Princess' personal painter

As for Irene, who could only focus on the food and could barely lift her head, when she thought of her first breast attack in her life, her face seemed to be burning, and she didn't know what to answer. good.What's even worse is that Erica Jacobs didn't seem to care about what happened just now, but instead used it to tease her, which made her feel inexplicably ashamed and angry.

"Irene, don't you have any experience dealing with peers?" Mia Sfante, who seemed to maintain her usual indifference, was quite frank when talking with people, and she would say whatever came to her mind.

...It's not... well, it's because I don't have experience dealing with beautiful girls...

Although Eileen thought so, of course she would not say such embarrassing words.She pursed her lips, raised her head, and explained in a low voice: "In the countryside of Walbye, there is no chance to meet people of the same age, so...Miss Jacob, I'm sorry."

Walbai, who was born in a remote area, is a descendant of the little nobles there. His father died young, and his mother became ill due to thinking. Before she died, she entrusted Irene to her cousin Yannis. Being able to work with pen and paper is the foundation and talent for painting, and it is also the "reason" why she is not good at communicating with people—this is the "identity background" that Yannis fabricated for Erin

"Hey, why are you sorry?" Erica was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help feeling pity for Irene. She restrained her teasing expression and asked gently, "Miss Auerbach seems to have said last time, come here. Karenin's time is only two months?"

"Hmm." Sensing Erica's concerned eyes, Erin suddenly panicked.

"So, you must not have visited many places, right?" Erica suddenly became excited when she thought of something, "It's rare that today is warmer, Miss Stefan, let's take Miss Auerbach to play. Give it a go! Well, speaking of it, there is a puppet show tonight, and I just go to see it, okay?"

...Hey, is this an invitation for a "date"?

Eileen looked at Erica in a daze. The blond girl's smiling face dazzled her eyes a bit.Her thoughts were still a little sluggish for a while, only to hear Mia on the other side blink and ask:

"Hey, Erica, have I been invited too?"

"Miss Sfante, of course." Although she used an intimate tone, Erica's habit of referring to others by their last names gave her a unique characteristic when she spoke.

"But..." After a pause, Mia turned to God's Irene on the other side.For some subtle things, Mia seemed to have a keen observation ability, and she said plainly: "Irene, it seems that I really want to be alone with Erica."

Erica was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Huh? Miss Auerbach...does that think so?"

"Yeah, no!" Suddenly, Mia broke her mind, and Irene's face turned red. She shook her head vigorously, and then glared at Mia, who had a flat face, with angry eyes.

...the iceberg and the girl with a black belly...it's really scary...

After finally confirming Mia's "attribute", Erin decided to keep her at a respectful distance.In comparison, Erica, who was still active and friendly, captured Irene's heart in no time.

...It's impossible to be captured or something...

Finding that her thoughts became a little strange, Erin quickly protested in her heart.

So, the whole afternoon was spent shopping and playing among the three of them.Erin was a little excited at the beginning, wanting to fully enjoy the interaction between girls, but she soon realized the pain of going shopping with girls.

They visited the tailor shop, the jewelry shop, and the cosmetics shop one by one, took a break in the coffee shop, returned to the tailor shop, and repeated the above process three or four times... By dusk, Irene had already shopped a bit. Dizzy, but Erica still looked energetic, and even Mia, who seemed to have no interest, showed no sign of fatigue on her face.

What frustrates Irene is that, except in a certain tailor shop, Irene was dizzy by a gentle female clerk and ordered a princess dress. Ya didn't buy any products.When asked why, Erica smiled and said:

"I'm just looking at it first. If I want something, I can tell my servant to buy it."

Mia on the other side gave an answer in her style: "I don't need it."

As for the matter they had agreed to go to the theater to watch a puppet show, it was because Erica changed her mind and let it go.Because of the missed appointment, Erika blushed with embarrassment, clasped her hands together and said: "Miss Auerbach, Miss Svant... I just remembered that there will be guests at home today, and I don't seem to be able to go Well, I'm so sorry."

When Erica said goodbye in a hurry and left, Mia thought for a while, then turned to look at Erin, who was still staring at the back of the blonde.There was a bit of strangeness in Mia's expression, and she said, "Puppet show, do you still plan to go to see it?"

"Puppet show?" Erin asked subconsciously.

Mia repeated: "Well, the two of us, shall we go and see?"

Irene turned her head when she heard the sound, and looked at this strange girl.The two looked at each other for a while, and Irene saw her own figure in Mia's gray pupils, and seemed to sense the burning heat hidden in the dark gray tone, almost swallowing her slender figure. .

The sudden dangerous breath made Erin subconsciously take a step back.

...The one just now must be an illusion, right?

However, Mia Sfante looked away lightly and turned to the harbor not far away. The blue-gray hair fluttered gently in the cool evening wind.As if sighing lightly, Mia said lightly:

"Next time."

