55 Silver Eyes

Ivan woke up early in the morning to train with his guards. While working out, he looked at the window where Angelica should be resting at. Even though he didn't want to his gaze kept on falling to her window where she should be resting at.

It was already the seventh time he looked at it before going back to swinging his sword with accuracy.

Even the soldiers looked at him weirdly and he could feel their gazes in him. He just ignored it and continued his focused actions.

But his thoughts occasionally wondered to what she was doing.

'Is she okay?'

Yesterday when he shared the full story of what happened and how the three were cursed. He could only decipher that she was shocked by the news.

After that she left and he knew he had to leave her alone to think about it.

He shook his head from the distraction and focused on training.

There time for training only lasted 2 hours before they all headed inside for a bath and then for breakfast.

But once again the Princess wasn't there. He could see the gloomy face of Felix and Fea as they were looking forward to the Princess being here. But sadly she wasn't.

He decided to look around for her but he knew it wasn't easy. She was an expertises magic and her level was the same as Travis's and Cathal. But with he also had confidence in himself as he wouldn't have lived this long of his magic been weak.

But for real?

He looked up at the tree and sighed. Using some magic he hopped onto each tree branch and stopped at the mediating woman. She sat crossed legs while a light magic barrier had surrounded her body.

She was really... an odd woman.

He sighed and looked at her calm face for a long time. He realized that the barrier wasn't simple either and he could see the sweat drops fall down her face.

But why was she trying so hard?

Ivan decided to sit near her and wait for her to break her focus meditation. He knew that he couldn't disturb her when she was using magic.

Half the day had past and she still didn't move from her spot. It seems that she was determined to break the barrier today no matter what.

He yawned and then saw the faint red. Ivan's eyes widened at the blood coming out of her mouth.

"Princess!" He called out but noticed that her eyes were open and looking at him.

'Such beautiful silver eyes..' he stared at them in admiration.

Bang! He fell back from the tree by the sudden force and frowned realizing that it was the Princess that attacked him first.

"What-" he dodged the attack once more and landed on the ground. He felt a sting on his cheek. He looked at the Angelica and noticed that she was shivering as if trying to hold herself back.

"Damn! I thought it was an enemy!! Why do you always scare people like that?! If I didn't change my magic last second your head would have fallen off!!" She scolded the man.

Ivan was taken back. Rubbing his head, he looked at her with a strange expression.

"Your eyes... their silver." He said.

Angelica right away closed her eyes and sat down on the ground with exasperation. This was a bad time to show him this.

She focused her attention on completing the magic she needed to absorb. But who knew it was so difficult?!

Grandmother wasn't lying when she said the last four seals were hard!!

She stayed still until she felt her bodies magic calm down, before opening her eyes to face the man who rudely disturbed her.

"Prince... what do you want?" She asked.

Ivan became a little sad not being able to see the silver eyes but he hid his expression expertly and sighed.

"You were gone the whole morning, of course people would be looking around for you."

"Huh?" Angelica looked to the sky and notice that it was past afternoon.

"Oh My, I didn't even notice. But either way I would be fine." She sighed.

She got up and started walking towards the mansion. Yesterday night she decided to break at least one of the seals since it was close to breaking anyway.

Now that she had broke the seal she noticed the flux of magic flowing through her whole body. She knew that if she was careful then most likely she would destroy any object that would face her.

That includes who she would talk and interact with.

Seems like she need to isolate herself to mend the magic flux that's currently running amok in her body.

She stopped her walking and thought hard about the places she could to. Vienna home? The Ice Zone? The Fairy Forest?

No! No! No! All three of those will probably be bad. She frowned and thought about a place we're she could relax and be alone.

Hot spring?

Now that wasn't a bad idea! But where exactly?! She hadn't been to hot spring in decades!

This was a problem, she might as well find Fea. He was great at locating things and he lived here for a long time.

She started walking once more and didn't stop until she made it back into the mansion. She decided to looked for Felix and Fea.

Ivan who was forgotten felt a bit annoyed he looked at the Princess who left and sighed in exasperation. He knew that she was anxious around him but it seriously needed to stop.

Otherwise they will eventually fall apart and maybe even their cooperation will be affected.

"Fea! Felix! Tell me a good hot spring around the kingdom!" She slammed the office door open and saw the two of them busy with work.

"Hot spring?" The both simultaneously asked.

"Yes. I need one to recover my body's strength." She said.

Felix brows frowned downwards and looked at her with confusion, "Teacher... your magic changed again. Did you break a seal that you always mentioned to us?"

"Yes I did. And that's why my magic is running around. See." She snapped her fingers and all of a sudden a huge pressure took over the room making the two men almost lose their breath.

It lasted 10 seconds and she controlled her magic to its cam state.

"See? That's why I need one right away. It doesn't matter where I just need one to release this energy."

Felix looked at Fea and both their eyes met. Fea cleared his throat and explained to her.

"We have a hot spring in the mansion grounds. If you want I can lead you their."

Angelica smiled at them softly and spoke in a doting tone, "The chance is prefect, I think once a control this power I'll help you. Let's go Fea."

She walked away saying her words as tinge of red appeared on her cheeks.
