With the last chine in my head. A surge of energy flowed in my body consuming my body whole.
Then all the mana in the surroundings and outside the window came rushing in my body
After some time with a compressed explosion a small shockwave left my body in the room then vanished.
" Hmmm... Now I can manage all the attributes. It's a high jump as I am still gathering mana instinctively." I spoke as I felt the power rushing in me and the increased control over all the attributes.
" Wait, System isn't there any other shop like for some other items ? I spoke as I have read this thing in novels 'that the MC has to ask the system for its other functions. She herself wouldn't tell'.
" Yes, There is host. 'Love Shop' for items relating 'You know' that." The system spoke her voice filled with mischief.
" It will cost 50 S.P. Should I open it ?" The system asked.
Before I could ask a knock was heard on the door. " Remind me later." I spoke.
As I moved my head by side.I saw her face glowing in the dim lights coming through the curtains.
I kissed her forehead. " Rest well." She gave a small smile.
I put on some clothes as I moved and opened the door. There stood the buttler. He didn't seem surprised by the scene infront of hm.
" Young lord, His Majesty is arriving soon."
" Okay. I will be there shortly". The Buttler waited before he spoke.
" Should we elect a New Head Maid ?"
" Hmm... Ask her when she wakes up". I spoke as I looked at her sleeping figure.
With that I took a bath and put on my royal attire which I don't quite like because it's not too comfortable.
...
Outside the castle a grand carriage with four horses fully decorated and shining brightly came.
From which a man with white hair, lean built wearing royal attire came out. ' Reus Rindel '.
" It's the same as before but the surroundings have changed". He spoke as he moved forward.
His steps came at halt when he saw an extremely handsome man standing in front of him.
" Greetings, Your Majesty". I spoke moving forward.
Oh? He got a bit surprised as I didn't bow like before. He spoke as his eyes scanned me. " How is your health now, Young Lord of The Skyster family".
" I'm fine now, Your Majesty. And please just call me Dian". I spoke as I welcomed him in the castle.
...
Once inside, The king sat on the couch standing beside him his personal guard. I sat on opposite side. The Buttler standing beside me.
" Oh? You even awakened ?" Reus spoke as the maid served some drinks.
" Yes, after I got better." I didn't speak much just answered the question.
" So, Are you planning for joining the Academy?" Reus asked his voice casual.
" I haven't thought much about it right now but maybe after some." I answered him in the same casual tone.
" If you need anything just tell me, Okay. Don't hesitate. I can't bring them back but I will do my utmost to help you." Reus spoke his voice carring sadness this time.
" If I needed something. I will definitely ask. Thank you, Your Majesty." I spoke my voice too carring some sadness.
After some talking and asking for things that not much matterd. The king took his leave.
...
" Buttler". I spoke as I stood outside the castle. The Buttler simply bowed.
" Prepare a list of all the lords who are making excuses and giving less revenue each year."
" Yes Young Lord, It will be ready."
Our conversation paused as a voice was heard. " Y-young Lord."
