Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 241 About Rumors

“Leila, you don’t need to care about this…” Melissa was surprised, then she forced a smile and said, “That’s something between us adults.”

"Am I not good enough?"

"Of course not! How could you think that?" Melissa retorted hastily. "Your father and I love you very much—"

"But I see that you have no intention of returning to Tanding County. Grandfather also said that he would help Lucinda find an enlightenment teacher." Leila looked straight at her mother, which clearly meant that she wanted to stay for a long time.

If it were in the past, she would have been so happy that she would go crazy, but when she grew up, she vaguely realized that this might be a problem in her parents' relationship.

Melissa sighed inwardly. It seemed that the idea of waiting for her to grow up and then slowly letting her understand was no longer feasible.

Children always grow up faster than adults imagine.

"Leila, I will probably stay in Dragonfang Castle in the future." Melissa said softly, "You have grown up very well here. I hope your sister can be like you and become a brave, strong, and kind person."

Instead of being like her father. Therefore, James' attitude after Lilith was kidnapped this time made Melissa determined that her child should not grow up with such a cold and selfish father.

"So it's because of Lucinda—" Leila looked down at her little sister.

“Don’t think like that, Leila.” Melissa held her in her arms, not wanting her to vent her anger on her sisters. “This is the result of many reasons, but in the end, it’s because of me. I think I belong here. Maybe when you’re older, you’ll understand.”

Leila seemed to understand, but she wanted to ask more questions, but she was still attached to her mother's warm and fragrant embrace. After a long while, Leila finally spoke -

"Will this make you happier, Mom?"

"Will do."

"Okay, then I'll be happy too." Leila whispered, and hugged the source of warmth beside her tightly, without asking any more questions.

"I want a hug too. I want a hug too." Lucinda looked at her mother and sister hugging each other, and she waved her greasy hands and hugged them both with a smile.

——Maybe we can set off tonight, Leila thought to herself.

……

"Long time no see, Miss Lilith, Happy Hanukkah." A slender and clean hand helped the blonde girl down from the carriage, with a smile on her handsome face.

"Catherine's skirt really obscures your brilliance, and you become even more beautiful." He praised generously.

"Happy New Year, Your Highness Canion." Lilith was wearing a white and green dress today, and she greeted Canion who came to greet her with a smile.

At Melissa and Winston's repeated requests, they stayed in Dragonfang Castle for a few more days until the start of the Knight's Tournament, then returned to Goletia and rushed to Highgarden from there. As soon as they arrived at their destination, they were warmly welcomed by Canion.

Leila had no interest in the princess's brother. She just bowed quietly and walked over to Catherine.

"Sorry, I hope we're not late. Lilith takes so long to go out." Leila did not hesitate to make fun of her sister.

"What a joke! You're the one who's moving too fast. Catherine is obviously faster than me..." Leila glared at her, and Lilith immediately shut down.

When Catherine saw Lilith being suppressed by her sister, her eyes were full of smiles. The depressing and boring life in Highgarden these days finally became lively because of the arrival of the two sisters.

"Please don't say that, Miss Leila." Kanyon smiled. "The word late has never belonged to women. Every step of dressing up carefully takes time, doesn't it? This is not dawdling, this is creating art. If you haven't arrived, I will never let the opening performance start."

Then he took Lilith's gloved hand and put it in his arm, leading her to walk into the venue, his affectionate eyes full of curiosity, "Lilith, I heard that a flying dragon appeared in Dragon Fang Castle. Tell me about it, okay? I don't want to miss any details."

"Haha, it's true! Let me tell you, this vacation is amazing..." The two of them chatted happily and then went their separate ways.

Catherine shook her head helplessly behind her. No wonder this guy was so enthusiastic. Kanien was really crazy about those magical creatures, especially dragons. His room and basement were filled with all kinds of small monsters that looked like dragons but were not. If he knew that the person next to him was a dragonborn, he would scream in surprise or piss his pants in fear.

When I turned around, I found that Leila had a sour look on her face.

"It's time for His Highness Canion to get engaged. He's not young anymore."

Catherine:?

"Not appropriate." Leila made a concise judgment.

"I see." Catherine didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'll ask my father to keep an eye on him in Highgarden. Don't worry."

Canyon had never been engaged because he was also a candidate for her husband, and even in the eyes of some conservatives, he was the best candidate. Therefore, he became Catherine's best shield. With him around, few people bothered her with marriage issues. But she didn't expect that he would make little Leila so vigilant.

After hearing Catherine's assurance, Leila finally put down her pout and nodded obediently. She followed the princess, facing the scrutinizing gazes of the nobles of High Court, and walked into the noisy arena with her head held high.

After Catherine sat down, she saw Canion pulling Lilith to the front of their platform. They leaned against the fence and watched the knights talking in the field. The beautiful young men and women gathered together, very eye-catching, especially the man among them was His Royal Highness Canion, who was loved by the king and queen. No matter how lively the people were coming and going around, he only looked at the girl in front of him with his eyes focused and enthusiastic.

Such preferential treatment attracted the attention of many ladies and actually helped Catherine to take away a lot of the attention.

So a girl in a burgundy dress walked through the crowd, holding a glass of hot wine, and quietly came to Crown Princess Catherine, attracting almost no one's attention.

"This is a newly developed wine, with butter, cream and sugar added. It is hot and very warming to drink. Would you like to try it, Your Highness?" The man handed over the wine glass.

"I'm still a student, Miss Margaret." Catherine finally smiled and looked at the girl beside her.

"That's such a pity. You are old enough to drink in Highgarden." Although Margaret said it was a pity, she obediently placed the wine glass on the low table beside her.

The two of them sat opposite each other. Leila turned around and kept watch behind them. The three of them looked in different directions, taking in all the movements nearby.

"I thought it would take some time before I could see you, Miss Margaret." Catherine showed some satisfaction in her eyes. She didn't expect it to be sooner than she thought...

"Your guess is correct, Your Highness." Margaret wasted no time and spoke quickly and softly.

"Those strange rumors are indeed related to the Knights of Light."
