Chapter 250 Chapter 250:Leaving A Threat
"My precious girl…."
"Shut up and step back." Julian blurted out instinctively.
Julian felt her blood pressure going above the horizon.
"That means you were listening to us."
With an embarrassed expression, the father-son duo who walked out of the secret room to greet her halted under Julian's sharp gaze.
Julian stared at them with a deadpan expression and asked,"Aren't you ashamed of eavesdropping others? An Emperor and Prince, secretly listening to the conversation of others. Do you think you would have any face left behind if this gets out?"
Kevin just averted his gaze as if she wasn't talking to him. Meanwhile, Ellen just shrugged nonchalantly.
"It's not as if he had any face left after playing around."
Kevin choked and glared at Ellen shutting him up, then he walked towards Julian with an amicable expression.
"My doll, we didn't mean that. We were just looking after you. Who knows what a boy in a room alone with a fairy like you will do? Remember men are beasts. You can't let your guard around them. Who knows when that beast will pounce on you0000 so your daddy was here to guard you." Kevin explained his reasoning and beat his chest.
Julian's lips twitched uncontrollably on hearing this. She wanted to refute saying that you are also a man but she decided to stop feeling headache from dealing with this dramatic duo.
Her third brother had ways of twisting words drafting black into white while white into black and this was a talent he inherited from this guy only.
"Did you hear everything?" Julian asked
"Umm!" Kevin and Ellen nodded their heads as if they understood what she meant.
"Any opinions?" Julian asked.
"I will not interfere with your deal but as for the treatment, I am skeptical about it.'' Kevin voiced his opinion feeling a bit stifled.
How can a boy have a cure for a Curse when the entire world doesn't have one? Kevin felt absurd hearing Lucas' words.
And if he had one then since when and from where did he get it? And how?
While Kevin asked Julian about her condition, Ellen picked up the diary and scrolled through it.
A very profound magic diagram appeared on the second page with notes on each circle, their uses and the number of strokes in each diagram. There were also several sets of runic arrays squeezed through the circle following which a vast amount of materials were required to make the mixture that would be used to draw the circle.
Just a look at it made Ellen dizzy. Though he wasn't a heaven-born genius, he was fairly accomplished and well-versed in magic but the profoundness of this was beyond what he could fathom.
'What, in the name of the seven hells is this? It looks legendary...no ancient powerful magic of mass potential. How can a kid find this?'
'No, even if he found it, can someone even copy such a structure? Only that old man Douglas can imprint this.'
"Hey, stop gawking at the dairy as if you have seen something heaven-defying."Kevin mocked seeing Ellen's eyes almost popping out from his socket.
"Even a low-class thing is enough to surprise him. This is what happens when he stays on the streets and plays around instead of studying seriously.
"Dad, take a look." Ellen ignored his father's mocking and spoke with a solemn expression, surprising Julian and Kevin a bit.
Kevin took the diary and started reading it but seeing Julian peeking curiously, he bent a little to allow her to see things.
And when the father-daughter duo went through it, expressions of shock and astonishment flashed in their eyes.
"It looks so complicated. Looking at it makes me wonder if I had studied magic properly."' Julian lamented.
Kevin didn't comment and went through it. With his experience and knowledge, he was able to understand some things.
It is like a conduit that takes the excess cold mana and converts it to hot mana which is then transferred back to the body that would clash against the cold mana.
This thing might not clear the root problem but it was enough to keep her safe from chill attacks. His fear of Julian freezing due to chill attacks and falling into a life-death crisis would be lessened a bit.
Kevin turned the page and looked at the series of materials with a frown. There were a total of 108 things that needed to be ground into a slimy mood and then a magic circle would be engraved behind her back.
"Now, this makes it complex. One can't afford to make a mistake in engraving it."
"Dad, that old man Douglas is fit for the job." Ellen said.
"I know that old man is good enough. However..." Kevin stared at the circle with a complicated expression.
"We don't know the true profoundness and mystery behind this and can't be entirely sure if this will work."
Julian stared at her brother and father's frowning expression and asked.
"Then, can't we look for someone else to make sure this diagram is safe?"
Though she believed in Lucas that wouldn't make her father trust the thing.
Kevin shook his head.
"Sir Douglas is one of the three Archmage of the current Era and his attainments are almost similar to the two of the Ralph Kingdom. So if he can't, then those two also can't."
"So, in that case, we can only find the Sage."
"Who?" Both Julian and Ellen were confused seeing their father talking about someone with a reverence that made them doubt if their father had gone mad.
"You will know later but for now just remember one thing. The Sage isn't a God but he is equal to God who is overseeing the world from a safe place and minimizing some sinister existence." Kevin answered but regretted it at the next second thinking if he had spoken too much.
"But the problem is, this doesn't eliminate the root ca..." Kevin's words struck in the middle as the next page lifted due to the wind.
Kevin squinted his eyes seeing the words Pennant Cure.
[Use the Blood Essence of Lava Dragon to permanently cure the curse.]
[Don't need to waste your time looking around. You can find one in Versailles City Fire Vein in the Dwarf Kingdom.]
[Warning: If you use Blood essence without the magic circle, then there is an 89% chance that she will burst out unable to assimilate. The Magic Circle will guide the heat emitted during assimilation to the perfect path and will keep the energy in a synergical path so no matter how bad the situation is, don't consume Blood essence without engraving the Magic Circle first..]
[And another thing, if you are looking for the Principal, he is in Hames City in the Demon Continent. You can find him in Tavern's name I don't remember but as far as I had seen, you will find him flirting with the Hostess of the Tavern. Please inform Vice-Principal Josh to look there and ask him to come back to the Academy within 5 days.]
Kevin's eyes almost popped out of their socket for a moment.
'What the hell did I read? Is this diary written by a kid or an omnipotent being? And what did he mean by seeing?? Is he a seer?'
Kevin rubbed his chin wondering if he should investigate the matter.
Kevin skimmed the page and saw another message that seemed to be directed at him.
[Your Majesty, if by chance you are reading this. I hope you don't burn the bridge after you cross it. I swear and I am even prepared to take a mana Oath that I would never do something to harm Julian. All, I think, is for the benefit of Her Highness. However, despite this, if you take the matter into your own hands and try to cause trouble for me, I only have three words for you.]
[9th September 2072.]
The moment Kevin read the date, he closed the diary immediately in bewilderment and cursed.
"Fuck You!"
"What?!"Julian and Ellen screamed.
Kevin's body froze seeing Julian and Ellen's expressions. Hiding his awkwardness, he ordered.
"Ellen, we found a permanent cure. Ask that number one to go to the Dwarf Kingdom now and inform them that we are going to hunt The Fire Dragon in Versailles."
"And ask number two to handle the intelligence department and pass the message that Sir Douglas is in Thames City. I will give more information later."
"Go.....Go.....Stop standing and wasting time and inform the other two."Kevin shooed Ellen away and then looked at Julian.
"My baby Princess, give me an hour. I will come back after arranging things."
"No problem, but give me the diary. I want to study it."
Kevin felt a chill down the spine and his back was drenched in sweat.
"No, Julian. I need to take this. There is some additional information here that I need to look for." Kevin spoke and ran away as if life was online under Julian's confused expression.
'Damn you, Leonard, what kind of vicious cub did you give birth to? Fuck, he isn't even twenty.'
'I haven't even started making things hard for you but you bastard already threatened to burn my house.'
'What the hell?'
