I Am Really a Witch

Chapter 6

Circe did not believe it. She cast a Detection Spell, but the glaring traces of her own magic instantly shattered her last bit of hope.

When they got closer, she realized that there were actually three people.

Two young men followed Mr. Maurice. One of them was the kind-hearted gentleman that Circy bumped into the day before.

It was very quiet here, and the conversation carried by the wind was very clear.

"This is the garden. It was specially designed by someone. It's a personal hobby.

It can't be compared to your manor, but it's still good to have a look. "

The smile on Mr. Morris's face was a rare display of enthusiasm. He had always thought that his family was the most aristocratic in the whole town, but now, he was being very careful with his words.

Could it be that these two were nobles?

Circy blinked in confusion.

Obviously, the witch had neglected one thing. Mr. Maurice was not a noble himself. Therefore, other than status, there was also money that could make him bow down.

The kind-hearted gentleman looked serious. He did not respond to the compliments and only nodded slightly.

His companion was much more friendly and easy-going. "Mr. Maurice, you're too modest. With my little experience, I dare say that your garden is the best!"

Mr. Maurice's face became brighter and brighter. He rubbed his hands and said, "It's great that you like it!"

Well, it seemed that they were Mr. Maurice's tenants?

Circe stroked Kassandra's soft fur and leaned out to take a look with the help of the concealment spell.

The kind-hearted gentleman suddenly looked around vigilantly. He even focused his eyes on the tree where Circy was hiding.

Of course, he could not find anything. He frowned and observed for a while. Finally, he gave up in confusion.

Circy was very confident in her magic. She would not be discovered even if they looked at each other face to face.

However, this man was surprisingly sensitive.

No, it was not that surprising. After all, he had noticed that she was forced into the alley by the gangsters on the other side of the street.

It was a pity that he would not be able to sneak into such a nice garden in the future.

There was still a difference between having people around and not having people around. In a situation like today, if they were not careful, they would be exposed.

Pouting, Circy caressed the tree trunk with nostalgia.

The surrounding flowers and plants sensed the dejected emotions of the aura that they were close to and fond of, and also withered. The children who had been trying their best to show off just now all drooped pitifully.

Fortunately, at this time, the three people had already gone far away, so they did not have to see this strange scene.

Circy also came out from behind the tree. She glanced at their backs and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she gave up the idea of casting a tracking spell on the kind-hearted man.

This gentleman didn't seem like a talkative person. After careful calculation, the possibility of them meeting was really not high. She might as well just let him be and avoid him as much as possible.

As soon as Circy stepped into the house, she was pulled into the living room by Charlotte, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, oh, Circy, you're back!"

It was rare that Sir Lucas did not have any newspapers in his hands. He smiled at the sisters as they walked in. "Come, come, come. I have something to tell you."

"Ma 'am!

You come quickly too! "he shouted again.

After everyone sat down, Sir Lucas cleared his throat. "Netherfield Garden, it has been confirmed that there will be a new tenant!"

Circy raised her eyebrows in surprise. She did not expect her father to be so well-informed. She had just confirmed this before she left, and now it had already reached her father's ears.

Sir Lucas misunderstood Circy's surprise. He pretended to be mysterious and winked at the sisters. "It's a young gentleman, and a rich one at that. This is really good, isn't it?" He paused. "This is really good."

It seems that the news is not that well-informed, Circy thought to herself. It's obviously two gentlemen.

But what's so good about this?

Seeing that her sister did not catch the hint from her father's words, Charlotte smiled and stroked her hair.

She's still a little girl. She doesn't think so much.

Unlike her.

She sighed slightly as she thought about it.

If Circy knew what Charlotte was thinking, she would probably jump up and argue.

She had thought a lot about it!

She had already thought about what kind of person she wanted to marry!

This kind of rich gentleman was not suitable for her.

However, Circy's brain was not very sharp in this kind of daily life. She did not catch Sir Lucas's hint before, and now she did not understand why Charlotte was sighing.

"In three days!

I'll officially visit in three days! "Sir Lucas was already planning his itinerary.

This big news that made all the single ladies in town excited did not affect Circy at all.

Oh, she just had to avoid that kind man as much as possible.

The single ladies' fighting spirit was not to be underestimated. They received new news almost every day. That Mr. Bentley was like a man made of gold in their mouths.

On the other hand, there was still no news about the other person. The town did not seem to know that there was such a person. He was too low-key.

Looking at the carriage he got on the street of London when he left that day, Circy knew that he was a rich man. Circy thought about it for a moment and then put it behind her.

She was running out of lizards. She had to replenish her materials.

After so many years, Circy already had a fixed place to catch lizards.

It was remote enough that she would not be discovered. She could also use some harmless magic.

Cassandra was guarding by the side. Circy's fingertips had just accumulated a stun spell when she heard Cassandra barking to remind her.

Circy immediately stopped her hand gesture and carefully straightened up. "Sandi?"

Kassandra shouted twice in a certain direction and then quieted down. The guard stood beside her and stared in that direction with his beast eyes.

A man came out from behind the tree. He did not expect the girl and the dog to be so vigilant. He bowed slightly. "I'm sorry to disturb you. I was just about to leave." When he looked up, there was still an apologetic look on his face. However, this apologetic look was quickly broken by shock.

"You are …" His face seemed to show that he understood for a moment, but he quickly hid it and bowed again.

Circy was embarrassed to stand still. She also bowed back. Thanks to the tutor Sir Lucas hired, she remembered this gesture even if she did not want to learn it.
