Chapter 11 — New life(2)

Looking at Dorothy's eyes full of determination, Luminas became unable to bear it. He wanted to quickly get away from her.

“Ahahaha, I feel like I have made my mother wait a long time. Then Dorothy, see you later. Continue your work,”

With an awkward laugh, Luminas tried to change the topic, even though he wanted to go to his mother.

“Ah! Alright princess! I'm sorry I took so much of your time!

In a panic, Dorothy bowed and apologized to Luminas. As she felt that she had taken up a lot of her time, Dorothy felt guilty.

“Then, see you again. Continue your work,”

Luminas walked past Dorothy who was bending over and patting her shoulder that was taller than her.

“!!”

“Of course! I will work hard!”

Dorothy straightened her body and exclaimed in a determined voice.

Luminas responded by simply waving their hands without looking back. Dorothy who saw the small back of Luminas move away, felt something flaming inside her. He felt that he had to work hard to help himself.

Luminas feels Dorothy an attractive child, she involuntarily becomes smiling. Perhaps because it had been a long time that he had not found someone as energetic as that, he became interested.

It also seemed that since it had been a long time since he had been treated like this in this world, they had all treated Luminas with great respect. He became happy because he could meet people who were his age, treat him like a friend, and look at him as an equal, that's what Luminas thought.

But Luminas is one of those things, Dorothy doesn't see herself as equal. But Dorothy looked at him very high, like she was looking at the sky.

Due to the small deeds of Luminas, Dorothy became deeply moved. He had never seen a good royal family like himself, nor had he heard of a royal family who viewed them as equals as human beings.

Seeing this, without him realizing the feeling that was once a fear turned into admiration. Dorothy felt that Luminas would be a very great man in the future, if she led an empire she imagined would see what kingdom she led if their leader was Luminas.

Thinking of this, Dorothy's heart was pounding. Even with just the thought of Luminas in his mind, his spirit and loyalty grew even more within him. That's how little Luminas has done to Dorothy.

‘Ah, he's a sweet and very nice boy... Maybe I can be friends with him.’.

As he walked away from Dorothy, an involuntarily sincere smile was painted on his face. The servants who saw this became shocked, as they had never seen Luminas smile like this because of someone. They had never seen Luminas smile like this. Even though he smiled before, they felt that there was no sincerity in his smile. At his smile this time, they could feel the sincerity within

‘Mr princess smiles sincerely.’.

“Mr Princess, why don't you punish her? Though the girl has hit you hard, and it's possible that you will get hurt,”

The words of the butler beside him pulled Luminas back from his mind.

“Why don't I punish him? Because he did nothing wrong that required him to be punished,”

“But right! It has hit you so hard that it allows you to get hurt! You shouldn't underestimate that!”

“Isn't that just a possibility? As you can see, I'm fine now. So there is no need to punish people with such trivial reasons,”

Luminas shrugs shoulders.

“But I heard that your sister, the third princess executed someone because her servant had made a mistake—“

“Hei! Watch what you say!”

“Humpp”

A female servant who said that immediately shut up. He became very frightened in a moment. He feared that he would be executed outright for saying something he did not wear about the royal family, let alone in front of members of the royal family like Luminas. The words just came out without him noticing because the adamant Luminas would not punish the girl.

“Stop, did my sister do that? Will all members of the royal family punish them for not serving them properly?”

“Yes, your sister did just that. But it is natural, because he is not satisfied with his service, he will punish him. As for whether other members of the royal family were like that, the answer was yes. Maybe someone's exception—“

“Who?”

Luminas glanced towards the butler who looked like he was going to mention someone, Luminas became interested.

“He is your first brother, the crown prince of the kingdom of Medeia!”

“My first brother?”

“Yes! The crown prince would no doubt do such a deed. With his extremely knightly nature since childhood, he had never bullied anyone weaker than himself. He has a broad view of the future and life, so he is undoubtedly his capacity as crown prince,”

A servant said that with an excited tone.

