The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 816

Karl looked around the nursery, which was decorated all in pastel blues and greys, and examined the current layout to determine how and where he was going to place the Runework that the Lady of Drodh wanted.

Watching over his shoulder, with her aura completely restrained, the Lady of Drodh gave off the image of the perfect gentle and sweet wife, but Karl knew that she was a Mythic Rank or higher ancient Demon.

Still, the way that she could hide her aura made her feel completely motherly. Or perhaps it was the other way around? Perhaps she could hide her aura because she was already motherly? She clearly loved being one.

"How often does this room get renovated? I could paint the runes on, or I could carve them. The answer depends on how much you value aesthetics and how often you paint the walls.

Painting over the runes either way could cause them to deactivate. Though that’s much less likely to happen with carved runes." Karl explained. Explore stories on freewebnovel

The Lady frowned. "I like to change it twice a year. But some parts of the room tend to remain the same. The ceiling is rarely touched, and those crown mouldings are relics from before my time. Please don’t damage those."

If they were from before her time, that meant they were over four hundred years old. She had been married longer than that, and presumably this castle had been their home since then.

Karl would have to look into the history of Drodh more deeply than Little Butterfly’s plays. Or get Remi some books on it. She would read through them all soon enough.

Karl nodded. "Why don’t I make you a custom item instead? It will take a bit of time, but it will be much more likely to survive a renovation and last until the boys’ foundation is established."

The Lady shook her head. "The Nobles watch too closely at our every move. If you’re seen coming and going again after the party, or we receive a gift from you that they don’t know about, they will question every milestone the boys make, and my babies will never have any peace."

Karl nodded in understanding. Then he got a great idea.

"Do you have a painting easel?" He asked.

The Lady looked confused, but led Karl to another room. It was filled with inks, papers and assorted artistic supplies.

"This will do wonderfully." Karl explained, then took a bit of Monarch Ranked silk from Rae’s space and cut it to size for one of the blank Canvas.
