Well dear readers our Lami seems to be interested in wielding a sword. But I am so worried that she won't be able to handle it T-T. I don't want our dear Lami to work hard I want her to be happy. What should I do to stop her, help me. Well I know that she won't stop even if her father says her to stop so we can't do anything. Lets see what will happen.
She was finally able to meet her brother. She felt like they didn't meet for a lifetime (Sister brother love. I envy them). They were so happy and they talked to each other for a while and Lami finally decides to learn how to wield a sword after watching some knights practicing and asked Mr Vilous for permission. He told that she needed to get permission from her father, after that she had a cup of tea with Mr Vilous and headed back to Vernest mansion. After arriving at the mansion she didn't wait for a moment and went straightly to meet her father. She entered her father's study and started to speak to him.
It was the first time she was talking to her father closely. She was afraid to talk in the beginning but she got all her courage together and greeted him. Then he warmly welcomed her he was so happy to see her daughter. He asked about what she came for and asked if she wanted any refreshments and blah blah blah ( He continued his list ). Then she calmly replied that she didn't need any refreshments and she wanted to talk to her papa. He was so happy to listen that and they started speaking. They continued speaking for hours and hours. After a while she mentioned about her wanting to learn how to wield a sword. He was shocked to see such words coming from his precious daughter who is very frail and little. He just ignored the word and continued to drink his tea. Then she realized that her father didn't want her to work hard and is ignoring her words. So she again asked her father that she want to learn how to wield a sword. Then her father calmly replied that he won't approve it and he doesn't want her daughter to suffer. Then Lami told that she want to learn how to wield a sword at her own will. Then her father told that either way he doesn't want to approve it and it was not good for a noble lady to work hard. He told that she won't be able to handle a sword and it was out of question that he would approve it. He knows that Lami is a weak girl from when she was little. But Lami said that she want give it a try. Then her father told that she doesn't even have magic, so he didn't want her to hurt herself. She didn't know that humans also possess magic in this world and she was surprised. Then she started to speak to her father like
" PAPA I MAY NOT POSSESS ANY MAGIC BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I AM A WEAK PERSON. EVEN IF I DIDN'T POSSESS MAGIC I CAN STILL BE STRONG PHYSICALLY. IF I DON'T POSSESS MAGIC THAT JUST MAKE SENSE THAT I SHOULD LEARN HOW TO WIELD A SWORD EVEN MORE BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE ME STRONG. I WANT TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEND MYSELF WITHOUT DEPENDING UPON ANYONE. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF ME AND WON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME. BUT PAPA I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STAND ON MY OWN LEGS WITH YOUR BLESSINGS BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE MY LEGS. I WANT TO WALK IN A PATH WHERE I CAN DO ANYTHING THAT I WANT TO DO WITH NO FEAR . I WANT TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO REPRESENT YOUR GREATNESS AND I DON'T WANT BE YOUR WEAKNESS. AFTER THIS IT IS YOUR WISH TO APPROVE MY REQUEST OR DISAPPROVE IT"
After listening to Lami's words her father was surprised. He always thought that she was a weak little girl and he need to protect her with his life. But to see how she was speaking he didn't know what to say. So he told Lami that he wanted some time to think about what to do with her request and asked her to take rest for the time being. Lami who understood her father's situation just calmly went to her room after greeting her father. Her father couldn't stop thinking about what to do.
He remembered when she was little, people around her would harass her because she didn't have any magic. As a father he felt very sad for her then he decided that she should never be subjected to anyone's abuse. If she starts to learn how to wield a sword everyone will start making fun of her. He didn't want that to happen to his cute little daughter. But then he realized how she spoke to him, she was gentle and fragile child who does't even know how to talk back when someone harasses. But when she was speaking to him she showed the strength of a person who possess high level of water magic. Then again he was confused that their family is a fire magic holder so how could Lami possess water magic. Then he just stopped thinking and just thought that it might have been his imagination. He also thought if there was a chance for a person from a fire magic holder family to possess water magic. But according to some of the books that he read there was only one person who had all 6 kinds of magic but there was no such case where a person from one magic family to get another type of magic. He finally thought that it might have been a coincidence because she was a very skilled person except for magic. He did't want her to work hard but after seeing her determination he couldn't say no. He was in a state where he couldn't say yes or no. So he took some time to say his final word about whether Lami is allowed to learn how to wield a sword or not.
So let's see what will happen in the next chapter, Byeee....
