6. Groom?

Finally today is the day I will met my grandmother. I hope my preparations last two days don’t get wasted. With help of Juli I was able to prepare five recopies that are good enouch to fool most people I hope...

„Lady we arrive shortly. Its time to get up and get ready” (Juli)

„Ugh.. Already? I want to sleep more.”(Amelia)

“Lady Amelia you cannot look sloppy when meting your grandmother for first time. Now come here and let me take care of you. And pleas refrain from working all night from now on. Its bad for your skin.”(Juli)

“I promise nothing and I can take care of myse...”(Amelia)

“No excuses! Its my duty as personal maid to take care of you. We don't want disappoint all tailors that made dreses for you.*grin*”(Juli)

“Ughh..”(Amelia)

“There is no use resisting. Here is first one.”(Juli)

Juli is ruthless. Did she really need to put me into this with dress? It even have wings! I don't know what she made with my hair but I can be certain that she made me into angel. I can only hope that guards have enough self control not to pass out or assault me like that time at home when I was running from maids excessive care. At that time they made me into little devil. It certainly was not outfit for one year old...

“My Lady we have arrived.”(Juli)

Finally! So that's where my grandmother lives. Its big! I’ve underestimated her. Now that we getting close lets better made sure that everything is ready. Old looking parchments with ancient writing, translated descriptions of medicines. Now I only need revise plan on how to bring them up. And way to negotiate without being too obvious.

“Welcome Lamir how have you been I was really sad when you could not come here last year. But with all that was happening in capital I don’t blame you. I hope that nothing happen on your way to this desolate place.”(Grandmother)

“Long time not see mother. I apologize for my inability to come last year. This time travel took longer but nothing out of ordinary happen.”(mother)

Of course nothing out of ordinary happen. There was only four attacks by bandits, seven times animals tried to kidnap me and there was also accident when lord in one city almost locked us up in his harem. There were also some old dude on side of the road that we helped trying to push something on us and also I saw ninja but no one believe me. Normal everyday staff.

“That's good. And there behind you is that my newest granddaughter and her maid? You don't need to shield her from me.”(Grandmother)

“Pleas pardon that mother it became habit.”(mother)

“Habit you say?”(Grandmother)

“Nice to meet you grandmother Klarisa. My name is Amelia Thunderroar and maid beside me is Juli Honda.“(Amelia)

“So Amelia and... Juli. Lamir dear you must be tired from long journey go rest and I will take care of Amelia today.”(Grandmother)

“Yes mother.”(mother)

“Come Amelia grandma will show you around.”(Grandmother)

Something is not right. Grandma showed reaction to Julis name and mother looked startled for some reason I need to be careful. But for now lets enjoy tour of this place.

“And here is my study lets come inside.”(Grandmother)

“Yes grandma.”(Amelia)

“Now that we here you can stop acting childish. Non will be able to eavesdrop here.”(Grandmother)

“I don’t understand what you mean grandma. *tilt*”(Amelia)

“So you will fake ignorance, then let me tell you what I know. In your previous life you took part in something called “Gods game” and after reincarnation you did not lose your memory. I also know that you have ongoing bet with three Goddesses and found out “secret of creation” that all gods yearn after. Not to mention this world goddess Ramon acting as your maid. I know all that and more.”(Gradmother)

Uwaa.. How? It should be impossible to learn about it with Laura’s pro… Wait don't tell me…

“Ah Laura must have blundered. So your ability what it is called? It should be extremely rare or unique one.”(Amelia)

“Lady Amelia is that alright?”(Juli)

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

“Its alright Juli she already knows most of it.”(Amelia)

“Oho that was fast. I thought that you would fake ignorance longer. I wanted to pin you down.”(Grandmother)

“When you already know that much, there is no point in hiding. And you still need to answer my question.”(Amelia)

“My skill is called “Personal Information” and is unique skill that I got while adventuring in younger days. You should understand how this skill work with only that.”(Grandmother)

“That one nasty skill. But how much can you see?”(Amelia)

