Sophia saw the expression on Alia's face but she couldn't say anything.
Because at this mont, Sophia understood that no words could truly explain what they were currently feeling.
"It's not your fault, Alia," Sophia said slowly. "She made her choice and you can't do anything about it."
Alia opened her mouth and then closed it again.
She shook her head and said nothing.
But at this mont, her desire to beco stronger was extrely strong. Her friends could say that they were not wrong because they were indeed not very close to Victoria. The main reason why they have contacted Victoria in the first place was because she was then who introduced them to her and then let Victoria asked the academy to set up their rooms nearby.
In this way, the six of them ca roommates on the sa floor.
But Victoria had a single room just like Claire.
The two of them rarely played together with the other four since their family was also rich and they didn't stay in the dormitory often.
The one who usually stayed in the dormitory were Riya and Ruby.
The rest only treated it as a place for them to go from ti to ti.
So it was only natural that they didn't pay much attention to Victoria and if the other party didn't say anything, they would not help her either.
But Alia couldn't.
Because Victoria is her cousin and she knew the situation in Victoria's family better than anyone.
But she didn't reach out.
Aside from helping Victoria to stay in better apartnt, helping to pay so contribution points at the beginning, and sending so resources for training, she didn't co to see Victoria for a long ti.
It seed as if she had forgotten that she had such a cousin.
At this mont, Alia simply despised herself.
She should have done more…
Perhaps, if she had done so, Victoria would not be driven to follow this path and could embark on a completely different path.
…
Mr. Jones ca to his daughter's side at the fastest speed possible.
At Alia's request, he investigated what Victoria has been doing lately and when Alia looked at it, she was angry.
Angry at the corrupt security guard who took bribe to let these people co in.
Angry at her uncle and aunt who tried to force Victoria to work for them.
Angry at herself who didn't realize that such thing happen.
Victoria didn't say anything and it was originally impossible for Alia to know. But how could Victoria ca to Alia openly and ask for help?
From the very beginning, Victoria was unwilling to ask for help from others and kept it all in her heart.
It was also because of this that others didn't know that she needed help.
Does she need others wait for them to realize what had happened to her automatically?
If she said nothing, no one will know.
And this was the case.
Victoria was used to be by herself for no one in her family would be willing to help her. It was precisely because of this that Victoria chose to pick an extre path for the sake of getting stronger and unwilling to let others co and reach out.
"Does she think that no one cares for her?" Alia snapped and wanted to throw away the docunt in her hand.
Beside her, Sophia was following her to know what happened to Victoria. But after seeing these things, she was also silent.
Because Sophia understood that Victoria will definitely not ask for other people's help.
"I think… she's an independent person who wouldn't want others to worry about her." Sophia smiled faintly. "She didn't want other people in her life and it's precisely because of this that things ended in this way."
But she could also understood why Victoria chose this way.
It's pride.
They all ca from influential family and every single one of them have similar family background. Well, excluding Riya and Ruby. These two people's family backgrounds were really different.
The four of them, including Claire who was still living outside, were all used to be in high position.
They were in the position where they could get everything easily. When would they need to ask others for help?
There was no need to do so.
They just needed to order soone.
But now, they couldn't.
Even if they wanted to get the basic supplies, they had to work hard for the sake of it and then traded it with their hard work or through other supplies.
"I… I know…" Alia muttered in a low voice.
She knew that it was not so easy for Victoria to ask others for help.
Because Victoria was raised in a family where her opinion never mattered and all she could do was to follow through what her parents arranged. Every single ti she went against them, she would be punished.
The change of the world could be said to be a chance for her to break away from her family mbers too. It was precisely because of this that Victoria chose to live by herself and didn't listen to them again.
Her parents were no longer the most powerful people here.
But Victoria underestimated them.
They would not let her go so easily and this was sothing that Victoria noticed easily too.
It was precisely because of this that Victoria was being pushed again and again. The only thing she could do was to figure out a way to get out of here and beco stronger.
Because when Victoria beca a magic warrior, she would have higher rights and her parents couldn't touch her so easily.
The problem is…
Her talent is not there.
Talent, ah…
This was a problem that many people couldn't solve so easily because it was innate. Everyone had different talent and it was simply impossible to change.
The only thing they could do was to work hard and try their best to get stronger even if their talent seed to tell them that it was an impossible thing.
