"She is, after all, the Goddess of Life and Creation."
She replied with a prideful smile as she lay on my palm.
'The goddess of life and creation, huh?' I mumbled in my thoughts as I remembered her.
She is one of the goddesses who was never shown in the game but was heavily mentioned quite a few times in the third game of the series.
Being one that rules over life, she is the supreme goddess in this world, above most gods.
And every elf in existence, be it normal elves, high elves, sun and moon elves, or even sea or aquatic elves, all follow her teachings.
Basically, she is the supreme goddess of all elves.
"So you are saying that being with me feels the same as being with the goddess?"
I asked, confused about her comparing me with a literal goddess.
"Not exactly, but something like that," she replied, struggling to find the right words.
"Is that so?" I said as I thought about her words.
What made her feel like that? If I had to take a guess, it should somehow be related to my bloodline because it's the only thing that I know very little about.
I have also tried to search for anything related to my bloodline that can copy others' bloodlines, but there wasn't a single mention of anything that came close to my ability in history.
The only thing that resembled my bloodline was Angelina's bloodline from the game, and that too was vastly different than my bloodline.
"Hey, Eden." Ivy's voice brought me back to reality.
"What?"
"You do know, right, that you can form a spirit core?" She asked, and I looked at her in surprise.
"How do you know?"
"I can feel it. You can form a contract with a spirit if you want to," she replied, nodding seriously.
"Do you know how I can form a spirit core?"
"Ask Aeloria. She will be able to help you."
I nodded slightly at her words.
"Hmm, so tell me about your mother; like, what does she look like?" I asked, feeling bored with the class anyway.
"What does she look like?" She repeated my words before responding.
"Who is the most beautiful woman you have ever met?" She asked, smiling mischievously.
"My mother," I replied matter-of-factly.
Though, if I have to be completely honest, it's a close call between my mother and Nadya.
Both of them are women who are close to my heart and are literally the most beautiful women in my life.
That's my personal preference, as even Sarah or Sylvia are so beautiful that even the princesses of some kingdoms would look plain in comparison to them.
And I am not going to count my 'bow empress'; she still needs time to grow completely.
"Then, if you make your mother a hundred times more beautiful, even then she will barely be one percent as beautiful as my mother," she replied again with a pride-filled smile.
"As if, my mother is no less beautiful than any goddess," I scoffed at her words.
"Yeah, yeah, she may be, but she can't be compared to my mother. Once you see her, you will understand my words," she replied as she luxuriously stretched her body on my palm.
"We will see about that," I replied, not bothered by her words. "Anyway, why don't you live near the World Tree, 'Yggdrasil'?"
In the game, most of the fairies that are in the mortal world live near the World Tree, where life energy is the most abundant.
"Mother asked me to accompany Ria," she replied, taking me by surprise.
"The Goddess of Creation asked you to be Aeloria's contracted spirit?"I asked, still trying to wrap my head around the unexpected information.
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"I don't know," Ivy replied.
"Sigh.."
I felt exhausted and frustrated, so I rested my head on the desk, closed my eyes, and pondered Ivy's words.
In the game's original story, there was no mention of Aeloria having Ivy as her contracted spirit was arranged by a godess.
This left me wondering why the goddess of life made such a choice.
Additionally, although Aeloria in this world differed from the game's version, her spirit, Ivy, remained the same. Why?
"What's Aeloria doing nowadays?" I inquired, turning my attention back to Ivy.
"She is doing research."
"About what?"
"About space and time or something."
"Ahem, Eden." Just as I was about to inquire further, a gentle shake on my shoulder, accompanied by a voice, interrupted me.
"What?" I responded, looking at Emily and Fatima, who were giving me strange looks.
"Not that I judge you or anything, but why are you talking to yourself?" Emily hesitated to ask, but Fatima chimed in, scrutinizing me strangely.
"They can't see you, Ivy?" I questioned the fairy in my palm, to which she shook her head.
