Chapter 4 - Onee-san wants to be praised? (1/2)
After somehow getting out of that dangerous situation, Princess Charlotte finally left me alone. I went over to the mirror to take a look at my appearance.
I had a good looking face, nothing that would make a man gay but not something that would make a cow run away from me. I had slightly long hair till my neck, completely pitch black except for a few streaks of shiny purple hair here and there that completely stood out.
The robe I was wearing was white with long collars with golden engravings on the edges, long full sleeves and went down till below my knees. The pants were plain black but were quite tight and flexible. The shoes I was wearing were black with golden highlights and the golden highlights had some engravings on them.
System, what do these engravings do?
*ting*
---
The engravings on the collar of your robe increase your magical defense and serve as a shield to any incoming magical attacks.
The engravings on your shoes increase your evasiveness and speed by 10%.

I went over to the glass table and took a look at the various potions. I lifted a potion that had blue glowing liquid in it.
System, what is this potion like thing?
*This is a potion of mana, drinking this would recover your mana by 100 points*
Mana? But I don't see my mana in my stats?
*You have yet to use any magic which is why it is not unlocked, many functions in this system will remain unlocked unless you discover them or complete a specific task to unlock them*
What's with these restrictions O God of Destruction, I guess I'll just have to live with this system.
*Yes, you can access the inventory with your thoughts and place all your items there with no limit. The Mages of this world also use Storage magic so you don't have to worry about trying to hide it.*
Now, that's convenient.
The Princess asked me to come to the armory after I had rested for a bit to choose a weapon, I am also itching to try using magic for the first time, as much as I want to try it right away, after what happened in the throne room I probably should be a bit more careful with my skills and magic, they are lot stronger than I ȧssumed them to be, don't wanna accidentally destroy the palace or something and have an army at my neck.
I wore the ring that the Princess gave me that acted as my ID as Lord Lockhart. It was a black ring with burning red engravings on it.
I steeled myself having to deal with the scary onee-san and walked towards the armory, the guards bowed slightly and moved aside.
As I checked their stats I realized their levels are quite low, Level 6 and Level 7 respectively. I imagined myself to be weak at Level 10 but so far I have only seen 5 people stronger than me. Everyone else who works in the palace is less than Level 10.
I have some idea about the power scaling and Levels but I should ask the Princess about it to get a better idea.
The busty princess was sitting on a nearby wooden table with her long white legs crossed over each other and her heels dangling in the air, she slowly got up and smiled when she saw me coming.
Her huge brėȧsts bounced with every step she took and I just hoped she wouldn't crush me like a bear, like last time.
”Fufu, Lord Glaze, you look quite handsome in your robes, they suit you very well,” she said tilting her head slightly with that same smile she had when saw me nȧkėd.
As all the hair on my body stood up straight, I replied ” Your highness has a good taste when it comes to these things, I am grateful for having these engraved clothes, these should help me out a lot in getting started”
”Ara ara, you don't have to be so formal and stiff all the time, Lord Glaze. We have a good number of weapons here, why don't you take a look and see what type of weapon suits you, you can take a few swings here, this room is made of a very strong material and has a magical barrier surrounding it so don't worry about damaging anything.”
”As you are at Novice level, you can only wield the full power of weapons at the Novice level, and half power of an Expert class weapon,” she said spreading her hands towards all the weapons in the racks.
