"well?"
Anweina took a half-step back, but behind her was the wall of the banquet hall. The cold wall gave Anweina a hard touch, making her consciousness become much calmer from the previous panic.
"My... what's the matter?"
She asked hesitantly, but seeing Reiner's eyes, the maid lady already understood that the other party had probably guessed everything.
Yes, how could someone who could reveal the secrets of the Albiore family just based on theory not see through this.
"Miss Anweina, who is your father?"
Reiner glanced at Alymiya. She was surrounded by several students, exchanging something. She didn't notice it. After a pause, Reiner continued.
"When I looked up the Albiore family tree, I found that the Albiore family's golden hair still maintained a strong dominant feature even when they married with foreigners."
Reiner whispered quickly and briefly.
"We have all seen your mother. She has brown hair, but you have dazzling blond hair. Even though there is a little mottled color, generally speaking, it can still be considered as bright blond hair."
If Anweina appeared elsewhere, Reiner would certainly not have any suspicion, just like Claire, although she also had blond hair, had nothing to do with the Albiore family.
From Anweina's words, we can know that her mother used to be a maid in the Albiore family, and her father is missing. Her blond hair is worth pondering.
"What follows is all my guess, you can take it as a joke."
Reiner shrugged and said that he was not interested in exposing other people's secrets. What he was doing now was simply confirming the correctness of his own genetic rules.
"When your mother was a maid, she was done some indescribable things by William, the head of the Albiore family. The reason why it was William and not George was because of your bright golden hair. Originally, there was no relationship between the master and the maid. What happens is very common, but the Albiore family is a pure-blood family and they do not allow their blood to flow out. If your mother gave birth to you in the Albiore family, you may suffer Her fate will be even worse than Emilia’s before.”
The illegitimate daughter will be reduced to a tool for the eldest son to vent his desires, and will not even have the title of wife.
Although being a maid requires hard work on weekdays, at least, Anweina still has freedom to a certain extent.
"Your existence is a secret to the Albiore family. Perhaps your mother made up a lie, or perhaps it was William's unintentional act. Of course, it is more likely that he has defiled too many maids. , I have long forgotten the existence of your mother, Emiya, and of course I don’t know about your half-sister."
Anweina was shocked by Reiner's words.
It's not that she has never had such conjectures. Anweina knows that blond hair is very rare among people of this generation. She has never asked her mother who her father is, but over the years, as her experience has grown, Anweina He also had some guesses about his life experience.
Now, Reiner had completely reasoned out this matter.
He could even deduce that Anweina's father was not George but William, which was much more specific and detailed than Anweina's own guess.
Once the answer was revealed, Anweina felt a little sad.
In the past, she had kept this secret deep in her heart, but when she saw Alymiya being restrained by the power of her family, Anweina felt like she had seen a certain future version of herself.
Somewhat shamefully, she felt a little lucky that her mother had left the manor in order to give birth to her. Otherwise, without any protection, she might have been poisoned by Edward.
Perhaps because of these emotions, Anweina was very concerned about rescuing Alimiya and helping her escape from the shackles of the Albiore family. Perhaps she felt that in the process of rescuing Alimiya, she was also helping her in disguise. Save yourself.
"Now Edward has become a useless person. According to their family's tradition, although an illegitimate daughter cannot obtain the right to inherit, it is no problem to at least return to the family and enjoy some noble treatment. Although Emilia refused to inherit here, legally , she has to deal with this manor after all, maybe you can’t be a maid here anymore.”
Reiner said, making Anweina raise her head.
"No, I am my mother's daughter and have nothing to do with the Albiore family."
Anweina said firmly, looking directly into Reiner's eyes.
"Maybe from now on, this manor no longer needs me, but I won't beg for any benefit in exchange for my identity."
Perhaps it was because of being a maid for so many years that Anweina realized that relying on status and blood to dominate others was not something to be proud of.
Although she once imagined that one day her true identity would be revealed and she would become a rich young lady, but now, Anweina does not yearn for this kind of life.
"It seems you have found your own path."
Reiner did not interfere much. Anweina's choice was her own personal will, and Reiner was not arrogant enough to try to change other people's decisions.
Putting your own ideas above the will of others is what the Albiore family does.
After thinking for a moment, Reiner said nothing more. There were still a few doubts in the matter, but they were no longer important.
So he handed over a small piece of paper with his name on it, as well as the logo and address of Crescent College. This kind of thing called a business card was made by Reiner in his spare time. I heard that he was a mage of a slightly higher rank. , almost all have their own business cards.
"If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to Crescent College to find me. Of course, you are welcome to come over and meet Alymiya when you have nothing to do."
"Yeah, I will."
Taking the business card, Anweina showed a faint smile. Only then did Reiner realize that this maid lady did have some similarities with Alymiya. Her soft smile was like the warm sunshine, with a bit of... Warmth.
Reiner couldn't help but start to imagine what Emilia, who had always had a bad look at him, would look like if she smiled, and looked over.
Emilia noticed Reiner's gaze. She was habitually a little angry, but she seemed to have changed her mind after thinking about it.
The next moment, Alymiya showed a faint smile, and the subtle upward movement of the corners of her mouth was clearly caught by Reiner's eyes. It was different from Anweina's, a more restrained smile, as if Alymiya I'm not used to showing such an expression.
But paired with her long crimson hair, this smile is even more precious and dazzling.
Like a gem.
