"By the way, brother, about the ring you gave Luo Qi just now..."
At a loss for words for a moment, Fiona recalled the brief scene between Anvis and Roach. At this moment, she suddenly understood the reason why Roach had been lost before.
Looking at Anvis' profile quietly, the girl blinked her big lake-blue eyes twice and suddenly spoke.
"Brother, don't you hope that Roach and I will get too close?"
I'm worried about the damn fate that will forcibly bind you together.
Muttering in his mind, Anvis cut a piece of ice dragon steak and glanced at her.
He was not surprised that Fiona noticed this.
The girl is not stupid. Due to the enhanced life level brought by the legendary bloodline, Fiona is actually very smart in terms of intelligence alone.
It's a pity that she doesn't usually use her brain very much.
Inserting the cut piece of meat into his mouth, Avis shook his head slightly and did not directly answer Fiona's question. Instead, he spoke in a calm tone that made the girl's heart skip a beat.
"Fei, do you know what my father ordered me in the letter Leonard sent me?"
"How...how did you say that?"
Hearing this, the girl immediately forgot about Roach's matter and looked at Anvis with an alert look on her face. Even her light blond hair began to brighten.
"When you arrive at Pamir Academy, I will be solely responsible for providing you with behavioral 'teaching'."
Holding out a finger and emphasizing the word 'teaching', Anvis showed a kind smile.
"Dear Fei, I think you should understand what your father means. So, please behave more ladylike outside, at least don't let your kitten compare you to you."
"Uh...Kate, that's it! That's the end of your training for today!"
Looking at Kate, Fiona was stunned for a moment, then quickly lifted it up with her upper body and stretched it into a long strip.
"Meow……?"
Suddenly being lifted up by the girl, Kate meowed in confusion, not knowing why.
Is there anything it did wrong?
"...I'm asking you to pay attention to your manners. I'm not really asking you to compete with it. Stop bullying your kitten."
Anvis reluctantly used his spiritual power and gently knocked on the girl's head.
"Woo-"
The latter instinctively raised his hands to cover his head and stared at Anvis angrily.
"As for what you said just now, I don't want you to get too close to Roach, that's true."
However, after finishing the knocking, Anvis did not continue to respond to her. Instead, his face became slightly serious and he explained to the girl what was hidden behind it.
"Although you only took Anne with you last year, there are actually family guards guarding us secretly at all times.
Therefore, my father has actually already known about your encounter with Roach and the fact that you gave him a bunch of fruits."
"The noble lady gave fruit to a commoner boy. Although it is not in line with the etiquette of a lady, it can be said to be close to the people. It is not a big deal."
"But after he gave you a magic straw on the floating ship and you accepted it, the nature of the matter changed."
Taking a sip of the juice, Anvis shook the clear crystal cup, looked at the girl's somewhat confused expression, and explained carefully.
"The identity gap between you and him is too big. If he continues to come to you in the future, it will have a very negative impact on your reputation.
And after you leave Yuelin Castle, what you do not only represents yourself, but also represents the will of the Olivendi family."
"Actually, my father may have already made arrangements for this matter."
With that said, Anvis put down the cup and smiled.
"If I hadn't done this before, then those who went to warn Roach would have become members of the family. And, due to their different identities, they wouldn't be able to persuade your little friend to leave as gently as I can."
"As for the method that the family will take, I think it is probably to arrange for a high-level professional to tell Roach your specific identity, warn him to stay away from you, and give him some treasures as compensation."
After exhaling, Anvis paused and sounded serious.
"So, Fei, have you ever thought about it? If because of your actions, Roach finally chooses to ignore the family's warning and continue to come to you, what will your father do?"
"Hmm?...You will think that he is brave and passed the test and allow him to come and play with me?"
The girl searched hard and finally gave a somewhat uncertain answer.
The picture albums she had read were all about princes and princesses, and the most common ones were about down-and-out aristocratic daughters.
Fiona thought about it, but she didn't expect any book to contain stories about commoners and noble girls. She could only think of the royal plot of a brave man bravely entering the dragon's castle and saving the princess.
"...Thankfully your etiquette instructor is not here, otherwise, you would be in trouble now."
Looking at the sparkling little one in front of him, at this moment, Anvis suddenly somewhat understood the feelings of the girl's etiquette instructor.
"She should have told you that due to the gap in status and between aristocrats and commoners of different genders, especially if a noble daughter and a commoner boy get too close, it will only be the beginning of tragedy."
Putting his right hand on his forehead, Anvis breathed out softly.
Then, he slowly spread his hands and said a slightly realistic and cruel result.
"For the sake of the reputation of the nobles, the common people will disappear permanently from the lives of the other parties -"
"If I didn't stop him and let Roach continue to find ways to find you, then soon you would never see him again."
As one of the four major families in the empire, it would not be easy to deal with a new Pamir who was born as a commoner.
Arrange several high-risk tasks, or cause an 'experimental accident'.
Because "things happen for a reason," even if the Pamir Academy wants to pursue the matter afterwards, they can't say anything about it.
Because this is the default rule among the upper-class circles of the empire.
"But... I obviously just don't want to refuse his kindness."
Fiona's lake-blue eyes widened in disbelief, the expression on her face suddenly froze, and her mouth opened slightly with deep shock and astonishment.
Looking at the girl who was becoming a little depressed and even the light in her hair was starting to dim, Anvis' complexion softened again.
"So, Fei, I hope you can understand something.
In this world, nothing exists independently. Every choice you make will lead to corresponding consequences.
After all, the outside world is not as simple as in the castle—"
.….….
After finishing a slightly heavy lunch, Avis took Fiona to receive the freshman identity card and selected two independent first-level residences in the mission hall.
The time for the secondary residence he rented last year has also come, and we just happened to move together.
Compared with second-level independent residences, first-level independent residences have many advantages, such as larger courtyard areas, more luxurious multi-story villa buildings, and special magical arrangements such as independent magic springs and arcane gardens.
But relatively, the price is ten times more expensive than second-level accommodation, and it requires a full 500 credits a year.
Although it is difficult to obtain credits, if even he, the son of an imperial duke, cannot afford to live there, then there are probably not many people in the entire Pamir who can afford it.
Anvis' residence was chosen next to the girl's residence so that it would be convenient to take care of her.
After handing her the daily necessities prepared by her family and giving a thousand credits to the girl as pocket money, Anvis allowed her to move around freely and familiarize herself with the college environment.
