684 Words
Hearing how hopeless I am from the maids, my mother meets me.
"Ruca, are you okay? Why your mind seems wandering around. Is it about your weapon mastery?".
Seeing how concerned she are, I feel grateful.
But this problem keeps on weighting my mind.
Maybe I need to share my problem with her as two minds are better than one.
"Mommy, lets see there is a very evil and strong sword master that needed to be defeated for world peace. So a strong archer master challenged him but he was defeated. Then a strong blade master challenged him but defeated too. Infact, after that all master in all other weapon challenged him but still defeated".
Looking at her, i continue, "Then Mommy, how the sword master will be defeated?".
I try to ask her using analogy for my problem.
Without taking a long time thinking, my mother ask me,"Do the sword master's teacher alive?".
Huh? Why she asked that?
Taking a sip of coffee, she continue,"If the teacher is alive, ask him to fight his student".
"Why?". I curiously ask her.
"Well his teacher should be stronger than him since the teacher is the one that taught everything to him". She explained.
Thinking for a while. I started to understanding the meaning of my mother words.
This is the answer to my problem!
Finally, I have found the way to cure Lady Rose!
I stand up and immediately hug my mother, " Thank you, Mommy". I said happily to her.
Immediately I run off to my laboratory.
Why cant i think that the way to weaken the dark red poison is to use stronger poison!!!
Open up the book of poisonous monster, i search for the poisonous monster that produced strongest poison; the black poison!
I found out the poisonous monster is a black lizard where each of its scale are able to produce venom that can kill a person immediately.
The lizard are so big and strong however its weakness is it slow movement due to its body.
With my high agility, i can get the poison easily at its scale without being noticed.
The lizard only live in a Zarak Forest, a boundary region between Kirlune Kingdom and Fiera Kingdom. So this is a quite far distant to travel there.
The time to reach there is usually 1 month by carriage and 2 weeks when using horse.
This is truly long journey.
But this is not the time to hesistate!
My decision is final. I am going to the Zarak Forest.
Going back to my room, i start pack up the things I need to do in the journey which include the bottles to store the poison, some water and breads while the other necessity.
Then, I go to my father's room to ask for the permission.
"Father, can I have your permission in taking a walk outside?". I ask him.
"A walk. For what purpose, Ruca?".
"Actually, Linie ask me to gift her a rare flower grow in the forest. I want to give it to her".
'Sorry, Linie. I need to borrow your name.'
"Oh for your sister. Its okay Ruca. U can go" he smiled.
Fuh I did it! A trick in using Linie's name to get anything is as usual successful.
As i move to exit the room, suddenly I heard my father said,"Take care of youself Ruca".
Looking at him back, i see him and gratefully said, "You too Daddy".
He looked stunned.
Smiling at him, immediately I exit his office room.
After that, I went to meet my mother to say my goodbye and ensure her that this is only a short trip for my training just like usual I did.
Each time i take a trip, as usual, she will look unwilling. And i will ensure her that nothing is going to happen.
"Take care of yourself. Dont forget to sleep and eat". She constantly remind me.
"Yes, Mommy. You too! Goodbye".
"Goodbye".
Until my figure exit the Duke Ernest's mansion, her eyes never left my back.
'Dont worry Mommy, nothing is going to happen".
