I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

But different from ordinary people, as a maid, Nasta has always insisted on using a higher level of magic to create drinking water with sweeter water quality for the use of her eldest lady.

"Since the magic power consumed is the same, it is better to use higher quality water to serve Master Keno." Nasta thought so, and did the same.

By the way, although she is a maid, Nasta is a rare magic caster who can use the highest second-tier magic. She herself is often complained by Keno, and she may resign at any time because she becomes the wife of a certain nobleman. Maid duties and such.

"Although it has happened more than once, every time I see the scene where you use the first-level magic to prepare washing water for me, I feel a delicate mood."

Keno, who was a little more awake, wobbled to Nasta's side, and began to wash his face with the water in the basin.

"No matter how you think about it, it's a bit extravagant."

The rising water splashes wet the girl's skirt, and the clear water soaking through her lips brings a sweet breath.

"This is not a luxury for Mrs. Keno." Nasta was preparing the clothes for his young lady today.

"For Master Keno, only the third-tier 'Hot Spring' magic can be called a luxury."

As the third-level magic that can be called a strong human being if you master it, the hot spring [Hot Spring] only has the effect of "incomparably comfortable soaking", which is almost useless.

Therefore, the 'comfort' marked in the effect has become an experience that all people who know the existence of this magic are extremely looking forward to.

But the irony is, because the hot spring [Hot Spring] is really useless, and it also occupies the precious third-level magic seat of the magic caster.

Therefore, no matter how much people expected the effect of this magic before, when they are really qualified to learn third-level magic, almost no one is willing to waste their talents on this almost useless magic.

"Speaking of which, I used to naively want to learn this magic." Keno wiped his face with the towel handed over by Nasta, and brushed his teeth with the water glass handed over by the maid.

"'Since everyone is looking forward to it so much, then I will learn it' Master Keno did say such words." Nasta looked at his kind lady with a smile on his face.

Keno once said such words to the people around her, especially the teachers who taught magic, and shocked them.

If ordinary children say that they want to learn the third-level magic that can only be used by talented people, most adults will take it as a joke and encourage them gently.

After all, no one would believe that they could become great magicians who could use third-tier magic, so there was no need to worry about them wasting their talents.

But if the person who said these words was Keno, whose father was a fourth-tier magic caster, and whose mother was a descendant of a hero who could use fifth-tier magic, no one would doubt what she had done on the journey of magic. express talent.

Naturally, he would be worried that in order to realize what he said, Keno would waste that incomparable magic talent on useless magic like 'hot spring'.

Therefore, just two hours after Keno said those words, her father, that is, His Majesty the King, summoned her before him and severely reprimanded her.

'The magic that everyone can learn is limited, as a royal family, you should learn some useful magic. '

Young Keno objected to this. 'Because of being a royal family, it is even more important to learn magic that can make everyone happy. '

But that's what her father said. "Our country is not very peaceful, and the nature of human beings is too weak compared to other races..."

'Therefore, as the royal family and carrying the hope of the whole country, we must be prepared to destroy the day of peace at any time, and be prepared to go to the battlefield in an emergency. '

"So, as an existence with the potential to become an excellent magic caster, you should use your talents on magic that is helpful in battle..."

His father's words were so rational, something that the young Keno couldn't immediately accept and understand.

But the attitude that the royal family should have in the father's mouth seems to overlap with the protagonist in the hero story that Nasta once read to Little Keno, leaving an indelible mark in her heart by breaking the wall of dimensions. impression.

It was also since then that Keno made a wish in her heart without telling everyone——

I hope that one day I can become stronger and fight for the people like the hero in the storybook who turned the tide at a critical moment... or like the royal family that my father said.

The little girl with a dream came to the dressing mirror which was about the same height as herself, and quickly changed into the clothes that Nasta handed her over.

Although in some aristocratic families, changing clothes will be handled by servants throughout the whole process, but the family motto of the Keno family requires that they change their clothes independently. This is to ensure that all family members can wear armor independently when the battle starts. family training.

However, armor such as full body armor still inevitably needs the help of followers.

While getting dressed, Nasta stood behind Keno and took care of the girl's blond hair that was extremely messy due to her sleeping position—this was Keno's privilege as an only child.