‘Ohh, very interesting. I wonder what kind of person he is,'

‘The princess is very sweet, but sometimes a creepy aura is felt from her. Although usually he remains flat expression, it turns out he can display a smile like this..’.

‘Mr princess smiles! Adorable..’.

“Girl was a good boy yes,”

“Sure, princess. He's a good kid, but,”

“What's up?”

“Are you not a child too? Why do you call it ‘anak it’, whereas he is older than you,”

“.....”

.

.

Along the way to the hall, Luminas thought about the words of his servant. Ever since he was born in this world, he has never seen his brothers.

Although at that time Luminas was still a toddler, but the soul in his body was the soul of a middle-aged man. So that even when he was a toddler and could not communicate well, he still had full awareness of what he did so that the memory of the people he had met was still fresh.

“First brother, Leonard Von Medeia..Third sister, Agnes Von Medeia.

Luminas uses these two names repeatedly. Although he memorized the names of all his brothers but this was the first time he heard about them from a servant.

As he walked and continued to sink into his thoughts, without him noticing Luminas made it to the hall.

The shrill voice of an old man resuscitated Luminas from his mind.

“The royal palace magician Medeia Yarez, greet the princess Medeia”

The man bowed and gave a noble greeting.

‘So she is a palace witch..’.

Magicians.

A witch is someone who is able to use ‘man’ and make it happen according to her wishes. The thing that is manifested by a witch with which is called magic. This was the first time Luminas had encountered a witch from the royal palace.

‘Until he can be a palace witch, he must be great.’.

Although Luminas is no stranger to the word magic, it is still very foreign to the concept of magic. Nielson's old world is a modern world where there is no magic or magical phenomena, and everything is based on science.

But in this new world, he had to learn concepts that were very foreign to him. For him this world is a strange world, because he sees various things that are in fiction novels really happening in this world, one of them is magic.

Ever since he was in this world, Luminas had not been constantly learning about this world, even when he could not support his body with his own two feet he kept reading books. He read from a book taken by his mother, of course Luminas signals what book he wants to read.

Although Luminas understood the concept of magic, he never really came close to magic even though he was a descendant of the great magic family Argaient.

But fate says something else, as it is happening, like Luminas is destined for magic. Want to not because it has already been, He has to go through it.

“It is an honor to meet one of the noble trusted palace magicians,”

Luminas lowered her body slightly and raised both sides of her skirt, she displayed good noble etiquette.

‘Wah, although still very young but it has shown good etiquette’

The old witch from the palace was amazed by Luminas' intelligence. This was the first time he had seen a three-year-old girl displaying the perfect manners of noble manners.

“Mr princess is too much, I am just an ordinary witch,”

“There is no need to go down like that Mr. Yarez, the fact that you were chosen to be one of the Witches of His Majesty's trust is definitely due to your prowess,”

“Thank you for your flattery Princess, you are so smart, this kingdom must be blessed with the birth of you as a member of the royal family,”

The palace witch bowed and smiled as she flattered Luminas.

This flattery may sound cliche and false, but Luminas can tell if the words of the old man in front of him there is sincerity.

Of course, the flattery that the magician took out from this palace was sincere. Because this is the first time since he served as one of the palace witches to experience this incident. He felt positive about this incident and concluded that Luminas was a smart child.

The witch sincerely admitted that Luminas was a rare genius. He had never heard that someone either from this kingdom or the outer kingdom, did a magic test when the person was only 3 years old. This is a rare phenomenon that is almost impossible to occur.

When ordinary people usually only learn magic at the age of 15 years, and the fastest nobles learn magic at the age of 8 years, of course learning magic at the age of 3 years is amazing.

He was pessimistic when he was called to visit the Queen's Argaient residence and perform a magic test. Because she knew that the Queen's daughter was only 3 years old. He felt that this was still too rushed considering the experience he had.

The old witch could not stop thinking negatively that this might have been futile and disappointing. Even if the child is very talented and is a great bloodline, but it is still too early to learn magic.

