The strange boy.
I found out that he was the son of a high ranking soldier in ashfall kingdom.
I apologized to the young shepherd whose name was.
"I'm Micheal Von Vishra. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Wol .. Alicia Avantika Abhaya my pleasure to meet you. again im really sorry to make you felt terrified."
"it's fine. its all my fault on the first place."
at once he smiled an innocent gentle face showed.
despite his smile was accompanied by a tragedy that changed their lives as a prominent clan of Nobles.
Vishra clan two thousand years later is the most looked up to and recognized for their skill in managing their big business. and they are busy raising their military status. but a catastrophe befell their clan that ruined their reputation in society.
the curse of the Demon God was transmitted to their generation two thousand years ago.
Everything starts when the H.E. ages ended and The D.C. ages started.
Something in between is connected to this.
is it all just a coincidence?
Micheal is the 35th generation to inherit such a curse.
reason so that his father Mauro Von Vishra used the rest he inherited from his parents to hired a Magic surgeon to cure his only son. That cause them to sink deeper into poverty.
several times the operation he could barely count.
his eyes and ears are open whenever his parents and mr Frey talk. He definitely knew what was going on even if they don't tell him the reason of his countless surgery.
And so i asked what kind of cursed he inherited to go on such countless surgery?
but he said he doesn't know and he wasn't sure what it was but on the other hand the operation was successful that he doesn't bother to find out that when his human core was replaced with a monster core.
the important thing is that his father is happy and Michael can see those smile again that lost 3 years ago upon learning that he has the generation cursed.
In that cased i am not in the right place to argue with it.
in other words like a heart transplant is his unified path?
he recounted it as we drank tea.
"Wait, it's getting dark, my father is definitely looking for me."
I found him really disturbed. and he didn't seem to worry his father.
"I'll accompany you then."
"It's embarrassing, auntie."
auntie ? Just a simple auntie and getting through my nerves.
but I guess it's all my fault so i must endure this errr.
Luckily my emotion is not coming out and totally masked out by my poker face.
"I insist, did you know that it's dangerous went out alone in this part of the forest?"
Like i also knew this place. I'm still a stranger who really know nothing about this forest wether there is a monster or not. But my words came out like a warning because i really want to help him get home safely.
But he said.
"There is not a single monster in this part of the forest because my father has made sure that it's really safe here day or night. Because my father is so strong and always keeping me safe and the rest of the kingdom."
He seemed to trust his father very well. Maybe their strong bond connection really does it.
maybe his father was really strong because he was a soldier and to think that he was also a high ranking soldier in this kingdom.
What is his position then?
That question never came out of my lips.
but I still need to be sure.
so far I haven't caught any monster in my 4 kilometer radius field vision magic search but i sense one human reacting to it. That is just a human nothing to worry maybe it was his father and he was looking for his son.
"Even if you don't want to and even if you don't. I still insist accompany you to your house just to be sure you can go home safely."
"what else can I do."
He smiled again
I also smiled in response.
the moon is bright so I don't need the light element to lighten up our path.
he recounts his father's other abilities as we are walking.
but he didn't mention anything about his mother.
why is it?
I heard someone shouting and looking for the name ‘Micheal’ so I think it was his father.
That was a human reacted to my magic searched.
Micheal was surprised because I told him his father was just nearby.
He was wondering but he still follow me instead.
and we were a mile away from his father Mauro so he was really shocked when he found out that his father was really there.
I said goodbye to them after his father introduced himself politely and Mauro was really happy to see Michael safe beside me.
he also said that he was too worried about his son because only sheep came home and Micheal was not even there so he became worried and immediately run through the forest where Micheal usually feeding the sheep.
But even there he's definitely out of sight and it's getting really dark.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
all her fears were gone when he saw Michael safe.
when Mauro learned my name he immediately bowed and paid tribute to me as an honorable soldier.
he invited me to go to their house to have dinner there instead of going back to the cliff and he insist about being alone in that part of the forest was really dangerous.
" I wouldn't mind but didn't you forget i was a hero and i can handle myself."