The maid drenched Keno's curly and curled hair slightly with the water made by magic power, then picked up a smooth comb to comb the hair carefully, and finally pressed it with a wet towel and slowly slid it down behind her...

When Nasta let go, Keno Faslis Imbern, who was dressed in soft blond hair, finally took shape as Princess Faslis.

Keno blinked, looking at the girl in the mirror with Qiyao's eyes.

The seven-colored eyes were by no means unique to Keno, the maid who was checking the girl's posture also had the same gorgeous pupils.

This is a racial characteristic known as Hongtong people. In this country called Fasilis, humans without this characteristic are relatively rare.

"Now that I'm done grooming, can Master Keno please move to the dining room?"

"I'm going to the restaurant today? Does that mean my father and mother are waiting for me there?"

"Yes, both adults are waiting for Lord Keno."

Keno's mood became complicated by the maid's words.

For Keno, the following meal time was something to be happy about.

Because the king's father is always busy dealing with things big and small in Fasilis, and the rare free time will also be devoted to the pursuit of power.

This made it difficult for Keno, the only child, to see her father who was always busy. Therefore, the girl was very much looking forward to the next meeting.

But because his father was always very strict with Keno, the few meetings he had with him were often spent in reprimands.

Therefore, the following meal time was also a time of heavy heart for Keno.

But the parents couldn't refuse the invitation, or in other words, Keno herself didn't want to avoid the opportunity to meet her parents because of this.

Thinking of this, Keno led the maid and walked towards the restaurant step by step.

As Nasta said, the father and mother in the restaurant were already seated at the family-style square table and waiting.

Keno's mother was a kind-hearted woman, who was able to use fifth-level magic and was the top magic caster in this country.

Keno's father was just the opposite of her mother.

Most of the Hongtong people are slender. Compared with humans of other bloodlines, they are born with the talent to cast the four major systems of magic, and they are a race that is quite suitable for the magic profession.

However, Keno's father was quite different. As an elementalist of fire, he not only possessed powerful magic power, but his physical body was not inferior to that of orcs at the same level. Even the commonly used weapons were not taken off all year round. claws.

The so-called melee mage is nothing more than that.

"Good morning, father and mother."

"Good morning, my lovely little Keno."

Compared with mother's warm greeting, father just nodded with a straight face, but this was his usual style, if he smiled like mother uncharacteristically, Keno would be even more confused.

Nasta pulled up the chair, and after serving Keno to take her seat, the meals that had been prepared were delivered immediately, and the breakfast time for the family of three officially began.

As an aristocrat among nobles, the dining etiquette has long been integrated into Keno's body, but when she was halfway through the meal, her father put the silver fork on the empty plate.

"jingle"

The sudden sound made Kino look towards his father subconsciously, and saw that he had finished eating and was wiping his mouth with the end of the napkin.

"Annie, to what extent has Keno's magic power increased?"

Anne is the name of Chino's mother, and her full name is Anne Faslis Inberon.

Annie put down the tableware in her hand, and also wiped her own mouth, and her father's serious tone made Keno involuntarily stop eating.

She had known for a long time that she would inevitably be scolded by her father today.

"This child has gradually reached the threshold of the second-level position, and maybe he will be able to use the second-level magic soon."

"But I've heard words similar to this two weeks ago. Does that mean that Keno has made no progress during this time?"

Father rubbed the center of his brows in distress, while Keno focused on the fact that she and her father hadn't seen each other for two weeks.

"Keno, what do you think? Do you feel that your strength is stronger than before?"

Keno put down the knife and fork, and kept thinking about how to answer his father's words in his mind.

But there doesn't seem to be much difference between who I was two weeks ago and who I am now, just like no one can feel the height they grow every day without measuring.

Although when using magic, she gradually had a wonderful feeling like gears clenching tighter, but since there was no special sign as evidence, Keno couldn't be sure if it was his own illusion.

"Sorry, father, I didn't figure it out myself."

Chapter 2 The Vampire Princess of Subjugation

"That's it." There was no joy or anger on the father's expression.

"Honesty is a virtue, but honesty alone cannot be promoted and praised."

Keno lowered her head, quietly waiting for the next reproach, because she was so impressed, this action almost became her instinct when facing her father.

"You are my first child, and your brother or sister will be born in the future, and you must...or have to be their role model."

