Don't Confiscate My Citizenship Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Lanqi's famous teacher one-on-one

 The next day.

　In this winter morning, the morning light shines through the thick fog on the marble brick wall of the Lord's Mansion in Lilom City.

This mansion is located at the back of the city, surrounded by exquisite gardens. You can see the mountains and forests in the distance. The exquisitely carved family crest above the door reflects the light, heralding the beginning of the day.

Viscount Francis took Lanci out of the dining room on the first floor of the mansion.

 In the mansion, the magic furnace dispels the coldness of winter.

“I hope you are still used to our breakfast style in the Northern Continent.”

Viscount Francis said with a smile, his voice deep and gentle.

 “This is the best hospitality I have ever received, thank you.”

Ranchi responded.

After the two happily had breakfast together, Viscount Francis and Lanci walked down a long corridor in the mansion. The walls were hung with portraits of past viscounts. The carpets were imported from the southern continent, and their complex patterns and colors gave them a A feeling of warmth and tranquility.

"You will have to work hard next. No matter whether you can successfully get Zestila to receive instruction, please don't feel pressured."

Viscount Francis said.

 “I will try my best, Lord Viscount.”

 They finally arrived at a door decorated with exquisite wood carvings.

Viscount Francis knocked on the door lightly, but there was no response. He still waited for a few seconds, and then slowly opened the door.

　　What appeared in front of them was a stunning private space. Miss Zestila's room was decorated like a small museum, with various books, magic crystals, artworks and antiques neatly arranged.

A large window allows natural winter light to softly shine into the room, reflecting vividly on the collections and decorations in the room.

 And the figure of a young girl was next to the desk on the window side of the room.

“This Mr. Lodge is your new tutor. He is from the Southern Continent. I think the culture there is different from ours.”

The Viscount stood at the door, holding the door handle, thinking thoughtfully.

The figure in the room just glanced back at Viscount Francis and Lan Qi, then ignored them and continued to read his magic book.

Just like just now, turning around just gave Viscount Francis face.

 “Mr. Lodge, please forgive me.”

Viscount Francis shook his head.

“Leave it to me, Lord Francis. Thank you for your family's kindness to me.”

Lan Qi nodded.

　　…Then I will go to work first.”

Viscount Francis patted Lanqi's arm and closed the door for him.

Outside the window of Zestila's room, the winter sun is gradually rising, and a new journey of teaching and learning is about to begin.

Lan Qi held the book and walked to another chair in the room to sit down with a smile.

 He kept a certain distance from Zestila, as if to ensure that he would not invade her territory.

Then Lan Qi started to take out a pen and wrote on the imperial textbook without any intention of giving a lecture.

The figure still sat quietly on the long table against the wall. On her head were two dragon horns with metallic luster like thin blades. Her dark black hair had a hint of blue luster. The most obvious feature in her eyes was the Vertical pupils with a hint of ferocity and distance.

The cat boss hid in the shadow and observed quietly. The viscountess looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. No wonder she was in preparatory school.

However, even though she is so young, her magic power is far stronger than that of Lan Qi, at least to the point where it is stronger than the second level.

It has never seen Lan Qi teach anyone, so it doesn't know what Lan Qi's teaching level is.

Just like that, Lan Qi didn't talk to her, and she didn't pay attention to Lan Qi, which lasted for nearly half an hour.

Zestila did not drive away or stop her reading, as if the new tutor was like another piece of furniture in the room.

 But over time, Lan Qi became calmer than her.

　　Zestila, who was almost motionless, finally changed the frequency of flipping through books.

 She felt a little confused.

Although this new teacher wouldn't annoy her as soon as he arrived, the fact that this guy just stayed with her and wouldn't leave made her very uncomfortable.

 “Have you had breakfast, miss?”

Lan Qi finally spoke, but still did not raise his head, focusing on the writing work in front of him.

"none of your business."

Zestila didn't even bother to look at him and didn't want to communicate at all.

 When I said this, I just wanted to drive him away as soon as possible.

