It had been 5 months since I used healing magic on Rudi. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Mr peter got a very strong fever and if anything. I stopped going to the village clinic for almost a year. Since my third trimester with Rudi. And Mr Peter needed someone to use detoxify magic on him. Because he isn't as strong as his prime days.
After I healed Mr Peter I returned to the clinic and met the village doctor Mr Aaron. So, I asked him about his son, the young boy Arlo. I also asked about his family and how the clinic is going. Because I thinked about making 3 days in the month at least to return to it. Thankfully this year winter was easy on us. And thankfully, No one got any strong illness before Mr Peter. After I finished.
While I was returning home. I saw Paul training and showing off some of his strong techniques like he was bragging to someone. (Who does he show off to? Lilla? No, she isn't into these kinds of tricks). It took me some moments to realise what's happening. That idiot of a Paul. Yes, I know he wants to impress Rudi. But he has to wait. He isn't 1 year-old yet. When I was going to scold him an easy one and tell him to get Rudi in I heard this.
"Well Rudi I would love to see you with a girlfriend or two soo..." I felt my left brow twitching and I smiled a fake smile almost grimacing. I think Rudi saw me because he was very anxious.
Needless to say I gave that idiot peace in mind and slapped him really hard. He deserved it; he almost spoiled my pure Rudi. Yes, he is a miko. But, I will make him Millis and I won't ever accept him to be womaniser. Even though that will be hard considering he is the son of Paul. And with Paul's teachings he will be like Paul. When I met him back in Millis. In our adventurer days. Okay that's it I will teach Rudi millis religion from today onwards. I'm sure my cute Rudi will love my religious teachings.
Nowadays
Ever since that day my Rudi started to get better. He just needed detoxify magic that day. And I haven't used healing magic on him since that day. Also since that day Rudi listens to me almost everyday to the teachings of millis he is always too attentive to my lessons and answers all my questions right even though most of the time he isn't even looking at my side.
May saint millis forgive me, because I discovered that Rudi loves books. He even learnt all the letters and how to form words in 3 months only. But that's not my mistake. I realised he finished all of our books in 1 month. After he learnt to read fully. He started to look bored. So I give the magic book to him from time to time. The magic book manual is the second biggest book. We have home and it has more content because of the recorded magic theory. Isn't illustrated and even has many spells. I didn't try to learn them. I tried them once or twice. And I think if I tried I could learn them all but I don't care about them now.
My mistake is me and Paul made a promise months ago. Before even Rudeus was born. If I get a boy he will be a knight like him and if I get a girl she will be a magician like I want to. But the problem is that it seems Rudi is into both and he is very smart too. I'm sure he can be both. But there are two problems. First, what if he loved magic and dropped swordsmanship because of magic temptations. And also what if Paul never agreed to this. After all we made a promise and he has every right to refuse this I literally broke our promise.
Also there is some secret between Rudi and Lilla that I can't figure out yet. But he seems to treat her with respect even if she protested about it herself. But it appears my Rudi is well-mannered with everyone. (My cute little Rudi).
Yesterday our little Rudi asked us to leave the house. (I cried almost throwing a tantrum, and I almost argued with Lilla for her failed advice, but our Rudy realised what his words meant and fixed them). He said he wanted to play on the yard outside not leaving the house itself.
(And did Paul just give him permission to leave the house when he is 12, This idiot). And if he hadn't put me in bad mood already, he almost gave him advice to come back with a girlfriend. And I glared at him to shut up. I'm going to have a long talk with him.
After scolding Paul I saw Lilla was watching Rudi from time to time from the window. And she looks happy (I think?) When I went to see why she was smiling I saw Rudi is repeating Paul stances with a rod. (I don't care where he got it but it solved my problem with Paul). After that he came home drenched with sweat but went straight to the bathroom before I even talked to him. And when I went to talk to him telling him I will bathe him. He is still young. (I won't let him grow up fast and leave me).
