Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress-Chapter 1048

To lighten the mood after this emotional one, the next story was the love story of a commoner girl and a knight. It seemed like another love story, a knight who fell in love with a girl who took him in and saved him when he collapsed while on the way home from the battlefield.

The knight fell in love with the girl and took her home to his place and married her. But one day, the knight went to battle again. He almost died but returned home with a lot of injuries. Thanks to magicians the knight was healed and successfully reunited with his wife.

This story was created by Arabella. It was an edited version of the usual stories about knights falling in love. She made it like this to remind the people here of the risks that Knights take for the sake of the Kingdom and the people.

The parts about the crucial role of magicians in the knight’s recovery, was to remind the people how valuable and have magicians were. Arabella made this story because of the event here where the knights and magicians were disrespected.

It was to show that knights and magicians also have emotions, could be hurt and injured, and also lived like other humans did. And that they also have their reasons to do what they are doing.

The story-telling caravan ended successfully. The people left the venue talking about all the events and the stories and what they liked and disliked in it, or what resonated with them the most.

The next day, the story was the talk of all of Sibruh and more people would come to attend the scheduled story telling caravans.

Thus, all the following story telling caravan for the week ended successfully with all their goals met. The people were entertained and had fun while likewise, learned lessons and got reminders from the stories.

"Well done, Denzel!! Congratulations on successfully implementing the story telling caravan!" Arabella when they gathered for a meeting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It was only possible because of all your support," Denzel spoke humbly but it was clear in his eyes he was delighted and motivated by the results.

"It is also because of your dedication and hardwork. You did well in the information gathering to the preparations and implementation," Arabella praised.

"I feel deeply honored by your praise, Your Majesty," Denzel responded with bright eyes. His fellow assistants then congratulated him next.

After this they conducted a meeting and talked about the next projects to be implemented. All preparations were going well so far and there had been no problems lately.

When Arabella was back in Riva, she also did all her paperworks as Empress. And Ferdinand, when he could visit, returns home to the palace to come to see her.

—--

Ferdinand.

It was another day dealing with all the troublesome work of being a ruler. In all his life, Ferdinand realized one of the worst experiences he had was being a ruler. It was looked up to as a position of power by the common masses but in fact, it was one of the most restricting and tiring lifestyles to have.

For Ferdinand, it was the strictest he had ever lived; with so many do’s and don’ts and rules and etiquettes to follow.

He was also flooded with work every single day aside from having to fight the people’s wars for them. Ferdinand had trained his human body to be able to manage both without a hitch. The business had also stopped his boredom for a while.

But now, he was growing frustrated and impatient with all the time he must pour into all this. Especially, because he could barely even go and see his beloved Arabella.

All Ferdinand wanted to do was to be with her every single day and let time pass by observing her and getting to know her. There was nothing more for him to achieve in this life after all.

He had gotten it all in all those thousands of years chasing after whatever interested him.

Now, all he wanted was to get to know his wife, his mate. To understand her deeper and know the reason behind her smiles, laughter, and the deeply melancholic look in her eyes that had been surfacing often lately.

Ferdinand did not know if Arabella had noticed it or not, but he surely did. It made him want to use the now forbidden power to read minds, a spell he had been trying to recall but could not. The gods had erased it from their memories, but Ferdinand could recall using it several millennia ago before he went for his death-like slumber.

After waking up, none of them could remember it. Or perhaps, Elrond did but did not tell them. Elrond had always been the most obedient to the gods among them because of his power. Glimpses of the future had made Elrond always decide basing from what would be best for the future through the sight he sees.

Elrond had become the crack of gods and the long-lived races had learned to obey him since not doing so usually resulted in a future they did not like.

Even Ferdinand had learned to listen to him. Elrond had never told him to do or not do something without reason after all. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Coming here to the human realm for instance. The oracle system was basically instructions from the gods. And Elrond got a glimpse of Ferdinand and Raymond finding their mates. Thus, they were sent here.

Raymond was not sure if he would but was more open to the idea than Ferdinand. Ferdinand, for the first time, thought that Elrond was being absurd, and that the Dragon God was just forcing them to get married and have children.

Ferdinand, who had not fallen in love or ever thought of marriage or having children in his incredibly long life, found it almost impossible to find a mate, especially in such a short-time. And yet, it happened.
