Can We Become A Family?

CHAPTER 13

"......"

Even though it was a lobby where many people walked around, the tension was hovering like a spectator waiting for the main stage to begin. The low sighs that flowed out sometimes were like the sounds of instruments.

They were holding in their breaths without realizing it. They were fully focused on each step Navia took. Then, walking down the stairs, a red-haired maid came down quickly.

With both hands, she was holding a thick towel politely. It was Charlotte.

"Lady, you must be cold. Please use a towel."

Navia looked surprised for a moment when Charlotte took care of her.

Her wide, round eyes soon folded. The dignity felt earlier disappeared as if it was an illusion and was replaced with a clear and cute smile.

"Thank you, Charlotte."

Only then, did the other servants, who had forgotten how to breathe, give up their breath. Then they scratched their heads with an expression as if they couldn't understand why they were so nervous when they saw Navia.

Navia covered herself with the towel and bit the tender flesh in her mouth. While thinking about the black moon, Navia's etiquette came out again.

'It's okay. It's rather better to have some manners.'

Navia had been placed as the daughter of an aristocrat. It was safe to meet Nikan's expectations until she left.

Navia walked up the stairs with Charlotte and looked down at the black moon.

'Just what kind of power is this?'

When Wood's magic was absorbed, the black moon scattered a dangerous light, but now it was as calm as a beast hiding its claws.

'I'll just change my clothes and go to the library.'

Duke Agnes had a lot of money. But money was all that he had. It was what was passed down from generation to generation in Agnes.

Water magic was definitely strong, but it was an ability that had no expandability.

How was Eseled compared to them?

Regardless of what magical ability they were born with, genius mages had been produced from generation to generation.

Agnes created a library with enormous volumes of books to somehow compensate for their weaknesses. It probably had the largest number of books, after the Eseled family.

Sadly, Navia had already read most of the books to find out about her ability to regress.

'But maybe there's something I missed.'

"Sister?"

Navia, who had been walking with her eyes on the floor, suddenly lifted her head. A lovely pink-haired girl could be seen.

"Vivian."

Vivian, standing with a teddy bear in her arms half her height, spoke to her maid, "Look, Maki. That's Sister Navia, right?"

"Haha, it is."

Vivian tilted her head.

"But why are you here? This is the third floor."

It was a pure and innocent question. Even so, it was a rude remark that could be questioned by anyone.

Charlotte's expression hardened.

On the other hand, Vivian's maids covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and giggled.

Navia, who had been humiliated openly, was as still as a lake without any wind. The maids felt something strange and slowly closed their mouths.
