"Then I guess I will talk to mom first..." It was finally ti for to speak to Ruth about my ability to use black magic. Sothing the Holy Church of Seil would kill a person for being able to do. I hoped Ruth may be able to help on what to do about this since my magic at that ti responded to my thoughts without even trying to cast anything.
I didn't want to disturb Able about this, so I went to find Ruth on my own. Ruth as usual was sitting in a side room sipping on tea. I wondered what exactly it was that she did all day. Upon seeing her face lit up. "Rei! Dear, co sit with !"
I smiled and walked in and sat in the chair across from her. She gave a sly look as she asked: "Did you sleep well last night? I heard both Able and Alissa slept in your room last night."
"Sohow I was able to. But the situation was very awkward. Mom, I have sothing to discuss with you." I said, quickly changing the topic.
"Oh? What is it?" Ruth asked, curiosity written all over her face.
"You see this happened." I explained to Ruth about everything that happened. As I did, I watched her expressions carefully. I wondered how she would react but the entire ti she did not say a word, and her expression did not change once.
"There is nothing to worry about dear. If word did get out that you could cast black magic the church wouldn't dare to move against you because I would destroy them." Ruth said with a smile before turning to Fey her maid and nodding her head. The next thing I knew Fey led a few of the other maids in the room out. From that day on I do not think I ever saw them again.
"What should I do about accidentally casting it again? I an at that ti I only thought about how great it would be to summon sothing to fight for ." My main worry was accidentally casting it while in front of many. Marsil and Sam were okay since they were sworn to secrecy, but if it happened in the city in front of many there is no way Able would be able to control everyone's mouth.
"You will be fine. I will talk with your master and explain things to him. Felix is on the strange side but he is a very good master. I hope you will learn a lot from him. I will have him teach you the proper way to suppress your magic. Are you planning to leave any ti soon for another guild request?" Ruth asked. She still had the sa kind smile she always had when looking at . This made feel relieved and warm inside that Ruth cared so much for .
"No, I planned to ask Master to help train since I need to learn how to cast area of effect attacks without hitting my party mbers." I said. I really needed more control over my magic. I could easily take out a city if I tried hard enough but I was no good at limiting who would be affected by it unless they basically stood on top of .
"Good, I am glad you have a good head on your shoulders. By the way, Alissa's parents will be coming for dinner tonight so be prepared. I had contacted them this morning to let them know that you would be taking her in as a concubine and prepared a dowry, to send over." Ruth suddenly hit with another bomb. Now after feeling relieved I was nervous all over again!
I guess Ruth realized this because she started to chuckle. "Rei, relax. There is no way they will not accept the fact that Alissa is now your concubine. I an, if you are Able's fiancee and they do not find you good enough for their own daughter, are they not saying that my son has bad eyes?"
I now realized that Ruth was one of those who defended their family no matter what, whether they were right or wrong. But I still felt a little worried. I an this was basically Alissa coming out and telling her parents: "Hey mom, dad, I am a lesbian! And it is all because of this girl over here!" Would this not be a nerve racking experience for the both of us. I can hear the thoughts they do not speak out loud already. "Damn slut, hoodwinked our daughter into liking the sa sex. On top of that, she was only made a concubine!" Yeah, I can already feel their judging eyes trying to pierce my soul Oh crap, I am getting really nervous.
Ruth let out a sigh and got up from her chair. She walked over to and knelt down next to and pulled into a hug. "I know you still find the situation strange and that you basically made a decision based on trying to keep from hurting Alissa. But I think you made the right choice. Rei, your heart is kind and you will sacrifice a lot for your friends. Just be yourself and I am sure they will see that you are a good girl."
"Mm..." Ruth brought tears to my eyes. It was true that I took Alissa in as a concubine in order to not hurt her anymore. I was willing to beco a bisexual for her. And I did this because Alissa was the sa as Able, they both loved very much and I will do my best to not let them down.