"Hmm." For some reason, Irene was a little afraid to look at Mia.

Mia closed her eyes, and said lightly, "Then, see you in class the day after tomorrow, Erin."

While Mia and Irene bid farewell in a strange atmosphere, Erica Jacobs, who was still walking on the long street, secretly revealed a somewhat melancholy expression as she thought of something.She lowered her head slightly and whispered to herself:

"...I'm really envious."

Chapter 24 The Undercurrent Surges Again

On this vast land named "Euro Continent", the northern area faces the Scalon Sea, showing the shape of the first quarter moon; while in the northeast, a rugged land extending from the continental plate constitutes The long and narrow Skaros Peninsula faces the mainland across the sea.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Anruel, Karenin City is located at the opening in the middle of the first quarter moon area, guarding the mouth of the One River, and is an important trading port in the Skalo Inner Sea.However, over the years, the national strength of the Anruel Kingdom has grown rapidly. While expanding its territory to the south, the economic center of gravity has also shifted from maritime commerce to magic industry.Therefore, compared with the emerging southern urban area, the old port area in the north inevitably gives people a sense of depression and dilapidation.

As dusk deepens, the light of the old port area gradually dims.

The setting sun in the distance spreads the melancholy afterglow on the fluttering blond hair.The girl who was walking alone on the inaccessible road squinted her eyes, listening to the faint sound of the tide coming from the end of the city, her expression could not help but feel serene.

After walking through half of the urban area, she inevitably let down her vigilance when she was about to reach her destination.Amidst the sound of the undulating sea tide, the footsteps of "ta, ta" became more and more clear.The girl's heart was startled suddenly, and when she turned her head, she saw two crooked black shadows walking not far behind, closely following her steps.

The girl's body froze for a moment, and she immediately put aside the elegance and restraint she had maintained during the day, and ran forward with all her strength.Almost at the same time as she started running, the sound of footsteps behind her suddenly became urgent, and the rapid panting sound also showed that the two black shadows were chasing her with all their might.

After only running for a short while, the girl felt a rapid loss of strength. After all, she had been playing outside for a long time, and her body had already accumulated a lot of fatigue... The gasping sound behind her was getting closer and closer, and she felt that she was about to lose her strength. The girl who was about to be chased took a deep breath, and was about to use her utmost strength to call for help——

A figure descended from the sky and pulled the girl into his arms.

Due to the inertia of running, the girl staggered, and her face collided with her strong chest.The girl was slightly taken aback, then leaned on her chest, closed her eyes, felt the familiar breath and warm body temperature, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I have caused you trouble again."

The young man in a black uniform and epaulets stared at the two figures standing a few steps away, and said coldly, "The members of the Jacob family are the ones you ants can mess with? Why don't you get out of here?"

With the scream of metal friction, the half of the unsheathed sword at the young man's waist shone with a chilling light.

When the two nights escaped without hesitation, the young man pulled the girl away from his arms, turned around, and asked faintly as he walked, "Erica, why did you come back?"

The young man made some rough movements, which made Erika Jacob stand with her mouth pouted for a few seconds, then she followed the young man's pace and explained: "Walk around the city with the target of observation all afternoon."

"Have you found anything?"

"No..." Erica looked at the young man's steady back, and she lacked confidence when she spoke, "But I found that she seems to be very interested in another girl from outside."

"A foreign girl?"

While talking, the two walked into a secluded courtyard.

The gray brick walls ooze a bit of solemnity, but the courtyard that has been left unattended for a long time has grown a dilapidated atmosphere; under the last ray of afterglow, the dark moss at the corners is faintly glaring.Erica walked behind her brother Lucas Jacob all the way, but found that the other party didn't look back at her until she got home, she couldn't help feeling annoyed, and she just shut her mouth and stopped talking.

After the two entered the house, Lucas Jacobs took a moment to light the fireplace.

The slowly ignited fire began to dispel the chill in the room, but this old house is a bit big, and only a small area around the fireplace is warm.

Lucas's thin but handsome face reflected the jumping flames. He raised his head inadvertently, and found that his sister was still standing beside him, looking fixedly at him, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"What's for dinner today?" Erica asked the usual question.

Lucas's answer was as usual: "Whatever."

"I see." Turning around, Erica's eyes filled with a slight sense of grievance, and she took a few steps when she suddenly heard the other party call out to her.

"Wait a moment."

"Huh?" Erika asked in a low voice, with her back to her brother.

Lucas frowned and asked: "You just said that the target is very interested in another girl from outside. What's going on, please tell me first."

Erica bit her lip and replied, "Okay..."

