Princess' personal painter

...Can I, too, become a magician?

Since the scheduled itinerary was cancelled, Erin simply stayed in the room when she was free.After sending Yannis over, she took up the 'Whispers of Vercetti' as usual, and prepared to study.

During this period of time, Irene clearly noticed that this accessory fit her better and better.

When she put on the headband, her senses seemed to clear away the fog of chaos, and the surrounding world instantly became much clearer. Through the more sensitive five senses, she seemed to be gradually approaching something more "essential".

...Sisiana is also a magician, what is her magic like?

Irene was distracted, and couldn't help recalling the scene of meeting Sisyana for the first time.In her meditation, some inconspicuous details at that time seemed to contain more information.

...Is that white spar also a rare magic item?

Sitting on the desk, Eileen, who seemed to be taking a nap with her eyes closed, suddenly realized something strange in the room.She opened her eyes in astonishment, and turned to the floor beside the bed—but she stared at it suspiciously for a long time, and there was still nothing there, nothing changed.

Irene exhaled lightly, reached out and rubbed her sore eyes.

Feeling the quiet scent of wheat infiltrating her nostrils, Eileen raised her eyes in a daze, and found another person in the room.

The person who came took off the hood, showing a good face and flowing black hair. She was the girl who appeared once when Irene was in the nameless town.Just like the last time we met, this mysterious black-haired girl pursed her lips without saying a word, but looked at Irene quietly with a strange look in her eyes.

Erin, who was looked at a little uncomfortable, tried to say hello: "Hello?"

The black-haired girl took a step closer, her pair of pure black eyes remained unmoved.

A faint smell of wine wafted from the girl's body, the breath was sweet and sultry intoxication.Erin's heart beat faster, and she felt an inexplicable feeling of intimacy with the girl: "Um... have you been drinking again?"

The silent black-haired girl stretched out her hand and touched the emerald gemstone on Irene's forehead.Immediately, as if she had confirmed something, she couldn't help frowning.She walked to Irene's side again, and flipped through the accounts she was dealing with just now.

Erin, who was a little confused about the situation, bit her lip and watched the girl's actions.

After flipping through the accounts for a while, the black-haired girl's face became somewhat sullen. She glared at Irene, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote a line on the paper.

This time, Erin, who had learned the common language, immediately understood what she wrote.

——Why did you lie to me?

Irene was taken aback for a moment, then remembered what happened the last time we met, and quickly explained: "Sorry, I only learned common characters recently, and I didn't mean to deceive you!"

The black-haired girl stared at Irene suspiciously for a while, then continued writing on the paper.

——What are you doing here at Karenin?

From the girl's attitude, Erin gradually realized that this girl should be someone who knew her original "self". In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, she took a deep breath and explained: "Sorry, I lost my memory, I don't remember anything from before!"

Hearing these words, the black-haired girl's expression turned cold, and her eyes also became stern.

The dangerous aura coming from the girl made Erin shiver.She looked straight into the girl's eyes and said in as sincere a tone as possible: "If you can, explain our relationship?"

The black-haired girl's face softened slightly, and she didn't know whether she believed what she said, but just stared at Irene quietly, wondering what she was thinking.

"For example..." When she spoke, Erin's cheeks blushed slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "I want to know your name, is that okay?"

The girl who finally moved because of this sentence, sank her face, and wrote another line, but did not answer Irene's question.

——You really lost your memory?

Realizing that she could finally have "normal" communication with the girl, Irene breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Well, I'm also curious about my past!"

--Come with me.

The overly straightforward request made Erin stunned for a moment.She carefully watched the girl's expression, and said with some hesitation: "Sorry... I may not be able to make a decision now..."

There was obvious dissatisfaction in the black-haired girl's eyes, but this time, she didn't explode immediately, but restrained her anger.After thinking for a while, she wrote another sentence, and the tone of the sentence eased a little.

—Let me take you home.

"……go home?"

Silently chanting these unrealistic words, Irene stared at the girl's face, and felt a deeper sense of intimacy. She organized her words and asked, "Excuse me... if possible, can you meet with Mr. ? If we communicate well..."

Only halfway through Eileen's words, she was frightened by the sudden murderous intent in the black-haired girl's eyes.

