《Heir of the Divine Phoenix》43. Spirits [1]

Different from Elemental Spirits, that only exist on their owner or partner soul, Spirits are creatures born from Mana, to be precise, they're the spiritual manifestation of Mana, however, few people can actually see them, they're rare and only chosen ones can actually see or communicate with them.
A Spirit flew curiously around Feuer before it sat on the light golden-haired boy palm as it hummed happily, there were fifteen Spirits, all of them hummed in a happy manner before they also sat at Feuer palm, when it didn't have enough space, they sat on his shoulder.
Feuer didn't say anything because he knew that his voice would scare them, after what happened, he just couldn't bring himself to be warm with the ever-smiling Spirits around him, his feelings were still here, however, why did it felt so distant to him? This was an answer he didn't know yet.
The Spirits seemed to understand his feelings as all of them collectively hugged him with their tiny, spiritual hands, Layla, at the side, was completely dumbfounded as she thought 'Just who he is? To think that even with his eyes being so cold and emotionless, the Spirits hugged him so intimately?'
Layla's curiosity was raised but she couldn't ask anything as Feuer turned his attention to Layla before he said ''It's the first time I meet Spirits, I heard their existence is rare, not to mention they actively being around you...''
She smiled slightly ''My Clan is known for their Spiritual affinity, we have a high affinity to elements and every generation, there's a blessed clansman, many times being the Young Miss or Young Master of the Clan, this time, it was me, the current Young Miss, we, the Magne Clan, are pretty famous!'' Layla said while feeling proud of her Clan, expecting a reaction of Feuer, that remained emotionless as ever.

''Never heard of it...'' He said in a simple manner, Layla felt the urge to hit him but remembering his strong grip and dominant actions, she blushed and forced herself not to do so, fearing that she would be pushed on the ground once again 'It would be an extreme shame for this to happen in front of my servants!' Layla thought before nodding to herself.
Feuer thought to himself 'Spirits, from what I have read, they generally like to stay on Forests where Dryads also lives, this girl Clan must be special, I won't [Observe] her since she indeed helped me...' then, he heard Dämon crying before picking him up on his arms gently and slowly rocking his newborn brother, differently from babies on his previous life, the babies here don't need Doctors because they receive nutrients and Mana to nurture their body, which is why Feuer isn't worried about his brother health.
As Feuer rocked the newborn Dämon, his gaze turned incomparably gentle, Layla, that saw his gentle gaze, fell into a daze, only coming out of it after a few minutes, when Dämon stopped crying 'What are you thinking, Layla, you just met him, you need to compose yourself!' Layla thought as her mind became pure chaos, the image of the cold Feuer suddenly showing such a gentle gaze kept playing on her head.
''Which Kingdom are you from, Lady Layla?'' Feuer asked while nurturing Dämon with his Mana and maintaining his body warm by sending small amounts of gentle Fire Element, despite feeling curious, no trace of curiosity could be felt on his voice, smiling charmingly, Layla said as the Spirits flew around her happily ''I'm from the Geist Kingdom, Geist means Spirit on their race language, our ancestors named it like that after discovering that his descendants had high affinity towards Elements and one of them, being blessed, could communicate with the Spirits!''

Feuer nodded before saying ''So this makes you a Princess, right? What brings Your Highness out of her Palace? Seeing your tired expression, you probably went to a place far away, hm?''
Layla face sunk slightly ''Yeah, I'm the First Princess, I have a few brothers and sisters, however, our Kingdom is in a dire situation right now due to the recent chaos, the Demon King invaded a few of the nearby Kingdoms under our control so we had to send troops, this made us lose many soldiers which weakened the Kingdom, the Demon King suddenly retreated, which made our rival Kingdom, the Ean Kingdom, feel a chance to attack us, however, their King promised to my Royal Father that if I married the Crown Prince, they wouldn't attack us...''
'I see... She became a political tool, the scapegoat of the Kingdom, even in times of crisis, Humans can still be so selfish and greedy, disappointing...' Feuer thought before nodding ''What's the situation of your Kingdom? What's the difference in strength between your Kingdom and your rival Kingdom?'' he asked, if he got to know the difference, he would also know the strength of Layla Royal Father, which would also mean he would have preparations.
''My Royal Father is at Peak Spiritual Core while the King Ean is at the same realm of him, however, he was always slightly inferior to my Royal Father but with the Kingdom weakened, his Kingdom would eventually win in a war...'' Layla said while sighing bitterly, seemingly accepting her fate.
Feuer calculated the benefits he would have if he helps the poor Political Tool Kingdom 'Having a Kingdom to stay temporarily is good, since this Kingdom ranking is two ranks above mine, there'll have an Adventurer Guild here, with the King being only at this level of strength, he'll not be able to even touch my clothes, the resources accumulated by a Kingdom through hundreds of years would be good for me, though...' he thought, by saving the Geist Kingdom, Feuer would clear the debt of him being helped by her.
It's not him exaggerating, his Mana was exhausted and he knew that it would take him some hours to wake up and recover his exhausted Mana, leaving Dämon without the necessary nutrients for hours, Feuer only pretended not to notice when the Spirits gave him small amounts of Mana.
'Well, Ean Royal Family, I don't hold a grudge against you but a debt is a debt and this means you're dead...' Feuer thought while making a joke to himself, despite that, no laughter or smile appeared on his face, however, the Spirits around him noticed that his mood changed to a better one as they hummed happily, singing a pleasant song to Feuer's ears.

It has been 50 years since humanity has made its mark on the galaxy. Before that, humans were a simple species, living in isolation in their own little part of the galaxy. But times have changed, and so have the views of the humans that have now spread across the stars.
