Viscount Francis patted Lanci's arm and closed the door for him.
Outside the window of Zestilah's room, the winter sun gradually rose higher, and a new journey of teaching and learning was about to begin.
Lanqi held the book and walked to another chair in the room and sat down with a smile.
He kept a certain distance from Zestilah, as if to ensure that he would not invade her territory.
Then Lanqi took out a pen and began to write on the imperial textbook, with no intention of giving a lecture.
The figure was still sitting quietly on the long table against the wall. On her head were two dragon horns with a metallic luster as sharp as thin blades. Her dark black hair had a hint of blue-green luster. The most obvious feature in her eyes was her vertical pupils that carried a hint of ferocity and distance.
Boss Cat hid in the shadows and observed quietly. This Viscountess looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. No wonder she was in preparatory school.
But even though she is so young, her magic power is far stronger than Lanqi's, at least at the stronger level of the second level.
It has never seen Lan Qi teach anyone, so it doesn't know what Lan Qi's teaching level is.
In this way, Lanqi didn't talk to her and she didn't pay any attention to Lanqi, and this lasted for nearly half an hour.
Zestila did not drive her away nor did she stop her reading, as if the new tutor was just another piece of furniture in the room.
But over time, Lan Qi became calmer than her.
Zestila, who had been almost motionless, finally changed the frequency of flipping through the book.
She felt a little confused.
Although the new teacher would not annoy her right from the start, she still felt uncomfortable because he kept staying with her and refused to leave.
"Has the young lady had breakfast?"
Lanqi finally spoke, still without looking up, concentrating on the writing work in front of him.
"none of your business."
Zestira didn't even bother to look at him and didn't want to communicate at all.
I said this just to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Anyway, this guy just received a generous reward, tried hard to hide his inner hostility and sense of superiority, and reluctantly came to teach her this demon.
Humans were all the same, sometimes harboring more malicious intent than the demons that made her feel sick. Some would try to hide it based on their identity and status, while others would not hide it at all.
"sorry."
Lanqi said quickly,
"I have been of humble origin since I was a child, and I don't know how to talk to the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family..."
Listening to what Lanqi and Zestila said, the cat boss in the shadow thought for a moment.
Aren't you happily traveling with the Duke and Duchess of Hutton Kingdom all day long?
I've never seen you feel inferior.
"..."
Zestila glanced at Lanqi's depressed look.
The room was as quiet as ever.
But in the silence, she felt an inexplicable tingling in her heart.
Normally it's others who look down on her, so how could there be a time when she looks down on others?
She would never do such a despicable thing.
"Ate."
After saying this, Zestila ignored Lanqi.
"Thank you."
After Lanqi finished speaking, he stopped talking and continued to do his work.
The originally dim light in the room gradually became brighter, the wooden floor began to reflect a warm luster, and the old clock embedded in the wall ticked, and the sound seemed slower in this warm light.
Just like this, more than ten minutes passed.
"Miss Zestila, can I be your friend?"
Lanqi seemed to have completed a stage of his work. He closed the book in his hand for the time being, raised his head and asked again.
"Who are you."
Hearing this, Zestira asked back bluntly.
Like a hedgehog's counterattack after being touched.
"I'm sorry, I have never had any friends since I was a child and was always bullied..."
Lanqi turned his head away with a depressed look and stopped looking at her.
"..."
Zestilah was silent for a long time.
She didn't know why, but she felt very uncomfortable.
She knows very well what it feels like to have no friends and be bullied since childhood.
This young man, who has an overly soft attitude, is docile and friendly, and indeed seems to be the type that is easy to be bullied.
"If anyone dares to bully you in Lilom City, just tell my father."
She said.
"Thank you."
Lanqi expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Besides, you have friends now."
Zestila added.
"Who is it?"
"I."
"Thank you."
Cat boss: "???"
Is this kid pretending to be pitiful here?
"I have received great care from Viscount Francis, and I have also heard him say that the young lady has great magical talent..."
Lan Qi thought for a while and said with a slight hesitation.
"Okay, stop it. It's impossible for you to teach me. This is the only thing that's out of the question. I don't want to learn magic genealogy and magic engineering. I just want to learn practical magic skills. Scholars like you should stop wasting my time."
Zestila raised her hand and refused.
"I'm sorry... I have never had any talent for magic since I was a child, and I'm not good at casting spells."
Lanci apologized again.
Boss Cat suspects that this has become Ranchi's trigger combo!
"..."
Zestila finally turned around and looked at Lan Qi. She remained silent and hesitated for a long time.
"Otherwise I'll teach you how to cast a spell."
She said.
This way you won’t be bullied.
"Then please miss."
Lanqi finally smiled.
"come over."
So, Lanqi sat down at Zestila's long table and listened to her talk about the basic techniques of spellcasting.
……
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Viscount Francis had just finished his work when he came to Zestira's door with a worried look on his face.
According to the secretary, Mr. Rocky was not kicked out by Zestila midway.
"Is it true that he can successfully take classes with Zestilah?"
The Viscount paced back and forth in the corridor outside the door, approaching with light steps tentatively, but not daring to get too close and disturb Zestira.
But it was precisely because the room was too quiet that Viscount Francis was unsure of what was going on.
He couldn't help but listen to what was happening inside from outside the door.
Gradually, his expression became confused.
He put his ear closer to the door, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Until he finally determined the situation in the room.
The Viscount was dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had seen a tutor who could live in peace and communicate in a friendly manner with Zestira.
and……
Why is Zestila teaching him? !
Chapter 249 Lanqi's work went exceptionally smoothly
As the winter sun gradually rose higher, the light in the courtyard of the lord's mansion changed from oblique to more vertical, bathing the entire room in warmth.
The slow conversation between Zestira and Lanqi, the sound of pages turning, and the melodious sound of leaves outside the window.
Whenever Lanci raised a question, Zestilah listened attentively and then shared her insights with him.
