147 – Have you waited long?
The day after Isaac fell, the mansion is in chaos.
“….”
At the mansion’s training ground, Trixie was lost in complex and subtle thoughts.
It was fortunate that Isaac did not die, but shortly after he regained consciousness, he looked for Plann first, not Trixie. He quickly demanded to let him into the room.
“Looks like you have a lot to talk about.”
Even the conversation between the two was long. Half a day had already passed since Flan entered Isaac’s room.
Actually, what Trixie, her daughter, received was a guest order.
Isaac told Trixie through her maid that she should not even show her face. He added that he would not even trade until he completed ‘Molten Flame’.
“Am I just a tool?”
A means for Isaac’s eternal life.
A handy tool.
A doll that listens well.
There were many things she wanted to ask, but in the end, all Trixie could do was train to manifest ‘Molten Flame’.
I have to interpret the tombstone in time so Isaac won’t die, and only if he’s alive can I ask why.
Two things are needed to interpret the tombstone.
The first is a magical book containing the deciphered text, and the second is the melted flame.
“Haa….”
But he sighed.
It’s still just a failure. If progress was noticeable, there would be hope, but all of them failed.
It was then.
“Lady!”
The maid enters the training ground with an urgent voice.
“My lady! Miss Trixie!”
“What is it?”
“Who, who came?”
“Kick it out.”
Trixie unknowingly narrowed her brows.
Fritz is currently not accepting guests as the householder has collapsed. She was completely shut off from the outside.
But she puts on an expression that the maid is embarrassed.
“That…. The person who came….”
Looking at the maid’s expression, something came to mind.
No way.
Trixie hardened her face.
◈
Trixie moved quickly and visited the scene.
Mansion.
In other words, this is the heart of the Fritz family.
Fritz’s name is by no means low among wizards. There are very few people who can confidently visit even though they are clearly aware of this.
The first is the imperial family. And if not for the imperial family….
“Who are you?”
“….”
The head maid silently avoided Trixie’s gaze. But rather, that action is a sufficient answer.
The moment I forgot in my mind who would come. The clutter came from the far side of the front door.
“Wait a minute.”
“Currently, Fritz is not accepting guests….”
Trixie hardened her face as she saw the maids desperately grabbing someone. Looking at the reaction, I’m sure. She, too, was right in her own prediction.
‘At a time like this, of course.’
Trixie took a deep breath as she ate her heart. The more she was in this situation, the more she had to do well herself, not anyone else.
“I will greet you.”
“Oh, lady?”
Trixie moved her steps toward her front door. As expected, the maids surrounded the five desperately.
Among them, the woman in the middle stands out.
Looks like Trixie. But white hair. Pure white skin. Pure white eyes.
Except for the color, everything is similar to him. Trixie knew very well who it was.
“Stand back, everyone.”
“Miss Trixie!”
Only then did the maids move away with relieved faces. After the fence with their bodies disappeared, the white party crept towards Trixie.
“Meet Miss Trixie. What, is it okay to say hello like this?”
The person in the middle of the five bowed roughly, and Trixie bowed her head politely. The next moment, their eyes collided in midair.
“Yes. Miss April.”
She seems to have dyed herself white. The name of the woman is April. In relation to her, it was her cousin.
‘Her uncle’s first daughter….’
It’s funny, actually. To think that the influence of her relatives could have a strong effect on a family that was openly functioning.
However, if the family name is ‘Fritz’, the story is different.
In this family where rank and power are determined solely by the power of flame, April, who handles white flames, is an existence that cannot be ignored.
Such a woman was the first to find her mansion at this time.
‘It must have been on purpose.’
I don’t think this is a coincidence. It must be a carefully calculated necessity.
It was Trixie who broke the silence first.
“It’s been a while. There is no story I have heard beforehand, so I am very concerned that the treatment will be insufficient.”
Of course, the main meaning of the remark was to criticize Fritz for ignoring his will and brazenly entering. However, April had no reaction.
“Don’t worry about that. If she doesn’t like it, she can just burn it.”
“Did you just say you would burn it?”
“Uh.”
As if Trixie didn’t care, April kept looking around her.
The target of that gaze must have been Isaac’s bedroom, Trixie quickly added her words.
“First, let’s talk in the drawing room. Prepare refreshments….”
“Patriarch, I heard you fell ill.”
Trixie had to control her emotions in April’s way of cutting her own words.
‘How did you find out?’
Less than a day had passed since Isaac fell.
However, the fact that he already grasped such facts showed how much April’s ability was and how much he had been watching the dynamics of this family at the same time.
“Answer me, Trixie. No?”
April urged.
