Not a Witch

When Rupert called out, it attracted many guards at the gate. Soon, everyone gradually realized that the news of Miss Lacey's return spread across the surprised colleagues like wings. spread within the chamber of commerce.There were sounds of running everywhere, and cheers suddenly sounded everywhere.

"Really? Is the eldest lady really back?" An old man with gray hair stood up from the table piled with books and drawings, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Really, it has spread everywhere, and everyone knows about it." An employee in a white shirt with a book between his hands replied excitedly.

"Hurry up, take me to meet Miss Lacey. It's been more than ten years, and I don't know what Missy looks like now, whether she is married or not, and whether she has children. She is probably a mature lady now." .” The old man sighed while walking.

"I think back then, when we fought with the other three families of Tisiphone, after that night, the whole Hopeland was almost wiped out by us."

"You don't know how beautiful Miss Lacey is and how smart she is. Back then, in the chamber of commerce, countless guys secretly admired and liked her."

"However, the eldest lady is not an ordinary person like us. She won't stay in the small place of Carites for a long time. Afterwards, she will go to a distant place. After that, she will only come back with letters, so we can rest assured."

Several people walked through the corridor in the middle of the mansion, and walked quickly to the outside. Looking out from the window next to the corridor, there were figures surging everywhere in the courtyard of the chamber of commerce.

Amidst the noise, a large number of people inside the chamber of commerce crowded towards the gate.

Seeing more and more people in front of him, Lorraine Hill was a little flustered, but it was not easy to stop and separate these excited people.

Just when she was a little at a loss, a clear voice sounded behind her.

"All of you take a few steps back, so that the eldest lady won't be afraid." The head maid in black and white uniform came slowly and stood beside the girl. She pushed the glasses in front of her nose, and scanned the crowd with warning eyes, making Everyone also calmed down slowly.

In the Carites Chamber of Commerce, there is no older and more prestigious employee than the head maid. She made Angus stronger when she was young, and later joined the Chamber of Commerce, which can be said to have witnessed that the Chamber of Commerce has never been To have all the processes.

Seeing the scene gradually quiet down, the head maid bowed beside Lorraine Hill to salute.

"Welcome back, miss."

"Well, you're back again, Chelsea." Looking at the still healthy head maid in front of her, the girl felt a little joy and nostalgia in her heart.

At that time, she had just walked out of the Tixilan Mountains, and she didn't know many things in this world. It was also the head maid who accompanied her to answer questions and teach some details about the management of the chamber of commerce.

After the two chatted about the past, under the protection of a group of guards, Lorraine Hill re-entered the long-awaited chamber of commerce.

It was night, and the Carites Chamber of Commerce was brightly lit, and there were lights and festoons everywhere, and an open-air stage and dining tables were even set up in the central courtyard.

In the resplendent hall, the lacquered night flower chandeliers hanging from the top are extremely bright, and golden candle lights are lit in every corner of the hall.A long table was set on the stone slabs on the ground that were empty in the past, and a purple throne was placed on the main seat at the end of the center.

The main body of the throne is made of soft dark sandalwood, the back of the chair is dark purple like lacquered night flowers, and the center is inlaid with wooden nails like black flowers, embellishing the back of the deep purple chair like stars.

Now the long table is filled with all kinds of sumptuous delicacies, and on both sides are extremely neat square wooden chairs. On both sides of the hall, there are nearly a hundred maids in black and white uniforms. The people who were seated arrived.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the girl who walked into the hall couldn't help but think of the scene when she first arrived in Hoplander that day. It was also that night that she confirmed the identity of Angus' successor in the chamber of commerce and began to take charge of the chamber of commerce.

"Welcome to Mrs. Lacey~" All the maids spoke together, and then showed sincere smiles. Compared with other places, the Carites Chamber of Commerce does provide employees with more secure protection, and it is the same. Everyone sincerely thanks for this Miss Lacey.

Wearing a black and purple lacquered night dress, with golden hair falling on her shoulders, Lorraine Hill walked slowly to the passing throne.Gently touching the object left by Angus, the girl suddenly felt like a dream.

I didn't expect that a chance encounter that year would have such a profound impact later on.

Angus, Elaine, Serres, Chelsea, Jelinek, Rachel, etc., the faces in my memory have gradually blurred over the years, and almost ten years have passed without knowing it.

What will happen in the next ten years? Perhaps by then, some faces will slowly disappear and will never be seen again.

Life is like a journey, always moving forward, always separating.

Sitting securely in this familiar seat, Lorraine Hill looked at the figures beside the table again, some of them were familiar and some were unfamiliar, which made people feel the change of time.

"Let's start the banquet. I hope everyone will have a wonderful night together." Lorraine Hill rarely drank, and she raised a glass of lavender liquid to congratulate everyone.

"Yes, our eternal Miss Lacey."

