Chương 8: Air Affinity
For the next three months, Lucy learned about her situation and adjusted to being a baby. Her Father was Bao Benin, the Second Imperial Prince of Vera Empire. Commonly known as Prince Jing, or the King of Slaughter. For sure, that nickname made her feel secure. King of Slaughter. Just how exactly did Father earn it? Mom's name was Meng Lani.
The servants called Lucy Third Miss Jing, or simply Third Miss. Not having her Father's or Mom's surname confused Lucy. Just why was her surname Rimes? Still, Lucy shrugged it off, once she learned her two older sisters shared her surname. She'd find the reason out eventually.
What threw Lucy completely off was not any of that. Instead, it was the fact, Lucy had been born Year 140 Months of Snow, Jaguar Era. In other words, Lucy was in some historical period before planes and the internet. Lucy had almost fainted when she realized this. Still, Lucy calmed down. She could adjust. Lucy yawns, looking around the courtyard. Mom and she had been in seclusion since birth, so Lucy hadn't met her siblings yet. In fact, Lucy hadn't seen her Father since the day she was born.
Today Lady Selena was going to test her affinity. Lucy was nervous, simply because Mom was nervous. She was terrified Lucy would be a waste. "Consort Meng, Miss Selena is here" Miss Edith, Mom's personal maid says. Mom nods jerkily and stands. Lucy turns her head to sea Miss Selena coming. Mom bows. "Miss Selena," Mom says. Miss Selena nods, "Even if the Young Miss is a waste. She'll be the daughter of the Rimes clan. We'll ensure her husband marries into the clan or that she marries someone in-clan. No one would dare abuse our Young Miss" Miss Selena says. Mom's body relaxes. "Thank you, Miss Selena," Mom says.
Selena pulls a crystal out of her pocket and holds it against Lucy's forehead. After a moment, the sparkles in her inner sky tingle, and bounce around. The crystal glows yellow. "Ah" Mom cries out. A tear lands on Lucy's head. What does that mean? Am I a waste? "She has air affinity, " Miss Selena says, smiling. Mom hugs Lucy tightly. "My baby, my daughter. She's not a waste!" Mom sobs, burying her face in her hand. It's the energy sparkles? Why would the yellow show up? My pure energy is stronger. Whatever, it made Mom happy, so it's fine.
Deciding not to worry about it, Lucy lays on Mom's shoulder to drift off to sleep. "You're out of seclusion tomorrow. Princess Jing word she will come met the Young Miss," Miss Selena says. "Also your brother has requested to visit. Once the Madam is gone, I'll send word to him." Miss Selena says. Lucy blinks, perking up. Mom's brother? My uncle? Madam? Would that be Father's Mom? Lucy wonders, yawning. Tomorrow, we'll have visitors.
