Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 722 Orles' Home

The farce in the coffee shop ended quickly after the police arrived. The other party had complacently thought that the police would stand on his side and scold Tilan for using her supernatural powers to disrupt public order and tease others in a downtown area. However, she did not expect that the police would come and take them away without asking any questions, put them in the police car and left. Before leaving, they even bent down to apologize to the girl sitting at the table by the window.

“Why? Is this the privilege of the powerful in the Central Star Region? This is not fair!” The other party was still shouting in the police car.

"Shut up." The accompanying policeman interrupted his shouting.

"If that person hadn't let it go, you would have gone to jail." He really couldn't bear to see it.

"What? It was clearly me who was teased and bullied by the other party, but in the end it was still my fault?" He was still not convinced. He felt that he was just chatting up a girl at most, how could it be considered illegal.

"Let's not talk about the whole process. The cafe has surveillance records. The look on your face afterwards was not friendly at all, young man." A policeman said with a smile.

"He almost jumped on me. It's true that puberty is reckless."

"Let me be frank. That gentleman's identity is very special. If you really pursue him according to the law, you will be sent to the court. The interrogator there will give you nightmares for years. If you don't want to get into trouble, just forget about what happened today."

"Also, I know the family you come from, and I also know that your company is now a popular emerging force. However, even Miss Xiang Ke'er, whom you follow, would not act recklessly in front of that adult. Do you understand the seriousness of the matter?"

"How is that possible? Lady Xiang Ke'er is a singer canonized by the Federation, unless..." He got stuck in the middle of his sentence, as if he realized something.

"This is impossible." He suddenly lost his momentum and became a little scared.

Although their family was one of Xiang Ke'er's important supporters, even if his father went to see the singer, he had to prepare a lot and be very cautious. As a member of the family with a low ranking and weak strength, he was generally excluded from the decision-making level and had no chance to meet Lady Xiang Ke'er up close.

If Lady Xiang Keer knew about this, the entire family might be implicated. After all, everything they have now is not irreplaceable to that lady the singing girl, and the production patent of that new instrument has always been in the hands of someone that Lady Xiang Keer trusts more. They have only obtained authorization to produce it.

"You are trying to scare me. How could such a big shot sit in such an ordinary coffee shop?" He said that he also felt that this was unreasonable.

"Generally speaking, no, but there are exceptions occasionally. As for safety issues." The policeman at the side recalled the discussion in the internal meeting. The girl may now be a transcendent at the top of Sequence 8. Almost no one can assassinate her.

"Then you don't have to worry."

……

On the other side, Tilan and Orlais continued to walk in the Academy City. She also found the pet shop where she used to work. There have been many changes in the personnel over the years. The young and energetic Lemon Fruit in the past is now married and has become the owner of this shop. The original owner, Lemon Fruit’s brother, went to a distant remote star field for scientific research and exploration to explore new and unknown extraordinary creatures.

"Wow, Zi Jin, you are still so cute." Lemon Fruit came bouncing over in a light dress. Her personality remained the same, just a little more mature.

……

"Where have you been in the past few years after graduation? I still remember the time you were here." Although there are many members coming and going in the store, it is rare to find someone as special as Tilan.

……

"Like my brother, did you go to a remote area to investigate? That was really hard work."

……

"Business has been pretty good in the past few years, and our store has expanded a lot, all thanks to the amazing trainer that Zi Jin introduced to us at the time. He provided a lot of good advice."

……

"Is this your friend? What a beautiful elf lady~" Orlais looked around the store and occasionally touched various small animals.

……

"Do you like this long-eared rabbit? Do you want to raise one~"

……

"You said you like dragons? Unfortunately, our store can't raise supernatural creatures as large as dragons. I guess we can only find them in special breeding gardens. Those big guys are quite dangerous. Even if we raise them, we need a large area."

……

"I have several big tigers here. With their help, it's a lot easier to manage these guys in the store."

After that, the three of them stayed in the store and chatted for a long time before Orlais left reluctantly.

"Remember to come again next time~" Lemon Fruit waved goodbye before leaving.

After walking out of the store, it was getting late and dark. Tilan did not delay any longer and took Ores to their destination, which was the mansion of Harp Crown where Ores' family lived.

Dozens of minutes later, Tilan took Orlais by the hand and stood under the tall white flower door. The door, which looked like a white stone carving, was engraved with gentian flowers and slender sword blades, elegant and beautiful.

