Chapter 27

After trying his best, he couldn't get a day off from anyone in the family, Lucia slumped down on the table in dejection.

Athos couldn't bear it, and was reflecting on whether he had done too much when he saw Ram taking a candy from the shelf.

"Lucia, eat candy."

Lucia, who was still lying on her stomach, jumped up like a live fish and ate the candy with her mouth open.

Athos found that he really underestimated Lucia's resilience, she seemed to have completely come out of the shadows.

Sure enough, while eating, Lucia began to talk about what she had encountered.

"They definitely didn't expect that I was still awake, and when the guards left, I would get up immediately." Lucia said, looking at the others expectantly, "I'm not that good!"

"This is the blessing of God." Athos said solemnly.

After he answered, he found that Lucia was looking at him with disgust, and then turned his eyes to Ram.

"Hehe, amazing." Ram praised with a smile.

Even Anna said with a rare admiration: "It's amazing."

Lucia was very proud, then looked at Athos with big blue eyes, and smiled sweetly: "Brother, what do you think?"

Athos: "..."

Is that what it meant?

"It's amazing." Athos said, and immediately saw Lucia's approving eyes.

"Yeah, after all, I'm super smart~"

The praised Lucia's tail was about to curl up. She continued to speak, stopping at each paragraph to ask other people if they were good or not.

The invisible cloud on the dinner table a few days ago disappeared completely, and the sad atmosphere was like fog, completely melted by the warm sunlight.

Athos felt that a stone in his chest was finally removed, and he smiled and watched Lucia take a bite of rice and talk for a minute.

By the time the meal was over, the dishes were already cold, but Anna rarely blamed Lucia, but quietly packed her things.

Athos also helped to pack up and was ready to go to work.

Walking to the door, Athos heard Lucia's smiling voice: "Brother, see you tomorrow!"

"Well, I'll take you to school tomorrow." Athos looked at Lucia who had jumped to his side, and instructed, "You rest early at night."

Lucia's face collapsed, and she forced a smile: "Got it..."

Athos laughed, rubbed Lucia's soft blonde hair, and walked out of the house.

The next morning, Lucia was dragged out of bed by Anna, and she ate breakfast in a dejected manner, and was forced to buckle her schoolbag on her back by Athos.

Before going out, Lucia was struggling like she was on the guillotine, and finally was hugged by Athos and walked out of the house.

When he walked out of the house, Lucia was still paralyzed on Athos' shoulders like a dead fish, but when he heard the neighbor's first greeting, Athos found that Lucia's temperament had changed.

"Oh, good morning, is this sending Lucia to school?"

"Yes." Anna also tried to smile kindly.

"I haven't seen Lucia these days, is she sick?" the neighbor asked with concern.

Ana and Athos didn't want others to know what happened to Lucia, so they acquiesced to this statement.

"Look at this, is it okay?" The neighbor asked concernedly, "Lucia, take a good rest when you are sick, and don't force yourself to go to school."

Athos felt Lucia, who had been leaning on his shoulder, move, and looked at the neighbor.

At this time, Lucia has completely changed, from a troubled little jerk to a good-looking girl who understands people, she said with tears: "No, I have to go to class, I have fallen behind my classmates a lot. "

Athos:  …

Anna:  …

"If you are not in good health, you still have to rest at home," the neighbor advised. "You can study anytime, and your body must be protected."

"It doesn't matter, my illness is cured, I must go to school." Lucia wiped her tears and answered firmly, "I love learning, and learning makes me happy."

The neighbor was so moved by such a sensible little girl as Lucia, he praised Lucia several times and sighed: "Oh, if only my child could be as sensible as Lucia."

"Brother, he is very smart and will definitely get better and better." Lucia said sincerely.

"Well, I don't know what my son is like, his mind is not on learning." The neighbor was a little happy, but still complained about his child.

"Don't say that brother, he is very good, he is very good at arithmetic." Lucia continued to speak seriously, "There is no one nearby who is better at arithmetic than him."

The neighbor was already happy, but still sighed: "Alas, he is also a bit talented."

Lucia was immediately possessed by Mistry, who boasted about the neighbor's brother for a long time, making the neighbor's praise very happy.

Athos and Ana were watching Lucia's performance with cold eyes.

By the time he said goodbye to his neighbors, Lucia had firmly established the image of a good boy who was strong, sensible, and loved to learn.

Next, as long as you meet a neighbor who greets you along the way, Lucia will immediately put on a "I love learning" appearance.

Presumably in a few days, all the neighbors around will have rumors that ‘Lucia is sensible’.

After getting into the public carriage, as soon as the carriage door was closed, Lucia's straight waist immediately softened, and she slumped into Athos' arms again.

