48 Her Little Play

When Charles woke up after fainting, what he did was to look for his daughter first but he was stopped when Luke blocked him by the door of his room.

"I need to talk with you." Luke said with a serious look.

"We can talk later, I just had a terrible nightmare about my daughter. I need to go and see her!"

I need to see my daughter!

Luke smiled which confused Charles. He went in the room and locked the door. "We are currently preparing for Violet's funeral. You've been unconscious for five days that's why I handle it all."

"C... Come again? What do you mean by... Violet's funeral?" He could feel his chest tightening once again.

"Please calm down, the doctor said that it is bad for you to have an heart attack again."

"HOW CAN I NOT CALM DOWN RIGHT NOW?!!" He panted after shouting to Luke. "M-My daughter... is she.. is she really de-

"She's alive." Luke said with a smile. "So calm down. The body we saw is Violet's fake body."

The pain Charles was feeling was suddenly fading, he couldn't believe his ears. "She's... alive? But... that body..."

"A forbidden magic was used."

He heard something about this kind of forbidden magic. Who would dare to such a thing?! Especially to his daughter?!

"Since I've marked Violet, I can use my magic to see her and monitor her actions-

"Let me see her! I need to make sure that she's really alive!"

Luke nodded, we was watching Violet's actions since then. One thing he knows, Violet didn't want to come back right now, it was a good thing that she has some strong companions with her but he still couldn't help but get worried about her.

He walked towards the mirror before he bit on his thumb and pressed it on the mirror. The blood on the mirror spread before an image started appearing.

Violet was in a forest with three other people.

"It's really her!" Charles smiled upon seeing Violet alive and well. He touched the mirror's surface and sighed in relief. "But why? Why would she leave us?"

"According from what I listened for the whole five days, she wanted to be an adventurer and to visit different places. She didn't want to be a noble and be kept in one place."

Luke was staring at Charles, watching how he'll react but he was surprised to see when Charles started laughing out loud. "Hahaha! My daughter is so cruel for leaving me like this!"

"..." Did he became a crazy person now? Why is he laughing while saying that?

After calming down, Charles mood became better. "She could have told me this instead of giving me a surprise about her fake death! Ah, I will have to give her a good scolding once I see her." He chuckled. "But this part of her... it's just like her mother."

"Just like her mother?"

"Yes, my wife didn't want to stay in one place for too long. She was someone who loves visiting different kind of places, I even accompanied her in some but I was finally able to make her stay by getting her pregnant."

"..."

"Maybe I should use the same thing to make Violet stay with me?" Luke smirked. He didn't mind doing the same for his lovely 'sister'.

Charles looked at him and smirked back. "As much as I don't want to give my precious daughter to anyone, I trust you with her, besides, I don't mind having grandchildren to accompany once I retire from my work."

To be honest, Charles actually find Luke similar to him. He can see his younger self on Luke that's why he knows that Luke will definitely treasure his daughter.

"For now, we have to put on an act, father. We have to help my 'sister' in her little play." Luke smiled. "Now that her engagement with Archduke Spade has been cancelled, we can't let him know that she's actually alive."

Now everything was settled for him, all he has to do is bring back Violet and make her his wife. The sooner it is, the better.

"Indeed, indeed." Charles stared at Violet's beautiful face since she reminded him of his wife, everything about Violet reminded him of his wife, even this part of her.

Zhou Yiren never really thought that being an adventurer like in the games she played could be fun, maybe because her companions were actually strong magicians and fighters? That's why their lives were never at risk whenever they fought some monsters on their way?

Light and Dark magicians are very rare but who could have thought that she would end up meeting Adventurers with an affinity to Light and Dark magic.

Summer and Blaze Volantes were both light magicians, they were the children of a couple who lives in the mountain. Maybe it was because the heavens pitied the couples that's why it granted them two powerful children. Summer has an affinity to Light magic alone while Blaze has an affinity to Light and Wind magic, aside from that, he has an overwhelming speed and strength that could rival any S rank magicians.

Meanwhile, Voldik Umbrakalns is a child of a dark elf and a human and most of his features was inherited from his father that's why he didn't have dark skin tone like how dark elves would have.

Dark elves are known to be a very dangerous magical creatures because of their affinity to Dark magic. Yes, dark magic are common in their clan. While White elves, the usual elves with pale skin and white hair would always have an affinity to Light magic. That's why these two kinds of elves are always on war with each other but in this era, these two kind of pure blooded elves has vanished from the human realm. The human realm is now filled with mix blooded elves making theur affinity to Light and Dark magic rare.

Anyway, Zhou Yiren found out that Blaze was aspiring to be a Hero like those of the legend while Summer was helping her brother in this.Voldik on the other hand didn't cared about this but because of his love for Summer, he decided to join them.

Zhou Yiren was walking behind them, watching the group of three have their conversation with each other.

Her eyes darkened as she looked at them. Ever since she heard that Blaze wanted to be a Hero, she started disliking him for some unknown reasons.

Although she couldn't do anything about what she feels since she finds this party really useful. Summer was helping her out in controlling her Light magic while Blaze was teaching her how to fight with swords.

"We should rest here for tonight. Summer and Vivian will go gather some food for dinner while Blaze and I would gather some woods."

Zhou Yiren went down from her horse before she walked towards Summer. "Hey Summer, when will we reach the Euphorbia city?"

It has been four weeks now and they were still on their way. They encountered some towns and stayed there for a day or two before they continued heading out. Zhou Yiren could tell that they were leaving the Kingdom of Rosse because of the towns they visited.

"I... don't know?" She turned to Voldik. "When will we arrive to the city, Vol?"

Voldik took out the map and looked at it. "Hm. According here, the city should be nearby. We probably would reach the Euphorbia city by tomorrow-

"The map is updside down." Zhou Yiren commented since she approached him and took a look at the map.

"..."

Blaze started laughing out loud upon hearing what Zhou Yiren commented.

Summer was looking in surprise at him. "VOLDIK!! How could you?!"

"I did said I can read but I never said I can read maps... I tried tho." His long ears started becoming red as he looked away, feeling so embarrassed right now.

"No wonder we would always reach the places we want to go in a month or two despite how others said that it was just nearby!"

"I tried telling you two that I don't know how to read maps... but you wouldn't listen."

"That's because you can read letters! So we obviously thought that you can read maps!" Summer was fuming in anger right now, her face was red and she was glaring coldly at the poor Voldik.

Zhou Yiren pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed heavily. She couldn't believe that she was going in an adventure with a bunch of idiots.

Aside from their fighting skills, their brains were all full of air.

I don't know whether to feel lucky or not?

She grabbed the map from Voldik and turned it upside down. She frowned upon seeing that they needed to go back since Euphorbia city was in the south of the Rosse kingdom. Right now, they were in the opposite end.
