Dragon and Dessert House

"Have you heard the rumor?"

There are a large number of students clustered in front of the bulletin board of the admission list.Among the large number of students admitted by the Royal Academy every year, the most eye-catching ones are royal nobles with high family status.Among the students with the highest grades, students from prominent families who are expected to become successors have also become the focus of attention.

"The adopted son of the Ward family."

"Ward?"

"It's the nobleman from the countryside. It seems that he has made great contributions to disaster relief a few years ago, and the head of the family was granted the title of Marquis."

No matter where you stand, there are always gossips coming from around.The boy impatiently looked away from the bulletin board and walked towards the church where the assembly was held.

But this walk attracted many people's attention.

The boy is about 16 years old, with a hint of handsomeness underneath his pure and childish face.His steady steps are fast, but his figure is straight and elegant.Such a glorious young man is cold and indifferent, with a serious expression on his face.And behind the boy, followed by another boy of similar age.Compared with the serious-looking boy, his skin is a healthy wheat color, and his height is much taller than the former.

"That's the man." Whispering, "Sill Ward, the adopted son of the Ward family. Followed by Minnie Ward, this person is the orthodox successor of the Ward family."

"That is to say, the adopted son is much better than the eldest son?"

"Hehehe."

No matter where the low laughter goes, it is hard to avoid hearing it.Hill's tense face showed a pale consciousness, but his skin used to be fair, and the slight changes were always hard to discern.

"Never mind, Hill."

Minnie patted Hill on the shoulder, trying to make him relax.

Hill nodded, and deliberately avoided the crowd after entering the church, and walked to a slightly quieter corner, 【Migne is the one, are you not angry when they say that about you? 】

Minnie pursed her mouth and scratched her head indifferently.Arguing with those who can only talk is a waste of time, "I don't care, it's a fact that you have better grades than me, right, the top student in the entrance test?"

[I failed the debate]

Hill held the quill and quickly wrote on the palm-sized notebook.

This black quill was Fife's Christmas gift to Hill. It was made from the feathers of a black-feathered griffin. No matter how you write, the ink will flow out continuously and will never dry up.

"Because you don't speak at all." Minie felt a little regretful: "Your aphonia has been cured, why do you still refuse to speak?"

【I'm not used to it yet, sorry】

Four years ago, Hill, who was about to leave Ayersland, tried his best to call the name of "Faffnah", but ended in failure.Since then, Hill has gradually discovered that he can make a weak voice.Taking this as an opportunity, Hill is now able to speak fluently, but still cannot get rid of the habit of writing.

"It's okay, I can understand you." Minie said with a grinning grin, "I'll beat anyone who has an opinion." After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, showing off his strong muscles.

Hill laughed softly, the indelible childishness on his face made him very cute.

Minnie was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned her head and coughed lightly.

"?" Hill stopped smiling, and looked suspiciously at Minnie's turned face.This serious look is very much like the dragon god Fafna.

It wasn't just this time that Minie had an illusion.Whether it's walking posture, focused expression, or any subtle living habits, there will be subtle overlaps with Fafena.Minie didn't know much about Fafnir, but he could clearly sense that Hill was imitating Fafnir intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the name Fafnir seemed to have become a forbidden word in front of Hill.

【The teacher has come】

Hill pushed Minnie several times without getting a response, and shook the note in front of him for a long time before pulling back Minie who was distracted.

"Oops." Minnie realized something was wrong, and hurriedly dragged Hill to find a free place to sit down.Hill was being dragged by the sleeves and shuttled through the crowd. Suddenly, a familiar scene appeared in front of him. Hill resolutely stopped and looked around.

Mr. Fafnir?

The extremely familiar gentle atmosphere was quickly overwhelmed by crowds of students. Hill looked at the crowd blankly, looking for the last sliver of hope for his momentary illusion.

... Mr. Fafnir will not appear here.

Hill looked a little disappointed.

"Hill, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?" Minie pushed aside the crowd and asked.

Hill shook his head and told Minnie with his eyes that he was fine.

The two found a vacant seat and sat down. Not long after, the students who stayed outside the church entered the hall one after another to take their seats.The bell rang, and the important ceremony of welcoming the new students officially began.

During the speech, Hill always felt a little anxious.I don't know if it's because of the regret of missing Fife just now, Hill still can't calm down, and he can't even hear the chattering words of Minnie beside him.

The welcoming ceremony for new students was over, and the students left the hall one after another.

"Let's go too." Minnie stood up and called Hill to leave. As soon as Hill left his seat, he noticed a special gaze cast on him.Hill looked around, but couldn't find the owner of his sight in the flowing crowd.

... Is Mr. Fafnir really not there?

Hill was puzzled. Seeing that his expression was not right, Minnie asked worriedly, "You are not feeling well?"

Hill shook his head, supported Minnie's arm to stand up straight, pinched the silver edge of the black feather pen with his slender fingers, and quickly wrote: [Back to the dormitory]

"Oh...um! Good."

Minnie was confused and looked around.Most of the people have dispersed, and the remaining teachers are too busy with their work to care about others.Since entering the hall, Hill has been paying attention to his surroundings. What happened?

The college is an all-boarding system, and there are several maids and deacons in the school to take care of the daily life of the students.But because many students come from famous families, the school will allow the students to hire one or two servants to take care of their daily life.The Ward family's reputation has increased greatly over the years. Migne originally wanted to take a few servants in the family to school together, so as to show off himself, but after hearing that the old housekeeper Ron asked to go with him, he restrained his thoughts.

Not having a servant means that many things must be done by yourself.

When Minnie saw the piles of luggage outside the dormitory door, he sighed heavily.

Even if you don't ask a servant to show off your family, there should be someone to carry your luggage to the room for you!

【I went up first】

Just as Minnie was complaining, Hill put a sticky note on him as if nothing had happened, and went upstairs with his only two cardboard boxes.

After Hill found the house number, entered the room, leaned against the door following Minnie who was upstairs, and sighed in disbelief, "Hill, you have too little luggage!"

【You have too many things】

Hill unceremoniously condemned Migne, and at the same time bent down, carefully measuring the area of ​​the room.Minnie watched Hill crawling on the ground in a daze, and as soon as he leaned forward, he was bumped into by Hill who raised his head.Clutching his sore chin, Minnie took two steps back. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, he simply sat down on the ground, "Hill, what are you doing?!"

【Boundary】

Hill wrote blankly, 【Don't push your things to my side】

"Hey, we are brothers, right? Do brothers need to worry about such trivial things?!" Minnie wailed while holding her head in pain. As soon as she finished speaking, a female voice came from the main hall on the first floor: "The luggage on the first floor is still there. Who hasn't moved away? Hurry up, it's in the way of the kitchen!"

"I'm very sorry, ma'am." Migne had no choice but to run downstairs, "There are no servants who are free to carry these luggage..."

Hill left the room, leaned on the fence and listened to the conversation between Migne and the woman on the first floor, and moved his gaze to the door blocked by the suitcase.That's the kitchen... Hill couldn't help but walked downstairs and sniffed around the door.

There is no refreshing wheat aroma, and no burnt coals.The kitchen has not been used in a long time.

I really want to go in and have a look.

Hill was about to move, and saw that Minie and the woman didn't seem to be paying attention to him at all, so he took off his leather shoes, stepped directly on Minie's suitcase, and nimbly crawled into the kitchen.
