Chapter 483 The Vengeful Little Alice (Bonus chapter for readers who voted for the book this month)
Although Alice was young, she was a woman of her word, and in the days that followed, the little girl began to take revenge on Broly in various ways.
This includes, but is not limited to, hiding in the bushes early in the morning, holding a wooden sword, intending to ambush the boy who comes to work.
Or, at the castle window, prepare a bucket of dirty water used to wipe the floor, and suddenly pour it down on the boy when he comes to the door.
They also used techniques they learned from the orc female swordsman of this family to create sandstorms, trying to blind him, and then charging at him from the front to deliver a punch, and so on.
However, Broly easily blocked them all, and each time Broly would grab the little one without hesitation and slap her undeveloped little bottom a few times as punishment.
"Ugh, you bastard, remember this! I'll get my revenge!"
As for Little Alice, her lines after each slap on the bottom never changed.
Broly looked at her with amusement: "Then tell me, how many times have I hit you now?"
Little Alice wanted to answer, but realized she couldn't count at all. After counting beyond the number on her fingers, she had no idea how many times she had been beaten. Tears welled up as she ran away, only to find her father, Philip Boreas, and say, "Father, I want a teacher who can teach me to count!"
When Philip asked his daughter why she wanted to learn to count, she learned that she wanted to keep track of how many times a boy spanked her so she could get revenge later. The young father agreed, while his wife, standing nearby, complained about Broly's behavior regarding their daughter being spanked.
After little Alice was comforted by her parents and stormed off to learn how to get revenge from Gilead, the young couple in the room exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
Although my daughter was often spanked and bullied, she is now willing to take the initiative to learn some knowledge, which is a good thing that is more beneficial than harmful. At least she doesn't have to be a wild child all the time, doing all sorts of things like walking chickens and fighting dogs and harming the flowers and plants in the yard.
"However, Alice is still young, so spanking is fine now. But when she gets older, will she always need someone to spank her and discipline her?"
Lady Hilda was somewhat worried about this. After all, her daughter was a young lady from a wealthy family. She couldn't possibly have to keep getting spanked to grow up, could she?
"Well, I believe that once Alice grows up a bit more, develops a sense of shame between men and women, and learns some manners, there will be no need to use this method to discipline her anymore."
Philip comforted his wife, but he didn't seem to care about Broly spanking their daughter.
Because in the family precepts of the Boreas family, even cheating on a beastman is not considered cheating, let alone being spanked by a beastman boy for a legitimate reason with appropriate force to teach him a lesson.
Should we hire a teacher to teach Alice to count?
"Mrs. Hilda asked."
"No need, because we already have a teacher like that in our family."
"I am your teacher who taught you to count."
"Ugh, it's you again?!"
Little Alice stared wide-eyed at the demon girl who entered the study, her face full of resentment.
"There's nothing I can do. It's a magic course I'm supposed to teach, and my students haven't come to class since the first day. I can't just collect wages without doing any work, or perhaps Miss Alice wants me to take advantage of your family?"
Luo Qixi winked at the little guy.
"I won't let you take advantage of my property!"
Little Alice said somewhat angrily, she hadn't forgotten why she had been spanked in the first place. In her simple mind, the long-tailed brat had hit her because she hadn't attended his magic class.
Well, as for little Alice, she no longer remembers the real reason she was beaten, but that doesn't stop her from harboring hostility towards the demon girl.
"In that case, you'd better pay attention in class, otherwise I'll end up taking advantage of all the benefits your family enjoys."
Loki smiled and told the girl that Alice's personality was a bit wild, but she was still just a child. After figuring out her stubborn and strong-willed personality, and after being slightly provoked by Broly, the demon girl, who had already spoken with Philip and his wife, once again became the girl's math teacher.
"Alice, how many numbers can you count to right now?"
"snort……"
"If you're not going to say anything, then I'm leaving. That way, I can easily take your family's money without having to do any work for you."
"Wow, I can count on both hands now!"
Little Alice was conflicted, but in order not to let that awful magic teacher, Lokishi, have an easy time, she still revealed the limit of the number she could count.
"Wow, that's amazing! That's 1 to 10! When I was your age, I couldn't even count that many numbers!"
Luo Qixi looked amazed and praised the girl.
"Huh?!"
Little Alice's red ahoge (cowlick) curled upwards, and she immediately became animated.
"Of course, I'm the best!"
The little one was very easily fooled. Loki felt that she was just a miniature version of Rene, but she went along with her.
"Little Alice is so amazing, I'm sure she'll learn numbers very quickly too..."
Loki immediately went into teaching mode. Although she was teaching number recognition instead of magic, the girl still put in her best effort.
Of course, this skill refers to providing enough emotional value to little Alice. Before this, Loki had already asked the girl how she managed to get the little girl to be willing to learn swordsmanship, the only swordsmanship teacher who never got bored. The answer she received was very simple.
"After learning swordsmanship, I can destroy more things, which gives Alice a great sense of accomplishment, and becoming stronger is a very good thing."
Kyrie's answer made the demon girl realize that the method Lokishi came up with to teach Little Alice was to let the girl who was learning in stages feel her own growth in learning. The reason why Lokishi wanted to do this was because she wanted to get along well with Little Alice.
Otherwise, she strongly suspected that by the end of this cycle, little Alice would hate Broly, and Broly wouldn't like the little guy either.
After all, compared to this difficult little guy, in the village of Buena, just a day's carriage ride from Roya City, Crystal Palace's other new target, a two-and-a-half-year-old mixed-race long-eared green-haired girl named Sylphie Yett, is an absolutely well-behaved child.
