Chapter 7: Roxy

302 year, November 24, Noon

- Squeeze Madam, Squeeze! One of the maidservants shouted.

Today I will remember forever, today my mother gives birth to a third child! I am waiting with my sister outside her room. My sister really wants a little sister, because she already has a younger brother and she doesn't want a second one, but on the contrary, I always wanted a little brother with whom I can do various things, discuss girls, train with swords and play various games, I dreamed about this in my past life, but this was not destined to happen .

* BAM * * STEP-STEP-STEP *

- Julia, where are you !? - Having run into the second floor, my father asked.

An hour ago, a messenger was sent for him, who was supposed to report that his mother had started giving birth. In the morning, my father went to the city center to resolve the problems that appeared, of which, of course, the children were not told.

- Mom is in the room with Claire, Sylvia, and Rosa. - my sister answered.

Claire is my servant, Sylvia is my sister's servant, and Rosa is the main maid of our estate. Of course, we have two or three dozen maids, but now only checked ones are with my mother.

- In the room? Has it already begun?- Ask my father.

- What a stupid question? They wouldn't just call you ... she's been suffering for an hour here !

Although my mother has already given birth to two children, the third birth is too long, I'm certainly not an expert, but shouldn't the kind be around 45 minutes?

- AAAAA ... -my mother shouted and everything calmed down.

And literally an instant later a sweet children's cry was heard - hhh ... Ahh

As soon as we heard crying, the doors of the room opened and Claire invited us to enter - Sir, your wife has successfully given birth to a daughter.

After these words I felt offended, now I have two sisters, but I don't have a brother! What an injustice !!!

- URAAA, I HAVE A JUNIOR SISTER !! - My sister shouted and quickly ran into the room.

-Second daughter, right? I managed ...- My father finally calmed down and catching his breath he looked at me and asked - Esh, do you want to look at your little sister?

- Of course I want! - I said, and went into the room instead with my father.

Entering the room, I noticed that Emily was standing above a sleeping mom, and my younger sister was being held by Rose. As soon as she noticed my father, her expression softened and she, going up to him, carefully handed him his second daughter.

- Sir, after the birth, your wife immediately disconnected. Don't worry, she's fine, most likely she's very tired.- Having handed my sister to her father, she reported to him.

- Thank God that everything went well - Father looked at his mother, and continued looking at his daughter's face. " Last time, my mother and I chose the names for you, but now we decided to leave it to you, if you certainly want this. "

- "We want !!" - We said with one voice.

- Well then, then choose. - Having said that, he sat down on the bed next to his mother and urged us to look at our sister's face.

- Roxy! - I unconsciously said, seeing a joyful and peaceful smile on the face of my little sister

- Roxy? I like! Let's call her Roxy! "Emilia said instantly.

- So Roxy? - Esh, why did you choose that name? "My father asked.

- Um, I don't know ... just seeing her happy smile, I involuntarily thought about this name. - I honestly answered

- Well, I like it, and I'm sure your mother will like it too. - Having said this, the father handed the child to Rosa to put her in the bed there.

***

Two hours later, my mother woke up and was told about the name of our younger sister. Hearing the name of her second daughter, she looked at her pretty face and smiled her warmest smile.

In addition, while my mother was sleeping, I decided to use the assessment on my sister and find out what they would say to me.

These are the characteristics of my little sister, she even adopted the divine skill from my mother. The only thing I did not fully understand was why she had the "Element of the Earth", I had already read many books and never wrote that a child may have an element that their parents do not have.

- Aina why Rocks and appeared "Earth Element?" - I asked the system.

[ Learning from your mother's divine skill, which caused a change in her genes. ] - Aina answered my question.

- Changing genes due to the intervention of divine powers. In principle, it is logical, but why the Earth Element !? Aw, it doesn't matter.

Six months have passed since Roxy's birth, and she learned to crawl.

- Roxy want to play? - I asked the creeping girl with beautiful golden hair.

