I stared at the gemstones I'm holding. How the hell can i use these if i don't know how to use mana. No one taught me how to control mana. How am I suppose to use these gemstones Prince Harrith gave me. I look at Harrith.
…
After I handed her the gemstones she keeps on staring at it. What is she thinking?. Then she suddenly look at me and look back at the gemstones. Don't tell me she didn't know how to use mana?.
" Cleo do you know how to use mana?." Her eyes grew bigger when i said those words. Did i hit the mark? She look down and blush. That look only means she doesn't know how to use mana.
" Tell me Cleo so I can help you with your mana. I can teach you how to activate your mana."
She smiled at me and said. " how am I supposed to learn mana in just a short amount of time.?" She said.
She and I aren't the same, her body has 30% of mana and i don't understand why. Why? Is her mana so little. Was it because of her commoners blood.? But she is still a Richards. She possess mana. In the Richards kingdom all the children of the king must possess Mana that can regenerate so as we speak to heal. We as the princes and princesses of this kingdom we must protect the king with our mana. How foolish this law are. We the children of the king must be his shield. Then all the princess must be bound to a political union. Those law i despise and this kingdom I hate so much.
I clenched upon thinking those stupid laws of this kingdom. I look at Cleo who some how is fixated to the gemstone i gave her.
" Cleo, you must know that before you could go to the old archive you must know how to control your own Mana. We also need to know what kind of Mana you possess."
Her face is a little bothered but she is willing to learn.
" Then how will i be able to control my mana if i only have a few weeks left?" She asked me worriedly.
Her eyes says it all. Determination, will power and stubbornness, but those 3 can be her key to escape in this pretentious kingdom.
" This Carnelian gemstone" I took the carnelian in her hand and place it on the table. " Is use to control Mana. Then this Ruby gemstone is for mana regeneration." I place the ruby beside the Carnelian. These two gemstones help one another. "To tell you honestly you do have a small amount of mana in your body. This is very unusual for a Richards child. "
I saw her look down and stared at the gemstone on the table.
" Lets just say that because of your mother's blood line you are having insufficient mana. I read it in a text book before, that there are instances that 10% of the royal off springs bloodline comes from the mother and as for you. Most of your mana come from your mother.There is also one more reason." She look at me with enthusiasm in her face.
" You still haven't activated your mana gate."
" Mana gate?" She asked me. Doesn't she know that there is a mana gate. But every princes and princesses in this palace must know those. I just realized that she must have been taught differently from us. I gritted in grieve. How can they do that to her. Doesn't the chancellor look in this. I must speak to the chancellor about this. They neglected Cleo way too much. If she will represent as a child of Richards they will for sure look down on her. Her lack of knowledge in mana will lead her to death.
I must explain to her what mana gate is before we could proceed to controlling her mana.
" You see these?" I pointed my chest directly to my heart. " these is where our Mana regenerate. The more your mind concentrate the more it regenerates. The heart function most of our manas it circulates all throughout our body and every mana has a unique color that we can distinguish. Do you see these?" I need to test if she can see my mana.
" Its green?" I sigh when she did saw my mana. Now I can proceed yo the other parts.
" aside from circulating your mana through your entire body you must know first how to combine your positive and negative energy." Her eyes grew bigger when she heard me say combine.
" How is that possible.? Positive and negative can never be combined with each other. Those two are opposite." This is how things gets complicated. She really is clueless.
"That is why the key to control your mana is to combine those two. Combining your positive to negative energy took much practice but as a child of a Richards we can manage to do that as early as 5. If we are taught correctly. Don't worry i will teach you how." I can see frustration in her eyes. She knew from the start that she has been taught differently. This will test how a Richards blood run inside you.
" then how can i learn to combine positive and negative energy.?"
I can see that she is willing to learn. But i cant teach her now. I can sense someone's watching us. I do know who is it. I send motion to her brain that we can talk silently for a minute.
"I will visit you later in your bed. Tell your handmaiden to get some water and salt and a lot of papers and pen."
