" Oopse..! "
" Oopse..! "
" Oopse again..! "
Keith has already broken four vases by now.
As for the maid, who was looking at all that, she was just confused as to what was going before her.
Although her mind was telling her something was wrong, her heart couldn't help but curse the stupidity of this child.
Her grip on the book became tighter. Her mouth was twisted into a sneer, and she couldn't conceal the grin on her face.
' This bastard, how can he fall down four times in a row '
' Gold, so many gold coins are being wasted. '
' It's so good to be rich '
....
They arrived at the kitchen shortly.
Waiting a few steps ahead of the door, Ray sneak peeked inside. While there were plenty of maids working in the kitchen, he couldn't see Vivian inside.
The maid was just confused and stood next to him, unaware of what he was trying to do.
" Oh.. look like she isn't here, let's go "
In saying this, he beckoned to the maid to follow him, and she merely followed him.
The warehouse was a few meters ahead. Once they got there, Ray did the same thing, and fortunately Vivian was inside.
* Inhale..! *
Taking a few steps back Ray took a deep breath.
' Ok... 1...2...3..'
" Aaaaaaaaahhhh..... ! "
" Auntie... Heeeeeelp....! "
Along with the shout, Ray furiously ran towards Vivian. He had a small droplets of tears in his eyes, and his expression was just pitiful.
That voice was something Vivian could never ignore, whether she was sleeping or almost dying.
In a matter of seconds, leaving all the work on the side, she turned around, opening her arms, she took Ray in her embrace.
* Sniff..! * * Sniff...! *
Ray snuck into her embrace and began crying, or at least acting.
" There..there, Don't worry, everything is fine. With Aunty here, no one can harm you. "
Vivian began to gently caress him while patting his back.
...
*Sniff..! * * Sniff..! *
In half a minute, Ray calmed down.
" Young Master, are you alright? "
" hmm.."
As he shook his head, he snuggled even more deeply in her embrace, to the point that his face was bouncing between her breasts.
Ray didn't care about what Vivian thought of him. It was uncommon for him to be so physically close to her, so he was just enjoying his time.
As for the matter about the maid, it was dealt with the minute he entered Vivian's embrace.
" Do you need water? "
" no.."
Vivian, who saw this odd behavior of his just laughed it off. As for whether it was because she found it childish or maybe she didn't mind Ray being a little perverted, who knows?
Having taken care of Ray, Vivian decided to solve the matter at hand.
" You come inside "
Her voice was cold and devoid of emotion. She was emitting a cold and heavy aura, which caused all the maids in the room to start suffocating.
.....
Puppeteer, the most infamous and feared thief in the kingdom, but that's just a pseudonym. My true identity is Katherine Campbell, a noble of pure blood who hails from a marquis family.
A few days ago, I received a request from a mysterious client offering 10,000 gold coins for stealing a single book.
Although the payment was quite high, but considering the place where I had to steal, I decided to reject the request.
Surprisingly, the person increased the payout and offered me 15,000 gold.
Well, as greedy as I was, how could I reject such a hefty amount of money?
Besides money, I was also curious about what he was seeking. What was it that he was prepared to spend money like water?
After nearly three weeks of planning, I finally got ready for this robbery.
Just as per the plan, I took over the maid's mind when she visited the market in the morning.
Everything went according to plan and I was able to enter the palace without any issues.
Now, I had to search for the book and wait until nightfall before my tamed beast arrives to retrieve it.
At first, I thought this robbery would be a much more difficult task, but surprisingly, everything was going smoothly until I came across a little brat.
...
Looking at what just happened in front of her Kathrine was utterly shocked.
' Did I.... Did I actually get framed by a 5 year old kid? '
Katherine was extremely angry and frustrated, but she showed no such thing on her face.
She was calm and composed, and knew that if she didn't act out correctly, she might as well fail this job.
' But why did he do that? '
' No..'
