Spell book

They both stared at each other for some moments waiting for someone to strike.

"Go on Lina, attack!" Gina fired "what don't you do it?" Lina fired back "alright witch, you asked for this" Gina said and suddenly attacked.

Lina staggered at her {Gina} first attack, it took a while for Lina to gain her ground because Gina didn't give her space to do so, she {Gina} was doing all the attacking while Lina was defending.

Lina had had enough of her attacks and turned the table around, Lina was now the one attacking while Gina defending. Gina had a poor defending skills but a good attacking skill.

Peres who was seated next to Lyle had a pit in his stomach, this was the first time his wife; Gina had a serious fight, he personally trained her, he didn't allow anyone fight against her. Since he cared about her so much he never took any of their fight so serious, in fact to Lyle it was more like a child's play.

"I will have to attack" Peres was pissed off "no Peres, I'm watching their skills and abilities for the coming battle, it is good to know that your lovely wife don't know how to defend, how can a wife of the great lord Peres don't know how to defend" Lyle spoke with heavy sarcasm,

Peres was quiet, he wasn't ready for an unnecessary fight with Lyle especially when his wife is getting beaten by Lina.

Lina was having fun giving Gina a hard time, she attacked and each time she did, she never missed, Lina was about to strike again but a heavy wind blew her ground causing her back to hit against the wall.

Wait a minute! It wasn't wind, it was Peres who was pinning her down to the wall not giving her space to breath. Lina looked into his eyes, they were dark brown, unusual! Lina gulped in as she tried to break free from his grip but instead the grip got tighter

"Peres!" Gina yelled as she stood up and ran to stop Peres from killing her completely, "Peres, let go" Lyle said as he leapt towards his direction "go! Never! He has to tell me why he interrupted my fight, I never asked for his help" Gina continued to yell.

Lyle hissed and walked to her direction, when he got to where she was standing he whispered into her ears "Peres is pissed off, he could harm anyone even you"

Leaping away with Peres, Gina was alone with Lina who was seriously in pain, she groaned as Gina tried to make her stand "my leg!" Lina screamed "what is wrong with your leg?" Asked Gina who seemed confused, she was just a mere human

"Maids!" Gina screamed to get her attention, two maids appeared in her front "please, take her to her room" "yes my lady" they replied and they hijacked her to her room.

"I know that royal witches have the ability to heal themselves and you are a royal witch, right?" Gina asked the moment they entered inside Lina's room "yes" "so why don't you heal yourself?"

"I'm sorry but I can't perform any spell but that of the disguise which I sneaked on someone to learn it" "you are a witch that can't perform spells, magic?" "There is more to spells or what humans know has magic" "oh! I will get you your maids" Gina volunteered "and I'm sorry about what my husband did to you" "there is no much problem" Lina said with a smile.

"Naomi, Becky, how are you guys doing?" "My princess, you are hurt" Naomi stated "it real bad" Becky added as they viewed her dislocated ankle "it is not that bad" "it is" Becky said and one could see she fuming with anger

"My princess, witches have the ability to heal themselves" Becky pouted out "yes, it is restricted to only the royals" "aren't you a royal?" "Yes I'm but I can't perform the spell, as a matter of fact I can't perform any spell" this statement made the two maids stand still

"Why?" Becky managed to speak "nobody taught me" "there is a spell book in prince Lyle room" Becky blurted out "what? What is a demon doing with a spell book?" "I don't know my princess but that spell book means a whole lot to him" Naomi added "Becky check if Lyle or Peres is home" Lina ordered "yes my princess" Becky replied without hesitation and left.

"My princess he is home but is occupied with the general; Lucian" Becky replied the moment she was done with her investigation "well their presence will be a hindrance and a threat to my plan but since he is occupied we still have hope" Lina said "my princess what plan?" Asked Naomi "stealing the spell book" Lina replied with a smirk "I don't think it is a good idea my princess" Naomi argued "well I love her plan so my princess what is the plan?" Becky reprimanded "I still don't accept the thought of going into prince Lyle's room" Naomi continued "come on Naomi, don't be a vibe killer" Lina chipped in

"Okay! Here is the plan of stealing the spell book, since Naomi is a weakling her duty is to watch out while Becky will have to go into his room to search for the spell book, who is with me?" Lina asked and only Becky raised her hand while Naomi had her hands folded at her chest

"I never knew that maids nowadays seem to go against the rules that governs the castle" Gina's voice filled the air and everyone stiffened "how could you Becky?" Gina continued as she walked inside "why Naomi?" Gina spoke as her eyes met Lina who had her shoulders high up "if you are going to blame anyone I think it is me" Lina said. Gina stood as she gave them a deadly stare.

"What is my role in the plan?" Gina asked giggling making Lina's shoulders drop as everyone became relieved. "You know that a maid is assigned to a particular duty, if anyone sees any of you in his room it will look suspicious" Gina contributed surprising everyone.

"Gina I think your duty is to go into his room, it would look less suspicious" Lina added "alright, is everyone ready for the execution" Gina asked "I'm still not in support of this" Naomi queried.

Becky and Naomi watched out while Gina entered Lyle's room and started searching, Gina searched everywhere but no clue of the spell book, finally she found a shelf near the wardrobe which was padlocked "fuck!" Gina cursed as she went to his table and saw a bunch of keys lying on the table. She picked them and started to try them with the padlock of the shelf. Luckily, her fourth try was the key.

She opened it and saw a heavy looking book lying inside, it was dusty. Wiping the dust away with her hands she saw the inscription 'spell book' on the hard cover "this must be it" she muttered and was about to carry it when she heard a familiar voice

"What the hell are you doing here?"
