Things about the female knight in black stockings

Tia's father is not only Valencia's father's direct boss, but also Valencia's father's good friend. Valencia used to be called Uncle Bill.

But that was before.

Tia mentioned more than once that her father was very dissatisfied with Valencia's conscientious behavior of giving up her inheritance rights and running away overnight three years ago.

Although she is much better now, Valencia is still panicked.

Because she came today and planned to eat Tia completely.

Forget it, this matter will have to be faced sooner or later.

The worst I can do is get a beating, but Tia will definitely help me anyway.

Constantly cheering herself up in her heart, Valencia mustered up the courage and stepped into the Brittania family's manor.

As a frequent visitor when she was a child, Valensa was known by many maids in the manor, and soon someone took her to Tia's residence.

"Why are you here now?"

Tia, who was trying on dresses under the service of many maids, rolled her eyes at Valencia, and she got angry when she saw Valencia dressed as a Paladin:

"Are you planning to wear this to the dance tonight? I don't want to be danced around by a hard guy."

"How is that possible? Of course I have already prepared the dress."

Valencia quickly took out the blue evening dress she had bought from the Nora Chamber of Commerce when she solved the Phantom Thieves incident in Krall City:

"It's just inconvenient to wear this on the road, so I plan to change it at your place."

"This dress... is pretty good."

Tia motioned to a maid to pick up the dress and let her take a look at it, feeling a little surprised:

"The most popular design style half a year ago is not outdated now. It is still the workmanship of top masters... Even if this dress is at the Nora Chamber of Commerce, it can only be purchased through auction, right?"

"Well, this is indeed the grand finale of an auction."

Valensa smiled and nodded, then looked at Tia's red evening dress:

"And the color also matches your dress. Does this mean there is a connection?"

"Who wants to have a telepathy with an idiot like you? It's just a coincidence, don't be so pretentious, huh!"

Tia raised her face very proudly:

"Don't think that you are really sure of me... Tonight the entire royal capital... no, the outstanding young people from the entire kingdom will gather at my house and pursue me with all kinds of treasures... Are you not panicking at all?"

"Don't panic, don't panic at all."

Valencia is confident:

"No matter how precious the treasures others bring, the final winner must be me."

"...So confident?"

Tia glanced at Valencia suspiciously:

"Speaking of which, you have been secretive for the past half month, always going to church, and even took several days off... Could it be that you really got something good?"

"No, I'm not prepared for anything."

As Valensa spoke, she approached Tia with a playful smile:

"But I will definitely win...because my gift is myself~~"

"You are indeed a shameless fool! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Tia's face turned even redder, she raised her little white feet and kicked Valencia, then pushed her away:

"How could anyone consider themselves a gift?"

"Then Tia, just tell me whether you want this gift~~"

Valensa turned around lightly and stuck to her again. She didn't mess up Tia's dress, she just blew into Tia's ear.

"I don't want it!"

Tia kicked Valencia angrily again, and then waved to a maid standing by the door as if she was well prepared:

"Bring that over here."

"Yes, Miss."

The maid turned around and went out, then returned within 2 minutes with a beautifully wrapped gift box.

"Here, take it."

Tia pursed her lips and motioned for Valencia to take the gift box:

"I know you idiot won't prepare any serious gifts... You won't go to the ball with yourself wrapped in a ribbon, right? There is a very powerful magic item here. It comes from the Sage Tower. It should be enough to defeat today. It’s too late for most gifts, so just give this to me when the time comes.”

Can it still be done like this?

Valencia was stunned, then moved.

Tia, you are so awesome!

Unable to hold back her inner feelings, Valensa ignored the many maids in the room and rushed towards Tia.

"Idiot, what are you doing! You've messed up your dress... Ooooooooo."

Chapter 147

"Huh? What do you mean you don't want it?"

After the fun, Tia looked at the gift box returned by Valencia and was a little surprised:

"Is it possible that you really found something good?"

"Of course, Tia, you will definitely like it."

Valencia nodded confidently and raised her lips:

"But let me keep it a secret for now, otherwise there will be no surprises."

"Tch, what's so surprising about this?"

Tia narrowed her eyes:

"You don't have much money now, so the gift can't be bought. You still have to go to school and don't have much time to hunt in person, so it won't be a rare material for some kind of monster.

As for Fan Qiangwei, you seemed to have been there once at the end of last month, and you brought friends with you?

If you guessed correctly, that should be the alien you met in the Land of Chance, right?So your surprise gift is a prop from an alien civilization?Is that why you are so confident? "

"Huhu, Tia, you are so smart, you actually analyzed so much at once."

