One Month Later:

I was training in the yard and talking to my spirits when I heard the sound of a carriage.

It was the definition of royalty in all its rights.

And with that started, Arc 3 has begun.

I can use Akra freely now without too much of a stamina drain, and I've also unlocked Oxygen and Nitrogen while I'm at it. The usage of these two elements come in handy so much, that I've already felt like I've got many things under control.

Roswaal taught me Al Goa in the last week. Though unwillingly, he did uphold his part of the contract and taught me it properly, with me even able to change the direction of the fireball at will. As expected of the Witch of Greed's pupil. His power is truly frightening.

In the distance, I saw Subaru and Emilia walking through the front gates, and the man in the carriage stepped out to greet them. His presence is terrifying to a commoner, despite the fact that I'm sensing that he's doing his best to keep is aura in.

Wilhelm van Astrea, The Sword Demon. He might just be even more frightening than Roswaal.

I finished my training, and Cahya was sitting on my shoulder, snoring after she finished hers as well. This lead to me and Alchemis going over our options of potential moves. Alchemis has been taught about chemistry by myself, and he's getting the gist of it.

With Oxygen now, I don't even need to find a water spirit, when I can create it myself. I can also create fresh water without having to worry about it being unfiltered, which is quite nice. This also means that I can start using Ice Magic by freezing water with my fire magic, and Alchemis said he'll start working with that now.

Cahya said she'll still need some time before she can use Ul Jiwald, and that's quite understandable, since shooting out a barrage of laser beams is no easy feat for anyone, not even a Great Spirit like herself.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Subaru talking with Wilhelm, and I decided to go over there and have a listen. As I approached closer, I could hear their conversation.

"You do realize you're treading a steep path, right? She's a candidate to become Lugnica's future queen." Wilhelm asked Subaru, his eyes with slight concern.

"Ya, but now we're just a super cute girl and a servant boy, right?" Subaru said. "That's probably what you said when you proposed to your wife, right? That she's the most beautiful in the world."

Oh no, Subaru, that's not good-

"I apologize for my friend's rudeness, he's not so well-informed so he does not know of your history. Sorry about that." I cut in and bowed to Wilhelm while I also forced Subaru into a bow, which made him give me a confused look. I shot a glance at him to hint that I'll explain it later, and he got the message before Wilhelm resumed speaking.

"It's... fine. Well, regardless of the situation, yes. I did think that my wife was indeed the most beautiful woman." Wilhelm said, and our conversation concluded after awhile, before I headed back into the mansion after saying goodbye to the two.

On my way back, a familiar voice sounded behind me. "Who are you, nya? I haven't seen you here before."

I turned around to face the cat-eared demi-human. "Oh! My name's Y/N L/N, and I'm currently staying here to learn magic at the courtesy of the domain's master, Roswaal L Mathers. You are the Blue Knight, one who specializes in healing magic, Felix Argyle, I presume?"

"Yup yup! But how did you know about me?" Felix asked me, obviously curious.

"Well... let's just say I've read a lot of books, and I like to have my info bank updated."
