The Count Family's Young Master
Chapter 41 - Are you here? (2)

"What are your advantages?" ask Valias.

"We're good at using weapons. Our people are blessed with young men of great stature and use several kinds of fighting tools. We are also good at using magic. And we, save something good in treating pain."

Valias nodded in hearing Rama's words. Although it caught the doubt of the last sentence.

Weapon and magic users. Also healers and medicines and healing potions. These are the things that are needed in war. "I'm just asking you to prepare as best you can for the next nine months. Practicing in weapons and magic. The magic I want is protective magic as well as invading magic. But,"

Valias paused his words. Make everyone wait for what the red-haired man will say next.

Valias put on a small smile. "Focus on strengthening the protective magic. You have to protect yourself and those around you in the fight. That, is what I'm asking you guys for."

Everyone in the room was silent at Valias's words. Didn't expect the young man would ask for something so simple.

"Master Valias need not worry. We will give our best for you" said Rama. "In the month of Refuge later, our elves will stand at the very front of the line protecting Hayden as you see fit ."

Refinement Month. It was the month where the spear users would uphold their spears in the first three days of the month of incendiary taking place. Celebrate the day as its name implies. Refraining. It also means spear.

But this year's End of the Month at Hayden, there will be no celebration where the knights will raise spears and eat the food and drink offered to them.

But the day that all of Hayden's destruction and the death of all Hayden's people will begin

But Valias will prevent that. With all the knowledge he had. He will save everyone who should have died.

The Valias Bardev family. And also Kei. "I thank you for borrowing the strength of your people, sir."

Rama shook his head. "Please call me Rama, Lord Valias."

If what Valias said was true, even if he did not obey the young man, his people would fall into the hands of other kingdoms. And he had a hunch that the destiny of his people would be no better than to be the weapon of war of this red-haired youth kingdom.

For now Rama just wants to obey the speech of the teenager. Wishing the man to tell the truth, and to keep his people from bad destiny.

Valias felt he had delivered enough of what he wanted to say. He only wanted the elves to see Frey. Acknowledging the young man as their leader and commanding officer. Valias also only wanted the elves to prepare themselves as best they could.

The rest, Valias will gather even more power.

Because what will be Hayden's main weapon is the teenager.

Valias nodded to himself. I feel enough about what he has said. "It's night now. It's time for you to rest. You too, your Highness Frey."

Valias had also seen the appearance of the future king Hayden. Messy and exhausted. He deserves his rest.

"A-ah."

Frey didn't expect Valias would only ask for such a thing. Frey thought Valias would say more things. Wouldn't they need more power for the war? Is just preparing as well as possible enough?

But in other positions Frey is tired too. Today was hard for him. Take care of the documents, also meet some advisors. Listen to their words. He also prepared himself to carry out his position as king of Hayden.

He felt that tonight's meeting was enough, and it was time for everyone to rest.

Including Valias. Frey could see that the man had fallen asleep before coming to see him. He could see the tired look from the teenager's face. Valias needs to rest.

The big room was quiet. When Valias moves his hand towards his nose. Attracting the attention of Frey as well as the four elves who were in front of him.

"Master Valias?"

Valias covered his nose with one hand. It's got blood coming out of there.

"Master Valias!" Rama stood up from his seat. The two high elves also looked shocked and no longer had their firm posture.

"Master Valias!" Pralta's hand that was previously hidden under the cloak finally came out. Shows a sling bag that is in his hand. A sling bag containing a lila-colored flower.

Pralta took the flower and placed it on both of his palms. Closing his eyes, his mouth was squirting something. Eventually the flower became radiant. Glows out a glow that is the same color as the petals.

He then approached Valias with quick steps and thrust the glowing flower at the young man who was receiving the attention of an old servant and the silver-haired youth who placed his handkerchief under his nose Valias. Forced the man to remove his blood-soaked hand.

Alister's attention was caught on the violet colored flower that was in the female elf's hands. It was a flower that had previously been a suspicion of Valias and himself. Flowers that were not supposed to exist in the Bardev region but instead were suddenly scattered in the city that was previously visited by Valias and his two younger siblings. Why was the flower in the hands of that female elf?

"Mr Valias. Smell this flower."

The elf said. Making Valias who had been down with tired eyes pushed himself to look up to see the woman's face.

