Since Daimon wanted to learn how to use the gun as soon as possible Elizabeth decided to use the time of the flight to explain some things about it while Aisha asked her for some low rank mana crystals to cultivate her core.
"Human Archmages are really low in number since their race is mostly oriented to the knight's path, but becoming a knight is quite hard since it requires to make the body go through a lot of tension to light up the life spark so the idea of the gun was conceived to help those who are yet to become knights or maybe even low ranked knights".
"To use the gun, you don't need mana nor battle aura, instead of that fire magic crystals are processed to become igniting dust which is then poured into a little container to be later sealed with the projectile, the result is what we call a bullet, the gun itself is just a frame to contain and then shoot the bullet without the user exposing to any accidents, just like a bow is needed to shoot an arrow".
Elizabeth took out the gun from the case to explain Daimon the steps needed to shoot the gun.
"Now the first thing you need to do is introduce the bullets in this space called "receiver", this gun's magazine tube can contain up to five bullets, after that you need to slide the forearm backwards you will hear a characteristic clicking sound that tells you the bullet was properly moved to the chamber, remove the safe lock and then just pull the trigger, the gun will do the rest".
Daimon carefully inspected the weapon which was somehow a mix between a shotgun with a rifle since the bullets used were not shotgun shells but normal bullets, the way to use it was actually quite simple at least for him who has seen fire arms a lot of times on his past life.
"Can we shoot it later, I want to see the power of the gun?", he asked.
Elizabeth happily nodded.
"Of course, big sister built a personal area to train in the usage of guns, since I can see they have a lot of potential, once we reach the Revy clan grounds, we'll shoot it".
Elizabeth finished her explanation because they were already at the entrance of the Revy clan, normally due to her position in the Revy family the guards wouldn't bother her but since they were ordered by the clan head to report if she left her mansion, the one welcoming her right now was… her older sister.
Daimon observed through the window of the carriage and saw a tall gray-haired woman hiding her face with a veil floating a few meters away from them.
Elizabeth gently lowered Daimon from her lap before leaving carriage, she approached her sister and they seemed to discos something before the guards allowed the carriage to enter the Revy clan, Aisha stopped absorbing mana from the crystals before calling Daimon to sit next to her.
"Don't worry darling that veiled woman is Elizabeth's older sister, she was also a friend of mine but… as the clan head she couldn't be seen on public with a vampire so we parted our ways a long time ago".
Daimon noticed the sad hidden tone on his mother's voice and he understood that it was not something they wanted to do, but something they were forced to do, he held Aisha's hand before saying.
"Mom… you are no longer a member of the Silverheart family and since you have the bracelet of the god of mischief then I don't see a reason not to get along with her".
Aisha smiled.
"You are right darling; besides I need to get you another "big sister" ♥".
Daimon shook his head,
"I don't think my bones can endure another Archmage moving me around, you know?".
…"Hahaha"
They both laughed which made the tension on the air disappear, the carriage landed on the ground in the back of a huge mansion at the left side of the Revy clan grounds.
Aisha opened the door of the carriage and entered the mansion followed by her son, Daimon thought the mansion will be filled with maids or servants based on what he knew about the Naktis but there was no one around, also it seemed like his mother was familiarized with the place because she followed a very specific path without any doubts.
After walking for about five minutes, they reached a big open room on which Elizabeth was sitting in front of the veiled woman Daimon saw before, Aisha sat next to her friend and Daimon was about to the same but Elizabeth smiled.
*Tap*
*Tap*
"Come sit on big sister's lap", the veiled woman focused her attention on Daimon which made him feel a bit shy but he still walked towards Elizabeth and sat on her legs.
After a moment of silence Aisha took the initiative speak.
"It's been a while… Elaine, you probably guessed it but I'm no longer tied to the Naktis nor the Silverheart families".
*sigh*
"It's nice to see you again Aisha, my stupid sister told me some of the things that happened… but I want to hear the whole story before if you don't mind".
Elizabeth interrupted.
"Are you really doubting on letting her stay, the three of us swore to support each other like sisters!!!".
…
It took a moment for Elaine to react, although Elizabeth has always been quite rebellious, it was also true that she always respected her as her older sister so this was the first time, she actually raised her voice while speaking with her.
Elaine took the veil off, which allowed Daimon to see her true appearance, she had long stray gray hair, her eyes were of a beautiful deep blue with little purple tones on them
"It's not like that, I just want to understand what happened… I once let her down because our father ordered me to sever any ties with vampires but now, I'm an Archmage and I won't let such a thing to happen again".
Elizabeth's angry expression relaxed a bit.
"I'm sorry… I didn't want to raise my voice".
Elaine shook her head, she stood up and lowered her head towards Aisha.
"It's fine, I once broke my promise can you forgive me Aisha?".
The truth was that as the older daughter of the Revy clan she had to inherit the head's position, her father who was the former head of the clan ordered her to never befriend a vampire specially one from a high noble family like Aisha, since Elaine was just a magus lord on that moment, she had no other choice but to obey him which led to the current situation.
Unlike Elizabeth who was always free to do practically what she wanted, Elaine had to focus on managing the clan which slowed down her cultivation, not too long ago she finally became an Archmage but when she was about to try and reach her friend again… she died or at least that was what she heard but now there she was sitting in front of her looking like the first time they met.
Aisha smiled.
"I never blamed you for anything and do you think I don't know you asked Elizabeth to give you one of the portraits of my son hahaha".
Elaine turned to see her sister.
"Liz, you promised me you wouldn't tell her that!!!".
Elizabeth stuck out her tongue at her.
"That's what you get for not telling me our father forced you to stop seeing Aisha, I became an Archmage almost 10 years ago, we could have reunited with her before and all this might not have to happen".
She rubbed her face against Daimon's before continuing.
"And more importantly I could have been present the day my little Daimon was born ♥".
Elaine shook her head.
"I swear, you will never change… I also wanted to see the son of our little sister all these years you know".
She approached Elizabeth before ruffling Daimon's hair.
"What do you say little Daimon, do you want to stay with your "big sisters" ♥?".
Seeing Aisha's happy expression there was no reason to refuse, besides he was also interested in magic blacksmithing and the fact that they were already developing fire arms, "two birds one stone I guess", he thought before answering.
"Yes".
Of course, Evangeline didn't miss the chance to mess with him.
"Ding, tittle acquired "Womanizer, hahaha", she said imitating a notification from the system, which made Daimon wish to be able to put her on mute or something like that.
