Here's your tea, your highness.
"Thanks Kiara"
"Thank big sis Kiara"
"Your welcome"
As Kiara said that she left us three alone. But if I am being honest, I think she is going to tell our parents about what is happening.
So for now, I need to make these two understand that sneaking out is bad. What? Me planning to escape this place is bad.
Heck, I just don't want to die at the hands of my own relatives, nothing else, nothing more.
"Look, you two, you need to understand that sneaking out without permission is bad and will do you no good."
"But, big brother, we just want to play with you."
She said that as she tilted her head.
Guh, my heart. Seeing her act cute is unbearable, but I must fight it.
"Haaa" releasing a huge sigh, I calmed myself down, and continued.
"Remember you promised not to do this again last time remember."
"Yes, but mom grounded us for a week, so that means it is okay to go out now, right?"
"No, that's not what she- haaahh."
She's acting smart right now. This is hard.
"Fine, then let's play outside till our moms get here."
"Yehay! Let's go, Dylan."
"Yes sis."
It's hard to teach sense to them since they just want to have and are just acting spoiled. So for the next few hours, I played with them till someone took them.
"Thank you for looking after them."
"It's not much, but how did they escape again?"
"That we also don't know, even though there are a lot of trap doors in the castle. We don't know much about it."
"I see"
"Brother, can we play again next time?"
"Uh, sure, but not here. I will visit you guys next time."
"Ehhh, you only come once every three months; we want to play every day."
"Hey, your brother is working hard on his studies, so don't disturb him. Speaking of which, you two should also work hard on your studies."
"Hmph"
"Haa." Sighing, she looked at me and said. "Although I say that, I also think you should visit us more often."
"I'll try."
"Well, good bye."
"Good bye, Lady Leticia, and to you two as well; see you next time."
"Okay, take care, brother."
"Bye-bye."
As we said our goodbyes, I walked back to my room.
"How long is it again till Professor Philip returns?"
"I think it would be two weeks at most, Your Highness."
"I see"
Saying that I went into my room.
Now then I have two weeks before he returns time to finish my plans.
~~~~~~~~~~
Today I made a plan for myself to attempt creating a core. Though I know there are risks, I still think it is better to get out of here and escape. I really don't want to get caught up in this royalty nonsense.
And I made tons of preparations for this day. Letters, essentials, and custom weapons made by yours truly.
I checked the path I was going to take and made many adjustments for it.
"Let's see how it goes."
Sitting down on my bed, I circulate my mana at a slow to fast rate.
Then, following the circulation, I started to create a magic circle that is guided by my path.
Professor Philip taught me that a path will form when a person uses their mama or moves their bodies in certain patterns, creating a memory channel from one's own cerebral cortex performed during the sending of network messages from the nerves.
In short, my body remembers what I do, and my power roots create patterns based on what they receive from the body and the brain.
And for me, I chose three paths and practiced them over time and diligently. But for it to be physically available, I would need to create a magic circle that would create a core with that certain function.
That is why I created three magic circles and made them resonate with one another.
But
"Guh kohoh kohoh blergh. Glug"
I suddenly threw up blood during the process.
"Haaa, I knew it was dangerous, but throwing out blood was beyond my expectations. Now then, how should I explain this to Kiara?"
After contemplating what happened, I started to reorganize my plans.
Currently I am injured, but running my mana throughout my body will speed up my healing process.
This is what I learned during these two years, so after a few hours, my internal injuries are mostly healed.
So I continued my activity, but instead of doing it in bed, I changed my focus to standing up instead.
Circulating again and then a backlash, but this time I stopped and readjusted my work and then continued.
This process goes on for a whole week. I tried many ways to implement a resonance between the three magic circles.
I tried many ways to synchronize it, including body movements, breathing, images, sequences, patterns, and many more.
The results were devastating. I broke my bones, I popped a blood vessel, I got a headache, and I had many more painful experiences.
But to no avail. But that doesn't mean I would stop there with no results.
After a week, I tried to combine the principles behind the three paths I chose, and there was a huge amount of progress that was beyond what I was expecting.
I became tolerant of the pain, and I am hanging out well from it, and the damage became less and less.
This has gone for three days, and I did my best at creating my core as well as cleaning my bloody mess.
And now I am here in my bathroom to automatically clean up my mess.
I am really glad that my bloodline ability was healing me during these past few days. But do bloodline abilities evolve? Because mine seems to be evolving during these past few days.
Thinking about it makes me want to learn more about my bloodline's abilities.
I would later learn in the future that my bloodline ability was not what I thought it was.
And as I continued, huge progress happened.
I created my magic circle smoothly this time, and as time passed by 4 hours—I synchronized the three magic circles inside.
Synchronizing and creating magic circles is easy due to my constant practice. Now the next part is forming my core by passing the mana collected to these magic circles.
Here I made the magic circles turn and spin around, forming the shape of a sphere. I let it go slowly and made it faster as time passed.
I don't know how long it is, but I am almost finished creating it. Now it is taking shape as all of my accumulated mana hardens and forms a round sphere of a core.
Boom
Inside me An explosion occurred, dispelling all unwanted elements in my body and hardening my core.
Haaa
I exhaled as I felt the changes within me.
And here I learned that my magic core does not only store mana but also purifies it to make it easier for the user to use.
So this is why everyone said that creating a core is essential, not only because it acts as a power source but also because it is a purifier.
I can feel that there is still mana that is not compatible with me. But it is still used as some sort of fuel for my main element.
"Nice, and from what I see, I can also use other elements easily as long as they aren't high-ranking spells or techniques."
Good thing I finished this before Professor Philip came back. Now I need to stabilize myself to prepare for my escape.
Saying that I got out of the bathroom and slowly examined my body.
~
After two days of studying my core, I have not yet fully comprehended its full potential. And now I am done preparing to leave.
I am almost ten right now. It is like how a certain trainer started his journey. The problem is that I have no consent from my guardians.
"Is something the matter, your highness?"
"Ah no, I was just thinking about this report that the professor gave me. After all, he is almost back, right?"
"Oh, are you not done yet?"
"No, I am already finished. I just did some checking to see if there was a need to change some parts of it."
"I see Professor Philip is a little picky about giving you assignments after all."
"Yeah, good thing it isn't really that hard. But just to make sure you know."
"I understand."
We continued to talk, and from our conversation, I gained a little insight into this country's economy.
Because of it, I know what to do afterwards. And as time passed, it was almost midnight.
And it is now time to leave this place.
I already left letters for everyone under my desk and notes to Kiara about how I wanted them distributed. Well, she can give it to them directly, but anyhow, let's leave.
Using the cover of the night, I donned my cloak made from Titan's shell. And escaped through the secret passage my siblings took.
There I put to use what they taught me; as I opened the passage, there was a magic circle where the mama needed to be inserted. And I need to power a certain area of the location chosen.
I then activated the magic circle beneath me and chose the location of the node I had chosen. I already tried it before, so I already know what to expect.
When it was done, I was looking around. It's the same. Well, I already expected this, now then if I remember correctly, this should be the area to which I need to go.