" Pardon me princess Alicia our dear hero."
Father and son bowed before me but i restrain them to never do that again because i don't want them to treat me like i was from whole different dimension. But the real reason was. I don't feel like i was the one.
I guess I can't hide my identity even in this place.
I talked to Mauro that I would follow them with my invisible cloak which obviously doesn't surprised them so I didn't even pay attention to what was in my Jacksonii cloak.
maybe having a Jacksonii cloak is common.
he just warned me that there is a mechanic that could detect any intruders without visa by patrol guards stationed around the Ashford wall.
I just smiled because even magic detection can't afford me to get through it.
we arrived at their house after a few hours of walking.
I was able to get into the tight security of Ashford City wall without much difficulty.
it turned out that we had walked to their house for an hour and a half.
9:40 pm in my wristwatch time.
he offer me to sit in front of the dining table and hurried to get the dinners ready.
he said he had already cooked for dinner when he peeked into the sheep shelter to call Micheal and eat their dinner but only sheep were there and michael was not.
Michael apologized to his father and they hugged while crying.
I can say their union is perfect i almost carried away but something is missing.
where is the mother?
after Michael ate, he thanked me before he headed to his bedroom.
And Mauro take out two bottles of wine from the wine shelves?
the brand written is 'Tuba'. I seem to have an idea of the name of such a wine brand.
so I asked him if it was juice from the flowers of coconut trees.
he was not surprised but he laughed and said that only a few do really knows about the wine origin.
he recounted that the plantation of their coconut trees was vast which he only inherited from his deceased parent. but because of the cursed inherited by Michael he sold all their business resources and bought all by the Avantika clan such coconut plantation.
these 'tubas' are all that is left to him and he became nostalgic remembering his luxurious living.
and when he learned that their vast plantation of coconut trees had been made a real state subdivision for the workers of the Avantika he was greatly saddened.
and she began to weep before me.
the 'tuba' was already responding to my eyes but I still remained calm and listened to his story.
and when he also told me about the story of his wife who left them knowing that his son had inherited such cursed from their clan.
I tapped his shoulder as he cried.
he apologized for what he had done in front of me.
"Don't treat me differently."
" I'm really sorry."
"I said no."
oops the tuba bit me I'm a little dizzy.
"okay. hahaha"
seriously? hes too easy ..
"Good then but can I find out the cursed one that landed on Michael? And why was the monster core replaced with his human core?"
for a moment his face became serious.
and I was obviously surprised at what I said.
he laughed afterwards.
I was a little taken aback by his laughter.
"Is there anything funny I said?"
he was getting serious again.
"ehem. maybe I don't know my son very well yet."
"Why did you say that?"
"because he keeps secrets from me that I know he's still holding on to until now."
"That's really how kids are but your dodging my previous question."
"ehem. pardon me for that. to tell you honestly I also don't know where cursed came from and started. but the surgeon told me something about Michael's core being contaminated with dark elements that his body couldn't handle while he was growing so when he reached the age of twelve Dr. frey recommended that a core transplant be needed.
the law prohibits core transplant in humans because it is too dilated and will not be allowed by the Avantika but i still I decided to agree with Dr. Frey to perform the operation immediately because Michael will die in a few moments. We talked about it only with the two of us and we will keep it a secret for the rest of our lives.
but now I am afraid that it may spread because he told you. Dr. Frey and I also agreed that we must not have to tell anyone because he might lose his license and be charged with malpractice, and would be imprisoned for at least ten years.
I hope it stays a secret I beg you dear Hero. I leave my life to you from now on if you just let it slide "
Maybe he thinks i will purge them because i am a hero that serves as an image of true justice.
"we won't end up there. even if I'm in your situation I'll do the same. but I have a condition for zipping my lips"
" what is that?"
I explained to him my condition because I was really puzzled at how the core transplant was performed by a magic surgeon.
so I asked Mauro that tomorrow I would meet this Dr Frey.
and he did not disappoint me.
in the morning when I woke up from the bed he had prepared for me in his house yesterday night.
he called me and introduced me to Dr. Frey inside the living room.
the doctor's face showed that he was anxious and could not look at me directly but he gladly greet me so well knowing that i am the rumored Hero.
after our formal introduction.
