Chapter 44 Morning Incident
The next morning, Rebecca visited Sara's room directly.
"Good morning, Miss Rebecca. How are you this morning?"
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Rebecca greeted Sara and asked about the reason for her visit.
"Good morning. Ms. Sara, it seems that His Excellency the Marquis wants to have breakfast together this morning. Maybe Rob will also be present."
"Oh, I see. Since Uncle was also there yesterday, breakfast might be lively for a while."
Getting out of bed, Sara washed her face with the water Maria had prepared. Rebecca sat on the couch and spoke to Sara, who was getting ready.
"Ms. Sara, let's inform His Excellency the Marquis about the manifestation of your magic."
"Sooner or later, news of the magic manifestation will spread, so it might be a good idea to make a self-declaration first."
Rebecca's tone became like that of a child who doesn't understand things easily.
"It seems like you still don't fully understand your value. Maybe I didn't explain it well."
"I have been taught by Miss Rebecca that I possess all attributes and have fairy friends."
"So, isn't it Rare? And currently, in this country, besides Ms. Sara, only His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince possess all attributes. We talked about that, right?"
"Yes, I heard."
"In addition, among the current members of the royal family, there are none who have formed a bond with fairies."
At this point, Sara finally began to recognize the dangerous situation she was in.
"Does that mean I'm the only one with the blessing of the fairies and possessing all attributes?"
"I'm glad you understand. Ms. Sara, you are a truly unique existence, far surpassing someone like me. If you want to decide how to live your life, you must thoroughly protect what should be kept secret. If things continue like this, not only Ed, but also the royal family and the church will try to control you."
After finishing her preparations, Sara moved to the couch where Rebecca was sitting and elegantly sat down.
"I honestly had no idea it would be like this. What should I do...?"
"Let's assume that the fact that you manifested magic is already known. But since you have all attributes, you should probably keep that secret."
"Which attributes should I declare?"
Rebecca made a gesture as if to think for a while.
"Well. Since many people have already seen you use wind and earth magic, you can't avoid declaring those. Also, it would be difficult to hide your fire attribute, which is common in the Grandchester family, and your water attribute, which you manifested first."
"Would it be difficult?"
"Because it's convenient. Ms. Sara, you use it a lot, right?"
"That's true."
Sara had to nod. After all, the fact that she used magic to quickly mow the lawn that she should have left to a servant.
"Even though you manifested 4 attributes, it's not like you're the only one. There will be a few of them among the students at the academy."
"Even so, doesn't that make me a very valuable person in a way?"
"That's true. But since Ms. Sara is a woman, they probably don't expect you to be able to use all of your magic."
"You manifest magic, but they don't expect you to use it?"
It's a waste that even though you manifest magic, you're not expected to use it. However, it is hard to imagine a noblewoman using magic to mow the lawn.
"Unfortunately, there is no place for noblewomen to use magic. The only exception is perhaps healing magic with the light attribute."
"Do you mean like a saint?"
"In the church, women who can use healing magic are called saints, but men who can use healing magic are priests, so I think women could also be priests..."
"Let's just say that it's a male fantasy."
"Hehehe, with Ms. Sara, even the church doesn't stand a chance."
"I don't mean to belittle them..."
"Anyway, let's hide all of your attributes except the 4 you've already shown. Since you haven't manifested them yet, it's not a lie. As for the fairy's blessing, I think it's best to hide it as long as possible. The limit would be 15 years at most."
"I understand. I'll do as Miss Rebecca says."
Then, in a flash, Rebecca's mischievous smile blew away the serious atmosphere.
"I think that His Excellency the Marquis will probably offer to give Ms. Sara a congratulatory gift."
"How much can I ask for? Cash is out of the question, right?"
"Of course it is. What family heads often give as a congratulatory gift for the emergence of magic is land or a mansion. Or they may give valuable magic stones, gems, or art. Women who have their own assets are less likely to be neglected in their marital homes, and even if they are divorced, they won't have to worry about their livelihood."
"Is the manifestation of magic really that valuable!?"
"Yes, it is. That's why I think Ms. Sara should ask His Excellency the Marquis for the rights to the tower where Paracelsus' laboratory is and the surrounding land."
"!!!!"
'That's... That's playing your trump card!!'
"Will he really allow that?"
"If Rob doesn't say anything extra, it's just an abandoned tower and garden. ‘I want something in the Grandchester territory that I can call my own. If I may, I'd like to study and practice magic in the tower that my great-grandfather left behind.' How about something like that?"
"If I can also get permission to hire someone in the name of researching materials, that would be perfect."
"Even that is probably cheaper than Chloe's dress and accessories."
Sara and Rebecca glanced at each other and exchanged sly smiles. They held hands as they headed to the conservatory where breakfast had been prepared.
