A breakthrough and after that

After she had lunch and chatted about how her day was with her mother, Erika went to her room to take a nap. She was displeased with herself for not learning more about gunpowder and their composition. She had effectively hit a dead end. Without gunpowder none of her weapons will work and without weapons, her private army would be utterly useless. thinking on it again she started thinking about her previous approach and enthusiasm again. "That's right, it is only the first step. I will face more severe problems in the future. Like if creating an army was so easy then everyone would have an army in her original world. Damn you weird moustached painter. How did you do it so easily." She started thinking again. She knew how guns work. So she had the idea of how gunpowder works. She just doesn't know how to make it. " That's right! I maybe able to use magic. Instead of using my craftsmanship magic if I infuse the shell of the cartridge with raw mana and then startle it by hitting the cartridge in the back with the firing mechanism, it may force the mana to expand quickly enough to fire the bullet." She almost rushed out of her room with excitement unable to wait even a minute. She went straight to the backyard and worked on her theory. After some trial and error, she was able to make a magic bullet that will work exactly like the real one. "Emil, Bauer! Come quickly. I have succeeded! My experiment is successful! I did it!" "What is it milady? Asked Bauer. "Milady did the thing you made earlier works?" asked Emil. "Yes! it does look, I will show you first and then train you on using it."

"Wow milady! That's a very powerful weapon you made. This thing is fabulous. With this no one can harm you or the Dukedom." said Emil. "milady how did you acquire the knowledge to make such a weapon?" inquired Bauer. "Yes but it is a crude one and I don't plan on using it. You two will train using this weapon. I will slowly reveal to you my plans now. You'll understand slowly." "We trust you milady."

"Listen carefully you two, I want to entrust you with the knowledge I have gained and want to trust you with this matter." She started explaining them her situation and plans. But instead of talking about her death, her previous life and her wehraboo nature, she explained them, "During the time I was sleeping God made a revelation to me. He explained how I was destined to doom in the coming years and they bestowed me with the knowledge to overcome my doom. He want me to use these weapons and more powerful ones to make an army that will be loyal to me and save me, my family and by extension the entire dukedom including you from certain doom. Do you trust me on this?" "We trust you milady. Only this weapon has shown that God has really bestowed upon you heavenly knowledge." "Wait did milady just said that God has bestowed the knowledge for even more powerful weapons?!" asked Emil curiously. "Yes, he has you will see soon enough. This one called a Kar-98K Mauser rifle is just for training you two and experiments. I will very fast start making more powerful ones. After I have made enough weapons and their ammunition I will start recruiting soldiers for my army. But you two must keep it secret from my mother and father. They are already busy with their duties as is but they still make time to spend with me. I don't want to trouble them more." "As you wish milady." Replied Emil and Bauer.