Contrary to the old port area in the north of the city, the Lenin city in South Carolina at night has become one of the famous "cities that never sleep" on the mainland in recent years.Under the dazzling neon lights, the entertainment industry decorated with emerging magic technology has become the characteristic of this urban area.

The ancient casinos, brothels, bars and other entertainment venues are still the most popular items. The rich and powerful, who don't mind extravagant consumption, naturally become regular visitors here, and the middle-class citizens can also come here Enjoy the luxury of spending a lot of money and getting drunk to relieve your worries.

Evan Schultz, the secret investigator, was wearing an elegant dress, smoking a pipe on hand, standing at the intersection of the street with people coming and going, pretending to be waiting for someone.

It is his routine task to inspect and gather intelligence in this "City That Never Sleeps", which is gorgeous in appearance but corrupt in this area where three religions and nine streams gather.Although he thinks that such tasks have little effect, he has to report the details he discovers every day in his boring work schedule.

Since the future king, His Royal Highness Guidinis, took over the intelligence work, his workload has almost doubled.Although the corresponding remuneration has also increased a lot, Evan Schultz, who has been running around for this, can't help but miss the leisurely days in the past.

While Evan sighed, a figure in a black robe walked past him.

The outfit that was incompatible with this area made Evan wake up all of a sudden.He quickly caught up with the man in black robe just now, put his hand on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, please wait a moment."

The touch on the opponent's shoulder was obviously thin, which made Evan hesitate a bit, thinking: Is it a woman?

When the man in black turned around, he saw clearly the beautiful and charming face exposed from under the hood, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then he showed a medal from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, I am a Senior Investigator Evan Schultz, I think your identity is a bit suspicious, please cooperate with my investigation."

In Evan Schultz's view, this girl was not only suspicious, but extremely suspicious.

Black hair and black pupils, this feature shows that she is from a foreign country; she also appeared in an inappropriate place at an inappropriate time with a suspicious outfit; more importantly, there was a kind of unearthly on her face. The smell of fireworks—this made it impossible for Evan to guess her identity.

The mysterious girl looked at Evan for a few seconds, then shook her head, intending to turn around and leave.

However, the girl turned sideways, and a long sword that suddenly appeared stopped in front of her.The girl's expression changed slightly, and she turned to Evan, who claimed to be the investigator, again, and he said with a sullen face: "It's my duty, can Miss come with me?"

The silent girl looked cold for a moment.Her pair of dark and flawless eyes confronted Evan for a few seconds, then drooped slightly, and placed them on the long sword in front of her.

The indescribable breath quietly settled, and the sensory world was instantly barren.

Evan was startled in his heart, and quickly dropped his sword and retreated—the long sword floating in mid-air cracked inch by inch amidst a series of "clank" sounds, turning into pieces of iron and scattered on the ground.

She is a magician!

Evan felt the difficulty of the matter, he kept the utmost calmness and took a few steps back, quietly tightened the magic gun in his pocket, stared at the girl in black robe and said: "Your Excellency, Mage, I do not intend to offend... I just want to confirm your identity!"

The girl frowned, and pulled down her hood. Her deep black hair fluttered gently against the colorful night market, creating an elegant and refreshing mood.Just when Evan thought things were turning around, the girl took out a staff from her bosom, making his breathing suddenly suffocated.

The movement on the street has already caused quite a commotion.If the long sword that was shredded like a trick just now made many people confused, the staff that the girl took out immediately caused a huge panic, causing the surrounding people to flee in all directions in a panic.

On this continent, the panic that magicians bring to ordinary people is not because of their strength, but because of the mystery and unpredictability of magicians.

——When fighting against a magician, you can never guess how you will die.

Evan's pupils contracted, staring firmly at the dangerous black pearl on the top of the staff... He also couldn't guess whether his life would be taken away in the next moment.

Chapter 25 "Let Me Take You Home"

In the early morning of the next day, Erin opened her eyes on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and struggled with her lazy mind for a while before getting up from the overly comfortable quilt.

Next, Erin washed and dressed as usual, and had breakfast again.When she was about to go out with the businessman to discuss business according to the scheduled itinerary, she found Yannis walking over and said to her, "You don't have to go today."

Remembering that the person I visited today was a very important client, Irene asked doubtfully, "You don't need to go?"

Yannis explained: "Last night, a fierce battle took place in Nancheng District, and the military is still investigating, and the area is under martial law.

"Fight." Eileen became a little curious as she meditated on this word, "What is it like... a fight?"

"I heard that it is related to a magician from outside, but the identity is still unknown." After a pause, Yannis also informed the girl of some additional information, "From the traces of the battle left at the scene, her magical characteristics, Seems to be related to 'space'."

"Ah."

Irene nodded, and Yannis sensed the girl's thoughts, and said, "In the past, quite a few people with royal blood became outstanding magicians. Perhaps, you will also set foot on this road one day." the road."
