After Retirement, Living a Stud Life in Another World - Chapter 254: Luiz

Chapter 254: Luize Shines Brightly

The next day, I headed to the royal palace. Lately, Beato and Clara were obsessed with making prototypes of magical tools, and they finished some. They wanted to complete the final products. The last stage apparently needed me.

“I was waiting for you. Luize is fully prepared too,” Beato said.

“Papa, hug me!” Luize demanded.

Her glossy silver hair grew long, and her emerald eyes sparkled clearly. Luize would soon celebrate her first birthday, but like Ayaka’s child, her language and emotional development progressed incredibly fast.

“Alright, here’s a big hug!” I exclaimed.

“Wow, so high! And something warm flows into me softly!” Luize giggled.

Oh, that meant my magical power poured into Luize abundantly.

This child was born with the secret amazing skill of metal transformation, but she never used that power unless I infused her with my magic. According to Beato, Luize’s “dual attribute” that enabled metal transformation only worked when she received my magical power. Normally, she could only use simple metal magic. I thought that made sense, but… that meant this child couldn’t be apart from me.

“Oh, Luize still loves her father so much. Here, please take care of these,” Clara said.

Clara smiled gently and offered Luize various silver ornaments arranged on a velvet stand.

“Okay! Bracelet, bracelet, become pretty!” Luize chanted.

Luize gripped the silver bracelet for just about a minute. The bracelet transformed into unmistakable magical silver.

“Look, it became pretty! Pendant, become pretty too!” Luize continued.

A rather large circular silver pendant also turned into magical silver in about a minute. The surface of the silver disc had an extremely intricate magic circle carved with fine engraving.

“That’s incredible. A year ago, this would’ve been a national treasure,” I remarked.

“What kind of magic is carved on it?” Mother asked.

“It’s ‘Earth Creation’ and ‘Earth Wall.’ I had it made for Mother to wear. This should protect her if she’s suddenly attacked,” Beato explained.

Beato spoke bluntly without changing her doll-like expression.

I understood. His Majesty was probably the strongest woman with earth magic, but her only way to protect herself was “Earth Wall.” However, “Earth Wall” required a long incantation, and indoors, she needed to combine it with “Earth Creation.” It took quite a while to form the wall, making it too slow to escape an assassin’s deadly reach.

That’s why the “no-chant” magic enabled by the magical silver’s magic circle came in handy. With this, the magic completed in just a moment of pouring magical power. With His Majesty’s enormous magical capacity, an earth wall would block the enemy before counting to three.

“We need Mother to live long, or Clara and I will get too busy, and that’d be unbearable,” Beato said.

Her lips softened slightly as she spoke those un-charming words. Beato’s cold expression often caused misunderstandings, but she was actually a kind child who valued family above all.

“This one’s for Liese,” Beato said.

The bracelet Luize touched first was casually handed to big sister. Big sister checked the carved magical runes and nodded deeply.

“With this, I can handle close-range combat, which I wasn’t good at. I express deep gratitude and loyalty to the royal family for entrusting me with such a precious item,” Liese said.

“Since you have it, show us by firing it, Liese,” Beato urged.

Responding to Beato’s voice, a guard knight held up a wooden board about two centimeters thick. Big sister, wearing the bracelet on her left hand, let out a short shout.

“Hah!” Liese shouted.

I looked at the wooden board, surprised by a sound like “bogoh.” A hole the size of a chestnut pierced through it. I couldn’t see what happened at all.

“As expected of Liese. With the strongest water magic from Lutz’s seed, no one can oppose her now,” Beato said.

Apparently, Beato, with her excellent dynamic vision, saw big sister’s magic.

“What on earth happened?” I asked.

“You know, don’t you, Lutz? It’s Liese’s ‘Ice Spear,’” Beato replied.

Well, sure, I knew it, but… that was a three-stage magic that generated water, froze its surface, and shot it out. To fire it instantly without chanting was insane, right? Amazing. It was like a rapid-fire pistol for ice magic. With this, big sister, who excelled at long-range combat, would truly be invincible.

“We specialized in shortening the firing time and designed the ice spear to be very small, so I was worried about its power. But with Annaliese’s magic, there’s no problem,” Clara explained.

Clara spoke in a relaxed tone, giving her commentary. That’s right, she was the one who decided the magic’s specifications and directed the engraver to create this extraordinary magical tool. Beato was definitely unsuited for such detailed work… Come to think of it, she tried embroidery once and kept pricking her fingers.

“Hmph. My husband seems to have something he wants to say about me,” Beato said.

Oh no. Beato’s “spirit eyes” worked naturally again. I instinctively shrank my neck.
