Pilgrimage of Dreams 13

Duchess Kalea fiddles with the toy called 'gun' as was said by her daughter.

"Is this what little Ruru been working on that she forgot to eat meals and sleep?"

'You don't have to bring up that topic again'

Meir grumbles internally but she still obediently nods her head.

"A powerful force that does not need ether or source stone, interesting"

Duchess Kalea caresses her chin.

"My daughter has become so amazing while I was unaware"

She puts on a sad expression.

'Mother focus on the gun topic, not on some weird hay wired mind'

Meir cast a glimpse of contempt at her mother but hides it well.

"If this 'Gun' is upgraded, the materials used are enhanced as well as using a more powerful runes, it will be enough to even harm those of higher level rank"

Lina chipped in.

"The best part is that it can be used by ordinary civilians as well"

Lina eyes sparkled but in front of the duchess, she contains her excitement.

Even ordinary civilians will have a means to protect themselves. Not everyone have the blessing of awakening ether like sorcerer, prana for warrior and talent to awaken qi to aura for swordsman.

"Yes, my daughter is amazing"

"Young miss is a genius"

"By the way" Duchess Kalea tilts her head, she raises her hand as she points at the 'person' standing behind Meir "That person has the same breath as my daughter, I have never seen her face before. I have personally arranged all the servants who serve my daughter, who are you?"

"Huh?" Lina have a confused expression before her expression became that of alert then morphed turning a bit pale.

Because the 'person' has the same breath as her young miss, Lina failed to perceive 'her'. And as she was excited about the gun, she has paid no mind in checking the faces of people around the young miss when they came back at the manor.

She has erred.

Lina bit her lips.

This mistake is not acceptable.

"Mother, it's not a person it is a jointed ball doll I crafted. I carve out of the Aranya wood, Doll 1, greets mother"

Meir explained hurriedly.

What if they attacked her well crafted doll and destroy it? Meir will definitely cry.

The jointed ball doll steps forward, putting on a humble expression and bow down.

"Doll 1 greets the Duchess"

The movement and the expression are flawless.

"Jointed ball dolls? How can it be so life like?"

Mina wonders in amazement.

The servants who were in the room gasp and have a surprised expression.

"Aranya wood? Aranya wood can only be carved with Indigo pureness and higher…"

Duchess Kalea was quick to catch on the key word. She is sharp.

"I have violet ether pureness…"

Meir mumbles, channeling her ether and showing the violet color ether.

When Meir shows her ether color, like a hornet nest been poke a bedlam seems to have broken out.

The chattering and whispering became louder.

Mina also covers her lips with her hand looking at the pure ether.

There has never been a case where a sorcerer has a violet level pureness.

Indigo has always been the purest but someone finally produce a violet level pureness, and that someone is a person who is still so young.

-Clap

It was duchess Kalea who clap her hand once to garner attention.

"The room seems to have turn suddenly noisy, why is that?"

A gentle smile hangs on the Duchess lips but the gentle smile has succeeded in quieting the people inside the room.

"Good, much better" Duchess Kalea hum in approval, she rap on the table while continuing to speak "Hmm… my daughter is amazing, a little too amazing. Geniuses beget jealousy, although mother is not afraid of trouble, little Ruru is still too young, just a baby chick still learning to walk. Then it's decided, this information shall be sealed until Little Ruru is grown up and can soar up high in the sky"

Duchess Kalea smiles a bit brighter "Lina, take this servant to the chamber, wipe out the memory of this event, only dead people kept a secret but this humble lord is not a tyrant"

Duchess Kalea swept her eyes towards the servants.

The servants started to cold sweat, they quickly kneel down and kow tow, expressing their thanks for Duchess Kalea kindness and obediently follows Lina.

They willingly followed to proceeds memory erase.

'Amazing'

Meir silently thought, she has finally witnessed the cool side of her mother.

'ah… I am also her daughter, I want to have mother level of coolness too!'

Meir desired.

"Oh oh… Little Ruru come, come to mother, let mother give you a big hug and a smooch, my little Ruru is so amazing! Mother is so proud"

Duchess Kalea started squirming like those brain retarded fan after the servants left the room.

'I take back my word. I don't want to be like her at all!'

"I'm leaving, I have other things to do"

Meir decisively runs out of the study room.

Once Meir was gone, Duchess Kalea expression returns to normal.

The daughter con is normal when her daughter is not present.

"The emperor will covet the gun and would surely want the ownership of it"

Mina who was still in the room said to Duchess Kalea.

Her tone was not so respectful when she mentions the emperor of the Allerick Empire, the person with the highest authority.

"I will handle that when he found out. My child can play with whatever toys she wanted, I will not let anyone steal her toy"

Duchess Kalea nonchalantly replied, she sit back on her chair and glance at the gun, her eyes narrowed.

Another month had passed.

I look down at the cloaks, dress, blanket, shoes… that was neatly piled up in my laboratory.

All the dress are thin but are inscribed with sigils, temperature sigils. The clothes will adjust to whatever kind of temperature the wearer body needs.

The sigils has a five years expired times.

To be precise, Sigils and runes can wear out.

There are certain sigils that can last for thousands of years but those require a higher attunement and an in depth understanding of them.

It was the super high level incantation.

I have not put my hands on that book yet. It was locked up at the highest security vault of the library room.

Mother gave me the key to that place though, but I am not allowed to read them until I am done with the high level incantation.

Besides, those super high level sigil and runes book are rare and are not easily available. Many sorcerers are in look out of such book and even if one owns it, they are likely to be locked up in a hidden safe place.

It is a treasure of the sorcerer.

Sorcerer will literally fight among themselves to death for the ownership of such super high level incantation as told to me by mother.

There is only one at our Ducal library as well.

"Kairos, I can't wait to get my hand on the book"

I spoke to the inanimate patchwork teddy bear.

I have become accustomed to being alone for so long that I started talking to the teddy bear.

I have these bad habits of talking to myself anyway, but now that this teddy bear is with me, I direct some of my self-talk to it..

"Let's go to the orphanage Kairos"

I mumble.

Consider this as not kindness but just me fulfilling a bit of my childhood dreams.

It is not me being kind or having sympathy.

I did out of convenience and nothing more.