- Agu! - As soon as she crawled to me, she took a wooden cube from me and began to build a tower of them.

Watching my sister play, I smiled unknowingly. I wanted a little brother for myself, but the little sister is not bad either.

- Young Mr. dinner is ready. - Claire said to my room. - I ask you to go downstairs, I will take your little sister to your mother.

- Well, I go already. - I said, patting the Roxy on the head and headed for the door.

- Be careful on the stairs, young master! - Claire warned me.

- Good! - Leaving the room I headed to the dining room

Having lunch in the circle of an incomplete family, namely, sister and father, we remained silent. Emily read a magic book, my father opened and read letters that our butler Casian had brought earlier. Having finished reading one of the letters, he asked me to take the others to his office and gargling said: " Children, I received a letter from His Majesty the Emperor, he invites us to the third birthday of his daughter Al Isa, three weeks later, on June 15th . " - After a short pause on a sip of water, he continued - " The emperor knows that we had a daughter six months ago and therefore he will understand if we refuse to come. And since such a thing, I want to ask you, what do you think about this? " - Having asked us his question, he looked first at me, and then at Emily, who answered looking up from her book.

- I do not mind, I want to look at the capital. - Answering my father's question, she again went into reading.

Yes, Emilia is making good progress in elementary magic, but she is not given Light Magic at all, no matter how much her mother taught her, she does not work out. Therefore , even now, at dinner, she reads books on how to properly manage Life Energy inside her body. Unlike her, I already mastered the basics of controlling Light Magic and Magic of Darkness, I also make progress in the elementary magic of water and wind, which makes me very happy.

The basis of my teaching is neglected, there is no teacher of my sister eschewing me or something like that, they just do not want to teach me what I might not need, because I learn only when my sister makes progress in some then magic. They were all amazed at the speed with which I was able to perfectly manipulate mana in my body, they even gave me a magical tool that generates water if you fill it with mana, and gave me tasks - " Fill this bucket with water, if you can, I will give you gift " - to the surprise of not only my teachers, but also my parents, I mastered this unit in just 3 hours. And when the time came to the present, then each of the teachers handed me a magic book.

[ Elemental magic of wind basics ]

[ Elemental magic of fire basics ]

[ Elementary water magic basics ]

Now, in addition to the intrasystemic magic book for dummies, I also have books on which I can learn element magic myself!

- What do you think Esh? - Looking at me, my father asked, thereby tearing me out of my memories.

- I also do not mind going, but only if we go with the whole family! - Surely I said.

I do not want to go to an unknown city with only Emilia and my father, leaving my mother and Roxy at home, this is dishonest towards them.

- I'm not sure that we can go with the whole family. - my father said - The road to the capital on the most comfortable carriage will be one week, but if we take Roxy with us, it can take two or even three weeks, depending from what the weather conditions will be.

That's right, with a 6 month old baby, we won't be able to go all day, we'll have to stop very often so that mom can feed Roxy milk, it doesn't take much time, 15 minutes no more, but when you need to do this every three or four hours, this is already palpable. And the father is right, provided that there will be good weather, for no normal person, in his right mind, will leave the city with a six-month-old child in the rain.

- I'll talk to your mother, if she agrees, then tomorrow we will go to the capital. - Having said this, he got up from the table and headed to the room of his mother.

***

The next morning, we loaded our things into two large carriages, which were harnessed by four horses and headed to the capital. My mother did not even argue, she said - " I do not mind, I think Roxy also agrees. I am sure that we will not have any difficulties with the trip if it does not rain. "

Now, I, sitting in the company of Emilia and Claire, go to the capital. One of the obvious advantages of this trip is that with the help of the [ Cartography ] skill , I can remember the whole area, for this I just need to look out the window.

And so, every day, making stops in small towns and villages, we arrived in the capital after 12 days after departure from Aquos.

[ Empire Capital Kraus, Dares ] - A city named after the Hero of Darius.
