she's gone now

"Oo ijekiel I think my head is hurting again~" Lucas sarcastically commented in his new room.

"Did you just call me ijekiel?"

"I didn't what are you talking about, whitey?"

Ijekiel just rolled his eyes, "anyhow, if you're fine I'll be leaving"
"No, grab me that book" Lucas pointed to the bookshelf.

Ijekiel knew he wouldn't be able to leave the room unless he helps Lucas out. he grabbed the book and handed it over to lucas, "there. That's the problem, whitey." Lucas said "You're too polite and let someone take advantage of you." Lucas explains.

Ijekiel sat down on Lucas's bed, thinking that Lucas might be right. "Well.. I can't tell it by myself"

Lucas sighed, "hmm..just think of it like this", Lucas slanted towards ijekiel again, "she trusted you to rule obelia, she trusted you with her mana" Lucas whispered, "you wouldn't want to waste that, don't you?"

"Dude didn't even grab me the right book.." Lucas mumbles

Ijekiel glanced at lucas, thinking about what he just said, "that's right.." Ijekiel thought.
"Yeah.. My main priority was to repay her kindness from the start..".

Lucas smiled, "well then, let's go to somewhere we can train your mana."

Ijekiel stood up energetically, "I know where. Follow me" He commanded.

[Time skip]

Lucas stepped on a garden behind the estate that he never seen before, though it does seem kinda familiar.. Well he never roamed around the estate that often anyway.

"Do you recognize this place?" Ijekiel asked, "this is where I first met her.." He continued, it was kinda saddening, but athanasia would obviously not let that happen.

"Till now I wonder where that lady angel came from, I still visit this place often."

Lucas looked around, "oh!"
"Yeah I remember, I was the one who sent her here back then!" Lucas cheerfully tells ijekiel

"..oh" That was far from what ijekiel predicted, but at least now he knew where athanasia came from. "then why'd you sent her here in the first place"

"She wanted to make friends, of course" Lucas looked at ijekiel with a blank expression. "Alright! Change the topic," Lucas stood up. "Right, of course." Ijekiel followed.

"First.. Teleportation"
"I already mastered that."
"Check. Second, item duplication"
"I know that."
"Check.. Theeen invisibility?"
"..sorta...it often wear off after 8 seconds.."
"Alright. What about spawning weapons?"
"Weapons..? They don't teach us that at school.."
"Haa.. I knew we couldn't rely on public education system nowadays. Alright we'll get started on them first."

Lucas gave ijekiel a book, one that he never seen before. There were a lot of hand written begginer and advanced spells inside it, as well as drawn on images on how to do it.
"I thought you're going to teach me up front, but this'll work. Where'd you get it?"

Lucas smirked, "I wrote it myself, of course!" He proudly told ijekiel.

Ijekiel would normally get annoyed at him bragging, but this time he was pleased that Lucas actually wants to teach him. "Perhaps I can call myself lucky. You really can do anything, huh?"

Lucas smiled at the silver haired as he liked being called useful by someone. "There's nothing in this world that I can't do." He bragged. Ijekiel chuckled, "well I better get training."

"Yeah go on, whitey. I'm gonna look into this painting from that chimera's room. Ijekiel nodded then walked to the middle of the garden.

Lucas pulled out the small painting, he pulled apart the frame, then tried breaking it just in case. He took out the back side, then there was a folded pink paper inside of it. He took it out and unfolds the paper, it says..

'poissen mmyslef sso hsi mgstyy can blaem it on hre ndd ght rid of tht wenhc, nnd I bc0mE croqn prnccss mrriet to izzekiyl.'
(Poison myself so his majesty can blame it on her and get rid of that wench, and I become crowned princess married to ijekiel)

Lucas sat there on the grass in disbelief, it was all a set up by that chimera after all. The proof Lucas brought last time was about the chimera's aunt and not her.
He was furious there, "that bastard.." Lucas mumbled. She was the one responsible for the death of athanasia.

"Hey Lucas! Can you help me out?" Ijekiel called out. Lucas tried to calm himself down, he stood up and walked to ijekiel.

".. If I couldn't save her... Then I should at least save him." Lucas mumbled again walking to ijekiel

Ijekiel looked at Lucas and noticed something was wrong, "is there something wrong?" He asked.

"... No it's alright, are you having trouble with one of the spell?" Lucas refused to answer ijekiel question.

Ijekiel was still unsure if he's alright, but he reckon that Lucas just needs some time. "Well.. I'm having trouble with the weapons, I'm worried it'll stab me somehow" He said.

"Hmm right. My main isn't a sword, but I'll use it as an example."
Then Lucas stretched his arm beside ijekiel's neck, and a sudden bow appeared, with the string nearly touching ijekiel's neck.

Lucas vanished the bow in a flash "Just imagine where you want your sword is, but a slight distraction can easily change the direction of the sword." He explained.

Ijekiel nodded and turned forward, he streched out his arm ready to spawn in his sword. His hands were shaking a lot, when he notices it he set his hand down again, "actually, I don't think my main should be a sword.." He told Lucas, "my hands often get tremors when I'm nervous.."

Lucas thought for a second, there's honestly no other good weapons instead of a sword and bow. "Well from my experience, tremors doesn't really effect any of your spells, but if it's serious I can steal some medications."

"Steal? Yeah no, I guess I'll be fine. Let me try it first though!"
Lucas backed away, since that what ijekiel wants.

Ijekiel stood there, focusing. But after a few seconds the sword he wanted appears where he wanted it to be.
Though the method does look simple to everyone else, ijekiel was proud of himself for once.

Lucas on the other side clapped 3 times, "what did I told you, whitey?"

Ijekiel smiled happily, but then that quickly wore off when someone called from the distance.