Irene pursed her lips for a while, and tried to explain again: "... To be honest, I have received a lot of favors from my husband, and I can't just walk away... Please give me some time..."

While speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made the two of them stunned for a moment.

The person outside the door said: "Irene, the book you want, Mr. asked me to deliver it."

Irene cast a questioning look at the black-haired girl, and the latter shook her head vigilantly. After understanding her meaning, Irene said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, can I trouble you to hide for a while?"

The black-haired girl stared at Erin without saying a word.

The extremely slight "hum" made Erin think that she had an auditory hallucination.However, after that, the black-haired girl opened the closet by herself, and retracted her body into the only place in the room where she could hide.When Irene walked over to close the cabinet door, she met the girl's extremely displeased eyes, and shivered involuntarily.

However, after letting the other party hide in the closet, when Erin walked towards the door, the picture that she didn't dare to look at just now appeared in her mind, and her cheeks flushed all of a sudden.

...Hiding in the closet, she curled up... so cute!

Eileen, who had made a decision in her heart and planned to draw this scene, seemed to have forgotten another thing...

Chapter 26 The Red-Eyed Vampire

The person who sent the book was a young guy, and Irene vaguely remembered that his name was "Robin".

Robin walked into the room, put the heavy books he was carrying on Irene's desk, and said, "Mr. Weiss just told us that there might be thieves sneaking in. Is there anything unusual here?"

"No, thank you for your concern." Erin replied.

"That's right, it's cold, how could there be thieves." Robin smiled shyly, trying to strike up a few words with Irene, "However, it is said that there was a lot of movement in Nancheng District last night. Woolen cloth."

Irene couldn't help asking: "There's a lot of movement?"

Robin's face became excited: "Half the building collapsed. Fortunately, when the battle just broke out, an emergency evacuation was carried out, so no casualties were caused... That magician is said to be a black witch from the East. What a great character."

Black Witch?

Erin was slightly taken aback.

As for the specific situation, Irene was also very curious, but she thought that the black-haired girl in the closet was probably the one who caused the crime, and she was a little afraid that Robin would make her angry if she continued talking.I saw Erin pretending not to be interested, shook her head and said, "Oh, that's it."

Aware of Irene's intention to chase away guests, but Robin seemed to want to chat a few more words, he put his eyes on the desk, and said: "In winter, the trading volume of commodities seems to be less... Irene, your The task should be much easier, right?"

Although it is not a secret that Yannis attaches great importance to Irene in the chamber of commerce, when Eileen occasionally comes into contact with the guys in the chamber of commerce, she never puts on airs by virtue of her identity. I think it is a kind of girl who is easy to get close to.Seeing that Robin was determined not to leave, Irene couldn't help becoming a little anxious when she thought of the black-haired girl still hiding in the closet.

"Well, it will be easier." She still couldn't say the blunt expulsion words, but responded with a flat face.

In this way, Irene managed to chat with Robin for a few minutes, and after seeing him go away, she quickly locked the door, came to the closet, and whispered: "Sorry... I've been waiting for a long time."

However, what made Irene feel dazed was that when she opened the cabinet door, the black-haired girl inside had disappeared.

Just like the last time she appeared and disappeared, there was no trace of her coming and going.

Irene reached out to touch the other person's position just now, and there was still some residual warmth on the wooden board. At the same time, her eyes saw a familiar box in the corner of the closet, and her expression was a little dull.

...I was really an idiot for forgetting about this!

Immediately afterwards, her face couldn't help but start to feel hot.

This feeling of shame is like finding some special "collections" by a girl you like before coming to this world.Especially in addition, those "collections" are still painted by myself.

As for the first time, she took the initiative to give some private paintings to Yannis for "trading"--Irene promises that such a thing will not happen a second time!

Erin stared at the box, which seemed to have never been opened.

...But, she shouldn't have noticed, right?

...Besides, it's pitch black inside, so you can't see clearly if you find it?

Just when Irene was lucky enough to hide some of the paintings in a more secret location, the black-haired girl who was standing on the street corner and hid her figure under the wide black robe firmly clenched Fist, even the body can not help but tremble.

She looked at a certain window on the second floor, with an unconcealable disappointment in her eyes.

