Ivan went and found Fea returning back from the garden pathway. He rushed right past him and walked towards the same direction.
Fea: "....." He only felt a breeze go past him and noticed that the Duke was rushing away to some place when he turned around.
The Ice Tiger sighed, and went back into the mansion to look for his master. After escorting Angelica to the hot spring, he decided to report back to Felix.
He had already made his way down to the study room and knocked the door. He heard the flair calling and opened the door of the study to see Felix writing on the paper.
"Master! How many times have we told you not to use your magic! Seriously!!" Fea was frustrated since he never listened.
Felix used his magic to support his hand and arms in working. It was high skilled magic that involved concentrating to the fingertips movement to his shoulder. Though there was no harm, Fea and the other animals worried for his health.
"Fea... I'm not in danger and this is little stuff. More importantly did you show Teacher the spring?"
Fea nodded and said, "Yes. I lead her to the spring. She said thanks and then entered."
-Flashback-
"This is the spring?" Angelica looked at the area with awe. It was hot spring that was hidden in a cave with a barrier. When they entered the barrier was lifted and voila! A beautiful hot spring showed itself.
"Oh..?" She touched the water and noticed her magic was canceled.
"This is?" She turned to Fea and he couldn't explain it either. Once you touch the water you become like a normal person and can't use magic when in contact with the water.
"Sorry, but we could understand it either. But we assure you that your safe. No one comes here."
"Dangerous water but limited supply. If I have the chance I'll explore it next time. Anyway I'll be here for the whole night."
"Whole night?" Fea blinked and looked ya her confused. "Teacher why?"
"Silly, I broke my seal. I'm going to shift between mediating and the hot spring. Since it even cancels out magic I'm scared for my seals, but I'm confidently that this seal won't break at all unless I break it." Angelica said.
"Also tell the crybaby, that he shouldn't use his magic to help his arm in work." She then shooed him out and left to enjoy the hot spring.
- Present -
"So that's what happened." Felix said.
And with that he picked up another paper which made Fea broke out in sweat and pulled away all the documents that we're currently on his desk.
"But-"
"No. Teacher told me to not let you move your muscles using magic. Even if you don't listen to me, you should listen to an expert!" Fea eyes started glowing meaning he was completely serious.
Felix looked at him for 2 ish minutes and gave up. Fea swiftly put the papers on the desk and waited for any other orders from Felix.
"Where's the Duke?" Felix finally asked since.
Fea's brows furrowed and remembered that the Duke flew right past him before he could ask. He wasn't sure but he was heading towards the garden that the magic animals usually play in.
"He might be out for a stroll in the garden?" Fea said.
"Why did that come out as a question?" With a confused face he looked at Fea who was also at a lost with words.
"Nevemind. The Duke is a strange man, but he's very strong and cunning. He would be fine even if we left him with a dozen enemies." Felix yawned and decided to end this talk and go rest.

Angelica pulled out a few things from her pouch. One was a vial and the other was a bandage. She took off her dress and left her two piece undergarments on.
Touching her shoulder she frown from the pain. She thought that it was healed but why is it still throbbing?
1 month and a week. The times was short but with her medicine skills this wound should be as good as new. Yet what exactly is wrong with it?
The fresh scar remained and she pressed her wound a few times to only frown even more. She pulled out the bandage and wrapped it around her shoulder and finally felt a little assured.
She didn't know why but she felt that if she don't pay attention to it-
-She might die.
"What a troublesome poison you are? If it was an ordinary being that wound have completely died from blood loss. If I find you creator I'll will make sure they gravels to the ground beneath my heel. I don't like being an experiment!" She angrily grumbled.
She put her stuff away from the water and decided to relax her angry thought by enjoying the water. She must hand it to Felix. He found a very good place.
Aqua blue water that was clear and warm. Small water plants that surround the pool and a natural light the illuminated the pool.
She touched the water with her hands and played with it. She laughed finding it all so new. She tried snapping her fingers but her magic really didn't come!
"What a rare thing you are!" The vial she had kept out, was dipped into the water and she took a little sample.
"You my dear shall come in handy soon." She smiled and went to put vial with her belongings.
She returned to the spring and finally went in. She quietly moaned from the heat and stretched her aching back and muscles. She dipped herself fully into the water for a few seconds and then back up to the surface.
She her eyes were closed she didn't see the intruder who rudely appeared.
"Ahh! This is great! Only if my shoulder didn't hurt it would even be better." She grumbled.
"Princess!!" A voice yelled and she turned around in shock and-
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" The loud scream shook the room.
Angelica covered her body with her hands and tired to use her magic to attack this damn man.
But it only failed too!!
"I KNEW IT!! YOUR A PERVERT!!" She yelled in dismay.
