Free Web NovelChapter 65: The Count’s Mysterious Present
Then Prince Therion also stepped forward and presented her with an Arcane grade sword, causing the crowd to erupt in excitement once again.
Because only viscounts and above were able to afford this grade of sword, as many barons are still living with only enchanted grade swords.
"Ah, if only I could get my hands on an Arcane grade sword..."
"Do you know? The last Arcane grade dagger that appeared on the Capital Auction hall was sold for 20,000 gold coins."
Count Magnus and Elias also examined the sword, and after a brief look, they found it satisfactory.
Because Elias also has an arcane grade sword, which his father gifted him on his 18th birthday.
The Countess smiled brightly at the gift, while Octavia only gave a slight nod toward it, as she was not particularly impressed.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Nyra properly thanked him, to which he nodded with the same boring expression and returned back to his seat.
But this time Nyra didn’t return back toward her seats, as the imperial princess was already moving toward her.
"You have grown so much, little Nyra~"
Lysandra playfully pinched Nyra’s cheeks while saying in a cheerful voice, on which Nyra’s face became red.
Because whenever Lysandra visits their territory, she often does this.
The Count simply looked at everything with a calm expression, while the Countess smiled happily, already accustomed to Her Highness’s behavior.
Meanwhile, Octavia could only shake her head.
Everyone from the crowd smiled at this, but Luke just stood there and didn’t react much, and the same for Aurielle as well.
"Here, the present for my little sis."
Lysandra presents the deeds paper of some mines to Nyra while saying this.
Nyra looked worriedly towards the deed paper and completely ignored the sis part.
Because the imperial princess always told Nyra to call her big sis but she didn’t dare.
But the deed paper she was holding belonged to some large mine, which is almost equal to the worth of some viscount territory.
Lysandra saw Nyra’s hesitation and said it with a normal voice.
"You have grown up, Nyra, and now you will have many things to spend money on. That is why you should take it."
Nyra got stunned by this, and finally, with a reluctant expression, she took the deeds.
The Count’s expression remained unchanged, as wealth held little importance to him. Meanwhile, the Countess only smiled warmly at Nyra.
But Oryn, from the side, saw all of this with a jealous expression.
Because he was never given much money, as there were many other princes and princesses in the Sea Empire.
So when he saw someone receive mines worth the value of a Viscount territory, he became jealous, but he quickly controlled his expression and hid it.
While Therion still didn’t care about his stepsister this move and just calmly looked at the front while waiting for this event to be over.
"Damn it, if someone donates that mine to me, I will become a viscount in a single day."
"You? Look at your face and your title, which belongs to a baron. Even if someone mistakenly gave it to you, the next day it will be gone, and you will be found dead in some gully."
Luke heard everyone’s exclamations along with their mocking voices towards each other.
Then he asked Aurielle about the worth of Viscount territory, but she answered, "It depends on their size and specialty, and still the minimum one has."
"100,000 Gold Coins."
Luke’s mouth fell silent after hearing the price, and he glanced toward the system inventory.
The 10,000 gold coins were still lying there quietly, but now he no longer felt as overwhelmingly wealthy as he did at the beginning.
After Nyra thanks the princess and she returns back toward her seat, everyone eyes turns toward the remaining seats.
On this Naivara stood up first, and with a little smile, she reached toward Nyra.
"Here."
She presented her a blue bracelet and said.
"With this you can unleash a Silver Peak attack five times." freewebnovel.cσ๓
Nyra’s eyes widened, as she knows about this type of artifact, even though its rank is not high, but only master craftsmen can make it. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Thank you, Naivara."
She thanked her, to which Naivara only nodded before turning back toward her seat.
However, as she turned, she glanced slightly toward Luke and saw that he was still being lovey dovey with Aurielle.
"Can’t he control himself? Doesn’t he see that his wife is also here?" she thought with an irritated expression before finally sitting back in her seat.
Lysandra, who often looks toward Aurielle, also noticed Naivara’s gaze and muttered something in a low voice.
"Interesting."
Finally, Elias gave Nyra an silver rank armor, and her mother gave her a small hairpin.
Nyra kept a warm smile on her face the entire time, never allowing even the smallest sign of disrespect toward the gifts presented by her family members.
Finally, the Count stands up, and the crowd instantly becomes quiet, as everyone’s gaze turns toward him, including Luke and Aurielle.
"Father."
Nyra saw her father finally coming, which means he is going to give her something good, which he always does.
Magnus saw the smile on Nyra’s face, and also a small smile appeared on his lips for a moment before disappearing.
"This is your birthday present."
He said those words before passing her a magic scroll.
Nyra got confused after seeing this while other members of the chair also raised their brows with curiosity.
As everyone became curious, the count said something that cleared their doubts but also generated a new curiosity.
"This thing will save your life in danger."
That’s the only word he said before returning back towards their seats.
Everyone became curious and started guessing about what that magic scroll was, and so was I.
"Hey, Nyx, what is that?"
I called Nyx, who was sleeping inside me.
Nyx woke up but didn’t come outside; instead, from the inside, he replied.
"It’s a teleportation magic scroll."
With that, he returns back to sleep.
"teleportation."
I thought about those words, then nodded. Yeah, a definitely life saving item.
