( ) "……your friend?"

Judging from what Wei Li said, this may seem like a good beginning, but it may not lead to a still good ending.Although Wei Li always had a smile on her face, Maca could not make any comments on the girl in the story.

He is not such a rash person, and he still has the least emotional intelligence.

"Well," Wei Li nodded seriously, "If... I can smile... Maybe..."

Under Willie's intermittent narration, Maca gradually learned about the first brief friendship in her life.

...

"Villy, over here! There are butterflies!"

"Oh."

In the backyard of Fort Blois, there was a flowerbed that was like spring all year round.

This enchanted flowerbed always maintains a suitable temperature, and various gorgeous flowers bloom in it. It was once the place that Madame Blois personally transformed.

Wei Li's mother is a witch who loves various plants. Drinking tea with the refreshing fragrance of flowers every noon is her favorite leisure activity.

After her death, Mr. Blois re-imposed the spell on her behalf, so that they continued to flourish.

Recently, this somewhat deserted flower garden suddenly became lively.

Eva and Willie often ran around among the flowers, chasing and playing around with each other, and when they were tired, they lay on their backs and rested under the flowers.

Although Wei Li was still expressionless, the cute baby didn't seem to mind, she was still smiling and accompanied, and the relationship with Wei Li seemed to be getting better and better.

Of course, in addition to the most frequently visited flower gardens, there are also many places for children to play in this huge Blois castle.

In the following month, the pair of little girls, who were completely different in appearance and in heart, left happy footprints in various places in the castle.

However, the opportunity to collapse this seemingly perfect friendship seemed to come too hastily.The still young Wei Li didn't even have time to recover, and everything came to an end.

It happened on the shore of the lake behind the hills of Fort Blois.

It was an afternoon when the weather was slightly gloomy, and Eva and Wei Li went to the small dock by the lake together.Originally, they were still playing well, and they were racing to throw stones further into the lake.

But suddenly, Veri slipped without warning and fell into the lake with a plop.

Eva, who was at a loss, panicked, she shook her hands on the edge of the pier, and kept shouting.But after a few shouts, she seemed to finally remembered something, stood up and ran to the castle.

In the end, it was not the servant that Ewa called to rescue Xiao Wei Li, but herself.

Perhaps it was the instinct to survive when it was a matter of life and death. Like Maca, she was saved by her sudden runaway magic.

However, during the half-day when little Wei Li was unconscious, Eva was severely reprimanded by his parents in front of Wei Li's father.

But even so, Mr. Blois, Willie's father, remained cold and silent.

The baby girl who made him feel guilty and blamed himself was almost gone-this crisis of almost losing the meaning of life made Mr. Blois' heart tremble.

Early the next morning, Eva's parents offered to leave, and Mr. Blois nodded silently.When they walked coldly on the square in front of Fort Blois, Willie, who had just woke up last night, sneaked out.

"Sorry."

Facing Eva who stood alone in silence in front of her parents, Wei Li apologized.

She didn't know why she had to apologize-even if she knew the situation from the maid, she was still ignorant.But she vaguely felt that in this situation, all she could do was apologize.

Eva still pressed her lips tightly, her eyes falling on the ground of the square.

In Wei Li's vision, Eva's gloomy face was almost mixed with the same gloomy sky behind her.A kind of icy cold that Wei Li still couldn't understand, spread silently in the surrounding air.

"...I'm sorry." Wei Li whispered, "Are we... still friends...?"

"friend?"

As if this word broke the tense string in Ewa's heart, she suddenly raised her head, tears filled her eyes.

"You say we are'friends'?"

"Yeah?" Wei Li said mutily.

"Did you laugh at me this month?" Eva's crisp voice became a little fuzzy, but her voice became higher and higher, "It's me who is laughing! Only me! You really Have you ever regarded me as a friend? No matter what you do, you have this expression. I don't understand what you are thinking!"

"Eva!" her father shouted, "you are not allowed to say that! Have you forgotten the etiquette class?"

The little Ewa, who was originally older and more sensible than her peers, bit her lip and broke free from the palm of her father's shoulder.She stared at Willie angrily and wronged, conveying a silent accusation.

