Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 152 Past rights and wrongs·Determination to pursue the truth
  "How...how could this happen...!"

Faced with Xila's above-mentioned statement that did not sound like a lie, Qiaoceline subconsciously wanted to say something to refute, but the scenes that happened not long ago confirmed to her the credibility of Xila's words without exception.

Is this really what happened...?
  Am I really that useless and untrustworthy in my father's heart...?
  ……

A series of questions that she had never thought of before quietly passed through Qiaoceline's heart, causing her to fall into an unprecedented struggle.

[If there hadn’t been yesterday’s episode, maybe your father would still be looking forward to your growth. But it’s too late to say this now, because everything has already happened...]

Xiela sighed with regret, and soon followed Qiaocelin in silence.

Time passed quietly between the two of them in silence. It was not until a new knock on the door came that the clouds in Qiaocelin's heart began to dissipate a little.

"Corina, what's going on?"

After briefly adjusting her mood, Qiaocelin immediately put away the frustrated expression on her face and calmly asked the owner of the knock on the door.

"Today's dinner is ready. Please prepare it as soon as possible."

The maid Corina responded through the door. Out of caution, she did not do the impolite act of opening the door directly and entering.

"Okay, I know."

Qiaoceline nodded gently, taking a deep breath calmly, and soon walked to the bedroom door as usual, deftly unlocked the shallow magic restrictions on the door, and followed the maid to the home. banquet hall.

"Miss, I don't know if I have the position to tell you the following," the maid Corina quietly slowed down as she approached the long table, and finally said firmly as if she had made up her mind, "But please believe me. , No matter what the master told you before, as a father, he will never hurt his daughter."

"Corina..."

Qiaoceline looked at the maid walking in front of her in disbelief, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"They must have some reasons for concealing it. Of course, if you don't agree with these reasons, you can try to find ways to bypass these restrictions on your own. Although I can't directly provide you with help on this. But if Miss. Corina will definitely cooperate actively if necessary!"

Yes, everything has happened, so what’s the point of thinking about it now? It's better to do more and see if I can resolve some of my father's distrust of me.

"Corina..." Thinking about it, Qiaoceline, who had regained some fighting spirit, glanced at the maid walking in front with mixed emotions, and finally nodded solemnly before entering the sight of other people in the field, "Okay, thank you. You, Corina, I know what I have to do.”

So, at night, when everyone around her gradually fell asleep, Qiaoceline immediately climbed out of bed and did not dare to stop for a moment to find the black hooded robe she had worn to meet Rigel privately in the afternoon. She put it on in a hurry, planning to find out the truth and completely solve the problems around her.

however…

[Wait a minute, you are not suitable to run out from here directly to investigate. After all, you are an upright nobleman. Let’s not say whether you can successfully escape from the secret surveillance of your home guard. Just say that after you successfully escape, how can you be sure that you will definitely be able to find your friend? 】

Qiaoceline had just fastened the last button on her chest when she heard that the mysterious magician Xiela, who had not been seen all night, reappeared in her room at some point.

Without questioning or hesitating, Qiaocelin immediately stopped trying to open the door and leave, and looked back: "Why?" 【Although it is relatively safe for you to go out at this time, it is not absolute. ] Xila paused, and then continued to warn in a serious tone, [Don't forget, this is the second day of your strict surveillance. What's more, in the afternoon conversation, your father told you to keep it a secret. On the day of the incident, you wanted to go against his will. Do you think he didn't notice it? 】

"But..." Qiaoceline endured it, but in the end she couldn't hold back her anxious mood, and tried her best to lower her voice and asked, "But if I don't take action tonight, I may not be able to get the most real information at the first time. The situation is..."

[Then what do you think is the real situation? 】

Shira continued to ask.

"this…"

After being asked this question, Qiao Silin, who had previously been convinced of her own ideas, was suddenly not so sure, and had no choice but to swallow back all the subsequent words without confidence.

【right? Since you have missed the afternoon scene, the information you can obtain will not change much whether it is in the evening, tomorrow, or a week later. So, take a good rest and wait until this matter subsides and then find out more about it from your friend. 】

"All right…!"

Qiaoceline reluctantly agreed, reluctantly unbuttoning her chest, taking off the hooded robe that covered her face, and lay back on the bed.

Another week passed like this as Qiaoceline waited anxiously and nervously.

In the meantime, although there were several times, Qiaoceline wanted to go straight to the destination and ask for the ins and outs of the matter regardless of possible danger factors. In the end, she slowly gave up the idea under the repeated persuasion of Xila and herself.

【You can take action tonight! 】

As the last ray of light in the sky gradually sank into the horizon, Qiaocelin finally waited for her opportunity.

So, without hesitation, Qiaoceline quickly changed into her casual clothes for going out and put on a hooded robe. She walked very lightly around the maid and housekeeper's rest room, successfully escaping the surveillance of two people close to her. scope.

"Huh, it's so dangerous...!"

After a quick glance at the two rooms on both sides of the corridor, Qiaoceline, who was standing at the stairway on the third floor of her home, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she repeated the process without stopping for a moment, doing it lightly. After confirming the conditions of the remaining two floors, we walked to the main entrance of the house.

[Okay, you can try the method I taught you. As long as you successfully hide through the door, you can get the information you have always wanted to know. Come on, let's get started. 】

Xila calmly continued to guide the girl in the dim environment.

"it is good!"

Qiaocelin nodded solemnly, then took a few steps back, searching for the memory fragments that she had tried repeatedly in her mind. Set up a blue magic circle in front of her, weaving a barrier-type [sound isolation] magic around everything around her, including her and the door, which can temporarily isolate all sounds within the range...

　Modified a little bit...
