Knights, Magic, and Technology
chapter 14's

marina returned the arcane embrace, she could feel that her embrace was sincere, gentle and warm.

marina felt that the child in front of her was someone who the world was too harsh on her and she treated herself so hard.

actually, the marina also knows about the nature of arcane, but this hug makes her realize that the child she hugs only needs someone who helps her a little.

no need for too much, though, he considered that when arcane fell into the abyss he only needed a rope from someone no matter if it was good or bad then he could survive and get stronger that's what the marina felt.

after hugging for a moment Arcane realized that it was time for dinner, and he had to prepare he immediately took 5 books from the library and brought a book back.

not forgetting he bowed respectfully to the marina.

"thank you grandma, before I go home I'll give it back"

marina nodded and let arcane go, when it came out she also passed her grandfather who was about to enter.

but without a salute of respect or any arcane immediately darted away from the library.

"you!.. arc!... "

blast seemed annoyed at arcane's brazen behavior, while marina chuckled because she felt her thoughts were correct.

no one respects or acknowledges arcane and in fact he himself almost never met directly with his grandson that one, on that basis he tried to give a little help and his thinking was right.

"why are you smiling like that"

the blast that had now been in front of the marina looked puzzled.

"well, 'cause I realized something about the kid"

marina replied and turned to finish the book that arcane read, and she was also surprised because the book that arcane read could only be understood by an expert in that field.

"what do you mean? "

blast is still confused by his wife's behavior.

marina was still arranging the book and she realized that arcane could encapsulate the books and make them simpler, that means he already understands what he is reading and can explain in his own way.

"well, just helping a neglected genius"

_______________________________________________________

dinner arrived, in the palace dining room there is a large table in the shape of a rectangle.

from the side there are chairs lined up as many as 20 pieces and there is also one chair at each end of the table.

there was Elisabeth and Selena, besides them there was also Maria queen 1 with her son eliana the 2nd princess, and adam the 4th prince, and there was also Maria the 1st queen with her son, there was also Lina the 2nd queen with her son the 5th frost prince

they sit from the left with the queens and princesses sitting on the left in order and so do the princes, and at the end of the table is empty because it is where the king sits.

however at the table the princes of the 1st and 2nd princes were focusing on doing their studies in the Academy and it seemed like they were doing a mission from the academy with their teacher.

in addition, the princes sat starting from adam instead of arcane, they all knew that arcane came but adam deliberately sat near the king, he did it deliberately and no one rebuked him.

a moment later arcane came to see them all sitting in their respective places arcane immediately took the most distant place as in his residence and immediately opened his book and began to record some things.

seeing that everything in the room became a little furious and began to quip.

"coming without excuse, and not saying hello, have you lost your temper? "

Lina spoke so loudly that they all heard her even the servants.

"don't waste energy on her mom, we all know she's a wild kid"

frost added, both mother and child did not like Elisabeth and her child so when there was a chance they would always menjelankan arcane.

"oh look, does he now start reading to try to curry favor with you?

adan now also mocked arcane.

"forget it, at best it's a children's story, so he can show how smart he is now"

reply frost.

with all the insinuations that arcane just silent and focused, he did not care about all the words that led to him, and finally Marry also came along.

"it looks like he's deaf, too, so don't waste your energy"

they all nodded but Elisabeth and Selena just kept quiet quietly, they chose silence because now either defending or oppressing arcane is useless.

the atmosphere happened for some time and the racane was like being in a different dimension on the same ship, not considered and ignored by everyone.

then what they were waiting for finally arrived, the king had come James with an aura of wisdom and decisiveness coming, they all stood up and saluted while the servants there bowed respectfully.

James looked around and nodded, but he looked into the corner and found that arcane was not standing and was still sitting and copying.

the king saw the arcane and saw the pile of paper there quite a lot so he thought that arcane was undergoing punishment to copy some books.

"arcane why don't you salute"

James said firmly, while arcane glanced over and found James there.

he immediately stood up and gave a short salute, but then he immediately refocused by learning without caring about everyone who was surprised by the arcane behavior.

the king approached the arcane but Frost immediately said to James.

"dad, don't mind him, he seems to be learning but it seems like it's just to get your attention"

James was a little surprised and thought

'not punishment but he took the initiative to learn? , will the snow fall in the summer? "

but remembering with arcane behavior that so upset and embarrassed he finally sat down to his place and blamed the servants to prepare the table.

during that time the king also made small talk to them.

"so how do you train"

in the spirit of selena answered

"i managed to climb to father's yellow level"

adam and frost.

"i'm almost at yellow level too"

"i've also reached father green level"

then James turned his gaze to Eliana and asked.

"then what about you, Eliana? "

Eliana is a slightly quiet and calm woman she is actually also a jolly child if her mood is good but calm and reserved is her basic nature.

"i'm still in dad's orange"

"good you guys are so talented"

James is very proud and satisfied because they did not disappoint, because at a young age they can reach that level and promise in the future.

James then glanced at arcane who was still focused on writing, as he was about to speak the servants came and brought food, it made him undo his intentions.
