The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1383 Restless Night

The potential for retaliation from the Queenʼs faction had Cara so excited that she hardly slept all night, desperately hoping that someone was going to break into their suite to attempt to assassinate the Princess.

There was only one problem with her plans to torment intruders.

That being the simple fact that an excited and bloodthirsty Chaos Badger inside the room triggered everyoneʼs danger senses so strongly that most of the potential troublemakers couldnʼt even approach the suite without breaking out in cold sweats, and the Royal Guards had to be moved three doors down the hall.

They knew that it wasnʼt aimed at them, but it was a nightmare for their nerves. Being far less attuned to danger than the guards were, Rue slept like a rock and only climbed out of bed as the sun came up, long after Cara had calmed down and realized that nobody was going to try anything in the middle of the night. She still had hope that they would eventually, though.

”Are you excited to start training with the Crown Prince?” Cara asked as she helped braid Rueʼs hair into an intricate mass that the Palace Maids were certain they would never be able to brush out again.

In fact, at least two thirds of that design appeared to violate at least one law of physics.

”Alright, Iʼve gotten her as close to another advancement as I can. Now, you can send her off with the Crown Prince for job training, and I will show up at random for surprise combat readiness training” Cara declared.

The maid looked horrified. ”Please donʼt randomly attack the Crown Prince. The Royal Guard will take it the wrong way.”

Rue giggled. ”Saying that only encourages her to do it. Donʼt worry, Sister. I will be back to work on my class skills just after lunch. The training program is only half a day, five days a week”

Cara sighed. ”Alright, go play with the Prince. I will be here, making upgrades to the illusion so that we can find new ways to train you this evening.”

Rue gave her an enthusiastic thumbs up before she was dragged out to start her first day of job training.

Then Cara turned to Karl. ”Are we planning something fun for this morning, or can I go back to bed?”

Karl shook his head. ”Iʼm just working on a new spell that might be able to turn Rue into a dragon. I can probably teach her [Avatar], since sheʼs supposed to be a Void Avatar by class. But I was thinking something more interesting.”

Cara smirked as she sensed the details in Karlʼs mind from his experiments the day before, but she also knew that she didnʼt have to be around for the interim parts, so she headed to her pile of loot for a nap.

Two hours should do it.

With that much, the Karl should be nearly finished making his skill, and then she would have time to convince him to alter the training area before Rue was back, and then she could sneak down to the kitchen to see if they had new snacks.

Though, this place was challenging to sneak around in.

Back home, everyone kind of ignored her going where she pleased, but here in the Palace, they sent someone to track her down the moment that she left the

room.

Even when she flew out the window to explore, they still sent someone after her.

So, returning to her space to sleep was the perfect way to pass the time and recharge her energy before it was time to forage for new and interesting things in the Palace.

[...]

[Snacks, I definitely meant snacks.]

Karl laughed as Cara wiggled on the pile of coins, trinkets, various city branded keepsakes and magical items, then changed her mind and went to sleep in the ornate coffin that had once been a Lich Lordʼs Phylactery.

The combination of [Bestial Raiment] and [Beast Form] was coming along well, and Karl now had a complete skill, ready for merger.

It focused on the amplification of oneʼs inner aspects, which was as close as he could manage to getting a specific outcome. But if he was right, it should give you an Epic Grade form, fully clothed in a way appropriate to the situation. {New Skill Learned} [Warbeast] Artifact Grade Transformation. Grants a fully armoured bestial form with Epic Grade Status.

Karl stared at it for a moment. It sounded so simple. But how could it be, when it was an Artifact Grade transformation spell? Plus, that spell name was not at all what he was expecting.

Did he focus too much on the armour portions of the spell combination?

Well, he couldnʼt argue too much. It worked, he had the new spell, so it was usable, and possible teachable.

[Are you going to try that? Or am I?] Cara asked lazily from her nap spot. ”You know what? Why donʼt you do the spell testing for me? If you can use it. Just transform and show off the form for a bit so I can inspect it.” Karl agreed. [Alter the room. If you wanted dragons, this might be big.] She warned. Karl brought up the Illusionary Domain again, and set it to look like the training garden.

Cara wouldnʼt actually be able to fight with anyone without causing issues, but it would at least let her test the new skill in private.

Relative privacy, Karl realized, as he sensed a Palace Maid standing quietly in

the corner. He could send her away, but that would only breed gossip, and so far, the rest of the palace had no idea what he had been doing, as it wasnʼt a visible process.

Cara came out of her space in humanoid form, wearing short shorts and a crop

top, barefoot.

Karl laughed as she looked in a mirror to examine her appearance for the day with obvious satisfaction. He wasnʼt sure what look she was going for, but it seemed that she had found it.

”You know, I can use this spell on other people. Not just myself. This is pretty good.” Cara announced.

”Oh? That is new. Neither of the spells it evolved from could be cast on others. You know, we should likely have Barry here for this.” Karl noted.

Cara smiled cheerfully. ”He might cry if we donʼt. You, dragon lady in the cute dress. Bring us the Librarian.”
