Living Together

Marriages between close relatives were very common among the nobility.

As long as they are not siblings born of the same father and mother.

Cousins, and even maternal cousins, often form families together.

This situation did indeed occur, on the one hand, as the Ferrell Family claimed, for the sake of maintaining the purity of their family bloodline.

On the other hand, it was also because it was not so easy for nobles to find suitable families to form marriage alliances.

If they reach a certain age and cannot find a suitable family for marriage, these young noblemen are often "internally absorbed" into the family.

The Wizard World has always placed great importance on bloodlines.

The Knight Family is particularly concerned about this.

Although Magic Family that have developed over thousands of years do not place as much emphasis on Bloodline inheritance as Knight Family, they still care about the purity of their direct bloodlines.

If Saine could be relied upon, it would indeed be a good choice for Selena.

More importantly, Serena also had a good impression of Saine she had just met.

She wasn't attracted to Saine's good looks, but rather that Serena felt safer around Saine.

Especially since Serena had come all the way from the Lisia Alliance, it seemed that she could only rely on Saine.

Saine's residence is very large, not just a simple 30% dormitory building.

Each floor also has multiple rooms, and the interior space is quite large.

There's even a basement.

Saine arranged for Serena to stay in one of the rooms on the first floor.

The second floor mainly houses Saine's laboratory, Meditation Room, and other rooms, while the third floor is where he usually lives and sleeps.

So after looking around, the only option was to make room for Serena on the first floor.

Serena's arrival has had a significant impact on Saine's daily life.

After all, no matter how large his Apprentice Dormitory were, they could never compare to the Earl's Castle.

The two people see each other all the time, and they always have to say something when they meet.

It's hard to treat them as complete strangers.

Of course, besides affecting Saine, Owl Little Qi was also significantly impacted.

Several rooms on the first floor were originally Little Seven's activity area, which could also be considered its home.

With Serena's arrival, Little Seven naturally had to move to a different spot.

However, Little Seven was not a pretentious magical beast. It didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just stared at the girl who had broken into Saine's life with its brown pupils.

Even Serena was extremely curious about Little Seven; her...

The table appears to be more mysterious, knowledgeable, and powerful than expected.

Not only do they know the high-ranking, Formal Magician, but they also have a magical beast as a pet that is clearly quite powerful.

"Starting tomorrow, you will be attending general education courses at the central academy."

"Although you are Intermediate Apprentice, the variety of knowledge at the Holy Tower Academy is far beyond your imagination."

"Even some introductory courses can be of great benefit to you, the new apprentices who have just entered the Holy Tower," Saine advised Serena during dinner.

"Yes, cousin!" Serena nodded emphatically in reply.

This dinner was prepared by Serena. It's surprising that this noblewoman, who doesn't live far from home, has such good cooking skills.

At least the sweetness of the fruit soup and the crispness of the toast pleased Saine greatly.

This was probably one of the few conveniences that Serena could bring to Saine after moving into his Apprentice Dormitory.

Serena is obedient and acts well-behaved and sensible, which is something that Saine can accept.

If it's a woman who's particularly willful and capricious, even if she's his Cousin Serena, Saine would kick her out.

The next day, early morning.

When Saine came downstairs, several exquisite breakfast dishes were already laid out on the table.

Serena was nowhere to be found, and a white piece of paper was placed next to the breakfast.

Saine walked over and picked up the paper; it was in Serena's handwriting.

The note said that she had already eaten and was now planning to visit the Teaching Building and library to familiarize herself with the Holy Tower surroundings.

He took a sip of the juice Serena had left behind; it was the flavor Saine liked, and it even had ice in it.

"Not bad, he's a guy who's easy to take care of," Saine nodded and said.

After finishing his juice and eating a few bites of breakfast, Saine returned to the laboratory on the second floor.

The five-year study experience at the Azure Source Holy Tower had already allowed Saine to complete the basic courses of each department.

Over the years, Saine has listened to countless advanced courses that require additional fees.

For the time being, he does not need to go to the Teaching Building to learn.

"The advanced modification of the Sun's Eye Magic was almost successful last time."

"This time, I must perfect this magic completely and achieve the effect I expect!" Saine walked into the laboratory with great enthusiasm.

In recent years, only when exploring the Truth and the mysteries of the elements has Saine shown such excitement and enthusiasm.

To be honest, Saine does need a woman to spice up his life.

It seems like he hasn't been with a woman for several years?

The cohabitation life between Saine and his Cousin Serena is not as turbulent as some people imagine.

It was a very peaceful life; Saine and Serena were like two nearly parallel lines.

Aside from brief encounters and a few words between the siblings during breakfast and dinner, the two siblings are not allowed to meet.

Most of the time, they didn't even see each other.

It's mainly Saine's fault. He either keeps himself cooped up in the lab all day or goes to the library to look up information.

They appear and disappear mysteriously all day long.

As the Sun's Eye Magic neared completion, Saine began visiting the library more frequently to research information.

Sometimes he would even go out in the middle of the night, waking up Serena, who lived on the first floor and was a light sleeper.

Serena didn't seem to care much about it, and continued to attend her Public Classroom and prepare breakfast and dinner for Saine as usual.

Perhaps the best way to win a man's heart is through his stomach.

Because Serena prepared food for Saine every day and also took on the housework, Saine gradually became more talkative with his Cousin Serena was originally quite unfamiliar with him.

With his knowledge as Quasi-Magician, Saine was well-equipped to offer guidance to Serena in her studies and magical learning.

It was only during a casual conversation at dinner that Saine's irresponsible cousin belatedly realized that the magic systems Serena was studying were mainly fire and light.

It seems to primarily use light magic, with fire magic as a secondary element.

Serena's situation surprised Saine quite a bit.

Considering his recent research project, Saine asked Serena at the dinner table, "Do you have any important general education classes tomorrow?"

"If you don't have one, could you come to the lab and help me out?"

"It's just a simple record of experimental data. I'm also researching Light Magic, which should be of great benefit and inspiration to you," Saine said.

Saine's question brought a hint of surprise and delight to Serena's face. Without hesitation, she replied, "Great! I don't have any general education classes tomorrow."

Serena had been curious about Saine's lab ever since she moved there.

She even cleaned Saine's room, but she never went to the laboratories on the second floor of Saine's building.

Saine nodded at his Cousin Serena's answer and said, "I won't let you help for nothing; I'll pay you."
