NOVEL NEXT 62 A Myth?!
Luis was dumbfounded by this different version of Alicia.
'Hmm, maybe we can try this kind of play in the future. I should make a note of it.' With a faint grin on his face, Luis left the room.
"Lily, what should I feed her?"
{Master, if it's just feeding, even the normal milk will do for the newborn. But if it's for her future development and growth, I suggest Mana nutrient solution in her infancy.}
"So be it."
With that said, Luis ordered a maid to bring it. Even if there were none, they could let the family alchemist make some.
While waiting for the maid, Luis asked curiously.
"Lily, are there any breeding materials about a Moon Fox?"
{No Master, there are no records of the Moon Fox being tamed.}
'As expected!'
Luis wasn't surprised by her answer. Because Moon Foxes are very rare creatures, at least on Alnaur.
"Lily, tell me about the Moon Fox."
{Sure, Master.}
Lily opened a hologram of many myths and records in Luis' mana bracelet. Then started explaining.
{The Moon Foxes are said to be the variants of the Tailed Foxes. They are one of the few species that have a high affinity for the Lunar Element. They prefer dark places and like to bask in the moonlight. Because of their nature, they are rarely seen in Alnaur.}
Luis already knew about this information. So, he wasn't surprised, but something still caught his attention.
"Tailed Foxes?"
Seeing that Luis was interested in Tailed Foxes, Lily started to explain.
{Tailed Foxes, also known as Sun Foxes. They are called the descendants of the Legendary Sacred Beast Nine-Tailed Fox. They use Solar Element and prefer to bask under sunlight. There is also a myth that says as the number of tails of the Tailed Fox grows, their power also increases and once it reaches to nine tails, they can get the power of the Sacred Nine-Tailed Fox.}
'Sacred Beast? Nine-Tailed Fox?'
Hearing this myth, Luis was also a little interested. However, he didn't know the exact power of the Sacred Beast because it was never revealed in the game. But he was certain that they were far more powerful than an SSS Rank.
"Lily, is there any myth related to Moon Fox?"
{No, there is too little information about the Moon Foxes. Moreover, they don't grow tails like Sun Foxes. So, the tail theory was discarded off.}
'Sure enough.'
Luis had asked this question with little expectation, so he wasn't disappointed. Also, it didn't matter to him whether the Moon Fox was related to some sacred beast or not. He just wanted to have a cute pet in the family with some combat strength to protect itself. But if Alicia wants to train it, he will surely support her. So, he left the choice completely to them.
"Lily, from the information you have found about the Moon Fox. Prepare a breeding and training plan and send it to Alicia. Also, let Jack send a Spirit Contract to Alicia."
{Is Sis Alicia going to sign a Spirit Contract with the Moon Fox?}
"It seems so. Do you like the Moon Fox too?" Luis asked with a faint smile.
Lily's hologram looked at him with a gleaming smile as her eyes twinkled. Then with a sweet giggle she said.
{Hehehe~ She's really cute~}
***
It didn't take long for the maids to bring the Mana Nutrient Solution. It seems there was still some in stock.
Back in Alicia's room. Under Alicia's care, the Moon Fox drank the Mana Nutrient Solution with relish.
*Kyu~*
"Did you think of a name for her?" Luis asked curiously as he watched Alicia teasing the Moon Fox.
"Yeah!" Alicia replied with her eyes shining, then she grabbed the Moon Fox with both her hands and raised her high. "I've decided, from now on, her name is Ivy."
"Ivy, huh?" Luis murmured thoughtfully. Then suggested, "I think Luna would be more meaningful."
Hearing this, Alicia objected immediately. "No! Who said the name should always be meaningful?"
For Alicia's protest, Luis was speechless but had no way to quibble. In the end, he could only give in. 'Well, as long as she is happy.' He thought with a sighing smile.
At this moment, another maid came and informed them.
"Young Master, Master and Madam are waiting for you and Lady Alicia."
"Hmm," Luis nodded in response. Then, turning to Alicia, he said. "Let's go, Alicia. Let's introduce Ivy to Mom and Dad, too."
"Yes!" Hearing Luis' words, Alicia also became excited as she picked up Ivy and put her on her shoulders. Ivy also cooperatively wrapped her fluffy tail around her neck and sat more comfortably.
Luis enviously glanced at Alicia when he saw the fluffy tail wrapped around her neck like a furry scarf.
'I want to try that too.'
***
At the breakfast table.
Lumine was reading some interesting articles while Ronald was on a call with someone.
"Good, then see you in the evening."
*Beep*
Seeing Ronald hanging up the call, Lumine swiped away the holograms with a wave of her hand and asked curiously, "David?"
"Yeah," Ronald replied with a nod.
Lumine mumbled thoughtfully, "This time his expedition went longer than expected."
"Well, there were just some discoveries. So, it took a little longer."
"Is that so?"
Lumine was somewhat curious but knew that Ronald also didn't know the details, so she decided to ask David later.
"Speaking of which… Did you tell him?"
"… Yeah."
As he said that, his expression also became subtle.
Lumine's brows furrowed as she asked, "What did he say?"
Shaking his head, Ronald said with a frown, "He is barely holding himself from going to war with the Royal family."
"…"
'So, are we!'
Although there was silence in the hall, both of them had the same thoughts in their minds.
*Kyu~*
The silence in the hall was broken by the arrival of a cute black and white fox-like fluffy creature.
"Hey~ Ivy~ Don't run around like that~"
Followed by the melodic and playful voice of Alicia.
