After walking around the palace and passing through a garden, Anxi arrived at her residence.
The king valued her very much and arranged a luxurious residence for her, with three personal maids to serve her.
The personal maids were so close to her that they followed Anxi wherever she went. On the contrary, Anxi had no privacy at all and no chance to check the contents of the blue leather diary.
Looking at the maid who was inseparable from her, Anxi rolled her eyes and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid stood up and replied: "Okay, please let me serve you to bathe."
"No need! I'm used to washing alone!" Anxi shouted, running to the bathroom in a few steps, opening and closing the door, locking it, and escaping the maid's pursuit.
The blue-covered diary in her backpack kept vibrating, making her arms numb.
Anxi turned on the faucet in the bathroom, followed the sound of running water, opened her backpack, and took out her blue leather diary.
As soon as he took it out, the blue-covered diary floated into the air just like last time. The pages turned automatically with a "clatter--" and stopped at the unlocked page.

[Today is the day that I have been in the royal capital for a full week.
The king informed me to meet my second teammate again, but this time the location was not in the palace, but in the best and most famous magic academy in the entire continent - Shengye Magic Academy.
Shengye Magic Academy recruits students from all over the continent every two years, and they must go through layers of screening before admission. They will only admit talented students.
Even when facing the king's daughter Emilia, she will not lower her demands.
I waited at the entrance of the college early.
The king didn't tell me what my teammate looked like or what his name was. He only said that he was an old friend of mine.
But, why don’t I remember that an old friend of mine went to magic school?
I stood at the door waiting and waiting. When the sun set, classes at the Magic Academy finally ended.
The first person to greet me was Princess Emilia. I met her last time when I went to the palace. I didn't expect that she would still remember me.
We stood chatting together, and Princess Emilia said she would wait with me, and then we would go to the newly opened dessert shop in the capital for dessert.
But while we were chatting, a ball of hot fire suddenly hit me, and at the same time there was an angry question: "Why are you here!"
Of course, being a brave man, I dodged it skillfully without getting hurt at all.
Emilia was shocked. She rushed to the student who was using the fireball technique to stop him, and kept explaining to him that I was a brave man.
The student was taller than Emilia and could easily see his red hair.
Red... old friend... When these two keywords were combined, I suddenly had an idea and thought of such a person.
It's Avery!
Avery is an orphan. I picked him up in the woods when he was six years old. He has been living with me and my family since then. But when he was twelve years old, for some unknown reason, he left me one night. home and never came back.
It turns out that he became a student at the Magic Academy.
But why did he attack me when he saw me? Aren't we friends? 】
Today, two memory fragments were opened at once.
Finish reading this page of diary.
Before Anxi could collect her thoughts, the diary immediately turned to the next page.
[Weather on October 16, 1023 of the New Calendar: Cloudy to sunny]
[A few days ago, because of Eli’s sudden attack on me, the appointment with the princess to go to the dessert shop fell through.
However, Princess Emilia is a person who keeps her word. On the day she had a holiday at the Magic Academy, she ordered the palace carriage to pick me up early and take me to the dessert shop.
As expected of a dessert shop in the capital, the desserts here are so delicious! I have never seen most of the desserts in the village.
But dessert is not the point. The point is Avery's attitude towards me.
Emilia had a serious talk with Avery after she went back that day. She and Avery were very good friends, and Avery explained to her why he resented me so much.
It turns out that Eli is not only an orphan, he also has another identity: a slave.
I picked him up just as he broke free from his chains and ran away from the slave traders.
At first, he was unwilling to go back with me. He was worried that my family and I would abuse him and use him like slave traders.
But after getting along with each other for a period of time, Avery gradually let down his guard against us and began to try to trust us.
He thought he was finally out of the sea of suffering and could live a peaceful and happy life.
But all this was ruined when he was twelve years old.
My parents recognized Eli's magical talent early on and always encouraged him to learn magic. (My magic talent is very poor.)
And Avery is also very impressive. Not only does he study well, he can even use magic to make some pocket money.
That day, Avery finished class from the magic school as usual, earlier than usual.
When he came home to the door, none of us knew.
So, he heard me talking to my family.
"Avery is not only talented in magic, but also good at housework. His appearance is also first-class. I really hope you can get married so that I don't have to worry about your future life."
That's what my parents said, they wanted me to get married to Avery.
I actually rejected it immediately after hearing it. Avery's magic talent is so high that he shouldn't be trapped in a small village.
Of course, my parents were not serious about this. They have always supported free love.
But Avery didn’t hear our subsequent conversation.
He only heard that sentence, the fatal sentence for him.
"They treated me kindly, fed me, and asked me to learn magic, all because they wanted me to marry that guy... They deceived me, hypocritical! They are no different from slave traders! They just want to use me!"
Eli confided in Emilia what he was thinking at the time.
He had difficulty trusting others, but after giving us sincere trust, he was severely beaten. Allie especially hated my family, especially me as his "marriage partner."
Sigh... It seems like there are too many misunderstandings in the whole thing...
Thanks to Emilia telling me, otherwise I wouldn’t have known that Avery hated me so much.
However, we are indeed wrong.
Why are you saying those things? Who wants to hear that they are in an arranged marriage?
Fortunately, Avery and I met again.
Avery was also chosen to go on the road with us. I will treat him well this time! Clear up the misunderstanding between us!
(The vanilla cake I had at the dessert shop today was delicious, and I will go there tomorrow)]
Read both pages of the diary.
An Qian rubbed her forehead and sorted out what she had just read.
It turns out that Avery and "her" were playmates who grew up together two years ago, but they turned against each other because of a misunderstanding.
Although it is only Avery's one-sided hatred, looking at Avery's current state, the misunderstanding between the two may not be solved, but deepened.
"But this misunderstanding doesn't seem very complicated. Why hasn't it been resolved for so long?"
Anxi was a little confused. She put the diary back into her bag and planned to find a time to explain it to Avery, lest he hate her so much that he rebelled and attacked her with the monsters during the battle.
