Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

"Esilia, while they are back in the room, hurry to the kitchen and get a cup!"

The little blond girl holding a bottle of milk nervously put her head to Ecilia's ear, staring at the crack of the door from time to time, and then complained softly: "It's just a bottle of milk, really."

The gray-haired girl in white pajamas nodded heavily, stood up, glanced at the milk in the girl's arms, turned her head and looked firmly at the door.

Opposite the two girls' rooms was Mr. and Mrs. Krall's bedroom.

Aecilia tiptoed to the door, gently held the door handle, stepped back, and applied force with her arms. The door, which was deliberately left ajar, made no sound as expected. The crack in the door gradually widened until it was enough for one person to pass through, and Aecilia turned to look at May.

May gave her an encouraging look.

Aecilia took a deep breath, turned around, controlled her voice, and walked out of the room step by step.

The lighting in the corridor was dim, with only three candlelights within sight. The area outside the light was covered by thick black fog, and there seemed to be a giant beast lurking in it. Aecilia stood at the door of the room, staring at the door opposite - there was no movement. She moved sideways towards the kitchen, holding her right hand on the wall, looking down at the wooden floor under her feet, walking softly and like a kitten.

She gradually disappeared into the darkness. Mei, who peeked at her through the crack of the door, held her breath.

Out of the light, Aecilia walked to the cupboard relying on her clear memory, gently took out a glass, and then, slowly turned around, she heard a scream——

吱!

Under the moonlight, a dark shadow rushed toward her, as if something had hit her chest. Aecilia tried her best to hold back and finally made no sound.

Just a mouse. She understood this fact through the faint light outside the room, but her heart was still beating rapidly uncontrollably.

She shook her hands and took a deep breath for a while before she calmed down.

I don’t know what happened to my clothes.

Traveling through the thick darkness again, she was afraid that on the way out of the room, the Claures pushed May's room away for some reason, and then bumped into Ecilia who came back with a cup - the Claures She has never been allowed to drink May's milk, even though little May herself doesn't mind and even looks forward to her joining the evening milk party - with Senior Andrew on top, this is not a wonderful thing.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Finally reaching the door of the room, she exhaled softly and was about to pull the door handle when she suddenly heard a low gasp behind her——

"You actually sold her degree!"

Aecilia frowned, thinking about the entrance exam that just ended, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

The education system of the Kingdom of Aaron is roughly divided into general education for those aged six to fifteen and professional and technical education for those aged sixteen to twenty. The specialized schools for professional and technical education are further divided into magic and other major categories.

After finishing the general courses, Aecilia concentrated on preparing for the exam and planned to register for the local Lawrence Academy of Magic and Technology entrance exam. She had developed a strong interest in all kinds of flashy magic tricks on TV since she was a child, and had always determined to apply for a magic academy and become a flashy magician - this ideal did not change until the disaster happened.

After the life of being dependent on others began, she began to save money, because she knew that the Kralls were unwilling to send her to an expensive magic college. They would probably just throw her to a non-magical technical college to learn some useful life skills. , in order to find a job with a good salary in the future, or to save tuition.

Lawrence College is just an ordinary local college. She has also dreamed of other famous magic colleges, such as St. Ferguson College of Magical Science and Technology and Urid College of Magical Practice and Application in the capital, or Margaret Magic Theory in Danteton. Colleges... It is rumored that these colleges have their own advantages, but she knows that they have two things in common for her:

1. Far distance

2. The fare is expensive

How expensive is it? When Mrs. Crowle heard her fantasy, she raised the tail of her pipe high, looked at her through her big puffing nostrils, and used her mouth with yellowed teeth to make this fantasy her present day. The funniest joke at the family dinner tonight and the most humorous conversation piece at Lawrence Market tomorrow.

Later, she carefully calculated the money she could save by combining various part-time jobs and studies. If her subsequent work-study income was also included - she could only barely pay for the tuition at Lawrence Institute of Magic and Technology.

Last month, she told the Krall family seriously about her plans. It wasn't until she mentioned "paying the expenses yourself" that Mrs. Krall's brows finally eased. Before she could finish speaking, she received a phone call about playing cards, and hurriedly leave. She turned her head and saw that Mr. Claure had already picked up "Today's Evening News", and only little May looked at her with bright eyes.

……

After coming back to her senses, Aecilia decided to eavesdrop on this corner - if it was a misunderstanding, there was no need to worry, if not -

She didn't know how many times she took a deep breath, moved forward, and put her ear to the door of Mr. and Mrs. Crowler.

"Have you told her?"

"No, hey, leave her alone. I'm telling you, she was sold to the eldest daughter of Mr. Morton's family. That's a wealthy family. How much can you guess?"

"Say it quickly!"

"One - ten thousand silver coins! Enough to feed our family for many years!"

"Did it arrive? Did you pay with virtual currency? Do you need to pay tax? Will anyone check--"

The last note was interrupted before it even finished.

"The account has arrived. The taxes paid by their family have been greeted over there."

"Well, dear Mr. Claure, what do you think of that shawl from the Hawkins family last time?"

"Hahaha, dear, you can have as many as you want! Tomorrow our family will go to the mall to see what we are missing."

……

After she had nothing to do with the content discussed later, Aecilia took two steps back and stared straight at the door. She stepped back and ducked into May's room.

"Esilia, you're back!" Little Mei, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed up to hug her. When she saw the cup in her hand, she took the cup with a smile and ran to pour milk.

"Xiao Mei, don't pour too much, or you won't be able to sleep at night."

Acielia rubbed her head, but May stuck out her tongue at her and poured a full glass of milk into the glass. She was about to hold the glass with both hands and hand it to Acielie. Ya glanced at the milk bottle with only half a bottle of milk left. He quickly stepped forward and took advantage of his height to easily get the milk bottle. He raised his head and drank the milk in one gulp.

A drop or two of milk fell down her neck. She wiped it casually with her fingers, smiled slightly, and looked at the blonde girl.

"Esilia!" Little Mei pouted.

"Mei, children need to have a good night's sleep."

Before little Mei Yi had an attack, she pointed to her chest: "My pajamas are dirty. I have to change them. I have to see Mei lying on the bed before I come back. Also, the glass must be empty. Tomorrow Mei Yi Yi is responsible for putting the cup back in the cupboard unharmed and without alerting anyone - you hear me?"

"heard it!"

Aecilia took down a general school uniform from May's upper bunk. She only has one set of pajamas, but even if she has to sleep in her school uniform, she doesn't want to spend the night with mouse paw prints.
