The Book Of Flowers

Plan Fitted

--- Night, House of Vainzel ---

We're gathering now. Everyone wanted to listen to the explanation of the two of us about the incident and sat down to get closer, except Veskal who was standing in the corner of the room

He was just watching us while we were talking about this

"No, no. I want a more detailed explanation" Luna said as she pinched the top of her nose

Everyone still looked puzzled by my explanation, whereas Verdea sitting on my lap was busy noticing the seal in her hand

"I already felt strange when I saw the Mana Core within that symbol yesterday. Turns out the weirdness I got was worse when I found out"

Everyone has a Mana Core. And all the Mana Nuclei of living beings were always located at their heart

The heart of a living being not only serves to spread blood to the body, but also Mana

That way, mana can affect the whole body. However, because the hand is the most flexible organ to use, it causes more mana when used in the hand

Verdea is also included in that. His Mana Core was located right at the heart. His Mana Power was also not at all overflowing. But for some reason, I could feel the second Mana Core of the symbol

And it doesn't stop there. That Mana Core did not even emit a Mana stronger than Verdea's original Mana Core, but it could make his magic that powerful

And after today's incident, and the analysis I did with Verdea's magic, I was fully convinced that the symbol was a seal, because the seal has the property of compressing one's power

Although I'm not sure the thing in his hand is a seal, but for now I just hang on

But, Verdea got the seal when we got to this place. When we were in the castle a long time ago, I did not feel any such peculiarity as it is now in his body

Although the dream when he met Marcellus himself started when we were in the castle, nothing strange happened to Verdea

Then what trigger did the seal suddenly appear?

A curse? The descendant? A blessing?

...

"Verdeans. Does Marcellus have a seal like you, too?"

"wait. Why are we turning to Marcellus?" Fyon Protests

"I confused Vain. Explain it in more detail" Lyralia complained

"Wait for your friends"

I turned back to Verdea after saying that

Verdea tried to remember the thing she saw in her dream

"There was. But, his symbol was shaped like a shield with six wings"

Huh huh?

Marcellus did have a symbol like Verdea, but the shape of the seal they were both different from each other?

...

"Can you explain what this has to do with Marcellus now?" Ask Luna who looks impatient

I let out my breath

Alright... They won't shut up if I don't tell them everything

......................

"..."

"..."

"... It's crazy!! That means-!!"

Nah!

Cyth's head was once again struck by Lyralia because of her non-silent mouth

"... Thinking that there's a possibility like this..." Luna muttered

Luna bit her finger because she was feeling uneasy

They all seemed to be in disbelief at what they heard. Silence ruled the entire room. Only the sound of crickets and other things outside could be heard inside this room

At least I told them the whole truth. I don't need to control their opinions at all

"Then why do you have to be on good terms with that kid?" Fyon asked annoyed

"Flake!" Ordelia interrupted

But Fyon raised his palm to tell Ordelia to be quiet

"You forgot what that man did to our people?" Fyon

"... No. gabe. Not at all"

He suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Then why do you want to help him!?"

"Don't say that presumptuously, Fyon!" I immediately retaliated

He just returned the words with a look of annoyance, then sat back down

"I realized that you might change your mind about him because of this. But, I'll still find out what Marcellus' real intention is to put this seal in his hands"

My head feels dizzy. Taking care of this kid is harder than I thought

I only want kindness for her, but how far can I take her to that goodness?

I was just afraid that I would suddenly have to stop halfway and not reach that destination at all

And the thing is, I can't do it myself in this situation right now, especially when the events that almost killed Verdea lately

Huh...

...

"Then, what should we do?"

I looked towards Luna who said that

He seems ready for whatever I'm going to command right now

But, not only is he so. Every one of my friends seemed willing, except Fyon

...

They are still willing to help us. Mercifully...

"Wait on! I still don't agree!" Fyon interrupted

I looked towards him

"Reason?"

"I don't want you to get involved with anything it's about

... I don't want the death of Oberon, 200 years ago to repeat itself"

...

"I understand what you mean. But, I myself have gone too deep in this matter"

The promise I made had to be kept. And a friend who is in trouble I will help

I always have been. The friendship I have with Verdea I can't just break it off right now. All that remained was how strong I could hold everything back

"..."

Fyon silent a thousand languages

He didn't know what else to say to convince me

Then I refocused on my other friends

"I want us all back tomorrow"

And with his compass, all my friends said "Huh!?", after hearing my words

I've planned all this

And if we want to take care of this seal thing, then,

"We have to take care of it there"

All my friends agreed

Ending the night, I escorted Verdea into her room and accompanied her until she fell asleep

And in order for our return to be quick, I have to ask for 'his' help'

I took my robe and started to come out of my house slowly without anyone knowing

......................

-- A few hours later, the Forest Gate ---

...

...

"... Greetings to the king of the fairies"

Seren lowered his head to pay his respects. I who just came out of the portal gate immediately greeted him

I then told him to raise his head, as I approached towards him from the portal

"The wind tonight is cold. I wonder why you can stay here"

I know it's winter, but because I'm used to the slightly warm artificial weather in Miralius, I can't stand the cold outside

"It's warm and not snowy?" Ask Seren

"It's still snowy, but it's all artificial, isn't it? The weather can even be controlled by Ayahanda" I said

"Space magic belonging to Lord Alf is indeed amazing" He said, then put on a serious face

"Then, is there a problem so you have to come here, Oberon?" Further

"... I want you to fly us home"

Seren's eyes widened as if he was surprised by what I said
