"Mia-chan? Why are you here? " As Tisdale was speaking, she noticed Baiyi who was standing behind Mia. Quickly, she stood up and bowed slightly towards him. Seizing the opportunity, she quickly composed herself and reverted back to the sunny and beautiful girl from before, as though the depressed and depressed person was a completely different person. She continued to say, "Mr. Hope, did you bring Mia here for a meal? That's great! Let me treat you to a meal! "
Just as she was about to call the waiter over, trying to use that to ease the awkwardness, Mia suddenly interjected, "Sis Tisdale, we've already eaten. Besides, we also saw and heard it just now …"
"I-Is that so?" Tisdale's smile turned bitter again. Rubbing her face in embarrassment, she apologized, "I'm sorry, Mia-chan. I let you see my ugly side."
Mia did not say anything. Instead, she quickly ran up and threw herself into Tisdale's arms. Hugging her tightly, she wanted to use such a warm hug to ease the pain in Tisdale's heart.
Baiyi let out a low sigh and followed her into the room. Closing the door behind him, he cast a Silence Enchantment. At that moment, he was also hesitating whether he should intervene in the internal conflicts of other families or not. But since Mia would not leave Tisdale alone, he did not want to stop her.
"Sis Tisdale, is it because your elders want you to marry someone you don't like?" Mia asked worriedly. Perhaps, this was a problem that every noble girl would have. Even some of Mia's classmates were beginning to worry about it.
However, Baiyi's thoughts were not as simple as Mia's. At that moment, he saw the heavy pressure on Tisdale. It came from the responsibility, honor, and the burden of the family that was weighing heavily on Tisdale's slender body. It made her look even more exhausted than Undine who was shouldering the mission of reviving the family. For a strong girl like her, who dared to save Mia from the hands of an adult at such a young age, to be forced into such a state, it was most likely not a simple marriage problem.
But then again, how bad are the nobles in this world? Why did everyone throw such a heavy burden onto the girl? Baiyi thought to himself as he used his mana to move the plates on the table to the side. He then poured two cups of hot tea from the teapot and placed them beside the two girls. He fiddled with the teacup in his hand as he sat down, quietly listening to the conversation between the two girls.
"It's not like that, Mia," Tisdale replied, "It's just that some things are more complicated than you think." After saying that, she reached out her hand to comb Mia's long hair and pinched Mia's little face. Perhaps it was because Mia's concern made her feel much more relaxed. Once again, a gentle smile appeared on her face and she turned back into the Tisdale that Mia knew.
"Don't worry about me. I can handle it. Trust me, okay? Just like two years ago, "Tisdale added.
"But …" Mia wanted to say something else, but Tisdale's gentle and determined gaze made her speechless.
"Alright alright, I'm your amazing Sister Tisdale. Don't worry about me!" Tisdale said as she lowered her head to take a closer look at Mia's attire. Then, she exclaimed in admiration, "You look so beautiful today, Mia! You should be the one who should be careful not to attract the attention of those nobles!"
"I'm not afraid of that! I have Mr. Hope! " Mia pouted, refusing to admit defeat. At the same time, she turned around to look at the silent Baiyi. Tisdale followed her line of sight and nodded her head politely at Baiyi. However, there was an unnatural shyness on her face. Perhaps, it was because she had thought of something childish?
"Tsk... How did the little girl know that you don't plan to let her get married? Is it a woman's intuition or sixth sense? "The Archmage asked in the Void.
I didn't say that I won't let her get married, right? It's just that the person has to meet my requirements first. Baiyi defended himself forcefully. Then, he asked everyone in the Void, "About Tisdale's side, do you want me to ask a few more questions?"
The beautiful and generous Tisdale was undoubtedly very cute. Baiyi's impression of her was indeed quite good. Previously, when he saw her like that, he wanted to help her but at the same time, he was also the representative of the Voidwalkers and shouldered the interests of the Voidwalkers. So, it was better for him to ask for the opinion of other people before he interfered with the troublesome affairs of the nobles.
Naturally, his teacher was on his side. The Archmage was the first to agree and said, "Tisdale always gives me a sense of familiarity. I've always suggested that you get to know her more."
