268. Two girls
Merlin University.
Merlin University is the best school in Wharton, no, the best university in England, and maybe even the best university in the continent.
Merlin University and Wharton University parted ways many years ago. Both were originally schools established by Merlin. However, countless years later, Wharton University chose to serve a large amount of basic education, while Merlin University focused on elite training.
Nelly never thought that she would enter this great university.
However, even if she did not replace her original surname, Marquis Newell was not angry because of it. Instead, he tried his best to send Nelly to this school.
She is the granddaughter of Marquis Newell.
But she still misses the days in that small town even more.
Living a simple life every day, my father would buy some venison from Hewen to make a good dinner from time to time, my mother would chat about trivial things every day, and my younger brother would also run around the town.
To be honest, of course Nelly also likes a rich and comfortable life. Although she doesn’t like tedious social interactions, she doesn’t dislike it. She has enough disposable pocket money every day, and she can enjoy delicious food that she could not imagine in her previous life, and wear beautiful clothes.
Luxurious expensive clothing.
There is nothing wrong with all this, but she still misses the past, when she could see her father as long as she came home. Her mother did not attend various tea parties and banquets like now, and her words became more and more strange, and her brother did not follow her around all day.
Guys of the same age hang out and look at all those with lower status than him with arrogant eyes.
Nelly knew that her mother was sacrificing herself for them, but the way Jimmy looked at others made her feel uncomfortable.
If the former Jimmy appeared in front of the current Jimmy, he would definitely be looked down upon.
Nelly could understand that her younger brother had just come to a strange new environment. On the one hand, the people around him now were powerful and knew many things that he could not understand, which made him feel fearful and inferior. On the other hand, his grandfather's doting
This fueled his younger brother's arrogance, causing him to constantly bite everything around him at the fearful cub, roaring outwards with bravado, in order to cover up his inferiority complex.
Even though Nellie knew it, she couldn't change anything.
That's the thing about people, until he grows up, he can never realize his mistakes, and no one can make another person grow up easily.
There is only pain.
Nelly is not worried about her brother getting hurt.
She is afraid that her brother will hurt others.
Unlike her brother who has always stayed in the town, Nelly once studied in a high school in the city, so she knew very well how terrifying behemoths truly powerful people are to civilians.
Just a joke-like act can destroy an ordinary child's spirit and future.
This is what power has.
She tried talking to her mother and grandfather about this, but they couldn't listen to a little girl.
Nelly sighed, looked at the ax in front of the bed, took it in her hand and played with it gently.
Then she gently dropped the ax freely, let it spin a few times in mid-air, and caught it easily.
This was a gift from Hevin to his mother, but her mother soon realized that keeping the ax would affect other nobles' opinions of her. She originally wanted to seal the ax forever, but Nelly stopped her mother.
She asked her mother for the ax, and Rebecca wanted to refuse, but Nellie said that carrying the ax might protect her from evil, so her mother gave the ax to her after much hesitation.
Nelly looked at the ax in fascination:
"It seems that only you and I have not changed."
Now her mother is the only child of the Marquis of Newell, and Jimmy is the heir of the Marquis of Taylor. They are both busy with various political interactions, and only Nelly has been left aside. She is the most insignificant one.
She doesn't hate feeling insignificant, she just fears it.
She was afraid that one day when she returned home, she would not recognize her mother and brother.
If that time comes, where will her home be?
Nelly didn't know the answer, but she didn't expect one either.
Nelly put the ax back on the bedside, stood up, tied her tail into a ponytail, and arranged her clothes.
Then she left the dormitory and walked to the auditorium.
She heard that the school invited a big shot to give a speech, but she heard that this big shot was not a person with profound academic attainments.
"Nellie."
"Hi, Nelly."
"Sister Lester."
There were many people greeting Nelly when she walked on the road, which was not surprising, after all, she was somewhat of a "popular figure" in school.
In fact, it wasn't a big deal. She just represented Merlin University in the spear-throwing competition at the England University Sports Exchange Meeting. Not only did she defeat all the other students, she also broke the exchange meeting's shooting record.
She practiced throwing axes when she was bored.
Moreover, she has achieved good results in fencing competitions, riding competitions, and women's fighting competitions, which are also sports.
Many people say that the Taylor family will produce an excellent guardian knight.
As for what to protect?
Of course it is the safety of Jimmy, the next Marquis of the Taylor family.
Nelly laughed to herself, pushed open the back door of the auditorium, and sat down quietly.
The person on the stage is also a girl. She doesn't look much older than Nelly, but there is a reason why she can stand on it.
The white-haired girl joined the White Dragon Knights at a young age, and also served as the honorary deputy leader. Although she did not have the actual power of the deputy leader, it was quite amazing to have this status at such a young age.
Not to mention that Miss Enid Pendragon’s mother is the current Justice of the House of Lords. If Nelly’s predictions turn out to be true, Miss Knight’s career will definitely be smooth sailing.
"...Maybe some of you will envy my achievements and family today, but in my opinion, the future actually belongs to you..."
Nelly only stood up after ten seconds.
It's all just stage talk.
Nelly walked straight to the back door.
Before opening the door, she turned around and glanced at the girl on the stage.
Even she didn't believe what she said.
No.
She hated herself for saying these words.
