Reborn As Noble

Chapter 1107: The Golden Tome and a Girl’s Curiosity ( 1107 )

While inside Francesca’s private room.

Mimi’s eyes widened as she took in the grandeur of the space. It wasn’t just grand, it was a treasure trove of magical knowledge. Shelves lined with ancient tomes, enchanted scrolls, and artifacts glowed softly under the ambient light. Her gaze landed on one particular, massive golden tome, its cover adorned with a breathtaking, multifaceted jewel at its center.

”Nya! Isn’t this the advanced-tier magic skill book?”

Mimi said, her eyes wide with awe as she stared at the huge golden tome. She reached out and tried to lift it, straining slightly under its weight.

”Onee-sama mentioned if only she could read it, nya! They all say the one who made the book only created one original without any copies, nya! It even teaches the strongest impenetrable barrier magic!” Mimi said in excitement, heaving the heavy tome into her arms.

Francesca smiled. ”Yes~ This contains all information about magic, including advanced-tier spells.” Francesca gracefully sat on the couch while Erisa poured her tea and served chocolates.

”Where did you get that information from?”

”Nya?” Mimi, still struggling to hold the heavy tome, continued. ”Papa and Mama mentioned one particular magic book with a real golden cover and a super beautiful jewel! Just like this one, nya!”

Francesca smiled. ”So Lioness told you about it, hmm?”

”Nya! Yes! Even Onee-sama said she wanted to see it when Papa always talked about it. He even showed us the only skill he learned from it, and nobody could even copy it, nya!”

”Did Lioness ever mention who wrote the magic formulas?” Francesca asked, her smile gentle.

Mimi, still trying to open the book by force but failing, huffed. ”Nya? Papa mentioned the one who wrote it was a girl. The strongest magician of all times!” Mimi said, then continued trying to pry it open, but it wouldn’t budge. ”Nya! It’s stuck!”

Francesca smiled. ”Do you know that the only one who can open the tome is the author herself?”

”Nya!?” Mimi’s tail and ears drooped. ”This means nobody can open it without her, then.” She exhaled and pouted. ”I just wanted to see the first spell, nya! Papa said the first pages already contain the strongest magic.”

Francesca smiled. ”If I call the person who wrote it and open it for you, will you promise me you’ll only look at the first page?”

”Nya!? Really?” Mimi’s ears perked up. ”I promise, Mother-in-law!” Mimi stood straight with a cute salute. ”If I try to look past the first page, you can punish me, Mother-in-law!”

”I’ll hold you to your word~” Francesca said, her eyes glinting with a mix of warmth and playful authority. ”And if you break your promise... let’s just say you won’t like the consequences, little kitten~”

”Nya! I promise, Mother-in-law! Just the first pages! Ehehehe~”

Francesca smiled, looking at her childlike enthusiasm, despite Mimi being nearly an adult, her energy and innocence remained refreshingly pure. ”Bring me the tome here.”

”Nya? Mother-in-law? You know the author? Is she in the Armand Estate?” Mimi tilted her head and, with a heavy huff, lifted the tome and moved the huge golden book toward the coffee table.

Francesca smiled gently. ”Yes... I know who the author of this advanced-tier magic book is. Since you already know no one can open this book except the author herself, no one knows the magic inside, except those who are allowed to learn from it. Do you want to know who has already learned skills from it?”

”Nya? Who, Mother-in-law?” Mimi huffed after finally setting the heavy tome down on the table near Francesca.

Francesca smiled gently and placed a finger on her lips, pretending to be deep in thought.

”Hmm... Lioness... Mylezra and Veldrac, I believe, for those outside the Armand family, but they only mastered one skill each. Your father learned advanced-tier empowering magic, Veldrac... hmm... I already forgot... while Mylezra learned the ultimate healing skill.”

”Nya? So no one in the Human Kingdom? Dwarven? Halfling Kingdom, nya?”

”No~ You know about The White Flame, right?”

”Nya? Father-in-law’s fourth wife? The dragon girl, nya?”

”Yes. She was able to learn five special skills from it.”

Mimi’s eyes sparkled with excitement. ”Wow... so no one else is allowed to learn more than that?”

”Only one person in Armand has ever learned every skill in this book, you know.”

”Eh? Who is it, nya?”

Francesca smiled. ”My husband~”
