The moment the castellan said that, he realized that the atmosphere was a little depressing. With his mind, he quickly realized that the two people he was about to introduce had already met before. However, Isaac was very tactful. After he realized it, he did not reveal anything on his face. He gently patted the red-haired beauty's hand that was holding his. "Come, Rowling, Daddy will introduce you. This is the famous Mage Felic."
"Mage Felic, this is my daughter, Rowling. She has liked to study medicine since young, and is also interested in pharmaceutics. If Mage Felic has the time in the future, why don't you give her some pointers? Consider it as giving face to this old man."
"You must be joking, Master Castellan. Miss Rowling's medical skills are excellent, why would she need my guidance …" Lin Li laughed it off, planning to brush this matter off.
But the speaker did not mean it, but the listener meant it. When the words "excellent medical skills" fell into Rowling's ears, her pretty face instantly turned pale. Although Ina had never blamed her, she still bore a grudge about what had happened that day. If not for the young mage's insistence, she would have almost harmed her best friend's father. This thought was like a poisonous snake that was entrenched in Rowling's heart, causing her to sink into self-blame and remorse all the time.
"Rowling … Rowling? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "The castellan noticed that his daughter's expression was strange, and could not help but ask with concern.
"It's nothing, Daddy. You go ahead with your work, I will be fine after resting here."
"Then have a good rest." Isaac hesitated, and worriedly asked Lin Li for help. "Mage Felic, can I trouble you to look after my daughter for a while? There are too many people today, and I really can't leave. Rowling's body has not been very good since young, I'm afraid that if she … "
"This … Alright." Lin Li hesitated for a while, but still nodded in agreement.
After Isaac left in a hurry, the atmosphere in this secluded corner became even more awkward.
"Sorry …" Neither of them spoke until the red-haired beauty broke the silence.
The sudden apology made Lin Li a little confused. "Hmm?"
"I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have suspected that you had any designs on Ina, and I shouldn't have stopped you from treating Mr McGrenn when I wasn't sure …" Rowling had been as proud as a swan since she was a child. Although she had realized her mistake, she still blushed and her voice was as soft as a mosquito when she apologized.
It took Lin Li a lot of effort to hear what she was saying. He couldn't help but find it funny. "You deliberately sent the castellan's enemy away just to tell me this?"
"I... I just want to apologize..." Having her thoughts seen through, the redness on Rowling's face deepened.
"There's no need to apologize. I don't know you that well anyway. If you just want peace of mind, leave the apology to Mr McGrenn. The person you almost killed was him, not me." Lin Li had always held a grudge against the red-haired beauty who almost killed McGrenn. Now that he heard the other party apologize, he felt irritated for no reason. He put down the glass in his hand with a cold face. "If there's nothing else, can you leave for a while? I'm not used to being alone with beautiful women. I'm afraid that if I can't help it, I'll go wild and do something bad … "
"I …" Rowling had never been treated so rudely in her entire life. For a moment, she felt wronged and angry. Her pair of beautiful eyes were misty and crystal clear tears were swirling in her eyes, looking like they were about to fall.
"Is there anything else?"
Rowling's red lips opened slightly, but she stopped talking. Her expression was even more aggrieved, and her tears were already dripping onto the dining table.
Lin Li was even more irritated by her crying. He simply put down the glass and stood up. "You're not leaving? Then I'll go! "
Once his stubborn temper flared up, he didn't care whether it was a red-haired beauty or a black-haired beauty. He kicked the chair away and walked towards the center of the banquet hall.
Rowling was slightly stunned. Only then did she realize that he was really going to leave. She couldn't care less about the embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind. "I... I want to learn pharmaceutics from you!"
"What?" Lin Li staggered and almost fell on the thick carpet. He turned around in disbelief and stared at Rowling for a long time before repeating with difficulty, "You... You want to learn pharmaceutics from me?"
"Yes!" Rowling's pretty face was flushed, but her expression was so firm at this moment. "I want to learn pharmaceutics from you!"
"…" Lin Li stood there in a daze for more than a minute before he asked with uncertainty, "Are you muddle-headed from anger?"
"I'm serious." Rowling's gaze was unusually firm, even with a hint of fanaticism.
"Seems like your illness is not light. Let's get someone to prescribe some medicine for you …" Lin Li didn't dare to look directly at that fanatical gaze. He only muttered a curse and was ready to slip away. That fanatical gaze made him a little afraid, and he didn't dare to continue being entangled with this girl.
"…" Rowling really wanted to learn pharmaceutics. She had studied medicine since she was young, and had received pointers from pharmacists. When her medical skills had gradually deepened, she realized that many problems that were difficult to solve with medical skills actually only required a small bottle of potion. However, pharmacists in the world of Anril were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Even with Rowling's noble status, learning pharmaceutics was an illusory thing.
Until that day at Ina's house, after a ridiculous misunderstanding, she realized that the person she had misunderstood was actually the pharmacist she had been looking for. At that time, Rowling was really ashamed and regretful. She was ashamed that she had almost harmed her best friend's father, and regretful that she had missed the opportunity to meet a pharmacist. There were many times when she wanted to personally go to the Guild of Magic to apologize, but she was stopped by that trace of reservation in her heart.
She didn't expect to see that young pharmacist again at her father's banquet after two days.
This time, Rowling abandoned her reservation, but the answer she got was, "You are sick, and it's not light …"
Rowling's heart was filled with indescribable grievances. Crystal clear tears swirled in her eyes and dripped onto the red carpet.