"Stop pretending?" Anna sneered, "Don't you love learning?"

Lucia said miserably: "Learning is precious, and rest is more expensive."

Anna sneered.

Athos gently touched Lucia's head and said, "Study hard."

Lucia's whole body was wilted. She was held by Athos in her arms like a dead fish. She got off the carriage and leaned on Athos and refused to get down.

Seeing such a cute little sister Gululu hugging her neck, she just refused to walk, even if she made up her mind to strictly demand Lucia, Athos really couldn't let go.

Carrying Lucia all the way to the school gate, Athos put Lucia down, and Flora, who was guarding Lucia at the school gate, ran all the way and hugged Lucia tightly.

Lucia, who was still a dead fish just now, immediately showed a happy smile: "Flora!"

"Lucia!" The pink-haired girl burst into tears, "I'm so worried about you, are you not hurt?"

Lucia held her chest high and was very confident: "No, I'm so strong, how could I get hurt?"

"But I heard from Priest Louisa that you were injured a lot when you came back." Flora looked at Lucia worriedly, "Don't lie to me, Lucia?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Lucia replied, "But I'm all done!"

"Then you have to take a good rest, such a big thing happened..." Flora was about to cry again.

"No, as long as the injury is healed, I will definitely come back immediately." Lucia took Flora's hand, "I don't want Flora to worry about me for one more second, I will be sad."

Flora was still in tears, but couldn't help laughing: "You really talk big."

"How come, when I got home yesterday, I couldn't wait to come to class."

"...Seeing Lucia," Flora took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears gracefully and smiled, "I'm really happy."

"I'm so happy too!" Lucia took Flora's hand and waved back at Anna and Athos, "I'm going to a happy class, bye~"

Athos: That's not what you said yesterday.

Seeing that my sister quickly coaxed the aristocratic eldest lady into a happy mood, the two of them held hands and walked side by side to the classroom without any noble style, I was really relieved and worried.

Not only the gods dote on Lucia, but even everyone around her is bewildered by Lucia!

Such Lucia can only be educated by their family.

Obviously not married yet, but Athos suddenly had a heavy sense of responsibility. He secretly planned that he would not let Lucia go in the future, and he must exercise her hard-working spirit.

Lucia didn't know what was going to happen to her. She happily went to the classroom with Flora and welcomed a warm welcome from her classmates.

"Lucia, are you alright?"

"Welcome back!"

"This is the latest note, I made one for you!"

"I heard from my dad that you were taken away by cultists, but you rescued everyone!"

"You are amazing! If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be found."

"I was also taken away this time. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what would have happened, thank you!"

Lucia returned to her seat like a hero, and was surrounded by a swarm of classmates, wondering what she had done.

"Let me tell you about it." Lucia was overjoyed by her classmates and began to brag, "Actually, when I was caught, I already realized it was wrong!"

[Lucia, lying is wrong. 】 Mistry's voice appeared in Lucia's mind.

[This is not a lie, it is an artistic exaggeration! 】

Lucia refuted Mistry in her head, and continued to run the train: "I waited for the opportunity all the way, and after the guards left, I woke up, and when I saw the unconscious classmates, I made up my mind, I will definitely Save everyone!"

"Bravo!"

"As expected of Lucia!"

In the eyes of the classmates' admiration, Lucia made up a century-old showdown, and the classmates talked with great interest, until the teacher came to class and was still a little reluctant.

When Lucia saw the teacher standing at the door, she began to bombard people: "Okay, okay, class is over, I'll tell you after class."

When the teacher entered the classroom, the whole classroom was in good order again.

He glanced at Lucia and found that the little girl smiled at him obediently, and he was relieved: "Today, we are going to study "Dangerous Biology", the students opened the book and turned to 130 pages... …”

The teacher spoke very seriously, but Lucia's spirit had drifted away, she looked at the textbook with a blank face.

Fortunately, most of the teachers in the general education class didn't like to ask questions, and Lucia still held up her get out of class with a blank face.

It took two class breaks to compile the experience for the students. In the third class break, Lucia was finally able to drink tea with her friends.

Lucia and Flora held hands, and the two walked in front of them intimately. Robin, a slave, followed the two with a teapot and snacks.

When he got to the garden, Robin put the tea set on the table and couldn't help complaining: "Can you stop letting me do this kind of thing in the future, obviously there are servants, so I can't let them take it?"

"But that's not my servant, and you are my slave." Lucia looked at Robin with guilt, "I also feel very sorry for treating Master Robin like this, so sorry... poof!"

Robin rolled his eyes and put his hand on the chair: "Just laugh, don't pretend, it makes me sick."

