Chapter 128: Three days later

The Lord of the Frost Fall City was busy reading reports and compiling a new list on tax rates that's to be given to his father, the northern duke for approval when suddenly a young girl came in directly after bashing open the door.

Up close, she looked like spiced ginger because of her slender figure, fresh and moon-like face, and attractive curves. At first glance, no one would believe that this maiden was a mother and is in her mid-thirties. Lady Sandra dressed in a blue shirt and skirt with wavy patterns was glaring daggers at her husband.

"Hubby, I received some information from someone that you have been hiding Lily's departure from me. When were you gonna tell me about it or did you plan to keep it a secret from me?" She asked with a pleasant smile but Lord Carter detected killing intent from it.

A single wrong move and a huge war will begin in this study room. 

In the end, Lord Carter was a man and an authoritative figure, he wasn't afraid of his second wife that has pointed her claws and canine teeth at him. In his eyes, she was just like an angry cat who needed to calm down and he knew just what's needed to be done. 

"Ahem, baby you're looking very beautiful today. Dare I say that I want to take a bite of you!" Lord Carter said playfully to avert the topic as he calmly approached her, grabbed her hand, and gently led her to the chair.

"Don't avert the topic. If you won't give me an answer today then forget about ever sleeping with me!" She threatened the man towering over her. Her bright eyes were not only burned with anger and dissatisfaction but also the cleverness of knowledge. "Every awakened is independent and their parents can't decide the way they should live their lives so why did you meddle in my daughter's life? She loves who she loves so why would you hurt her by sending her to a faraway place?"

By the end of her sentence, Sandness swelled up her heart as her daughter was sent to the Northern Duke city which was very far away. Although she could take dozens of teleportation portals to reach her it was still very far.

Lord Carter said, "I know that it wasn't a good idea to interfere in My daughter's life but I won't sacrifice her lifelong happiness for momentary happiness. The kid she loved was just a commoner, not worthy of her. She will forget about that commoner boy's soon and her pain will also go away, I promise you," Lord Carter said while trailing his finger down her cheeks and placing it on her lips.

She wasn't upset at her husband anymore as she now knows that Whittaker's a commoner but she still felt really bad for she had, in a way, comprised her daughter happiness for a better future. 

"But" Lady Sandra still wanted to argue but Lord Carter cut her off in an authoritative manner, "Enough! Let's not talk about this topic anymore."

Her red face was just like a ripe tomato and he wanted a bite of it. Lord Carter kissed her cheeks to express his love.

Sandra kissed back and Lord Carter placed her on his lap while gently patting the back of her head.

"If in the future the boy is able to gain great merits and Lily still wants to marry him then will you interfere?" She asked with her head placed on her man's chest.

"I won't as long as he is worthy!"

"Promise me!"

"I promise. At that time, I will do as you say and even apologize to Lily and the boy if you want me to. For now, let's talk about us, shall we?" Lord Carter exclaimed while princes carrying his wife to the bedroom. 

"What about us?" Lady Sandra asked with a bashful face but Lord Carter didn't give his reply until he placed her on the King-sized bed, "I have been wanting another baby so let's give it a try tonight!" 

As he said that, Lady Sandra's face flushed red, and her eyes turned hazy; however, she still spread her arms to embrace her man, who cuddled the cute cat into his warm embrace.

Three days later!

Inside the tenth floor of the paradise for mages, a young snowy-haired boy opened his eyes which gleam with the light of wisdom; however, his crystal icy eyes also hold the innocence of not knowing the world.

A beaming smile formed on his face as the devouring mana seed was successfully condensed in his mana pool and its effect was as impressive as stated in the book.

Ding! The Guardian has formed the mana devouring seed in his mana pool

Grand Vortex Tree Creation skill (Vol:1) Grand Vortex Creation skill (Vol:2)

[Grand Vortex Tree Creation skill (Vol:2)

Effect 1: The mana devouring seed continuously releases a strong attraction force that pulls the mana in the mana pool towards the center.

Effect 2: Consumes 999 units of soul force to form a soul-devouring seed in the mana pool. Warning: Requires a lot of time!

Effect 3: The Guardian gains 20 Units of mana every 1 hour of meditation.

Effect 4: The Guardian restores mana from killing other beings Noah notified.

"Impressive, indeed. Thanks to the attraction force of the mana seed my mana will no longer travel out of the mana pool, I can finally reach E-rank mage!" Whittaker exclaimed.

"Also, according to the book and system's notification, my mana will be restored if I kill magical beasts or other types of beings. And, I can also increase my total mana by 20 points every hour through simple meditation, but the soul-devouring seed is more impressive so I should strive to form it!" He internally thought.

Soul devouring seed had the same effect as mana devouring seed but it absorbs soul essence from the dead and produces dozens of units of soul force through simple meditation.

Soon after, his gaze wandered to the other Noah notification and he was surprised to see that he had awakened Night's bloodline and gained two bloodline abilities.