But looking at Luminas' behavior and words, it seemed like the old witch was pulling her thoughts back. Inevitably she became a little hopeful, that it was possible that this little girl in front of her could really build her magic at such an age.

“Wait a minute, where is my mom? Shouldn't he be here by now?”

Luminas had been looking around the hall since then, but he had not found his mother anywhere.

“Ah, Her Majesty The Queen left a moment ago. He said he still had outside business. But I'm sure it's just an excuse,”

“Only reason?”

“True, by his nature, it seems he just can't bear to see his beloved daughter in pain,”

“Ah! So like that,”

Luminas nodded as he understood the nature of his mother.

“Wait a minute, what do I mean by I will be in pain?”

Luminas who heard that became shocked. He had never heard the slightest hint that he would feel the pain of what was about to happen.

“Alright, let's just start the magic test,”

Without noticing Luminas' words, the old witch Yarez took something from her bag.

It was a crystal ball and also a small crystal the size of a marble.

“First of all, let me explain about the procedure, usually I will explain this repeatedly, but since the Princess is very intelligent it seems unnecessary,”

“No need to flatter Mr. Yarez, better start soon,”

“Okay, this thing I took out is a tool for the magic test we're going to do now. The first one is a crystal ball, this serves to show what attributes we have to make it easier for us to develop our magic,”

After explaining this, the old witch Yarez was silent for a while.

Until Luminas broke that momentary silence.

“Mr Yarez, why did you become silent? Then what is the function of this small crystal?”

“Mr princess will see firsthand what this little crystal can do,”

The old witch Yarez then took the small crystal she had placed on the table earlier. He held the small crystal by placing it on an open palm.

Old witch Yarez then closed her eyes.

The tiny crystals that sit on the open palm of the hand, become more visible. The shape looks like a crystal in general, also the color is transparent but not translucent it is quite beautiful, like a jewel.

Not long after the old witch Yarez closed her eyes, a miracle happened. The small crystal that had a transparent color suddenly gave off a small light.

The light was so small, and it also twinkled that it was hard to see it clearly. But after a while, the light emanating from the small crystal gradually became brighter. Continuously getting brighter to the point that the light that was twinkling earlier, turned into a dazzling light.

Looking at the small transparent crystal that was now shining brightly, was an amazing sight. The entire room was amazed by the light that was emitted to envelop the entire large hall, especially people who did not know magic.

Especially for Luminas, he who had never seen anyone else use magic was amazed by the sight until his eyes were slightly wide-eyed.

In his previous life as Nielson, when all civilizations were based on science and physics, he had never seen such a miracle called magic. For him magic is a very new and also foreign thing. So he was even quite impressed by the action that most witches found simple.

As the entire room was being amazed by the simple sight of blinding light, the old witch Yarez broke the silence.

“This small transparent crystal is a tool made with special materials, to test and help someone who is just learning magic,”

“Testing magic?”

“Yes, this tool was created in addition to special materials, also created with high technology from magic tower. This small crystal works the way when we put the crystal in the palm of the hand, this crystal will absorb their magic and show how strong the potential and also the magic of the person,”

“Indicating potency?”

“True, when a person has not learned magic, then the magic energy in the body has never been trained, so it will usually only bring up a flicker of light,”

“It means...”.

“As you suspected, Princess. The more magic that is put into the crystal, the brighter the crystal will be. Which means if someone has never trained his magic and the crystal light shines brightly then the potential of the person is very great,”

When the witch Yarez ended her explanation, the small crystal in her palm became dim, and then it returned to its original state.

‘Attractive tool..’

“Then, how will we start?”

“First of all we will do an attribute test with this big crystal ball,”

Old witch Yarez took the crystal ball he had placed on the table earlier.

Luminas approached Yarez and grasped the crystal ball with her two tiny hands.

“How do I do it?”

The new Luminas who was aware of his ignorance on how to flow magic asked.

“I'll guide you,”

Yarez handed the crystal ball to Luminas. After that he moved to the back of Luminas.

Yarez then extended his hand towards Luminas until his palm touched Luminas' back,

“Then, let's start the test,”