After I went I found him only peeing and tried to leave but I got him and bathed him. He tried to protest but failed, he even said. "Mommy! Please, I'm old enough to wash myself. Please I can bathe alone." When I said "No!" He pouted.
Today Rudi as fast as he woke up went to have breakfast. Then, went to the study and got the three swordsmen book and went to Paul to ask him about something. But Paul felt his presence before he appeared and Paul wanted to impress Rudi. (Not that I mind but you have to be careful not to harm anyone by mistake).
He did all his best moves in training. One after another and finished with his strongest move he attacked with a long sword of silence combined with his strength of north god style with it. If anything it was cool. It was a really strong move. It's almost saint level even though he started staging because he lives an easy life here and he started to become slower and slower but still it was impressive.
Until I realised he cut my favourite tree branch. I felt my eyes twitch and if I didn't vent my frustration something bad would happen. So I scolded Paul for what he did. After just finishing my scolding he cut another branch with a flashy way of sheathing his sword. I punished him by stopping our time for 10 days. (He deserved it, he didn't take my scolding seriously).
After that I went to the clinic to deposit the weeds and bitarus flower petals the doctor asked me to plant before Rudi's birth. It finally became ready to be harvested. After dropping them I went to see the note Mrs Eto left saying her kid somal is ill and he needed someone to heal him and she didn't find me there so she left her husband home and she went looking for me. (Okay I will heal somal first then search for Mrs eto).
After I finished I found Paul and Rudi talking about north god and it appears Rudi idolises him like Paul. They are finished by Paul ruffling Rudi's head. And the women who were watching applauded for this. Strangely enough I found Mrs Eto between them. So after telling her nicely her kid is fine and he didn't need healing magic but I healed him anyway and I'm ready to help anytime I found all the women running after I finished. (Why did all of them run).
Also I found Rudi patting Paul's back like when he is going to be scolded by me. (Did he do something wrong?) After that we went in where I helped Lilla on cooking dinner. She was finishing parts anyway. And as usual Rudi thanked us for the food and also he tried to imitate me when I did Millis' prayer. (If he loves the faith I will teach him more). Today I slept immediately to prove my point to Paul. I will really punish him for not taking my words seriously.
The next day
Today my little Rudi looked like he was in deep thought or imagining things because he waves his hand strangely. Okay I will talk to him about Mills' faith today too. (I'm free and he appears to be the same too so I'm going to use this free time).
Rudeus pov
I woke up and couldn't feel any better than usual. I stopped feeling pain 2 months ago but the hole hasn't gotten any better for a month it stopped getting better. I went to the kitchen to have breakfast when I felt I'm wasting time thinking about my lung because I can't even see it through x-ray or echo. Or even heat sensory vision.
So I went for the next struggling issue which is gravity magic. I can't figure it out yet. I tried as usual to decrease the gravity around me and failed. I tried to realise as much mana as I could. But without using it, I also tried to use telekinesis but failed. Suddenly I found mom smiling at me. Ughff. (I know this smile she is going to talk about Millis religion again).
Don't get me wrong. I Don't hate the religion or anything I just hate how she forces it on me and also she thinks I will be a womaniser when she and dad will realises I'm 1 year-old toddler!
"Rudi I see that you are free, let's talk about Milis faith sculptures. And enjoy praying together." Mom said with her overwhelmingly cheerful attitude.
"Uff.. okay, mom let's talk about the Millis religion as much as you want. But first things first mom. I'm almost learnt all of you want to talk about. The first law family always first, second law be loyal to who you love, third law always protect who is weaker. I almost know the whole first sculpture and I'm going to say this. Mom I'm not against Millis teachings. I'm just against how you force it on me. And you always say to just love one woman did you realise I'm a 1 year-old toddler! And if as you say I'm only will love you because I don't know anyone else."
(Okay I may have gone overboard here and I even broke my acting guise, but she is the blame, she talked to me about that religion again, and again, when I was frustrated already because of gravity magic and I think it was obvious).