'Basketry Flower Sword' is the emblem of the Ice Elf Shitide family. They have always been one of the top three famous families in the entire Ice Elf community. Their names even appear in historical records, which can be traced back to the three major elven kingdoms in the First Era.

"The elves are long-lived, have peaceful ideas and customs, and their internal competition and iteration are relatively slow. Unlike human dynasties, which experience drastic changes in times, many families have been passed down stably even today." This was a historical evaluation that Tilan's teacher mentioned when she was in school. Now it seems to be true to the current situation of the ice elves.

After ringing the doorbell, someone came quickly. When they saw Ores next to Tilan, they were shocked, and then excitedly prepared to welcome the process. They slowly opened the door that had been closed for a long time and let the two enter through the main door.

Generally speaking, the front door of such a large mansion is not open, and people usually go out through the side door. The front door is only opened when distinguished guests are visiting or grand events are being held.

Walking through the square garden paved with bright white floors, there are two rows of maids standing straight on both sides of the road leading to the mansion. They are all ice elves, beautiful in appearance, wearing complicated white skirts with silver edges. Even if they are maids, they are more luxuriously dressed than many wealthy ladies.

When Tilan and Orlais walked by, the maids lifted their skirts and bent to salute respectfully. Their movements were extremely standard and consistent. Even the angles of the toes of their shoes were exactly the same. It gave the illusion of stepping into an ancient palace.

Ores saw the curiosity in the maids' eyes. If she hadn't known that she couldn't move around, she would have walked over to touch and check whether these maids were robots.

The two walked through the long corridor and entered the mansion. The members of the Shitide family who had been waiting for a long time were already waiting at the door. "Welcome Miss Heshia, and..." Everyone saluted politely at first, and then their eyes turned to Orles, with excitement and relief in their expressions.

"Welcome back, Orles."

Perhaps only after losing something do we realize how precious it is. In the years since Orles disappeared, even though the Shitide family used to be quite powerful, it has now faced a sharp decline. The scenes of being the center of attention and support in the past are gone forever, and the family members have also personally experienced the drastic changes in their work and various affairs.

So when the news that Orlais was still alive reached the family, it was no wonder that everyone was so excited and unable to sleep.

Faced with these unfamiliar relatives, Orles was a little hesitant. Although as a singer she could instinctively feel the joy and excitement conveyed by them, she still had some difficulty adapting to suddenly accepting so many intimate relationships.

Seeing that Orlais was hesitant and holding onto Tilan's skirt with one hand, Moander, the head of the family, raised his hand and asked the people behind him to step back for the time being. Then he personally invited the two of them to sit down at the coffee table on one side of the hall.

As the number of people decreased, Orles relaxed a little and was able to look at the other person carefully. Logically, Moander was Orles's father, but the two were only familiar with each other but not close. Tilan remembered that she had also asked Orles this question.

Before Orles became famous, although Moander was also a member of the Shiti family, he was not an important figure. He was probably in the upper-middle class of the family, responsible for some branch businesses. He was busy on weekdays and did not spend much time at home.

Although she did not receive much fatherly love, Orlais had not suffered any hardship since she was a child. After all, she was a child of a large family and grew up under the care of various maids and servants. Her playmates were all new generation heirs of the Shitied family, and their conditions were not bad. Occasionally, other elders in the family would come to teach them some knowledge and experience, so she received an excellent education since she was a child.

The ice elves attach great importance to family affection, and there is no obvious hierarchy within the family. All children of the Shiti family will receive consistent care and education, and only when they reach adulthood will there be some gaps due to the division of duties.

When Orles' talent as a singer was discovered, not only her, but also her father's status in the family rose rapidly because of her daughter. He even succeeded the retired former patriarch ten years ago and became the current patriarch of the Shitiide family. In the past, many business cooperation and political affairs involving Orles as a singer were handled by her father and uncles, which saved Orles a lot of energy, and even after becoming a well-known singer, it was very easy.

After sitting down, the three of them talked about a lot of past events related to Orlais.

"I remember that when Orles was 7 years old, she unconsciously used her ice and snow-related supernatural powers for the first time, turning jelly into harder ice cubes," Moander recalled.

"Later I asked her why she did that, and she said that the jelly would last longer if it was frozen hard, because at that time, the family's education did not allow children to have too many snacks, and she was greedy, so she always had not enough to eat."

