Chapter 128: Chapter 127
In the corridor, there was a faint knock on the door, and a person was trying hard to suppress his voice, almost speaking in a whisper.
Rudy stood in front of Sylphy's door, and he glanced nervously at Alan's door beside him.
I'm wondering whether I should just go back and come back another time.
The next moment, the door opened.
Sylphy stuck her head out. She had taken off the moon-white dress that Hilda had finally given her during the day, which she often wore in Buena Village. The jacket that looked a bit like a sportswear was neatly draped over her body.
She glanced to her side and spoke in a whisper as well.
"Just in time, Rudy. I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to be here first. Come in and talk."
Rudy was stunned for a moment, then he understood something. He nodded and walked into the room.
With a faint click, the door was closed.
Rudy and Sylphy looked at each other, and he immediately spoke.
"Something was wrong with Allen's competition today, so I went to find Gileno and learned about the whole process of today's competition. The conclusion seems to be that Allen's mentality is wrong."
Sylphy turned her head and leaned against the door, she lowered her eyes.
"Attitude?"
Rudy looked at her.
"And you?"
"I went to find Alice and asked her about Gilenu. Alice's tone was quite straightforward. Although I didn't quite understand what she said, I could basically tell that the information was consistent with what you heard. It just contained some words of encouragement for Alice to improve. This should be related to the improvement of the Sword God Style."
The two were silent for a moment.
"Rudy, what do you think about the current situation?"
"Alan's attitude towards Lord Philip and Lord Sauros was basically what I expected, and he behaved very maturely. But there was one person who obviously made him behave differently."
Sylphy blinked and looked down at the ground.
She thought of the row of clothes in Hilda's bedroom that should have belonged to Alan.
"lady."
"Yes. Alan is very calm. No matter how Lord Philip and Lord Sauros treat him, he doesn't react. But it is the lady who reacts to him. She is very friendly. I think this makes him uncomfortable, just like the situation in my house before last winter. Sylphy, do you think we can help?"
".I believe in Alan."
Rudy raised his brow.
"You think Alan can do anything?"
Sylphy lowered her head and said nothing.
Rudy looked at her expression, and after a while he rolled his eyes helplessly.
As a true 'outsider', he can see some things clearly.
"Okay, I also think there's still a lot of time. Maybe it's just like in Buena Village. Allen still needs time to adapt. Then I'll go back first."
Sylphy nodded and stepped aside.
Rudy passed by him.
"But I still think that Alan might need help. Because you've seen what happened in the past two years. He's not very good at dealing with this kind of thing, right?"
The door opened and Rudy walked out.
Turn your head.
The moment the door closes.
In the gradually shrinking field of vision, Sylphy stood there with her head lowered, thinking about something.
In the bedroom scene 'bottom curtain', a candle flickers on the table.
The chair in front of the table was moved away.
It seemed that until just now, there was still someone sitting there writing something.
Chapter 151: Half a year has passed, and the master and the apprentice are exchanging letters [4k]
——
Letter from Luo Qixi-——
Dear Sylphy,
Winter seems to be particularly long, and even the exchange of letters has become slower.
I remember the last time I received your letter, you described the snowy scene in Buena Village.
And now it is late spring.
Time flies.
So how have you been lately?
In your previous letter, you said that your hair has reached your shoulders.
Is it longer now?
If you want to wait until your hair grows to your shoulders, try braiding.
I don't think it's necessary.
Alan once told me in a letter that shoulder-length straight hair suits you better and makes your long ears look very cute.
This description makes me curious about Sylphy with long white hair.
Hope to see you next time.
You already have long hair that flows gracefully.
It must be very beautiful, right?
My life recently is different from last year when I was always fighting in the maze. Now I am staying in the palace peacefully. The maids bring me daily necessities regularly, and my job is mainly to teach the prince magic.
During this process, I always can't help but think of you.
And came to a conclusion.
Different people do have different talents in magic, and this is an objective fact.
The prince has a huge gap in talent compared to you when it comes to learning magic.
The contrast has been particularly obvious during these lectures.
It made me feel disappointed in him involuntarily, and I couldn't help but ridicule him from time to time.
His reactions were very intense and he would argue with me from time to time.
But lately I've adjusted.
I'm reminded of the time when I taught you magic.
If I only had Rudeus as my disciple, I would have been stuck in this mood forever, but my experience in teaching you magic has made me realize that this is not the right thing to do.
Your talents and Rudy's talents are different, aren't they?
And what about Alan? Although I have never seen him use magic, he once told me in a letter that his talent for magic is very poor, but his talent for swordsmanship is so impressive.
so.
People have different talents.
Alan also told me not to be too harsh on the prince, and the words in the letter seemed to indicate that he was afraid that I would undermine his self-confidence.
So after thinking about it for a few days, I decided to change my teaching method. Instead of ridiculing the prince's shortcomings, I would focus on praising his excellent qualities.
Results
Very obvious.
The prince's attitude has changed a lot recently. He clearly showed me the respect that a teacher should have. He also changed his way of addressing me from calling me Roxy to "teacher".
And my interest in magic is growing day by day.
His personality has also become a little calmer.
Thanks to this, my teaching work has become significantly easier.
But it's still not as worry-free as the situation you and Rudy were in back then.
But this just proves that Sylphy is also a genius, doesn't it?
So have confidence in yourself.
You know I'm not just talking about magic~
Now that we are talking about magic, I have to fulfill my duties as a master.
Have you fallen behind in your magic studies recently?
I believe your gifted healing skills have made great progress.
Speaking of this, I remembered the time when Alan was practicing swordplay, and you followed him closely, healing his body damage from the twenty cuts.
The moment I put pen to paper, that picture has already unconsciously appeared in my mind.
It makes people feel beautiful just thinking about it.
I wonder if you were already serving as the eldest lady's tutor in Roya City when you wrote this letter?
Oh, by the way, this is because Allen told me in the last letter that he would take you to the lord's mansion in Roya City.
To be honest, I was a little surprised when I heard the news.
I thought that after you had studied magic for a few years he would try to send you to a magic university for further studies, and then he would come and do what he wanted.
But I didn't expect that Alan would choose to take you to the Lord's Mansion to continue your studies.
Yes, there will be better educational resources there, and the salary should be able to alleviate a lot of the financial pressure on the Knights, right?
But he didn't tell me how long you plan to stay there.
One year? Two years?
Maybe longer?
Lord's Mansion.
It's Allen's home.
Thinking of this, I remembered that I haven't been home for a long time.
Allen also seems to have a bad relationship with his parents.
No, rather than saying that it was bad, it would be better to say that he had no real feelings for his biological parents at all.
I have been thinking these days, when he was considering educational resources and financial burden, did he also have the kind of "expectations" he often talked about for his parents whom he had never met deep in his heart?
However, his thoughts could not be seen in the letter, and the words he chose were as casual and natural as before.
But there is one thing that makes people concerned.
He called his sister whom he had never met
'The eldest daughter of the lord's family'.
It's a little worrying.
If possible, could you help me keep an eye on his condition?
Today is April 11th, and the Kingdom of Shillong is full of spring.
There are many beautiful flowers planted in the back garden, and the scenery is beautiful.
But I didn't bother to look at them.
Recently, I don't know if it's because life in the Shillong Palace is too boring or for some other reason.
Memories of the past always come to my mind, making me miss the time I spent in Buena Village.
The Knight's House in the village of Buena;
The bedroom that I had occupied for two years and Alan had occupied for nearly two years;
