Science/Magic 20 Heritage Of The Gods

"I was lucky." Bloed scratched his cheek in embarra.s.sment, but Camilla shook her head.

"No, Bloed. You need more than luck to do something like this. Worthy of being my son!"

Bloed did not know how to answer.

Camilla, on the other hand, smiled slyly. "I guess that as your mother I can't lag behind, huh. Fortunately, I also finished a groundbreaking project today. Something that will crown me as the best bioengineer of all time! Are you ready for it, Bloed?"

Bloed nodded with a smile.

Camilla then took Bloed inside her laboratory. When they were inside, Camilla pointed at a girl seated in a chair and smiled.

"Bloed, meet Reginleif, [Heritage of the G.o.ds], the last Valkyrie, and your partner from today onwards!"

Bloed eyes opened wide.

Long platinum hair, golden eyes, and incredibly pale skin. Reginleif beauty was incredibly breathtaking. Beauty such as hers could be called perfect.

Her delicate-looking body seemed so frail, and at the same time so strong. Her face was completely devoid of expressions, but her eyes were filled with confusion. A simple white dress was covering her body, and her naked feet rested softly on the ground.

Bloed was sure that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met. The only reason he did not fall in love with her instantly was that he already had someone in his heart.

"… A girl!?" Bloed asked startled.

Camilla giggled. "What do you think? She is beautiful, right?"

"B-But… A girl? How?"

"I already told you." Camilla replied with a face full of pride. "She is my last project, my best creation, the best Valkyrie ever!"

"Valkyrie?" Bloed was surprised. "An AI?"

Camilla shook her head.

"Not exactly. Although she is a Valkyrie, she is different than the Valkyries before her. Actually, she is part human, part AI. Mmm, you can say that I implanted an AI into a human body, and gave her human emotions and feelings. She even has her own ESP ability. Unfortunately, she needs a long time to define her personality. That will be your task."

"Mine?" Bloed asked surprised.

Camilla nodded smilingly. "Of course, yours. Reginleif will be your partner, bodyguard, friend, and servant. I designed her for you, Bloed. She is completely loyal to you, and everything about her is yours."

Bloed's expression turned complicated. On one side, he was happy that Camilla worked so hard to give him such a gift, but on the other side, he was frustrated that Camilla gifted him a woman.

Having the woman you love giving you a woman... It's a very-hard-to-describe feeling

Unfortunately, Camilla failed completely to see this.

"Come, let's see her." She pulled him inside.

Bloed followed reluctantly.

Camilla walked towards Reginleif and pushed Bloed towards her.

"Reginleif, he is Bloed, your master."

Reginleif looked at Bloed in confusion.

"Master…? So he is master… Master…"

Camilla looked at Bloed and elbowed him.

"What are you waiting for?"

Bloed smiled awkwardly. "h.e.l.lo, Reginleif."

"h.e.l.lo, master." She stood up and bowed respectfully.

Bloed smiled bitterly. "Please, stop with that. Simply call me Bloed. I call you Regina."

"I understand, master."

Bloed's expression twitched.

"I told you, call me Bloed."

"I know, master."

"… Regina?"

"Master?"

Bloed looked at the girl's innocent face and sighed. "Whatever. I guess I'll have to get used to it."

Camilla looked at the two of them and giggled. "Okay, now that you have introduced each other, it's time for me to explain you Reginleif's functions. Actually, you only need to know that she is a very advanced AI and has SS-Grade powers, but I limited her strength to your level. She can only unleash her entire strength when you are in a life-and-death danger."

"Huh? Why?" Bloed tilted his head confused.

"It's for your own good." Camilla explained. "You need to constantly use your ESP abilities to improve them, and battling is one of the fastest ways to improve your ESP abilities. If Reginleif is too strong, you will be too dependent on her and thus, you'll be unable to unleash your maximum potential."

Bloed nodded in acknowledgment. The fact that ESP abilities improved faster through battle was common knowledge in the federation. The reason was not completely known, but most thought it was due to the soul unleashing its maximum potential when its survival was in danger.

"But mother, I don't think I need a servant." Bloed frowned. "It's enough with the robots in the s.p.a.ceship."

Camilla smiled bitterly.

"If you don't want a servant, what do you think about a friend? You don't have any friends, Bloed. Having someone you can spend time with is good for you."

Bloed could only nod reluctantly.

Camilla watched it and sighed. She then caressed Bloed's cheek gently. "Bloed, take care of Reginleif. I hope you can teach her how to be human."

Bloed stared at Camilla's eyes and finally nodded. "Don't worry, mother. I'll treat her as my sister."

Camilla smiled. "That is good. Now go back to your laboratory. I need to make some last adjustments to Reginleif."

Bloed nodded again and left obediently.

When Bloed was gone, Camilla closed her eyes with a pained expression. She then walked towards Regina and hugged her.

"Mother?" Regina tilted her head confused.

"… Yes, you are my daughter… Sorry, Lina, sorry… sorry…"

Seeing the falling from Camilla's eyes, Regina lifted her hand and wiped them away.

"Are you ill, mother? My scans said that some of your organs are at risk of failure. You need immediate treatment."

Camilla shuddered. She knew it. The girl on her arms was not Lina, she was Reginleif. Lina died four hundred years ago, her soul completely destroyed.

But even so, she was also Reginleif's mother.

Because she created her, using the body of her only daughter.

"Don't worry about that, Reginleif… Also, don't mention my situation to Bloed."

"… I understand mother."

"… Please, take care of him. You can use your entire strength if you consider it necessary, but try not to stunt his growth. Help him to grow into an amazing man."

"Don't worry, mother, I'll protect master with all my being."

Camilla smiled.

"… Sorry, Lina… And I love you, my daughter."

Regina lowered her head in confusion.

She could not understand. She was not Lina. She did not know Lina. That name was not in her database.

And she could not understand the meaning of love.
