"Mana. it's an energy created by all things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the world together. Controlling it is the basic of a magician's power. "

"...That's borderline illegal? or not..."

Still, it should be in the best interest to not mention this again.

"...What're you even talking about"

"Just some familiar word i have seen."

Well, not like i care about it.

Right now, i'm in the library locate on the south's side royal's castle.

Above, a glass dome appear, letting the warm light shine through the circular table , surrounded by the oak-coloured bookcases spread out from the middle. On the dome surface, picture of many angels figured look like it's giving blessing through the light.

That's kinda ironic, now that you think about it.

By the way, in there, i was reading numerous amount of books, and Miharu was there to help picking out the materials.

Mostly material about magic. You got to read about this in a fantasy after all.

"By the way, here is the book you need."

"My, thank you."

"..."

"Hm, why are you sulking? Could it be because of that?"

"Isn't it obvi..."

At that moment, the maids, who were in the middle of their routine, came passing by. With trained movement, they were practically silent as not even a scrubble of their French maid-like outfit was heard.

Unfortunately, Miharu noticed them in time. She then activated her "Angel Mode", excluding a faint golden aura carrying a holy light (and a slight irritation for me) to the surrounding, looking like she's kindly teaching me. The maid turned to look in admiration, as they continue to walk off into the distance.

After that, Miharu's face instantly redden like a tomato. Lucky.

"Don't you dare laugh!"

"Aw, can i just smile warmly though? You look so cute when you blushed."

"Arg... why did you force me to act like that ! All of my dark history just rising up to my face all over again."

"...Cuz it funny?"

"More over, why did you force me to tell that lie back there!"

"...But it not really a lie, isn't it?"

"Well..."

"E-Excuse me."

Coming from the main door, a person come in with a regal manner.

This proud-looking girl has beady brown eyes that are like two acorns. Her fine, straight, black hair is neck-length and is worn in a dignified style. She has a busty build. Her skin is light-colored. She has thin eyebrows. Her wardrobe is dignified, like what a princess would wear.

Because she is a princess.

"Miss Maribel and Lady Mihr, your request have been completed."

Holding back her nervousness, she began to guide us through the castle to a certain place.

As for how this happen....

Here is the quick continuation of the last chapter (event) !
