...

There is no swaying candlelight, no crackling burning fire, under the action of heating, even if the room is only wearing a single coat is warm and pleasant, the light stone on the bedside table is the light of the room - stable and gentle yellow light on the bed is reflected in the bed and the carpet, to the sight of a wonderful sense of the times.

Roland sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the occasional noise in the heating pipe, there is always a feeling of a dream, as if here is neither the era of backward kingship, nor the modern society of electronic products everywhere, but caught in the two ... childhood.

The impression of that era is like the scene at this time, covered by yellow everywhere, whether it is incandescent lamps, movies, or rinsed out photos, all of which are full of the same color.

There is no Anna in this memory.

Thinking of this, he could not help but look at the girl sitting on the bed.

She was looking at the story book in her hand, the throb of the forehead was covered with gilded gold, and the long eyelashes occasionally shook twice, and it seemed very flexible; the most striking thing was still her sapphire eyes, even in the reflection of the magic stone, it was still a clear lake blue, and I had to say that there was something different, that is, the lake is no longer as unwavering as in the past.

She made the whole picture vivid, Roland can not help but think, Anna is the scene of a very different color, but also the difference between memory and reality of the mark, see her, will be realized that all this is real.

“What are you looking at?”I don't know when the prince found that the other party had put down the magic book and looked at himself with his head, "Am I?"

“Cough...” He subconsciously moved his eyes away, but quickly moved back, “Uh...yes.”

After nearly a year of getting along, the two have become very familiar with each other, Roland's mentality is naturally no longer as passive as the original, and with only the two of them in the room tonight, he also relaxed the mood that has been converging.

The two looked at each other for a moment, laughing at each other.

“Do you think my request would be a little bit self-righteous?”Anna smiled and shook her head, "Obviously everyone cares about me, but I'm keeping them out."

"You're talking too badly," Roland said, "they just looked a little surprised at the time."

"If Miss Aigsa had not spoken of the 'ancient methods', I would not have said that," she spat out, and she spat out her tongue--a playful expression which was seldom seen in Anna, "but the other sisters will follow suit, and you will be busy."

Roland laughed helplessly, "I guess they're asking for a few more pieces of ice cream."

Knowing that Anna was about to spend the Day of Awakening, Agratha immediately contributed her experience in the Al-Quds of Takira – a personal emotion that, according to the Federation, is important in order to awaken or adulthood, in addition to the need to empty the body magic and reduce the effects of the reaction.Positive attitudes such as joy and satisfaction can greatly improve their resistance, so for some outstanding witches, the Federation will even send special personnel to meet their requirements as adults.

After Anna learned of this, the request was to let Roland accompany herself through the awakening day.

"I am very happy now, Miss Aegisa's blessing," she said frankly, "and I can't see you as an adult, and this time I regret can finally make up for it."

In the face of the other party's so serious look, Rao Roland was a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat, from behind to take out a thin book with colored ribbons to deliver to Anna, "this is the awakening day gift."

The reproduction of calculus in higher mathematics is to catch up with this day—for witches, the importance of the day of awakening is more important than the birthday, and it is a second birth.Roland used to be embarrassed about what gifts to give on the festival, and now there is still no progress, meditating, he decided to give new knowledge as a gift to each other - Anna's own learning talent is excellent, but also full of interest, not to mention, not to mention these, not to mention, not to be a bad choice.

But after she took the book wrapped in orange cover, she did not open it as before, but put it aside along with the magic book, "Thank you."

“Is the story book finished?”

"Not yet," Anna shook her head lightly, "but I want to hear something special."

“Specially?”Roland is a little.

"Well," she said, smiling, "your story -- you fell asleep the last time you didn't listen long, and this time I want to hear it again."

Is it the day you lie in your bed together, Roland, suddenly raised an impulse in his heart to tell each other his true history, instead of keeping it hidden, "Do you remember that I said before that I lived in a big city?"In fact, the city is not the capital of the Grey Fort."

"I know."

“The huh?”Anna’s answer made him stand still.

"Because in hindsight, even in the palace of the royal palace could not have happened to you," she grinned, "and I have seen the Chronicles of the Grey Castle several times."

“Uh... is that so?”Roland hesitated, “I actually—”

"Don't say it," Anna stopped, "you're hesitating to prove that it's not an easy thing to say, right?"Then don't say it.And it's not hard to guess, I believe it's not just me who feels that way, the closer I get to you, the easier it is to realize it - you're different from everyone else."She paused, "Well, let's make a bet."

“The bet...what?”

"Beg how much I can guess," said Anna with great interest, "and I'll record all those guesses in the book, and when you can easily say it without worrying, you'll see how much I guess, and more than half of it, even if I win."

Roland suddenly remembered a game he used to play as a child: the time capsule.Put some words you want to say about the future into the can, and then take it out after a few years... Although most of these cans are missing, when the last two or three survivors are found, looking at the handwriting they left behind a few years ago, they can always be moved.

He did not ask what the bet is, win or lose between the two people does not make sense, the other side proposed these is also to comfort themselves, rather than really want to guess the answer.It must be said that among the many witches who were closest to him and could understand what he was thinking was Anna.

“Well, for sure,” he nodded.

“Where did you say last time?”

"Complete school from the hands of the instructor..." Roland smiled, "start here."

When the light of dawn came from the skyline, Anna passed the first day of her waking up as an adult.

(Unfinished).
