Not So Shoujo Story

Admire

I am standing at the front of a mirror. I take off my pendant, and power starts rushing inside my body. I start feeling happy, and my flat facial expression becomes lively with a smile.

"I will never wear this pendant again, for what is hiding this power and happy side of me?"

"Ruby! Breakfast is ready!!"

"Wait!"

I open my door and run to the dining room. My mother cooks beef steak and cream soup, and they are delicious.

"Ruby, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I don't think much about what happened one week ago. My scar was healed by Blood Saint. I am more concerned when the uncle's wedding will be celebrated."

My uncle started coughing.

"Don't tease your uncle like that. Anyway, I heard Father will come home today. We must tell him this good news."

"Valentina, it is also counted as teasing, too. Don't teach someone if you are like that. By the way, let's invite Mister Rondo and Cassia to eat at our house too when Father comes home."

"You all, sthoop, ugh uhuk uhuk."

Damn, this family has no mercy.

At the afternoon, I decided to visit Felis. As usual, I rode carriage and arrived at Mernes. There are more crowns than usual on the Guild Branch.

I arrived at Merned's Manor. A maid welcomed me and guided me to Felis's room. I then sat beside him.

"Felis, you know, since I acquired authority, I really want to change the fate of yours to you wake up, but I'm scared of the consequences of that. I don't want you to get involved in the chaotic drama of gods. Felis, if you hear me, I really want to say thanks. That time, I was too scared to notice. After thinking about it a few times, you look really cool, you managed to make this student mesmerized, you damn did it. Take your time and wake up when you are ready. No one is rushing you. The time when you wake up, I will present you my original magic. Well, all my magic is original."

I made a magic cycle, and a fire flower appeared, I put it at the desk.

"Thanks, Felis"

I then open the door and walk out. After closing the door, I lean against the wall.

"Damn, that is so embarrassing. I hope he really did not hear that!"

"What are you saying to him? , confessing your love?"

"No way!"

I watch up and see Countess Mernes.

"No! No! I only said I admire if he is cool!" What is this cliche plot, daamn?

"Really?"

"Yeah!" I immediately change the topic. "When I came here, I saw the guild branch is crowded, what happened?"

"Oh, many people are reporting that they saw a dragon."

"Dragon? how can there be many dragons here?"

"They say it's only a stray dragon, so the dragon hunter starts to hunt it down."

"Ooh, thanks for the information, excuse me."

I ran away, and after I arrived at the main gate, I saw Maria standing near my carriage.

"Hello Maria"

"Ruby!!"

Her eyes are teary and running to me.

"What happened?"
