The Magic Queen of Another World

Chapter 10

Time seems to fly by when one is deeply engrossed in life's activities, and in the blink of an eye, I have turned fifteen. Standing before the large dressing mirror, I once again marvel at the excellent genes of my handsome father and beautiful mother; without them, how could this body be so exquisite? At fifteen, I have grown taller, finally shedding the inconvenience of short limbs, and others no longer pat my head at will. Joy fills me as I think, "I have finally grown up." With my current abilities, I can now slip out to play at will, but I always inadvertently notice Ao following me from a distance.

Ao is no longer as frail as he used to be. At seventeen, he has grown tall, his height surpassing mine by a head. His martial skills, according to my father, have reached the level of a Senior Warrior, which is quite impressive. Clad in light armor, he is even more radiant than before. Those in the Duke's mansion who once feared him have gradually become more friendly towards him after three years of interaction and my scientific advocacy. I even caught a few younger maids secretly following him and watching him furtively, which led me to tease him for several days.

However, it is somewhat frustrating that Ao remains as expressionless as ever. No matter how I tease or make fun of him, he only gives me a casual glance before standing behind me again. I can only say that my abilities are limited; I have not yet managed to transform him into a charming young man. I really don't understand him—would it be the end of the world for him to smile? Otherwise, why has he had a poker face for so long? It seems I have developed a generation gap with the current youth (Hey, you're not that old either~).

Every time I evade all the guards and sneak out complacently, I always see Ao a few steps away from me on the street, and I can't shake him off no matter what method I use. In the end, I have to use spatial magic to return home directly, and Ao follows shortly after. I have to admit, Father, you have trained Ao very well, so well that it controls my freedom. I really want to say to my father, "You did a great job!"

Because people outside are afraid and disgusted by Ao's eyes, I have used alchemy to create some magical potions that can change the color of the pupils. However, this magical potion can only keep the eye color unchanged for a few days; if the time is up, it will revert to the original color. But as long as you continue to apply the potion to the eyes, it will work. After I gave the magical potion to Ao, I heard him say, "Thank you," and then he turned and left.

I thought that in this way, Ao would not need to cover his eyes with a cloth when he goes out in the future. As a result, he did not cover his eyes when he went out later, and his eyes turned blue, which made the girls on the road feel shy and cover their faces when they saw him. I was secretly laughing on the side, watching his face turn dark, and then I slipped away.

As a result, the number of times he sighed during those times obviously increased. Because he was there, some people who wanted to harass me on the road were beaten away by him without any hesitation. My father also gave his beloved sword to Ao.

I remember when my father gave the sword to Ao, he said, "Ao, I give you the Sun and Moon Sword. As long as you see someone who has ill intentions towards Lisa, use this sword to end him, and don't be soft-hearted." My father handed the sword to Ao with a serious look on his face.

"Yes." Ao's face turned cold, and he responded heavily, holding the sword horizontally with his hand.

My mother was watching on the side, "Lisa, look at how well your father said, it's just the voice of my heart. Ao's response is so resolute, oh, what a lovely good boy!"

I looked at them speechless, it should have been a solemn sword-giving ceremony, but I always felt like it was a farce. Sure enough, my father and mother really care about me. And Ao, he is really not cute at all. Now I can only listen to Emma telling interesting stories outside, and I don't walk around much myself.

Emma is now twenty years old, married to a guard in the Duke's mansion who has been chasing her for a long time. However, even though she is married, she is still my maid, especially the chattering problem is still the same, and the whole person is still impulsive. It seems that the guard who married her is not having an easy life.

In this world, adulthood is at the age of twenty, so I still have a long time to indulge. The advantage of being a child is that mistakes can be disregarded, and there is no need to find reasons for fun. This is a rice worm-like life.

When I thought I could continue to live like this, my father suddenly called me to his side and said only one sentence: "Lisa, it's time for you to go outside and experience the world. You can stay outside for one or two years, but don't waste time. When you come back, I will check how your homework is, and Ao will accompany you. Remember to keep yourself safe."

I nodded, but I didn't understand more and more why my father was in a hurry to let me go outside to experience. I initially thought that being a noble lady should be nothing to do, but it was completely beyond my imagination. It seems that life is impossible to be calm.

At the time of parting, Emma hugged me and cried all night, nagging in my ear: "It's dangerous outside, remember to run when you see a bad person, don't listen to strangers..." As a result, I finally persuaded her, and she gave up tormenting my ears.

Early the next morning, my mother had been hugging me, crying silently, until my father held my mother and said, "Let Lisa go, she must go and understand the world. Now is the time for us to let go, we can't keep her for a lifetime."

My mother nodded with tears, and only said one sentence to me: "Take care." Then she couldn't help crying in my father's arms.

I looked at my parents in this life, and I couldn't help but feel the sadness of parting. Although I don't know why they did this, they really care about me. Just this point, I can believe them without hesitation that they are for my good. So, this time the new journey began in the sadness of parting.

This time is the real departure from home, although there is some sadness in my heart, but soon it was attracted by the unknown journey, after all, I have not truly realized the world.

Sastan City, where we are, is the most fertile place, but since it is to experience and grow, I decided to leave this city and go to other places to see. According to my idea, it is also to have fun.

"Ao, is there any nearby town nearby?" Ao followed behind me, his eyes turned blue with the magical potion, so there were many admiring eyes on the street that were directed at him, but after seeing me in front of him, the eyes moved elsewhere, it seems to be regarded as a couple with me and him, I can only say that this is a bit good is that there is no one who doesn't know the good and bad people to bother me and Ao.

"There is a small town about twenty kilometers ahead, Miss," Ao must not like to be in such a crowded place on the street, so his face has not been good. As a result, a vacuum belt was formed around him.

"Then let's go there." Maybe something interesting can be encountered. "Ao, can you rent a carriage?"

Ao looked at me a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, the Duke and his wife did not allow me to bring money and goods."

"What?" I exclaimed, no money, how can I eat and sleep, is this the experience my father said? It's really ruthless. "Ao, then we can only walk?"

"Yes, Miss." Ao thought for a while and looked at me: "There is another way, that is, use spatial magic to get there."

Right, I pat my head, how can I forget magic, "Okay, now Ao, come to my side." I said, holding Ao's arm, my fingers crossed in the void, and said, "Spatial transfer, to the town twenty miles away."

A c***k was torn in the air, and I took Ao and stepped in, using spatial magic is like the feeling of a roller coaster, and when I opened my eyes to the destination, my head was still a little dizzy, as a result, Ao helped me walk for a while, this is the disadvantage of using spatial magic, because I'm dizzy!

When I was clear, Ao imperceptibly let go of my hand on him, and stepped back behind me, I was a little depressed, touching him won't do anything, is it necessary to make such a clear boundary? It's really not cute when you grow up, when he was a child, he would still hold on to me.

As the evening shadows lengthened, I began to fret about the prospect of going without dinner and a bed for the night.

"Ao, are there any homes up ahead where we might find lodging?"

Ao nodded at me, "I shall inquire."

The doors of the town's dwellings were all closed. Ao approached one of the doors and knocked for a considerable time before it opened a c***k. Through the gap, I could vaguely discern an elderly person. After exchanging a few words with the elder and gesturing in my direction, the details of the conversation were lost to me, for I stood at a distance.
