Chapter 143 Setting Up Defensive Systems Part 1

I got up and sat next to Sally and hugged her. I could see the tears that were about to flood out, and as soon as she felt me embrace her, she burst into tears. Adel also got up and came over, trying to comfort her. “As the princess of the Gravos Kingdom, I swear on my name that I will not allow that bast…. Ermmm idiot, to do any harm to you. In a way, you are lucky. You met Faith, who has the ability to help those around her more than she thinks.”

I chuckled slightly, hearing Adel’s fumble with words there. “And if for some reason that stupid cat does somehow get to you…. I will just destroy the beast kingdom….”

“Oi!, Faith, your words are a little much there!” King Gravos yelled out.  I turned and stuck my tongue out at him. “I was just kidding.”

“It didn’t sound like you were joking!” Hearing his retort, I let out a laugh. I would never go as far as to destroy the beast kingdom, but to pull the tail off a cat and hang him from the tallest point on his castle, that is easy enough.-.

“I do not know about destroying kingdoms, but I will also stand at your side as well.” Lance stood up and announced. I wonder if he took a liking to the rabbit…. Is it because she has big boobs? This may just be the case. I will be sure to double the protective barrier on her room in the house.

“Ahem…. Anyway, we will need to set up the magic contract. Faith, I will need you to come to the castle tomorrow, and until then, Sally, I will need you to be patient as we will be having you placed under house arrest for the time being at the castle. It will only be for one night, and then you will be following Faith from tomorrow on.” King Gravos explained.

“By your will, Your Majesty.”  Sally wiped her tears as she got up and bowed to King Gravos. Her way of speaking was very knightly.

I had said my goodbyes to Sally, who I would see the next day, and headed back to my room.  With everything settled, and after almost two hours of lost sleep, I finally got to go back to sleep. Although this time, I had two people sleeping on each side of me.

I woke up four hours later. I had already agreed to go to the castle around mid morning. Sophie said she would be staying as she did not feel comfortable going to the castle. So she would be staying at the house with Sei. Lance and Adel would be coming with me since it would be a kind of formal event. And also so I would not get lost in the castle….

And as for the reason why I woke up so early, well…. I planned to set up all my traps. I only have today to do it as I will be heading to the academy the next day to take the entrance test.

I was excited and nervous at the same time. But I do hope I can make some more friends. I couldn’t even think what my life would have been like if I lived in a kingdom that enslaved demi humans. But I do wonder what my life would be like if the Norain army never invaded.

I wonder if I would still be able to meet the people I have met or even have a chance to make my way into the Royal Magic Academy. Would I have met Adel or Sophie? Gesel and Sei? Would their lives be much different than they are now?

As I was lost in my thoughts, I barged into Sei’s room and dragged her out of bed. “Wait, no! Five more minutes! Faith! You demon!”

“We don’t have time! I have to go to the castle in a few hours, and then I really need to get ready for tomorrow. And so do you!” I do feel bad for dragging her out of bed, but if I do not act in such a forceful manner, she will never actually make it out of bed. She will try to keep sleeping for many more hours if I do not drag her out of the bed like I am. I mean, water magic chilled with ice is not the best way to wake up.

Shivering, Sei gives me a dirty look while putting on some clothes. “One of these days, I will get even!”

“You would need to wake up earlier than me.” I said while casting a drying spell on her. “I just wish you would learn this is not the first time I dragged you out of bed before.”

“You only did it two times, including this time!” Sei yelled back as she buttoned her pants. “Alright, let’s go. I want to get more sleep after you leave.”

I smiled and followed her out of the room and down to the first floor. We had to create the core of the barrier and trap system first so that everyone in the house could get registered to the core before I left. This was the reason why I needed Sei here. I wanted to make sure it was done right because the last thing I wanted was for me to mess up something and someone getting hurt.

“Okay, like before, we will inscribe the runic equation telling the core what it will be doing. But this time, you will be doing the inscribing. You have more mana than me. One thing to remember while inscribing the equation is that you have to go into fine detail on every aspect of what you are trying to do. If a single detail is off, it will cause the whole system to malfunction.

“Like say you want to put up a barrier that repels attacks but also allows you to attack from the inside. And during the equation, you forget to designate which side of the barrier the attacks should be repelled on. You would end up having both sides repel the attacks causing you to attack yourself even if you set it up to have your attacks go through the barrier.” Sei explained. It is for this reason that I have her here. Because I will have her read my equation after I finish it to make sure I did not mess anything up. In a situation where you only wish to harm those with ill intentions having two minds is better than one.
