Chapter 1253: Natalia's Tragedy (I.)

Who is the authorline of "The Prince's Adventures: Encounters with Akron", "Lady Louisa"?

An innocent girl like Isabel, who is not deeply involved in the world, naturally thinks that this person is really a female writer, but Roland knows it - the so-called "Madame Louisa" is not a female writer, but just a pen name specially chosen by Master Anthony Fogel for publication!

Hearing Isabelle's self-professed admiration for "Madame Louisa", Roland almost burst into laughter, and was eager to write to Major Fogel at once, telling him that there was a beautiful female reader in Sayre who admired him.

With ulterior motives, Roland ruthlessly exposed the true face of "Madame Louisa" in front of Isabel; And when the mayor's daughter learned that the literary idol she once admired, "Madame Louisa", was actually a man, the expression of shock and disappointment on her face...... It's full of disillusionment.

Roland picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and handed it to the mayor's daughter, inquiring intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss Isabel, how long have you been learning the art of mechanics?" ”

"It's been almost ten years." Isabel took a sip of wine and recalled, "When I first came into contact with mechanics, my sister Natalia was still alive, and Matvey's son Leonid often came to visit her condition, and accidentally mentioned that the use of mechanics could help her recover her health, and since then I have developed a strong interest in mechanics, and secretly went to Matvey's technical school to listen to lectures, I was only nine years old at the time, and no one thought that a little girl like me could really understand those complex technical theories, I didn't believe I could understand the legacy of the Trap Warlock, but after just one year, I was a true Trap Warlock, much to the surprise of everyone, including Mr. Matvey and my parents! ”

Isabel smirked and continued, "Since then, I've become the youngest female Trap Warlock in Cell, and a wild girl who has failed to educate in the eyes of my parents. ”

"Mr. Matvey is justifiably proud to have taught a student as good as you." Nikita said.

"Who knows?" Isabel shrugged, "The teacher never compliments his students to their faces, unless you have attended his class, you can't imagine how strict he is, once I was five minutes late, he stopped the lecture and reprimanded me in front of the class: If you think something else is more important, don't come to class; If you think it's more important to listen to me give this lesson, it's best to be on time. ”

"It's only five minutes late, this old man is really unkind!" Nikita remembered that when she visited Matvey in the afternoon, the strange old man only gave Roland five minutes to speak, and when the time was up, he didn't accommodate for a second, and turned to leave. Looking back now, she still feels angry in her heart.

"In fact, Mr. Matvey is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and you will know how kind he is when you have more contact, but because of his professional relationship, he attaches great importance to time, and punctuality is not a commendable virtue?" Isabel defended her teacher, "It seems to me that those who are well-born and have a bright mind do nothing all their lives because they have no sense of time, lack a sense of urgency in their lives, and unconsciously waste their lives on frivolous things. ”

"Hah! My dear Isabel, look at the tone you speak like an old pedant! Nikita laughed and teased the mayor's daughter.

Isabel giggled, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

"Isabel, does Mr. Matvey have any family in this town?" Roland stopped the girls from gossiping in time and brought the topic back on track.

"The teacher's wife was also a native, a gentle and beautiful old woman, but unfortunately she died eight years ago," Isabelle's eyes showed sympathy, "The teacher had an only son named Leonid, the most gifted magician the town had ever seen, and it was believed that he would one day surpass his father...... Leonid was seven years older than me, the same age as my sister, and if Natalia had been alive, Leonid would not have run away from home, and if that tragedy hadn't happened, maybe they would have been married by now......"

Isabel sighed regretfully.

"Why did Leonid run away from home?" Nikita inquired curiously.

"This matter is very complicated to talk about, and it has something to do with my family, I don't know the specific details, all in all, Leonid may be too smart, too proud, and it is difficult to get along with people, even Mr. Matvey's words he can't listen to, the father and son often have conflicts, and finally completely fell out, Mr. Matvey was so angry that he swore not to recognize him as a son, Leonid also stubbornly ran away from home, and it has been six years now, and he has never returned to the town of Sayre, Leaving the teacher behind and living alone at an age is really ruthless! Isabel sighed, "Although the teacher doesn't say anything, I can see that he often misses his son, and sometimes feels lonely, probably to relieve loneliness, he has created a 'clockwork attendant' as a companion...... Have you met Jack? ”

"When I visited Matvey's house in the morning, I saw a very delicate clockwork structure." Nikita was amazed.

"Fun, isn't it?" Isabel jumped excitedly, a nineteen-year-old girl, but exuded childlike childishness, "I also want to be a playful clockwork squire like Jack, but unfortunately my craft is still a little lacking, in Sail Town, only one person can make the same delicate clockwork structure." ”

"The man you're talking about isn't Matvey's only son, Leonid?"

"That's him...... Alas, Leonid is not a bad person, but his personality is more eccentric than his father's, and it is really difficult to put it into words. Isabel shook her head, and stopped talking.

Roland saw that she wanted to talk and was considerate, so he quietly went around in circles, and turned to ask about her sister, who died young.

"In the morning, Mr. Ferdinando spoke of Natalia and was saddened by the untimely death of his eldest daughter."

"Oh? Will my father take the initiative to bring up Natalia? Isabel looked at Roland in surprise, "What a strange thing! ”

"Probably because Mr. Mayor didn't treat me as an outsider." Roland said with a smile.

Nikita threw a narrow look at him, silently condemning him for playing "words" with the innocent little girl, but did not expose it to his face.
