Chapter 16: 16.She looked like human but.......
After despising the mortal butler for a minute, we were guided to our rooms.
I wanted to take a bath first to wash away the dust.
There were two maids waiting for me to order around in my designated room.
Sorry for dissing you... brother..
But without two rows of maids to greet as soon as you get down the carriage.... you are not impressive..
My room had the charateristic of barbie...pink all over the room!!!
Sure,I love the materials they were made of...
But facing the room full of pink made me despised the mortal butler again...
Seriously, I prefered red or gold...
The bathroom was big enough for me to play wildly.With the help of the maids,the bathing experience is very smooth.
There are readymade dresses for me to choose....I picked the green dress to wear for today dinner.
I must let the butler make a few red and black dresses. The soft color dresses didn't fit my aesthetic point...
Only the darker colors can make me shine...
I let the maids leave after the bath.
The room had big space enough for a big bed, a table and two couches to accept guests. I sat on the big bed.....
I needed to listen what Veronica had to say.
[ You can report now. ]
[ The occupation of Liam Silverleaf and Noah Silverleaf had been filled...]
The updated words appeared before my eyes.
Liam Silverleaf [direct descendant]
...
Occupation: Nature's Archer
Noah Silverleaf [direct descendant]
....
Occupation: Healer
So....the occupation slot will be filled only when we assigned the jobs??
[ The suitable gears for the corresponding occupation are issued..... ]
Two sets of clothes,a set of well crafted bow and arrows.... and a healing staff appeared on the bed.
I examined the gears first...The staff's main body was made of silver white material and it was coiled around by green vines with small green leaves until the top. The top of the staff was decorated with exquisite silver white leaf.
The bow,quiver and arrows were also made of with the same materials. I could tell with a glance that...these gears are from the same series...
I could see how crappy my crafts are now....
What a loss!!!
If I knew it earlier, I didn't need to show off my pitiful craftsmanship.
After the gears, I stretched my sinful hands toward the two sets of clothes.
One suit for archer and one suit for healer.... with cloaks...
The main color of the fabric was green and there was decorative leaves pattern with silver color. The buttons and belts are also silver white.
The differences between the two suits were....
The archer's had narrow sleeves and it looked like close fitting soft armor. The cloak was green with a silver white collar and rims.
The healer's had wide sleeves.... the whole set was loose and flowing in comfortable style. The cloak was also green but it had extra hood with silver rims...
I found magic circles inside the clothes...
[ Veronica, what are these magic circles for? ]
[ Water proof, fire proof, dust free and self cleaning magic circles, master....]
That shit is outrageous....
I'm starting to get jelous of the boys...
My occupation was already filled from the very start but where exactly was my gears????
Why was I being discriminated against when I was the head of this family?
[ Veronica, come out. Where are my gears? Don't tell me there aren't any..]
[ You already have the crown, master. The rest ...you'll get it after replenishing that drop of vitality you lost while healing... ]
Oh...that drop of vitality..
[ How can I replenish it?]
[ Cultivating normally or absorbing wood attribute magic stones...You don't have to anxious, master. You'll get it after the space crystal is digested...]
I need to wait three more weeks...
Looking at the equipments and clothes....I sighed..
'Well...I should give them now...'
Can't let them wear leaves all the time...
I rang the bell they put on the bedside table to call the maids. I ordered the incoming maid to call the boys... to my room.
They arrived within five minutes.
"Mother..."
They greeted me like singing chorus..
"Hmm, Here...Gifts...for you.."
I gave them the clothes and equipments according to their occupation.
"Don't look down on these clothes because there is only one suit for each of you. There are water proof,fire proof, dust free and self cleaning magic circles on it. So..you don't need to wash the clothes. The suits are for wearing everyday. Add the cloaks when we need to go outside or formal gatherings..."
The fabric type used to make the cloaks was liked silk and velvet. It looked very grand and screaming 'I am rich'. The quality was nearly surpassed the fabrics Evan used for his clothes.
"Where are your rooms? You are eating and sleeping with a group of knights along the road. Do you want to live in barracks with the knights?"
Liam replied...
"No..mother. Our rooms are just beside you. We won't live in barrack. We can't live too far from you. We are your Guardians now."
"Haha..."
I confiscated their old weapons and dismissed them after that. No way...my crafts was very shameful to compare with the new ones.
It was tiring trip for me...I was alone in the room now...so, I decided to take a nap before dinner.