Everyone seemed to have made an agreement, and they answered in this way, and the figures sitting upright were so proud and proud.

They are members of Carites, and they love this place. This chamber of commerce not only allows them to support their families and have perfect guarantees, but also allows them to find their own value. When entering the water, when a piece of beautiful and durable goods is released, there is always a kind of peace of mind and pride flowing in the chest.

Maybe this eldest lady should not be praised too much, but it is undeniable that without her appearance, this chamber of commerce would have disappeared ten years ago, and they still don't know where they would be.

"Then, let me raise my glass to Lady Lacey again!"

"drink!"

In the hall and courtyard, the laughter and shouts never stopped. Today, after the war, everything has finally settled down.They are no longer moving around to avoid wars as in the past, and now it is finally time to celebrate.

It was night, and the banquet lasted until very late, and Lorraine Hill's fair cheeks were slightly flushed from drinking.She kept listening to everyone talking about the experiences of these years, the events of resistance in the war, the past of those sad relocations in other places, the process of rebuilding on the island, the ecstasy of watching the launch of the warship, and finally returning to Hopland Your peace and joy.

"Thank you for your hard work." Holding an empty wine glass at his waist, Lorraine Hill leaned back on the seat slightly drunk, looking at the crowd sitting in front of him with hazy eyes.During the narration, some people also shed tears slowly, immersed in the emotions of reminiscence and nostalgia.

Finally, the banquet was completely over when a little white was revealed on the horizon.

Afterwards, Lorraine Hill stayed in the chamber of commerce for a while. During the period, the staff of the branch heard the news of her return, and many people came overnight again. Thus, the banquet inside the chamber of commerce lasted for nearly a week before slowly stopping.

Another morning, in a quiet bedroom.

The girl's silver hair was scattered among the pillows, her round shoulders were slightly exposed from the nightdress, and her body was still slightly undulating under the quilt. After a while, when the pale sunlight shone on her face, she opened her eyes. Fluttering eyelashes.

Is it morning?Lorraine Hill rubbed his eyes slightly and sat up from the bed.

Since Chelsea took care of her, she seems to have become a little lazy recently, and she no longer wakes up as early as in the past.

Because the bed is so comfortable, maybe this is the magic power of the quilt, which can seal people inside.

The girl thought to herself, then got out of bed and began to change clothes.

After a while, looking at himself dressed in the mirror, Lorraine Hill nodded slightly, that's all.

I have also stayed in the Carites Chamber of Commerce for nearly half a month, and finally sorted out and dealt with various matters of the Chamber of Commerce, so I can relax for a while.

Today she is going to visit Mrs. Filia, the former music teacher, and bring back the playful Ye Ling and two birds.

After reuniting with Lan Lier, Feng Nai and others that night, considering that she was going to the chamber of commerce, it would be inconvenient for her to bring Ye Ling with her, so she let Ye Ling temporarily stay at Feng Nai's house.At present, Lan Lier and Ling Xin are also living there, because Meilu's house was specially reserved for her in the past. It is very spacious and has a large courtyard and garden, so it is very comfortable.

It is estimated that Ye Ling is playing crazy these days.

The girl looked at herself in the mirror, her silver hair slowly turned golden, and then she rolled it up and tied it with a light red ribbon. After getting ready, Lorraine Hill walked out of the room and finished her breakfast of coconut bread and raspberry juice , got into the carriage, and headed for the former Anemii Chamber of Commerce's residence.

Before going to Filia's teacher, you have to go to Funono's house to meet Lan Lier and the others.

When she got out of the car, she looked up again, and a woman who was also about to visit came into her eyes.The woman was holding an umbrella, wearing a dark green and pure white lace dress, and she was holding a six-year-old child by her hand.

Looking at the mature and soft figure, Lorraine Hill shouted in surprise.

"Melu?"

Looking back, the woman looked at Lorraine Hill, and soon showed a knowing smile.

"Yes, it's me. Long time no see, Lacey."

"Come on, call Sister Lacey." She gently reminded the child beside her.

The little girl with chestnut blond hair hid behind her mother, looked at Lorraine Hill nervously, and walked out slowly after a while.

"Hi sister Lacey."

Chapter 59 Games in the Mansion

"Hello, what's your name?" The girl put her hands on her knees, bent over to look at the little girl, and tried to slow down her voice so as not to scare the little friend.

"I, my name is Pandora." She replied a little nervously, and then trotted to hide behind Mei Lu, grabbing her mother's long skirt, revealing only a small head.

"This child..." Merlu rubbed Pandora's head helplessly, then raised her head to introduce to Lorraine Hill.

"This is my child. His name is Pandora. He is usually a little shy." There was a kind of love and doting in his voice.

"A very beautiful child." Lorraine Hill winked at Pandora, and then answered.

