"Annie, are you going to give the little girl another blind date during this period?" Regnar approached Annelotte and asked quietly.

"Do you think little Yi Ni will agree?" Annelotte stretched out her hand to push Regna away who was too close.

"Well… "

"Okay, maybe I can introduce her to you now." Annelotte pointed at Inelise, and then said proudly: "This lady is Inelise, the most famous person in the history of the Hawke Empire. The youngest member of the Palace Apothecary Association. He is also the designer of the latest formula of cold resistance potion."

Regnar's eyes were so wide that they almost flew out of his head. He stared at Inelis for two full minutes before he stammered: "Palace... Palace... Palace... Medicine... Pharmacist Association? !Youngest member?! Cold resistance potion?!"

"Hello, Mr. Regnar." Inelise bowed with the etiquette of a noble lady. The little girl's face was flushed with excitement now, and if she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she would have burst out laughing.

It has been five months, more than five months of hard work, more than five months of hard work, more than five months of hard work. What is she for? What she wanted was to see Regnar's surprised expression, so that he could see her efforts, and so that he could truly face herself. Today, Enelise tasted the fruits of her hard work for the first time, and one can imagine her excitement.

The little girl looked at Regner with his mouth wide open and an expression of disbelief on his face, and suddenly felt that the hard work and fatigue of the past six months were worth it. Inelise had no idea that the feeling of reward after hard work would be so sweet. In just a moment, she made up her mind to become the most outstanding pharmacist in the world. She wanted to exchange her rapid progress for Regnar's daily surprise and attention.

Seeing Regnar's stunned expression, Inelise was filled with energy. If it hadn't been during the banquet, this little girl would have wanted to go back to her room right now and continue studying those magic potion books.

"You mean..." Regnar was stunned for a long time before continuing to ask: "Yini has now become... a mage?"

Regnar knew that pharmacy was a branch of the field of magic alchemy. If Inelise is a member of the Court Apothecaries, doesn't that mean she is now an alchemist? The alchemist is a variant of the mage.

"Unfortunately, that is not the case." Annelotte surprisingly shook her head: "Little Yi Ni is only able to sense the existence of magic. Now she can only be said to be a first-level mage apprentice. .”

"..." Regnar was a little confused.

Annelotte looked at Regnar, then sighed. She gently touched Inelise's little head, and then said: "You have no idea what little Inelis has put in during the past six months." effort."

"Yini, you..." Regnar looked down and found that the little girl's eyes were slightly red, and there were signs of crying.

"At the beginning, Yi Ni made a request to me to learn magic." Annelotte continued: "I disagreed at first because I could hardly sense any magic energy fluctuations from her body. . This shows that it is difficult for her to resonate with magic, so I rejected her. But Yini pestered me for three days, and I had no choice but to start enlightening her with magic."

"What's the result?" Regnar reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Inelise's eyes, and then hugged her into his arms.

Today, let Yi Ni be happy... Annelotte stared at Regnar for a long time, and finally said calmly: "The result is just as I expected, she can't become a mage because she can't sense magic at all. Existence... After that, Yi Ni begged me to train her as a warrior or ranger. She exercised every day and worked hard to sense the existence of magic. But after a month of trying, I finally confirmed that Yi Ni simply did not exist. You cannot practice, whether it is practicing fighting spirit or practicing magic."

"What's next?" Regnar patted Enelise gently on the back. He felt the little girl's body trembling. It seemed that she had really suffered a lot of grievances in the past few months...

"I originally wanted her to give up, but Ini refused." Annelotte said: "One day when I was trying to persuade her, I discovered that one of her talents was very outstanding."

"Are you talented in pharmacy?" Regnar asked.

"To be precise, it is the talent of theoretical magic." Annelotte gave the standard answer: "Although Yi Ni cannot sense the existence of magic, this does not hinder her understanding and research of magic. In other words, she Although she does not have the ability to practice it herself, if it is just a theory, Ini has a very unique knowledge and understanding of magic. However, her talent is particularly outstanding in magic potions."

"Is that so..." Regnar patted Inelis's head lovingly: "Inelis has been working very hard these past few months!"

"For Brother Regnar, Ini thinks it's worth it!" Inelise said very boldly.

