That is an extremely beautiful person. At first glance, it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female, but even in this strange and strange space, the man's appearance was still unrealistically beautiful, making the girl's fear a little less.
He silently approached Bernadetta, placing his hand on her forehead. The surprisingly cold hand made the girl shrink back.
“Doesn't seem to have a fever.”
“Yes……”
“Do you feel dizzy or have any unusual bright spots?”
The girl shook her head because she didn't feel anything. The man's aura is mysterious. Maybe it's because of his purple eyes. Those eyes looked at her as if they were examining her, and Bernadetta thought those purple eyes sparkled like brilliant amethysts.
"While she was sleeping, I received a report from the magician of the Magic Tower. They said she suffered from Magic Control Disorder."
It's a familiar word. These are the words adults use to explain her illness. But at some point, she no longer heard clearly about the disease she was suffering from.
Therefore, it had been a long time since she had heard directly about 'Mana control disorder syndrome'.
"That's right. They said that's why I can't become a magician."
Not many people dared to mention this topic in front of her, but she was well aware of her illness. Even though she was only twelve years old, Bernadetta had a different maturity compared to other girls her age.
At this moment, the man in front of him smiled faintly.
“Who says she's not a magician?”
"Yes?"
The answer made Bernadetta's eyes widen in surprise like a rabbit's. The girl clearly understood what this man said. However, the girl could not easily accept this situation, she blinked a few times and tried to remember what happened before losing consciousness.
“Ah, that means… I lifted those people into the air.”
“That is the power of the Wind element in elemental magic.”
“The Power of Wind?”
“But it's not just Wind.”
He silently opened his palm in front of her. Then close your eyes, move one hand as if reading something with your hands, as if playing a musical instrument.
“The first opening ability is Fire.”
At this moment, Bernadetta looked understanding.
"Ah, if it's Fire then yes. The torch I was holding suddenly burst into flames."
The man seemed satisfied with the young magician's reaction.
“Fire and Wind. Possessing two magical elements is a great quality.”
The man was really amused, the corners of his lips curled up. It was a completely different smile from the languor that emanated from his appearance.
Me and Cesar, the unconscious Bernadetta, Vittorio following for escort purposes, and finally Bernadetta's nanny Fortuna. This large group of people arrived at Richard's laboratory.
In particular, Vittorio insisted on following us to protect us, refusing to leave even half a step. We had no choice but to let her go with us.
Richard seemed visibly upset by the sudden appearance of so many people.
“This many people……”
He looked at the group, then sighed and shook his head.
“I need to check on this baby, please wait outside.”
Richard took Bernadetta inside.
But just a moment later, Bernadetta's scream rang out. I quickly knocked on the door of the room the two people had just entered. The door opened. Probably Richard's magic.
“Bernadetta!”
“Eh, sis?”
There, Richard and Bernadetta were chatting intimately. I quickly approached my youngest sister.
“Bernadetta, are you okay?”
I glanced at the suspicious items scattered around the girl and Richard. Perhaps noticing my gaze, Richard cleared his throat.
“After examination, this baby does not appear to have any abnormalities.”
Richard told me.
“What does that mean?”
“The Magic Control Disorder that your sister suffered from has completely disappeared, and her magician abilities have been opened.”
“Is, is that true?”
Bernadetta smiled happily.
“Is that so?”
“Then your illness really……”
Just hearing the family doctor's words I didn't completely believe it, but having it confirmed by Richard, a magician, my joy was indescribable.
Furthermore, it's magic. I know Bernadetta has had Magic Control Disorder since birth. But that disease has disappeared…….
“Did Cesar do this?”
I asked Cesar, who was standing next to me. He nodded complacently. Richard added an explanation for him.
“Your Highness used the power of the Dragon to cure this child.”
“Cesar has that power?”
I couldn't believe it, looking back and forth between Cesar and Bernadetta.
“It is not the power of Your Highness, but the power of the Crazy Dragon Curse that Your Highness carries within you, that is, the power of the Dragon.”
At Richard's words, Cesar nodded again. I even heard his voice, with clear and precise pronunciation.