In fact, when I saw this child just now, I was still a little surprised. After all, Feng Nao, Mei Lu, and she were all about the same age at the beginning. When they didn't want to meet again, Mei Lu was already married.

After the two had a brief conversation, they walked towards Funai's residence together. The guard here quickly opened the iron gate when he saw Mei Lu.

"Hi, Mrs. Mellow."

He said hello proficiently, it seems that he usually sees Mei Lu often.But this is normal, Meilu and Feng are friends who grew up together. Even during the turmoil in Hopeland that year, the Anemii family and the Helis family were enemies, and the two wanted to protect each other. , and this feeling has continued to this day.

Now that Feng Nai has returned to Hoplander, if it comes to who she remembers and cares about the most, it is her childhood friend Meilu.

Entering the shady and lush courtyard, you can see flowers and plants blooming everywhere, with different shapes and colors, distributed in the flower beds on both sides, which makes people dizzying.

"Let me lead the way. After all, I come here often, so I'm familiar with it." Mei Lu said in front of her, and at this time she also put away the umbrella in her hand.

"Well, thank you, Melu." Lorraine Hill nodded, turning his eyes lightly, looking at the natural and elegant scenery around him.

"The flowers and plants in these flower beds, as well as the pavilion facilities, are all left by Uncle Noyce."

"When I was young, Uncle Noyce often went on business trips and was busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. Everywhere he went, he would look at the local flowers and plants. If there were any beautiful and favorite ones, he would be brought back and transplanted to the In the garden."

"At that time, I often played here with Feng Nao, so I often accompanied Fu Nao to watch Uncle Noyce bring back those flowers and plants."

"Funnao likes to take pictures of beautiful flowers, and she will be very happy at this time, pulling me and talking non-stop. Although it looks like she is showing off, I know she is usually a little lonely."

"The Anemii family is not like our Helis family. There are many relatives and uncles. Uncle Noyce has no other brothers and sisters. After his wife passed away, he only had Feng Nai as a daughter, so he dotes on him very much. But he usually because of the Chamber of Commerce's I can't stay at home all the time because I want to use this to make up for the disadvantage."

"I didn't understand these things in my early years, but I gradually understood them when I grew up. At that time, he also took good care of me, maybe because I was Feng Nai's rare playmate."

"Uncle Noyce was always a good person in my childhood, until the turmoil broke out that day." Melu raised her head slightly, blocked the sunlight in the shade with her fingers, and stood slightly on the road in the garden.

"There is no way, even the best friends must stand on the opposite side in such a battle."

"I don't know how to evaluate Uncle Noyce. He has a good side to me and a cruel side to the Hellis family. Perhaps this is the complexity of human nature." At this moment, she turned her head.

"Sorry, I seem to have said some irrelevant things on my own, but I always feel a little bit after a long time, and I want to talk to someone. But it's not easy to say these things to Feng Nai, so I can only talk to Lacey."

"In fact, for a long time, including now, Lacey is also my hero." She smiled sincerely.

"Beautiful Lacey, lovely Lacey, mighty Lacey, who came into the world that night like a god, rescued me from the vortex, and helped me, who was hesitant and weak, decisively deal with the family affairs, so that now I have been living lead a happy and secure life.”

"I wanted to say thank you very much, but I never had the chance, and today finally came."

"Thank you Lacey." The voice was flat and full of emotion.

Looking at this mature and beautiful woman, a faint mist appeared in Lorraine Hill's eyes, and she shook her head immediately, looking to one side.

"Actually, it's not that great. I didn't think too much about it at the time." The girl felt a little ashamed. In fact, she didn't bother with these things. At that time, she just thought it would be more convenient, so she did it casually.

"Hehe, Lacey is still like this." Meilu covered her mouth and smiled, and only at this time, she revealed a bit of her playful appearance when she was a girl.

"Okay, it's time for us to go in. If it's later, Penny will probably be preparing lunch. At that time, she will complain to Feng Nao why she didn't tell her in advance, and there will be more people."

The two walked out of the path in the garden one after the other. On the way, Pandora, who was led by Melu, turned her head from time to time, looking at the strange big sister behind her, her pupils were full of curiosity.

Entering the white mansion, several maids greeted them first, and then led the two to a room on the second floor. At this time, Lorraine Hill even heard Yeling's happy voice not far away.

"I will equip the 'Secret Star Mage' on the field with the 'Holy Magic Staff', and then activate the effect of the 'Holy Magic Staff', increasing the attack power by 500 points, and inflicting damage equal to Lan Lier's own attack value when attacking, Lan Li Son's life -2100, reset to zero, declare victory in this round!"

When the two entered the room, they saw Feng Nai, Lan Lier, Ling Xin, and Ye Ling playing a card battle game at the table.Among them, Ye Ling was standing in front of the table with his hips crossed and cheering, indicating that he had won again.The chrysanthemum on top of her also spread its wings and chirped, cheering together.