"Keno is still a child, you can't..."

"Shut up!" The father coldly interrupted the mother's maintenance.

"No matter how young this child is, he is still a member of the royal family, and he has shouldered the responsibility of Fasilis since he was born."

Sharp eyes shot at the silent Keno, even with her head lowered, the girl could still feel the sharp edge piercing her heart.

Startled, Keno quickly cast a look at her mother for help.

"Kino is a girl, don't keep pulling your tricks on her."

"It's a girl, it's a princess, it's the eldest son of the royal family! She really doesn't have to be better than anyone else, but she must bear the hopes of the entire Phasilis!"

The father glared at his mother with a steely gaze, and then turned his attention to Keno who was at the side.

"You are indeed better than me in terms of magical abilities, and that's why I entrusted this child to you for education, but now it seems that your education model is really a bit loose."

"What do you want to do?" Mother couldn't help frowning.

"I plan to add actual combat and close combat training to Keno's daily lessons. Although the body has not yet matured, actual combat is the best training. Moreover, the fighter's talent must be evaluated in advance. Just do it."

As a magic caster, his father is indeed weaker than his mother, but if physical strength is added, his father's combat ability is even better.

"I object to that. The physical body of our family is inherently weak. Not everyone can have the same innate physical talent as you."

"But you should understand that the addition of magic and physicality is not a simple superposition of power..."

"But compared to grabbing with both hands..."

"Is it faster with one hand?" The father interrupted the mother. "However, if we don't give it a try, how will we know that she can't do it? For Keno's future, we need to be fully prepared."

"I agree with this point of view, but at least we have to wait until Keno has successfully mastered the second-level magic, and his body has grown enough to adapt to physical training."

The eyes of the two clashed fiercely, each other's firm will refused to give in at all, and even the aura of the two beyond the realm of heroes gradually spread over time.

"Ding!"

The spreading momentum startled Keno, who inadvertently moved the tableware and struck them together, making a crisp sound that resounded through the dining room.

The two awakened realized their daughter's existence. They hurriedly restrained their momentum, and the father also fell into deep thought when he glanced at Keno's height, which was not even as tall as his own thigh.

After a while, the father looked away. "I understand, it's better for Keno to continue with your education."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"You still call him Your Majesty at this time?" His father was a little unhappy because of his mother's address, but knowing the cause and effect, he understood that the current situation was almost his own fault, so he didn't continue to struggle with the address issue.

"Kino."

The girl who had just breathed a sigh of relief because of her mother's victory was suddenly startled by her father's steel-like voice. She raised her head and looked at her father in a daze.

And although his father noticed Keno's reaction, he uncharacteristically did not reprimand him, but continued the conversation.

"As a royal family, we enjoy a luxurious life, and many people have given their loyalty to us. Therefore, carrying their hopes and protecting their safety has become our royal family's responsibility from beginning to end."

"In order to better take responsibility, we need to learn, work hard, and do everything we can to lead the country to prosperity and prosperity... By the way, we also need to train soldiers and strengthen our armed forces."

"Soldier...armed..." Keno's expression was a bit tangled, she wanted to say something to her father, but she didn't dare to speak because of various scruples.

The father showed an indescribable subtle expression, knowing his daughter is like a father, how could he not know what his kind-hearted daughter is thinking now?

"A strong army is the guarantee of peace. We may not attack other countries, but we cannot guarantee that soldiers from other countries will not invade our country. Therefore, an army that can deter other countries and protect our country's security is an indispensable guarantee. .”

"Do you think military power is superfluous to a country?"

Keno shook her head, she didn't know how to answer.

"Even if it's you, you can't say something like a country doesn't need an army." Father's expression softened somewhat.

Although Hongtong people all have the talent to cast magic, most of them are civilians who can only use a few zero-level magic, and have no ability to protect themselves at all.

As human beings who are naturally weak, they have various natural enemies in the world, that is to say, even if countries of other races do not launch aggression against them, monsters all over the place are always threatening the safety of the people.

To give a few examples, a few years ago, an existence known as the "Inland Giant Beast" caused more than 5 deaths and injuries in neighboring countries;

And in the more distant past, just two undead monsters called "Soul Eaters" caused more than 10 deaths in the powerful central country, and almost completely turned a prosperous city into a dead zone...
