A normal day, I think?
This morning was a disaster. I mean, everything was going fine until Aegis asked me that odd question. That made me so angry that I passed out. Fortunately, she stopped my mana from rampaging. I took a good rest. Had some soup that Amaryllis made for me. I didn't know she could cook."You can actually cook?" "Why do you look so flabbergasted? Is it weird for me to cook? I can cook. To a decent level at that." (Amaryllis)"That saves me. I mean, in this party, only I can cook. Hazel and Aura can't cook. It was a disaster. Fay can cook. It's just that, she is lazy. Can you two cook?" I looked at Aera and Aegis. "As we both are connected to you master, we do know everything you know about cooking. But, we aren't used to the actual work yet." (Aera)"So, all theory and no practice. I guess, you two need to get some practice in. You can't always rely on me." "Master, as long as you supply us with SPIRIT, we are immortal. And when the supply stops, we will revert back to our dormant we
My fears
(Trevor POV)I was always told that I have a lot of responsibilities. As the eldest son of the McCarthy family, I had been born with various duties. McCarthy family was a prestigious family. Our roots go way back. We had a recorded history of more than 28 generations. Being born into the McCarthy household was out of my hands. I could only live my life like that.My parents weren't exactly too strict. My father was rather easygoing. He said, "If you don't feel like it, then don't." However, I was pretty stubborn. I hate to admit it myself but I am stubborn.I did everything I was required to do. I attended various lessons from a young age. I was being educated to inherit our family. Our family was a happy one. If not for the McCarthy name, we would have been the same as any other families. I have an older sibling. She is my sister who is a year older than me. I can't exactly put it to words but she has been very protective of me.Our mother often used say that she was my mother ra
Am I getting jealous?
After that little scene in front of the castle lake, we both came back to the fountain and took a seat. Aegis isn't that bothered by it. However, why was I so angry? It isn't like me."Master, you were really cool back then. I thought you would just ignore them." (Aegis)"I was planning on doing that. But when I noticed how he was looking at you, something happened to me. I just wanted to torment him. I think I let him off too lightly." "Hmm…so master got angry because that pig was looking at me lustfully." (Aegis)I look at Aegis. She has a smirk on her face like she is teasing me. When did she become such a little imp? "I don't know. However, his looks towards you made me really angry. I seriously wanted to send him somewhere far worse than hell." "Then what would you have if it was Eden?" (Aegis)When she finished that sentence, it actually took me a moment to process. She is asking me what I would do if someone gave Eden a similar look! My mind went blank. All I could think o
An unpleasant experience
We are taking a breather at what might be the central of this area. A fountain is spewing water all the time. People are here, talking to each other or just walking. Some are praying to the fountain and tossing in coins.There are benches by the roadside. We sit on one such bench. It's morning. The sun isn't too hot yet. The sunshine feels good for that reason. Let's bask in the sunshine. The body needs its share of vitamin D as well.Wait, speaking of biology, how does Aegis's body work? I never asked her. This question suddenly arose."Aegis, give me your hand." She was a bit puzzled but she gave me her right hand. I hold her wrist and try to feel her pulse. It pulsating. Her veins are pulsating. I send some SPIRIT inside of her body to get an idea of what's inside. It's basically a human body. No abnormalities whatsoever. So I assume both Aegis and Aera are mimicking a human body. They can pass for a human. I can't see any abnormalities and things that might suggest otherwise.
A merchant’s instinct
(Montana Pablo's POV)From the moment I was born, my fate had been sealed. I was to marry someone from an influential family and let him inherit our family business.I was raised as a perfect doll. Good at everything. My family was a family of wealthy merchants. My father followed suit and became a merchant as well. However, I was born.No woman in my family were made to be successors to the business. But my mother died while I was young. Everyone urged my father to remarry. But he didn't. He loved my mother with his everything. That's why, he would never remarry. Instead, he decided to raise me as the perfect woman.Then someone from an influential family will marry me and inherit our family business. I had no problems with that. Because I had someone I loved who falls into the same category.Alec Pablo was his name. I don't know when exactly I fell in love with him. I think it was during our academy days.We promised each other that we would get married. My father had no problems w
First shopping date with Aegis
This isn't too early in the morning. Every shop is open for business. I see a row of shops. Different shops with different atmospheres. The right lane has a few large buildings. There are some multi storied buildings as well. I can read the signs. Some say mercantile houses and some are private shops.So business merchants have entire buildings dedicated for sales. I decided to go into the quieter one.Aegis is with me arm in arm. She isn't letting go of my right arm and is squeezing it tight enough for it to show symptoms of blood deficiency.My blood flow would have stopped if I hadn't reinforced my arm and increased my blood pressure. But I am not gonna tell her off. She is in a good mood. I think this is the happiest I have seen her so far. "Aegis, how about we go in that shop?" "Let's. It seems like they have some good things to sell." (Aegis)The shop sign says Pablo's General Store. A general store? They are owned by merchants anyway.Upon entering, I found one person. She i
