Celine completed the Soul Reconstruction Ritual without any serious issues.
She was out of it for a few days, lying in bed with a severe fever, but that was already it.
The Vermin-tail Beetle, Celine's first Familiar, was still standing by her side, but it had grown a little larger.
The Familiar's strength improved due to the Soul Reconstruction Ritual. Not only did it alter the Soul drastically, reducing the number of Familiars she bind to her, but it also increased the potential of the two types of monsters she could link to her soul.
The Vermin-tail Beetle was a darkness-mutated poison-type monster. Being both darkness and poison attributed, it received a drastic boost in its potential. Celine's Soul Space and her Familiar were examined, and it was found out that the Vermin-tail Beetle might actually evolve.
That would provide Celine with a sharp increase in strength and it would increase her overall combat prowess as a Summoner-Familiar team.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye after Celine's Soul Reconstruction Ritual.
No new assassination attempt happened, which was probably the result of the heightened security around Nial. For the first half of the three years, Celine was trained by the Head Butler of the royal family. She was taught the rule of the royal family, what she was allowed to do, and where the lines were drawn.
Basically, the rules were pretty simple. As a personal maid, the Crown Prince was Celine's highest superior. Not even the Empress or the Emperor could overrule the Crown Prince's orders. Protecting the Crown Prince was the highest priority, and so was satisfying his needs.
Food, beverages, and cultivation resources should always be prepared beforehand, and the wishes should be accommodated as quickly as possible.
Celine was a quick thinker. She learned everything pretty fast, which was also why the Empress was glad that Nial chose to take her in rather than allow her to execute them for their grave crime.
The little charming girl was now ten years old, and she had already advanced to the Mirae rank. She created her first Superior Origin ring recently after working tirelessly to accumulate enough Mana to increase her strength just a little.
At the end of the day, she could only create the Superior-grade Origin ring because the Vermin-tail Beetle had evolved into a Giga Leminion Beetle. The Giga Leminion Beetle increased the amount of mana Celine could store in her Mana Core, which made it possible for her to cross the threshold to store enough mana droplets.
Her talent paled in comparison to Nial's natural, inborn talent, but that was not a surprise. Nial was only seven years old but he had already created his first Origin ring quite a while ago. He was already storing more mana droplets to create his second Origin ring.
His raw physical strength was much higher than Celine's raw strength. He excused himself by saying that Goldy's enhancement in strength allowed him to be so strong, but the physicians, instructors, and Celine didn't really believe him.
Nial never told them what grade his Origin Ring was. Thus, everyone believed that it was a Unique Origin Ring, the Royal Origin Ring.
However, only the Emperor could say whether that was actually the case or not. Being the only member with the bloodline of the royal family, the Emperor would be able to sense whether Nial's Origin ring was a Roya-grade Origin ring or not.
Nial was fortunate that the Emperor was not present. If not for that, he would have to start explaining what type of Origin ring he created. It was not the renowned Royal-grade Origin ring, but a type of Unique Origin ring nobody in the Lacardia Empyrean Void knew about.
His first Origin ring had been of the Ancient grade!
Why did he create an Ancient-grade Origin ring instead of a Royal-grade Origin ring? Nial didn't know.
How did he even know what it needed to create an Ancient-grade Origin ring? Nial forgot.
He could have created the Royal Origin Ring using the special method of the Lacardian Empyrean Void's ancient heirloom…but he didn't.
What exactly that meant to the royal family or Nial Ori…Lacardia, he didn't know.
If someone was to ask him whether he was fine or not, Nial wouldn't be able to answer.
'Just what is going on with me?'
Sometimes, or rather more often than not, Nial felt as if something was terribly wrong. He was not too sure what it was, but his mind was more developed than his body. It was weird to talk childishly and to act as if he was only seven years old when he actually felt much older.
His parents were powerful, but somehow that seemed like a farce as well. Nial felt like he could crush the entire Lacardia Empyrean Void in his palm if he desired to do so.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ Of course, that was not actually possible. He didn't have the strength to crush the Lacardia Empyren Void nor did he actually have the desire to do so.
He wanted to give his best to protect the Lacardia Empyrean Void. That was his true feeling.
However, something made him seem as if he didn't belong in this place. He was certainly a Creatoran and it felt right to have Goldly by his side…but everything else felt oddly fake as if he was never supposed to be there in the first place.
Nial couldn't get his hands around this weird feeling. It confused him too much, and he didn't like that feeling.
He just wanted to live a good life without any regrets. He loved his parents and he also liked spending time with Celine and everyone else. The dangers of possible assassinations were a little bothersome, but it was not actually something he was afraid of.
He could cover his entire body in golden scales by now, protecting him from attacks of Mid-level Mirae ranked attacks.
Using special means, he couldn't be killed by those at the Prometheus rank either.
There was no need for anyone to worry about him.
Only his mind was a little worrisome.
Thoughts and pictures began to resurface, just to disappear once again.
