Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Existence of Other Races
A large, well-maintained garden is on the roof of the Levant residence. From bougainvillea, hibiscus, palm, to yellow bamboo, live in the garden. There, there was Claudia who was floating in thought. He sat on a wide park bench, accompanied by a warm sun after leaving breakfast.
"I was born into the lowest noble family in terms of standing, the Baron. Therefore, we are used to being 'rooters' by the nobles above us.
"Although called nobles, the Baron did not have so many assets. If I have to be clear, I am an asset to my family.
"Broad knowledge, decisiveness, as well as my ability to clean up are our only pride.
"I knew Alice when she was at Dormant Academy, while I was studying at a regular school. Once, Alice came to our residence for her 'personal needs' after she heard from my Grand Duchess, Madame Ashley.
"Initially, I didn't really want to interfere in the matter of the main nobles. This doesn't mean they've committed any violence against us, it's just that we feel the main nobles will never glance at the lowly nobles like us.
"I was totally wrong.
"'His "'personal needs' were friends for him to experiment magic from where he came from. At the time, she was engaged to Hazell Levant, so we met often, including my husband, Lowen.
"Alice has great power, but she doesn't really want to use it everyday. He is more interested in conducting various experiments, even his magic teacher, Madame Ashley, sometimes helps.
"I must admit, the results of his successful experiments always amaze me. For example, he could create another dimensional space when breaking up a glass bottle. Her technique for using bottles was used by Madame Ashley for her purposes as well as the Grand Duchess.
"She is a girl .. and a friend I have respected ever since, even today.
"When she told the Fairy Queen's prophecy about her son, I felt so unaccepting. Who was that elf willing to give a prophecy? My hunch is that the elf is up to something.
"But I was too carried away by emotions when I learned that Alice's child was said to be lost by my two in-laws. And I knew that, in their agreement, before the time came, Alice would cast Zeeta with her magic into the river that they would take.
"I don't know anything because they kept it a secret for my health while pregnant with Edward and Ella.
"But thank goodness...."
Zeeta comes through the door along with Edward who "holds" Zeeta's right hand, while Ella in her left.
"Come on, don't get that sticky, I've got a hard time walking.... I have to say goodbye to Aunt Chloe!" exciting Zeeta.
"eeeeeh? Then we'll come!" chirps Ella.
"Thank God we can still be whole as a family...."
Claudia got up from her seat and walked over to the children. "Come here, son, Sister Zeeta has an important task as the Princess" he said.
"But we still want maiiin! Yeah, right, Ed?" ask Ella.
"Uh." Edward manyun's.
"Ahahahah, I'm sorry, but I have to hurry. If all my needs are done, I'll play with you guys again." Zeeta stroked the heads of her two cousins.
"What is that until Big Brother finishes dealing with the palace problem?" ask Ella.
"Uhm. ... My mother was there!" Zeeta replied with a smile as a bonus.
Claudia felt filled with her smile. "How firm is this child even though the problem is this big..," he thought.
"Then ..what can I do.... We know it's lonely without Mama.., let's get you too!" Edward nudged Ella's elbow.
Ella immediately hugged Zeeta. "Be careful, yes, brother!" the thrill in the deckap.
"Sure!" Zeeta returns Ella's hand.
"Well, kids, come back with Nek Aga, Mama still has to talk to Zee."
Edward and Ella nodded then said, "Bye-bye, Brother Zee...." With a listless face, they left the roof while holding hands.
......................
"They're so cute, huh, Bi?" ask Zeeta for pleasantries.
Without answering Zeeta, Claudia sat back down to the bench. Zeeta's following.
"I'm surprised by you guys" said Claudia, "you guys are so different from my first impression before meeting. I thought Alice was the arrogant Princess, while you were a whiny child. But I was wrong."
"Know? I have a lot of respect for you guys. I know we're family, but I feel like I have to do something for this respect."
Zeeta smiled a little. "No, Auntie's not wrong."
"Eh...?"
"I'm a crybaby, but I can learn. I'm sure my mom did too. He also studied. The people around me always believed that I was capable of anything because of my great mana.
"I was afraid of hurting and betraying this trust, but someone told me that I was the one who decided whether or not I could fulfill that trust.
