Yulia was extremely happy, carefully putting them back into her bag.

Seeing that Yulia indeed liked the gift she had given, Isabel also breathed a sigh of relief.

Aiwass had actually guessed right.

Yulia did like alchemy books...

How could a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl like that sort of thing?

The Moriarty Family wasn’t short of money, so giving something that could be bought on the market would be meaningless; it would only show one’s lack of finesse and taste.

Simply giving books was also useless, since the library of the Royal Law University was the royal collection, which would be akin to making an offering of borrowed flowers.

...

But Aiwass did not know what Yulia liked—his suggestions could be said to be strangely peculiar.

Mechanics, electronics, chemistry, paleobiology, the most favorite should be products related to alchemy, such as alchemy books.

...Listen to this, does it seem like something a fifteen-year-old girl should like?

Isabel even thought for a moment about giving Yulia a set of butterfly specimens.

This should count as paleobiology and seemed more in line with a girl’s aesthetic—it at least looked pretty.

But after much thought, she decided to respect Yulia’s personal preferences.

So, she finally thought of the appropriate gift:

—A unique manuscript translation of an alchemy text!

Even though Isabel had not been very interested in alchemy herself back then, she felt it was a very precious gift and had treasured it.@@@@

However, “treasured” as she claimed, Isabel had almost forgotten about it completely, only with great difficulty remembering she had such a set of books.

Now they could find an owner who truly understood their value.

Even putting aside her own factor of ingratiating herself with Yulia...Isabel was indeed very happy now.

The girl was quite endearing.

Looking at a content Yulia hugging the books, showing a young girl’s happy smile, Isabel revealed a tender smile.

She had guessed right after all, her interactions with Yulia would definitely be delightful!

“What about Aiwass?”

Isabel asked again.

“Brother is reading,” Yulia followed closely with her handbag beside Isabel, “He said he’s...preparing for his next promotion.”

Yulia’s fondness for Isabel had greatly increased.

Not only had she given Yulia a gift she liked, but her attitude toward knowledge also made Yulia quite appreciative—she had initially thought that as a Transcendent of the Path of Beauty, Isabel should not care much about alchemy knowledge...Unexpectedly, she actually had some research on alchemy.

While waiting for Aiwass, she chatted with Isabel for a few moments.

she no longer rushed to carry out Aiwass’s requests in a panicked flurry.

Instead, she began trying to think from the other person’s perspective, using her own common sense and knowledge to assess what problems the other might encounter, before attempting to solve them in advance.

Isabel unexpectedly discovered that she was quite adept at this.

Although she lacked the talent of Authority that could control others’ wills, guide their thoughts, and strengthen their loyalty...

she possessed the gift of sensing others’ souls.

She could easily discern their hidden true intentions from their words and expressions.

Not everyone expresses their true thoughts in conversation.

Some are unable to, and some are unwilling.

And as a “Prodigy,” Isabel’s understanding of others was improving in sync—

Perhaps because interpreting the heart and longing belonged to the realm of Beauty.

As she delved deeper into conversation with Yulia, Isabel gradually sensed a bit of Yulia’s essence.

She vaguely perceived something.

...Yulia didn’t seem to be the fragile and tender girl that Aiwass described.

On the contrary, she possessed a very calm...

even a cold-hearted disposition devoid of sentimentality.

Yulia had a strong and competitive nature, and she was much more powerful than Isabel on many levels.

The softness and attachment she displayed was not because her soul was fragile...

but because she had a high opinion of herself, and even more so of Aiwass.

Therefore, in front of the two of them, Yulia did not wish to reveal her aggressiveness—

But what would Yulia do if she faced someone she disliked?

Aiwass instructed Yulia to act distant towards her classmates after enrolling, to protect herself...

he always felt Yulia was weak and needed the protection of others.

And indeed, that was the image Yulia presented in front of Aiwass.

But in Isabel’s view, this was not the case.

Perhaps Yulia didn’t need to pretend at all.

She just needed to express her true feelings.

Isabel suddenly became a little interested.

—She wanted to see Yulia go to school.

To see how she would display her icy true nature.