“The head of household is a little tired right now.”
“You don’t seem to be at the level of being a bit tired. Aren’t you too interested in your dad, even though you’re a daughter?”
Trixie did not waver even when she was criticized or sarcastic.
The moment you get excited, you’ll get involved. First, you had to properly understand the other person’s intentions.
“I was thinking of checking it out soon. I’m upset because the head of household said he was ill. “
From noble mtl dot com
Trixie’s eyebrows trembled at the word verification.
“Verification?”
“Yes.”
April smirked.
“Trixie, you are in the Faculty of Magic. He said he went around listening to geniuses in his own way.”
“Yes.”
“I was worried all of a sudden. I wanted to verify whether the next family head went to the academy to meet men or to learn magic.”
Trixie chewed her lower lip.
The verification of the Fritz family is simple. After the two magicians engaged in a duel with flames, the winning side was simply described as ‘verified’.
However, verification is extremely important. It is very natural. A verified person inherits the position of head of household.
‘Dad didn’t show his face once when he was healthy.’
A few years ago, after losing against Isaac, April left for the great forest in the center of the continent to train.
… I heard that, but it appears right now?
‘A liar.’
I must have been waiting for a time like this to come.
“Next time. The head of the family is currently tired and cannot respond to the verification. Also, I’ve never been anywhere to meet a man.”
“Wow…. I’ve become incredibly clever while I haven’t seen it. Trixie.”
April was serious.
“I’m not the family head, I’m trying to verify you. You said you were getting married.”
Trixie’s eyes shook slightly.
‘You even figured out that?’
Since when did she observe and where did she hide her eyes and ears? I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“That….”
“Trixie, are you nervous? Relax.”
April laughed and patted Trixie on the shoulder.
“If you prove your skills, that’s it. If the verification is successful, Trixie becomes the head of household, and lives with her husband Oh Soon-do. It’s not very difficult. Is not it?”
Trixie swallowed dry saliva.
I still can’t beat April’s flames.
In the end, the words that could be said were decided.
“It was a lie in the first place. I am not married.”
“hahahaha—.”
April burst into laughter.
“Trixie. Do you really want to be like this?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“I see.”
April, standing still and nodding his head a couple of times, approaches slowly. He puts his chin on Trixie’s shoulder and whispers very quietly.
“Hey.”
A cool tone.
“… This crazy boy did you turn? Did you think I didn’t know that you were using marriage as an excuse to buy time while the householder was down?”
April takes a couple of steps behind her with a friendly smile.
“Did I say something harsh without knowing? I will apologize.”
“It’s okay.”
“Yes. Should be fine But, as far as I know, there must be representatives from the Faculty of Magic in this mansion right now….”
April clicked his tongue.
“My friend doesn’t come out even though he is treated like this. Are they all just cowards?”
“April.”
“No. I understand. Praise again Originally, cowards survive long. However.”
April placed her hand on the wall of the mansion.
“… I just kind of hate cowards.”
The hand on the wall glowed white, and at the same time the entire mansion rapidly heated up.
There was even a haze rising.
“… !”
Trixie tried to forcefully remove her hand, but April took her own one beat faster.
“Tricksy, it’s just a joke. A joke. How about saying hello?”
“… Please don’t do that again.”
“What are you going to do if that happens again? By the way, don’t you have the least ego? Won’t you come out to the end even in this situation?”
Just then.
The clear sound of shoes that pierce your ears.
Ddubeok─ Ddubeok─
The gait that kept a certain beat seemed to tilt the weight of the space.
Ddubeok─ Ddubeok─
A fragrance that shimmers at the tip of the nose with a sense of luxury. A tall man was walking towards this place from afar.
It seemed that only his surroundings were a different world. That aura spread around and cut off the previous atmosphere.
Luxurious chandelier in Fritz’s mansion.
Red eyes shimmer on the man’s face as he walks in the light. The bridge of her nose and jawline are as nimble as cutting paper.
The man who robbed other people’s attention as if it was natural, she deserves to be called ‘precious’.
He stood next to Trixie.
Looking down at the blue girl, he utters a caring tone.
“Did you wait a long time?”
It was a very short word, but it was a very appropriate remark to rescue Trixie from trouble.
“….”
April looked at her man, lost for words. I closely examine every corner of the man, enough to be described as ‘dismantling’.
Within a moment, April’s neck goes numb.
She couldn’t take her eyes off Flan for a moment, and she couldn’t even blink her eyes.
“….”
April is like that at some point.
Quietly, I brushed the hair on the side of me behind her ear.
Bro is the rizzler
She got rizzzedddddd lmaoooooo