"You are right Rudi we never give you chance to see anyone else. It's about time we take you out of the house maybe I will take you on the light working days to clinic and I will tell Paul to talk you in his free days to watchtower. And when you grow up more maybe. We will let you play with the village kids." (Did she even listen to me? I just told her I hate how she forces things on me and she didn't realise I was talking frustrated?).
When I glanced at Lilla, I saw her face-palming, then sighing then she processed to cleaning the house silently. As usual.
(So my message was clear then why she doesn't understand me. She even looks at me like I did the most natural thing in the world).
Looking at the filled half of the water-cup they will let me join them on their free days at work so I can meet new people. Maybe, just maybe, that will either solve my problem of always being bored or learning new secrets either of magic or swordsmanship or maybe something new. This world is filled with adventures. After this mom kissed my forehead then hugged me very tight, almost suffocating. Then she told me she will tend the garden and if I want to join her.
(Well anything is better than sitting and not doing anything and I'm getting bored with reading the same book over and over again. I need either new books or free rein on reading magic books which I can't do right now. Maybe I should have seen something else to do before).
After an hour of helping mom in the garden I discovered her favourite colour which is light blue (cyan), her favourite flower is the batirus flower. And she loves her garden second to our family only. (Note to self don't mess with the garden especially mom flowers and trees).
After that I left mom because I couldn't find new things to do and started to get bored again I tried to find Paul or Lilla to talk with them since mom still can't figure how to treat me right. (Not like Paul is any better but at least he teaches me good lessons as long as he doesn't change the talking subjects to women and his experience with them).
I couldn't find dad. Maybe he went early to do village rounds and only found Lilla finished cleaning and went to tidy the beds and again she did questionable acts in the main bedroom. (Okay since I broke my guise today probably I should make her stop).
"Ms Lilla are you sleeping?"I said to the stoic woman whom just got the shock of her life. "No, young master.. I was.. I was just resting my back."
"Does it hurt you? If it does. Why not take a break?" I said in fake puppy eyes. (maybe I should stop it).
"Yes, young master, I will after I finish this room. Thanks for your concern young master." Said Lilla trying to regain her poker face after I shocked her.
''Okay, sorry for bothering you Ms Lilla. I will go to the study room. bye!" (Mission accomplished one day 2 important conversations solved only Paul's left).
After that I reread the book 'travelling around the world' since it's the most interesting one and has the most info about gravity magic which is one sentence. {In city of lapan you will find it by looking for the skeleton of the calamity behemoth who used to be a destroyer in this region until lord north god killed him with his strong Great-sword and the records say he was flying to avoid it's attacks.}
Yes, even the book mention didn't say gravity magic. It happens that Lilla was next to me when I was reading and told me he was flying with the Ryback family secret gravity magic. (Also what is it about having 3 names at the same time they have their born name and their title kalmans and finally family name ryback and if we didn't count this title they are called North gods).
After having lunch break then continued to read till dinner. After that I still couldn't find dad when I asked about him. It appears this today he and the reeves and the hunters will do the monthly forest hunt to decrease the monsters number before they do damage to the village and they took many of the men village to move the monsters to be butchered.
(For some reason I no longer feel disgusted by eating monster meat especially after I tasted terminator boar two days ago and it was very tasty. It was hard to digest but it tasted very good).
Also mom bragged that she can beat any bandit who will think the village will be easy to hunt because most of the men are out with the knight and watchtowers and the reeves. By saying she was S-class adventurer.
(With how fast I can shoot my spells and with how strong mom hugs if anything I'm scared about the bandits mental health after this, I will not be surprised if she tortured them with a smile heals them and repeat the cycle while asking them about the needed information and not stopping till she gets her wanted information, oops I scared myself too much again).
"Why am I afraid? Again, and from who mom? Mom is an angel their is no reason to be afraid of Rudeus Greyrat." (I'm said to be reassuring myself).
When I said this I found mom using a knife to cut meat in a very brutal way needless to say I ran and hid under the blanket and emptied my mana reserves to sleep immediately. (I'm scared).
