NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: Light Legion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The strenuous training for her physical ability has been going on for a month... a month has passed since meeting her teachers.
They become close and known for a fact that the rumors floating around the society are not true.
Evelyn was a curious girl; she always asks the things that picked her interest which made her teachers fond of her of how eager she wants to learn new things.
Sir Ivo, who was leaving the room after their magic class has always thought that Evelyn was a nice lady.
'Lady Evelyn is a hard-working lady, I have seen a lot of fast learner and geniuses before but I never saw such a student who can do it in the first try, she seems to know how to quickly grasped situations and come up with a fast solution, she's a true genius without exception. And besides, I feel that her mana increases tremendously in a month, she's hiding her capabilities, is she? hahaha, I found a great gem— a really rare gem!'
As Sir Ivo was walking to leave the mansion and getting into his carriage such thoughts are forming inside his head.
'She also always come up with questions that also makes me wonder how in her small head she can think of that?'
Remembering their discussion quite a few weeks back. Sir Ivo was chuckling on how his student asks the question.
Flashbacks...
"...So the formation of the magic circle is from incantation and your strong mental attribute that will contribute to imagining how strong the visualization of the magic that you'll use— that will give an estimation to how strong the release of your mana that you will give...'
"Sir Ivo... I would like to ask a question"
"Go on..."
"So, by what you said... incantation is just part of the output to release the mana while you imagine how strong the magic release will be...?"
"In that case... we can assume that a long incantation is not necessary as long as you have a strong mental ability to visualize the magic that will be evoked through the conscience mind..."
"In that sense... we can shorten it by using a one-word incantation, and by that, we will have more time to evoke other spells as well as protecting ourselves..."
"Well... that's just my theory."
Evelyn stop the discussion because of the astonished look of Sir Ivo.
"Sir Ivo...?"
The magic professor from the Imperial Palace was astonished to how her student come up with a theory like his...
"Actually..."
"I'm... also currently studying to shorten the incantation spell. As you said, it's convenient to evoke spells with less chant, in that way we can prevent the magicians that will likely be died in a fight, as we are the first target to be killed in the group because of how much we can damage our opponent."
"That being said... it is still a conclusion, as I can't still grasp the theory behind how to release it, it is still hard to prove it. I guess I now have an apprentice that will help me to study this further... right? Lady Evelyn?"
"Uh... ye-yes Sir Ivo."
*End of flashback...
'She's such an interesting person, unlike the rumors that said she's a spoiled young lady. Really, you can't trust what you hear in the noble society.'
In the carriage... a low voice laughing can be heard.
"I can't wait to see the future of the Young Lady of the Emsworth."
——————————————-
The Duke will be going to the North Border of the Kingdom of Levingston where monsters swarm.
As the Military General of the Kingdom, Duke Emsworth lead his army to defend his nation and land.
As the Duke stood at the gate's door of the mansion of Emsworth, behind him is his league of an army that protected the Kingdom from different calamities such as war, bandits, monsters, and invaders.
The light legion, known as the greatest army, that leads the Kingdom of Levingstone to its new heights was under the supervision of the cold Duke.
Many knights were lined up behind the duke, they ride on their horse looking dashing and noble as the white uniform with blue linings across the cotton cloth keeps on swaying by every whisper of the air.
The Duke who wears a white robe that has a lot of medals displayed in his left side indicating his many achievements and a blue stash representing his dukedom looks a prince charming except for riding in his black horse.
His cold demeanor and young looks made every maid in the mansion awe with how good looking the master they serve in this house.
He will be gone for a month, along with his knights, and his oldest child stood in front of him saying his goodbyes and good fortunes while his youngest was nowhere to be found.
It is the first time that only his son came to bid him farewell.
As he searches for Evelyn, the Duke with his extraordinary eyesight found his youngest standing in one of the room's windows in the second floor, with the girls' black hair that only the tip is silver blue, proof of Emsworth descendants is looking at him with nothingness in her eyes — it made the duke perplexed to his youngest child.
As Evelyn is always clinging to him with eyes full of cravings which irritates his whole body whenever he looks at it and now that the young girls' eyes never demand anything from him since her accident, it always made him wonder what the child is thinking now.
He cannot read her anymore.
———-
"Young Miss? Are you not going to bid the Duke goodbye?" Said the busty maid name sheila.
"No"
'There's no benefit on standing there waiting for the duke to speak to me. He's just going to ignore me. Just like always'
"Brother Allan is enough for saying farewells." Evelyn continued.
While looking outside the window, she locked eyes with the Duke, but she shrugged it off as it is too far and she thinks that it's impossible for the Duke to see her.
After the Duke marches his way out of the Dukedom with his army a surged of feeling is rising through Evelyn.
She looks everywhere in her room, finding if her maid is nearby.
And she...
'Kyaahhhh!!! Omg, the duke will be gone for a month. I can go everywhere within the mansion hohoho... No one will ban me from doing everything I want."
' Ohhhh... I know! I'll sneak out. I haven't seen this world with my own eyes! I should go... hohoho'
'I'll wait for tomorrow when everyone's busy and then I'll put my gold coins and silver coins in a bag hohoho... food! I need to eat delicious food hohoho'
A creepy smile painted in the girls' faces. She's too excited to go out in the frustrating mansion that she's staying since her reincarnation.
Evelyn was so happy that she unconsciously did her ceremonial rights whenever a good thing happens, she pumped up both her fist at the air and sway her whole body like the swaying mascot filled with air in the entrance of a newly opened mall.
She was so happy...