“Only outlines nothing detailed and also more significant incidents from someones life. For first time I’m regretting it isn't higher level. Reading about your life would be entertaining.”(Grandmother)

“Then I don’t need to hold back. About ongoing bet I wanted to bribe you into helping me. Now it will be easier that I don’t need to hide reason for it.”(Amelia)

“Ohohoho.. My help wont be cheap you know.”(Grandmother)

“I know. That why I’m came prepared. In my possession I have different recipes capable to revers or stop aging. One of them should be enough to buy seventeen years of cooperation.”(Amelia)

“For old women like me seventeen years is long time. I wont go for less than Eternal youth medicine.”(Grandmother)

“I did not take grandmother for someone that collect useless recipes. That medicine process needs Lv 9 Alchemist and ingredients only someone on hero level can get. If its all you in need for I have nothing against exchange it for your cooperation.”(Amelia)

“Ohoho.. Then if it is so useless to me what do you have to offer?”(Grandmother)

“On that I’m offering to trade is recipe capable of reversing aging process. With every year you get younger not older. That can be made by alchemist of Lv 3. But there are two things to keep in mind before using it. One is that without counter medicine you will get younger until infancy and even further than that meaning death. Second Its effective only once so that it wont be misused. That is my offer.”(Amelia)

“It sound dangerous. Of course I will also get recipe for counter medicine. And what do you want in exchange?”(Grandmother)

“Of course I don’t plan to kill my own grandma if needed I will be the one to make counter medicine. And I only want your help in making sure that there will be no wedding or engagement until my eighteen birthday.”(Amelia)

“Hohoho… You wish for much don’t you. Aren't young empress already made her move? Those recipes are not enough for me to go against her. I already heard that you can read any language if you want my help then there's something you will help me with.”(Grandmother)

“You are striking hard barging. I wont agree to anything without knowing what it is.”(Amelia)

“Of course then let me tell you what I want from you...”(Grandmother)

Its night already. At least I got what I wanted for two recipes and help with capturing underground ruins or more like puzzle dungeon from what I hear. Only thing I regret is that Juli joined in negotiations and demanded right for petting me fore one day in week. Unfortunately grandma also added petting in her demands after hearing Juli. And now I’m replacement for grandmas pillow. I want to go home!!

“Juli are you see what I am seeing?”(Amelia)

“If Lady see two Goddess on their knees and hand where third is skipping around them. Then yes my Lady.”(Juli)

“Amelia!!”(Orna)

“Or what happen to them?”(Amelia)

“After Or said know secret that happened.”(Orna)

“Then lets have tea.”(Amelia)

“Amelia Or reward!”(Orna)

“You want reward? What will be good one?...”(Amelia)

“Or wants cat Amelia!!”(Orna)

“Only for today.”(Amelia)

“YAY!!”(Orna)

“And no one ever seen Amelia again. So that what happen, in my dream. I wish that Lady Amelia stop visiting them.”(Juli)

“Uffufufu.. You had really interesting dream Ms Juli. But you right more I here about those Goddesses then more I wish she stops visiting them.”(Grandmother)

“Hisss..”(Amelia)

“Then we must do what we can to…..

To think Juli and grandma would hit it of. They like old friends. But dose they need to have this type of talk inside underground ruins! I never thought that they where under grandmas mansion. And today I wake up in Juli’s hands walking in dark corridors with grandma and surprise previous empress Sandra. They even don't let me even change into human form saying that I will trigger trap by accident! And why did you three must exchange me between yourself every hour!

“Where here. We where never able to go beyond this point. What do you think little Amelia can you open those door for us?”(Sandra)

“Finally I’m free!! I’m surprised you could not solve this puzzle.”(Amelia)

“Ohohoho.. then you say that you can get past them without any trouble.”(Grandmother)

“Of course but I don’t know if we should. On this door it say “Those that hate ^*&@#$ those that dispense #$%^& join me in my fight. I’m waiting inside. by Ignis” in one of books that mother bought for me says that Ignis was ruthless fire mage that slaughter many nobles and kings in his life only to disappear one day.”(Amelia)