"I realized I could. I was also always taught by my foster father to help anyone. I guess it's the same with my mother's wishes. It felt like, even though we were far away and I had never met him, I felt like he was protecting and watching me through these earrings.
"So, since I'm studying, I can be like this!" Zeeta throws her sweet smile.
Instantly, Claudia remembered something. "If you don't learn, how can I be like this!" fragments of her memories of Alicia appear.
"Basic...." Claudia smiled wryly. "Is your body okay? You ran out of mana yesterday after healing me, didn't you?"
"Uhm. I've been filled with hot chocolate and delicious pancakes from Grandma. Next time, I also want to eat Bi— cuisine"
"Eh? Aunty can't...."
"Can! I can! Don't underestimate me! But.. somehow my cooking is always black and tastes bitter. I always follow the recipe!"
"Uh-huh...."
"Ah, that faceuu! You don't believe it, do you?"
"Then, since I'm lazy teacher Ashley nagged me, I should.... Zeeta tried to escape.
"Haaaahh. Have you been alone with your grandparents?"
"Uh."
"OKAY. Struggle. Remember my words before."
"Yes, thank you, Bi." Then, Zeeta leaves with her flying magic.
"Ah? Oi! You're wearing a skirt!" claudia shouted, who noticed it late.
"It's okay, I'll replace it with my magic on the way!"
......................
Ashley was already waiting for Zeeta's arrival at Axel's Workshop by crossing her arms and shaking her soles a sign of impatience. Shortly thereafter, she arrived after replacing her trousers with her skirt just moments before landing.
Needless to say, Ashley clings to Zeeta, who is witnessed by everyone there, including the men and women who work at Axel's workshop, who came yesterday at Zeeta's invitation.
"I thought you'd come in a way without ethics! I have to tell you how many times, if an official arrival like this, use a vehicle!" ashen Ashley.
"Adudamu.... Sorry, I know too, but—"
"No buts!"
"Geh~" Zeeta quietly stuck out her tongue.
"What's 'Geh', huh?! You've made Axel and Myra wait fifteen minutes, their time is precious too, you know!"
"ah! Pardon me! I made the promise!" Zeeta immediately lowered her head.
"There is no need to be like that, too much," replied the short-bodied big man, Axel. "Look, you guys are already the center of the eye just because of this. It's ridiculous." He went back into his workshop.
"W. ahahaha.... Please forgive him, his speech is rude, but he didn't mean to...." Myra gave a follow for this awkward situation.
"OK...." Ashley and Zeeta answered simultaneously.
......................
After Zeeta and Ashley entered, they invited Myra down to the basement which had to pass a circular staircase until it took five minutes.
"M-Myra?" call Zeeta, "where are we going? Aren't we going to talk about making magic tools?"
"Uhm. You're right, therefore Axel brought you here" Myra replied.
"Hooh...." Zeeta nodded. "By the way, silver hair is beautiful, yes, you look so charming."
"Geez, thank you for the compliment! I'm so happy!" it looks bright around his body.
"Is Axel your husband?"
"Hey! Not polite!" Ashley whispers.
"HUH?! That old man is my husband?! No no no no no NO!" the sparkle had turned into a dark aura. His face was also not at all pleased.
"Hey, what are you saying? Come quickly here!" shouts Axel who has arrived at the destination.
"Grrrr!" myra Gumam.
......................
Axel and Myra lead Zeeta and Ashley to a door. When they opened it, Ashley and Zeeta dropped their mouths.
A civilization. Civilizations are made up of a wide variety of creatures, which make a home in the depths of the cliffs. Not only that, there is also a stream flowing from the waterfall, a vast expanse of grass, and tall trees. Although underground, the ceiling glows properly outside with the warmth of the sun.
"W-what's this...?!" ask Zeeta.
"Earth's People. Just like humans," Axel replied briefly.
"I-i know! But there are all kinds of creatures I've never seen! B-can you name it?!" Zeeta is excited.
"certain. Salamander, Minotaur, Slime, Half-Elf, Dwarf, and the rest are magic creatures made by Queen Alicia."
"Eh? Eh?! Ha... Half-Elf?! D... The dwarf?! Mother-made magical creature?!
"Am I in another world...?!"