“That's right, the power of voice……”
I have to ask again, because all of this is unbelievable. Both Cesar's curse and Bernadetta's illness are difficult problems for me.
“Cesar, what did Cesar really do?”
“Yes, and now, my curse has also been weakened a bit.”
And another surprising word came out of his mouth. Cesar was aware of his curse.
"What?"
“Indeed.”
Richard exchanged looks with Cesar, smiling contentedly. My heart beats strongly.
Cesar said slowly.
“The Fire of the Spring Equinox.”
Richard let out a voice of admiration, as if he understood.
“As expected, because the Spring Festival ritual was performed through the power of a true magician.”
“Just something like that can weaken that terrible curse?”
We did put old items on the giant firewood pile before the festival, but that was just common superstitious actions. Surely no one believes that will actually happen. I asked in a suspicious tone. Richard gently patted Bernadetta's back.
"Even though her power has not been fully released, if fully unlocked, it will be a power comparable to that of Great Mage Cosimo. No magician has ever unlocked two attributes at the same time."
Those words made Bernadetta's eyes widen in surprise again.
“Huh, h, you, the power of the Great Mage?”
I was equally confused. How
baby rabbit
Can ours have such power?
"The clearest evidence is here. It is His Highness's curse that has weakened. This state of being able to communicate clearly and be aware of oneself. How many years has it been?"
Richard exclaimed with emotion. Bernadetta joined the conversation.
“That person is the person who came with me… Could it be, His Highness the First Prince?”
"Yes, I am Cesar de la Rosa Constantini Fiore. Grand Prince of the Asetria Empire."
Cesar innocently introduced himself. He, who previously could only speak simple and understandable words.
“His Royal Highness Prince Cesar, then what do you want to tell us in private?”
Richard asked, Cesar nodded. He softly called his magical pet.
“Ave, come here.”
A sparkling golden dot appeared in mid-air. At first it was only as small as a grain of millet, then it grew to the size of an adult's fist, and gradually transformed into the shape of a bird.
“Eh,
Ppiyak
?”
Bernadetta recognized the chick she had seen. It seems that the girl also named this chicken
Ppiyak
like me.
But Ave's beak opened, emitting a childish, very immature voice. The voice was quite curt.
“No
Ppiyak
!”
The talking chick surprised Bernadetta, pulling the blanket up to her chin.
“It, what did it just say?”
“Ave, when did you know how to talk?”
I was equally surprised, looking at the chick with suspicion, Ave jumped up and down as if to protest, then introduced himself to Bernadetta.
"My name is Aveaxas. My master calls me Ave."
“Ah, hi, Ave.”
When Bernadetta greeted, the chick flew up and landed on her palm. Bernadetta was the first to notice the chicken's change.
“Eh, Ave, it seems like there's something different about you, right?”
"Of course it's different. I can finally say it!"
“It's not that… It seems… Ah, the black beard on your head has fallen off!”
“Eh, really?”
That was the moment when the hypothesis 'Will Ave really grow up to be a black chicken?' that I had always wondered about completely collapsed.
Ave couldn't see the hair on his head, so he tilted his head and shook his small body. Richard looked at the chick with interest.
“That's true. So the principle of that fur is……”
“What is it?”
I asked, urging him to answer. That part of the black fur is what I'm most curious about.
“Perhaps it is proof that the magical pet is also under the influence of black magic directed towards its owner.”
“Black magic……?”
Isn't that the kind of dangerous magic that Richard told me not to interfere with at all? At that time, Ave puffed out the feathers on his body and proudly opened his beak.
“That's because I'm the governing god
Tam La Van Tuong
.”
“
Tam La Van Tuong
What is it?
When Bernadetta asked, Ave started talking endlessly.
"Tam La Van Pheng is everything in this world. It means all the events and phenomena that occur in the universe. Black and White, Past and Future, Good and Evil, Male and Female, Yin and Yang……. I can transform into any of those qualities."
Faced with that somewhat academic explanation, Bernadetta tilted her head for a long moment before asking again.
“Is that good?”
