Over the following week I learned some things. I have a lot to do if I don't want everyone in my family to find out something is wrong with me.

Having meals with the rest of the family which is well weird to me. Having sword practise followed by smithing. While I did enjoy both it was time I could have spend doing other things like planning and setting things into motion. But not all is as bad as I first thought because by smithing an object I can earn xp, and after doing some experimentation it seems that the better quality material, hard work and time and the end results are can all determine how much xp I earn. So far I only gained 86xp but if I can find a good item to make with the best ratio of time and xp gained that could help me farm xp for my lover levels.

It was also for me very easy to get into things like Sword Fighting and Smithing since my body and muscle memory knew what to do and I also had all the knowledge I just needed to follow what felt right and most the time it was a good or atlest decent result.

Winning duels also gained me xp but it seems the more often I win against the same person the less xp I gain and since my predecessor won against most the knights and good Soldiers before I took over. Which means I only got like 3 xp over 20 fights. But this is still good to know that I can gain xp even without killing my opponents. Gaining this knowledge I made a list of people that I should duel if given a chance.

Following this I spent the majority of my time in the smithy to experiment with random objects to make. While Swords gained me very much xp they also cost the most of materiell and time, however I found 2 things Spearheads and Daggers seem to be the best for time spent and xp gained.

While doing all this experimentation I gained another 120xp and set a plan to focus on making daggers in the next weeks.

I made a decree that all people that brake the law are to be imprisoned even if it is only stealing or minor stuff since we are in wartime.

Then I spend the majority of my time over the next 3 weeks forging daggers day in and day out. While it gained me alot of xp it also gave me a lot of weapons which I placed in my bag of holding. Overall in these 3 weeks I crafted 10 daggers gaining me 50xp each meaning I got a big chunk of 500 xp. Afterwards I once again cleared out the prison gaining me another 320 xp. This brought my total to 1069 which means I could Level Druid to level 3 and another class to level 1.

I need Druid level 3 so that I can prepare the spell lesser restoration which should be able to cure my aunt and I am thinking of taking Bard level 1 since it is great for going to places as another persona and infiltrating places unseen. Having made my choices I open up the menu and buy Druid level 3 for 900xp and Bard level 1 for 100 being left with 69xp.

I instantly selected lesser restoration to be prepared for tomorrow.

Then for my Bard I had to make some choices for 3 Musical Instruments I am proficient with 2 cantrips and 2 level 1 spells.

For Instrumments I choose Lyre, Lute and Viol, for Cantrips Prestidigitation and Vicious Mockery and for my lvl 1 spells Disguise Self and Sleep.
