Everyday I received a regulation magic from Lucian, and he continued his research. I went to the emperor's study room for 2 hours every single day, he questioned me from 3 questions a day to 5 to 10 and now 50 questions, that we reach about 3 to 4 hours a day but I don't mind. If this was the future then I can imagine him being a demon professor in a college institution but I don't have any problems with his crazy devilish questions. Daisy always prepares me everyday with good dresses, practice outfits, tea, food and not to mention those tasty desserts. Carl loves his job protecting me but I know that he loves spending his time with me because he doesn't want to be beside the emperor who has a very nasty temper. I also acquired another friend and he is considered as a genius swordsman, I heard that he is talented and was a son of a prominent figure in the noble society.
"Teacher! You should watch your foot works. I can see a lot of openings" I told him as I continue to charge against him while practicing the flow of mana to regulate my body.
"Ha! You've become quite good after 8 years, your highness" he said with a grin seen on his face.
"You already know that I was great after I mastered your mana training at the age of 6. You know that right? I was just getting easy on my master" I said as I continued attacking and not letting him think of his next move.
"Indeed your highness. I guess you're really a genius of the century" he praised "but don't you think that practicing with real swords is a bit dangerous at the age of 7?" he recalled and I just smiled.
"I guess I am the daughter of Ignatius. That nasty being who gave me a great body with a indispensably great mana" I said.
"Your highness… It's been hours and you need to go to the emperor" Daisy said.
With the mana training and the aura training that Carl was teaching me, all my senses greatly increased. I think I am not a human anymore but I became a SUPER SUPERhuman because of these skills. My strength, hearing, eyesight, and everything increased a thousand fold.
I am amazed with Ignatius' genes for real.
"I think we should end here for now" I said and I saw Lucian's eyes widen as the scene of his sword flying and a sword pointed at his throat ended immediately.
"Don't tell me that you were going easy on me for 5 years, your highness?" he asked as I love the dumbfounded look on his face.
I flipped my hair and look back at him with a smile. "I did no such thing master" I said and head to Daisy who offered me a juice and a towel.
"Thank you Daisy" I said and gave her a hug.
I heard a name from the back. He said it with so much affection that it made my heart skip a bit but I refuse to believe that name can be said with so much affection.
"Your highness" someone called as he was walking towards me.
"Oh? Theo~ you're here?" I said as I approached him.
"What do you think of having a spar with me after meeting his majesty?" he asked me with a very happy expression.
"Hmm.. I think I have time to spare if he will not ask me too much questions later. I can have a spar with you if you can wait for me?" I said and he grab my hand, he kissed it. It made me flinch.
"Then I will wait for how long it takes" he said with his wide smile.
I still am not used with this greeting. It is making me feel that I too am a lady.
Theo or also known as Henry Theodore Mebronnette was the heir of the Mebronnette duchy. I heard that the Duke was Ignatius' closest friend besides the archmage. I just don't know how their friendship fell. Theo was considered as a jewel of the society since he was a child because of his beautiful looks. Duke Mebronnette was also a distinguishable figure because of the war that happened 20 years ago which was called as the bloody war of roses where he was standing side by side with Ignatius in a field of white roses covered with blood of the enemy and their soldiers. I heard about it but Ignatius never let me hold on to that book in his study room. I just heard the story from Carl.
I heard that the war was caused by the Normideus empire which has a greater number of landmass and soldiers than us but they fought a battle that is of our great disadvantage but surprisingly we won that war. Carl described the battlefield to be beautiful because the field was purely composed of white flowers and was so pure but after the war horns were blown the pure fields were immediately tainted with blood in an instant. He did not continue the story and I understand his pain by just describing it.
We reached Ignatius' study room and they let me in as usual.
"Greetings to the sun of the empire, May you grace us with your light everlasting" I said with a proper etiquette.
"Tch! I know that you are cursing me in that small head of yours so drop the act" he said while he was looking at a paper and he is so nonchalant that it is making the nerves in my head burst.
"Your Majesty, the rodent wish to stand properly and you will cut my head if you wouldn't put me at ease" I said while I kept my head down and continue cursing him in my head.
"Tch! Okay so… Question #1, What is the difference of magic to that of an aura?" he asked and I head to his shelf.
"You already asked me that question a month ago, your majesty" I said with a very calm voice.
"It seems like you've already forgotten" I told him as a sign of mockery but he didn't take it into account.
"Hmmm... Then... How about let's try" he said as I heard him preparing something big as I heard the flapping papers and a lot of noise because he was dropping a lot of things on the floor.
"Come on" he called and I sighed as I turned around to face him. I was curious as I saw a very wide piece of paper on his table and it seems like it is very old.
"What's that?" I said as I ran to his side and I didn't mind our body touching each other and we were very close. I was so focused on the paper which seems like a map.
"What do you think?" he said as he shrugged his shoulder.
"Hmm… seems like a map but it has a lot of marks in it" I said and the map is making me imagine the real image like I was in the map itself.
"I guess this is a war plan? Strategy?" I told him and when I looked at him he flinched for a bit.
"You are too brilliant at your age" he murmured but I pretended not to hear him because he might loose his high and mighty honor.
