"Now, princess, don't tease my boy. Hurry up and give him his reward for killing the princess of Theodora," Vespara quickly interrupted.
Aizel's ears pricked up at the ntion of the word "reward" escaping Vespara's lips.
"Well, we still can't be 100% sure that it was Larisa Theodora. But I know that she is missing, and Aizel spoke the truth about his accident.
"Fair enough, I will reward you for killing the princess of our enemy kingdom," she sighed.
"What should I give you?
"Do you want a weapon? I have many better weapons than your low-level spirit sword," Zareena said.
[This fucking scum, how dare she say a low-level sword. Cut her already, master]
"No thank you. Can I ask for sothing else?"
"Speak first,"
"I want Siren Reqium," Aizel said.
"You only want a legendary potion and nothing else?" The princess asked again.
"Yes,"
"Alright, the potion will be brought to your room by the royal mages after so ti.
"And I don't want to act like a miser, so I will reward you with so gold coins along with magic crystals." Princess further added.
Aizel nodded.
He was overjoyed to have finally acquired the legendary potion that could restore Emma's voice.
"What do you want to do with bet. Do you still want to continue?" Zareena asked as she noticed a subtle reaction on his face.
"Oh, about that, why not," Aizel replied.
"Okay, you can leave now; rember, tomorrow we will all be heading for the training.
"Be prepared."
"Yeah," Aizel replied.
Eventually, Vespara and Aizel left the impressive halls of Felgura Castle and returned to the inn.
"Thank you, Vespara."
"Why are you thanking , pretty boy? It was your luck that you were able to kill Larisa and earn a reward for it," Vespara replied.
"What happened?" Daisy asked.
"It's a surprise," Aizel replied.
*Knock*
Gentle knock on the door interrupted the conversation, causing Aizel to spring to his feet. He walked up to the door in a hurry.
A royal mage greeted him as he opened the door, holding a chest-shaped box decorated in earthy tones.
The mage held out the box to Aizel, and then he bowed and left the inn.
Aizel walked slowly towards the table, his gaze never leaving the box.
A spark of anticipation lit up his face as he carefully raised the lid. Inside, he beheld two intriguing objects.
The first was a sterling silver ring etched with an abstract design representing a regal griffin in flight.
Besides the ring lay a vial containing a vibrant orange liquid, within which tiny butterflies danced and emitted a soft, enchanting glow. Their delicate movents conveyed a sense of ethereal beauty and mystique.
He gently picked up the potion as everyone stared at it intently.
"Are all the legendary potions this beautiful?" Aizel asked.
"They are called legendary for a reason," Vespara replied.
"What legendary potion? How did you get that?" Daisy asked.
"I got the potion for killing Larisa from the princess, hehe," Aizel replied as he smirked.
"What does it do?" She asked.
"Wait a minute,"
"KIDS" he shouted.
The children's laughter filled the room, and the sound of their playful footsteps echoed off the stone walls. They appeared before his eyes in a flash.
Their eyes widened with wonder, reflecting the flickering light of the potion cradled in his hands.
"Emma, co forward."
"Don't tell .." Daisy murmured.
"She has to drink this, right?" He asked Vespara.
"Yes, give her the potion so that she can drink." She replied.
"Drink this Emma, then sothing magical will happen."
Emma nodded her head.
Aizel removed the cork and handed her the potion. Emma grabbed the vial with her tiny hands and gulped it down.
The room went silent as all eyes focused on Emma, whose expression changed into sothing out of this world.
Her peaceful face suddenly contorted into a series of weird looks.
*cough* Her barely suppressed cough broke the awkward stillness.
Aizel and Daisy, with worried expressions on their faces, dropped everything and rushed to her aid.
"Oye hag, what's wrong?" Aizel quickly asked.
"Th-is tastes so bad." Suddenly, in a weak voice, Emma spoke.
A fragile voice escaped her lips, barely audible yet carrying a weight that echoed through the hearts of those present.
Astonishnt and wonder hung thick in the air and etched themselves into the faces of those present.
"You can finally speak!" Aizel quickly hugged her in excitent.
"It's hurting, Aiizzz."
"Oh sorry, I got way too excited."
"Woah Emma can speak now...
"AWESO...
"EMMAAAA... Suddenly, Ruth jumped at her as he cried happily.
"I am proud of you, Aizel." Shelly slightly thumped the back of Aizel.
"I just feel this is the best thing that ever happened in my life," Aizel replied with a smile.
"Why does it feel like a dad watching his daughter speak her first word?" he further comnted.
"Hhahaha..." Shelly laughed.
"Pretty boy, I am falling in love with you every day. Do you want to have a child with ?
"We can go right into action if you want."
"Shelly, save from this hag." Aizel quickly hides behind Shelly.
"Let's go Vespara. Do you rember when you told you would train both and Daisy today?"
*Tsh*
"Co on, move your big ass."
After that Shelly, Daisy, and Vespara left the room.
Aizel, anwhile, stayed behind, sleeves rolled up, as he dove headfirst into the challenge of culinary creativity.
The kids eagerly joined him in the kitchen, and their joyful talk blended with the rhythmic clinking of pots and pans to create a lodic symphony.
"Thank you Aizz," Emma said with watery eyes.
"Hehe, kid, no worries. I will do anything for every single one of you.
"By the way, what happened to that egg? Did it hatch yet?" Aizel asked.
"No, it's still not responding," Oliver replied.
"It looks like Fenrir doesn't want to co out yet," Lily said.
"Maybe it will need more ti," Ruth replied.
[fufu, show that egg, and let tell you its status]
"Can you even do that?" Aizel.
[Of course, I can sense it]
"Woah..
"So cool...
"Sekki is aweso...
[fufu, You all are smart kids. I will make you all my magic knights when I will rule this world hahaha]