Suddenly her eyes widened, a thought struck her mind, making her tremble. Though she quickly collected herself, she still couldn't stop thinking about it.
' Did...he? No, he's just a boy, and I've heard that even his magical talent is bad '
' There is no way he found out '
" You, come inside "
Hearing the cold and frightening voice, she quietly entered the room.
.....
" Ray, tell Aunty what happened. "
Kathrine was taken aback by the contrast in her voice, which was sweet and gentle unlike before.
There were rumors about how much Evelyn loved her son, and if those were true, this maid was definitely dead. It's possible that someone will come after her too.
" Aunty, I.... I was at the library when I saw..... this vile woman attempting to steal books.... And then..."
* Sniff..! * * Sniff..! *
" And...then...when...I...said that I... "
'Brat, don't you dare cry, or else I will tie you up and feed you to the alligators.'
Katherine already guessed everything, Ray never really planned to explain anything.
A vague explanation followed by crying will solve everything.
" waaahhhhh.....! "
" waaaaahhhh...! "
And guess what, everything worked as planned.
" There... there... Aunty will take care of everything "
Vivian started patting and caressing him again.
* Sniff..! * * Sniff..! *
" Let's go aunty will make something good for lunch today "
"Hmm.."
Learning that he was getting something good for lunch, Ray was very happy, but containing his happiness, he just shook his head.
" You come to my office "
Vivian said, pointing toward Kathrine, and again her voice was pretty cold and frightening.
" Hmm.."
Katherine was certain she had failed at the plan, but she still decided to wait before giving it up completely.
" Aunty the book "
Keith reminded Vivian that she didn't take the book from her.
Moving forward, she immediately snatched the book from Katherine's hand.
' My.. gold...'
....
Soon after Vivian brought Ray to his room.
" Young Master, do you want to read this book"
Vivian asked, looking at the book she was holding. She was concerned that Ray might not be able to hold it because it was quite heavy.
" Hmm.."
Ray nudged with his hands up front and asked her to give it over.
"Huh...I'll keep it on the bed, after reading just let it sit there, ask Valarie for someone else to pick it up."
Soon after Vivian left the room.
Ray looked at the book that was placed on the bed. Honestly, it was huge. It was almost two-thirds of his own height.
" So this thing is supposed to lead me to some sort of legacy "
From the information he got from the eye of origin, he knew that this book had something hidden in it.
That was also the reason why someone wanted to steal it.
" Well, who cares? I want to form my elemental roots. As for the legacy, I can look for it in future"
....
(I am the Dragon God of Chaos, the leader of the dragon race, and the most powerful being on this planet.)
(This book is my way of passing on my legacy to someone who is worthy of upholding the pride of my dragon race.)
" Boring... Skip..skip.. I don't give a damn about your crap."
Ray understood what this book was for. It was just another means for an old dying person to pass on his great stories after his death.
(Creation or what you call Origin, just as the name suggests, is the origin of everything in this world.
All the elements in this world originate from this element, which is also the reason why this element is the strongest element in this world.)
(Most people think that the creation element is only able to create things, but with enough mastery, you can harness the power of other elements as well.)
" What the hell... Lizzy what's wrong with this guy "
" Even my 5 years old child self knew this "
Even before he awakened his memory, he was able to use basic wind and fire spells using his creation element.
[Don't give up so soon, Host. You haven't even read a single page of the book.]
" Lizzy, what happens if I don't form elemental roots? "
[Without forming elemental roots, you won't be able to improve your mastery over the elements.]
[With minimal control of the elements, you will have to use basic spells throughout life]
[Furthermore, you won't be able to obtain your mage class and your spell level will remain at level 1.]
" ok I get it "
* Knock..! * * Knock..!* *Knock..! *
When Ray heard the knocking sound, he thought it might be Valarina because it was time for her to arrive.
"Sister Rina is that you, come inside "
"Young Master it's me "