"If you talk like this, I'm going to tell the teacher that you failed the etiquette class." Lucia said maliciously, "You are the master of the city, Robin."

"Compared to you, my etiquette class must be full marks." Robin pulled out a mean aristocratic smile, "And you, just failed."

"I'm fine, I'm just an ordinary~common~city~civilian~" Lucia said happily, "Hurry up and pour us some tea!"

Robin glanced at Lucia, stood up, picked up the teapot, added black tea to the three, and seemed to ask casually, "By the way, the birthday is coming, do you have a dance partner?"

"What?" Lucia looked confused, "What do you want a dance partner for on your birthday?"

"You don't know?" Robin asked in surprise. "The seminary will hold a dance on the eve of the birthday. Before that, you need to find a dance partner."

"..." Lucia received a head-on blow, "Dance?"

"Lucia is not from Seranga, I don't know this tradition." Flora explained softly, "Does Lucia know the legend of the birth date?"

"Well, it's the day the hero was born." Lucia added, "My brother was born on the birthday."

Robin sneered: "At least one-tenth of Alonpe's people were born around the birth day."

"This is also a good wish from my parents." Flora said softly, "It is said that before the birth of the hero, people were devastated by the evil god. In order to defeat the evil god, people held a grand ceremony."

"After the ceremony, the hero was born the next day. He has eyes that can see through everything, and a sharp blade that penetrates everything. He defeated the evil god and brought peace back to the world."

Isn't this seeing through eyes the golden finger of Brother Athos.

Thinking of Athos' golden finger, Lucia was very envious.

Obviously she is the one who wears the book, and the protagonist should be her, so why doesn't she have any golden fingers.

Secretly envied Athos, who had golden fingers for a while, Lucia thought of the dance party just mentioned, and asked cautiously, "The ceremony is dancing?"

"I don't know." Flora said with evidence, "This ceremony has evolved, and it has a different form of expression everywhere, but in Seranga, it's a dance."

"The day before the birth day, Cerancha will hold an open-air dance that lasts for a day." Robin explained, "There are also some institutions that hold dances separately. The seminary dance starts at five in the evening and ends at nine o'clock."

After listening to Robin's explanation, Lucia became worried.

Flora held Lucia's hand worriedly: "What's wrong?"

Lucia asked hesitantly, "Can you not participate?"

"Why?!" Flora blurted out.

"How can I say it, I can't dance." Lucia explained calmly, "Also, the skirts for the dance are very expensive. My family is very poor and can't afford them."

Lucia herself said it very naturally, but Flora's eyes suddenly turned red, and she blamed herself: "I'm sorry, Lucia, I didn't mean to."

"???" Lucia didn't realize the reason for Flora's apology, and it took a while to understand, "Don't think too much, I'm just talking about the reality."

"I can teach you to dance!" Flora held Lucia's hand, "I can also give you a dress!"

"Is it okay?" Lucia was surprised, "Then can I choose a style?"

"Of course." Flora broke into a smile after hearing Lucia's agreement, "I want to wear the same dress as Lucia."

"If you two wear the same clothes, you will be laughed at." Robin said, "Besides, there is only a week left until the birthday, why don't you hurry up and teach Lucia to dance."

"Well." Flora stood up immediately, looking at Lucia expectantly, waiting for her to reach out and invite her.

Lucia looked at Flora inexplicably.

"Pfft—" Robin looked at the two people looking at each other for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Let me teach Lucia, Flora, you also learn women's steps."

"Yeah." Flora blushed, and she replied in a low voice, "Sorry, Lucia, I forgot."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just learn from Robin." Lucia comforted Flora, "But please pay attention to me, I have a bad place to dance, you have to remind me."

"I see, don't worry." Flora replied gently.

After school, Athos and Ana came to pick up Lucia again.

As the children walked out of the school gate, Athos saw his sister come out standing in the middle of everyone like the stars holding the moon.

Although Athos had realized that Lucia had a high status among his peers when Lucia was the protagonist of the stage play, but in the middle... This is the default chief position!

Athos glanced at Anna and saw that she was calm and not surprised.

"...Mom, is Lucia always like this after school?"

"It wasn't at first," Anna said calmly. "At first, more than half of them followed another person, the boy named Robin who came to our house last time."

...that makes sense.

Athos can already make up the picture. At first, Lucia may just have a good relationship with some people, and later became friends with Robin, so it became such a situation...

No, it doesn't make sense. Even if you become friends with Robin, the most central position should not be Lucia.

Seeing Lucia saying goodbye to the others in a friendly manner and walking towards them, Athos felt a deep sadness.

Maybe this is the person that God loves. People like him who are favored by God lv.1 do not understand the world of people who are loved by God lv.3.
