The Land of Freedom's
Chapter 9: The flame
On a clear day, the morning sun shone on a prince's face through the window of the room, slowly opening his eyelids, revealing a blinding blurry look.
In a semi-conscious state, Misha went down from her sleeping mattress, then staggered with eye dirt that was still attached to the corner of her eye.
Misha's hand touched the bathroom doorknob, opened it with her weak power and approached a ceramic sink with a hanging mirror.
Misha looked at her disheveled face behind the mirror, her disheveled hair, her heavy eyes, her faded clown makeup, and her foul breath floating in the air.
Unable to see himself, he opened the water tap from the sink, popped a shower of water from an iron pipe and washed his face repeatedly.
Just as Misha was about to leave the bathroom, she opened the door and was shocked to see the presence of Sebas and the other servants suddenly standing before her.
"Prince– you should not do something like this, later we serve you well." Said Anna, instantly holding Misha's shoulder.
Anna took Misha to sit in front of the makeup mirror, cleaned her face with a wet cloth then started to apply makeup on the little prince with an anxious feeling towards her.
...hah~ again this garish makeup....
...Annoyed Misha in her mind....
.................
She was annoyed by the embarrassing makeup that had to be put on her face at all times, but she could not refuse not to wear it, in order to avoid the suspicious feelings of those around her.
After his face turned back into a clown, then acted like a girl, that moment a huge shame was contained in his heart. Misha briefly looked at the faces of the servants with a cold look, a moment later she immediately changed her eyes to a fake smile.
When Misha was finished in makeup by the four servant women, she immediately walked up to Sebas and said, "Free? take me around the palace, I'd love to get some fresh air." Showing a silly face.
"Understand young master." Reply Sebas, down.
Sebas and Misha opened the door and went out of the room, walking in the middle of a giant hallway where a red carpet was laid out along the hallway.
Anna, Tasya, Vienna and Galina. It was the name of the four little prince's personal servants.they came out of the room, looking at Sebas and Misha from behind with a cynical look, a sense of annoyance clearly visible on the faces of the four of them.
"I hate serving that pathetic boy!" Winna complains with a growling face.
"We have to keep him, this is an order." Anna said, annoyance on her face.
"But Anna, we've been watching her for three years! isn't it time for us to be released?!" Cut the Vienna that also feels upset.
"We must be patient! the archbishop's prophecy is never wrong!" Snapped Anna, with a pressing tone.
"do you think the prophecy was on that disgusting boy? huh..?! the prophecy must have been with the other descendants of the emperor, which was more normal than this sil*n boy!" galina said, in a disdainful manner.
"But-isn't this better? if Misha isn't the one who predicted, then we shouldn't bother. right?" Sela Winna, with a plain face.
When Winna said her sentence, she was stared at by four eyeballs that gave off a gripping aura, except for two pairs of eyes from Tasya, who was always silent without showing his expression.
"Hah~ forget." Galina continued, horrified by Anna and Winna's gaze.
...******...
When Misha and Sebas were seen far from the sight of the four ministries, Misha was able to stare at them from a distance.
"Free, can you get rid of them for me?" Misha said with a cold face.
"What– does... does that mean what's with them young master?" Sebas asked back, who was shocked at the prince's statement.
"Hah~ Don't tell me you can't do it, right?" misha said, the corner of her mouth smiling.
"Free, in essence do what I say." ordered Misha with a flat face.
"Aren't you used to doing this kind of work?" Misha continued, then smiled cunningly.
Hearing the words coming out of his old mouth, Sebas felt a sense of indecision. The servants who had been accompanying him to take care of the little prince instead had to be removed at the prince's own behest.
"Remember my words, never doubt myself. Believe me!" misha said, clapping her hands open with a wide smile that looked sincere.
Seeing Misha Sebas' sincere smile immediately touched, she felt guilty for questioning her actions. He gathered a lot of determination for the sake of his old wish.
"Am I going to get rid of them right now as well young master..?" sebas asked, putting on a cold face while looking back.
"No, not now, just investigate first, but later. For now you have to accompany me for a walk first" said Misha who put up her sneaky grin.
"Alright young master."
..........
"Where are we going, young master, by the way?" Sebas asked, curious.
"As for you, I'm just filling my free time" Misha said in a relaxed tone.
...Of course, looking for information....
...Information is a bullet, while my mouth has a rifle....
...without any information, I was just a helpless weak boy....
...Inner Misha, with all her plans....
"Hmm... Then what about the magic academy?" Advice Sebas, who is excited.
...Magic ya~...
...you're up Sebas, whether it's true or not, I'll pretend to be surprised....
...haha......
...Inwardly, rejecting reason about magic....
Sebas and Misha continued to walk between the halls of the palace. While on the way, they met various kinds of people who looked at the prince with cynical gazes, as they were, from a soldier on guard to a circle of nobles passing through him without the slightest respect.
The two of them walked over and continued walking until they exited the small door of the palace, and found an open space so vast with a beautiful scenery, in a place filled with many plants, and a large amount of water, fish ponds and roads made from a neat arrangement of stone blocks.
Regardless of the cynical look of the people, Misha's eyes went everywhere, looking in all directions in amazement.
Step by step they passed until they reached a large building that was amazingly magnificent. A castle filled with children of the same age as her, wearing red uniforms and white subordinates.
...It seems like they are students of this academy....
...It is very important to know what science well, they will learn....
...Inner Misha, impatient....
"Free, can I see the learning process in class?" misha asked, who was very excited.
"Of course young master! however, do you have no problem with the insults they show through their gazes." Sebas, Worry.
"What did you say? someday I'll cut both their eyes out." Misha said, with a horrible smile.
