"Hmm what did you just say".
"Ahem! Madam won't be having breakfast with you".
"Ohh hah. So your saying she rejected my invitation". I see, Little Squirrel doesn't want to meet me.
"Ahh yes".
"I see".
She has a nerve to reject my invite. Hahh Little Squirrel is more amusing than I thought. Let's see how much longer she's planning on doing this.
"Where's Cedric?.
"He's with Madam. Madam has started her training so they're currently in the training ground".
"Hmm. Well I think she's busy so I won't interrupt her. Tell her that I would like to have lunch with her".
"As you wish".
"You may leave now".
...
"Ahhh ouch!".
"Madam! Are you alright?".
"Yes yes, I tripped over, my bad".
"I apologize for being so hard on you".
"Huhh you are? I thought you were going pretty easy on me".
"Ehh well, your better at wielding a sword than I thought".
"Really? Thats surprising".
"Did you perhaps learn it when you were younger".
"Ahh yes. I used to practice secretly back at the orphanage". I can't tell him that I learned sword wielding when I was young as I belonged to a noble family, who schemed to wipe out the vampires.
"Ahh that's why your skilled".
"Haha I guess so".
"Well let's take a break Madam! We'll need a lot of stamina for using magic".
"Ohh alright".
After a while
"Ohh by the way Cedric, how many magic forms can you use?". I asked out of curiosity.
"Well I can use four of them".
"Really? Which ones".
"Hmm fire, water, thunder and light magic".
"Ohh light magic! I've heard only some people possess that one".
"Ahh yes, well I probably inherited it from my family. It runs through the blood line".
"Ooo, that's really cool! Wait Cedric are you perhaps a vampire too".
"Ehhh no no no! I'm not one".
"Hmm it seems like that too. Well did you know that Allen was a vampire".
"Ahh yes, I've known since I was a child. Though I was really surprised that you figured out his identity just by staring at him for a mere second".
"Well I don't even know about that. I just had a feeling that he was one."
"Ahh yes. You know Madam, your the only one that wasn't afraid of Allen after knowing that he was a vampire. You know right, people are really terrified of vampires. Even though alot of people don't know his identity they still loathe him and get terrified by him. People may not know but Allen's really kind hearted. Though he doesn't admit it".
"I know that".
"Ehh pardon?".
"I know that he has a kind side to him also. Ahaha I'm good at reading eyes so I kinda figured it out. I could see the emptiness in his eyes. Though....I was a bit... disappointed in him when he casted that illusion on me. That's why I didn't want to meet him today.
"Well that's understandable. He did cross the line by doing that. I'm totally on your side when it comes to that".
"Oh wow. Haha I'm glad to know that".
Hmm Allen your one lucky man. You found someone who sees you for what you truly are. I hope you don't do anything reckless and end up regretting it.
"Well Madam look here, this is a magic paper".
"Ehh magic paper?".
"Yes, it shows you the number of magic forms you possess".
"Ahh really. By magic! I forgot to ask you something".
"Ahh go ahead".
"How many magic forms does Allen possess. I always feel a huge amount of mana from him".
"Well Allen....I actually don't know how much but I do know he can use more than five".
"Wha-whaatt! More than five. That's so amazing".
"Well he's a vampire so it's not that much shocking".
"I guess so. I know that he can use black magic as he casted an illusion on me, except for that which are the others?"
"Hmm the same as I have, except for light magic. He can use all four elemental magic".
"Wahhh that's amazing. Well I want to know my forms too".
"Ahh yes. I'll need a drop of you blood only a bit, if that's okay?".
"Ohh umm yeah! Let me just cut open a small wound on my finger....there!!"
"Ahh yes please apply it on the paper".
"Alright....there you go"!
"Good enough! Now we'll have to wait and see the colour it changes into".
Slowly the magic paper started to change from white colour. I'm so excited to see how many forms of magic I can use.
"Woah!! That's incredible."
"Huhh Cedric what does black colour mean". The magic paper turned into black colour. And Cedric on the other hand looked super surprised and astonished.
"Madam your outstanding".
"Huhh wha-what wait why?".
"You possess more than five magic forms as well".
"More than five!!!" I shouted."Is that even possible?".
"Yes, it sure is surprising. Though I've always felt your mana overflow, so I guess this was the reason".
"Well which forms do I possess?".
"Thatt I don't know?. We'll know after training".
