Chapter 47:

‘In reality, it’s a household destined to crumble by itself, even when left undisturbed.’

The Eloy household introduced an impediment that didn’t even register in Philip’s thoughts.

Having amassed so many plots, they reached a tipping level the place, within the authentic story, their affect would immediately vanish with none intervention from the protagonist.

Consequently, Philip had restricted details about them. Most of what he knew was associated to gameplay and proved useful within the sport, however particulars concerning the Eloy household had been of little consequence.

‘When Felicia’s closeness exceeds a sure threshold and destructive occasions happen with the Eloy household, she steps in to resolve them herself. If anybody asks how she manages it, the youngsters are informed they needn’t know.’

Philip recollected.

He may solely speculate that Felicia may additionally be leveraging her household’s energy.

‘Come to consider it, the Oswald household is kind of an enigmatic one too.’

Philip mirrored on his circle of relatives, identified within the realm because the “Hunched Giants,” deeply entwined throughout the world’s workings.

So far as Philip may recall, until it was simply earlier than the unhealthy ending, the Oswald household by no means revealed their true intentions.

“However Felicia assured me she would deal with it with none circumstances.”

With little hesitation, she had put his thoughts relaxed, implying that her talents weren’t an important issue for the Oswald household.

Discovering Felicia had change into a precedence.

Philip made his approach in the direction of the school dorms, intending to fulfill her there.

Felicia was mendacity on her dorm room mattress, showing barely greatly surprised by Philip’s surprising go to.

“At this hour? What’s the matter?”

“I’ve one thing to ask.”

Taking a seat on Felicia’s mattress, he inquired concerning the Eloy household.

“What have you learnt about Rely Eloy? I imagine ranging from there would possibly shed some mild on what’s occurring. It looks like they could have a hand in all this.”

After a short second of contemplation, Felicia started to talk.

“As I discussed yesterday, it’s concerning the means of Rely Eloy ascending to the place of Western Rely.”

“Sure, it was troublesome to fathom.”

“The circumstances are fairly intricate, nevertheless it’s frequent data amongst households with shut ties to the royal household. The Countess didn’t marry Eloy out of real love. Properly, few noble women marry for love, however her case was significantly unlucky.”

Felicia’s somber expression indicated her deep contemplation.

“The Eloy household lacked the authenticity required to change into the Western Rely. Nonetheless, that didn’t imply they couldn’t fulfill their ambitions. If the Rely couldn’t attain the title, he was ready to burn all of the saved wheat within the warehouse and eradicate all of the horses that might change into knights’ companions.”

“If such an occasion had occurred, the Northern Entrance wouldn’t be confronting the demons as they’re now. To thwart the Rely, they might have needed to summon knights who had been going through the demons. It will need to have been a headache for His Majesty as effectively.”

“It was a crafty scheme that appeared inevitable even to those that had been conscious of it. Capital energy was akin to an unseen blade, and earlier than one knew it, it may very well be dangerously shut to at least one’s throat.”

Granted, the royal household wouldn’t have fallen for it if occasions had been peaceable, however the northern demons made all of it potential.

“… Anyway, Rely Eloy went so far as killing the lady who was as soon as betrothed to him with a purpose to marry the princess, disguising the act as an accident. The truth is, our household has Beldian, who was the lady’s escort.”

‘Oh.’

Philip couldn’t assist however be astounded.

Having such a witness would make it a lot simpler to dispel the present scenario. A sheathed sword is probably the most menacing. Even the mere data of its presence would probably deter the Eloy household from taking any reckless actions.

As Philip contemplated for a second, he immediately realized one thing.

“Is it smart to share this data with different households?”

When Philip requested, Felicia squinted her eyes and checked out him skeptically.

“… Is that protected?”

“No, it’s simply that I had an excellent thought unexpectedly. Let me share my plan first, after which you’ll be able to rethink.”

Philip laid out his plan to Felicia, who appeared considerably exasperated.

