3rd Person POV

I picked up one of the pens on display and stared at it. The spiral grooves on the pens nib were beautifully engraved.

When I dipped the nib into the prepared ink pot, the ink quickly ran down the groove and drew a spiral pattern on the nib.

Yes, this is it!

A piece of paper was prepared for me to try writing on. First, I wrote my name. I could write smoothly with the new pen. It didnt feel as scratchy as a quill pen.

Below my name, I drew the coat of arms of the Yurinova family. No matter which direction I move the pen, it didnt get stuck. Yes, this is the advantage of glass pens.

And the ink did not fade until I had almost finished drawing the coat of arms.

When I bought a glass pen in my previous life, I was told that once you dip the nib into the ink pot, you can write long enough to fill up an entire postcard or so. Im sure its more than that.

The pen I just tried was just the right size for Ekaterinas hand.

I picked up another pen. This one is a little bigger and heavier than the previous one. Im sure this one would be more comfortable in Alexeis hand. When I tried it out, I found that the ink also colored the nib with a beautiful spiral, making it easy to write with.

Umhow about this? Do you think I should design it to suck up more ink? It would make it a little more difficult to balance the look.

No, thats fine.

Ekaterina put down her pen.

Then she clasped, and squeezed Revs right hand with both of hers.

Rev, you are a genius! Youve come a long way in such a short period of time, and youve only shown me one of your designs! Im very impressed!

Ha! Um, no, not really!

Turning bright red, Rev shook his head.

No, you would need to have a great deal of natural talent to be able to do that. You have a wonderful sense of craftsmanship, insight and understanding. You also have a curiosity for the unknown and a sense of adventure. How fortunate I am to have met you.

Oh, thank you, Young Lady. I, I, I dont know what to do.

Rev is about to cry.

Mina, who was standing by his side, swooped in. She gently took Ekaterinas hand and peeled it away from Revs hand. Then, Mina went back to her place.

Ekaterina came to her senses. What a shameful thing for a young lady to hold the hand of a man of the opposite sex.

1st Person POV (Ekaterina)

And Rev, its uncomfortable to get praised so much, isnt it?

But I cant even begin to tell you how impressed I am! Im really impressed! You are a real genius to be able to produce at such quality so quickly. It was so amazing that even if I wanted to make an hour-long program, I would have run out of, what was it, film footage? I think it would be too much for an hour-long program.

No, he must have hit a wall in his own way at first. But Im sure he quickly overcame them with his wisdom and ingenuity.

Youre currently only twenty-two, right? You may become a master craftsman, even surpassing your late master, Master Murano.

Yes, you are a star on the rise. Thats what my eyes are telling me. Im really looking forward to your future.

Im really glad that I was able to buy the Murano workshop. A Dukes family is astounding. You can become a patron of geniuses. Its like the Medici family in my previous life.

Oh, Young Lady. Are you sure this is the right design to present to His Excellency the Duke?

Ah! Thats right, I have to have it redone in colored glass before Big Brothers birthday. It was incredible that the prototype was made in time before his birthday, but we didnt have that many days left.