As an older woman, the Scholar naturally had the characteristic of being a busybody. She also agreed and said, "If it's within your power, it's also a good thing to help Mia's friend. She doesn't have many friends and she can't always be with Sir Hope in the future, right?"
"She seems to have a good relationship with my junior, Undine, so of course, I would like to ask her about it," The Merchant chimed in.
The Paladin, who was the representative of the Hentai Party, quickly chimed in, "The five of us unanimously agree that if we can't even protect a girl's smile, we're not worthy of being called a strong person. Not to mention, Tisdale is such a pushover.
Alright, I understand what you Hentai Party mean. You can continue to remain silent.
The representatives of the neutral party, the Hitman and the Warrior, did not express any objection. The Thane even said, "I agree with Lady Scholar's opinion. Everyone needs friends and partners."
In the end, even the Lich and the Devil, who were from the evil parties, did not express any objection. They only advised Baiyi to be careful and not get involved.
With that, Baiyi could finally interrupt the conversation between the two girls. Frankly, he said, "Tisdale, you can ask me for help."
The words sounded simple and ordinary but it represented the promise of a Voidwalker. The weight of it was extraordinarily heavy.
Mia, who already had a preliminary understanding of Baiyi's ability, had her eyes lit up. Quickly, she pulled Tisdale's hand and exclaimed excitedly, "Sis Tisdale, if Mr. Hope is willing to help you, with his wisdom, I'm sure he can solve anything!"
Tisdale was stunned. She did not expect that the arrogant Master Hope would actually take the initiative to say something like that. She could not help but recall the heartwarming scene of Hope guiding her magic step by step like a father. Instinctively, she wanted to say yes but at the same time, she remembered the promise that her family had made and instinctively, she wanted to say no.
The conflicting feelings made her speechless for a moment. All she could do was to look at Baiyi in silence. Her emotions that she had finally calmed down were once again stirred up again. Uncontrollably, tears began to well up in her eyes.
Mia immediately noticed that Tisdale's eyes were red. Quickly, she asked, "Sis Tisdale? Why are you crying? "
"N-Nothing." Tisdale quickly rubbed her eyes and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hope. I made you see such a shameful scene."
Is the problem that serious? Baiyi could not help but feel curious. He could not help but say, "Regardless of whether you accept my help or not, I think you can try to say it out. That way, you'll feel better."
"Actually … It's not that serious." Tisdale shook her head with a bitter smile, "It's just that I'm going to break a promise that has been passed down in my family for a long time …" As she said that, she softly chanted a short paragraph in a strange language that Mia could not understand and continued, "It's this promise that has been the glory and mission of our family for thousands of years. I can't believe that in the end, it's going to be me …"
Just as Mia was about to ask Baiyi what she meant by those strange words, she heard the sound of porcelain shattering behind her. Quickly turning around, she saw that the teacup that Baiyi had been playing with earlier had been smashed into pieces. It was obvious that he had lost his composure because of the huge emotional upheaval.
"Eh?" The two girls exclaimed in confusion at the same time. The Mr. Hope that they knew was not a person who would be easily affected by something like that.
"It's nothing. Just give me some time to calm down," Baiyi replied perfunctorily. Then, he turned to the other Voidwalkers and asked, "Do you think it's possible for a family to be passed down for 6000 years?"
"For humans, it's very difficult …" The Soul Armature Practitioner replied, "Even with the emergence of Soul Armatures, even if the lifespan of the strong is greatly increased, it's common to see families with hundreds or even thousands of years of history. But 6000 years is still not enough. This means that there must be a strong person who has enough longevity in every generation and there can't be too many accidents along the way. This is just too difficult. In the face of endless time, human beings are just too insignificant. "
"If such a family really exists, then there's no doubt that they're great," the Soul Armature Practitioner said. "But if there's a promise that has been passed down for 6000 years … I don't know what kind of loyalty is needed to maintain it for such a long time."
"What's the promise that Tisdale made? Why are you so agitated that I feel as though the entire void is trembling? "The Little Magician then followed up with a question.
"You're mistaken. I only crushed a cup. The one who is trembling from excitement is actually my teacher." Baiyi replied. "As for that sentence, it was read in Ancient Rohlserlian. It means …"
