Year 998
2 hours later, Me, Crista and Ms. Zachary in the living room, Crista is preparing drink for us.
"Seth, I will tell you want happened"
Ms. Zachary told me what she knows, They got an anonymous message of a assassin will kill her. She run away of the church after the news she receive. Right now She's in hiding for awhile. Of course being one of the high nobility because of his grandfather. She's in fact get a higher risk of getting assassinated. It's because of the Selection.
She's one of the 4 Light Affinity. And they can only pick 1 light affinity to handed the Staff of Lumière. because of this Staff is a gate way to the middle of the continent where the shrine was created during 800 years ago. And need it's blessing and possibly kill the Defected Dragon.
But only people with Light affinity can wield it. and if the person wield it. She/he will become a priestess/priest to the Kingdom. And the family will also rank up to the nobility. If a non-nobility person become a wielder of the Staff of Lumière.
"I see now... I will try to protect you and plus I have some basic training in my hand" I swing my sword and Ms. Zachary laugh and said "Also you Crista... are you going to be okay here alone? Or you want to watch the event?"
She replied "I will try. But I want Seth decision about it"
"I won't mind, but if something gone wrong use your affinity to protect your self. I gave you basic training during our traveling"
"Okay, I will go back to the Capital. Tomorrow Morning I will pick you up Crista and Seth, Also bring something Formal Crista your a the first ever outsider in this kingdom in the past 100 years"
Ms. Zachary leaves the house, and I ask Crista if she's really okay, She replied "I'm fine, It's not like I'm being forced to go, It is my decision to replied after all"
"I guess I can't forced you that but, If weapon law is ban during the event put a strap with a dagger in the leg for self defend- But now I keep this for safetly"
"Isn't this?"
"Yeah, one of the sword when I look for the Crystal wine is, Ms. Zachary gave us the bag after the quarantine"
"Oh yeah what happened to the wine?"
"It's already gone, I think they examine it and find it suspicious and remove it. But i I think only Ms. Zachary knows it and probably remove it"
"Well At least for tomorrow, we will see the rest of the Capital, and plus where probably going to be a representative If Ms. Zachary won"
"Yeah... Since the lockdown, most of the population haven't seen a human for so long only the guards or Traders"
After our conversation. We gone to our room in a separate bed, and finally sleep for tomorrow.
4 in the morning
I wake up and Crista gone in her bed I gone to the living room and see the Old skirt Uniform that Is folded in the Table
"Wait are you gonna where that!?"
"I don't have a choice, It said Formal. I don't have any good dress"
"But are you sure about using that? That's your classmate Clothes you know?"
"I- I know, but I try not to mind it. Even do it's hard to forget"
"Why not tell Ms. Zachary that you don't have a formal Dress? You could just use the Clothes given by us"
"I mean sure. It's not like Where really a Nobility, I guess I will just used the Clothes when I gone to the City town"
2 Hours gone by and, Someone knock to the door I opened it and It's Ms. Zachary with A Carriage.
He stated what happened when she came back to the capital. She was forced yet again to Hide by Her Family And the entire Capital City is on Lockdown, Only people whose have permit is allow to enter.
Despite that, Winter is also coming. But since this place is near the Equator, Only the few region of the kingdom is Heavily effected. But that also where most of te Livestock at. Despite the entire Kingdom uses Wheat and vegetables as It's biggest supplies they also need Meat.
80% of Elf needed Meat to survive because of It's Mana Affinity uses More than normal Human. If a Elf Uses all of it's mana. and they use it again, Instead of the mana it's their vitamins is getting reduce. If one of the important Vitamins loses, They will started using there lifespans. And can easily damage.
That said. It's important that a priestess/priest needed to selected so This type of Event doesn't cost so much food and money.
Crista and I already have permit because of Ms. Zachary now where going to her House.
The Carriage stops and A Guard told us to wait.
We where given A passed. And we leave the checkpoint. "First check point is done" Ms. Zachary said
"Wait there's more?" I said to her
"Yeah, 2 more ahead"
The Carriage stops again in a second time and We where forced to live the carriage and examine.
"Human? Hey, Ms. Zachary are they legally live here?"
"They where given A Valid permit, and they are now Classified as Citizen here"
"Well The permit did said that, I guess Your free to go"
We headed back to the carriage and gone to the last checkpoint. Carriage piles up, And we're in waiting. I look outside the carriage I see the houses nearby Just like when we got here. When where get quarantine.
The carriage move little by little and 20 Minutes later they finally to the Check point. We where forced yet again to leave our carriage but this time we where examine to a House.
They check our Permit, and said all Valid. Nobility or not they don't care. A permit is a permit they said again. And One of the guard told us.
"Hey Missy, You have a hidden dagger in your legs, Weapon is bannable outside this house. drop it down or have a License"
"I..." Crista said, she can't speak properly and I said "We will get a Permit, How long is the registration?"
"About only a few minutes, They only need to examine the blade and create a Exact replica of it and slap a Licensed sticker in it. Removing it is a crime and will sentence to jail... Of course that also To both of your sword. But since you are a guard to Ms. Zachary That is overlook"
"Okay..." I said to the guard.
Couple minute passes. The guard open the door and said "Your free to go"
And hand over the dagger to Crista.
We got inside the capital and we headed to Ms. Zachary's house.
