later.

"I'm alone over there... scared..."

Following Avina's words, Charles looked at Lizzie, blinked, and said pitifully.

Looking at Charles's eyes, Lizzie couldn't resist and said, "Okay... Then I'll go with you."

In an instant, the pity on Charles' face disappeared, and he smiled and hugged Lizzie directly, making Lizzie feel a little cheated.

Avina looked at the happy Charles, smiled, shook her head, and returned to her seat.

What happened tonight had a happy ending, which made Avina feel better.

The second half of the dinner was spent in a warm atmosphere. Only after dinner ended and Lizzie left to pack up did Avina and Charles get on the carriage back.

Before Lizzie left, Charles handed her a small bag containing six half-pound gold coins. This was some spending money for Lizzie to have a good rest during this period. Of course, this money was prepared for Charles by Avina before she came.

Now the money that Charles made from selling potions is basically in Avina's hands. Charles has not withdrawn it yet, and she has not even asked how much money he made - she herself doesn't know how much money she has.

But there must be a few thousand pounds.

On the way back, Avina seemed to be in a very good mood. She leaned back on the cushions, closed her eyes and hummed some soft melodies.

Even before returning to the room, Avina still had a smile on her face.

This made some servants who had worked here for two or three years and had never seen the young lady smile feel that they were dazzled.

Only after the door was closed did Avina turn around and look at Charles. She raised her chin slightly and said with some pride: "How was it? Did I perform well tonight?"

"It's fine—except you didn't discuss it with me."

Charles took a step forward, stood in front of Avina, and said in an intriguing tone, "Why haven't I heard about the proposal?"

Hearing this, Avina took a step back feeling a little guilty and said, "Your guardian has agreed..."

It was indeed Avina who acted first and reported later, and her voice was much lower.

Charles pressed on, taking a few steps forward until Avina's back hit the wall, leaving her with nowhere to retreat. Then he said, "What did you call me for dinner? I kind of forgot."
