Chapter 8: Simon

 "Regen is so cool!" Jasmine stated while reaching out of the carriage window.

"It is the largest commercial city in the kingdom after all. You won't be able to find places other than Regen with such enormous amounts of money flowing through its economy in this whole continent!" Jasmine's mother informed her.

"Wow! That's so amazing!" Jasmine was fascinated by the extravagance of the city.

I heard that Regen is one of the core factors why Seldam is so wealthy, Jasmine thought. Looking at the city she thought that it was more than enough proof.

"We're almost there now!" Jasmine's mother told her.

"My heart is beating so fast just thinking about meeting Earl Simon!"

"Aww! My daughter is so cute! She must be so nervous! Don't worry, mommy will hold your hand!" Jasmine's mother hugged her tight.

"Uwaa!" Jasmine choked from the tightness of the hug.

"Is Earl Simon someone that my daughter looks up to since she wants to become a magician?"

"Ye...ah..." Jasmine choked between breaths.

"Earl Simon is indeed a great magician! He became a 7th class magician when he was about the same age as your father. His magic resembles that of a lotus, that's why people call him the red lotus magician! It is said to have taken thousands lives."

"Mother, what kind of person is the Earl?" Jasmine asked.

"Hmmm..." Jasmine's mother thought for a bit, "He's a person with impressive blood-like hair."

"What??"

Jasmine thought about the Earl, she didn't really care if he was 7th class or a red lotus magician. However, one thing did catch her attention, an attack that could kill thousands of lives at once, what kind of strong attack is that? It started to peak her curiosity.

Soon after, the family made it to their destination; Earl Simon's residence.

"Alright kids~" Jasmine's mother said, "Follow me!"

Jasmine jumped out and helped her younger brother down the stairs since he was too short. She picked him up and set him on the ground. Holding his hand as they walked over to their mother.

"Could you be the wife of Earl Welton?" A butler asked Jasmine's mother.

"That is correct." Jasmine's mother responded.

"I will be guiding you to the mansion." The butler bowed and escorted Jasmine's family towards the colossal building.

"You can stay here during the duration of the ball." The butler said, "If there are any issues, please call upon your private butler."

Jasmine looked around the rooms, they were huge! They were even larger than the ones in the Welton residence.

"The Earl has been very considerate of us." Jasmine's mother told her.

"Yeah!" Jasmine said.

"My lady, you may use this room." The butler guided Jasmine to another room specifically to herself.

Jasmine sighed in relief. She was glad that they didn't force her to sleep with her parents at her age. Considering that she was even older than her body's age was.

"Jasmine, come back right away after you finish unpacking." Jasmine's mother told her.

"Alright~!" Jasmine called back.

Jasmine didn't really need much, but she made sure to bring Blair along just in case there was an emergency.

After finishing unpacking, Jasmine walked over to her mother's room where the maids were helping her put on make-up.
