Chapter 221

The door to our lesson room opened, and Mistress walked in.

"Welcome mistress", Happy although surprised at her impromptu visit, still managed to bow to her when she walked in, but the same can't be said of me.

Seeing the mistress froze me in place, my body too immobile to move, my heart beating miles a minute.

She smiles at me, "how's your magic class going Prince Buchim?"

I wanted a bad to throttle her to the floor and show her exactly what a prince of Ugali is capable of, but I held myself, and instead I answered, "it's going as awesome as I was promised in my admission form. Happy's the best teacher any boy can ever wish for".

Even without looking at Happy, I know he's currently in cloud 90 where he's dancing to the beat of a music he alone hears.

"Thank you high prince for your kind words", he bows low, "your lowly servant is glad of your kind words towards him".

Mistress still have that sick smile on her face, "how far are you in your magic unleashing?".

"I've learnt the soul magic and the heartbeat reading", I bowed( against my will) lowly as I said those words.

She stayed silent for a minute before speaking, "your heart proves your words to be true", she looks at Happy, "am confident you will keep up the good work wouldn't you?".

He nods, " I will serve the mistress and thus academy to the best of my abilities. I will make sure I do thee words assigned to me, and help the high prince regain his locked powers".

" Good", she says before proceeding to take a seat, " you can proceed with whatever you were doing before I came in here. I hope am not imposing on you two?", she raises a brow as if challenging us to say words contrary to hers.

Happy shakes his head, "you're not imposing on us Mistress, your presence is most welcome".

I really did applaud Happy for his mastery in lying. I know his words to be lies, yet Mistress didn't call him out on that lie.

"Where are the vampire and werewolf that always seems to follow you everywhere you go?", she asked all of a sudden.

I forced a smile, "the decided it's time to actually try and find the halves souls", it's not a lie if that's exactly what they told me.

She nods, "you can proceed with your class" 

"Close your eyes, envision a bright swirling color", Happy says instead of telling me to envision a bright light like he've always done.

"Make sure to allow the colors to swirl, the sould magic should ba allowed to do its job properly", I feel his arms on my shoulders.

"Relax and let the colors alone do the job".

All through the lessons, I can't seem to actually relax, Mistress's eyes trained on me made absolutely sure of that.

I wasn't the only one on edge, Happy also was on edge, and his deep exhale when she left is enough to make me absolutely sure he wasn't in his comfort zone, with the mistress in the same room with us.
