The old Noble was taken aback, visible at the expression on his face. His body was shaken before he starts 'lecturing' Kira
"Princess, as the soon to be Queen of the Larton Kingdom, you must be mindful of your actions and words. It would be a shame for the Kingdom if you continue acting this unreasonable"
If others heard the Noble, they would surely agree with him. Not knowing that it was just the Noble's petty way to show to the world that he is someone that even the Queen needs to be mindful of
Too bad for him that Kira is kind to the normal citizens but she is prejudiced against the Nobles that thinks too highly of themselves
"Marquees Gor, please answer my question. Do I need the Kingdom or does the Kingdom needs me?" Kira asked with a smile that will make people uncomfortable
The Noble clenches his fist at that. All the influential figures in the Kingdom knows the answer to Kira's question
With the King, Princes, and Dukes' death, she can live her whole life without getting afraid of anything. Just stating who she was is already enough to prevent even the current strongest mage in the Kingdom to offend her
It was the Kingdom that needs Kira and not the other way around
However, with the late King's unscrupulous ways, the Nobles do not have the chance to show that they are Nobles. In other Kingdoms, the Nobles have a huge say on the King's actions and decisions
The Larton Kingdom is different though. Nobles can only tremble in fear in front of the King. They were even treated like trash
Kira is known for being kind to normal people. Because of that, the Nobles thought that she was timid and is someone that they can boss around
Too bad that they forgot that there is a difference between being kind and being a pushover
Kira is definitely kind but her kindness has its limits! Nobles will pay the price if they want to anger her
Gor's eyes narrowed as his anger was reflected a bit on his eyes. It looks as if he will attack the Princess any moment from now
Kira waved her hand and the large ball of water carried Cairo away. "Does the Marquees intends to do something that will be seen as a treason?" Kira asked coldly that further igniter the Noble's anger
"Princess! Don't forget to respect the Nobles and the Elderly! How can you be fit to be the Queen if you are like this?"
Kira almost laughed at that. She might not be as sophisticated as they want her to be but she will make sure that the average citizens will lead better lives. She doesn't want the Nobles that were leeching off normal people for their own good telling her that she's unfit to be a Queen
The Princess's veins became visible before they turned into a golden color. "This, this is the reason why I am fit to be the Queen" Kira said while staring straight at Gor's eyes
"I am the only one that has this and I am also the only one that can keep this Kingdom intact. Marquees, can you prevent other Kingdom from attacking the Larton Kingdom? If your answer is yes, I'll gladly give the position of the King to you"
Gor clenches his fist hard to the point that veins were popping on it already. Fortunately, a man wearing silver armor arrived at the scene and stood between the two
"General Kaba, perfect timing, it seems that Marquees Gor intends to make a treasonous act. We should call the Royal Guards to arrest him"
The General sighs at that before pointing his silver sword at the Noble. "Marquees Gor, please calm down. Internal conflicts will only make things worse"
Gor unclenches his fist and his demeanor had a huge change. To secure his position, how can Gor be a simple person? He was just clouded by his arrogance before but it doesn't mean that he was stupid
"I apologize for my earlier misconduct. I hope that the Princess will be merciful to this old man"
A sneer formed in Kira's face that irritated the Noble but he didn't dare show it on his face. "General, as a punishment, raise the Marquees' tax by fifty percent. I want the records to be clean and if I learned that the Marquees did not pay enough taxes, their whole clan will be charged with treason"
After saying that, Kira flew in the air along with Cairo that was looking at her with amazement in his eyes. Cairo might not know a lot of things yet but to be a Noble in a powerful Kingdom, how can Gor be weak? Too bad that in front of Kira, he was reduced to nothing
"You are amazing" Cairo commented causing Kira to look at him while a smile formed on her face. "Of course! I won't let anyone bully any of us!"
"I'll become strong to help you" Cairo replied and Kira shakes her head helplessly. "I want you to be strong but as much as possible, enjoy your childhood days"
Cairo didn't answer after that as his views were once again different from what Kira has. For Cairo, he should work really hard as long as he is still young so that in the future when he becomes a powerful mage, he can then enjoy his life without any worries
"Where are we going?" Cairo asked after some time. "I was about to have you accompany me with the choosing of my dress in the Coronation but since you were injured, it would be better if you rest in your room"
"I thought you didn't care about being a Queen or what. Why do you want to choose a nice dress?" Cairo asked in puzzlement
"It's true that I don't really care much about the position of the Queen but since a lot of lives will be on my shoulders, I should dress nicely for them, right? I can be stubborn in front of the arrogant Nobles but I want to be presentable in front of normal people "
Cairo just shakes his head at that. He doesn't understand Kira's logic at all. Well, Kira didn't say all of her reasons. She might not be a "woman woman" but Kira is still a woman. How can she show herself in front of the whole Kingdom without wearing nice clothing?
After some time, the two arrived at Cairo's room and Kira left so that the kid would rest
However, as soon as Cairo was left alone, he starts thinking about the three that offended him. He is not that bloodthirsty but Cairo doesn't want a stronger mage than him that is his enemy to remain alive. He feared that there would come a day that they will come and kill him
Cairo clenched his fist before reading a book about biology again. He should really have his own lab soon so that he'll be able to make the serum that can make his blood boil about ten times without any problem
There are a lot of things like that in the market but there is a downside to it. Even if the formula was made by someone that is of the same race as you, everyone's body was still different
A potion or drugs can only show its truest and extreme potential if the one that will use it is the one that made it. The mages will make some adjustments to the formula so that it will be a perfect fit for their bodies
Even a single percent difference in compatibility will make a huge difference!
That is why mages that focus on researching something like alchemy will only mostly use potions that are made by themselves
Cairo read for a while before he put several things on top of his large table. He doesn't have his own lab yet but Cairo already have some things that he can use for research purposes
Cairo picked one of the needles and poked his finger with it causing a drop of blood to come out from him. The kid removed the blood on his finger using a clean plastic-like thing and spread it in a thin sheet of glass
The kid then put it in the magic microscope and peek at his lively blood cells. After some time, Cairo drop a certain liquid on his blood and watched the two substances' reaction through the use of a microscope
Cairo saw that his blood cells slowly approached the new substance before they tried absorbing it. The blood cells then grew a bit larger before they died in a matter of seconds
Since Cairo already had the formula for the blood strengthening serum, he already tried making several batches of it but all of them are failed product like this one
The formula is quite easy to do as it was the first-ever formula that the past Cairo made. It was perfect for the acolytes but Cairo still needs to pour a lot of time into further researching it
Cairo was still not that familiar with the process of making the formula and having his own lab will help him a lot
