New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!
Chapter 165 Uncovered PossibilitiesThe woman beside the tracking knight didn't react and kept her hood secure to make sure that no one could figure out her identity.
Only after she candidly examined the surroundings did she reply with a detached voice, "Hmm. Let's try to investigate for a while, also keep an eye for any news in the usual cities.."
"Yes milady." The tracking knight replied obediently. The two then walked towards the most luxurious inn to retire for the night.
While they were preparing to end the night, Eli and Leon were still wide awake from figuring out the mystery.
"I can't help it, Leon. Aside from you, only the Riverfort crew had a close interaction with Elise. There were also no memories of any noble lady around her nor anyone from the crew… So up until now, I could only think that it came from your side." Hearing Leon's determined answer, Eli replied in an apologetic tone.
"It's alright. But let's just say that your theory was really the reason of Elise's murder, then it most likely be not connected with the cursing. Because Elise was already drugged before I stepped in the boundaries of Riverfort that night."
"Then if that's the case, if it is not you then…" Eli and Leon both had widened eyes as they followed each other's thoughts.
"The key is the men in Riverfort!" they concluded in unison.
So many circling conjectures and discussions but it all points out to two conclusive routes, Leon's side and the Riverfort's side!
At this moment, Leon immediately became agitated. Luckily after Eli's reminder, he still took a few hours of sleep before summarizing everything that they had processed for the investigation the next morning.
Before they ended the call, Leon reminded Eli to stay vigilant until he is able to come back to the capital.
This was actually another reason for Eli's elusive schedule at the Farauld Magic Institute. Aside from her prioritizing Little Han's growth, it was also for her safety. Any lady from the capital could be Eli's potential killer.
As such, she could only let the people know that she was under Farauld's care while the most vigilant and mysterious Blades protected her from the shadows whenever she was in the institute.
Since she would only stay for more or less an hour each day, there would be less time frame for the culprit to make a move on her.
Even during her travel time, she would be accompanied by either Bramwell, Zeke or Grandpa Ben, which were all not to be triffled with.
However, as Leon always said, you'll lose nothing if you are a little more vigilant. To which Eli obediently agreed.
Finally, the two agreed to retire for the night because there are still a lot of things they have to face tomorrow.
Eli started the day a little bit early. Since she needs to arrange for Little Han's essentials for the day and prepare herself for the lecture.
She proceeded dressing Little Han in a woolen jumpsuit and knitted gloves and socks.
As it was already winter, Eli was still afraid that he would catch cold and become sick. Thus she particularly researched and asked her fellow mothers from the Farauld and Forgeworn clans on how to take care of infants during winter time.
What can she do?
She lived in Southeast Asia in her previous life, where there were only rainy and sunny seasons!
She didn't even experienced winter in her previous life.
After ensuring that Little Han was warmly dressed and that she had already packed everything he would eventually need, she then left with Baobao, Wisey and Rosea to teleport straight to the Farauld Estate.
As for the Blades, they have their own mysterious way of going to the place and watch them in the shadows, which Eli didn't attempt to uncover.
"Wittle Han!!! Baobao!! Wisey!!!" Estella and two other little cousins excitedly shouted upon seeing Eli, Little Han and the bunch.
"Good morning Auntie Fairy! Today, we will play with Little Han!" They politely greeted Eli while flashing silly bright smiles and shining dewy eyes.
The atmosphere in the Farauld Estate's living room became happy with the presence of the adorable kids.
"Good morning Estella, Gillie, Johnny." Eli gently smiled and greeted the kids warmly, she then looked at Grandpa Ben and the rest who were already busy assembling their own plushie playground.
At Estella's insistence, the elders of the Farauld Family took action to replicate Eli's plushie playground in the Farauld Estate.
Since Little Han had been spending time with them daily and the kids were also fond of Little Han, they opted to foster the younger generations' relationships this early.
With them growing with each other's presence, guiding them along the way, it will also ensure that the Farauld Family would become stable and no family drama would happen because of one being left out.
Every child would be treated equally, regardless of gender nor seniority.
They hope that the plushie playground would be the most cherished memory the little cousins and Little Han would have.
Eli welcomed the questions thrown at her by her god parents and siblings regarding the assembly of the plushie playground. After that, she immediately traveled with Uncle Bramwell to the Farauld Magic Institute.
"Good morning Vice Chairman! Good Morning Counselor!" In just a span of a month, Eli was already recognized by everyone in the institute.
Since she had also started to carry out her duties as an honorary counselor, the people started to address her as such, instead of the title 'Great Inventor'.
Eli politely reciprocated their greetings, occasionally with an acknowledging nod.
She decided to carry herself with her usual business woman personality.
This was because she did not plan to pretend to be an amiable person nor someone who looks like a pushover at the first glance.
This was because she was preparing to be the person who would be soon recognized as Farauld and Forgeworns adopted daughter and the mother of Little Han, a prince of the Imperial Family.
If she insisted on carrying herself as a soft persimmon which people liked to squeeze, then she would have to start dealing with open and sneak attacks on day one of her official debut in the high society.
Carrying herself like this would actually buy her time, making potential enemies think twice before making a move on her.
She walked with confidence, with a hint of coldness and sharpness in her eyes. She also talked in a well modulated voice and eloquent articulation. Making everyone feel that she was here for business not for mundane conversation.
At first, people especially the students from other schools were intimidated by her, however, they soon came to understand her demeanor. The initial feeling of intimidation was replaced by respect thereafter.
Wearing her customized black gown that is lined with white, which neither indicates that she belongs to any of the three schools, she immediately proceeded to the grand amphitheater.
As soon as Eli entered the entrance of the amphitheater, she could already see that almost every member of the research branch was waiting excitedly for her to start the lecture.
Eli didn't delay and silently stepped on the podium located in the center end of the amphitheater.
"Greetings Counselor!" Everyone greeted her with genuine enthusiasm.
"Greetings everyone! Today, we'll go straight to the first page of the second material. We will tackle these subjects heavily in the next few days." Eli was famous for going straight to business as soon as she started her lecture.
She swept a glance at her audience who all had focused looks on their faces. Although the lecture venue was an open air amphitheater, the winter didn't hinder the learning ambience of the place.
How could the Farauld Magic Institute hold back in making their amphitheater warm in winter?
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ That's just a piece of cake to them!
With the protective transparent dome protecting the entire structure, the people inside enjoyed the view of the winter snow while not being affected by the cold it brought outside.
Even the snowfall had a relaxing look as it only magically fades upon touching the protective transparent dome.
"I'd like you all to pay attention to the topic for today. In the past three days, I have basically laid out to all of you the essential mathematical concepts which covered algebra, trigonometry and calculus. Now we go to study sciences."
"Of course, these topics are not all that you could possibly know about the field of science, however these would be essential to your current research as well as in the future!"
The entire amphitheater became deafeningly silent as they heard that the topic would surely help them in their current research. Their ears perked up as they held their pens firmly and readied their notebooks.
Some even planned to secure a recording of the lecture, however, the headmaster strongly prohibited such. This is to prevent the immature dissemination of information within and outside the institute regarding Eli.
"The very first concept of science that I'd like you to have a deep understanding of basic physics!" Eli slowly introduced the topic to everyone.
