The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant

19.

Rein was forced to stand up and take out his wand. He closed his eyes to concentrate and began to whisper a spell. Started to form bubbles of water in the air that unite into large bubbles.

“Waah! Make it bigger brother!”

Anne, who had just seen magic for the first time, was amazed that Rein could make such a big bubble of water. He once asked Chris to show him the hell, but because Chris' element was the wind, Anne couldn't see it.

Rein started trying to form those bubbles into something. As hard as Anne tried to see, she still did not know what form Rein was making.

“Can you see Anne? It was a rose!” An impatient Hera finally told Anne.

“Hmmm, oh yes it seems like I can see it a little bit, because the shape is big I can see in more detail. Turns out roses have a complicated shape.” Anne was amazed to see the shape of the rose for the first time, although it was not very clear due to the transparent water.

“I'll try to make it bigger again.” Rein cast another spell and the bubble grew to almost the size of Anne's body.

“Come make squirrels!”

“No, this alone is already very difficult.” Rein was tired of facing his never-satisfied sister.

Anne slightly retreated as the bubble continued to grow in front of her. He kept retreating to see more clearly. He could not take his eyes off the bubble.

“Ah, it looks like this is the maximum limit of the big bubbles I can make right now. My magic uses the water that is in this environment, and it looks like the water around here is up.”

“Oh? So the element brother did not come out from inside the body? But my magic requires my body's energy.”

Anne was so amazed to see such a large bubble of water that she tried to touch it. It felt strange, holding water without getting wet. It turns out that the surface of the water is very soft and slippery.

“Ah, I haven't told you Anne? You can also control elements of the environment around you, but it's harder to do and control. So for starters, you have to train the energy in your body first.”

“Energy in my own body alone is already very difficult to control, it seems like it will take a very long time for me to be able to control the natural energy ..”

After hearing Chris' explanation, Anne became unsure of becoming a witch in the future.

“Let's just Anne, this is just the beginning. Don't give up.” Chris convinced Anne.

“Anne can magic too? Wow cool! Show me Anne too!” Hera looked at Anne with admiration.

“Ah, I just learned, so I can only make a small light.”

Rein had also never heard of light magic. He canceled his magic and sat looking at Anne in curiosity.

“It's okay Anne, I want to see it! I've never heard of the light witch!”

Anne closed her eyes and tried to release her energy. Little lights began to come out of Anne's hands and hover around them.

“Wah! How funny! It's like a firefly!” Hera is thrilled to see Anne's magic and attempts to capture it one-on-one.

Anne still did not have much energy so she could only make a few balls of light. Hera sounded a little disappointed when Anne was no longer able to emit light. It seems he is not satisfied playing.

Seeing Anne's magic, Rein recalls last night's events. Why didn't he use his magic to make light? At least it will make it easier for others to find it. But it did seem Anne was too frightened to be able to use magic back then.

“Alright, it seems better we immediately return to the duke's residence, because there are still many things that need to be done.” Chris felt better they immediately returned to the duke's residence.

“Ah, wait a minute. Brother Chris I will return to my room for a moment, please take care of them yes.” Rein recalled it seemed like he had something useful in his room. He immediately went out to his room.

“Anne! Here's toyou. Maybe this can be useful if events like yesterday reoccur.”

Rein took out a necklace from the small box and intended to put it on Anne. Anne was a little surprised at the gift she was suddenly given. Anne's face frowned slightly and subconsciously retreated away.

“That's very pretty sister!” Hera was amazed to see the necklace Rein had given to Anne.

The necklace does not look too fancy and does not look flashy. The necklace is made of silver with a dark blue gemstone pendant in the middle.

“I accidentally bought it while looking at magic items, because it might be useful. This necklace could store magic energy and release it when needed. So you can keep your light magic in it, and when you need it, you just rub the gemstone.”

“Ah, thank you very much prince, but I can't accept such a precious object like this.” The necklace looked expensive, so Anne did not dare to accept it.

“Not to think about it, let's just say this is my apology for Hera's behavior yesterday. Besides this is also not an expensive item.”

Rein put the necklace on Anne. This time Anne could not resist. Anne could only duck trying to cover her blushing face.

“Thank you Prince Reinhardt.” Anne bowed in thanks to Rein.

“Ehm, just call me Brother Rein. There's nobody here anyway.” Rein blushed looking at Anne's blushing face.

Anne returned to Yunne Castle with Chris, Collin, and Kent.

Upon arrival at Yunne Castle, Chris plans to teach Anne to manage finances, business, castle maintenance, and so on. Chris can't stay in Terra for too long, so he has to prepare Anne well. Although there is already Collin, important decisions can not be handled by just anyone.

Collin is also looking for a teacher Anne teaches history, politics, and more. With her connections as one of the best butlers, it shouldn't be hard to find a teacher willing to teach Anne.

They decided to talk about it in the break room, Chris discussed his plans to Collin, while Anne sat quietly enjoying her tea.

“Collin, did any duke employees in this castle stop or run away?”

“No sir, they have been working here for a long time and trust me very much.”

“Good. Please monitor and supervise each officer. Are there people who can read and write well? Anne will need someone to help her write.”

“Good sir, will I provide.”

As Chris and Collin chatted, Anne sat daydreaming on the sofa thinking about what she could do. After leaving the palace, he returned to reality. He realized just how lucky it was to have a family as a place to depend. He was envious to see Hera's family very familiar.

Anne fell down gloomily. Brother Chris can't always take care of him, what can he do without Brother Chris? Anne sighed. If I could be like Brother Fricsia, everything would be fine.

“I've contacted some famous acquaintances and teachers in Terra, there will be some who come tomorrow. Miss can decide by herself after meeting directly with them.”

“Make sure there are guards on guard when Anne is studying. We can not relax the security even though we are in the residence of duke.”

“Collin, have you heard from the search team?” Anne, who had been sitting quietly, finally spoke.

“About that ...,” Collin looked a little hesitant and looked at Anne and Chris uneasily.
