《The undead who yearned for life》42-Slowly growing

---------------Elise POV---------------
Emptying my mana pool as a baby is not an easy thing to do, even though I'm trying to do it since a month ago, nothing comes out of it.
When I asked Julie how she did it in a mere two days, the only answer was: "you need to feel *Wooosh*then convert the feeling into an element by *foooosh* and in the end you simply let it leak outside of your body by *shhhhhhhhh*".
Not the best help I could hope for. What I made progress on is the training of my physical stats, they're still very low, but I gained two points in each of them, and now it's time to try again that .
As Julie told me, I found where the mana pool is present in my body, then I need to take some energy from it and convert it in an element... aaahhh, f**k it; I don't need an element, just get out of my body, now.
As I tried to send the unrefined mana out of my body, I could feel it flowing in each part of my body... what is this? The mana is not being leaked but trapped inside of my body?
Congratulations, because of your actions, you gained the and the skill Ki reinforcement
YES, get that julie, I may not be able to use external magic all that well, but no one beats me in internal mana manipulation; "show skills".

My first skill, and it's even a useful one, with this I'll be able to simultaneously empty my mana and train my body; though the cost is quite high for now, I'm sure that with time I'll be able to sustain it for longer periods of time.
From the maids' gossip, I found out that we have six brothers and four sisters; the oldest brother is already five years old while we're the youngest princesses as we're only two months old.
Problem is: they're all humans, and I already know that they will grow to hate and despise us because we're different from them... and even if we were humans, they would still bully us as we're the youngest princesses, so our possibilities to inherit the throne would be near to 0.
Couple it with us being halflings, and even the servants don't give us much respect, their glare is a more than sufficient proof; only our mother treats us nicely and loves us. When I grow strong, I'll make sure to also protect her, no one will be allowed to even touch one of her hairs.

Speaking of which, our father still hasn't visited once and I don't understand why; if he was scum, would he not come to have sex with the most beatiful female more or less always? Is he not coming in order to not send undesired attention in our way? It's still to early to judge.
-------------------------Julie POV--------------------------
It isn't so bad the life as a baby; eat, sleep, get cleaned *blush* and repeat. Though lately my sister is getting more and more aggressive while asking me how I did to empty my mana pool after only two days... fortunately I didn't tell her that because I was sleepy I only tried it for the first time after two days. *teheee*
When I tried it, I immediately got the skill External mana manipulation, from then on I simply used the light element to nourish my body... as for why, I can only say that it gives the most comfortable feeling amongst the elements, like being under the kotatsu with my whole body.
Because of that I took a liking to the light element and I use it whenever possible when mother is not looking. I asked Help about what to do to in order to not being found out by mother and he told me that our mother is good with a bow but bad at magic, which is rare for elves; so we didn't need to worry unless the magic can be seen by the eye.
The strange thing is that I can't use my future vision, I hope that it will appear as I grow older, but something is telling me it will not happen, probably the Fate Goddess didn't want me to use it and live as a normal person, without worrying about the future; and I quite agree.
It's not that good to always know the future, there were times were I gave up even before trying because of it, so there were many experiences I did not go through. This time I'd like to do them even if they will hurt me; because you never know right? It could also go well.
If worst comes to worst, I know that my brother will arrive in time to save me, so I'll not hold back.
Ah, it's time to tell Help how amazing my brother is.