Ahhh... I must look like an idiot to them, talking to myself.
"Can you show yourself, Ivy?"
To my question, she made a troubled expression before she nodded slightly, "only because you are asking it."
As she replied, the mana surrounding her fluctuated, and with that, her appearance, which was only visible to me, also became visible to the girls beside me.
"Is she a fairy?" Emily asked me with a surprised expression, to which I nodded. Meanwhile,
Fatima was frowning as she observed Ivy.
"Is she Aeloria's fairy?" Fatima asked me, scrutinizing her with a slight frown.
"You know about it." I asked, feigning ignorance.
"Every noble within the kingdom knows about her," she replied, frowning. "But what is she doing with you?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie."
"How come I didn't see or hear her before?"
Both Fatima and Emily said at the same time, and ignoring Fatima, I replied, looking at Emily,
"She uses spirit energy to hide from others and communicate with me."
"Hey, don't ignore me!" Fatima said, but I still ignored her as Ivy turned towards me.
"I have to go back. Bye, Eden," she said as she vanished in thin air.
"Miss Angelina," As I looked at my palm in confusion and wondered where she vanished to, the voice of Professor Alvin resonated in the class.
"I must say it's an honor to have you in my class," he gave an exaggerated bow, "but could you please concentrate if you are present here?"
As he finished, I looked towards Angelina, who was sitting there, perplexed for a second by the sudden call, before going back to normal.
"I am concentrating, Professor," she replied, her cold face remaining unchanged.
"I saw you sitting there glancing back, Miss Angelina."
"But I was listening—."
"Are you doubting my words, Miss?" he interrupted, looking coldly at her.
"No, Professor, I am defending myself," she replied, not bothered by his interruption.
"Are you saying I am framing you for no reason?"
*RINGG*
As the show was getting interesting, the bell rang, indicating the end of the class.
"That's it for today, class," he said as he moved towards the door, but not before looking back towards Angelina.
"Take it as advice, but Miss Angelina, please try to behave like a role model for the class; behave like a princess."
Saying so, he moved out of the class.
"Why was he targeting her?" Emily asked with a frown as she looked at me.
"You don't know?" Fatima replied before I could say anything.
"About what?" Emily asked.
"Professor Alvin is the bastard son of the previous king."
"What!" She exclaimed, placing her hand on her mouth.
"Yes, he has the royal lineage, but the royal family never acknowledged him."
"But still, he shouldn't call her out like that in front of all the students," Emily said with a frown. "She didn't do anything wrong."
"She was in the wrong, though. She was looking towards me after all." A voice from below came as I shifted my attention towards Aron, who was looking towards Emily with his signature smile.
Right beside him were Nora and Cassia.
"What do you mean?" Fatima asked upon hearing his words.
"I noticed she was glancing towards me from time to time," he replied with the same smile.
"And why would she do that?" I asked curiously, looking at him, while waving towards Cassia who completey ignored it.
"I don't know," he replied without looking toward me. What's up with his attitude?
"Who knows, maybe she was looking towards Eden, and you were just in the middle," Fatima replied as she cast an annoying look towards him.
"Heh," smirking as if he was sure she was looking at him, he shifted his attention towards Emily.
"Emily, we are going to check the activity clubs. Will you join us?"
"No." Emily brutally rejected him before starting to pack her bag.
"W-what, Why?"
"Because she is going with me." Fatima said as she held Emily's hand.
"Let's go." She said this before turning toward me.
"Bring my bag, servant."
"What?"
"You never brought your bag, so just take care of mine."
After looking at her for a while, I picked up her pink colour bag before throwing it in her face.
"Do it yourself, idiot."
Saying so, I started walking towards the door, and just as I did, a blonde woman stood there to greet me.
"You forgot your punishment, Eden." Sophia said it with a small grin.
"What punishment?"
"To the management committee, now!"
