The Rise of the Sword Expert
A present from Marquis Kingston

Verion was sitting in the garden, his face facing the sun, but that face was covered by books. He was sunbathing or was lamenting his guilt.

Unaware of my whereabouts, he still behaved so. I didn't say anything either, just sat in the park and enjoyed a quiet time. The calm here is quite difficult to obtain.

We were only two meters away, I deliberately kept my distance because we needed time alone even though we were in the same place?

A female servant came to me, to tell me if Eli was looking for me. Before the maid left, Eli showed her form from the opposite direction. He waved at me lightly and smiled as bright as the sun.

"Acion!" his screams were so strong, that some of the soldiers who were patrolling looked towards him.

His skirt fluttered as it dashed towards me, surging with a rhythm similar to his body movements.

He was quickly near me. Can Sirens move fast on land? They turned out to be terrible.

The waiter hasn't left yet, he might want to get some attention from Eli for having delivered a message to me.

"Say you're looking for me?" I glanced at the waiter, Eli followed. Then nodded with excitement.

"What's wrong?"

"You can go" I said to the waiter. He bowed at us and left blushing.

A pair of eyeballs looked at me with narrowed eyes as they were not used to the sunlight. Verioni.

It seems our voices woke up his sleep. I smiled to realize it.

Eli pulled up a chair and sat down near me as if it didn't matter that he had woken up Verion.

"Why haven't you been to the lab for a few days?"

Well, I completely forgot the existence of that lab.

Eli looked at me intensely which made me uncomfortable. Especially when she held my hand and pulled it up her thigh. My face is flushed.

This is really an indecent act, making me ashamed.

He was indeed dazzling with an unexpected attitude that made the heart pound a little. But, I'm not Harzem, I don't know what he's up to, but it won't work on me.

"Ehm!" I coughed once to tell him that I was uncomfortable. Since it didn't work, I pulled my hand as if I was calling out to the dreamy Verion.

He leaned his face as Verion sat beside me like an obedient child. Verion is a very sensitive person turns out, but his eyes have not yet awakened perfectly.

Continue the conversation so as not to be awkward.

"Did you guys manage to make another potion again?"

Their team consists of one water witch, one fairy, and one siren. If estimated, they might be the strongest laboratory team in existence today. Filled by legendary beings who were great with magic, if others knew, they must be envious.

"We pretty much made magic potions. But the midget is often dissatisfied." His voice was soft but so felt his annoyance.

"Oh yes, we make medicinal herbs for various diseases, the price is good if sold. Then we're still making stamina-boosting potions."

As she smiled, it was the prettiest part of the day.

Its green eyes sparkle, making it the main focus, and the garden scenery as the background.

"If it's done, will you sell it to me, Akion?"

Verion looked at me with his waking face.

"If you buy it in bulk, I'll give you bonuses and discounts. How's it?" My business smile.

He laughed, and welcomed the hand I gave him. "Agreed."

"Don't forget our part, Akion. I want to buy a very beautiful dress. If it can be decorated with a charming peridot diamond." He makes his voice so sweet.

When he arrived here, the clothes he was wearing were quite simple. We never shopped for her needs. Of course a woman needs a lot of dresses and jewelry. In the old world, women often buy their needs in online shopping media. Until the pack introduction memorized with their faces.

"I'll spend all of you if you try hard and make it work."

Bugh!

I was very surprised when he hit the table strongly. He was not angry, but his eyes were fiery. Perhaps an expensive peridot makes his heart burn to work more vigorously.

"Oh, but you should visit us once in a while. To be honest I feel disappointed to have been forgotten alone there along the heck Midget."

He looked at me sad.

Without him looking at me like that I feel guilty. I've only left Eli alone in the lab a few times. I only brought Tanka and Harzem

"Eli~" The call has a sweet voice.

His golden hair that was exposed to the sunlight glistened. Harzem's footsteps lightly came to Eli, he looked like a dog coming to his master.

His body covered us, his hand with a certain intention was placed on the table and he spoke to Eli. Looks like a guy who wants to flirt with his woman.

