Master Of None

Chapter 2754: 2754. The Odd Princess

The sight that greeted Walker was the king of Diamond and the human race looking a little older than what he had been the last time he saw him. Then again, he was not necessarily growing younger, no one tended to do that. However, he also saw the little girl who was clearly not a two year old.

The longer blond hair and violet eyes telling him that she was astounded by him said everything he needed to know. She had intelligence greater than someone of her age and the changes in mana she had been able to utilize had influenced her body to grow a bit faster than what would be considered normal.

That didnʼt change her age though. She was a child regardless of whatever he had heard as rumors or whatever her genius quirks might be. ”I thought I would come and meet you to keep you some company on the journey. The others will be waiting to greet you when you enter the earth territory of Genesis. Sorry if this was a bit too surprising. I just wish I could also meet your queen, but I understand she is holding the castle safely while yo-u are away.”

The grin that the king had was enough to say that this surprise was more than welcome. King Diamond had been looking forward to seeing all the miraculous things he had been told by Markus Raven. He had heard so much and seen the flow of goods changing along with different traces entering the human territories to do trade. Now he was going to have the opportunity to see the source of such amazing change in the world too.

”I would have to say that you look older and wiser than when we first met. I would say you have seen what I have seen and things even greater as a leader than what I might learn in my life.” He looked down at his daughter and began to introduce her. ”This is my daughter the princess Diamond, I would ask you to call her by her first name but today she called herself Eva, she seemed to not like the names she had been given or tried out just yet, she is a bit unique.”

The princessʼs eyes still hadnʼt left Walker. They were entirely focused on his movements in every single aspect. Not a single bit of what he was doing even the slightest movements of his hands, were missed by her.

”I am pleased to meet you. I have heard a few rumors about your fascination with magic, especially space magic lately. I do wonder, can you see this?” Walker gathered a tiny bit of space mana in his hand before it bounced back to where it naturally wished to be. As her violet eyes grew wider, he began to understand what she might be able to see.

”With your permission, can I use my all around appraisal skill a few times on your eyes?” He was quick to act after seeing the kingʼs nod, he knew Walker was curious and trustworthy. He wouldnʼt come because he wished to cause harm and he also wanted to hear what Walker had to say since no one had really given him much answer to the reasoning why his first daughter acted so strangely.

Yes, his daughter had been amazing in her research of magic. She could even manipulate mana at its base form at such a young age. She even could tell people when someone was gathering mana to use an elemental magic skill. That alone was astounding and proof that she had a better affinity for magic than any other royal in her lineage.

Yet, it brought stress. Her actions in learning language, writing, and even other basics of how the court worked had been rapid, but she had ignored a lot of them to focus on the library and magical studies. Something that someone so small shouldnʼt be able to do.

It grew even more strange to him when he found that she had used magic to enhance her body and be able to walk steadily instead of shakily or clumsily like someone of her age. He knew that she looked like she was five or seven years old compared to what a two year old should look like. That and she spoke in ways that made her appear to be ten or fifteen years old, if not older.

ʼAncient mana eyes

The violet coloration within the eyes is not something normal, but it is an aspect of ancient humans who once existed as one with magic and nature due to the need for survival in ancient times. Some human villages and tribes were less inclined to learn of the way the world worked causing them to focus on the physical aspects like crafting or strength. Others focused on magic and that number was incredibly small making their lineage with violet eyes like this considered royalty or even gods once upon a time.

Their acknowledgement to see the flow of manas in various forms allowed for them to learn to increase other aspects of their body and greatly grow to understand mana as a whole. However, this was also what made them better food for ancient monsters since they would have more mana within them to nourish them.

Using the violet eyes, the humans who awaken this recessive trait within them will learn magic at a significantly greater pace until they find the mana that they feel the most acclimated to. This allows them to shape their body to have a more ideal affinity for that mana throughout their life.

As such they are considered to be one of the greatest in that field as long as they are able to learn appropriately. They do develop rapidly in other forms due to their innate lust for knowledge in the world around them, this has caused them to be isolated by their villages due to odd behaviors associated with superstition in the past. At times they were considered demons and not humans or they were considered ancient monsters called Fae which could not exist after the change in mana within the world…ʼ

Walker read the various appraisals out loud and managed to gather enough in to a condensed appraisal. King Diamond looked down at his daughter wondering just how his line had managed to become kings and royalty. Now he could understand some of the benefits that had remained dormant in his own body and the extremely far past of his ancestors that had never been recorded.

Originally he had believed it was purely leadership, but if they had lost part of what made them who they were many years ago but maintained strength enough to pursue safety for their people then this made a great deal of sense. ”So my daughter has managed to awaken something we lost and didnʼt even know we lost… how magnificent.” pride. Not just a little but clear and powerful fatherly pride in his history and what his very own child would do with it appeared in the smile and wrinkles near the kingʼs eyes.

”More magic please.” In turn, the princess seemed to be still entirely focused on the magic all around Walker.

”I can show you a lot more than just some magic. My magic is various, but Genesis is a place where magic from all races is welcome. We even had a magic tower where the best mages go to learn. I believe an archmage might even be taking control of the mage tower as its leader in a very short while. A young man is studying at the top of the tower, well just about the top, to become the master of the mage tower and help others learn more.”

He had her hanging off every single word. Her intelligence might not lead to her being incredibly chatty, but her intelligence was in her own thoughts and view of the world. She could see the mana being used and she wanted to know why. She wanted to know how. It was there and she would see it, so she wanted to know more about it no matter what.

”Space mana was what you used. More please.” She was focused on Walkerʼs hand and how the mana he had brought out was gone. She didnʼt know why or how that was possible. She just knew that she liked the color of it. The flow of it. She liked everything about it since she had seen the tiniest wisp of it after someone who used an elemental teleportation formation had visited the castle.

Since then, she had been focused on everything she could about space mana. It was the prettiest mana. The most elusive mana. It was incredibly attractive and she had to know. ”I can share what I know about space mana, but how about you tell me how it looks to you. My eyes see it too, you know.”
