"So Blobby tell me everything Alexa likes..."
"Fern, this is so fun.... Uhmmm.. she like Motion Picture..."
"What's that?"
"Motion Picture technology created by the Freerien household, is technology capably of capturing images and making them move in parts called frames..."
Freerien House?
I've never heard of that house before
Frames?
How come these terms didn't stir any feeling inside of me?
"Please, carry on Blobby"
"Yayy, ok. She likes Flavored ice, trying dresses out even if she doesn't go out, have you seen her closet?"
"Ok that's it thanks Blobby"
"All good Fern"
"Before you go blobby tell me, how does the Estate get maintained?"
"I am the grounds keeper of the estate... Lady Alexa's magic fuels me making me capable of splitting into tinier fragments of light in that way I can me at multiple places at once"
That explains the light particles I saw in the garden when I had just come to the Estate the first time
"One more thing"
"What is it Ferm?"
I swear I just detected irritation from Blobby...
It was hard to tell since it was just a blob of light without a face or any identifying features
"Do you by any change have anything that I could you to store some of my element in so Alexa could still be technically connected to me?"
[Smart move Lord King]
The Mystery Man...
"As a matter of fact, I do"
A piece of metal appeared from thin air
"Here"
"What's this?"
"This Fern Lun is an Elemental Extractor, the details of what it is for is not really important at the moment. Just be rest assured that you could use this as a means to store a fraction of your Element for later use or in your case lend it to the lady, in order to use it slide it up her arm like a sleeve."
"Okay, okay. Please just prepare nice clothes for me"
"Got it Fern"
"Thanks, Blobby. You may leave now"
"Fern..."
Looking at the blob of light I had just asked to leave still in the room made me almost irritated
"Blobby what is it?"
"Lady Lantara would not like the fact that a person... such as yourself has any contact with her heir, just be careful and don't say I did not warn you..."
"What does that..."
*Foom*
Blobby vanished before I could finish my sentence
"AM I THE ONE THAT ABANDONED THEIR HEIR TO DIE IN SOLITUDE?"
I hated threats the most in this world, but for some reason since my sudden appearance a day ago I have been threatened more than a normal person should in their entire lifetime
For some reason the last statement Blobby made had me more that irritated, I was currently at the point of breaking something. The only thing that stopped me was when I remembered that I had Alexa next to me
I held the Element extractor in my hand and channeled some Element into it while trying to keep the cycle of giving my Element to Alexa and recycling it at the same time.
How did I manage all this in my sleep...
Was it the mystery man?
...
After ten minutes of tinkering with the device, I had finally gotten to function on Alexa's right hand
"Wake up..."
Squeezing the hand, I had in me
Alexa jolted instantly
"Fern Lun, what happened?"
"You were just tired, and you took a nap..."
I hated lying to her, but what was I going to say?
[Hey, Alexa, I'm the King of the Conduits and I'm being assisted by a Mystery man cladded in darkness who may or may not be the great evil who you hate so much and he's trying to help you out]
Even thinking this was not okay to me. Luckily the constant influx and recycling of my Element is causing her seed of mental intrusion to undergo changes
She looked around the room looking for something
"Where'd Blobby go?"
"Ohh. He had some estate maintenance to do"
"Ooo.. Kay..."
She was a calculative person so naturally she would have doubts that I was lying to her but she would not pursue the truth
I let go of her hand and she looked so puzzled like I was going to leave her to die
"You said ten days..."
"Yes I know that, but you have to take showers and dress up with other of your personal things so i had Blobby get me an Element extractor"
She seductive crawled towards me with a devious blush
"... Lord Francis, I wouldn't mind bathing with you..."
"Oh really"
*Laughter*
"No. Who do you think I am?"
"Hahahah, that was funny Alexa, didn't know you had a sense of humor"
She chuckled more giving me what was meant to be a pat in the back I'm sure, with her insane second-generation conduit strength, I felt my spinal bones shiver.
"Anyways..."
Getting up from the bed, I offered a hand to the most beautiful sight I had ever experience, and I'm sure my past life would agree with.
"...I'll get ready you should do the same"
She took my hand without any hesitation.
"Where are you taking me you don't even know where we are"
"I'll figure it out"
"Where do you plan for us to go?"
"Sorry lady, but you know I can't tell you that
"Fine, give me a few hours to get ready"
[Few hours?]
"I'm a lady Francis"
[What is it with ladies and spending long periods of time getting ready?]
I didn't say anything, it must have been the look in my face...
Francis?
"Francis?"
"You said you had suspicions on being the conduit King, and the name Francis is a good fit for you. Fern Lun is not really a good name"
She came in front of me, tipped-toed, and kissed me in the cheek
"See you"
She then hurriedly ran out of the room
Destination: Probably her room
...
As usual I was able to clean up pretty good, the only difference was that I had previously requested a nice going out outfit from Blobby, so I don't go out embarrassing Alexa.
It was a hot pink leisure attire matched with a rose-colored footwear which complemented my white hair to a stunning point.
I could just stare at my face in the mirror for hours
Now I knew why Lady Alexa took so long preparing, she was entranced by her own beauty.
The both of us were beautiful people
[Did ever think that you may have to recycle the Element on Alexa?]
"What?"
The voice vanished as soon as it had come. The voice of the Man cladded in pure darkness; I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to know who you truly are.
That's true!
The Element extractor only extracted my Element, it didn't recycle it. More like it couldn't recycle it, my presence was necessary in order to start that process.
"I'll just make sure I'm done before leaving to meet with Alexa outside..."
[Insanity was not far off for me, first it was talking to a man in my head, now it's talking to myself. How could I explain this to anyone?]
I looked amazing, as always
"Alexa, just you wait, I'll make sure these ten days are amazing", talking to myself in front of the mirror made me believe what I was saying as well
[I gotta go now]
I turned around and walked out of the bathing room into my room to see everything clean and neatly arranged, probably Blobby's doing.
"Nice!", I said to myself before exiting my room
...
I went outside my room to wait for Alexa who was already out, ready, and beautiful waiting for me.
What was with this beauty of hers?
She was dresses in the same color scheme as me, a hot pink attire and a pair of rose-colored footwear.
I stood frozen staring at the beauty in front of me unable to move or say a word
"Is there something on my face?"
"You look beautiful, Alexa..."
"Ohh.. Thanks" a blush appeared on her face "You're note too bad yourself, Francis.."
I walked slowly and with my best idea of how a royalty walk would look like
"Alexa Lantara, would you take my hand so that I may make these ten days the best ten days of our entire existence?", reaching out my right hand as I spoke
"You may Fer... Francis"
Without hesitation she gave me her left hand.
Day ten, nine more to go...
Together Alexa and I walked out of the mansion towards for me the unknown, for Alexa an everyday sight as she probably lived here for a while now.
Giving who Alexa was she probably tried to muster some of her energy to intrude my mind with no success it just wasn't possible
After all My plans have loopholes