The way of talking is very sweet. He looked at Eli from above, Eli slightly raised his face as he spoke to Harzem and made the scene quite ambiguous.

"Akion, we're going back to the lab."

Harzem looked at me with a knot of smiles that held a lot of meaning.

Harzem held Eli's hand as he stood. After that, Eli released his hand on Harzem.

"Excuse me, Akion."

They both walked together. Harzem looked at Eli happily.

"Did you let him go, Akion?"

"Of course, they have business in the lab." I answered him indifferently.

"It turns out you're cold."

What a strange thought.

Why would I stop Eli?

**

The day went fast.

I stared at the sunrise from the window of the room whose curtain had been opened by Bastian. I've been drinking the water Bastian gave me. Like I thought, Verion won't let that go.

From my window, I saw a crowd in front of the entrance. There were three horse carriages without emblems that had appeared at the main door. It seems to belong to the merchant.

They took down a few boxes that were told to be simple yet beautiful. In front of them Verion had stood to direct, his hands and mouth moving to give the edict of a ruler.

Without noticing it any longer, I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom. The warm water instantly relaxes all my muscles. In the bathup, a relief.

My eyes closed because all senses were comfortable. The sweet fragrance of roses filled the bathroom.

**

When I just came out of my room, I heard their debate.

"This is just a gift, Baron Sanktessy."

"I've considered you my own son. No need for this." My father's face was not happy.

"This is a thank you to my father for taking good care of me. As a father you wouldn't do something like my father?"

My father's quiet.

"really, right? So accept. A family gives and takes." Verion smiled, he tried to convince my father with his smile. The longer my father stared at the plain face with a smile, the more he fell asleep.

That's Verion's gun.

In the end, my father received all the gifts. The gifts were clearly fixed for everyone in the Sanktessy family.

Verion gave me a letter branded Kingston family, and a small black box. He explained this was his father's order, not even he knew the contents.

Indeed it should be, this is a secret thing between us, even if they are related by blood, if his father does not want to tell him, then he must accept it. Things to do, and he did.

I brought them both into my room. Noisy sounds still rang out from their conversation, but not too powerful.

I opened the letter.

To my ally, Akion Naal Sanktessy.

Thank you for taking good care of Verion.

I heard these few days he's been making your family miserable. I've sent you a reward in exchange for your father's continued refusal.

But the best gift I've given you.

As an aura user, maybe you'll like it.

I suggest you give him your aura.

Salutations

Marquis Kingston

The black box he gave me was medium-sized. About 30x30 cm. Not too heavy, and not swaying.

Whatever is in it, I'm sure it will surprise me. Because the Marquis himself guaranteed it.

Like a little boy pounding open his birthday gift, I felt it all over my body, my eyes staring at him focused on waiting for what gift I would see.

My hands stopped moving. Turns out it's pretty hard.

"Yes, this whole thing is just a gift." I muttered to myself and directly pulled the golden ribbon that bound him.

The first thing I saw was a fine haystack that covered the entire box. Feeling that Marquis Kingston would not do such a cheap joke, my hand instantly removed the straw.

It was a black egg that was very black. The egg has a strong structure, does not smell when I sniff it, and is quite large in size.

"T-rex eggs?"

That's what I thought when I muttered about eggs. When I was on earth, I used to dream of finding whole T-rex eggs. The gods granted it here.

I rubbed the surface of the egg, rough. He doesn't have a slippery surface like an egg in general, he's like he has a hexagon surface when I touch him.

"All right, let's warm you up."

I lifted the egg, and hugged it like a bolster. Slightly afraid to hold her too tightly, I rubbed the part of the egg that was right under my palm.

A letter came out as I pulled the egg out.

'I know you like it.'

Marquis

It was a short message that mocked me as a T-rex egg lover.

"But what is this egg?"

I who had noticed him had found no answer.

If it's true said Marquise, then I should give him my aura. Does he feel warm? I don't know, I just did what this gift giver suggested.

Even if this does not hatch, I can still display it and see it as the achievement of my dream on earth.

Well-favoured.