It was not physical feeling but mental one..As soon as my head met the pillow, I fell into the sweet dream land.
*******
Evan was called by the Emperor without delay... in a hour after he arrived his mansion.
Despite his unwillingness to move today, he couldn't reject the Emperor's summoning..
'Ah...I'm tired..'
This time, the meeting place was not the Emperor's bedroom. The secretary of the Emperor led him to the drawing room.
The Emperor is waiting with a cup of tea, sitting leisurely on a couch.
"Greeting, You Majesty.. "
He bowed..
"I said you don't need to bow ....you won't listen to your brother...Hmm? Come and sit.."
"Thank you, your Majesty.. "
Won't you get angry if I really did that? Evan rolled his eyes internally. It should be fine at first before you get used to the Emperor's authority. But what about later...
Can you really safeguard our brotherhood? Evan decided to believe his elder brother.
Anyway....he wasn't a threat to his brother's throne. Now that there were only two brothers left in the Royal family, being too timid would lead to alienation between brothers.
Evan sat on the opposite couch of Emperor and waited for the Emperor to speak.
"Sebastian... make new pot of tea.."
The Emperor put down the empty tea cup...
" Won't you report me about your little trip?.."
'It's the same if I report you tomorrow... As for what?'
Even if he was complaining in his heart, he couldn't say it outright...
"Nothing wrong.. I just went there to take her back... That's it."
"Tell me about her.."
Evan furrowed his brows in disapproval...
" She is just a child.."
"Tsk...A child that can charm the Priest of Light. Have you forgotten about the long-lived species? We can't rule out the idea of 'She can be an old witch with very long lifespan'...You know?"
Evan suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard his brother's theory of Gloria being a witch.
She won't be happy..Hahahaha...
"It's her magic attribute that attracted me..."
"What do you mean?"
Raising his eyebrow, the Emperor questioned him again..
" I meant it. She was a healer. An advanced healer....with the combination of wood and healing magic attributes.Strange.. Isn't it?"
"If you say she is good, she maybe really good.."
"She saved the dying wolf. I saw it with my own eyes. Do you know? Even the advanced healing potions I took from the temple could do nothing but extending the life for a few days. However, after she healed it, that wolf was as good as a new one..."
The Emperor listened with interest..
" I was there when she was healing.... Therefore, I analyzed her healing power. Her power was the combination of wood and healing power. The endless vitality of wood played very important role in healing. "
"So...you wanted to say, you're interested in her power..?"
"No"
Evan shaked his head...
"Your power is 'Purification'....But my power is 'Sunlight'...and her power is 'Vitality ' or perhaps 'Plant'. The plant absorbed the sunlight to live. Brother....I didn't know it before...now I know.."
"How old is she?"
The emperor asked with uncertainty...
" Haven't asked....Around eight or nine? But she was very small. If we compared her with our standard, she looked like five years old..."
The Emperor was the man who had seen the world but the words coming out from his younger brother's mouth make his face blank for a while.
"Hey!!! Brother, what is that look on your face? "
"Nothing..."
The Emperor faked a cough and drank a sip of tea.
"Go on..."
"Her name is Gloria Avery Silverleaf. She have two guards with her.."
"Royal family??"
Evan nodded. And told the Emperor about his assumptions about her conditions.
It's the Emperor's turn to forrow his brows. He knew she was from the Royal family just by hearing her name.
The nobels and commoners both have given names and surnames. The nobel's names have two words and the commer's names also have two.
However, the Royals are different.
They have extra middle names. The middle names are given by the gods or bloodlines. Having middle names meant.....having the power given by gods or given by the bloodlines.
That was the real reason about the fallen Royals were treated better than the powerful nobels.
The Emperor could ignore her if she was just a nobel or commoner. But he can't ignore her with her unique background.
"Like you said before Evan....Etiquette can't be forgotten.
Huh...."
It would be fine if he didn't know but he can't neglect her now. He called his butler and ordered him to choose four maids and twenty elite guards.... to send out as a host.
This was the proper care he should show as an Emperor to another Royal.
"Bring her to me to greet properly.."
He dismissed him after that...
Evan agreed to the quest he gave. He stands up and bows before leaving.
"Your Majesty... Don't be surprised when you meet her..."
"Just spill it...."
"She looked like human....but...she wasn't human.."
He left in a hurry without looking back after he said these words, showing his back.
The Emperor wanted to beat his brother now....
That bastard, it's the same as saying but not saying it.....
