After eating, the old man gets some brown stone in his mini pouch, he surrounds their carriage and the grassland in the area where they are going to sleep.
It picked the interest of Liberaine but she doesn't have a way to get the answer of the old man because of language barrier.
The old man after putting the stone, looked content and they went to sleep. In the grassland there is a cloth that they used for sleeping and a comforter that comes from the old man carriage.
They immediately went off in the sunrise after waking up.
In the carriage, Liberaine now really doesn't care about the young girl seeing her at this point so she just again practices her magic of witchcraft.
Liberaine began to close her eyes. After she saw the little balls again, she released a power from her own body. "Blue balls come to me." The little balls stopped what they were doing and stared at the body of Liberaine which covered a mana. After she said 'Blue ball' the blue ball began to surround her but it's not coming to her body to merge instead they are circling her. Then after she said, 'come to me', the blue ball didn't come at all instead they kept circling her.
Liberaine touch her forehead, still closing her eyes, she said, [Oh Aquinos, Guardian of water, Give your power to me and cleanse the impurities,]....The blue balls is growing big.[ßůříwòrô šùñóřì pàśèķà fórtè kýùnò pèmbýè ísťa pwèrìkà], The blue ball comes to her body and she succeed in doing a spell. Liberaine feels comfortable after using the art of healing but the wounds still stayed on her. The good thing is her injuries are not hurting anymore. After that she opened her eyes and looked at the young girl, who's not looking at her but still holding her left hand.
Liberaine succeeded but it also added the mystery behind casting the spell in this world. 'Aquinos was living on the earth. How come this blue light follows my command after I use his name in this world? Is aquinos in this world? How could that be?' There are many spirits in the earth and Liberaine are closed with them. Every element has an affinity to her. She loved nature sincerely and with all her heart so they also love her back. Liberaine protected them like they are her own child so spirits treat her as their mother.
Liberaine sigh of relief. Looks like there's still a one or two to learn behind the magic here in this world.
"Were here!" The old man said with a loud voice. "After passing the gate, you will see the land of the kioka kingdom."
Lilibeth peeked infront looking excited, while Liberaine copied what the young girl was doing out of curiosity. They saw the kingdom gate not far away from their carriage, In the gate there were too many carriages lining up and were being checked by the guards.
While lining up, Lilibeth starts mumbling again to Liberaine, which the latter ignores. They soon reached the gate. Liberaine and the young girl go down and go to the guards with the old man to check their identity.
"Oh hey, isn't it Henry. So you're here to deliver you fruits again huh." The guard heartily speaks to the old man named Henry.
"Hello sir Rodolf, free to check my carriage. My fruits are the best so I know it will sell again." Henry moved his chin up looking proud. He handed his identification card and looked at the two young girls, "Sir, these two children here have some business in Kioka Kingdom and I bet they still don't have identification cards. Could you please guide them in the guild so they can get an identification card?"
The guard looked at the two girls. After seeing Liberaine swollen cheeks, he frowned and said, "Hey you old Henry, did you abuse this two young girls ha? don't even think of taking advantage of these two young ladies while in this kingdom." He joked.
"HAHAHA Knowing that you sir Rodolf and the others are here, I can now relax." Looking at the young girl, "This young girl took her sister in the Kioka Kingdom, they must have business here. They have bad experiences because of their parents, so please take care of them." Henry smiled.
Lilibeth's eyes are full of gratitude. "Thank you sir. I will remember this debt as long as I live." She look at the guard and said, "Umm sir please take care of us." She vowed to the masculine man infront of her.
Rodolf nodded and signaled the other guards, "Take these cute ladies and guide them at the Guild, get them an identification card so they could wander in the kingdom freely." He paused and added, "Don't let anyone hurt them, understood?" Rodolf looked fierce when he said that.
"Yes, captain." The two guards salute.
"Okay young girl be careful in your way. And remember not to trust anyone, it must be your luck to meet this old guy Henry. Not anyone is like him." Rodolf said while staring at the two girls.
"Rodolf don't scare them." Henry said., He glanced at Liberaine. He pat Liberaine's head then stared at Lilibeth, "I know it must be hard on you, but you need to keep strong for your little sister.Okay?" He gave her a worried smile and warned. "Now be careful."
"Sir, really thank you. It's really our luck to meet such a good person at this time." Lilibeth became emotional. Too many harsh things happened to them. The only thing supporting her mind and not to fall is the determination to let her young miss out in this miserable situation. She is weak but because of her master, she needs to become strong.
After they bid farewell to Henry, Liberaine and the young girl entered the kingdom.
While holding Liberaine, Lilibeth followed the two guards. There were so many people when they entered the gate, Liberaine kept glancing at her surroundings and could not help but be amazed. There are many races in this world.. An orc, an elf, a beastman. 'Is this possible the world of Orheñia?' While wondering, she bumped on someone.
"Who dares to hit me." The girl yelled. Looking at Liberaine, she snorted. "An ugly looking girl dared to touch me?" After saying that she got a whip."You need to be punished."
Lilibeth is shocked silly, her young miss is still recuperating and this girl out of nowhere will dare harm her. Thinking of this she fumed. "You girl, I don't know who you are. But don't you dare hurt my young miss with your dirty hands." She let go of the hand of Liberaine and went in between them.
"Haaa.. Young miss??" The arrogant girl looked at Liberaine up and down. She smugly stared at her while looking at her in contempt. "Hahahaha this clothing is called 'young miss'? I see you two are the country bumpkin and doesn't know what the outside world is like. You two are just a stone compared to me , a pearl." She flashes her whip on the ground. And began walking forward.
Lilibeth doesn't want to hear the arrogant girl's shamelessness anymore. She is so self-centered and a narcissist. She hated this kind of human who kept reminding Lilibeth about her trauma from the past.
Seeing this, the two guards immediately block the girl. "Honorable person. May we know who you are?" The two guards politely ask, because from how this girl is talking, she must have a great background.
"Hmmmpp. I, Anna Marie Combre, third daughter of the Combre House." She loudly said, looking down at the person in front of her. "Now you know.. stay out of my way."
After hearing that, the crowd soon began to surround them.
"Hey isn't the Combre House, one of the four great families here?"
"Yeah, I know. The master of that family is working as the advisor in the palace."
"Tsk tsk so that's why the girl is being so arrogant uhh.. I also heard the third miss of the Combre House is an arrogant girl.. so it's true."
"Shhh.. keep your mouth shut or else you will be whipped."
"The two girls are so dead bumping in that girl."
The crowd soon began to chatter.
