Chapter 14: 14.Daniel got his wife...
I took a brief look at the progress of integrating the soul into the book.
It's still in progress...
Tried taking out the stored fruits ..
No reaction...
Grass!!
I can't use both now. I don't know how long will it take.
"The misunderstandings are over. Luminous, you should accept this stupid guy now. Look at his silly face, others are king of the forest,but he is the shame of the forest."
After spraying Daniel indiscriminately, I left the two lovesick fools without looking back.
Tsk, I got a stepfather....taken in by myself. Can't shift the blame!!!
I walked out from the cave. Evan is sitting by the streamside while his knights are burning the carcasses. The boys are cleaning the preys they caught.
It's harmonious...
I trotted across to Evan cheerfully.
I sat beside him and called my boys with a wave of my hand. The boys come to me obediently.
"Come...I'll introduce you guys. Boys, this is my adopted brother prince Evan Light Lewis. And brother,they are my guardians. The one with cold face is Liam Silverleaf and the one with smiling face is Noah Silverleaf... "
Evan gave a nod and the two boys bow slightly.
"You have the same surnames? "
It's unusual to have the same surnames between the master and servants. He thought they are servants because I said they are my guardians.
"They are not servants. We have the same bloodline. Brother..... Actually, they should call you uncle. They are one generation lower than me."
I didn't draft a lie,I just twist the truth. The boys have helpless looks on their faces. The same bloodline is true and one generation lower than me is also not wrong.
In Evan thought: the same bloodline with same surnames but without middle names = must be royal nephews without inheritance right. They are still trying to protect their aunt even when she is removed from the power center. They are righteous boys.
He has a good impression of the two boys.
"You two can call me Uncle Evan. Treat me like your own uncle... She is your elder ...means I am also your elder. I don't even bring meeting gifts because I don't know your existence. I will give you something good when we arrived in the capital.."
"You don't need to, Your highness. We are not children to expect gifts from elder.."
Noah take on the duty of communication. Even if Evan let them call him 'Uncle', they don't want to. He didn't care about that title but the etiquette shouldn't be forgotten.
Evan is feeling 'unbelievable'.
He got nephews who are the same age as him but they don't want to call him uncle.
" By the way kid, I already told you that I come to fetch you. When will we leave? You promised to come with me,remember? "
I scratched my head. Remember?
Yes,I do. I thought about it in the past years. I just hadn't decided when to leave the forest.
Should go with the flow...
It's not easy to catch the 'dedicated guide' like this one.
" Let me consult with them first.."
I pointed my finger to the cave. We can see the two wolves leaning each other from here.
I wanted to take them with me but I'm sure they won't want to follow me. Luminous won't leave Daniel, and Daniel can't leave his pack.
This stupid alpha is strong but not alert enough to protect her. I hope the sentries in Greyhound pack are better than him. They should combine the two territories when I leave.
"Let talk about that tomorrow. Go make dinner...It will be dark in a while.."
I patted the arms of Liam and Noah.
Then, I asked them to share some meat and fruits with the humans. It's best if they do it together.
We only have original flavor while they carried condiments like salt and pepper.
This dinner is the only meal with flavor I ate after I arrived in this world. Rubbing my rounded stomach, I sighed with emotions.
It's a blessing to eat good meals...
When it's dark, the knight build temporary tents on the flat ground by the streamside. I let my brother sleep in my tree house.
As for me,I want to sleep on a wolf branded mattress. Daniel left temporarily as he need to search suitable gifts for his soon to be mate. Luminous said they decided to perform 'bonding ceremony' in three days.
Crawling on her body, I told her I'll leave after three days. She was sad but she didn't stop me. She know that... for my goal,I can't live here forever.
"I'll always be your mother. I'll wait for you here. Come back when you're tired or.... when you miss me...."
She licked my face to sooth my sadness.
"I'm expecting younger siblings from you..."
She knocked my head with her paw. It's not painful or itchy but I thought I should give her some respect. I closed my eyes to sleep after messing around for a while.
[ Soul integration complete...]
[ The spirit of the Progenitor Book is awaken....]
