There are still twenty-nine days before he leaves Yuelin Fort.
Anvis was sitting in the library reading magic knowledge as usual.
But today, there is an additional factor that is different from usual...
"Ah - so boring!"
Lying down on the soft long sofa, Fiona closed the book in her hand hard and threw away the "Inscription Magic Circle - Binding" that gave her a headache.
The whole person turned over without any image, and his whole body was full of despair.
The book she threw did not fall to the ground, but hovered in mid-air after drawing a parabola.
A light cyan magical aura lit up from the number on the spine of the book. Under the influence of the invisible magical effect, the thick book returned to its original position on its own.
"This is the third time you've said that today, Fee."
Anvis raised his head slightly, glanced at the girl slumped on the sofa with his blue eyes, and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
Hearing his words, Fiona did not respond, but rolled her eyes at him feebly.
Just like a salted fish that has just been processed and is being spread out in the sun to dry...
Anvis shook his head, expressed regret for the girl's reaction, and then continued to turn the book in his hand to the next page.
The cause of this phenomenon stems from a practical study session that the two of them participated in a few days ago.
The actual combat project is a learning content that the two start after the first level, and is taught by the Duke himself.
Near the end, Fiona accidentally asked a very vulgar question.
The answer to this question should have been discussed as important knowledge in the inscription course last November.
Although Avis immediately offered to help her remedy the situation when he realized something was wrong, the Duke still became suspicious and casually asked a few relevant questions to test her.
As a result... the progress of the girl's inscription study was in a mess. Anvis tried to help her, but in the end he also got involved.
As punishment, the two were grounded for half a month. During their free time every day, they could only read in the family library.
For Avis, this is no different from normal life. But for the lively and active Fiona, this is tantamount to the harshest punishment.
In the first few days, the situation was better. Fiona could barely control her temper and read the 'boring' magic knowledge.
But as time goes by, there are more and more incidents of young girls giving up their wives.
"Dad will definitely ask some questions in the next practical class to test our learning progress."
While reading the book, Anvis spoke as if casually.
"If something goes wrong again, my dear sister - I'm afraid you will be punished not just to this extent."
"I - don't - care! Anyway, I don't want to read those annoying inscription knowledge anymore!!!"
The girl murmured softly, lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, her pink mouth pouted high, and her cute light blue bow swaying.
Although she said this, her eyes secretly opened a small slit, and she looked at Anvis quietly, as if she was expecting something.
"Oh, in that case, you should take a rest first--"
Anvis agreed calmly and then continued reading.
When she didn't get the answer she wanted, the salty fish girl turned over angrily and turned herself into a position lying on her back on the sofa.
The big lake-like eyes rolled and stared hard at Anvis' side face.
"...It seems like there is some kind of evil eye watching me."
Feeling the substantial gaze, the corners of Anvis's eyes twitched slightly, and the movements of his hands stiffened unnaturally.
Damn it! She has mental energy mixed in her gaze!
Slowly, the uncomfortable feeling became stronger and stronger, which caused Avis's reading efficiency to drop significantly.
"Why--"
Anvis sighed softly, took out a bronze bookmark from the drawer, and clipped it to the current page. Then he closed the book "Pluck the String of Destiny" in his hand and placed it on the table.
He patted his face gently, put on a slightly helpless smile, turned around and looked at the girl on the sofa, and his tone became softer.
"Okay, Fee, how about I tell you a story?"
"Hmm~?"
Hearing Anvis' words, Fiona turned over again, holding her chin in her hands, staring at him pretending to be innocent with her beautiful big lake-blue eyes.
Two little feet wrapped in white socks were raised up behind her back, swaying playfully back and forth.
"Brother, what did you say~?"
"I said, want, no, want to hear me tell a story?"
Anvis still maintained a smile, but his eyebrows were raised slightly, and he inadvertently clenched his right fist with his left hand. He looked at the pretentious girl with a hint of danger in his tone.
"Of course, if you don't want to, forget it——"
"Yeah!"
The girl nodded quickly, with an innocent and cute smile on her face, but a little pride in her eyes betrayed her.
Hehe, the plan works~~!
In the past, Anvis would occasionally tell Fiona some stories, which were very novel and interesting and had never been heard by young girls.
For example, Little Red Riding Hood ate the attacking wolf, and then fought with the mastermind behind the scenes, the starry sky shook, and all flesh was wiped out.
Then the aftermath of the war attracted the Star Hunters, who transformed them into Star Familia, starting an eternal battle of fate, etc...
However, Anvis would not finish the story every time, but would only tell half or even one-third at a time, which often made Fiona extremely curious about the subsequent development of the story.
For this reason, she also went to the biography section of the library to try to find the stories Anvis had told.
But in the end, she was surprised to find that the story Anvis told her was not even included in the family library!
She went to ask Anvis about the origin of his stories, and Anvis, who was reading a book, told her very naturally that these stories were all his own creations based on the books he had read, and said in an understatement that it was nothing.
From that moment on, Fiona began to admire Avis.
Looking at the little girl who was still complacent, Anvis didn't criticize her. He moved the chair next to the girl and sat down. He smiled and started telling a brand new story that the girl had never heard before.
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl, her name was Fiona. She was as old as you and as tall as you. She had the same pure blue eyes as a lake and as bright as the sun.
Long golden hair.
On a midsummer afternoon, after finishing her day's classes, she went to play in the wilderness not far from her home.
There are lavender hyacinths, blue rosemary and white bellflowers in full bloom.
A clear river flows out of the forest on one side, gurgling through the vibrant wilderness, and merges into a huge sapphire-like lake in the distance. There are also several thick mangul willows growing leisurely by the river.
