C13 - The Garden part.2

.

Netherlands.

Flower capital of the world.

With its lush gardens.

With flowers of the most varied colors.

Roses, blues, yellow, black, white, red.

The Gardens of Holland are arguably the most beautiful on earth.

But why am I talking about a country from my past life?

Simple.

Because in front of me is a sea of flowers. Tulips, Hyacinths, Ris, Daffodils, Roses. And other magnificent flowers. Even in the lake there are flowers like Nuphar Lutea. Of course, I'm just associating. For I do not know whether the names of the flowers of Arcanum will be the same as their counterparts on earth. And I doubt it is since they are much more beautiful here than on earth.

Looking at the sea before me, I only remember the Keukenhof Garden in the Netherlands. I had the pleasure of visiting them once. And I must say, they are magnificent. Of course, my objective there was to buy drugs but...well, back to the topic. Even he, in front of the Garden in front of me, loses his grace. The place has an ethereal beauty. The sound of water flowing, birds chirping, the gentle wind. Everything in this place exudes beauty, calm and peace.

I knew the Garden was beautiful since I could see it from the balcony but seeing it from afar and walking through it are two totally different things. The first is how to view a beautiful image on a high-resolution screen. The second is, well, experiencing it. There is simply no comparison.

"Wowwwww

Look mom. What beautiful flowers. And look, birds. INCREDIBLE. See, look over there. That white flower. It looks like my hair hahhaha. And look at that other one, it's floating in the water. Cool. This is incredible."

"Hahaha. It seems like you really liked the Garden, my love. I also love this place. Did you know that I was the one who planted all these flowers?"

"Um...really? ALL OF THEM?"

Looking to the side was my sister talking to my mother. Listening to her conversation, I couldn't help but notice Charlotte's suspicious tone when my mother said that she planted the entire Garden. Of course, I feel the same way. I mean, this Garden is vast. Incredibly vast.

"Fufu, of course it was me alone. Ask your father."

"Yes. Your mother actually planted all of this herself. She always loved flowers. It really was a magnificent transformation."

My father replied in response to my mother's question. I mean, I wonder how long it took her to do that. Well, the result was truly incredible.

"So? Surprised, right? Yes. Your mother is incredible. You can be proud of that hahaha"

Looking at my mother all smiling, I couldn't help but smile too.

'She's really proud of that huh', I couldn't help but think about it.

At that moment, we were all walking. My parents thought it would be better for Charlotte and I to walk to get a better experience of the place. I mean, I agree with him. What about nannies? Well, my parents told her to stay at the entrance to the garden. After all, this is a family experience. He didn't want the nannies to get in the way.

So, we've been walking around the place for about two hours and I have to say, I don't feel tired at all. Which is strange since I would normally already be out of breath if I moved that much.

"We arrived, children. This here was the beginning of everything. It was after planting this tree that I decided to plant flowers all over the place. So let's rest here and have a snack."

Hearing my mother's voice, I look around and see a magnificent and immense tree. Its leaves come in different colors. Observing it, I notice some colorful oval-shaped fruits giving off an extremely sweet smell that resembles passion fruit mixed with cupuaçu. I couldn't help but salivate.

"Don't worry kids. I'll get each of you a mancuja."

My father said looking at me and Charlotte with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but notice my mother also smiling and Charlotte drooling.

'Eww, am I drooling too?' Quickly passing my hand over my mouth, I couldn't help but feel an icy sensation on my wrist. I was drooling...

"Hahahahaahhahaa

Don't worry kids. Your brothers have the same reaction as you hahaha" Hearing my father's laugh, I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. As for Charlotte? The silly girl is still staring at the fruits.

Watching their children's reactions, Mary and Julius couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

The reason they came to the garden wasn't just so the children could hang out. They had a greater purpose: to make the twins ingest mancuja. This tree is a treasure and its fruits are no different. Its fruits have various effects but what makes them so coveted is their ability to purify the body, attune, cleanse and condense mana and, most importantly, strengthen the soul. The effects of cleansing the body and purifying the soul greatly strengthen The spirit. After all, the spirit is the bridge between the soul and the body.

Of course, this fruit can only be eaten by awakened people or those who have begun the awakening process.

An average child usually begins the awakening process at the age of 10.

But how could the Potens lineage be common? Therefore, the beginning of their awakening begins at an average of 3 years and they awaken at 5. Therefore, children in the family usually eat mancuja after the age of 3. But obviously, this generation of the family is blessed. Since Edward completed his awakening at the age of 4 and even Philippes only took a few months longer than his brother.

As for the twins?

Since they were babies, there was already mana in their bodies. Initially, they thought it was just Mary's residual mana but after 3 months without it dissipating, they realized that, somehow, the twins managed to assimilate Mary's mana. Of course, the mana and the body were out of sync but they believed that after a few months things would be resolved so they were happy since the sooner mana is absorbed the better the child will develop.

Too bad they were wrong...
