Chapter 185 Magic and Potions
Chapter 185 Magic and Potions
Late at night in Reis College, the moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkled in every corner of the courtyard. Arthur and Lilith sat under an ancient sycamore tree, and the wood of the bench seemed particularly quiet in the night.
The world around me seemed to be forgotten by time, with only the chirping of insects echoing in the night, breaking the silence of the night.
Arthur finally broke the silence, a hint of apology in his voice: "Lilith, I realize that I may have neglected your feelings recently, and I am deeply sorry for that."
Lilith lowered her head slightly, tears flashing in her eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "Arthur, I know that I have some problems recently. I...I always compare myself with Nicole involuntarily and feel jealous. I know this is wrong, and I should trust you more."
Arthur reached out and gently wiped the tears from Lilith's face, his voice soft but firm.
"We all make mistakes, Lilith. It's not all your fault. I should have cared more about your feelings."
Lilith held Arthur's hand tightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Arthur, I will not doubt you anymore. I know you are a kind and considerate person, and you are good to everyone. I...I am just afraid of losing you."
Arthur held Lilith in his arms and comforted her softly, "Silly girl, how could you lose me? We have been through thick and thin together, and our relationship is as solid as a rock."
The two hugged each other tightly in the moonlight, and all the misunderstandings and uneasiness disappeared at this moment.
Their hearts became closer in each other's understanding and comfort, as if they had become one.
After a long while, Lilith gently let go of Arthur.
"Arthur, let's start over. I will learn to trust you more and I will work on overcoming my jealousy."
Arthur smiled and nodded: "Of course, Lilith, my heart has never changed."
?
A few days later, Nan Xi ran into Arthur and Lilith in the academy garden. They were holding hands, with happy smiles on their faces.
A complex emotion surged in Nan Xi's heart. She originally thought that her provocation would cause a rift between them, but now it seems that their relationship has become even stronger.
Nan Xi looked at the beautiful love and couldn't help but think of a wonderful idea.
"This time, if you still love each other so much, then I bless you."
Nan Xi's fingers moved slightly, and after the spiritual power fluctuated, everything returned to calm.
At this moment, a trace of pain suddenly flashed across Lilith's face. She gently covered her face, as if she felt something was wrong.
Arthur immediately asked with concern: "Lilith, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lilith shook her head and tried her best to keep smiling: "It's okay, Arthur, my face is just a little itchy, maybe I'm allergic to pollen."
The two of them left the garden while talking.
But as time went on, Lilith's face began to show signs of abnormality. Her skin began to become rough and some unusual spots appeared.
Lilith was very frightened. She quickly found an excuse to avoid Arthur, not wanting him to see her current appearance.
However, it couldn't be hidden, and the symptoms were on her face, so Arthur quickly discovered Lilith's abnormality.
Arthur examined it carefully and said to Lilith gently: "Lilith, you shouldn't hide it from me. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. We should find a way to solve this problem."
All the anxiety that Lilith had been feeling during this period was immediately healed, but her heart was still filled with anxiety.
"Arthur, if I were no longer beautiful, would you still love me?"
Arthur held Lilith's hand tightly, his eyes sincere and firm.
"Lilith, I love you not only for your looks. Your smile, your wisdom, your courage, these are all what I love. No matter what happens, my feelings will not change."
Lilith was deeply moved by Arthur's words. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world. Arthur's love was her strongest support.
Nan Xi watched all this quietly from a distance, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Arthur's deep affection and commitment to Lilith.
"I hope you can withstand the pressure of power and rumors."
Arthur began to take Lilith to seek medical treatment everywhere. They tried various magic potions and treatments, but none of them had any effect.
The witch doctors in the academy were helpless. They told Arthur and Lilith that this was a new virus and there was currently no cure.
As Lilith's condition worsens, her relationship with Arthur becomes increasingly public.
Arthur and Lilith's relationship was originally kept secret until Lilith became a great magician and they made their relationship public. At that time, Arthur's family was happy to see it and everyone blessed them.
But now everything is different. As their love is made public, they have to face pressure and challenges from family and society.
Arthur came from a prominent aristocratic family, while Lilith was a girl of commoner origin.
This caused an uproar in the aristocratic circles of the wizarding world. Many people began to talk about it, expressing dissatisfaction and doubts about Arthur's choice.
Arthur sat in the family study, facing the family patriarch - his uncle. His cold tone was like the cold wind in winter, biting and cold.
"Arthur, you should know that our family has a long tradition and honor. Marrying a commoner is not allowed. You must end this relationship for the sake of the family and your own future."
My uncle's words were cold and direct, without a trace of emotion, as if he was discussing a business matter.
Arthur raised his head, his eyes revealing determination: "Uncle, I respect the family tradition, but I also have the right to pursue my own happiness. Lilith...she means a lot to me. She is one of the most important people in my life."
"Arthur, are you challenging the honor of our family?" his uncle's voice became even harsher.
"uncle……"
"Think about it carefully. Which is more important, future or love..."
After the patriarch finished speaking, he turned away. Arthur was alone in the study, thinking. His heart was heavy. The expectations of his family and Lilith's smiling face appeared alternately in his mind.
At the same time, all kinds of rumors about Arthur and Lilith were circulating in the aristocratic circles of the wizarding world.
Many people laughed at Arthur behind his back, thinking that he had lowered himself to associate with a commoner.
In particular, at a social event in the wizarding world, Arthur felt the sarcasm and ridicule from his fellow aristocrats.
A young nobleman named Cass said to Arthur in a sarcastic tone: "Arthur, you really opened our eyes. I didn't expect you to be in love with a commoner. This is really interesting."
Arthur did not back down in the face of these taunts, he calmly refuted Cas.
"Cas, my love doesn't need anyone's approval. Lilith and I are together because we love each other, not to meet anyone's expectations."
Although Arthur maintained a strong front in public, privately he was in great pain and struggling.
