" Hi Rey, how is it going? " Alex asked. " W...What do you think? " Rey said pantingly. Alex laughed and said " What my father is teaching us is the basics of magic and you are exhausted in just 15 minutes. What did you say on the first day? ' I will master magic in a month'." Alex said while laughing. " If you have that much time to taunt, can't you just help me." Rey said. " Okay, let's see how much you have progressed. Now, try to imagine condensing the mana particles which are scattered in your body, in the center." " It's astonishing to see how much he has progressed in just six months of training. It took me sixteen months to reach this stage. He is a monster" Alex thought to himself. " I am tired now, can we take a break?" Rey asked pantingly. " Okay, then what should we do?" Alex asked. " Let's go and see Chris?" Rey said.

" See, how cute Chris is! There is no sister like Chris in this world and I guarantee it." Rey said with a proud face. "Y...Yeah, I can see that" Alex replied awkwardly. "What both of you are doing here," Henry asked as he entered Christene's room. "We came to check on Chris" Rey replied. "Oh, is that so. Alex sees how cute my Chris is, isn't she?" Henry said. "I think it's now the millionth time you have asked this question to me," Alex said quietly. "What did you say?" Henry asked. "No nothing, she is beautiful and I didn't see anyone so beautiful till now," Alex said. "Yeah, but don't try to flirt with my sister otherwise YOU ARE DEAD," Rey said with a deep voice and Alex was trembling in fear. "Can I ask what all three of you are doing here?" Jeannette asked everyone while she entered the room.

"Nothing Mom we just came to see Chris" Rey said. "Perfect, as everyone is here then there is something we should talk about," Jeannette said. "Miss Visscountess, then I will take my leave," Alex said and left the room.

"What is it Mom?" Rey asked. "Your uncle sent an invitation to our whole family for the 'Night of Crux' event," Jeannette said. "Is it that event which is held once in a year, where we pray to the crux which is seen in the sky?" Rey asked. "Yes. Now the question is should we go or not? I think we should not go because Chris is seven months old and she could not travel such a long journey" Jeannette said. " But we didn't travel anywhere this year and we can ask Charlotte to take care of Christene, and this is the only time when your brother is free from work so you could also meet him" Henry said. "Yeah, but.." "Don't worry Miss, I will take care of the young lady" Jeannette was suddenly interrupted by Charlotte as she was entering the room with a bottle of milk in hand. "So it is settled now that we will go to your Uncle's house in the Southern Kingdom" Henry said to Rey. "Yes" Rey said with excitement.

"The Southern Kingdom of the Clovek Empire is the only kingdom that is sharing its borders with the dark forest formerly known as Mistoa Empire. It is moderately hot all over the year so, the houses in the kingdom are generally in wood style and" "I know all about Southern kingdom Mom. I read it in the book and you also revised me almost fifty times" Rey interrupted Jeannette while they were traveling in the carriage. "Yeah I know but, to be on the safe side you have to revise" Jeannette said. "But why?" Rey asked. "Because if you didn't answer the questions of your uncle correctly, your Mom will be scolded for not telling you anything about the Southern Kingdom" Henry said. "Is my uncle really like that?" Rey asked. "He is Duke and the king of Southern kingdom so he has to oversee everything like terrain, finance, culture, etc. If he made any decision without any prior knowledge then it can result in a catastrophe. That's the reason why he will react like that even if it is not worth reacting" Henry said. "It will be my first time traveling outside the Capital and visiting my uncle's place. I am excited to see what type of person my uncle is and what type of place is the Southern Kingdom" Rey thought to himself.

"Welcome, Jeanette. I see Rey also came but why is he here" Duke Claude said with an annoying face."Because you told to come with the family" Henry Replied. "Greetings to the Duke, My name is Reynard Spada" Rey greeted Claude. "Hmm, except appearance nothing is similar between you and your father" Claude said with a smile on his face and annoyingness towards Henry. "Dad, did you do something to the uncle in past? Why is uncle treating you like that?" Rey whispered to Henry while they were following Claude in the corridor. "Well the reason is, when I came to talk regarding marriage with your mom, he tested me whether I can marry his sister or not and I failed the test. Even then also we got married" Henry whispered. "What was the test?" Rey asked. "It was all about mathematics and finance" Henry said with a grin on his face. "Oh, that's why Mom takes all decisions regarding finance and all. I don't know what mom saw in my father and married him" Rey thought to himself.

"Rey, Greet your aunt and cousin" Jeannette said. "Greetings to the Duchess and the lady. My name is Reynard Spada" Rey greeted. "Oh my, how cute and good-looking he is. No need to be formal to us, after all, we are family and as for introduction my name is Ellen Seren and she is my daughter Clarissa Seren. Clar say hello to everyone" Ellen said. "H..H...Hello" Clarissa greeted everyone with hesitation. "How cute is she? My name is Jeannette Spada and he is my husband Henry Spada" Jeannette said. "Hello Clarissa" Henry said. Clarissa hid behind her mother." It's her first time to see anyone else besides us so she is feeling shy" Ellen said. "Yeah, It happened to Rey also when he first met Willson. I remember, he was hiding outside the gate and staring and when Willson tried to approach him, he ran back to his room" Henry said. "Dad!?" Rey said with embarrassment and everyone started laughing." Rey both of you are almost of the same age so can you be her friend?" Ellen asked Rey. "Yes, I will" Rey replied with a warm and bright smile.

Rey and Clarissa walked out in the garden as all the adults wanted to talk in the hall."So, Clarissa may I ask what your age is?" Rey asked."S..Six" Clar replied."Well, I am also six" Rey said and then everything went to silence."About what should I talk now? I can't remember what type of topics girls like. Let's try another topic" Rey thought to himself." Umm.. do you like books?" Rey asked. "Y..Yes I like to read books" Clar said."What type of books do you like?" Rey asked. "I..I like to read books related to magic and novels" Clar said. "Is that true!? I also like that type of books, they give you so much knowledge and are very interesting" Rey said. "Yes absolutely. There are many types of books which helps in applying magic and about its theories like 'Law of Pentagram' and 'Magus Cyrus'. They are absolutely fantastic books and....." " Is she really that girl? I can't even find her shadow of pervious self. I think she likes to read books. Now I think she is comfortable" Rey thought to himself. "Shall we go to my room. I will show you my collection of books" Clar said. "Okay Clarissa" Rey said. "Clar, call me Clar. Everyone in family calls me like this" Clar said. "Okay, then please call me Rey" Rey said. "Okay Rey, shall we go?" Clar asked. "Yes, Clar" Rey replied with a bright smile. While they were walking towards the mansion Rey felt like someone was watching him from the shadows, but found nothing and walked away with Clar.
