Elemental Light Mage

"Really, that's quite hard." Xi Yeming reluctantly comforted Xia.

Xia skillfully complained: "My mother and father are working very hard, but they obviously don't understand my situation at all, but they still force me to do something."

"For example?"

"That's too much, especially since my father always asks me to attend gatherings with nobles and royal families from other countries. The way many people look at me makes me feel very uncomfortable." At this point, Xia Xia gradually started to talk. .

"Oh? Who is there?" Xi Yeming tried his best to hide his bulging veins. He was going to write down these people and wait for the opportunity to teach them a lesson.

"There are many, many, many. And whenever I complain to my father, he always looks dismissive, as if I have done something wrong."

Xi Yeming became even more angry. He recalled that when he was young, he ended up being lost in the real world because he was afraid of becoming a bargaining chip in the fight for the throne. The cause of all this was due to the current emperor of the Gilget Empire. That is his father.

Xia said even more aggrievedly: "Moreover, my father always told me that girls will get married in the future. He took me to these gatherings to let me find my future partner, but it was obvious that someone else was choosing me..."

"It's too much." Xi Yeming didn't want to pretend anymore. He stood up and roared to defend Xia. "When did you say that girls must get married? And you are exposed to these things at such a young age. The emperor, he Don’t you have any common sense?!”

Both Binay and Xia were shocked. They didn't expect that Xi Yeming would be so sympathetic to this matter. Only Cosette looked at Xi Yeming with doubts on her face and didn't understand why he cared so much about Xia.

Xia also lamented: "I can't help it. I just wanted to come to the Potion Conference because I wanted to be more free. In order to prove that I am not only valuable in marriage."

Xiye said righteously: "I support you in West Asia. What a bullshit marriage. It's just a bad feudal custom!"

"Lord Shengyi, you must help me win first place in this potion competition!"

Xi Yeming's pitiful look really moved Xi Yeming, and the deeper relationship between the two made Xi Yeming have to feel protective towards the girl in front of him.

Cosette thought helplessly: "It's so artificial."

Xi Yeming said to Xia Xia: "We will start training this afternoon. Is it okay, Xia Xia?"

"Yeah," Xia couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Xi Yeming being so interested, "By the way, can I call you brother?"

"what?"

"Eh?"

Both Cosette and Binet were not calm anymore. If anything, the relationship between "adult" and "father" might not be as close as that of an "brother".

Cosette's eyes were filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and muttered: "This woman is really..."

Binay also wanted to stop it, but she didn't know what to say.

Xi Yeming looked into Xia's eyes and asked, "Why do you want to call me brother, Xia?"

Xia Xia explained to Xi Yeming: "Because you see, first of all, I think you and the queen are really similar, and I usually have many teachers. It is too common to call you teacher, so I want to call you elder brother."

Xi Yeming and Xia looked at each other. The figure of Xia in front of him overlapped with the figure of Chengzi in his memory, and Xi Yeming fell into memories again.

"Do you want me to call you brother, idiot Ye Ming?"

Cosette curled her lips. She didn't think Xi Yeming would agree to such a request.

"Why would you answer such a ridiculous reason..."

"Okay, I allow it."

"Aha?"

"My God..."

Cosette and Binet felt that a dark cloud was covering their heads, making them unable to breathe.

Xi Yeming stared at the strange relative in front of him and thought to himself: "Although I still don't know what kind of person the emperor is, but now I want to help my family in front of me. Mom, just wish me all the best."

The three of them settled in the guest room after drinking the tea presented by Butler Zell. Of course, Xi Yeming himself was in the same room, Cosette and Binet were in the same room.

Cosette sat glumly on the large bed. Binet saw her serious expression, so he asked with concern: "Sister Cosette, what's wrong with you?"

"What else can I do? I'm so angry at that idiot who turned his elbow outward!"

Cosette kicked off her feet and landed on the quilt, and her whole body rolled around on the bed.

"Dad, he seems to be very concerned about the second princess sister?"

Cosette held her head and roared: "Impossible, impossible. Sir, he clearly said that he likes someone older than him. How could he like the second princess? Besides, she is only thirteen years old!"

…………

"What are they arguing about? I heard it in my house."

Xi Yeming was sitting at his desk, thinking about how to help his sister get the first place in the potion competition.

"Making a cursed potion?" Xi Yeming didn't know why he came up with this idea. "Maybe it can be done. West Asia should have a lot of resentment towards the emperor. If it is a cursed potion, it might be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Just when Xi Yeming was congratulating himself on his wit, he had no idea that a trace of magic that did not belong to him would wrap around his shadow...

In the afternoon, everyone gathered on a lawn in the house, and Xi Yeming began to teach Xia how to master the skills of refining potions.

Cosette and Binet sat aside and watched the interaction between the two.

"........."

Binet asked in a low voice: "Aren't you happy, sister Cosette?"

Cosette sighed: "Well, maybe adults really like her more than us."

"Is that so..." Binai was also worried in her heart. Although she never understood many things, Binai knew in her heart that she was not Xi Yeming's real daughter.

"why not?"

It happened that Xi Yeming and Xia Xia also had problems. I don't know why Xia Xia couldn't use her strength on the most critical step.

Xi Yeming said excitedly: "Xia Xia, try harder to inject your resentment, maybe you can succeed."

"Resentment...?" Xia didn't expect Xi Yeming to make use of this emotion, "Why use the power of resentment?"

"Don't the emperor treat you like a prop? You should hate him even more, right? So this kind of emotion can make you better refine the curse potion."

Xia shook her head and said: "That's not the case..."

"Eh?" Xi Yeming had an expression of disbelief and surprise on his face.

"Although I do have great opinions and anger towards my father, I don't hate him."

Xi Yeming closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "That's it. It seems I made a mistake..."

Cosette immediately noticed something was wrong, and Xi Yeming actually looked disappointed after understanding that Xia didn't resent the emperor.
