Chapter 27: Master Merlin stalking on someone?

Breathe in. Breath out. Breathe in. Breath out

The process of repeating my breath in a cyclical manner, removing all thoughts and impurities from myself, from every aspect of my body and mind, so that I can gain access to my soul.

"HERE COMES A TICKLE!" [Merlin]

"KYAAA! MASTER! STOP IT!" [Diana]

"Fie! You can join too" [Merlin]

"Meow" [Fie]

"Mercy!" [Diana]

My beautiful Master Merlin's sudden tickling attack on my stomach took me completely by surprise. On this windy day, with the smell of this strange herb around me and a magic circle drawn by Master around me, I train to enter my soul, or by master own word, to become one with the soul

I told the whole story of what happened the other day and Master said that although I had successfully removed the curse from Kara and Mara, she had found that the impurities of THE THING were now attached to my soul.

If you hug them while you're crying and remove the curse, your soul resonates with them, causing Titania's blessing to remove the curses. In short, it's Titania through her blessing that removes the curse from the twin, not you, and as a result of not properly controlling your power and blessing, the curse gets stuck in your soul. Even though it's less than one percent and should disappear on its own, I wanted you to remove it yourself.

That's a long explanation. Apparently it should be perfectly fine, and I should have this class sooner or later, but she decided to do it now of all times. If the curse of THE THING can be easily removed through time, I wonder why Master has forced me to do it now? Is there some other reason? A reason of which I am not fully aware.

"No more..." [Diana]

I ran out of breath. Her tickle attack is deadly.

"More!" [Merlin]

"No!" [Diana]

I protect myself with a steel body spell as the beautiful master in front of me wants to tickle me some more. She looks disappointed as I firmly refuse to entertain her.

"Fine..." (I have just removed the curse from THE THING through the tickle, and implanted a false curse that should be easily removed by her. Now those guys and THE THING shouldn't know about the fairy spring inside her.) [Merlin]

Master then sat in her wooden chair, enjoying her cup of tea and biscuits, while telling me to get on with my training. She then cast a spell on the glass ball and it looks like she's spying on someone... or something? I don't know, as she cast a spell to block my view and quickly told me to concentrate on her training. Weird.

~MERLIN POINT OF VIEW~

So this Gilbert, who is he working with? He is clearly able to manipulate a power source that comes from THE THING.

I'm just glad that he and his minions didn't find out about Diana and her blessing, but to make sure everything went well, I've already purified Diana's soul and made sure that any potential tracing spell is removed from Diana.

Should I call Amleth again? I'm sure she'd be delighted, but at the same time I'm sure her sadness from that time would open up again. Seriously, it's not her fault, and yet she took it very personally, a strength and a weakness to have as a queen.

"Sigh..." [Merlin]

THE THING began to awaken. The Devil began to gather their forces. The Empire wanted to take control of the land. The attempt on Amleth and her daughter. The communication with the Goddess was cut off. This is bad.

At the moment, the only powerful mortals are Nar and Sas. There are a few others, but they are not quite there yet. Still, time is on our side, but that shouldn't be an excuse not to hurry.

"Master" [Diana]

"Having trouble?" [Merlin]

"No. I have already removed the curse from my soul, but I have a feeling that the curse is somehow connected to you" [Diana].

"You're just imagining it" [Merlin]

That's... THAT'S PERFECT.

She's a genius. I didn't think she'd be able to do it at all when I implanted my false curse, but who would have thought she could do it in a flash! A blessing from Titania and the Fairy Fountain? Perhaps? But more because of her talent!

(Nar, Sas and now Diana. Looks like the fate of the world is in your hands) [Merlin]