Hmm...it took hours to complete the integrating process.
[ Hello,master. I'm Veronica... I'm happy to serve you..]
I heard a sweet female voice talking in my conciousness.
I put my hands on my mouth to avoid screaming...
I'm developed.
Is that you system?
[ Hello,Veronica. How can you help me? Can you explain me thoroughly? ]
[ I can help you in many way,master. The database of this book is integrated in my soul. So whatever you want to know about this book's function,I can answer them for you.]
[ Veronica, do you still have your memory?]
[ My memory is cleared by me not to affect my judgment with emotions,master...]
[ Oh....okay. Just treat it like you get a new life. I want to know how long it'll take to use the storage space normally?]
[ It'll be devoured in two hours. However...digestion will take over a month because the energy in the crystal is very pure. You can store the items during digestion but you can't take them out....]
I think I don't have more questions. I'm very sleepy because of my full stomach. I let out a small yawn..
[ Good night, Veronica ]
[ Good night, master....]
I told my decision to my cheap brother in the morning. He was surprised when he heard about 'bonding ceremony 'of wolves. He thought they were just beasts until now.
Thinking of him calling them 'beasts' more than once,he feels guilty.
" I never thought that they are intelligent beings and can be communicated. I should apologize them when they come back from hunting.. "
" During the times you visited me nearly a month, haven't you seen me communicating with them? If they didn't have intelligence like you thought, they won't turned a blind eyes on you when you trepassed their territory. Tsk tsk...you're also not attentive enough...just like that fool Daniel. I wonder how you survive as a prince with all palace fighting dramas of humans??"
Evan didn't reply even though he felt her words were like 'kettle calling the pot black'.In his mind,this child is the loser of palace fight and exiled pitifully.
....
I only have three days to raise funds. In three days, the three of us mother and sons collected precious herbs and fruits frantically.
Don't say a word...
We do look like scavenger....
We even acted like thieves when I put the supplies into the storage space to avoid the humans eyes as I don't want them to know about my storage space.
I also got to know the five elite knights properly.They said they started following the prince officially just a week ago.
Sir Leo Smith - 45 years old, Stern, Brown hair and brown eyes, 6th ring magic warrior (Earth attribute)
Sir George Brown - 52 years old, humorous, Brown hair and blue eyes, 6th ring magic warrior ( Water attribute)
Sir Steven Bennett - 48 years old, short tempered,Red hair and brown eyes, 6th ring magic swordman ( Fire attribute)
Sir Henery Lane - 55 years old, Soft spoken, Black hair and grey eyes, 6th ring magic warrior ( Metal attribute)
Sir James Parker - 49 years old, Polite ,Green hair and black eyes, 6th ring magic warrior ( Wood attribute)
In their words, the Emperor and the prince are monsters amongst them. One reached the 8th ring in his 40s and other reached the 7th ring in his 20s, they are simply not humans..
Reaching the 5th ring in their 40s is something to be proud of....
Reaching the 6th ring in their 40s is what we called genius...
Just take a look at the luxurious line up of 6th rings.....
You can see that they are what we called elite...
And their attributes can be called colourful...all kind of attributes come out..
And there are three occupations___
Mages ,Magic Warriors and Magic Swordman...
After understanding the power system, Veronica update our status windows...

Three days passed by in a flash....
Daniel and Luminous formed a bond with the blessing of Greyhound pack and us. Evan apologized them for calling them 'beast'.After that Luminous moved into the Greyhound pack.
Because I called Luminous 'Mama', Daniel asked me to call him 'Papa' too. I'm disgusted with this stepfather's shamelessness.
We are leaving the forest in the morning. Evan and the knight brought their own horses but we three didn't have one. I take out my guardian beast 'Pegasus'.
Still....we need two more...
I grabbed Daniel's ears..
"Send us near the Darkwood town..Or else your grandchildren have to walk.. "
Under my offenses, Daniel carried Noah.....and Liam was carried by Luminous.
We use mana to create clothes from leaves ...so,we don't need to bring much except our weapons such as bows and arrows...
Simple travel, start with me...
