"You're already up, Young Master? I opened the door right away thinking you were still asleep, my apologies." Clara bowed to show her remorse before she continued, "But I guess it's great you are awake… I bear news."
"Tell ," Theo couldn't wait and sat on the bed with a hop. Clara ca forward, her face was serious, and there was no forr warmth there for now.
"There is a noble gathering in five days, Young Master. All the attendants were told to get the heirs ready for it. The Baroness is very busy making arrangents right now, so she won't be able to et you for now."
Theo looked at the situation with surprise. A noble gathering? And the rrick heirs were attending it?
"Why are we attending this one?" Theo asked with a frown. This was going to make things more complicated than usual.
"The thing is, the rrick Barony ignored too many gatherings the past year, so it is compulsory for everyone, including the Baron, to attend this one, Young Master."
"Father too?" Theo blurted with astonishnt. "If it was a normal scenario, it would have been interesting to go, but you know everything already, Clara," he said with a grave expression.
"I think the Baron has not talked with the Baroness about your situation yet, Young Master. And I feel as if the head butler could be here any mont now. He would bear the news as to what you have to do."
"My level is already 2, so everyone will ask what beast I tad. I reckon many of the other heirs will bring and flaunt their beasts in the gathering."
"Oh, don't worry about that, Young Master. Everyone below level 5 is not permitted to bring their beasts with them to the gathering. It's a rule; they don't want to take the risk of so inexperienced tar not being able to control their beasts in the gathering. So you will be safe in that aspect."
"That is nice to hear.... Maybe this gathering is not such a bad thing. They will know that the youngest son of the rricks is level 2 already. My father will be so happy to see their faces." Theo almost felt the sa wild grin creep over his face that everyone saw on their father.
Clara realized it too and chuckled. Sotis, it was easy to form habits just by looking at soone do it every ti.
"So I guess we just have to wait five days and go to the gathering. Nothing more to it than that. I am thinking of doing sothing different today, Clara."
"What is it, Young Master?"
"I think it's ti we defeat so vipers, but I guess there is still a need to try defeating the level 4 moss slis," Theo stated in a thoughtful manner.
"The Thornhide Vipers… they are quite a bump in difficulty compared to the slis, Young Master. Are you sure about this?" Clara asked with a perplexed emotion. It didn't feel like she was saying no outright, which Theo was expecting.
"How far is the viper territory from the moss slis?"
"Quite far on foot, but fortunately, it's just an extra half-hour with a carriage."
"Perfect! And I guess I can leave my protection to you?" Theo asked with a smile.
"Absolutely!" Clara exclaid with a serious face, making Theo laugh.
"I will get the mantis from in there."
"Yes…" Clara whistled and went to clean so desks that were already clean.
Theo shook his head and went in there. He saw the mantis was still in the sa state, and a frown ford on his face on its own.
"I don't know when you slept in the night, but it is ti we leave to train, Mantis," Theo stated and then made so ntal commands too.
The mantis's body twitched, unlike just the hind, and it moved upright slowly.
After a few seconds, it looked at Theo, who had his hand inside the terrarium.
The mantis looked around, and seeing that there was no food but a lot of remains of what it had eaten, it quickly moved and jumped on Theo's hand.
'We will be fighting sothing different if you defeat the stronger sli today, Mantis.' Theo gave another ntal command, and the mantis just looked at him with unknown emotions.
Yet soon, it went into its fighting stance, making Theo sure that it was ready.
Theo and Clara made so preparations, and when they were ready, they quickly traveled in the sa carriage and reached the sli's territory.
"Happy hunting, Young Master," the carriage operator said from the seat, a smile on his face.
"Thanks, Clive. We will be back soon enough."
"Oh, don't worry about that. I will wait a whole day if need be," the man said and bid farewell.
As usual, the routine followed, and the pup moved to find so slis.
In a few minutes, Clara started directing Theo to the location while Theo was being protected by the boar.
When they reached the clearing, Theo saw many slis hopping around and eating all kinds of vegetation.
He inspected them all and frowned.
"Only level 1?"
"It seems so, Young Master. Don't worry, we will find a level 4 soon."
The pup went to work again, and Theo didn't even care about tackling the level 1 slis.
Not only would they take precious ti, but also give a penalty of levels after getting defeated.
A few minutes later, they all traveled again and reached another clearing where there were no level 4s again.
After traveling to one more clearing with nothing so far, Theo stopped, and Clara sighed.
"This is a problem with low-level territories, Young Master. Many co and defeat these monsters without giving the forest ti to heal… We can still try finding the level 4 though, Young Master," Clara stated in a dejected yet also frustrated tone. It seed like it was sothing she had experienced many tis before.
"No, that's alright. I think we can retire from defeating the slis now."