"I will..." The black-haired girl spoke in an extremely low voice.

In an instant, she suddenly sensed something, shut her mouth at once, and turned around vigilantly, only to see a light blue parasol reflecting a head of blue-gray long hair appearing in her sight .

"I thought you were dumb." Holding an umbrella, the girl who walked towards me said something quite rude in a calm tone.

The black-haired girl stared at the other party firmly, and the presence of the person made her feel quite dangerous for a moment.She reached into her robe with one hand, and quietly grasped her staff,

Sensing the defense of the black-haired girl, Mia Stefan, also a classmate in Irene's studio, stopped in her tracks, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, I only care about Irene .”

Gray pupils and an overly pale complexion, coupled with the almost instinctive repulsion in her heart when she approached, made the black-haired girl have guesses about Mia's identity.She took out the staff from the black robe, pointed at the girl under the umbrella, and narrowed her eyes for a moment.

Seeing the actions of the black-haired girl, Mia, who has always been indifferent, also showed surprise in her eyes, and she tried to say: "Wait a minute, we don't need to be like this..."

However, even though Mia tried to explain, the black-haired girl, who was deaf to the words, whispered a word: "Bright..."

As soon as the words fell, a golden glow rose in the air.

Looking at Mia for a while, the girl said coldly: "... Purification."

The substantive golden divine power complied with her mobilization, and quickly closed to where the opponent was standing.The gathered light was a bit dazzling for a moment, completely enveloping Mia with absolute power.

The "magic" used by the black-haired girl, like her, has a silent color.

The light gradually receded, and just when the black-haired girl had doubts about the judgment just now, the gathered divine power suddenly exploded, and with an explosion that hurt the eardrums, Mia appeared from the dissipated golden light.

"It's unreasonable." Mia's face showed obvious annoyance, and she threw the rags in her hand aside, and walked towards the black-haired girl, "broke my umbrella ,I am angry."

Mia's eyes turned from gray to blood red, and under the pale, almost transparent skin, the criss-crossing blood vessels were almost clearly discernible.When speaking, two canine teeth loomed at the corners of this delicate-looking girl's mouth, adding to her morbid beauty.

"The power of light... I didn't expect that you are still a member of the church." Mia, who exposed her identity as a "vampire", seemed very uncomfortable with the sunlight shining down. She squinted her eyes and said, "A priest of the church? Look It doesn't sound like... What is the purpose of coming to Erin?"

In the silence as usual, the raised staff locked Mia firmly.

Seeing the gloomy expression of the black-haired girl and her plans to make a move, Mia said coldly:

"Are you an idiot? If there is such a big commotion under the nose of the palace, if you want to be hunted down, I don't want to accompany you... Besides, I have only known Irene for more than half a month. If you can give It’s okay to give this new toy to you on a condition that satisfies me.”

These words made the black-haired girl calm down a little.

Indeed, the commotion last night was quite serious. If she really got into a fight with the vampire girl, it would definitely cause more trouble.The she just now was indeed out of anger, and subconsciously thought that Irene was in collusion with the vampire, so she acted recklessly.

But in fact, when a vampire shows "interest" in humans, most of them regard the other party as "prey" or have the purpose of developing them into "families".Thinking about it this way, it's just a vampire's interest, at least Irene hasn't hooked up with this dirty creature yet.

Although it is not a small trouble to be targeted by a vampire, but the degree of trouble is completely inferior to the black-haired girl who just discovered that "Irene and the princess of the old enemy have an unexplainable ambiguous relationship"-this is in her eyes. , almost equal to the fact of betrayal.

Because of this discovery, she even had a lot of doubts about her unauthorized action this time.

Although she was really anxious in her heart, if she wanted to take the "amnestic" Irene back by force, there would be no small danger.Especially after leaving the border of Anruel, there are too many enemies lurking in the dark, and she can hardly ensure the safety of Irene.

Therefore, the most appropriate way is for her to cast her unique "directed teleportation" magic and take Irene back to the headquarters directly.However, this magic can only truly take effect when Irene accepts her wholeheartedly—and Irene's attitude obviously has a lot of resistance.

It took a lot of effort to confirm that Irene was the one I was looking for, and successfully found her.But what should she do to make her believe in herself?
