  Chapter 57: Mistake.

  *Celia’s POV*

  I gather up all of the Mana Crystals, but before I left, I noticed something odd… There was a new room in my dungeon. With great curiosity, I walked over to a new door and ope. What was shog, was what the room was used for… Before even attempting to figure this shit out, I hopped back to the castle.

  Lia: “Celia, what’s wrong?” She asked with a ed tone.

  Celia: “Two things… Please e with me so that I have some help processing all of this…” I ask with a pleading tone.

  Lia: “Of course, let’s ght now. Be back soon, Mom, Queen Marna.” She said with a serious tone before I teleported us to my dungeon.

  Without even saying anything, I walked over to the ype of Mana Crystal, picked one of them up, and then showed it to Lia. She actually almost passed out from seeing it. I guess that since she use magic, she tell what this Mana Crystal is…

  Lia: “Is… is it in short supply?” She asked with a shaky tone.

  Celia: “No… when I got here, there was already a pile of a thousand of them.” I say with a nervous tone.

  Lia: “This… this is going to cause at least a few wars…” She said with a serious tone.

  Celia: “That isn’t even the worst part…” I say with a sigh.

  Lia: “Then what is?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

  Not even answering her, I just guided her to the new room. The door was oddly closed, even though I didn’t close it. Once she peered into the room, she actually just straight up feinted… Was it called Kercha, yeah, I think that’s what they called it?…

  While I hold on to the sleeping Lia, I looked at the new room. There were tless Goblins, all cutting down Kercha trees, and processing the lumber. On the left side, was an ever expanding pile of logs…

  Where did the logs e from? Apparently, I was now the proud owner of not just a Mana Crystal produg dungeon, but a Kercha tree produg one as well.

  After being a sleepy little girl for a few minutes, Lia eventually woke back up. Though, rather than be happy, she had a grim expression on her face.

  Lia: “We… we o rethink the whole thing…” She said with a serious tone.

  Celia: “What do you mean?” I ask.

  Lia: “This dungeon… and its resources, it will cause the entire world to go to war.” She said with a grim tone.

  Celia: “So, we shouldn’t sell any of it?” I ask.

  Lia: “We Mother and the Queen here.” She said.

  Following her idea, I teleported back to the castle, and vihe two women to e with me. I should mention that there were knights, and a few maids who looked to be bat maids, who highly suggested that Marna NOT follow me. But she told them to stand down, and she ended up ing with me.

  I showed them around the dungeon, at least, the important parts of it. I also expined everything about it to them. The location, and how it keeps ging for the better.

  Taina: “Lia… have I ever told you that you’re my favorite daughter?” She said with a warm tone.

  Lia: “Yes. A lot of times, actually.” She replied.

  Taina: “Know that I favor you even more now. Just say the word, and I will make you the heir of our family, no questions asked.” She said with a serious tone.

  Lia: “I’ll keep that in mind.” She said with a sigh.

  Celia: “So, what do we do now?” I ask the three.

  Oh, actually four. Ria came along with me. Not! She just fug showed up here… And everyoed like she just came with us. She must have messed with their memories. Ah, the nod that Ria gave me, tells me that I was correct…

  Taina: “Selling any of it, would be extremely dangerous. And might even cause this entire world to go to war.” She said with a thinking pose.

  Celia: “Lia said the same thing.” I reply.

  Marna: “You have a very smart daughter, Taina.” She said with a warm tone.

  Taina: “I knardless, Marna, we at least he queen of the demons on our side before we even think about selling any of this.” She said with a serious tone.

  Marna: “That is my pn indeed. But it will take some time to get an audieh her.” She said with a thinking pose.

  Celia: “How long?” I ask with a curious tone.

  Marna: “Holy? It could take years…” She said with a sigh.

  Taina: “Regardless, you two should focus on the academy for now.” She said.

  Lia: “Right… We would be doing that, but Celia just had to go and kill a teacher.” She said with a sigh.

  Celia: “Hey, it was deemed that I was i, even though I killed him.” I say with a pout.

  Taina: “Celia is right.” She said.

  Lia: “…”

  Ha! Even your mother is siding with me. I win. Hey… Lia, you sure look cute when you pout. Oh God… am I a sadist just like Yona?…

  Taina: “Celia, may Marna and I take some of those new Mana Crystals with us?” She asked with a practically pleading tone.

  Marna: “Taina, her wife, and I all use magid we would be heavily from those special Mana Crystals.” She said.

  Taina: “We will not spread it around at all. Rest assured, it will be kept a secret.” She said with an assured tone.

  Celia: “Sure, take as many as you think that you easily hide.” I say with a shrug.

  Lia: “ I have some as well, Celia?” She asked with a nervous tone.

  Celia: “Of course, aren’t we friends?” I reply with a smile.

  Lia: “Thank you, Celia.” She said with a happy tone.

  e to think of it, even though I am Amelie’s student, I still don’t even know how to use magic at all… I should probably figure that out soon. It took them all a few mio pocket as many of those new Mana Crystals as they could. Apparently, magic pouches like mine are pretty on…

  Wait… aren’t these people pretty rich? I guess they aren’t on. And I doubt that theirs have the same capacity that mine does. sidering their rea to me having so many random things in my pouch.

  Marna: “May we please leave now? I don’t want to be rude, but having these Goblins ad talk like normal people, is kinda unnerving.” She said with a shaky tone.

  Taina: “I agree… I don’t think that I could even kill a Goblin again.” She said with a sigh.

  After that, I took them all back to the castle. Before leaving, Taina and Marna gave Lia and I a tour around the pace. As I did ask for it. Oddly, Amelie’s maie was far more luxurious thahe king and queen’s castle… That is beyond funny…

  A short carriage ride ter, Lia and I were back at our house. Well, I guess that she is just staying here, and Amelie is the ohat actually owns it. But it is our current house at the moment. So I shall call it as it is.

  It retty te by the time that we got home, so I said goodnight to Lia, ao my room. Though, befoing to sleep, I took out one of those new Mana Crystals.

  I have been sg off for far too long. I ’t even remember the st time that I even checked my Status. So the least I could do is now learn how to use magic. But first, I actually need mana. From the books that I read, it is reeo try to build a e with your chose, before you try to use magic.

  So, for instance, if you wao use water magic, you would have to be around water a lot. But there was another method. Which is using Mana Crystals to awaken your ability to use the element of whatever Mana Crystal that you used.

  You just have to e it. No. I don’t mean to eat it. You hold it close to your chest, and then try to suck the mana out of it. If you did it right, the Mana Crystal will disappear into mana, and be absorbed within you.

  And what better Mana Crystal to use, than the new ohat my dungeon made? I learn every element of magic all at once! With this thought, I gripped the Mana Crystal tightly, and thought about abs it.

  All went well, and I could feel various types of mana flow into me. Some were breezy, some were warm, and some felt shocky. So, I truly did get them all… I’ll check my Status out tomorrow m, I was beyond tired at this point.

  As I began to walk over to my bed, I felt something warm flowing down my face. My eyes and nose were both leaking blood… Before I could call for ao help me, I fell down onto the ground… As I was losing my fight to stay awake, I thought to myself, am I a goddamn idiot!?…
