Chapter 11

Magic comes within the soul of the person, it starts with the will of the person to live, that spark that allows magic to form

Reillana currently don't have any magic, and I need to learn it, afterall, if the Imperial family is my enemy, they're from the bloodline of the Founder of Magic.

I went into the library, taking out a book of Magic, Magical Power, Magic techniques, Magical bloodlines, Magic skills

"Magic comes from within.. the soul."

Now that I think about it, My magic appears the day I had my first mission, probably because that was my first time in face of real danger

I sat, the silence of the library helping me focus, I close my eyes, Magic comes from within...

I visualize Reillana's heart, the spark.. find the spark..

Her heart was cold, no light is shining nor standing out, where.. where is it...

I gasp softly, Reillana's thoughts and skills strings are tangled, like she supressed everything.. covering the spark that lies within

That's when it click

"Father! Father!!" Reillana screams, she was just young, around six or seven?

She was running, her knees bloody "Father!!" She screams again

Why is she in the palace?

She gasps softly, seeing her father's figure

"Father! Jerome pushed me! I- i-"

"Oh my, those two are having a quarrel" The Empress chuckles

"it's just a friendly play with two future lovers, they'll get along." The Duke chuckles

As the Empress left with Jerome, The Duke turned to his now crying daughter before pulling her by the arm aggressively

"Father?"

"How long will you be such an embarassment, Reillana?!" He scolded, his grip on her arm tightening

"But Pa! I was in danger I almost hit my head in a sharp thi--"

"Reillana Alexandra Millaber!"

She flinches, Her father raising his hand to hit her, She felt her head turn, a stinging pain on her cheek as her mouth drew blood, she was finally released by the Duke

She sat on the floor, holding her cheek, her eyes widen, all the colors dissapearing as her eyes keep on widening, she was on a state of shock

"Stop embarassing me and just follow my orders. If I say play with the prince, whatever he do, will come out as playing." He glares

"It's for your own good."

Reillana kept on staring at the ground, a naive girl with no path of correct and wrong could only rely on her father's word.

"Will you finally.. love me then, Father?"

"Obey me and I shall do."

My eyes open, I was sweating and my heartbeat was fast

"Haah.. haah.." I breathe

At this rate she's just a magicless girl in a magic Empire, I have to awaken her.
