YM778.TV Chapter 854: Looking For The Four Treasures Of The Tuatha De Danann [Part 1]
Not far from the sleeping girl, a fat chubby black cat also lay asleep, mumbling about the things it ate for dinner.
Behind the young lady was a man who seemed to be in his early thirties, sleeping while leaning on the wall, arms crossed over his chest. His short white hair glowed faintly as it reflected the sunlight that passed through the window of the library.
A few minutes later, the young lady stirred before slowly opening her eyes.
"... Where?" Chloe scanned her surroundings before remembering where she was. "Oh, right. I\'m in the library of the Royal Palace."
Ethan\'s cousin then raised her hands to do some light stretches, causing the blanket to fall on the floor behind her.
After doing a few stretches, she glanced at the book she had read through the night, making her sigh in her heart.
The Four Jewels of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
It was a book written with ancient scripture, which had almost disappeared from the world.
Fortunately, Chloe\'s bloodline allowed her to instinctively understand the words written in the Ancient Book.
This was all good, but there was one downside.
She could only understand and translate the words if she used her magic power.
Because of this, she was only able to read a fifth of the book before her magic reserves ran out, making her feel drowsy in the process.
"If this keeps up, I\'ll only be done reading this book in four more days," Chloe muttered in dismay before glancing at three more books piled up beside her, which she also needed to read.
The young lady could only smile bitterly, sighing in her heart because she knew that her quest wouldn\'t be easy.
But it wasn\'t that bad.
The young lady then opened the book to the part where she left off last night, which illustrated the four treasures of the Tuatha De Danann.
"Four presents brought with them,
By the nobles of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
A sword, a stone, a cauldron of worth,
A spear for the death of noble champions.
Lia Fáil brought from Fálias,
Which shouted when the True King had arrived.
Sword in the hand of the nimble Lúgh
From Goirias-a choice of vast riches.
From Fionnias far over the sea
Was brought the deadly spear of Nuadha.
From Muirias, a huge mighty treasure,
Cauldron of the Daghdha of noble deeds.
King of Heaven, King of feeble men,
May he protect me, King of royal regions,
The man in whom is the endurance of specters,
And the strength of the gentle race."
Chloe glanced at the drawings of the four treasures and smiled faintly.
\'I know the location of two of the treasures,\' Chloe thought as she caressed the illustrations of
the four treasures printed in the Ancient Book. "The Stone of Destiny is in my possession, and the Sword of Light is the giant sword in the castle. I only need to find the Spear and the Cauldron, and I will have the four treasures.\'
Among all of them, it was the spear that caught Chloe\'s attention.
She had seen Ethan wielding such a spear, so she wondered how her cousin found it.
\'I still need to confirm if Areadbhair is really the Spear called the Slayer of Champions,\' Chloe
mused. \'I hope it is, which only leaves the Cauldron of the Daghdha.\'
The young lady was about to continue reading when the door of the library opened.
Two maids carrying a tray of food entered the room, followed behind by the Crown Prince of Wisteria, Prince Louis.
"Good morning, Ms. Gremory," Prince Louis greeted. "I thought you\'d still be sleeping when we arrive. It\'s good to know that you\'re already awake."
Chloe stood up from her chair and gave the Prince a respectful bow.
"Good morning, Your Highness," Chloe replied.
"No need for pleasantries," Prince Louis said as he waved his hand. "My sister told me you fell asleep here last night. Next time, it will be best if you rest in your room, so you can get a proper rest."
The Crown Prince then glanced at the table and saw the three books on top of it.
He wasn\'t able to see the Chesmire Cat, who was still sleeping soundly, not caring that humans had entered the library.
Koko, on the other hand, slowly opened his eyes and lightly moved his neck to the left and right side, feeling a bit stiff because of his sleeping posture.
A few light cracks spread inside the room as he walked towards Chloe and stood by her side like her Protector.
"Good morning to you, Sir Koko," Prince Louis greeted the young man, who only returned his greeting with a nod of acknowledgment.
Understanding that Chloe\'s Guardian wouldn\'t be saying anything more, the Crown Prince smiled faintly before asking the maids to leave the room and lock the door behind them.
"Any progress in your research?" Prince Louis asked as he approached the table before unceremoniously sitting in the chair opposite Chloe\'s.
"There is a slight progress," Chloe replied. "But I still have to read these three books. Is it possible for me to borrow these books and return them at a later time? I plan to return to Brynhildr Academy after finishing the first book."
"I\'ll ask His Majesty later," Prince Louis answered. "He has the final say whether or not someone can take these books out of the Hidden Archives."
Chloe nodded in understanding, knowing how important these books were to the Kingdom of
Wisteria.
The Prince smiled faintly as he looked at the young lady who had gone back into reading once more, without even bothering to glance at the trays of food placed next to her. Perhaps, too focused on her reading, she didn\'t realize that her bloodline had stirred once more, just like it happened when she first tried to read the book about the treasures of the
Tuatha De Danann.
Three fluffy tails appeared behind her, and her ears were replaced by fox ears.
Although she looked a bit disheveled from sleeping in an awkward position during the night, the Prince wished that he could paint her appearance because it would be a beautiful painting. One he would love to hang in his room, where he could admire it every time he had the opportunity to do so.