Valencia first pretended to admire her, then pointed her finger at the corner of her mouth and smiled:

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong... What I want to give you is not some otherworldly civilization prop, but something that will be very helpful for your magic practice~~"

"What the hell is it!"

Tia became more curious, and gently kicked Valencia with her little white feet:

"Tell me what's going on in advance? You're a cheapskate~~"

"I told you it was a surprise. How can you still be surprised if you know it in advance?"

Valencia's legs also started to move. She was very fast. She clamped her two black stocking legs as accurately as a pair of hunting pliers, capturing the naughty little white stocking feet, and then pushed them towards her with a little force.

"Ouch."

Tia suddenly lost her balance, screamed and slipped from the chair, falling into Valencia's arms.

"You're so annoying! You just know how to bully me!"

In the end, Valensa was driven out of the room by Tia... If the quarrel continued, the two of them might not be able to change into their dresses until the ball started.

After changing into a dress and getting ready in another room, Valencia didn't see Tia again until the ball officially started.

There were more young people present than Valencia imagined, and they were all young talents from various families.

Most of them are trying to pursue Tia for various purposes, and they also have plans to connect with each other and expand their connections.

So even though everyone was theoretically a love rival tonight, there was no tense atmosphere. Instead, many people had a good chat and made initial intentions to cooperate.

There were also many people in the middle who talked to Valencia, but after learning her identity, they all looked subtle and politely kept their distance.

The Badr family is currently in a state of turmoil and is a very troublesome whirlpool. None of these people want their family to be in trouble.

It just so happened that Valencia was too lazy to take care of those messy things and was happy in her leisure time.

When the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, Tia finally appeared on the stage, accompanied by a handsome man who looked very young.

But no one showed jealousy towards the man. Most people looked at him with respect and admiration. Valencia subconsciously shrank her head and wanted to hide behind the crowd.

Bill Britannia is the current head of the Britannia family, the chief military advisor of the Kingdom of France, and Tia's biological father.

"Welcome to the coming-of-age ceremony for all the young ladies..."

After the usual opening remarks, the dance officially began.

The first dance of a noble girl's coming-of-age ceremony is usually danced with her father as a way of expressing her gratitude for her years of upbringing and love, and Tia is no exception.

The second dance is the most critical. The suitors will present gifts before the dance begins, and the noble girl will choose the most satisfactory person as her dance partner.

Of course, in most cases, the dance partner has been pre-determined, and the others are just accompanying them for a formality.

But as a talented girl who devoted herself to practicing magic, Tia had never been involved in any scandals, and the Brittania family had not shown any signs of marriage, which aroused many people's concerns.

What if you are really attracted to it?

As a result, many people who gave gifts to Tia tonight had done their homework, and various rare magic props and rare materials abounded.

"Next, Valencia Badr."

Following the sweet voice of the maid, Valensa felt that many eyes were looking at her at once, especially Tia's father's eyes, which were like invisible swords, causing great pressure on Valensa.

Valencia withstood the pressure, stepped forward generously, and first performed a lady's ceremony:

"Hello Uncle Bill~~"

Then he sent a small box with exquisite packaging:

"Happy birthday, Tia."

"Thank you."

Tia smiled and took the small box:

"Can I open it now?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

The packaging of the small box is not complicated. The ribbon falls off as soon as you pull it. When you open the lid, there is a purple gemstone pendant lying quietly inside.

Many people looked over curiously. After discovering that it seemed to be just an ordinary gem, some people sighed with emotion, and some people flashed ridicule in their eyes.

The Badr family has finally declined.

Even Tia herself was confused and gave Valencia an angry look:

Is this your confident surprise gift?You might as well use what I prepared for you in advance!

On the other hand, the military advisor frowned and stared at the purple gem on the pendant for several seconds before speaking uncertainly:

"Is this a soul crystal? You can actually get this?"

"Uncle Bill really has a good eye!"

Valencia smiled and nodded, then glanced around at the surprised eyes:

"Yes, this is the soul crystal. It comes from a master who is proficient in magic circles. It contains all the knowledge and research results of that master.

Don't worry, Uncle Bill, I have purified the soul consciousness in the crystal. Now it is a pure compressed package of knowledge and experience and will not have any impact on Tia. "

"Well, I see it."

The military advisor nodded approvingly, then turned to look at his daughter:

"You must really like this gift, right?"

"of course."

Tia smiled like a flower, let go of her father's arm, walked to Valencia, and handed the small box containing the pendant to Valencia's hand:
