Merry Christmas! ❤ ღ ❣

Well, it's a lovely day today. I'll left my babbling at the end of this chapter ~

Enjoy!

Disclaimer : I do not own Magi but Teanoka is mine. :3


Masrur was standing on the tree brunch which Teanoka sleep. He's holding another brunch on top, guess he too, worry about the weight that the branch can handle.

After some thoughtful seconds, Teanoka raised head up with a funny look on her face. "Mo ... morning?"Why are you standing here?

"...It's going to rain." Masrur could tell from the look of her face, she was quite alerted. He pondered and came to a conclusion: she must be afraid of that Papagoras on my head. He wasn't aware that he had scared her, inadvertently, twice, including just now. He slightly shook his head to usher the Papagoras to leave but failed.

She glanced at him and at his Papagoras. Behind him is the sky and it does look like it's going to rain. She had a semi-headache because of drinking yesterday, I just let Masrur, one of the Eight Generals,to accompany me, sleeping in the forest when he had a comfy room in the palace not far away from here. Wow.

I should add that in my Dumbest-Achievememt-I-did-When-I-was-Drunk List.

As if it sensed something, the Papagoras flew away along with others that gathered below the tree.

A moment later, it started to rain.

...

Both Teanoka and Masrur exchanged a look and run to the nearest building ,ran straight pass the gate.

"Wait, I don't think it's appropriate for me to be here ... "She followed Masrur and end up in the palace again. Really? Anyone can enter like this?

Cling ... cling...

The sound was quickly followed by a "Here you are! Where were you guys? I searched the whole palace but couldn't find you."Sharrkan let out a breath.

"The forest?"

"Forest. "

He quirked his eyebrows as he noticed a leaf on Teanoka's hair and feathers on Masrur's. "Don't tell me both of you slept in the forest last night." "Yeah. "They answered together. Then, they saw Sharrkan's face —mixed with confusion, uncertain , shocked and it all settles down with an unbelievable expression, "Masrur ... you know we have tons of guest room right?"

"You guys were already asleep when I found Teanoka."

Sharrkan showed his confusion. "...so? "

"Ja'far san said that no one is allows to bring in guest without his permission, especially Sin and you."Masrur reminded him kindly, "During the morning meeting two days ago."

But Sharrkan still doesn't remember anything about that meeting. Must have fallen asleep...

"Masrur san was kind enough to stay with me at the forest. I'm grateful for him."She said with a yawn.

"Oh well."Sharrkan decided to drop the topic."Looks like a good weather to sleep late. I had found you guys, I guess I can go back to sleep now."He stared out at the rain with sleepy eyes.

"Can I borrow an umbrella?"

"Even with an umbrella you will still get wet."Masrur said matter-of-factly.

"So you prefer me to wander around freely in the palace area? "

"Actually, as long as you stay away from Crimson Cancer Tower and Purple Leo Tower, you can access the facilities here."Sharrkan briefly explained the buildings here and their names.

Very kind of him to share his buildings with others, King Sinbad sure love his people. "I guess I'll visit the library and wait till the rain stop."She thanked both of them and walk along the corridor that connected to each building.

She silently noted the layout here. This will be handy. I should go inspect the Purple Leo Tower ... the private quarter of the king, too.

The two-floored library is ample and full of shelves taller than man that filled with books. Due to raining ,the natural light from outside was dim but the lights inside helps provide enough light for a pleasant reading experience. The upper library need authority to pass through so she assumes it's where the professional stuffs and rooms to delve books that are important.

She draw out a simple book and settled down at a table near to the huge glass window. She observed via the window, that's the Purple Leo Tower. It's connected with ... the training ground that Sharrkan brought her yesterday! Her eyes brightened up but dimmed once she saw that there are guards over there. How naive of me to think that it will be easy. It's a king I'm planning to assassinate, noob.

She sighed inwardly and focused on the book in her hand. Let's see ... the title of the book is ... Words for beginxxx. xxx means she doesn't know how to read . She didn't have any formal education before so she can't read nor write, but she is en route to learn to .

She stared so hard at those symbols. To her, it's some sort of code and she has to decode it. "Erm ... The rock is big. The saxx is small. I like to xxx. I dislike xxx. The room is dark and the sun is bright. Xxxter is cold and Spring...oh, Winter is cold and Spring is warm."

After some warming up, she started to try reading short passage. "The dunxxx is something that axpeaxxx suddenly in the world. The people who successfully conxxx the dunxxx will gain fame, xxx and power. However, the dunxxx is very dangerous . Barely anyone makes it out alive." Hmm...? Gain fame, power and what? Money?

She flipped to another page, "Basic writing... 'Excuse me' is wrote as ... why so many curls!? 'Sorry' is ... and 'Please', 'thank you'."She used her finger in lieu the pencil and wrote at the mid air.

A thought tinkered her mind: How to write 'shut up' and 'go die' , what about 'idiot'? She will be more than happy to write a love letter to her owner if she knows all these words ,at least she already knew how to write the word 'anonymous '.

She closed the book and dragged out a ragged manuscript note out of her backpacks. She wants to know what's in it, that's the main reason she started to learn how to write and read.

She wasted some time reading it. After awhile,she shuts it close and messed her hair in annoyance. By the love of anything that's holy, if isn't for this note is too private for anyone to read , I will just ask someone to read for me instead of having to struggle like this.

The rain had stopped. Sunshine is out and the air is better after a morning shower. She could see from here, the sundial on that delicate bell tower indicated that it's early afternoon.

"Time to grab some food." I got no money." Oh well, when there's a will, there's a way.

She stretched her arms and tidy up her mess.

Out of this royal place then.


That's it ! I hope you like it. (┌ω・)┌✧
