Wow, I’m really strong. I’m even famous now.

Silverd widened his eyes and the edges of his mouth tugged upwards before he let out a boisterous belly laugh. “Ha ha ha! Simply amazing!” The effects of absorbing this national treasure had surprised even the king.

“Heh heh, Ein, you’ve become even more wonderful now,” Olivia chuckled.

“Erm, uh, thank you?” Ein said.

“Hm, this is indeed a great result, but there’s something that’s been bothering me,” Silverd muttered. He was very impressed by the outcome, but he also seemed to have realized something. He put his hand on his mouth and glanced at his daughter. “Olivia, were you planning all this from the start?”

The air turned tense and Olivia gave a look of defeat. “Oh, did you figure me out?”

“A lot of things just didn’t seem to make sense. You dote on Ein so much, yet you seemingly didn’t realize his ability to absorb magic stones.”

Since when? Ein thought, but decided to ask a more straightforward question. “Grandfather, what are you talking about?”

“Nothing much. Just that Olivia had been carefully planning for this day.”

Ein seemed confused, but Olivia smiled down at her son. “I was afraid to take root in Rogas. I knew that my actions were for Ishtarica, but I wasn’t prepared to offer my life to live and die by his side.”

Her phrasing sounded familiar, but Ein had missed his previous opportunity to ask about it and could only listen in silence.

“I never gave myself over to him as his wife. It’s unforgivable, but I’m a dryad. Even the thought of taking root in Rogas made me cry,” she said, looking grim. “But if my marriage didn’t bear a child, our nation’s secret agreement wouldn’t be fulfilled. As such, I brought you into the world as a dryad, Ein.”

Silverd’s face also grew tense for he was filled with guilt.

“I thought about your happiness, Ein. The constant comparisons to Glint and your treatment were so horrible that I don’t wish to even think of it. It gave me no reason to stay in that household,” she said.

However, with the need for sea crystals still being a major issue, Olivia decided to solve that problem herself. “Considering your power to absorb magic stones and the lack of nonhumans in Heim, you may have been killed for it.”

She guessed that Ein could absorb magic stones, but the risks of a public declaration in Heim prevented her from saying anything. With her son’s best interests in mind, she made plans to return to Ishtarica. That was her gambit until the day Ein could absorb the Dullahan’s magic stone. I-Is she serious? She’s been thinking about this day for that long? The boy was astounded when he heard of her story, but Silverd remained silent.

“So Ein was born using your dryad abilities?” the king asked.
