Cordrial Gypsy

As the sun rose, Trisha entered my room intending to silently prepare a bath for me before we left for the Slarius kingdom, but I awoke as soon as she entered the room.

"My Lady, would you prefer your bath now or later? Morgan informed me that we are to depart in four hours, and a notice has been given out to the villagers about your temporary absence."

"You have already woken me I suppose you can prepare it now."

"Understood."

I reluctantly exited the warm embrace of my bed as I made my way to the bathroom. The departure date was upon us, and we had to leave for the Slarius Kingdom to meet with the rulers. I could have left for the kingdom a long time ago, but I had yet to scope the scenery of the underworld in person.

I slowly entered my massive bath, sighing as I felt the warm water seep into my body and soothe me to the bone.

"Trisha, have you ever been in bed with a man?"

Trisha was shocked by the question, since she just froze and stared at me confused. I could sense her hesitation as she tried answering my bombshell of a question, and I couldn't blame her.

"Once My Lady, but I was still young at the time and had no idea of my foolishness. I apologize for my idiocy and impurity."

Her answer was to be expected, but I didn't expect her to apologize like a lowly servant. She has been distant and awfully obedient as of lately, and I asked this question despite knowing the answer to quell any doubts, and my strategy seemed to have worked. I paid little to no mind at her strange behavior and let her finish her duties.

I quickly got dressed and left for the royal carriage near the stables. As I got close enough to smell the scent of dung and hay. I scrunched my nose and felt frustration at the scent, but I quickly got over it and made my way to Morgan and Oscar talking to a few of the servants.

When they noticed me, they immediately bowed, halting their conversation. Morgan and Oscar were also quite different, similar to Trisha, but I merely nodded my head and left for the carriages. The carriages had a small amount of food since individuals of a high tier don't require much materialistic nutrition, and they survive off mana in the air.

"Morgan, we are to leave in five minutes."

Morgan made an expression of puzzlement, but he merely bowed and made the necessary preparations for the trip to Slarius. I turned to Oscar and ordered him to show me to my mount since I despise being in enclosed areas for long periods, it makes me feel caged, just as I was with the Hearths.

Oscar seemed excited to lead me to my mount so he walked with an enthusiastic aura surrounding him until we reached a large shed far behind the others, or what seemed to be one. He opened the doors and what greeted me was the scent of spring water and a freezing breeze, one that puts shame to the temperature outside. Oscar turned to me with a proud poise as he began to speak.

"My Lady, what you have in front of you is the rare Cordrial Gypsy, the last of its kind in this region. This stallion is a rare variant among its kind as it possesses a silver dapple hide with blue eyes and a stunning mane reaching its eyes and flowing down the back of its pearly back. Despite being an infant, this stallion nears the size of normal horses and can grow to a height of 220 cm in its adulthood. Additionally, it can alter its size within that range so it can match your preferences. We all contributed heavily to obtaining this horse, and we hope you like it."

I stared at this fowl with a look of astonishment as it merely looked back. Not only is it one out of two thousand in both realms it is an extremely rare variant that can only be bred in the harshest of icy environments, granting an unparalleled ice talent and power. These majestic creatures can only be found in mountains that exceed a height of 40,000 feet (12.19 km) above sea level since they require a temperature close to absolute zero, making them most commonly found in the underworld where the temperature is 3.2 times more cold than that of the coldest area in the overworld in winter, and that's only in summer.
