Chapter 198: A Little Moody
For the next few moments, Elysia and Ella just chatted about the trivial day-to-day things they went through. At that time, Nancy accompanied them as Evelyn had requested. She also answered questions directed to her occasionally.
The Mage Lady was in awe of Princess Evelyn. She didn\'t know more about the black-haired girl\'s background, but she knew very well about the golden-haired girl who looked a little like her young miss. This golden-haired girl was Pope Alexander\'s granddaughter!
As far as she could tell, her young miss had only recently lived in this capital city as a student at the Deterry Academy of Magic. However, her young miss immediately had a friend with a good background.
As for this black-haired girl, even though she didn\'t know more about this girl, it didn\'t mean she would underestimate this girl called Ely. As the saying goes, the birds of a feather flocked together.
With the mere fact that Ely was hanging out with her young miss and Pope\'s granddaughter... It was apparent Ely was no ordinary girl. Nancy didn\'t need to find out more, and she could only be as respectful as receiving an honored guest of high status.
It didn\'t take long for Evelyn to return to the room. But there was something a little odd when Evelyn came back... She looked a little moody.
"I am back." Evelyn headed straight for the seat beside Elysia.
"Welcome back."
"Welcome back once again."
Elysia and Ella greeted back in turn. Instantly, the two of them became concerned because Evelyn didn\'t look cheerful... Something had happened.
"Eve, why do you look a little gloomy? Is that like this morning? Your red-ed, does it still hurt?" Elysia asked with a caring expression.
"Did something happen that didn\'t please you, Eve? Can you tell us? We might be able to help." Ella inquired with care.
"Hehe... Ely, why do you have so many funny terms for that? No, I\'m fine, thanks. That\'s just my father and mother." Evelyn giggled a little and then leaned back on the sofa.
"...?" Elysia and Ella were just waiting for the sequel.
"Here is your tea, Princess Evelyn." Nancy put a cup of tea on the table near Evelyn.
"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Nancy. Umm, Mrs. Nancy, could you please give us some private time for a moment?" Evelyn looked at Nancy.
"Sure, I\'ll be waiting outside the room. Please let me know if you need anything. Then, I\'ll excuse myself first." Nancy gave a slight bow of respect before walking out of the room.
"Sigh... Ely, Ella, you know. My father and my mother said they weren\'t sure if I could get into the business world. All they know, I just want to try and play around. They just give me extra funds... That\'s twenty thousand platinum coins added up." Evelyn immediately confessed with a sad expression.
"Oh my goodness... That\'s a lot, Eve. Your father and mother gave each of ten thousand platinum coins? By giving the funds even though they are not sure just because you asked them... It\'s clear your father and mother support you." Elysia felt a little surprised. But, it was only for a moment. She immediately delivered her viewpoint on the issue.
"I know, Ely. But it\'s not as much as Ella. If that counts with my savings, it\'s only about 21 thousand platinum coins." Evelyn complained in a slightly depressed tone.
"Oh, Eve. It doesn\'t matter how much or how big. For start-up businesses, we didn\'t need too much money to spend." Elysia comforted the gloomy girl as she took her hand. Evelyn responded by grasping it back.
"What Ely said is right, Eve. I think 120 thousand platinum coins is more than enough. Please save your savings for the unexpected, okay?" Ella also gave advice even though she didn\'t have any real savings.
"Hng." Evelyn just nodded limply without enthusiasm.
Her family support was lost to Ella\'s, and her family\'s trust was also inferior to Ella\'s. She didn\'t like to compare herself to Ella, but that sometimes kept coming to her mind.
"Hmm, Eve. Do you remember what was said after Ella got her funds that evening?" Elysia tried another approach with what came to her mind at Elena\'s suggestion.
"Hm?" Ella innocently blinked as she tried to remember the important words of her grandfather from two days ago. Still, she failed to recall any essential things. She didn\'t know what kind of words Elysia meant here.
"Something?" Evelyn turned to Elysia with a clueless expression.
"Ahh, nobody remembers? Even Ella, you too ... You know, something like take this first and receive another later. Maybe, when our business is established and successful, development funds will come gradually." Ella felt helpless when she saw Ella also looked at her curiously. She had no other choice but to explain briefly about it.
