Chapter 10

When the owner perceived the words to her ears and saw tears being poured down on the Lucelle's face, she touched her shoulder to woke her up, "Miss... Wake up! You're having a nightmare. Wake up..."
Right away, Lucelle opened her eyes slowly and confusely, wandering why the owner gripped her shoulder, "O-owner?"
"I c-called you but you didn't reply so I decided to open the door and saw you having a nightmare. I didn't have any choice but to force you to wake up," the owner tried to explain, "You even said some words, like... hmmm... like Dad, Mom and brothers, and telling them not to leave you?"
Lucelle was both speechless and embarassed. Speechless because she still remembered her family and the fact that they were already no longer existed. And embarassed because someone who was stranger to her saw that kind of state of her.
She wiped her face with her hands when she noticed that it was wetted.
"Did I cried too much while I was having nightmare?" she thought.
She stood up from the bed, and uttered to the owner, "Thank you for your help." 
"It is my pleasure, Miss," the owner responded with a grin, "By the way, the reason why I want to wake you up because the breakfast is already prepared and the village chief wanted to see you as soon as possible."
"Village  chief? For what reason? Did my identity already leaked here? No way!" another thought of her.
Acting as confused, she asked, "Village chief? Why?"
The owner sighed, "I don't know either. It is better if you meet him if you want to know."
She controlled herself. It is too strange that for her that the village chief wanted to meet her even though it was her first time being here.
She let out a heavy breathe, "Fine. I will go meet him after breakfast. Just guide me to wherever he is."
"Okay, Miss."
"I  should act as normal as possible. It's impossible for the people of the village to know me as this village is already too remote. Still, I should not let my guard down." she thought.
She only realized she didn't change her clothes after looking at herself, "You go first. I will follow you after."
"Oh?" when the owner realized that, she bowed down, "Then, I will go now."
"By the way, is there a bathroom here?"
The owner answered, "Yes. It is located near the third room, so you have to go back four rooms because yor room is the 7th or the last room," then she sighed, "And as you've known already or maybe not, it is an ordinary bathroom, nothing special. However, I already prepared the things you need for bathing. You know, your state is so..."
Lucelle smiled, "Thank you again."
The owner said goodbye again and walked away from the room.
"I wronged her. Despite her greedy for money, she is still kind and caring." she mumbled.
Lucelle took the clothes that she put on the table.  It was just plain clothes. Nothing extraordinary. There was no reason for her to be picky, as things aren't the same anymore.
Afterward, she went out from her room and went to the bathroom. She opened the door and just like what the owner said, even though it was nothing unordinary, unlike her bathroom at her family's residence, it was still cleaned and the things were already prepared.
In the midst of removing her clothes, a 3-centimeter red box fell on the floor. Due to the lock of the box, it didn't open despite the great impact it had while falling.
"Oh? I totally forgot the box my dad gave me because of the desperate situation I was in," she then picked the red box and slowly opened it.
The inside of the red box was two flamboyantly florid ring made from garnet.
"Isn't these my parents' wedding rings? Did they removed their rings just to give it to me? For what? For my wedding?" she talked to herself.
Then image of Prince Armando was suddenly on her mind.
"N-no, no. Why the hell I am thinking about that pervert and annoying bastard?! There's no way I will marry him...!" Lucelle's thought.
Lucelle's gaze was on the florid rings again, wandering if there was a puzzle or mystery to solve, "They didn't gave me these rings for no reasons. I know there's something I missed..." and then thought of an idea, "Hmmm... Should I try infusing my magic power?"
Due to Lucelle's rest last night, her  magic power was slowly recovering but she was still not on her peak state. She might be a 2nd-circle fire magician, but she could only cast a 1st-circle fire spells.
She tried to pervade one of the florid rings with her magic power. Nothing tremendous happened on the ring aside from it ignited for only a second.
Maybe her magic power was not enough?
When she accidentally saw her dried wounds, she thought of another idea.
As her wounds were already not bleeding. She bitted her thumb and blood began to flow out. Then, she dropped the blood onto the ring. It was strange, but the ring completely absorbed.
The ring became too dazzling after, and five things appeared out on the ring and fell on the bathroom's floor. Nevertheless, the things that fell were not wetted as she had not started bathing. The water was located at the corner of the room while she was on the center.
"Maybe this ring was from my dad," she whispered.
The three were manuals. One for swordmanship and the other two were fire magic techniques. But the things her gaze caught with were the other two, one that was folded into four parts and seemed like a letter, and the other one was a plain parchment, no words could be seen.
Lucelle picked the letter and unfolded just for her to read the contents.
Dear Lucy,
               As you read this letter, fate is not already on my grasp or... maybe not. HAHAHA! And I might be a strict and cold to you, sometimes, but all I did was for your good, nothing more. Before my wife gave birth to you, I was always hoping that the child in her belly would be a girl as I had already two boys which are your elder brothers. And God gave me you, a baby girl. I was beyond happy that time and til now. I'm so glad for having you in my and your mother's's life. I love you so much and be stronger always, my baby girl, Lucy.
Anyway, the manuals I put on my wedding ring are our family's secret techniques and only a family head or a candidate can learn them. You may not be a family head nor a candidate, but I want you to learn them even breaking the family's rule. You are a genius child as not all people around your age can reach your magic level. So I know you can learn the manuals I gave you or even surpass me.
               Regarding the blank parchment, it is the original copy of divine magic spell I found in the ancient ruins. I only learnt one fourth of its true power that I also taught to our clansmen after. However, one must be a 3rd-circle magician and a drop of blood is required to use the parchment. You must not disclose this to anyone.
                                    Yours truly,
                                    Your Loving Dad,
After reading, she wiped the tears falling from her eyes, "D-dad... I love you too..."
She picked the other ring that surely was from her mom's possession. Just like the former method, she dropped her blood and the ring absorbed them.
However, instead of manuals, the ring had an estimated hundred golds, 2 daggers, a sword, a gold token and 5 elixirs for different purposes such as improving magic power and strengthening body physique.
Instead of showing greediness of the treasures, she picked and read the letter that was almost buried due to the amount of treasures.
Dear Baby Lucy,
               Hello, my baby! How are you? Don't you dare neglect yourself! You need to take extra care of your body. And that's why I prepared these treasures for you and in order for you to buy anything you want. Moreover, these high-quality elixirs are also helpful to you.
               These may be just materials and consumables, but it is full of my love and sincerity. So don't you dare say I didn't love you or my love for you is also consumable! Hmph! Or else, I will spank your butt! HAHAHA, well I know you won't. So be stronger than anyone else, never trust someone you don't know, or even if you trust someone you should never let your guard down because can be happened any time at any where. And don't forget, I will always love you.
P.S. Take the golden token to the Salvino Clan of Merica Kingdom and they can grant you three wishes. Love you!
                               Sincerely Yours,
                              Your Gorgeous Mom,
She bitterly smiled while folding the letter, "S-still... my mom didn't change afterall. She loves me too as much as I love her."
When she saw the golden token, she picked it.
"Three wishes? What kind of wishes shall I make?" she uttered to herself.
However, she realized something.
"The letters... were strange, as if my parents already expected how things would appear, as if they knew that our family would face a heavy struggle someday. Or am I just too sensitive?" she murmured.
