Chapter 181: Mother and Daughter (1)
Mages.They were beings that consumed an enormous amount of money.From a young age, they had to brew and drink medicinal herbs, learn from good teachers, and have good equipment and good land....Money was needed at every step. Even with talent, without money, one couldn't become a good mage.So the existence of mages generally meant people born with good parents and good circumstances in this world.A slightly unlucky feeling?
Of course, mage Brigitte was different from that kind of mage.Brigitte was a self-made mage who had managed everything by herself except for her bloodline.She lived a truly tenacious life.Even now, more than ten years later, she still felt tense when thinking about the hardships of that time.
'I know well that those intense days made me who I am today. But I didn't actually want to live so intensely. I just wanted to live ordinarily, leisurely, having fun every day.'
Brigitte recalled her past.Perhaps her non-interference with Naru was due to a compensatory psychology for her own childhood.
'But hasn't my selfishness troubled Naru instead? Won't Naru resent me someday in the distant future? Of course, Naru is too kind to do that, but still....'
Brigitte watched Naru dancing clumsily.At first, she creaked like an unoiled tin doll, but as 1 minute, 5 minutes passed, Naru's dance moves gradually improved until she was moving more naturally than Brigitte.
'What an amazing child.'
Even to Brigitte, Naru was a child like a shining raw gem.Her form was so brilliant that no matter how she was cut, she would shine. Brigitte wasn't sure if she should be involved in this child's growth and future.Even a normal mother-daughter relationship was unknown to Brigitte, let alone being in a position to teach a genius daughter.After much consideration, Brigitte carefully asked Naru.
"Naru, did you have fun today?"
