Chapter 58: Sebastian

"Well Madam Zyla knows me already but as the both of you young misses are probably new here, my name is John Lionheart but please just call me Mister John. It's a fairly common first name so I used the same name even in my disguise." John said with a friendly voice.

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my name is Althea " Thea froze mid curtsy, realizing she wasn't sure what last name to use.

"Ewald, Althea Ewald." Lily finish interrupted with a smile, to which Thea simply nodded in understanding.

"Uuhm, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my name is Mia Kurai." Mia innocently followed Thea's example, trying to copy her curtsy even though she wasn't wearing a dress, but pants instead.

Since the morning they had set out, Thea was wearing a simple dress with some adventuring gear covering her budding breasts, Lily was wearing a long dress and Mia her slave clothes.

Although Thea did feel guilty about her needing to wear those clothes, her clothes wouldn't fit her and Lily didn't have any sowing materials.

As the finished her curtsy when Lily had completed her greeting she had noticed a change in Johns expression.

"Madam you had a daughter?!" John, loudly asked with a surprised expression.

"Fufufu, that's right, I have been living in my forest cabin, for the past 30 years so no-one would know. Would you be a dear and spread the news, ohh and ask Mary to come by." Lily asked.

"Alright, when I get back to my property I'll send Mary a message and let the rest of the nobles know about this piece of news." John said while nodding.

After that introduction Lily asked John about a few things in relations to what had happened over the last 30 years, but before John could properly start explaining a knock came from the door before it opened.

They made it out the guards post and found a large white and black carriage before them. Sebastian gestured towards the open carriage door, that had some steps leading up to it. Lily took the lead again with excitement and pulled the girls into the carriage.

'Huh I really was expecting the inside to look bigger than the outside, but in the end this isn't a novel or anime I'm in.' Thea thought to herself while getting in the carriage.

Although the inside wasn't bigger, there were soft, comfy seats and to the side, opposite the entrance, were some sweets and drinks as accommodations.

When all three girls were seated, Sebastian closed the door and seconds later the carriage started moving. It wasn't awfully bumpy but the occasional bump was there, luckily they were sitting on soft seats so the ride wasn't uncomfortable.

As Thea had started gobbling sweets down, Lily looked at her and giggled as she knew her daughter had a thing for sweets.

"Ahem." Lily coughed to get Theas attention.

"Even though everyone working on my estate knows my real identity, I tend to keep using this appearance as I hold a lot of power while being 'Zyla Ewald' but not to the point of being worshipped like normal. Ohh and do try to give some sweets to Mia." Lily said casually.

Thea blushed when she realized she had been selfishly eating everything. As wrong as it felt, she handed over some sweets to Mia and even some to Lily before she started nibbling on the cookie she was holding.

"Mia, I think it is about time you know that my real name is Lily Magna, do try to keep my name a secret from anyone outside my estate, in my estate, please call me Lily." Lily said seriously earning an equally serious nod back from Mia as she nibbled her own biscuit.

"Althea, I think you should use your inspect skill on me again, If I am correct with my guess about how my transformation spell works, you should see a different 'status', was that what you called it again? Well anyway try it out." Lily suggested.

Although Thea was confused, as even if someone changed their appearance their stats stay the same, further proven by Johns stats. Choosing not to think too much about it she simply followed her mothers instructions and inspected her again.

Instead of the usual status, what appeared made her eyes and mouth go wide open in shock.
