[17] Rise and Fall of Lefiya!

"Lady Ais~"

Lefiya stared at Ais with lifeless eyes, as if she had lost the meaning of life.

Tione sighed, watching the child being so strongly stimulated.

"Hey, August, can you show us your spatial skill?"

Tiona turned to August and asked.

"I can, but it's not suitable here."

August looked around, there were quite a few people on the street now.

Tiona, on the other side, also realized that this wasn't a good place.

"Then let's go back first!"

"Okay!"

"Hurry!"

While speaking, she grabbed August's hand and rushed towards the familia's residence.

She didn't have any other thoughts. After all, Amazons were a combat race, very open in terms of relationships between men and women, unlike elves.

Tione also grabbed the dejected Lefiya.

As for Ais, watching August being pulled away by Tiona, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Looking at the fried potato balls that should have been delicious in her hand, suddenly she felt no appetite.

In this way, the group quickly returned to the familia.

They arrived at the familia's training ground, a place specifically for familia members to practice and spar.

But now it was afternoon, and most people were not in the familia, so it seemed quite empty here.

"Hurry up, I haven't seen the spatial skill yet!"

Tiona couldn't wait.

Not only her, but Tione was also curious about why Finn valued August so much.

As for Lefiya, she was staring at August, and if looks could kill, August would have been torn to pieces.

Buzz~

Without further ado, August directly activated the Gate of Babylon.

The golden door opened, and weapons extended through the golden ripples.

"Wow! So cool!"

Looking at such a splendid scene, Tiona was amazed.

But it didn't end there. Next, two weapons suddenly shot out.

Bang~

Two weapons were inserted into two distant wooden stakes.

And these two weapons pierced through the stakes, showing the strength of the shot.

"Wow..."

Tiona was almost jumping up, this attack style was just too cool.

In terms of elegance, it was even cooler than using magic.

"Gate of Babylon, with the skills I possess, I have a treasury that can collect all the treasures in the world. The items stored in it become my weapons!"

As he spoke, the two weapons turned into golden dots and disappeared, returning to the treasury.

Seeing this ability to automatically retrieve items, Tiona's eyes almost sparkled.

Unlike Tiona, Tione thought of many things.

In Finn's words, August would be the future core of the entire familia, and also the strategic core.

Yesterday, she couldn't understand it. Even the Ais of the past, no one dared to say she would definitely become the core of the familia, as a person's growth had to go through too many things.

But now, after seeing August's ability, she understood.

A strategic core, August with the spatial skill, after growing up, could bring a lot of benefits and convenience to the familia.

"I'll come find you again in the afternoon!"

Ais said this at this moment and then left.

And with her words, August became the target of everyone.

Especially Lefiya, who was already close to despair, was now completely devastated.

"Hey, August, what's going on between you and Ais? Why is she coming to find you in the afternoon?"

Tiona, at this moment, was full of gossip.

"I'm not good at fighting, and I don't know how to use a sword. Ais said she would teach me swordsmanship."

Suddenly, both Tiona and Tione widened their eyes.

Ais was actually voluntarily teaching someone?

Is this the same Ais who used to be so autocratic?

At this point, the gazes of the sisters Tiona and Tione towards August also changed quite a bit.

If it was just gossip before, now it had escalated to ambiguous.

Throughout the Loki familia, throughout Orario, the only male that Ais treated like this was August.

This is unique.

On the other hand, after Ais left, Lefiya couldn't give up and followed her.

"Lady Ais!"

"Hmm?"

Ais stopped her steps and looked at Lefiya with confusion.

Staring at Ais like this, Lefiya felt a little embarrassed. This was her first time being alone with Ais.

"Is there something, Lefiya?"

"Lady Ais, I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and that newcomer? Are you a couple?"

Lefiya looked at Ais full of expectations, hoping to get the answer she wanted.

"Relationship? Couple? No, August and I are not a couple."

"That's good!"

Hearing this answer, Lefiya felt relieved.

The despair and disappointment in her heart were all swept away. That newcomer hadn't succeeded yet, and she still had a chance.

But this was only her own thoughts.

"I want to observe him. He will become very strong, and after he becomes strong, he can definitely help me become stronger."

The plot suddenly reversed. Lefiya couldn't have dreamed that August would hold such an important position in Ais's heart.

"Lady Ais, that guy is just a newcomer. How can he be compared to you, not to mention helping you become stronger? You're already the strongest!"

"No! Lefiya, I'm not strong enough, and August can definitely help me become stronger!"

Without any hesitation, she immediately refuted Lefiya and sounded extremely determined.

In an instant, the world that had just welcomed the light was covered with dark clouds again, and darkness arrived again.

It's only been a day, no, not even a day, and that man has already occupied such an important position in Lady Ais's heart?

In comparison, she was really too inferior.

Lefiya's soul was once again shrouded in despair.

"Lefiya?"

Looking at Lefiya, who was silent, Ais called out in confusion.

"Lady Ais, do you still want to find that newcomer in the afternoon? Is there something you need?"

"He doesn't know how to use a sword, so I want to teach him swordsmanship."

"Then, then can I come too?"

"Are you not a mage, Lefiya?"

"Can I come?"

Lefiya stared at Ais with wide eyes, looking straight at her.

"Of course!"

"Lady Ais, I'll definitely come in the afternoon!"

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Ais confused.

"I must protect Lady Ais. A mere newcomer, don't even think about getting involved with Lady Ais!"

At this moment, Lefiya, full of despair just now, had transformed into a fervent fighting spirit.
