"I still cannot believe that I am back here as Elestia" Elestia said while staring at her personal maid, Mina.
"Huh? Did you say something my lady?" Mina turned around to face her master.
"Nah....I am talking to myself" Mina didn't say anything and continued to prepare Elestia's outfit for the day.
"Lady Elestia, I am done" Elestia used to prepare herself by her own. Even when Mina insisted, she refused and said that she hated skinship.
It's time for breakfast and Elestia was always invited to eat with the Duke but she refused with an excuse of scared to sully their time with her unmannered eating etiquette.
"I am joining you guys today too" Elestia said to Duchy's head knight, Lucian.
"Sure My lady" Elestia prefer to eat hard buns and with a chicken porridge with them than having a nice delicious toast in an awkward situation.
"Lady Elestia, will you be there today too?" Lucian asked Elestia as she nodded.
"I will wake you up when it's time" Lucian said as Elestia nods again without much words in return.
Why Elestia has been spending her time alone these day? Elestia is now full grown eighteen years old girl. She was taken in just three months ago into the Duchy Mansion. When she arrived, she was not welcomed and everyone looked hostile to her but she choose to stayed down.
"You might be my real bloodline but don't ever think you could drive Carmila out of this house" Elestia didn't say anything and nods like how it should be.
It feels great when the wind gently touch your skin, with the green soft grass becomes your best bed, it feels so peaceful.
"Barrier" Whenever Elestia goes there, a barrier is a must. The wind can go in an out but not a sound or a single person could touch her while she's inside her barrier. Elestia is specialized in support-tank role but she hide it in her past life and thus the soldiers that with her faced with a great casualty during the demon invasion to the Duke Ronin territory but this time it won't be the same. It's Carmila and her mother trap to makes the duke looked down on Elestia. This time, she won't be in the light and shine like how a hero should but she will try to minimize the casualties. But the most important is going back alive.
"Sirene" Elestia fairy, one of the dryads bloodline. Her humming can help people to enhance their physical endurance for 12hours because after Sirene cast the supporting magic, she will deeply asleep and will only awake after 12hours and only then the magic will be casted again but there's a loop for this magic. It's Elestia. At the time, Sirene is asleep, Elestia had to depends on her own mana for using magic and that's is very dangerous. If mana is depleted, magic consumption will be taken right from her life force and could be fatal. The method Elestia has been practicing is the "Meditating". While continuously using her barrier and sleep with the nature. It's a condition where you're actually taking a nap but actually training the Mana consumption.
whenever a magic bearer is sleeping, mana will recover but if mana is being used in a sleep with a great concentration, mana will increase but at this time, the only person who know the method of increasing mana is probably Elestia. This Mana method was actually invented by the great magic tower and actually it was an accident and soon was know as one of the great tower invention.
'Master' Sirene code of stopping my meditation when someone is approaching. Because of Elestia action, many things started to change, in her past life, she is not even close to Lucian. No one know her face and her maid will constantly bullying her under Martha's instructions but this time not only Martha's plan on destroying her reputation within the Duchy territory was completely unsuccessful but seems like the knight protect her as one of their master and the servants likes to talk with her even when her face never changed. She had this blank and emotionless face everyday. Sometimes they find her cute and airheaded. A person with no worry in her eyes. No intentions to make friends or get intimately. It was mysterious how the people greatly attracted to her. She was like a normal commoner and don't have the vibes of nobility but her aura is calming and comforting.
"My lady" Elestia slowly opened her eyes and sat up to watch the beautiful sunset. Duke Ronin territory is near the sea and it really a beautiful place. From the top of the hill where Elestia spending her time alone, she can see the whole town of Ronin and how many people come in and out at the dock.
"Time to go back" The demon invasion is nearing and Elestia has been spending time to make a big plan on protecting the Ronin territory since the responsibility will fall on her hand. The duke said it's a test for Elestia but it was actually suggestions made by Carmila.
