It's been twenty days since I went to the library, but I couldn't find it again. It's as if it's right in front of my eyes, but I can't see it. The situation has become complicated. Now that I have discovered the existence of magic, many paths lie ahead, but there are also significant dangers. Based on the available evidence, such as the Morningstar family and magic that I didn't encounter in my previous life, and perhaps didn't exist, I can conclude that the future is different from what I expected. However, many characters do exist, just as I imagined. I need to conduct further research. For now, I have decided to shape my own magical heart according to the method in the magical book. Since I have both Targaryen and Stark blood, I must possess magical aptitude...

Month 16, Day 10
Damn it... how am I supposed to embrace nature? Darius, the fool, didn't say anything about it. What does it mean to accept nature? I've been thinking for ten days and haven't come to any specific conclusion...
What is nature? Well, as far as I know, it includes trees, mountains, the sea, and everything. The book mentioned the laws of nature and magic being the energy of life. Hmmm.
So, nature must be everything and yet nothing, everywhere and yet nowhere. If I were to describe nature as a person, would it be someone who shapes the world with magical energy or is shaped by magical energy?
In other words, everything is nature, and magic exists in everything. I just have to feel it, understand why everything is there, how it came into being, and how life flows within it.
Sitting on my bed, I don't think I'll come to any specific conclusion. I need to go out and experience it for myself...

Month 18, Day 10
Well, I asked myself several times why I should bother with this, and I came to the conclusion that I don't have a better option, so it's better to continue with this plan...
Two full months have passed since I spend every day in the palace gardens, gazing at the sea, and then closing my eyes to contemplate. During this time, I accompanied Lucifer twice on trips to the city and beyond to see the nature surrounding it...
Now, I'm sitting in the middle of the meadow, under the heart tree, and I've closed my eyes...
As I delved into contemplating the harmony of nature and its order, time passed, and after two months of practice and falling asleep, I finally didn't fall asleep...
Something changed in my body, or maybe not in myself, perhaps my soul underwent a transformation. I could feel it with all my being, a sense of complete serenity. I don't know what happened, but it felt like a fire ignited within me, warming my body. I felt more alive than ever before. I tried to feel my surroundings, but it wasn't a pleasant experience. A vast amount of information flooded into my brain, causing a headache. I couldn't handle it and fainted...
...
When I woke up, I found myself in my bed. Thankfully, the servants thought I had fallen asleep in the garden since this had happened before...
But oh, I had a terrible headache. It's better to take the next step with more patience and contemplation. This matter is no joke. I need to draw a serious plan because I can not do this alone it is dangerous...
First, I should start with talking to my father and impress him with that. Then convince him to allow me to learn to read. And in the final stage, find the hidden library and casually tell Lucifer about my experience and ask him to teach me... This plan needs to make everything seem normal. Yes, this is a good plan. I am a genius…

Shit, shit, shit! I am not a genius at all. After talking and making everyone believe I'm a prodigy, this adviser, Eric, won't leave me alone and keeps bombarding me with nonsense and teaching me stuff. What did I do wrong? I don't have any interest in studying. I should have started practicing my swordsmanship, although I doubt I'd be allowed to do that.
Anyway, forget about all these difficulties. The cursed library is nowhere to be found, as if it vanished using magic. Magic! How foolish I am, it should be hidden by magic… I can't even perform magic, then how can I find that library?
Jon, focus. You can do it. Let's see, it is better to go to the place where I found the library and meditate. After a year of practice, I can meditate easily. Once I reach the spot, I stand near the window and stare at the horizon, then I shut my eyes and focus on my surroundings. Guess what, I found a suspicious concentration of energy in one place, and I let my instincts guide me to that place. After some time, I opened my eyes and I was standing in front of the library door. I opened the door, and it was exactly the palace I was searching for. Now, let the plan begin...
...
And there I am, sitting in front of Lucifer, with those black
eyes and judging stare that makes me uncomfortable...
Lucifer says, "Okay, I will teach you, but I have my conditions."
I ask, "What kind of conditions?"
He replies, "First, you cannot quit because your training will be hard, and you must dedicate your time to magic. Second, you should continue your studies with Eric..."
"But those studies are boring..."
"Then there is no magic for you."
I look at Lucifer, feeling like a wounded baby, but it was of no use, so I surrender, "Okay..."
"And third, you cannot use your magic in public or tell anyone about it."
"And lastly, the most important condition is that you promise me to never practice your magic outside the castle because it is dangerous and nature will devour you."
I gulp and say, "Yes, sir!"
"Okay, we will start our class tomorrow."
And this is how my adventure in magic begins...
