Alma POV 4/17
Our second meeting included Elred gifting me a bunch of colorful flowers which were actually quite aromatic and of a way higher quality than the flowers that decorated my room. To be expected of the country named Flowerbed, they got to have nice flowers too, right?
And I believe most of them are also medicinal flowers, by using the Appraisal Ability on Dagger, I was able to see that each Flower had a special function and effect, and they always said in their descriptions that they were used for medicine, form curing headache, stomachache, to even be ingredients to make powerful health potions that could even heal wounds.
In fact, some of them can be digested directly for their effects to take effect, so I thought of it as a bunch of small potions instead, if things get to be bad, I might as well use them… maybe I will end up thanking Elred for giving me flowers.
”Oh my! Aren ’t they pretty? Thank you so much, Elred! ” I said. As I gave him a cute smile, the boy ate my act incredibly easily, as steam began to come out of his ears.
”And this is also a gift for you! ” He said, giving me the box covered in colorful paper.
”What might this be? ” I wondered, as I opened the box and saw a beautiful pendant made of magical mithril. The mithril itself was reinforced hundreds of times over, and it emanated an aura of magical power. It was also decorated with several colorful jewels, all of them were incredibly concentrated Spirit Stones as if an alchemist synthetized a kilogram of them into a small jewel and put several of them over the pendant.
I checked the item through Appraisal as well, and it seemed to enhance all Elemental Resistance while equipped, alongside enhancing magic damage. It also brought the ability to conjure some lesser spells of other elements, something incredible by itself, it was more like a Magical Artifact than anything else.
However, I can ’t use its offensive capabilities because my mana would corrupt it, nonetheless, I appreciated the gift because it was honestly quite beautiful and gave me a nice defense against magic and elements. The artifacts I found were not really like these, simple accessories, but they were ugly things nobody would wear around naturally.
This pendant was different, I could actually wear it without bringing too much attention. Of course, a princess as refined and rich as me is allowed to wear cute accessories, right?

”It ’s so pretty, thank you so much, Elred! And it looks so interesting too, I feel like it was crafted very meticulously… ” I said.
”Y-You can tell? Indeed! I had it custom-made for you, my nation ’s best crafters and alchemists worked on it all this time… This is why I didn ’t come earlier, I wanted to come back with this already done… I-I am glad you like it. ” said Elred.
”Can you help me wear it? ” I asked.
