Chapter 41: What’s Mine Is Yours
"Might I help you, my Lady?"
"It’s okay Olivia, I have got this covered," I said, scaling the shelves, or was I perhaps looking for sothing different, maybe it wasn’t obvious, this na Magnus, maybe it had sothing to do with the Warlocks.
"Warlocks" I murmured, maybe I should search for that instead.
Luckily the body of each shelf was engraved with their letters. I stopped right at letter W.
"There are so many," I said, staring at the wide range of books that have to do with warlocks, I just had to find the right one or anything.
I climbed the iron stairs that enabled
to reach the much taller shelves.
"My Lady please lem do that myself, you shouldn’t climb"
"Relax Olivia, I have done things much unladylike than this," I said with a smile against my lips, she wasn’t even aware I have hunted with my papa before, when mining work paid little we had to suffice with hunting, my biggest catch was a rabbit, poor thing... I didn’t like harming things, I was dreaded with what happened, but my papa told
what humans had to do to survive. I have never hunted again since that day.
My eyes spotted a book, it said ’Tales Of Warlocks Through Ti’, well that had a nice ring to it, I took it.
"I think I might have found what I need," I said, observing the brown-colored book, maybe within this I can find a aning to the na Magnus, Cedric was a warlock, after all, maybe it does have sothing with Cedric being a Warlock.
"Indulging yourself in reading, Wife?"
I froze at the sudden fortissimo voice that could only belong to Cedric. In panic I turned on my gown, my anxiety was getting to
again, and I just had to be clumsy.
"MY LADY!"
The only sound I heard was Olivia’s panic voice until I realized I was actually falling. I squealed knowing I would hit the ground. I montarily shut my eyes close but then I felt strong arms catch .
I felt an intense stare burn on my face, forcing my eyes to open, I t with one of my favorite colors of green eyes staring right back at .
Cedric had caught , I was within his arms, locked there in place, my body still shook from the fear of falling that high.
"Can you be so clumsy?" he said in an angry tone that made my heart skip a bit, not by fear but by the feeling that he was scared for my sake.
"I-I" I stamred. I didn’t even know the right words to say at this point, his looks weren’t pleased with all, like I just made a foolish act that almost cost
my life, yes I did, and how silly of .
"I have a library attendant that would suit all your needs, you need not climb those stairs again, do I make myself clear?"
I gulped, his voice was hard and fierce like a very deep warning, that if disobeyed I will really get a strong consequence for it.
I just gave a nod like a child, cause that’s exactly how I felt right now, like a child who did sothing wrong.
"C-Could you let
down now?" I asked politely not to make him angrier than he was right now.
He did, as my feet finally t the floor, but he still held onto , I was unable to look him in the eyes, I could feel his gaze on , I couldn’t take it anymore as I forced my eyes on him.
"T-Thank you"
His face cald a bit at my words, his gaze drift to the book I held.
"I-I will return it, I shouldn’t have been here in the first place" I said in an attempt to return it.
"What’s mine is yours"
His words made my heart skip a beat, it sent a feeling to my body I couldn’t explain but I knew it ward my heart, because I could feel the truth within them, odd it was coming from a man like him.
He lets go of waist before walking away, his loud footsteps retreating.
I gave off a breath like I was holding it for long.
"My lady are you alright? I was so scared, I thought..." Olivia began almost teary.
"I’m okay Olivia there’s no need to worry" I assured her, I didn’t want her to cry I would feel bad if she did because it was my fault, I didn’t listen to her.
She gave a nod.
"Thank the god’s Lord Cedric caught you, it would have ended so bad"
Yes, Cedric saved , I turned my gaze to the path he exited from, a smile found my lips.
☆☆☆
I placed the book on my table ready to open it, the moonlight drifted in through the windows of my Chambers, I turned to it, my silver hair glowing, it was a full moon.
"A full moon," I said, this was the first since Cora’s vision, one more to go, a day she told
to beware.
I turned to the book, that was for later to think about, right now I have so discovery to make. I opened the book flipping the pages. ’Tales Of Warlocks Through Ti’ this book was called and exactly the contents it had, several nas of powerful warlocks that have lived through ti, there were so many, countless of them each unique in their own way, and special in their own foundation.
It was said their spirits remained eternal sotis, like reincarnation? I suppose that was what it ant.
f??eewe??n??ve??
My eyes caught a word, ’but not all could rival the power of one?’ What does that an? I was getting close and I could feel it.
I flipped more pages in hopes of finding that one na I was looking for and then I did, The warlock that was set aside from other powerful warlocks, the one their powers never rivaled with, said to be the source of dark magic and its creator, the very founder of it, said to have walked this earth for centuries until his untily demise, the oldest of them all.
"Magnus" the mont I mouthed those words the air instantly beca chilly, a whistle of it blew in as the candles lit went off from the re breeze.