"Hah~ well young master." Reply Sebas, who was not in thought.
"Right now the lesson is already underway, I will try to speak to a teacher of my acquaintance." Sebas was clearly smiling.
.............
When the door of the class opened, all the people's eyes were on Misha. Insinuations, scorn and insults were painted from the eyes of the people, including the sharp gaze of the teacher.
"Oh Mr Sebas! long time no see! welcome to my class." Greet a teacher with a big smile.
The teacher approached Sebas, shook his hand and said, "Haha~ What is the need for a gentleman like you to visit my mediocre class?" There was ridicule on his face.
"For a long time did not meet Mr. Danilo. It's not really that important, I'm just accompanying the prince for a walk." Reply Sebas with a forced smile, holding back his anger over the disrespectful behavior of the teacher named Danilo.
"Haha.. turns out there are princes too yah! forgive me for not realizing your presence." Danilo's cynical remarks, while putting on a condescending expression.
"Then please sit in the chair you want young master." Danilo said with the same face.
"Thank you teacher!" Misha replies, putting on a fake smile that looks stupid.
...You outcast! why did Sebas take her to my class......
...actually I don't want to get geta from above, it's just......
...Sebas! ahh....! if it wasn't for him, I would have driven this boy all the way from here! just smudge....
...Teacher Danilo was upset from inside his mind....
Without a second thought Misha ran between the study benches, displaying a feminine face that caused disgust from the students of the academy.
Like most humans, there are only those who have clean hearts how angels. A beautiful little girl was seen sliding her body, her hands clapping the chair, allowing the prince to sit next to her.
Seeing the actions of the little girl, Misha subconsciously changed her facial expression into a warm smile for two seconds. Unexpectedly the smile even made the little girl fester for a moment, her face flushed with a look full of shame.
...Good girl, someday you will be given her a place in my future regime!...
...Misha's mind was touched....
"What's your name, beautiful girl?" Misha asked in a feminine tone.
"My name– Uh... Yalfa's." Answer the little girl, shy cat.
"If I'm Misha, greet Yalfa. I wish we could be friends." Misha said and smiled sincerely.
Seeing the sweet smile shown by the prince, Yalfa's heart was touched again, his heart was racing, nervousness was lining his face.
...............
"Hey... Isn't that him?"
"Who...? I don't know."
"The useless prince was a loh, which not even the emperor himself recognized."
"Have you figured it out, he said he couldn't bring out magic energy! embarrassing right?!"
"hahaha~ looks at him, but he's a boy but behaves like a girl!"
The barrage of whispering voices of the people who continued to scorn Misha nonstop.
"Not mind them!" Whisper Yalfa to the prince, while putting on an annoyed expression.
..................
"Good class is about to start! since there is a 'noble fourth prince' here then we will learn a special lesson! that is, a magic spell!" Danilo said with a pressing tone when calling the name of the fourth prince.
Hearing the explanation from their teacher, the students immediately rejoiced because of the new learning they would get.
"Isn't that okay, Mr. Sebas?" Danilo asked, looking at Sebas with a sly smile.
"Please do as you please Danilo." Said Sebas, returning his sneaky smile.
...Magic circle?...
...I repeatedly heard the phrase magic....
...is it really magic told in a child's fairy tale? will it appear?...
...wait first......
...I really doubt this....
...Misha said in her heart, as if she did not believe Danilo's words....
"Well, I'll explain the theory first. As you guys my genius disciples already know." Danilo said, insinuating the prince.
"Sad..!" Lirih Misha, upset about the insinuation.
"Magic is natural energy with a super small size. This energy hovers in the air, invisible to the human senses but perceptible to us, this shard of magic is called 'Mana'." Obviously Danilo was enthusiastic.
...Hoho's... Look at that face!...
...Misha's mind is watching Danilo....
Misha is amazed by the way Danilo explains his subject matter, despite his poor attitude, making Misha a little annoyed at him. However, the excited face that Danilo showed was the face of someone who was crazy for knowledge.
"Remember the previous meeting? I once explained about the history of which energy, related there are new guests here will be explained again," Staring at the prince cynically, "in ancient times lost, exactly three thousand years ago. The gods descend upon the earth to protect mankind from the onslaught of evil demons. The noble god Astrana passed down his power to the descendants of the hero who sacrificed himself to protect mankind, the blood of the god continues to flow until today. Yep! right, the nobles are the blood heirs of the god Astrana." Obviously Danilo, at length.
"From that god's blood, we can draw 'where' into our bodies, pulling it up to bring out an incredible force, like this!" continue Danilo, spread out one hand and say a few words.
"O Fire, Come!" Said Danilo, who suddenly let out a fire from his hand.
The burst...! The sound of flames burning in the air.
...what the hell is that?! wait up!...
...Fire.... just come out of his hand?! impossibly......
...Inner Misha, her mind was filled with great doubt....
Misha saw the flame clearly, her eyes bulging, her forehead raised, her body suddenly filled with cold sweat, her heart beating randomly, trembling, fear, astonishment at the miracle in front of her.
Misha suddenly stood up, everyone saw her. He walked slowly with unbalanced footsteps. Grabbing the fire with his hands from a distance, as if trying to ascertain whether this was reality or a hallucination.
...Wait up......
...this...it's thrilling..! how can a man bring fire out of his hands! there must be a trick he did, yes! it's a magic trick, I can watch it through the theater....
...haha......
...Damn it don't try to trick me....
Skeptics are a pure way of looking at intelligent people. Everything that is beyond reason, must be doubted whatever happens. All geniuses have this view, one of them is a man named Lazor Franciszek.