“Do we actually have to go to such lengths? Isn’t this getting too dangerous? It could be possible, however…”

“We now have a protracted journey forward, and we should clear all obstacles from our path utterly. Half-measures may result in another person stumbling upon them later.”

With a critical tone, Philip mused, solely to listen to the sound of the door opening.

He contemplated whereas stroking the cat. Fortunately, her headache appeared to ease a bit of as she made gentle murmuring sounds.

“It hurts…”

After a number of months, the timid black kitten lastly started to open up, in search of consolation in Philip’s embrace. With a clumsy smile, Philip gently cradled her till she drifted off to sleep.

‘Tomorrow, I ought to meet Privia.’

Luckily, it was the weekend, and Privia, who had no buddies, normally spent her days on the lodging, searching for methods to move the time.

—

“Why is it that you just solely come right here while you’re feeling dissatisfied? Do you assume I can play the position of your guardian?”

Privia mentioned firmly, avoiding direct eye contact with Philip. He handed her a cup of fastidiously ready, high-quality tea leaves.

“Don’t be so distant; it’s not what you assume.”

As she examined the valuable tea leaves he provided, Privia squinted her eyes and requested, “Who informed you I get pleasure from tea?”

“The headmaster,” Philip replied.

“That damned brat by no means adjustments, regardless of how a lot time passes. He’s certain to get into hassle sometime due to his angle.”

Regardless of her phrases, Privia appeared glad as she watched Philip begin boiling water within the tea kettle of their room.

“You’ve introduced some fairly upscale objects. You do have a eager eye for choosing issues, you bloodthirsty demon.”

It was no shock since Philip had introduced the best objects from Joseph’s store. After Philip brewed the tea and handed it to her, she took a sip.

“So, the little kitten spoke up earlier than, however why isn’t she speaking now?”

“Sure, she did converse final night time.”

Tania was performing like an strange cat once more, seemingly relaxed in Philip’s arms after that they had bonded the earlier night time.

“It’s apparent she’s placing on an act. Fairly mischievous, isn’t she? If she doesn’t begin speaking quickly, I’d simply swallow her in a single chunk.”

Each Philip and Tania flinched at her phrases.

“See, she understands every little thing you say. This little furball dares to try to deceive a dragon…”

Observing Philip’s response to how she handled Tania, Privia chuckled.

“It’s potential, proper? I’ve a sense this toddler is aware of one thing about my previous. Her reactions are fairly intense, as if she’s in some way concerned in one thing disagreeable.”

Philip needed to collect data with out scaring or harming Tania. And Privia appeared like the one one who may make it occur.

“When you’ve got sufficient time, it’s a easy activity. Simply put her to sleep, after which you’ll be able to enter her desires. It’s not that troublesome. I’ll do it, however this time, I’ll positively want one thing in return.”

“What ought to I offer you?”

“One thing enjoyable, like a water park or a swimming pool. I would like to have the ability to borrow it every time I really feel prefer it.”

“That’s doable.”

Philip readily accepted the surprisingly simple circumstances.

“For younger hatchlings, sleep magic won’t be appropriate, so go and fetch some milk or one thing heat by your self.”

Following Privia’s directions, Philip grinned. It appeared that the dragon had a gentle spot for cats.

Immediately, Philip stuffed a plate with heat milk and prolonged it to Tania. As he did so, an essential realization struck him.

Along with his thoughts seemingly restored sufficient for coherent dialog, he acknowledged the importance of Tania’s emotions.

“By the way in which, I didn’t ask in your opinion. Would you thoughts if I took a peek into your desires? When you favor me to not, I’ll cease immediately.”

The black cat nodded in approval.

“Thanks.”

With mild strokes of a comb, Philip tended to Tania’s fur till she drifted off to sleep. Quickly, as her gentle purring stuffed the air, Privia spoke up.

“Put together your self. This expertise might not be fully nice.”