"Ah! Yes, I remember that. Hum, so it\'s like that. Eve, don\'t worry, we still have a long way to go." Ella suddenly enlightened and remembered what her grandfather had said at that time.
"Hm, is that so? So, big funds are needed, and it\'s not in the initial business but in business development?" Evelyn put her hand on her chin and nodded as if she understood. At that moment, she saw Elysia gave several nods.
"I see... Thank you for comforting me. I just need to prove it to my father and my mother. At that time, I\'ll ask for multiple development funds! Hmph!" Evelyn gave a cute snort and clenched her fist.
"Hmm-hmm, you look better now, Eve. Hm? We better get back to the academy. Economy class starts at two, remember?" Elysia glanced at the clock, then she made a suggestion.
"All right, I think our business here is over, too." Evelyn nodded and got off the sofa.
"Oh, Eve. I\'ll visit Ella\'s house later. Would you like to come with me?" Elysia rose to her feet immediately, Evelyn still holding her hand.
"Sure, eh, Ely, you want to visit, or is it because Ella invited you?" Evelyn subconsciously just agreed, but she immediately hit it off to ask the reason.
"Uhh... What\'s the difference between that? Ella is willing to help me to establish privileged permission to access the fifth floor of the Holy Library." Elysia scratched her cheek a little. She didn\'t really understand the meaning of the question.
"En, that\'s right. Ely is a little restless because she doesn\'t know a lot of things. She wants to broaden her horizons with knowledge." Ella lightly smiled even though she didn\'t know why Evelyn asked her like that. A person didn\'t need a reason to visit a friend\'s place, right?
"Oh, okay. I\'m coming. Shall we stay over?" Evelyn agreed and breathed a sigh of relief to herself for no apparent reason.
"That\'s an overnight stay, definitely have to stay overnight." Ella immediately chirped as if telling her friends it was a joint decision.
"Um, stay overnight." Elysia smiled when she saw Ella\'s behavior.
"Uh-huh, we\'ll be there as soon as the economy class is over, Ella." Evelyn didn\'t have any objections. She only confirmed their arrival.
"Un, please just come to my family\'s private area and use the access card I made for you. I\'ll be waiting for your arrival~" Ella melodiously hummed before they left.
After that, the three girls left the Mage Association, and then Ella said goodbye before they parted ways. Ella returned to the Holy Cathedral while Elysia and Evelyn returned to the academy.
Time passed without notice until more than two hours had passed since Elysia and Evelyn returned to the academy for economy class. Unlike the previous one, this time it was Elysia who ended up a little moody.
Elysia was disappointed with economy class, even though she had prepared herself. Just like Joanna and her three other acquaintances said, the economy class was still in the early chapter of the economy\'s fundamental element.
She knew that better because of her experience, but that was not what she wanted to know in this class. Something bigger and deeper in the critical issue of business affairs in this world, she needed to know that as soon as possible.
However, when she asked some questions about her interest, the teacher just said it was too early, and it was not time for a young girl to start a real business.
From the beginning of the class to the end, Elysia only listened to the teacher\'s explanation in reflective mode. Only Elena knew how far Elysia\'s train of thought and imagination had gone at that time.
"Hey-Loo, hello, Ely~ Are you still there? Can you hear me?" Evelyn waved her hand over Elysia\'s face.
The class was over, the teacher had left, and the students began to leave the classroom, but her best friend was still sitting sweetly without moving much.
"Yes, Eve. I\'m still here, and I can hear you too." Elysia caught the hand in front of her face while exhaling softly.
"Hmm, now you\'re the gloomy one, Ely. Was it because of that evil teacher? He even dared to say we\'re not ready to start a real business yet. Hmph! He\'ll see, we\'ll slap his face with our achievements." Evelyn tried to cheer up her best friend.
She didn\'t feel disappointed because she didn\'t have any expectations in this economy class. Still, it was different for her best friend.
"Hmm-hmm, we\'ll do that. Let\'s go... Ella is waiting for us." Elysia suggested as she tugged on Evelyn\'s hand a little.
They needed to leave immediately before the few male students who had observed them several times approached. Even though it happened a lot, like some people stole a few glances to watch her, it didn\'t mean she would be comfortable with it.
