Chapter 53 - The Royal Evenhart Family

  Katherine Evenhart:

  I was in Margaery's room, enjoying the afternoon while our childreraining their magiathan's element is Thunder, just like his father’s. A part of me was happy he ied Ethan's ability, and from what I’ve heard, he has two mana categories, allowing him to take advantage of Thunder as both a Transmitter and aer.

  It’s a dangerous element, and I hope my little one doesn’t cause any acts.

  A part of me was overjoyed because both Ethan and I had unos, so the ces of our child iing one of them were high.

  But he also has the Wind element, which makes him an anomaly like me or Kinue.

  Nathan has the ability to access another elemee having an unon one, which makes him special. Normally, users of unos only use their unique element. Oher hand, users of os, if they e from a family of excellent mages with a strong lineage, have more than one o. Nathan might have bee an anomaly because he’s desded from a High Elf, just like Kinue ahe three of us are anomalies due to the trated High Elf blood in us. The only difference is that we don’t have the pointed ears; when races mix, the human traits tend to dominate physically, but the bloodliill trates the power of both races. This has givehe Pnt element of the elves and Kihe Light element, while Nathan has mao bypass the elemental restri and possess another element.

  I’m also worried about the identity of h Elf retive…

  Margaery was all smiles, thrilled that Chloe ied both of her elements and is aer and an Invoker. My niece must have ied the Invoker mana category from her father. Invokers are very rare and highly sought after. They use their mana to manipute the mana of the surrounding atmosphere, and their talent lies in the ability to gee more vivid spells, eveing helper golems.

  Chloe, like me, has the Invoker category, making her a young prodigy. We wouldn’t even know how to teach her to create living spells due to her unique elemental nature. More than ever, we would have to send Nathan and Chloe to that Magic Academy in Apsalon.

  Margaery was smiling as we talked.

  “They’re truly treasures. My daughter was so scared to admit she’d beely practig magic that she didn’t tell me she could already use the Wind element and even bi with Water to create ice,” she said, ughing.

  After the scolding we gave them when they awakeheir Gems, I uand.

  “But what’s going to happen with her magic? Usually, Invokers are born with just one element. I’ve never heard of an Invoker who could use two elements, let alone bihem to use a third,” I said taery.

  We were worried about the magical education of these two si was challenging to teach them. Nathan had an uno, and none of us could teach him how to fight using his element sinly he has it. Chloe, oher hand, would need our help in part of her magical training, but she has the Invoker category. I could teach my niece a bit since I’m also an Invoker, but the problem is that she could create golems with a fused element, and we had no idea how to teaething like that.

  Margaery scratched her head, thinking about the trouble our children would give us due to their magical talents.

  “My nephew possesses two mana categories and has an uno, which makes teag him even more plicated. We help Nathan with the Wind element, but the Thunder element... we don’t even know where to begin. Thunder is pure offensive power. Fire is dangerous in a child, but it’s usually weak. We could teach him how to use fire to create a bonfire, warm himself up in the cold, and gradually increase the plexity of his magitil he learns how to use it for bat. But Thunder is dangerous and votile from the start, and we have no idea how to ha, let aloeach him how to bihunder with Wind,” she said thoughtfully.

  I nodded in agreement, ah sighed.

  “And then there's my little Chloe, who is an Invoker like her father, and she perform three-element invocations. Chloe summon a golem of water, air… and ice. Elemental fusion is powerful, and we have no idea how to teach her to create an i—I'm not even sure we should teach her just yet. Creating a golem is powerful, but it's equally dangerous... part of me is proud, but another part is worried that not knowing how to properly teach my daughter might cause acts. She’ll have a fused element golem… how will that be? She’ll o learn to trol the creature...”

  “Our children are going to be a handful… I’m gd they’re talented, but we’re only going to hold them bad limit them. We’ll teach them what we know within our limitations. You teach your daughter to master ice, and I help with the cept of being an Invoker. With Lady Adrihna’s method, they’ll learn to circute mana in a practical and effit way, making it easier for them to master their mana categories and evolve on their own. More than ever, we’ll have to send them to that Magic Academy...” I said, my heart heavy.

  Luckily, I’ll be going with them to that city—I would be heartbroken if I had to send them off to a distant pce alone.

  Margaery sighed.

  “These two… raising them is going to be tough,” she said with a ugh as she sipped her wine.

  “But I’m proud of them,” I said.

  “So am I. I expected them to be talented mages, but I didn’t expect them to be this talented. All that’s left is for them to show up tomorrow with Special Eyes,” she joked.

  “Don’t even joke about that. The kingdom is obsessed with those eyes and makes sure to catalog everyone who has them. Nothing good es from their obsession with trol...” I muttered.

  Margaery gripped her gss a little tighter, and the room began to feel colder. A part of her harbored aoward the kingdom. Even though we uood that the war created a sario ripe for such things, we couldn’t help but feel that it all could have been avoided if we had stayed together. But we were forced to follow the kingdom’s orders and were separated.

  She took a deep breath.

  “It’s in the past... I’m rec. I o stay calm...” she murmured to herself.

  We resumed our versation about how to train our children when she suddenly stopped talking and stared at me.

  “What is it?” I asked.

  “I was just thinking about something. How should I address you now? A dy of royalty...” she teased with a ugh.

  I had almost fotten about that...

  I days, I’d been dealing with the hat at some point, I would have to take my little Nathan to meet our family in the Elven kingdom.

  If it were just a normal family, I’d be happy to meet them, but this is the Royal Family of the Nemesia Kingdom...

  “Stop it, Margie. You know I didn’t ask for this. We mustn’t tell anyone and will follow Adrihna’s pn to keep this hidden even from this Kingdom. Only Adrihna knows the identity of that elf, and it must remain that way.”

  “I know… I was just teasing. Although, part of me is tempted to imagine how riight be, iing the fortune of a High Elf and a member of the Royal Family at that. Do you think you’re richer than a Grand Duke?”