  In any case, this guy just received a generous reward, tried hard to hide his inner hostility and sense of superiority, and reluctantly came to teach her this demon.

Human beings are all the same. Sometimes they harbor more malicious intentions than demons that make her feel sick. Some will try to hide it based on their identity and status, while others will not hide it at all.

"sorry."

Lanchi quickly said,

“I have been of humble status since I was a child, and I don't know how to talk to the eldest daughter of a noble family…”

 Listening to what Lan Qi and Zestila said, the cat boss in the shadow thought for a moment.

Haven't you been happily walking with the princess of the Kingdom of Hutton all day long?

I've never seen you feel inferior to yourself.

Zestila glanced at Lanqi's depressed look.

The room was still as quiet as ever.

 But during the silence, she felt an inexplicable tingling in her heart.

 Usually others look down on her, so how come there is a time when she looks down on others?

 She wouldn't do that despicable thing.

  “I've eaten.”     Zestila ignored Lanci after saying this.

"Thank you."

After Lan Qi finished speaking, he stopped talking and continued to do his work.

The originally dim light in the room gradually became brighter, and the wooden floor began to reflect a warm luster. The ancient clock embedded in the wall ticked, and the sound appeared slower in this warm light.

More than ten minutes passed like this.

 “Miss Zestila, can I be your friend?”

Lan Qi seemed to have completed some stage work, temporarily closed the book in his hand, raised his head and asked again.

"Who are you."

Hearing this, Zestila asked unceremoniously.

 Like a hedgehog's counterattack after being touched.

 “I'm sorry, I haven't had friends since I was a child and I was always bullied...”

Lan Qi tilted his head with a depressed expression and stopped looking at her.

Zestila was silent for a long time.

She didn't know why, but she felt very uncomfortable.

 She knows very well what it feels like to have no friends since childhood and to be bullied.

 And this young man with an overly soft attitude, meekness and friendliness, does seem to be the type who is easily bullied.

"Whoever dares to bully you in Lilomu City, just tell my father."

 She said.

"Thank you."

Lan Qi expressed sincere gratitude.

 “Also, you have friends now.”

Zestila added.

 “Who is it?”

"I."

"Thank you."

 Cat boss: “???”

Is this kid pretending to be pitiful here?

“I received great care from Viscount Francis, and I also heard him say that the lady has magical talents...”

Lan Qi thought for a while and said with a slight hesitation.

"Okay, let's stop. It's impossible for you to teach me. But let's not talk about this matter. I don't want to learn magic genealogy and magic engineering. I just want to learn practical magic skills. Scholars like you shouldn't delay each other with me. It's time.”

Zestila raised her hand and refused.

"I'm sorry... I have not had any talent for magic since I was a child and am not good at casting spells."

Lanchi apologized again.

The cat boss suspects that this is Lan Qi's trigger combo!

Zestila finally turned around and looked at Lan Qi. She remained silent and hesitated for a long time.

 “Otherwise, I'll teach you how to cast spells.”

 She said.

 This way you won't be bullied.

 “Then please leave it to Miss.”

 Lanchi finally smiled.

"come over."

So, Lan Qi sat down at Zestila's long table and listened to her talk about the basic skills of casting spells.

More than an hour has passed before I knew it.

Viscount Francis had just finished the business at hand, and came to Zestila's door worriedly.

I heard from the secretary that Mr. Lodge was not kicked out by Zestila in the middle.

“Could he really have a smooth class with Zestila?”

The Viscount paced back and forth in the corridor outside the door, tentatively approaching with a gentle step, but not daring to get too close and disturb Zestila.

 But it was precisely because the room was too peaceful. Viscount Francis is not sure what is going on now.

He couldn't help but listen outside the door and listen to the situation inside.

 Gradually, his expression became confused.

 He put his ear closer to the door again, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

 Until he finally ascertained what was going on in the room.

 The Viscount is stupid.

 This was the first time he saw a tutor who could live in peace and communicate with Zestila in such a peaceful way.

and…

 Why is Zestila teaching him? !
