Library's secrets

"Morning"

".... Morning" Selene said despondently 

Theo greeted Selene normally. Selene greeted back but with less energy.

"Looks like the affects of the debuffs is affecting you well"

"Ugh..... Stamina deficiency sucks a*s"

"I can't believe you're cursing so much with the mouth with the one and only Selene"

"Shut up. Don't waste my already lacking energy" Selene said as she placed her hand over one of her ears.

This showcased one of the difficulties of playing Selene. 

Her stamina would also drastically decrease during battles, which makes her a very susceptible character to damage

"Can we just hurry up? I want that bracelet ASAP"

"Roger, princess"

Theo and Selene decided to start with the secret in this villa's library. It was one of the items that could only be obtained in mid game after getting a clue from the academy library but was also not necessarily a must get for most veteran players. There were no loopholes that could be exploited as the game didn't let you access this specific library until later in the game.

Theo and Selene basically took advantage of the freedom of reality and exploited all the items that could be taken that's not possible in game.

Usually the game would skip most of the prologue and show the eventful parts of the game has to offer.

Theo and Selene walked all the way on the back of the library and started looking at the cover for each book.

"Hmmm... no.. no.. no.. no.. no.. " Theo said while scanning the bookshelf.

"... Oh I got it!"

Selene explained in an excited voice. 

"Nice one, Selene, I thought we'll be here all day"

"Hehe, keep up the praises" Selene proudly said, happily

"Now open it" Theo excitedly pointed out

"Alright, here we go"

Selene turned the pages and went to page 777 and read the first and last sentences out loud

"The grass is sometimes greener on the other side, but greener does not always mean healthier"

"Whoever made this is a weirdo" Theo understanding what the quote implied.

Most veteran players already knew that the content of the book was about a philanthropist's experience with multiple women.

The same philanthropist was also one of the great mages 200 years ago, who built up this Estate and library.

After a few seconds of waiting the book suddenly shined in green light and transformed into a bracelet with three green gems embedded on it.

"Hehehe, first exploit equipment comes to me. '' Selene giddily commented.

"It always feels great discovering new ways to exploit the game" Theo agreeingly chuckled

Both Selene and Theo from the past lives also had a number of secrets and exploits they discovered that were still not public to other players, which further explains the sheer difference between them and other players.

"Finally I don't have to tired most of the time with this, but I do hate the true purpose of this item"

"....Hahaha" 

Theo could laugh awkwardly at Selene's comment

The item was meant to be given to one of the lovers of this so-called great mage, but was unable to after discovering his infidelity, so he decided to just store it in this library where he and his lover first met. 

Selene wore the bracelet and felt a cool breeze that waved passed her body. The lacking energy she had also welled up within her, making her smile in delight. 

"Finally, I won't look like a sloth to other people"

"And your more useful now" Theo quipped

"Shut up" 

The bracelet's effects were simple. The user would have a medium boost on their stamina, which Selene greatly needs to counteract some of her stamina debuff. The other ability was a three uses of Wind Sprint which greatly alleviates a person's speed with the help of a Wind enchantment for a brief moment. Cooldown was five minutes per Wind sprint. This ability was especially good when dodging, escaping or taking someone by surprise.

"How about we give this bad boy a test run?"

Selene clearly eager, like a child, to test her new toy

"Sure, let's head to the indoor training hall, but before that....."

Before they left, Theo went to the other end of the library and took a book with a Red cover with the title "Red", a vital item for them to use at a later date.

"We don't need that anymore, Why are you grabbing it Theo," Selene asked

"Oh we will, just trust me" Theo grinned

"Whatever." Selene leaving Theo as she went to the exit of the library

Both fiances went out of the library and found their personal servants waiting for them outside the door.

"Welcome back Young master and Her Highness Selene, you were both quick to leave the library"

Says the brown haired and green eyed beautiful maid in her late teens.

"We just wanted to see the library, we didn't intend on doing anything else, Elsa"

Selene smiled warmly at Elsa, her maid.

 "I see, both young master and young mistress seemed really eager to visit the library hence why it led me to believe that both His Highness and Lady Selene would be there for a while"

Bennet who was situated beside Elsa said.

"I see, well sorry to go against your belief there Bennet. Can both of you perhaps lead us to the Indoor training hall?"

"As you command young master"

Bennet responded swiftly and started leading the way for both Theo and Selene.

Half of me still feels really weird to be a noble. Ordering people around just doesn't feel right.

The events of yesterday were also met with questions from both Elsa and Bennet, but Both Selene and Theo decided that the reasoning behind their bizarre actions was just the result of extreme nervousness and an impulse of excitement. 

As they head to their destination, Bennet brought up a question that he was wondering

"May I ask the reason for why The young master and mistress decided to head to the training hall?"

Usually questioning a noble of their actions or orders as a servant would be met with severe repercussions, but Theo saw Bennet as a part of his family and one of the people who took care of him when he was a child, this also applies with the relationship between Selene and Elsa.

Theo grinned and spoke

"Just a light spar with lady Selene as per her request"

Elsa from behind gasped in shock and turned her head towards Selene with a disapproving gaze.

"Lady Selene, I am against this spar. You fully understand that your body is no way in shape for a battle, especially with His highness Theodore"

"It'll be fine Selene, father just recently permitted me with straining exercises as long as within the limits of my strength. Don't worry Theo will be gentle with me"

<Snake > Theo

<Your getting pummeled> Selene

<In your dreams> Theo

<watch me, and no mana for you, got that?> Selene

<Bet, still winning> Theo

Elsa still had reluctant expressions and was also confused by the sudden change Selene had, but at the same time was happy to see her be more open to her desires at the same time.

She nonchalantly nodded

"If your Her highness and Young master agrees to this duel, I Elsa shall follow your every order"

"Thank you, Elsa"

The smile Selene showed Elsa further erased her doubts and decided to believe in her master. 

Bennet on the other hand was also surprised to see his master, who usually was calm in every moment visibly excited on fighting anyone other than his father, brother or instructor. 

Both servants misunderstood and concluded that their changes must be beacuse of the power of love.

<Loser gets to eat the exclusive food item later in city> Selene

<Selene, you clearly overestimating yourself>Theo

<HAH! We'll see about that> Selene

When clearly, it was the power of desperation on wanting to see the other person groveling on the floor.
