Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 156 The past and the mystery at the dinner party (Part )

Fianna Maxwell?
  Yes, even though Qiaoceline had some guesses in her mind before, she was still shocked when the other party actually revealed her identity.

For this lady, what she said was strange was actually not that strange. She was familiar with it because she was a famous natural magician in the East District of Wind before marrying into the Maxwell family. She was also the most famous sage of the wind today. One of the most respected descendants. Strange because in the past few years when she officially started to pay attention to the social world, for some unknown reason, this lady seemed to have disappeared from the world. She rarely showed up. Even if she did show up on major occasions, it was difficult for her to get close to her. The other party, so much so that she failed to get the corresponding information in time...

"If this self-introduction is a bit abrupt, please allow me to apologize for my shallowness, Miss Lifford."

Sensing the disjointedness of the girl's movements, Mrs. Fianna smiled apologetically, and immediately planned to make a formal apology before the attention of the people around her was attracted.

however,
  "No, no, Mrs. Fianna, there is nothing wrong with your etiquette and handling methods. I was the one who was abrupt. Please forgive me for being distracted just now."

Before everything could be put into practice, Qiaoceline quickly calmed down the panic in her heart and made a pause gesture as usual, stopping the situation from deteriorating in time.

"Thank you, Miss Lifford."

Mrs. Fianna still thanked her with a gentle expression.

However, Fiana just smiled softly, did not answer, and then quietly changed the topic.

So Qiaocelin couldn't continue to ask questions, so she could only suppress the questions in her heart for the time being and chat with the lady while walking.

In the middle, the two of them first started talking about today's banquet arrangements to the current popular clothing styles, and then from clothing-related discussions to magic-related discussions. Unknowingly, they really felt like they were somewhat congenial.

"You are such an attentive young lady, Miss Jocelyn. Thank you for your understanding and those lively and interesting topics."

"The same applies to you, dear Lady Fianna."

"Looking forward to meeting you next time, Miss Qiaocelyn."

"Me too, Lady Fianna."

At the end of the chat, Mrs. Fianna saluted Qiaoceline very solemnly, and then quickly walked towards her husband who was waiting quietly not far away.

Ugh…!
  Seeing the two of them getting along harmoniously, Qiaoceline could not help but sigh secretly in her heart, and then quickly withdrew her rude gaze and tried to walk in the direction of her father.

"Thank you so much today, Miss Jocelyn. Please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to you from Fianna's point of view."

After saying that, Bertram, who was a powerful successor to the next head of the Maxwell family, immediately smiled gently and did not stop the advancing girl, nor did he formally thank her in a big way, as if everything was just an accidental encounter between the three of them. A little interlude. No one noticed, no one disturbed.

In this way, time gradually came to an end with Qiaocelin's mixed emotions of either depression or expectation.

In the meantime, no other ladies or ladies came to see her again, and the entire banquet came to an end smoothly.

Watching the guests slowly leave Hobert's house one by one under the reception of the housekeeper, Qiaoceline couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and soon she and her father left Hobert's house under the leadership of the housekeeper.

"What does Lord Bertram want from you tonight?"

On the way home, the head of the Liford family did not hide it and asked directly.

"Nothing..." Qiaoceline shook her head just in time. After realizing that the other party did not look away, she carefully added, "I just chatted with Mrs. Fianna for a while before the banquet started."         That's it..." Li The head of the Fude family nodded slightly, and then asked with a normal expression, "What about the others? Have other people who don't usually have much contact with you ever come to you?"

"No, not really. What's wrong, Father?"

Qiaoceline was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, and asked without any unusual doubts.

"No, it's nothing. Go get some rest early when you get back today. You don't need to worry about other things."

After saying that, without giving Jocelyn a chance to thank her, the head of the Liford family ended the topic himself, and the entire carriage returned to the same silence as before.

But is the whole thing really over? What happened to yesterday's blank space?

After returning home, changing out of her dress and taking a shower, Qiaoceline was just about to turn off the lights and take a rest, but the calendar located in a conspicuous position on her desk once again brought back the unpleasant memories of that morning, which she couldn't help but think about again. She solved the above-mentioned problem that she had ignored for most of the day.

【Finish? It seems to me that the whole thing has just begun. 】

As if to rectify the uneasiness in her heart, the clear and alluring voice that belonged to Sila sounded again in the deserted environment.

"What do you mean?"

Not caring about her thoughts being seen through, Qiaocelin immediately approached the window, gently pushed it open and asked.

[There was something wrong with the dinner party you attended today. Maybe someone had discovered something unusual about you the night before yesterday through secret observation. 】

Xila cleared her throat calmly, adjusted her attitude, and spoke solemnly.

"Ah? Was it discovered? How was it discovered? What should I do? What should I do next? Will this affect my family and my father?"

Qiaoceline's eyes widened in disbelief, and she took several steps back in confusion. Her tone of inquiry also changed, revealing obvious fear and helplessness.

[Why were you discovered? You should ask yourself this. During the banquet in the evening, did you encounter anything strange or take the initiative to reveal some information about yourself? As for how I discovered the abnormality, from the conversation you had with your father when you were about to enter, it was not difficult for me to hear the incongruity in a few of his words. After all, according to your description of your father, your father should be a person who has a cold relationship with you and usually does not take the initiative to interfere with your daily chores. If everything is normal, I don't think he will take the initiative to say something that goes against his character, asking you to go back and rest early! 】

ah! Indeed it is! If it were a normal father, he would never say something like "Let's go to bed early when we get back today."

So what is he trying to remind me of? Or what do you want me to avoid by sleeping?
  Is it...

He knows, does he know that there is a powerful magician with mysterious origins behind me?

Did he mean to keep me away from Sira...?
  Qiaoceline couldn't help but shudder, and was about to close the window to isolate the conversation with Xiela, but at this time, she was horrified to find that the hands that should have belonged to her seemed to have returned to the night two weeks ago, and were separated again. Her control started to move on its own...

　Made some slight modifications!

　　I forgot to thank you yesterday, so I will add it today. Thank you for the 1 diamond of [If you don’t help me, I will explode]. Thank you~
