妻子的秘密

"She did, actually, but this regression has been going on for a while now…." I did not know what truly triggered this, but it did trigger somehow.

"There are many things that can trigger a bloodline awakening, it\'s just that this is the first time I have seen this kind of bloodline up close. So I will be keeping her under close observation from this day forward." Freidinia said as she put the blood sample aside. In the end, she drew three vials before she was done.

"Alright, then, I will leave my mother in your care." I nodded before pushing my mother back so I could see her face and said: "Mother, Freidinia will be keeping an eye on you. But I promise no matter what, you will get better, okay?"

"Faith doesn\'t want her Mother?" My mother\'s voice was soft and sounded sad, which caused me to immediately hug her as I answered: "I love you very much. But I will be busy for the next few days. But you will see me a lot, unlike before. You will see me graduate, you will see me get married, and you will see me become queen. Well, probably Empress with all the land we have now. I do not plan to go anywhere for an entire year before I begin dungeon diving again. And during this time, Freidinia will keep you company so you will not feel too lonely when I can\'t be at your side, okay?"

My mother looked up at me and smiled as she hugged me tightly. "My baby is getting married!" This seemed to have been my mother\'s biggest wish. And it made me feel glad that I came out of my no relationship loop. I can now rewind time so I can let everyone live forever if they so choose. But I will never force this upon anyone. They would get to decide if they wished to grow older or not. As for me, I think I might have reached my limit a few years ago. I did undergo a huge growth spurt when I reached fourteen that made me look older than I truly was, and now it has already caught up, and I look my proper age.

With my mother now in the care of Freidinia, I had some of the maids settle in Freidinia with a proper room near the medical wing. With this, I would not need to worry about Freidinia complaining about needing to walk too far to get to her lab.

The next few days, I spent time with my mother while Freidinia did her thing. But now it was time for my graduation exam. One thing I did not realize, even though I was gone for four years, was that I seemed to have become even more popular at the academy. As soon as I walked through the gates, I had people running up to me, wishing me luck on my exam. I guess after everything, in the eyes of the people of the kingdom, a demi human was no longer such a bad thing. I also noticed that many demi humans were now in the academy as well and none of them were being looked down upon.

This feeling of seeing such a change in such a short time really made me happy. Annie had also done a lot, and now almost seventy five percent of the slums were now converted into proper housing and cleaned up. Jobs had also expanded to new business popping up in the new east side section that was making money for families outside my own companies, which seemed to have expanded into other fields without me knowing. But my bank account keeps rising, so I will not complain.

"Faith, you are here." The dean smiled at me as he walked over to meet me.

I nodded and asked: "So, what do I need to do for the test?"

"You will fight me." The dean replied with a smile. "The written test can be bypassed due to all the merits you have gained over the years. To be honest, if you did not get your title of princess, you would already have enough credits to become a titled princess. But I guess I will be calling you by a new title soon."

The dean gave me a knowing look, making me purse my lips. "It\'s the old man\'s fault for trapping me."

"Haha! Looks like he finally got his wish. But come. The students are all waiting for a battle between me and the only one to become a magic knight in many years. Even Prince Lance did not have the ability to become a magic knight."

I followed after the dean, who led me to a large coliseum that seemed to have been built a long, long time ago. When it was created, I do not know, but they did do a good job of keeping it in shape. The whole place was set up for a fair one on one duel without any obstacles.

"I will go to the other side. The king himself is here to be the announcer and overseer of this battle." The dean pointed to the high tower not too far away to see the king hopping through the air and standing above the area.

"Today, I have the honor of overseeing a legend in the making. Crown Princess Faith Cyrilia has made many contributions to the Kingdom of Gravos and has proven her abilities through actions and not words. It is my pleasure to be here to see the first magic knight in many, many years. Today\'s battle will be between the dean of the academy. She only needs to hold her own against him for twenty minutes. This will be actual combat, so no summoning magic or other pet type monsters are allowed on the battlefield. Please show us your natural skill. Once everyone is ready, the battle will begin."
