Manners

-Inside Bastian's Ship-

Morning in Leona's room, Desmond was seen on the lap of Leona, who was giving breast milk. She smiled at her son and said while touching desmond cheek, "Ah, my baby. You are so cute."

"Whose son is this so handsome, that's my-"

'Hold it… hold...'

"Baby," she said while kissing Desmond in the cheek.

'....'

'This is so embarrassing.'

Desmond, who was on her lap, suddenly heard a noise from outside the room. Desmond saw the expression of his mother changed from happy to frowned. Her mother then clapped her hand, and immediately a female servant entered.

"Why is it so noisy outside? Can't you see it's still early morning, and I'm breastfeeding?" Leona said while looking at the servant with narrowed eyes.

"Sorry, my lady, but-" Before the servant could finish, Desmond heard a loud footstep and saw his father enter the room.

Bastian, who had just entered, immediately turned his head towards his wife. He smiled as he said, "Unfortunately, we have a guest. It looks like a messenger from the Grandmaster because they come with many guards." Bastian then looks at the maid and tells her to leave.

When Leona heard this, her expression became ugly. She took a breath and then began to smile and spoke, "Ah, so it's from Grandmaster. Honey, you welcome them, I'll catch up when I finish breastfeeding Desmond."

"Yes, honey," Bastian answered directly and walked out of the room.

After a few minutes of his father coming out of the room, Desmond saw his mother stand up and put him on the bed.

"Wait a minute, my baby, mother, has to do something first," Leona said in a loving tone with a smile.

Desmond saw his mother standing by the window while looking outside the window, and then her mother chanted a spell. After the chanting is finished, suddenly, Desmond's vision was covered by blue light. After a few seconds, his vision returned to normal again. Then Desmond saw his mother face, who was previously energized, now became a little pale.

'System, analyze this spell.'

'Humans now can also use animal abilities.'

'Really, with magic, all things that are impossible can be done.'

'Interesting...interesting...'

Desmond saw his mother come to him and said, "Now it's safe my baby, let's continue."

-North Empire Harbour-

This morning should be busy because many goods are ready to be delivered or sent, many people open their shops to make transactions. But strangely, the people at the port even gathered on one ship. They noticed a woman who was guarded by many royal guards. It could be seen that the Woman was waiting for someone in front of the ship.

"Eh, isn't that Master Wizard Noel?" whispered one of the people in the crowd.

"Yeah, that's right. It's unusual, what was she doing so early at the port?" replied one of the people in the crowd.

"Could it be that someone caused trouble with her?"

"She indeed causes a lot of trouble, but people will accept it and never fight back.

"Who would dare to beat a GrandMaster student."

"Yeah, that right, but yesterday I heard from the guards who were patrolling around the cruch receive a report that says there was an assassin attacking near the church.

"The Guard said that the person who was attacked suddenly disappeared and came back injured."

"Is that true?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the ones who were attacked were the newcomers who arrived here yesterday."

"That is why Master Wizard Noel must come to investigate this matter."

While the crowd continued to discuss, the Woman who was called a Master Wizard Noel waited with an irritated expression on her face in front of the ship.

"Oh god, I've been waiting for a few minutes. Why haven't they come yet ?!" Noel said in a high tone while stamping her feet on the ground several times.

A few minutes later, an adult man was seen coming out of one of the ship's rooms and disembarking while looking at the crowd.

After Bastian left Leona's room, he headed straight to the stairs going to the ship's deck. When he came out, he saw many people crowded around his ship—the crowd, pointing their hand in one direction.

There, he saw the figure of a young woman with a lot of royal guards behind her. The young Woman's age was around 22 years old, with yellow hair in pony style, reaching 160cm in height. The first impression of Bastian is it there is no way a woman like this could become a Grandmaster's subordinate.

To make sure, Bastian approached and asked the person behind the Woman, "Hello, are you guys come here in the order of the Grandmaster?" asked Bastian in a polite tone, ignoring the look of the Woman behind him.

The soldier did not answer but gave a signal by tilting his head towards the back of Bastian. Bastian, who saw this, understood and immediately turned around.

When he turned around, he saw the young Woman's angry face while a fire flower was floating around her body. When he saw this, Bastian immediately lowered his head and spoke, "Sorry for my manners, who did not recognize you."

"Hump," The Woman who wants to burn Bastian alive cancels her spell. She remembers his teacher's warning about not to cause a problem with this newcomer.

"I apologize for the previous incident. May I ask you a question? Are you the messenger sent by the Grandmaster?" Bastian asked with a polite tone while pressing the palms together.

The Woman who heard this calmed down her anger and replied in a polite tone, "Yes, we were ordered by Master to escort you to the inner city."

'Hmm? Master? ' Bastian who heard this felt strange and asked, "Pardon me, Is the person you are calling 'Master' is Grandmaster Weston?"

"That's right, Grandmaster Weston is my teacher," answered The Woman proudly, with a proud manner.

"Oh so be-"

Before Bastian finishes his words, The Woman interrupts and says, "Let stop these pleasantries and call your family to start prepared."

"Ah, please wait a little longer because my wife has just started breastfeeding my child.

"Let's wait in the living room of my ship." Bastian could see The Woman bit her lips while frowned.

Bastian and The Woman with her guards boarded to the ship, Bastian saw The Woman instructs the guard, and then He saw only four guards boarding his ship while the rest were guarding the port.

Bastian then directed the Woman and her guard to the room. While Only Bastian, The Woman, and two guards entered. The rest were standing guard outside the door.

-In the Living Room -

This room is quite large; the room's shape is like a square, with a long transparent glass window that fills the wall, allowing direct sunlight to enter. There are a large dining table and ten chairs attached with a huge carpet located under the dining table in the middle of the room. In every corner of the room, there are ornamental plants as high as 100cm. Combined with the chandelier hanging on the top of the dining table, this room looks very comfortable and beautiful. As The Woman walked in, she looked at the living room for a moment in awe.

"Please treat it like your own home," Bastian said as he clapped his hands together to awaken the Woman as well as calling the servant.

"Prepare a drink and food for our guest."

"Yes, Master," the servant answered while calling another servant to help him.

Bastian and the Woman began to sit opposite each other while the two guards stood behind the Woman.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bastian, I am a merchant," Bastian said with a smile on his face as he crossed one hand over his chest while the other was on his back hips and bent slightly.

"My name is Noel, and I am a Master Wizard in the kingdom of the North Empire," Noel replied in a firm tone and acted as Bastian introduced himself.

The servant came in and put the food and drink each on Bastian and Noel. After a few seconds, Bastian finally asked, "So Ms. Noel, if I may know where we will live?" with a serious tone while smiling faintly and fixed straight at Noel.
