Could it be.. was it a letter of apology from Baron Veiss?
Viona just remembered, she had not told me that this morning she left the house without telling anyone. Although it was more precisely impossible to tell the person in the mansion when he was brought suddenly by Shona's magic.
Leili looked at Viona after she finished reading the letter. The woman frowned, “Viona, why are you acting like nothing happened?”.
“...Yes?” Viona answered too late, she was too focused on her thoughts.
The letter in Leili's hand had already folded and neatly inserted between her index and middle fingers. “Baron Veiss apologized for not being able to look after his subordinates who brought you to the academy this morning. Why didn't you say anything?”
Suddenly there was the sound of a chair creaking as someone got up. “Hoo... so.” Victor was visibly enraged by the flow of red-colored magic coming out of his body. The temperature of the air around rose dramatically will the emergence of Victor's magic.
“Ka-kakak?” Viona stuttered to see the angry sister for the first time.
“I'll be gone for a while,” Victor said as he stepped his foot out of the room. He intends to meet baron Veiss and hold him accountable by using his fists.
However, it was stopped by Leili's remark. “Do not be rash, Victor.”
Victor instantly did not accept and sent a protest stare, “But mother.”
“Sit down and listen to me until the end.” It was just that Leili's sharp gaze could not be refuted by Victor.
“Kakak..” especially Viona's face that looks pale for fear of making Victor relented.
Victor took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The man pulled back his leaked magic then sat back quietly.
Seeing that, Viona breathed a sigh of relief. She doesn't know what her sister would do if her stepmother didn't stop Victor.
True to it, the magic element does not lie. Viona recalled a sentence in one of the books she had read recently, the book said that the magic element a person has reflects the person's personality.
Although Victor always looks soft in Viona's eyes, but the fire is still fire. Moreover, as everyone else always said, the anger of a patient person was terrifying.
Viona promises herself not to make Victor angry, whatever the reason.
“So, what else did he say?”
Leili put the letter in her hand back into the envelope and set it aside to its original place. He took another letter and explained it while opening the envelope.
“Baron Veiss gives a gift to Viona and tells her that Viona was accepted as an academy student during the new school year.”
Hearing that, Viona felt confused. “So, I won't take the admission test of new students?”
Leili had opened another letter and was reading it. Therefore, he only nodded briefly.
Hearing that Viona felt weak, “No.... my hard work... why no test?” he leaned slowly while leaning on the chair.
Viona felt empty.
Viona, no, Thalia had this feeling in the last semester. He had already painstakingly studied for the quiz next week, but it was cancelled due to having to pursue unfinished material delivered. Her friends cheered cheerfully because there was no need for a quiz and Thalia could only follow along happily.
Though in his heart, he felt sad because he felt that his knowledge could not be tested.
Victor, who had been watching Viona, called the girl.
“Viona, why?”
Viona glanced at Victor who had regained his composure. It's amazing indeed. Though his eyes had just looked smoldering like they were going to eat people, now his eyes were back as calm as a lake in the middle of the forest.
“That...” Viona's speech came to a halt, she lowered her head feeling doubtful. Should he be honest about his feelings? But he was afraid to be considered smart because he felt sad there was no test.
While it was true that he felt sad, he did not want to be made fun of anymore.
Victor back calling Viona, “Viona, see brother.”
Hearing that, Viona looked back at her brother's ruby iris. Warm. There was no way her brother would make fun of her feelings that were not the same as most people. Right, he just needs to say what he feels.
“Hm... brother guess you learned the purpose to take the test yes?” victor asked after a while thinking about his sister's words. Viona nodded in confusion, indeed if it wasn't for the test there was another reason?
“According to Viona, why would Viona take the test?”
“Because if I don't get tested, I don't know if my knowledge is right or wrong.”
Victor nodded in satisfaction with the answer Viona gave. “Once, then the form of the test should be in writing?” ask Victor again.
The question made Viona speechless.
Viona thought of the reason why Elvo, the Baron of Veiss instantly accepted her to be a student of the academy. At that time, Shona said that she had graduated and was accepted as a student of the academy. The prerequisite given earlier was that Viona should be able to read magic books.
Is... the happy learning and successful writing engraved on Nana's body is the test? Since Viona could read it, the girl was immediately taken to the academy.
“Ah, so that's the test.” Mumbled Viona quietly. Only, Viona was still dissatisfied. It's less afdal if it's just such a test.
Seeing Victor's confused gaze, Viona explains the events this morning. After that, despite being detained Victor still looks angry.
“So it seems, well.. if you are still not satisfied just ask the person who gave you the test. Or if you want you can request a retest.”
Viona's eyes sparkled hearing that, “Really?”
Victor nodded, “Then, according to your sister has graduated. Without any tests, your knowledge is correct. Every day you read a book in front of my mom and me, right? When you are not right, mom will correct it.”
“So, to read the magic book, you have passed.” Victor smiled widely, “Welcome to be a student of the academy, Viona.”
Victor's smile rubbed off on Viona who saw him. “Thanks, Brother!”
His eyes curved into a crescent moon. Hearing that made Viona feel better. He may be less satisfied, but for a while the girl will hold him back.
From the positive side, Viona was already a student of the academy now.
“Mother, when will I learn?”
Viona and Victor, who had been talking together, now turned their eyes towards Leili. They were not aware of the change in expression on his mother's face.
“Mother... mother is sick?” asked Viona who realized there was a reddish look on her mother's cheek.
“Oh? I'm not, is it true what you asked earlier?” Leili immediately folded the paper in her hand and then dismissed the thing that was bothering her earlier.
Viona ignored the strange behavior of her stepmother, then repeated her question earlier. “When do I study at the academy, Mom?”
“At the turn of the season, about two months away.”
“Once,” Viona back moody, “what should I do until then?”
Leili smiled faintly, as if she had already planned things for Viona in the future. “Just relax, you will be busy for the next month.”
Viona looked up and looked at her stepmother in confusion.
Leili picked up the gold-plated envelope with sparkling sender ink. “We are invited to the victory party in the capital in a month. So you have to learn etiquette and dance until that moment arrives.”
Then Leili woke up. Somehow Viona felt Leili looked more carefree than usual. Both of his eyebrows were not sharply furrowed.
“What does it mean to father back?” ask Victor with a happy look.
“Sure, he again brings victory to the kingdom.”
Daddyh.
Regan Cane Liez's. Marquis Liez was also the commander of the border forces that led the war with the western region.
Viona felt a cold sweat. He will meet his father. The man who locked Viona in a dungeon.