"Uh..." Regnar suddenly became embarrassed. It would be fine if there was no one on either side, but now there was Annelotte standing next to him! Yi Ni, do you want to commit suicide with me by doing this

Just when Regnar was thinking wildly, a murderous aura suddenly came from Regnar's side. Regnar turned his head and found Malolite staring at him with an indescribable look.

"Boy, what's going on with this little girl? Can you explain it to me?" Malloryt conveyed what she wanted to say with her eyes.

"This..." Regnar also quickly learned Malolite's language skills. He said with his eyes: "This is difficult to explain in a few words. How about I explain it to you again if I have a chance in the future?"

"Hmph, don't think that the lack of any expression on Annie's face means that everything is fine. This girl keeps everything hidden in her heart, so I warn you, don't use Annie's silence as a tool for your connivance!" Mallory He threatened with a fierce look.

"I understand..." Regnar responded vaguely. He just wanted to deal with Inelise's matter this time, but he didn't expect that Inelise would go to this extent for himself.

It's not that Regnar doesn't have any feelings for Inelise, it's just that he hasn't dealt with Annelotte and Irene's affairs well, so he never dares to face someone's feelings again. This is not to say that Regnar doesn't value Inelise. In his opinion, Inelise's importance is no less important than that of Annelotte and Irene. But because everything between the two women was in a mess before, Regnar really didn't dare to make Inelise sad anymore, because he really owed her too much.

But Regnar didn't expect that Inelise's attitude towards him would be so persistent and determined. It was only then that Regnar realized that if he dragged on with Inelis like this, it might hurt her even more.

So, Regnar took a deep breath, then he put his hands on Inelise's shoulders and said seriously to the astonished little girl: "I'm sorry, Iny, brother is really an idiot."

"Huh?" Inelise wiped the slightly moist corners of her eyes and looked at Regna with some confusion.

"Brother clearly knows what you are thinking, but because of his cowardice, he always escapes and dare not accept it. I even made up a reason why I didn't want you to get hurt because of it, but now it seems that this Everything is actually my excuse." Regnar said apologetically: "Brother used the excuse of not wanting to hurt you to resist your feelings. It wasn't until today that I realized that doing so actually hurt you. Bigger. So, I want to apologize to you. What happened to Gerhard before was already an irreparable fault for me. Now that I have made you sad like this, I... I don’t know what the use of an apology is. But , please believe me, this apology is just the beginning. Next, I will do my best to make up for these mistakes. I only hope that it is not too late... "

"Brother Regnar..." Although Regnar spoke clumsily for a long time, Inelise was still moved by Regnar's clumsy words. The little girl threw herself directly into Regnar's arms. She sobbed and said, "I don't blame you, I really don't blame you... I have never blamed you for the death of my brothers and sisters. Brother Regnar, you don't have to You blame yourself for this... If you do this, I will be even more sad."

"..." Regnar remained silent, just gently stroking Inelise's golden hair.

"Brother..." Inelise raised her head: "I have a request..."

"Go ahead..." Regnar smiled.

"I..." Enelise's face turned red. She held it in for a long time before she stammered: "I want to be your..."

"Fiancée..." These three words, Enelise's voice didn't even sound like a mosquito hum. But both Regnar and Annelotte present were considered strong men, and they still had some hearing.

When Inelise finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence. Annelotte turned her face away, seemingly uninterested. Inelise rubbed the hem of her evening dress nervously and coyly, seeming to be very nervous about Regnar's next answer.

As for Regnar, he didn't show any surprise or panic like before. After so many things, he already knew exactly what Inelis thought of him. So when the little girl said these three words, Regna was not surprised.

Regnar raised his head and looked at Annelotte who seemed to be in a daze, then lowered his head and said to Inelise: "I'm sorry, Ini..."

"Really..." After hearing the first words, Inelise's eyes completely dimmed, and the little girl murmured in a daze.

"You are not yet fourteen years old, you are too young." Regnar said.

"Is it just because of age..." Inelise lowered her head, tears falling down. She thought that Regnar finally understood her feelings today and finally began to accept her identity as something other than "sister". But now it seems that I am still too anxious...

"Yes, you are too young." Regnar paused and then said, "But, I am willing to wait until you grow up."
