9 The secret weapon (2/2)

He decided to look out in the market but he could not find anything which suited his standards. He wanted it to be above average. Not too weak but not too strong. But given his personality he only looks for the best. Nothing ever woke his interest with the available swords in the market. He needed to go to another City or kingdom to find what he wants. The problem was he did not have enough time.

After so much thought he asked Madel, Helen and Cheska come to their house to study together. He introduced them to his grandfather and he invited them to their garden. His grandfather gave him a mischievous smile and left.

The garden was spacious. It was a pond with lotuses and big orange and blue fishes called Jirhuan. The fishes have wide thin tails and fins which beautifully sways as they swim. It was a symbol of wealth in Planet Rosetha. In the middle of the pond there was a wide and elegant pergola with tables and chair.Not long after they were engrossed with reading books when Henry said he will get additional books from the study.

”Madel come with me.” Henry asked.

Although she was hesitant she still went with him. He was always like that. He wanted someone to accompany him even though he was only going to the rest room or other places in school.

”Such a coward. If only I did not love you, I would have crushed you into a meat paste.” She thought.

Henry noticed her roll her eyes, dissatisfied. He chuckled. But he was also nervous, there was a 98% chance that she will not be able to acquire the recognition of the celestial sword. But his heart kept telling him to trust her.

While Madel was looking at Henry selecting books his grandfather talked to her.

”Madel did you find the book about the….” Henry was surprised not to see her around. He felt nervous. It could not be that his grandfather had already made a move without telling him, and besides how did he knew that it was Madel.

Earlier.

”hello child, would you like to accompany this old man to the grand hall and help me with these flowers.” He said.

Madel nodded, smiled, took the flowers and accompanied him.

”Sir, you like flowers?”

He smiled and said no.He explained that he puts the flowers in the grand hall daily to gain the recognition of something from his collection.

He asked Madel to put it in the vase.

”can you see the sword above the vase dear?” He said.

”Yes sir, this katana?” she said.

He was surprised when he named it as that. He did not know what a katana is but he nodded.

”Can you bring it over to me?” he asked.

”yes sir.”
