Chapter 24 In a Dream

I walked back to the group and noticed that Ciara and Marchioness Cleione as well as many of the servant staff have also gathered around. I feel really excited, but also extremely drained. I will need to work on the efficiency of that spell and any other combination magics I make in the future.

"Wats, you never cease to amaze me." Marquis Richards is the first to comment as I approach the group. I try not to show how tired I feel.

"Thank you, teacher, without all your support I would never have managed to do this," I answer back happily

"Onii-chan, that was amazing!!" Ciara says running up to me and jumping into me to give me a hug.

"Hahaha thank you, Ciara. I think we should celebrate with some ice cream, don't you think?" I ask playfully.

"No!" Ciara firmly answers back

"No? But you love ice cream. Why can't your onii-chan celebrate with some ice cream?" I ask back playfully

"Because some is not enough. We have to have all the ice cream! And Warty Pig roast, and Chocolate cake and a whole feast. Combination magic is a big thing..." Ciara says beaming with a smile while listing off delicacies.

"I guess I can go hunt some earthen warty pigs?" I ask

"That wouldn't be much of celebration of your accomplishments now would it?" Marchioness Cleione interrupts

"Aunty?" I ask a little confused

"We can't have the guest of honor being the one hunting the food. We shall hire the best chefs in the region and throw a proper banquet." Marchioness Cleione continues with a smile.

"No, aunty that's too much." I try to dissuade her

"Nonsense, this discovery will change the world. A banquet is not nearly enough." Marchioness Cleione insists.

"Aunty, I will gladly call my parents. They would both be quite interested in the topic as well." Princess Anne adds as she starts walking away with Marchioness Cleione

"Ooh, good idea. Would you ask them to also prepare what we discussed before? I think this is a perfect opportunity." Marchioness Cleione happily adds

I turn to Cara "Umm what they discussed before?" I ask her

"Yes, everyone here wants to truly reward you, and so we discussed a few ways on how. As of right now, it is going to be a surprise so I can't tell you anymore." Cara says with a smile. She then goes after her mom, dragging Ciara with her

I try and ask everyone, anyone, but they all just smile and avoid the question. They definitely know something. Well except our new members Circe and Colna who look just as confused as I do. When I looked over at Colna she is asking Quin and Francesca a bunch of questions so I decided not to bother them. Circe is still staring out shocked. She should probably lie down somewhere. I signal one of the other maids. The maid leads Circe into the house to help her get better.

"You're pushing yourself too hard again." I hear someone whisper

I turn and find Lilin next to me. "What do you mean by that?" I ask back

"she means you are clearly tired, you haven't slept in days because I know you. When you get excited about something like this, you don't stop for rest. You just keep pushing forward regardless." Beph comes in and adds

"Nii-san you should go upstairs and get some rest. Anne and Cara also agreed that you need to get some sleep, which is part of why they lead everyone away." Lena finally adds
