Chapter 217 The Silly King



King Gravos looked at my hand with great interest. I couldn’t help but want to tease him when I saw his expression. I quickly retracted my hand and held it to my chest as I said: “Your Majesty, I know I have beautiful hands, but if you look at me like that…. I am still so young….”

“What!? Father, are you hitting on my Faith!?” Adel suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs.

“Huh!? What!? What is going on!?” King Gravos was flustered. His cheeks turned red. I couldn’t hold it anymore as I burst out laughing. “You! You naughty girl! Are you trying to get me killed!?”

“Hahaha! I am sorry, I just couldn’t…. Hahaha!” I was laughing so hard I was even snorting, which caused everyone else to laugh along with me..

Wiping away the tears I just spilled, I finally presented the ability stone to King Gravos. This time Adel was standing at my side, hugging my arm while glaring at her father. I guess Adel will never change. As time goes on, she will probably grow out of this as she interacts with more and more people. But for now, I guess it is fine to indulge her once and a while as long as it does not cross the line too much.

The more I think about my last dream where I was alone in such a huge mansion with only a few servants going about their daily tasks, I wonder if I will truly lead such a lonely life. But I guess I should really not worry so much about such things as my life has only just started. I am still young, and I can only wait to see what the future holds. But still…. As my dreams seem to be coming true, I can’t help but worry just a little.

“This is called an ability or skill stone. It will give you an ability outside the normal magic we use. It’s kind of hard to explain, so it is best to just use it and find out for yourself.” I said as I placed the stone in King Gravos’s hand. Another menu popped up in front of him, and he quickly pressed the yes button. “Hmm? Aegis Return?”

My ears perked up. “Oh? What does it say?” I asked.

“Hmm, it says that it is a passive skill. It will activate anytime a hostile action is taken against me and reflect the damage back at the attacker.” King Gravos explained. I couldn’t help but purse my lips. That was better than my mana shield!  “There doesn’t seem to be a mana cost either….”

“Well, it seems Your Majesty will live a long, long life. But we should test it.” I said with a bright smile. I wanted to see the magic circle as it forms!

“Test it? How are you goin…..! Ahhh! Faith, are you trying to rebel!?”  King Gravos yelled out as he quickly dodged my fireball.

“Tch!” I clicked my tongue and shot a few more at him. Adel, who was next to me, was dying from laughter. She was actually rolling around on the ground, holding her stomach. But sure enough, one of the attacks really did hit King Gravos, and a magic circle with a sci fi looking barrier suddenly appeared instantly. I imprinted the magic circle into my mind. It was very complex, but I know I can recreate it. The fireball that came flying back at me, which I waved off with a water ball, canceling it out.

It was just that. I was currently being glared at by a certain king whose clothes were now in disarray. “Faith, do you know what you did is a crime against the crown?”

“No, I was testing your new defensive passive. I was helping the crown. Would you rather wait for an assassin to come to kill you and at that time only hope your passive will work? With myself or Adel here, we can at least rewind your damage from a simple fireball. So please do not put this and that into the same category. Also, tell your shadow guards to stop glaring at me.” I could feel their eyes on me, but they did not dare make a move. They couldn’t. After all, I have the best backing in the entire kingdom! My little and wonderfully amazing Bell!

King Gravos stood there staring at me in disbelief. What did he expect from a magic freak!? When a new spell was right in front of my eyes, I had to see it! Anyway…. “Aegis!”

A blue shield appeared around me that looked just like the one that formed around King Gravos seconds ago. “Oh? Quite a bit of mana needed to maintain such a barrier.”

“Hah, Fireball!” King Gravos suddenly yelled out.

“Wait, don’t!” Ah, it was already too late. I was unable to react in time, and his spell hit the barrier.

“Ahhh!” King Gravos yelled out once more. This time he was patting his robes which caught on fire. He turned and looked at me with an aggrieved expression. The King, who normally had an oppressive air about him, now looked like a vagabond. But I must say this was kind of a childish move on his part. Was he trying to get revenge against me?

“I copied the spell exactly so it, of course, would have the reflection portion of the runic equation as well….” I explained. Adel was currently hugging my leg dry heaving from laughing so hard. I really did not know what to make of this situation.

“You could have said something earlier!” King Gravos said while pouting as he sat back in his seat.

“You didn’t even give me time! You just cast the fireball before I even had a chance to realize what was going on!” It was true. I was still studying my new spell when he suddenly cast a fireball at me. How was I supposed to react in time?
