The Bungsu Princess Inferior

58. Choosing the right people

The portal opened and darkness burst forth toward me and Aciel. Aciel chose silence, it seemed that he gave me room to calm down, I tried to control myself and bind all the emotions that were about to overflow uncontrollably. I took a deep breath and tried to focus on the reality before my eyes. I wiped away the tears on my cheek, and pulled out a long piece of my silver hair, this time the pain was not felt. A silver hair that I managed to pull out, I let it float in the air, then I bit hard on my index finger until it bled, I dripped three drops of my blood on a piece of silver hair that floated up, and then I bit it, then I flicked my finger and there was a blue fire. Burning that blood-soaked silver hair with the fire I created, Aciel cooperated by remaining silent so that my concentration did not split, I focused my mind and in an instant, I focused, a large swarm of fireflies created illuminate the darkness of the forest that was once very dark.

"Please help me light up this forest, multiply as much as possible, and inform me if anything unusual happens" I told them. "Go away" they followed my words and went to light the forest.

I looked up at the quiet sky, "it seems we don't have to linger waiting for him" I heard footsteps approaching. I turned my gaze to the origin of the sound.

"Who?" aciel asked following my direction.

A girl who hit me at the market this morning emerged from behind the thickets of the bushes accompanied by some fireflies that gave her light. "Well, since when are there fireflies? It seems that someone granted my prayers, thank goodness!"

I smiled looking at her happy-looking face from the dim glow of the fireflies, "sorry miss, may I ask for help?"

"Oh my goodness! You surprised me!" The girl looked surprised, her one hand rubbing her chest repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The girl looked at me and Aciel, some fireflies came to give us light. "You're not ghosts, are you?"

Aciel laughed, and I smiled. "To know if we're ghosts or not, please come in tomorrow morning, miss."

I pointed towards the land that now seemed to be glittering due to the light of the lights, it seemed that Balin was working hard today. The girl followed the direction I was pointing, "since when was there a building there?"

"Since today, come with all the herbs that miss found tonight, we'll buy them." I looked at her face, "we need the help of the lady, we wait for her to come tomorrow morning, thanks to see you tomorrow lady!"

I slightly lowered my head to her and left, Aciel followed me, while the girl seemed to be watching us from afar. I stepped toward the glittering light of an unknowable lamp from the forest gate.

"Well, isn't this too grand to be said to be a farm?" Aciel stared at my work in amazement. He read the nameplate that was firmly attached to the front, "Rara?"

"Yes, it's me! You should call me Rara and call Balin with Lin here, remember without any frills!"

"Then what about me, Yang.. ehm Rara?" asked Aciel who stammered almost to call me His Majesty, I was happy to hear Aciel call me Rara, it feels like we really are friends!

"Welcome back Miss," Balin greeted me respectfully, then he faced towards Aciel, "welcome Young Master Aciel."

"Hey Lin, long time no see!" Aciel pulled Balin in his arms, they did look familiar, even Balin did not look stiff when with Aciel. "Rara asked me to call you Lin, then what call do you think Lin deserves?" Aciel embraced Balin's shoulders familiarly.

"Young master Aciel," Balin replied without hesitation.

"Well, Lin is really smart!" I gave a thumbs up to Balin, I did not intend to make a pseudonym for Aciel, I wanted Aciel to be known by his name instead of a pseudonym. All this time I realized how talented Aciel was, but somehow he seemed to shut himself down and chose to keep all of his talents and abilities from the public, he looked like he was hiding from something. This time it was the right opportunity to get him to channel the talent he had been hiding, so I decided to make him known as himself.

"But that's my real name? Why didn't you give me a pseudonym? Isn't this unfair?" Aciel looked annoyed but I was relieved that he was quick to adapt, he called me without frills.

"Because starting tonight you're the leader of this place, Aciel. I'll give it to you, I hope you make it!" I stepped towards the main building, "Balin, please take Aciel around."

"Where are you going Ra?" Aciel asked while slightly shouting because I was walking away.

"Sleep, I'm so tired today. See you in the morning" I said without turning back.

I continued walking until I was in front of the main building door, I opened the door through the room that had been perfectly arranged by Balin into an office that was quite spacious and complete, and, I have to admit that Balin's taste is pretty good. Kunaiki stairs one by one until arriving at the top floor, there are about ten rooms facing each other, certainly quite spacious even if inhabited by two people. But I felt something was lacking, I flicked a finger and added the top 1 floor. I stepped up and went back up the stairs to the top floor, I left this floor half open, the other half I gave the roof like a roof garden that can be used to relax while looking at the beautiful scenery. I made an iron fence around this floor, not forgetting I added a touch of flowers that I moored adorning the fence. I set the sofa and kitchen clean in a roofed room and set up some waterproof chairs in an unclogged room, I equipped it with several parasols to protect it from the sun during the day. Some garden lights I planted on the wall to make it warmer and brighter.

"Since when did you turn it into a palace?"

Without even looking I knew who the owner of this voice was, I walked towards a long chair under the shade of a parasol, I sat my body, more precisely laying my body on a long chair. "I just realized that it's too dear to not be able to see the scenery."

I closed my eyes, tired of saying hello. I slowly felt him sitting on a chair beside me and lying there. "Thank you for caring about my people Ra," his words sounded soft but sincere.

"It wasn't me, but it was time that called me Ken." I couldn't help but feel sleepy, I heard Ken's voice but I didn't know what he was talking about because he was tired of dragging me into the dimension of a calming dream. My place can let go of all the worries, responsibilities, and sadness that for some time continues to surround endlessly.