"Huhh? After training."
"Ahh yes".
"Ohh then, shall we begain?".
"Yes! Let's start!
.....
"First Madam take a deep breath".
"Okayy...haaaaaa.....hoooooo. Done".
"Let's practise fire first. Hmmm I'm going to put this branch on fire. You need to prevent it from going out. How to do that? Simply empty your mind and solely focus on the fire. Raise your hand and think that your controlling it by using your hand. Try to gather some mana in your palm and point it in the direction your aiming, like the fire. If it keeps going for five minutes it means you possess fire form. If it doesn't that means you don't. The main thing is to focus. Now go ahead and try, take a deep breath first. And then focus
"Hmm got it!". I feel a bit nervous. It's okay you got it Celine."Haaaaa.....Hooooo..relax and focus". Gather mana in your palm. One....two.... three. Now focus on the fire and keep you mind empty. I raised my hand and focused on the fire.
Hmmm. It hasn't gone out yet. Madam is doing a good job focusing.
It's going pretty smoothly I guess. Let's keep focusing on it. Gather some mana again in your hand and now control the fire.
"Madam try to make it a big bigger".
"Alright". I need to make it bigger. Again gather mana in your palm and focus on the fire and..... . . .
BOOOOOOM!!!!
"Huhh wha-what happened. Why did it became so large, I only used a bit of my mana".
"Woahh hah impressive". I guess she does possess fire magic. That sure is one large fire. Well I need to stop it before it spreads.
SWISHHHH...
"Outstanding job Madam, you do possess fire magic".
"Huhh really haha I'm so happy".
"That was truly remarkable I have to admit. You might even exceed other powerful magic users".
"Hahah your flatter me. But that sure was a bit breath stealing".
"Haha well I guess we should stop for today. It's almost time for lunch, so shall we head back?".
"Ahh yes let's go"
Then me and Cedric walked back inside. I'm so happy that I succeeded. I'll need to practice a lot. I need to have more stamina and strength if I plan to escape from here.
"Oh by the way Cedric, can you do me a favor".
"Yes Madam, anything you want".
"Keep the number of magic forms a secret from Allen please. If he ask just tell him that I can use fire and air alright".
"Your secrets safe with me Madam".
"Haha thank you. I'm glad to have a big brother like you".
"I'm happy to know that".
And then we both returned to our rooms. Ahhhh that sure was a bit exhausting. Hmm I'll have lunch with Lucas. We haven't been spending time with each other much. We've almost been living here for a month yet the servants haven't open their heart yet. I'll go and check on Lucas I'm having a bad thought.
Knock!! Knock!!
"Ehh Madam your back from training".
"Ah yes Emily. I'm very sweaty please prepare a bath for me".
"Yes Madam. How did your training go?"
"It went pretty well".
"I'm glad to hear that. Ah yes the Crown Prince wanted to have lunch with you, I guess you'll reject the invite right?".
"Ahh yes, I'll be having lunch with Lucas".
"As you wish. The bathes ready".
And then I took a hot bath again. Ahhhh it was so cozy. I'm still in shock to know that I possess more than five forms of magic. Is it because of my father. People said that he was really strong. Or is it because of my biological mother, I've heard Catherine talk about her powers. I'm still confused. I've only seen my biological mother in pictures. She died while giving birth to me. But why? If she were alive would my live be different? Who knows. Even me and Lucas are step siblings but I love him more than anything and he does too. Back at home, he was the only one who treated me kindly even though he was only four hahaha. After the bath, I got dressed up and went towards Lucas's room to have lunch.
.....
"So your telling me that Celine won't have lunch with me either".
"Yes".
"Cedric isn't the Little Squirrel being stubborn".
"Perhaps not".
"What do you mean".
"Well it's a given after all what you did to her isn't something to be taken lightly".
"Cedric aren't you my loyal servent. How come you've changed".
"Your Highness, I'm doing this for your happiness".
"I'm inviting her because I know I lost my temper a bit. But Little Squirrel isn't coming".
"Well your the one inviting so you should be going to her."
"This is damn annoying".
"Your Highness. Madam is a good person. I hope you don't end up doing something that'll ruin both you and Madam".
"Hmmm, invite her for dinner. If she declines then I'll have no choice than to bring her myself".
"As you wish".
......
"Madam said she won't be having dinner with you as she's spending time with her brother".
