The Neglected Princess

12. Family Painting

After dinner, Olivia came to her father's office. Olivia did not know why she was suddenly asked to come to see her father. He stood for quite a while before finally knocking and opening the door of Victor's study.

"Dad, it's me" said Olivia slowly.

"Come in" replied Victor.

Olivia came into the room and closed the door. He saw Victor sitting down and writing something.

"Wait a minute. I'll finish this first, ", Victor said.

"Yes. I don't need to rush. I'll wait while looking at the book. What can?" ask Olivia for permission.

"of course. Look at it and take it if you want to" replied Victor, who refocused on his work.

Olivia looked around Victor's study. Although he had come several times, he never carefully observed the workspace because of the focus on hearing what his father said. Olivia saw a large painting on the side of the bookshelf. It was a family painting. There was Dad, Mom, who looked young, both his little brother and also he who was still a baby carried by the Mother.

"What is this, Olivia's mother? Wahh ... very beautiful," Olivia's inner.

Olivia watched closely and felt the painting. He thinks Victor is very cool, because he might still look young. Just like Octavius. His sight was distorted to see the two boys who were none other than Octavius and Owen who still looked small.

Olivia smiled, "It turns out this is the face of Octavius and Owen as a child. They're so cute. They also look handsome. Indeed yes, their good looks have been seen since they were children," Olivia's inner self.

Olivia looked at the figure of a woman sitting holding a baby. Olivia groped and suddenly she cried unconsciously.

"Why am I crying?" olivia wiped her tears.

"May I feel sad too? does Olivia miss her late mother? So that I who possessed her also felt," Olivia's mind.

Victor approached and touched his wife's painting, "How's your mother? very pretty, right?" ask Victor.

Olivia was shocked, "A-dad ..." she muttered looking at Victor. He immediately stared at the painting, "Yes. Mother is very beautiful," replied Olivia hoarsely.

Victor looked at Olivia, "What's the matter? You crying?" Ask Victor.

Olivia smiled, "Come. As I stared at Mother's painting, I suddenly shed tears. It may be a form of my longing for Mom" replied Olivia.

"That's it, huh? do you want to come visit your mother's grave tomorrow?" ask Victor.

Olivia nodded her head, "Of course you will. All this time we never knew where Mother's grave was" replied Olivia.

"Dad, don't keep apologizing. I know, Dad must have his reasons. Although Dad did not pay attention to me in detail, but Dad will always meet the needs of my life since childhood until I was this big. If you really are a selfish person and don't care, then you won't give Auntie a babysitter monthly money for me, will you?" answer Olivia.

"You know what, son? Actually I'm always thinking about you. Even if it is on the battlefield. I remembered the words of your late mother shortly before she died. Your mother said, I should raise you and your brothers well. However, you can't do that because of Dad's incompetence. As a result, I have to hand you over to the nanny and can only give you money to meet all your needs. While you must continue to work for the welfare of the region. Father also handed over your brothers to the kestaria commander for training. However, the one that succeeded was only one of your Big Brother because the other one was not talented holding a sword. I don't know how to take care of a child and I just know how to give money" Victor explained.

Olivia smiled, "Do you know? I am grateful to be my daughter. Not everyone is as lucky as I was born the son of a rich man. Didn't they? Don't blame yourself, Dad. At least Dad made us feel all the good things about the money you make" Olivia said.

Victor smiled, "Hahaha .. This is your base," said Victor.

"Oh, yeah. I heard what happened at the academy. Do you really not know if you have abundant mana?" victor looked at Olivia.

"That's what confused me. Because it is too abundant, is it possible that I do not feel it? It's weird, right? I trained every day for six months and only had a weekend off. Do you know anything? Just jujut, I couldn't believe I could break three crystal balls of mana meter." replied Olivia.

Victor thought silently. His forehead was wrinkled, because he remembered something. He just realized, if his late wife also has abundant mana. And because he did not manage to control mana, whichever blew up and destroyed his wife's internal organs. And that's why his wife died.

"What Olivia will also .. "inner Victor. He shook his head quickly, "No, no. Can't do. The same cannot happen. I need to be able to help my daughter control the mana in her body, so as not to explode and endanger her life" said Victor.

Seeing the Father who was just silent, Olivia thought that her father was just as confused as her.

"Are you thinking about something? Why is Dad's expression like that? Dad must be confused just like me," Olivia's mind.

Olivia stared at her palm, "How can I have abundant mana? is this really real? It's not like it's written in the novel. Isn't Olivia so weak and can't even protect herself, then where is this? Want to be divorced like anything, I still do not understand and do not believe. Is the author of the novel going to release the second season of the novel? Huh, how could that be? this is still entering the plot of the story I read. Well, although the contents are different because I changed the contents a little. Aaahh, sucks. I'm upset to have to guess like this" Olivia said.

"Olivia," call Victor.

"Yes?" olivia was surprised. He looked at Victor.

"Are you having a hard time or feeling something strange in your body? Suppose pain, pain or something else?" ask Victor.

Olivia frowned, "Nothing. As you can see, I'm healthy and fine, right? What's wrong?" asked Olivia to look at her father.

"It's okay. It's just that I'm worried, just in case you're in trouble or even in pain because of which you have. If you feel anything, no matter how small, tell me, okay?" said Victor.

"Yes, Dad. Understand" replied Olivia.

"Although so. Just in case, don't carelessly use your mana for a while until I find a suitable teacher. Anyway, you need to practice controlling mana so as not to harm your body" Victor said.

"I understand, Father." replied Olivia.
