"Time to go back," Evan replied. He smiled happily. "I have successfully completed father's request to make friend. He should be happy!"
Thinking that Evan chose someone from the Black Family to befriend, Aya had the feeling that her uncle would rather beat Evan rather than praising him.
To be honest, Aya didn't understand how Evan managed to become the family's head in the future.
Then again, a child's personality was not fixed yet.
There was still a lot of chance for Evan to grow up along the way.
And Aya didn't say anything.
When they came back, Aya slipped back to her residence and found her father was looking in her direction with the same stern face. To be honest, Aya wondered whether her father could change his expression or not because he seemed to always have that kind of face.
Oh well, he was the Patriarch of the White Family.
"Father," Aya called out.
"Do your evening training," Patriarch White ordered.
It seemed that her interaction with her father has always been the order for training and the instruction for training.
Perhaps this was the education method of the current Patriarch White.
Aya said nothing and did her work.
Anyway, she was not a real child, so this matter was not a big problem for her.
After that, Aya heard her cousin brother was beaten up by her uncle before being asked to recite the family's history. It seemed that the continuous physical training was no good and Evan had to learn the history more.
She had already been reading various books without even Patriarch White giving the order.
In this way, Aya was naturally aware of many things that happened during this time period and would not make any severe mistake.
If there was anything that Aya felt regret of...
It was her mother's death after her brother was born.
Aya had only realized the main reason why there was no record of Evan's family after he inherited the position of the patriarch was most likely because the original patriarch family was most likely wiped out before that time.
Aya looked at her younger brother.
The boy was born premature and also weaker than an ordinary baby. With this defect, it would be harder for him to practice physical arts in the future.
As for using magic to cure him?
But magic was not omnipotent and the gene defect was not something that these healers could cure.
So it would be good enough if her brother could grow up and cultivate enough mana in the future to become stronger to protect himself. Because the current magic world was far from safe.
After some time, her brother was moved to a separate room with someone to keep watch over him.
It seemed that Patriarch White wanted to make sure his son could live safely until adulthood.
Aya didn't bother with it.
She continued with her training.
When she was four years old, Patriarch White called Evan to train with Aya, sparring against each other.
Aya completely crushed Evan.
This made Patriarch White knew that it would be useless to let Evan spar with Aya and changed the sparring partner to himself. Of course, he gave himself limitations but he found that his daughter's physical strength was really great.
It was almost comparable to the family whose magic specialized in physical enhancement and the likes.
And Patriarch White was confused.
How did his daughter have high physical talent when most people in the White Family didn't have the talent in this area?
