Knowledge Protector

When the boy looked up, I was very stunned. I thought I saw his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Are you also interested?"

Wow!

His voice is very soothing. I think that if he could sing, many ladies would melt. I checked him up and down. He was very handsome. He quite looks like a fairy.

I nod my head, agreeing with him.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Evangeline. Yours?"

"I'm Duayne Reginmund."

Reginmund? That's familiar. Where did I hear this last name? Hmm.

"Wait, a minute! How are you related to the Reginmund's?"

"I am the only child of the current head of the family."

"Really?!"

I was very surprised. The Reginmunds are also known as Guardians of the empire. They are also known as the Knowledge Protector. Their family goes way back together with the Evernight.

The first emperor delegated their family to protect all the records and books in the empire. The family is widely composed of different scholars.

I also heard that they have many collections of different kinds of books from other countries. They have a closed relationship with the royal family.

"I also recognized you! Are you the youngest daughter of the Duke of Evernight?"

"How can you recognize me?"

I was very surprised that he knows me.

"We were invited on your 1st birthday. Wait, how are you able to talk fluently? You just turned 1-year-old?

Busted!

"Can I trust that you will not tell anyone about this?"

"Of course, our families have deep relationships and I also sometimes discuss things with your eldest brother."

Thank God! Does he know Skylur?

"I'm with my brother right now."

"Oh, so you came together. So what brings you here to a bookstore? Do you also know how to read?"

"Yes. That's why I approached you. You seem to be concentrating well with the book when we entered."

He leaned closer and whispered in my ears. My god!

"Perhaps have you received Cuevan's blessing?"

I looked at him, surprised.

"How did you know? Was I too obvious?"

"I have read all the books regarding the god's blessings."

"The empire has books on god's blessings? Do you have one? Can I borrow it?"

"Yes. We have it in our library. I will send it to your house tomorrow if you want."

"Really? Thank you so much."

"But can you also keep this secret?"

"That you have blessings?"

"Yes. It will be very troublesome if other people know."

"Sure. I will keep your secrets."

"Thanks."

"By the way, are you interested in this book? Are you reading something about the creatures around the empire?"

"Yes. Can you also let me borrow it together with the god's blessings book?"

Of course, I could not tell you that I have a different agenda! Hahaha!

"Sure."

He handed me the book and I read the title carefully.

"A Collection of information about the Creatures in the Kraevia Empire," I murmured.

"This book has awesome explanations regarding different creatures. It also tells you their habitat, behaviors, and some examples of what to do if you encounter one."

"Seems like the author was the one who collected his own information."

"I also think so. The way he writes the book, I can feel that it was based on his own experience."

"Duayne you're also here!"

"Skylur, it's nice to see you."

Wow. I did not notice Skylur was already beside me. When did he arrive?

"Your sister and I were just talking something about the book I was just reading."

"Hahaha! She likes to read new things. Would you like to visit our house sometime?"

"If it's okay, can I come tomorrow? I will also deliver the books that your sister borrowed from me."

I just feel that I was out of place when the two of them were talking. But it seems like my brother trusts him. He did not show any signs of discontent when he knew we were talking.