Hearing this, Orlais tilted her head, wondering why she was so stupid at the time. The jelly would definitely not taste good if it was frozen hard.

"Although her mother likes Orles, she is also a young lady who doesn't know how to take care of children. After marrying me, she spends more time at parties and outings. Occasionally, when she thinks of Orles, she will give her a lot of gifts and hug her for a while to get closer to her."

"When she was little, Orles was quite lively. Thanks to the good educational environment of her family, she did not become too spoiled. Later, as she grew up and was able to take care of herself, I worried less about her." Moander was a man who focused on his career. Even after discovering Orles' talent as a singer, he did not change his lifestyle too much.

While telling the story, Moander occasionally took out photos of Orlais when she was a child. It can be seen that Orlais began to show her extraordinary beauty from a very young age. However, ice elves are generally handsome, and although her appearance is good-looking, it is not much different from that of her peers.

After saying this, Orlais gradually became interested in her childhood, but her mentality now seemed to be looking at another familiar person, except that person had the same appearance and name as herself.

Seeing that Ores could not remember anything about the past, Moander sighed at the end of his story and lost the desire to continue.

"Never mind. It's a miracle that Orles survived that battle. I can't ask for more." He comforted himself, then rang the bell for the maids to come and change the tea.

"You guys sit here for a while. I'll ask Orles' mother and grandmother to come and see her."

"Ok."

Then he got up and left. About three minutes later, two elf women came over. One of them looked very similar to Orlais, except that her hairstyle was different and her figure was fuller and rounder. As for the other elf woman next to her, she looked much older. Although she looked only in her 30s, her expression and eyes were particularly kind.

"Orles, do you remember your grandma?" She looked at the ice elf girl across the coffee table and leaned slightly closer so that she could see her clearly.

"I don't remember." Ores shook her head. Although the woman in front of her looked familiar to her, she couldn't remember anything.

"Oh..." The old man could only give up and sit down.

Unlike Orles' grandmother, Orles' mother, at first glance, looks just like Orles' sister. The two have very similar looks, except that one is a little plumper and more mature.

"Orles doesn't remember me." She pressed her finger lightly on her chin, then tilted her head to think about it, and took out many high-definition projected photos.

These photos recorded many things that happened between her and Orlesi in the past, such as birthday parties, traveling, sightseeing, swimming, etc. Orlesi in the photos also gradually grew from small to large until she was 18 years old.

It seems that Orles' mother still dotes on her daughter. Although she likes to play, she still takes time every year to take Orles to see the scenery. These activities gradually came to an end only when Orles' talent as a singer was discovered and she entered a professional academy.

The three of them reminisced about the past, and then Orles' mother tried to hug her again, and did not let go for a long time.

"You can stay here from now on, Orlesi. You will gradually become familiar with the place and remember the historical memories of the past." They looked at Orlesi and asked in a pleading tone.

"I, Orlais, can't do it." Orlais shook her head desperately at this moment, and it seemed that she was very reluctant to get along with these strange relatives.

Yes, even if they were Orlais's relatives in the past, so what? Orlais, who had died once, had no memory of the past at all. If she was forced to accept these relationships, she would only feel very awkward and wronged.

Because she can no longer easily be herself, but has to play the person in everyone's memory who has the same name and appearance as herself.

After all, she is no longer the 'Orles' of the past. Now she has not received the care of these relatives, nor has she experienced growing up together. The emotional relationships that were originally so natural have now become extremely oppressive chains.

Seeing that Orlais was a little emotionally unstable, Tilan ended the visit and conversation early and took Orlais out of the huge mansion again.

When the two came out, the ice elf girl could no longer suppress the fear and worry in her heart, and hugged Tilan's arm to talk.

"Wow, Tilan, please don't leave me. Everything there is so strange. It's as if there is a very small girl who looks like me, watching me in secret."

It seemed that she was really scared. Tilan could only constantly comfort her companion beside her shoulder, and she felt that Ores was extremely talented as a singer. She almost intuitively sensed her possible mood and experience in the future.

There were no ghosts or little girls in that mansion, but it was indeed full of traces left by the past 'Olesi'. All these made Olesi feel strange and afraid of being replaced, and she was afraid that her current consciousness would disappear.

Maybe I should look at her with new eyes, otherwise it would be unfair to the present Orlais. She is herself, not a substitute for that familiar figure in the past.