In fact, this so-called "friendship" was a stage play full of falsehoods from the beginning.

Mr. Blois, who was worried about his daughter's loneliness, asked his old friend to let the two children make friends; and the father of Ewa, who was worried about his old friend, agreed very happily.

Eva took the initiative to show good wishes to Wei Li, which was originally his father's order.The obedient little Ewa quickly became acquainted with Xiao Wei Li according to his father's wishes.

But who knows, in this somewhat awkward stage play, there is a little protagonist who is kind by nature.

After only two days of acting in the "drama", Eva also fell in love with the delicate and lovely little Wei Li.Although she has been unable to understand Wei Li, who is not very talkative, she never gives up trying to understand.

But this kind of repeated attempts is actually a kind of depression.

No matter how sensible Eva is, she is just a little girl who is not yet at school.While she kept smiling and trying to open Wei Li's "mask", her cheerful enthusiasm gradually cooled in the failures.

No matter what she did, Wei Li didn't show any expression, her eyes were so cold that she was chilling.

Therefore, when she was scolded by her father for nothing this time, and infinitely wronged in her heart, she finally chose to give up.

"...Yes, sorry."

Suddenly by Eva's screaming question, Wei Li, who was caught off guard, was stunned.But she didn't know what to do, and the vocabulary in her heart was even more fragmented.

She, who is usually not good at words, seems to have forgotten how to speak when she panicked.There was only one "I'm sorry", repeated in her mouth, like a broken tape recorder.

"Enough!" Eva screamed and interrupted Wei Li, "What's'I'm sorry'...Look at your face! Is this a face that is apologizing?"

After hearing the words, Wei Li gently touched her face, a daze flashed in her eyes.

When she came back to her senses, she found that Eva had followed her parents far away. Under the gray sky, only a few hazy back figures remained in her memory.

...

"...I don't want friends anymore."

In the stone room, Maca listened quietly to Wei Li's narration, and finally nodded slightly.

"Misunderstanding...?"

"Yeah." Wei Li said leisurely, "Later, I made... two wishes..."

"Make a wish?" Maca questioned.

"Yes, make a wish..." Willie smiled and said, "I want my father, help me find another mother... I want my father... send me to Hogwarts."

"It's the one I saw in your house—" Maca said suddenly.

Willie nodded.

"Then, I met Maca." She blinked her eyes and looked at Maca and said, "You are the same as Eva...the same...you always talk to me, always stay with me...always."

"Uh..." Maca smiled, "I just thought at first that you are very special among your classmates at Hogwarts."

"You are my friend..." Wei Li stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Maca. "The second one."

"is it?"

"Well," Wei Li nodded, "So I...I always thought...I must smile for you."

"Then you figured out a way to make this kind of potion?" Maca was a little surprised, "How do you know that Mystery Crystal Flower can resist the effects of curses?"

"Flower seed..." Wei Li pointed to her chest, "make the curse quieter."

Because he hadn't really analyzed the bloodline curse of Willie, Maca didn't know the reason.In this case, Wei Li's own feeling seemed to be the only answer.

Although magic research cannot be judged by "feeling", Maca has this answer in mind for the time being.

"You really..." He suddenly felt that it was not easy for him to be alive.

The two chatted a few more words, and Maca suddenly remembered a very important thing.

"Then...what about your seal?" He asked worriedly, "Can the curse be sealed again? Nothing will happen, right?"

Wei Li shook her head and pointed to the corner of the wall.

"Ask my father."

At Willie's gesture, Maca asked about the remaining potions, and personally filled Mr. Blois.After waiting for a while, Maca cleared the curse remaining on him.

"Villy!"

As soon as he woke up, Blois immediately stood up and looked for the location of Willie in shock.

"my daughter--"

"father."

As soon as Blois saw his seemingly safe daughter, he staggered and almost fell to the ground again.But he quickly recovered and ran to the bed in a hurry.

"My daughter—why did you forcibly unlock the seal? This—"

"Mr. Blois?"

Maca yelled in surprise, but Blois seemed to have not heard Maca's words, completely panicked.

"On the genealogy...no! No matter whether you can re-seal or not, I won't let you suffer any harm! I swear!"