Dr Frey apologized for what he had done. and begged him not to report to the authorities.
"Why would I do that?"
I told him.
I saw his face gradually brighten.
"wonderful."
"don't celebrate yet. do you know that Mauro and I have an agreement?"
"What agreement?"
Mauro scratched his head and spoke.
"I'm sorry if I tricked you. I hope you understand Dr. Frey. Don't worry, you'll take care of Princess Alicia. I have something that i need to do first. Feel at home just lock the door if you need to go out bye."
Mauro was really optimistic and literally dodge the situation.
"Wait a minute Mauro?"
but Mauro left and I knew he was in a hurry because he didn’t want to listen to what Dr Frey had to say.
The reaction on the doctor's face returned and he was really nervous.
Looks like everything was going smoothly.
"tell me everything you know or else"
and consequently I followed him with my Jacksonii cloak and we entered his laboratory.
he is a specialized doctor.
using magic surgery he can successfully swap the core of a dead monster into a living animal right before my eyes.
I'm just wondering how the monsters preserved in these big jars that don't come to life again even if they still have cores intact?
he said he used some kind of techniques. Only a magic surgeon can do it he exclaimed.
the 'preservation'
'preservation' is also a form of Life magic where time stops at something dead or lifeless.
in other words any life when used with preservation will die.
only licensed doctors are allowed to used and learned about it.
however, it is difficult when the non -law abiding citizen will know this kind of magic.
not only that.
he can also change the human face using 'Reanimation' which is also a kind of life element.
I became a bit interested in 'Reanimation' because of my doubts recently.
if I enter Magic Academy as Alicia Avantika Abhaya i will not be fully accepted by my future classmates and I may not be able to concentrate on my study it will all lead to burden.
Crap..
Fortunately this 'Reanimation' a life element came out of the situation.
in other words it is an option just in case.
Dr. Frey also graduated from Rhunya magic university before studying at the School Of Medicine in Ursula Kingdom.
so I asked him if it is possible to fake the status result in the Pillars Registry?
he answered yes so what happens next will be exciting.
I just don't want to standout in school and I want to lie low first.
And I miss my ordinary life so much and this will be one of my options to hide my true identity. moreover I can also include Jane, Martha, and Lia without anyone recognizing them.
so I have already asked and need to fulfilled my favor to the doctor.
first I needed a new face for six people.
secondly I need six fake status registries even though I am already registered with the Pillar Registry. This fake status will forward to the Registrar office and I will keep the real result for me only.
third
i need fake citizenship for six people.
"You're asking too much, Princess Alicia."
"then say goodbye to your profession. hahaha ..
_i saw he was scared of what I said and begged without a voice and just emote what he did.
that won't happen as long as you just follow what I say. clear? "
"Obviously dear princess."
"It's good and we understand each other. You probably know the consequences if you don't obey."
"yes dear princess"
the intention to go to this place did not match my wishes.
it's okay and at least I have good news for the five left in the Tallulah forest. what are they doing now? Is their 'harvest' over?
the things I asked Dr. Frey were not free. I just came out pretending that I would expose his Act of Malpractice so that he would obey me and he would not refuse anything I asked for.
in exchange for the favor I asked him I showed him the different types of monster cores he can take as he wished. of course I didn't release everything.
Only 100 pieces out of the 5,000 I have showed him.
"this is unbelievable because monster cores are said to be rare in the market and they are still alive using 'Materialization'
monster cores are rare here in the Ashfall kingdom because the number of S class catastrophic monsters has increased inside the Tallulah forest so the Adventurers here are just paid to patrol the Great Forest of Tallulah.
other adventurers have joined the jurisdiction of the Abhaya adventurers guild."
and he said a monster core went up in price and became 5 gold per piece.
4,900 x 5 = 24,500 gold.
Amazing.
