STRANGE HOUSE

"Young lord, who is this young miss?" the masked man responded he didn't know however she was in difficulty, he couldn't leave her alone. Then asked his attendants to arrange a room for her to rest and also get something light to eat with that mysterious man who disappeared toward the master bedroom.

5 hours later Kayla hears someone talking in a very low mesmerize voice. A throbbing discomfort Kayla wakes up and notices herself in an extraordinary canopy the tension grows more within her just then a handsome man with golden hair and reddish eyes comes forward and lean-to checks my temperature. I notice we are close enough to kiss. I backed away then I heard a chuckle, and he said: "don't worry I won't force anyone to kiss me, I was going to check your health."

My face turns red. "Ahem" waited for my best composure I turn to face him and asked him what happened?. He examined me and introduced himself. " Sorry for my rudeness, — elegantly bent, I'm Mateo Ruiz. We meet in the auction house yesterday." after that, I gave my introduction. After a moment I recognized Ruiz as the royal name. The Novus kingdom! I tried to pay my respects but body fatigue is more serious than I thought. Seeing me getting timid Mateo just smiled — "don't need to bend. I didn't meet you as a prince of Novus kingdom plus I'm expecting we will be buddies." watching friendly Mateo the anxiety on my shoulders disappeared.

Mateo started to explain what happened yesterday. Well, I do remember slightly... I went to collect the bluestone then suddenly blue light engulfed me and I passed out. That wasn't the whole story "Kayla you have an enormous amount of MANA which was sealed inside you" after hearing that I gave him a puzzled look then Mateo proceeds the conversation "judging from your expression you seem unaware of this.". I asked him how am I using MANA when it's sealed. He flicked my forehead "ow that hurts — I said". Then he continued, and he asked me not to interrupt him while taking something he will forget what he was saying earlier.

As I was born with such enormous MANA and yet to be perfectly controlled is difficult and it's risky for the wielder since I don't when it will burst out. But the seal was broken when I accepted the bluestone. After hearing so much information about me which I wasn't aware of it myself... I sigh. Mateo pats my head saying "don't make that face. You can start controlling the magic from now. Plus I'll— ..." just then my stomach growls Mateo smirked "before we proceed we need to tranquilize down the bear inside your tummy." hearing him say that way made my face blush and it looked like a tomato "how rude!! Plus it...can't be helped I haven't had anything since yesterday... — I said in a muffled sound."

Mateo laughs and ordered some food. The spread full of favored bread, cherry tart, fruit smoothie, and some dessert which made my eyes twinkle. Thanked him with my earnestness and begins to eat. After few moments I noticed someone gaze "gulps... want some. — I asked" he just answered that I looked like a squirrel filling their pudgy cheeks. With all the embarrassing look remained to eat. After the wonderful meal. I thank him again then marched toward the door.

Mateo pulled my hand "Hey!! Did you forget the sole purpose of the earlier conversation" I just replied to him "hee tee sorry all the food in my tummy made me sleepy" he flicked my forehead then called me gluten and made me sit in a chair? The discussion continued for few hours. We made a promise that we will meet twice a week. Mateo will help me control my MANA and introduce me to his master to teach me both attack spells and defense spells.

We parted our way later that evening. By the time I reached home, it was already dark. In the middle of my house saw a physique sitting in a lounge with a dangerous look which scared the crap out of me and realized that I wasn't home yesterday. "Dear father....what are you doing here without sleeping — I asked him." Will pinch my ear shouting how worried he was suddenly I felt ashamed how I let the only person who cared me more than anyone worried like that. As I went to apologize to him he stops and looked at my eyes and sighed.

This was the first time Will being awkward he stated "you...came to know...about your MANA right...?" hearing him talking about it made me stiffen all I could do is nod. Then I noticed Will's eyes were retracting and I could hear a muffled voice saying let's talk day time for now take a rest.