It seems like Pralta can tell what Valias is feeling. The young man was dizzy. And his concentration is disturbed. It was Pralta who had to bring the flower closer to Valias' nose.

Frey was confused but she chose to follow the elves' words. He slightly put away the handkerchief that covered Valias' life and let the female elf bring a strange flower closer to Valias.

Valias no longer knows what happened to him. He just had a sudden nosebleed and started to feel dizzy from already losing too much blood. He could only calm himself. And breathe as much as possible. Also inhale the scent of the flower at the same time.

The fragrant aroma calmed Valias down a little. He was able to handle the remains inside his head more easily. Letting the fragrance of the flower lead him in finding peace of self.

Slowly but surely. Nosebleeds on Valias' nose stopped. And the man no longer felt so dizzy.

He felt better and started looking at Pralta who was staring at him. "Miss? What's this flower?"

Pralta looks nervous. "I-This,"

He was confused as to how he should explain. In fact, the flower is something that he should not show to anyone.

Pralta has had concerns since his last meeting with Valias.

He recalled how a silver-haired teenager said that the figure of the recipient of the god's blessing had a disease and had the possibility of dying.

Pralta was very afraid that would happen.

For him, Valias is a figure to be protected, and should not be hurt at all.

Pralta always wanted to give the flower to Valias. But, then he ended up just visiting the town in the Bardev region and planting some flowers of his people for the past two days.

Wishing the flower could be useful to the population under Valias' leadership even though it was not recited by a spell. Using the magic of see-through veil, plant flowers in several plant pots without being noticed by anyone.

Now he's here. Directly with Valias. Already planned to give a flower that had been recited a spell for the young man without the knowledge of Rama.

Who would have thought that Valias would invite the panic of everyone in the meeting first.

"That, is a flower that only grows in our abode, Mr. Valias." Rama replaced his daughter in reply. "The existence of the flower should not be revealed, but," Rama smiled bitterly. "I don't think we have any other choice."

Pralta looked down sad. Still with the glowing flower in his hand. "Sorry, dad."

Valias caught the ban from the remark. So Valias would not mention the fact that there was a possibility that an elf did something he should not have done by planting the flowers in the town of Bardev. "May I know the usefulness of this flower?"

"The flower is an ordinary flower, young master. It has no smell, and no taste. But when it was cast a spell," Rama paused. "The flower can be a sedative. His scent made the one who inhaled him gain calmness and feel better in the sickness he was having."

"Master Valias' nosebleed like that could be stopped just by inhaling the scent of this Xil flower." The elf man continued.

Valias was quite flabbergasted panda that explanation.

I just inhaled a sedative?

He felt that was what had just happened to him.

Valias slowly gained his smile. "Thank you Miss Pralta. Thanks to you I feel better."

Pralta didn't expect that so he was a little aghast.

"Yes. No problem." His courage to answer was finally gathered.

He is not a person who cares about others. He is not good at showing concern for someone.

"This Xil flower that I've been holding, I hope that Mr. Valias will take it."

Pralta once again thrust the flower at Valias. Valias didn't expect Pralta to tell him that. Previously the female elf showed dislike towards her.

In just two days, his attitude instantly changed. Valias was wondering.

Valias smiled faintly. "I'll take it. Thank you, miss."

Pralta closed his lips in embarrassment. Nodding later. Handing over the flower in his hand to Alister who immediately received it enthusiastically.

The old servant saw for the first time a glowing flower.

Really new stuff.

Alister wondered what new things he would see in the future.

"We're worried about disturbing Mr. Valias. So I think it's time we left" Rama said.

Valias nodded. "Yes. Thanks for coming."

The four elves stood on the floor pattern of Frey's room and disappeared from the presence of the three watching people.

"You must rest, your majesty."

Frey who was daydreaming gasped at the sound of Valias.

Then grumbling. "You're the one who should do that. Look atyou. Lookyour clothes. What exactly is wrong with you?"

Valias breathed.

Not my wish either.

"Then it's time for me to say goodbye, your majesty."

Frey looked at Valias for a moment. His eyes were on the young man's face. Realizing that makeup she had not previously realized was being worn by the teenager.

He must look worse than this.

Makeup improves her appearance. But behind the makeup, there must be pale skin ready to say hello.

Frey cursed without a sound. "Let's stay here for tonight. I can't call the mage to send you."

Valias nodded. I can guess that's what happened from the beginning.