When she and Broly went to find him, he was being ostracized and bullied by other children in the village because of his hair color.
The children kept shouting things like "demon, demon," until the real demon, Miss Lokishi, stood behind them and told them that this was what a real demon looked like, which scared the little brats away.
"Please don't eat me!"
Hilfi was also somewhat afraid, as the Spelud tribe's legend of eating children was widely circulated in the Central Continent.
It's basically the best tool for parents to scare disobedient children. Even when Luo Qixi was young, she was once deceived in this way by her own parents.
"Demons don't eat people."
After a gentle explanation, little Silphie, who was even younger than Alice, gratefully thanked the older sister and brother who had helped her out of the predicament.
After that, whenever Broly and Loki visited her, little Sylphie would be very happy, calling them "brother" and "sister" repeatedly, and welcoming their visit. This was the complete opposite of little Alice's behavior.
One seems difficult to win over, while the other seems incredibly easy to get. If little Xilufei weren't so young, they would definitely bring her to the house they bought in Roya and feed her lots of delicious food and drinks every day, making the girl happily generate happiness points.
Under Loki's guidance, little Alice quickly learned to count to numbers greater than ten, and her relationship with Loki improved.
Especially after learning that Loki was also an adventurer, Alice's respected teachers increased from one to two.
Before, it was Kyrie Irwin, whose rich swordsman adventure stories were Alice's favorite. Now, with the addition of Lokishi, there are adventure stories from a mage's perspective, which is double the joy. However, Alice's attitude towards Broly, the guy who slapped her butt, is still not good.
Every day when they meet, she tries to get revenge on Broly. Sometimes, when Broly and Loki are having lunch together, Alice will run over and pull Loki away to have lunch with Kyrie.
Winter passed and spring came, and in the blink of an eye, it was summer of the year 409 of the Kakuryon calendar. Little Alice was already five years old, and at five years old, she was about to make her official debut in front of the many nobles of the Fituia territory as a child of the Boreas family.
Five, ten, and fifteen years old—these are the ages when children from noble families in the Kingdom of Asura would be invited to banquets and make a public appearance.
The scale of a banquet reflects a family's wealth and strength, and of course, it also reflects the extent of their affection for the children who are the main figures at the banquet.
There was no doubt about Sauros's affection for Alice; however, little Alice showed absolutely no interest in the banquet.
Instead of spending time attending banquets, it would be better to practice swordsmanship with Girenu or water magic with Lokishi.
That's right. After their relationship improved and after half a year of learning, Alice Boreas had mastered the basic water magic spell, Water Ball, and was now learning the intermediate water magic spell, Water Cannon.
However, Alice was, after all, a noble lady. Even if she was unwilling, she had to become the protagonist of the banquet for the sake of her family. Her mother prepared a gorgeous dress for her, and Broly and Loki were invited by the Boreas family as sparring partners and teachers, respectively.
"It's a very simple thing. She stands in front of others, introduces herself, the adults talk about adult things, and the children play together. I believe our smart and lovely Alice will be able to make good friends."
Lady Hilda adjusted her daughter's dress, trusting her to do it all right. But in reality, Alice messed it up. Unskilled in social interaction, she beat up a viscount's daughter on the very day she appeared at the banquet at the age of five.
The reason was that a group of girls from noble families came to meet Alice. When they were discussing their interests, little Alice mentioned her love for swords and magic, but was ridiculed by them.
They believed that swordsmanship and magic were skills that only adventurers should practice, while nobles only needed to do their noble duties.
For example, learning aristocratic etiquette and mastering the types of snacks one should enjoy each afternoon, depending on the weather and one's mood.
This aligns with the mindset of the common nobles in the Kingdom of Asura, but it's not something Little Alice approves of.
"No matter what, you shouldn't have hit someone at your own party."
"But that guy laughed at my swordsmanship and magic!"
"Those are indeed skills that a noble lady should not practice. Etiquette and manners are what make you a qualified noble lady. Alice, you should apologize to the child you hit. That way, others will not be afraid of you and will be your friends."
"Mom, I hate you!"
"Alice".
Just as Soros arrived, little Alice ran out of the room.
Perhaps she was truly heartbroken, for the girl didn't even notice her grandfather.
"Hilda..."
"Father."
"You harmed your daughter for the sake of some minor nobles who curry favor with our Boreas family."
"But the social interactions of the nobility..."
"Don't worry about those things. As long as the Boreas family remains the masters of the Fituia territory, Alice will always have a noble status. And unless she is in the wrong, no one can laugh at her, laugh at my granddaughter."
Lady Hilda lowered her head and apologized to her father-in-law: "I'll go find her and bring her back right away."
"No need, someone has already gone."
"I don't care about friends at all."
Hiding in the stable, little Alice was very disappointed. She didn't understand why she was being scolded by her mother for such a thing, when she wasn't the one in the wrong.
"If you don't care about friends, then why are you hiding here crying?"
A voice came from the haystack asking questions.
"I didn't cry."
Little Alice wiped her eyes and retorted before looking up at the boy who had appeared on the haystack.
"You annoying guy, are you here to laugh at me?"
She asked.
"No, I just wanted to invite you to throw water balloons on other people's heads. Do you want to go?"
"Hey, whose head are we going to throw a water balloon at?"
"That guy who mocked your magic, that guy looks down on magic so much, then go teach him a lesson."
Little Alice was a little stunned, staring blankly at the boy who was speaking like that.
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll go by myself."
"I'll go."
The little guy, realizing what was happening, said fiercely.
