Chapter 13 - Something harmless

"I asked you a question frau." Eris said growing impatient. "Do you or do you not, have a book that teaches how to make things using magic?" She asked the question again.

Elsa getting out of her daze, looked at the girl. "Young lady, what do you mean to make things using magic? Making things out of thin air is impossible." She explained.

"You need to gather the raw materials and have to know how to mix them and other complex alchemical formulas to make the raw ingredients mix without issues. Only the magical artisans of the royal family can do something like that."

Eris looked curious. "Is that so? That is a rather handicap." She said not looking at Elsa but focusing on the book at her hand.

Something fell into Eris' eyes, 'offensive explosive magic' reading deeply, she saw the basic formula. It was just like firing a bullet. An explosion, a fireball that would fly towards the enemy and explode on the target.

'Nice, why didn't I see this before?' she thought in her mind. She has found a way to make a gun. She immediately rushed outside the room to the garden of the palace. Though her dress and her body size made her movement slow and Elsa could follow her with ease.

This was a place she remembered coming to but never seeing herself. But these were useless details. Just like the beautiful red roses and white lilles along with other beautiful flowers of different

Reading the book, she memorized the spell. Then she pointed her hands at a nearby tree and fired the spell. A small red ball came out of her hand and exploded on the tree without really causing much harm.

The explosion was rather puny. But Elsa who came running behind her sighed in relief. She didn't know what the troublesome young lady had learnt and before she could think of anything, Eris had done her experiment.

Elsa yanked Eris by her arm and pulled her closer. "What are you trying to do young lady?!" She scolded, "Playing with such dangerous magic? This has gone far from any quirky behavior."

Eris was reminded of her time when she was still a recruit going through training getting scolded by the feldwebel. Though now there was a significant difference. She was the leader, the young lady of this house while Elsa was her maid.

"Do not question my actions frauen. Get me some.... mmmm" Elsa pressed her mouth shut before Eris could complete her sentence.

Elsa pulled Eris once again in her arm back to her room. This time Eris knew better than to struggle and followed along quietly. "Stay here," Elsa said before locking the door and going away. Leaving Eris with the book.

Rommel took full advantage. Something that resembles a gun, a barrel and a grip. Though the barrel was not rifled so the accuracy of the thing was questionable. Though she now had a breech loading magical pistol in her arms.

Some hours passed while Eris found small bullets for her makeshift gun to fire using the explosion magic. It was almost evening when Elsa came in, "Your dress is here young lady." She saw Eris with the weirdly shaped object in her hand.

"What is this?" She asked. "Nothing," Eris replied calmly. "Just a small barrel with a pistol grip." She explained, "It is harmless and does nothing."

Elsa gave her a side eyes glance and took the gun from Eris and checked it thoroughly. She confirmed it was nothing and returned it back along with the dress.

"Do you need any help wearing this?" Elsa asked. But Eris wasn't in the mood to reply. She took the dress and rushed into the bathroom. Ditching her frilly dress she immediately wore the uniform and hid the gun inside the holster.

Elsa was surprised to see her like this. The little girl looked oddly handsome and cute in the weird dress that would make anyone frown. "Now you shall address me as Herr Generalfeldmarschall." Eris ordered.

Elsa once again learned something new about her young lady who could now utter such complex words in a breath. But she didn't care. She picked Eris up once again, placed a small kiss on her cheeks and put her to bed.

Eris or Rommel once again humiliated by this child treatment. "You look cute." Elsa said. "The master and mistress will be late today, they have to sort tomorrows matter out as well. I am bringing you dinner."

Elsa also had other opinions in her mind. Eris may look cute in that dress but she is NOT allowing her to wear that in front of the prince tomorrow. That is a hard no. It would've been ideal if the duke and the duchess were here, but since they are not, she'll have to do.

For the rest of the time Eris/Rommel acted rather calm and tame but always asking Elsa to address her with that rather weird title.
