Lina leave the garden and enter inside the house. Hina was already cooking lunch her worries gome even thought the seal cracked.
"lina can can you clean the table" hina voice echoed from the kitchen, she was cutting onions
"y-yeah" lina said, she took a towel from the bathroom and starts to clean the table while deep in thought. My seal crack it actually crack. She thought to herself.
"lina can you clean the plates too!" hina voice echoed again from the kitchen. lina didn't answer. "lina?" hina asked again, still no answer. "lina!?" she shouted.
"Y-yeah!!!" line jolt out of her thought, bumping into a chair and thud! She falls face first into the floor. "ow!" she covered her nose,red face, blood pouring out.
Hina came out ofthe kitchen hearing the sound, she saw lina on the floor covering her nose,groaning. "Lina!" hina gasps and she quickly goes to lina, she help her sit on the chair.
"lina are you okay" hina ask handing her a towel to clean her bleeding nose. "what happen you aren't paying attention" she ask worry etched on her face.
"it's nothing, it's just that i was very shock.." lina said wiping her nose.
"are you still shock that your seal crack" hina said staring at lina, expression unreadable.
"y-yeah, i never thought a baby would break a high-tier seal like it's a piece of cake not only once but twice" she said, her hands clench tight around the towel.
"i am shock too, i never thought that free will have that much mana" she said,resting her hand gently on lina's shoulder.
"your master would've been shock too, you know" hina said gently squeezing lina's shoulder.
"yeah she would have been shock... if she was here..." lina said eyes glassy, her mind drifted to a battlefield, dead bodies, soldiers yelling, and a woman shieding a crying girl.
"lina... you should take a break today" hina said her voice low, barely above a whisper.
"T-thanks, lady hina" lina replied, she get up and walk to her room on the second floor.
Just then. thud! Philip enter with his sword in hand grinning like he just won a war "hina! Where is food! I need protein for slaying monster" he yelled.
"shut up, philip!" hina said throwing a pan at his direction. Clang! It hit philip's square in the forehead, he fall flat on the floor.
"ow! What did i do!" philip shouted touching his forehead where the pan hit.
"nothing" hina said serving him lunch. "go wash your hands honey" she said sweetly, too sweetly.
"yeah yeah" philip said getting up still holding his forehead.
On the second floor lina was in her room flat on the bed. Young master crack a seal that can even seal a royal mage mana easily, just how much mana does he had? She thought and stand up.
She walk to the door and stand infront hina's bedroom where free was, she was about to open the door but hesitate. Should i do it without permission or not? she thought her hand an inch away from the door knob but she pull it away.
Meanwhile inside the room earlier before hina and lina left...
Hina leaves the room and lina after staring a bit longer left too, to bury the mana sucking paper in the garden.
free's eye slowly open. That was quite the nap he thought and look outside the window, the birds were chirping again in the root tree. Ahh... they came back he thought and reach his hands toward the birds.
They fly off from the tree branch they're gone.maybe i should try the magic again he thought to himself.
Oo light of goddess,please cleanse our wounds and suffering, light heal his hands glowed but the green light was barely audible. Huh? Why is it so small! it always shine brighter than this he thought. Maybe i should focus more he focus more in his hand and the green light glow brighter only a bit.
It's working just a bit more his hands glow again brighter.crack!
...? What's that sound free glance left and right, nothing. Maybe i am just hearing things he thought and went back to healing. The light grow brighter and brighter free grins but he didn't know he the seal behind him was cracking slowly.
1 hour later...
Fres was getting bored this is so boring He thought to himself, but he chant anyway because he doesn't have anything to do either.
Then. Thump. Thump. Footsteps came but stopped right at the door. Ah crap hina will come anytime free tilt his head to the left, then deactivate the glow.
Silence...
Huh? No one's entering.he stare at the door with bored expression.
Should i pretend to cry or not he thought to himself, the was door still.
Outside– "Should i enter or not?" lina said Expression grim, muttering to herself.
Just then "Neh....waaah....waaah....." free cried inside the room.
Lina hearing it quickly open the door "young master!" she shout, guard on but she saw free crying quietly in his bed.
"waaah....waaaah...." he pretend to cry.
"young master are you hungry?" she asked walking to free's bed. She take him in her arms gently.
so it was lina. I thought it was hina outside the room he thought to himself. "...waaah....waaahhh" he continued his fake cry.
Lina leaves the room with free in her arms. It's rare to seeyoung master cry like this. I always worry about his well being because he was always calm unlike other infants she thought to herself. That night when young master was born he wasn't breathing, even lord philip was crying but then he was moving again-alive-si should be happy and yet when young master stare at me it felt like he is much older than he look she thought staring at free crying in her arms.
Lina smiled at free as she enters the lunch table. "lady hina young master is hungr-".crack. crack..craaaaakkkk! Boooooom!.
The seal broke and hina choked on her food, lina knees nearly gave up From the pressure of the mana wh-what! the mana grow ten-fold in just that short span of time , philip unaware of the atmosphere, stands up.
"FREE! I MISS YOU MY BOY" he took free from lina's arm and pinch free's cheeks softly. "So soft!" he yelled smiling, tear falling dramatically.
Meanwhile hina got up from her chair and goes to lina who was somehow standing "lina do you have another seal" hina whispered.
"Y-yeah i have another one" lina said as she run to the second floor. Her room door open with a loud thud! she reach in her drawer and pull out a paper seal, a stick and a mana sucking paper and she lit the stick in fire and blew it off, smoke started coming fron the stick, she went down.
Down philip was having fun with free "look free! One day you will be like your father muscular, supportive and strong" he said.
I don't want to be muscular like you free thought his foot tapping gently on philip's chest.
Suddenly both felt sleepy. "why am i feelin' sleepy" Philip muttered and he put free down on the floor before falling asleep compketely.
Lina enter with the seal and mana sucking paper in her hand and she take free in her arm and gave hina the seal."lady hina please put the seal now!" she said quietly.
"y-yeah" hina said and took the seal from lina's hand and put it in free's back. The seal shine, hina and lina closed their eyes and then, silence the pressure was gone
"lady hina, i think we should change the seal once every hour" lina said gasping for air sweating, she put free down on the floor.
" Replacing the seal every hour sounds kinda hard but it should be better than getting choked under constant pressurre of this much mana" hina said sitting on her chair wiping sweat off her forehead.
So on that day both came to a conclusion either replace free's seal or be choked down by the mana he had.crack!.
"NOT AGAIN!" both scream
1 year later...
Free crawl in the living room unknown about the seal on his back that is getting change every hour. "ma!" he shouted.
"what happen free?" hina said hair tied her dark blue eye staring at free warmly.
"brds our!!" he said pointing a finger outside giving a faint smile.
"do you want to go outside sweetie" she ask chuckling softly.
"yahh" he said both hands up.
"can i take young master out on a walk" lina ask entering the living room.
"yeah, please do" hina said letting lina to take free up in her arms.
"let's go on a walk young master" she took free in her arms with ease.
"than u lia(thank you lina)" free said gripping lina's shoulder with his small hands. This is kinda embarassing to call their name by mistake in purpose free thought while forcing a smile.
