Belladonna/n.s

Breaking and Entering

Chapter 13. Breaking and Entering
Q: As if now what are your thoughts or theories on her parents deaths??

After a long week of training Belladonna finally got the okay that she was done with it when Nozel sent another Knight to inform her that she it was no longer her primary focus. Her last few days were pretty repetitive; get up do a morning jog, eat breakfast, stretch, combat train, magic training, black out, wake up and eat, stretch, weapon training, and lastly endurance training.

And when she finished she'd wash up and do some stretches to ease her muscles before going to  eat dinner and go to sleep. She didn't get to see Nebra or Solid for her trying period since her meal schedule was an hour earlier but she didn't mind. It was peaceful eating alone.

And of course the blacking out part wasn't something to look forward to but she stayed determined to build up her body to handle her mana. She put in plenty of thought as to why she blacked out on her group mission. And with her previous knowledge about mana and health from her brother's medical books she used to read, the explanation she came up with is that her body can't handle the extra mana it absorbs from the Forbidden Forest.

Even though Belladonna was told she didn't have to train anymore, she still got up early since she's had some time to get used to the schedule so it was now no trouble for her. Looking back at her last few days, she's learned quite a lot. In fact she feels lucky at the fact she was able to come back from her last two missions with as little injury. All that she had going for herself was her speed and spells honestly.

Sure prior to becoming a knight she would practice and play around with her spells and weapons she was able to conjure but she didn't really know how to use a sword. Bella used to just swing hard and fast, but her trainer taught her proper technique and sword ettiequte. So now Belladonna is eager for her next mission but her training has barley finished so she's ready to wait some time before her next one.

The sun had risen nearly an hour ago so it was around seven in the morning. Bella planned to bathe before heading out so she sat at her desk brushing through her hair. She stopped at every tangle and knot in her hair to nimbly unravel them, it took time but not to much. She watched her movements in the mirror in front of her.

'Hmm. My hairs grown a little since the last time I noticed.' Her hair strands straitened out as the brush ran through them, pulling them to their fullest length which almost reached to the bottom of her breast before her hair bounced back up to it's loose curls, now resting three inches below her collar bone.

She quickly finished up and went to grab some clothes for after her bath; undergarments, a flowy mid calf black skirt, and a pale green loose button up, she also grabbed some black slip on black shoes.

Belladonna left her room with her clothed folded and tucking in her arms, she went to the women's bath. Steam instantly warmed her skin as she entered, she removed her bracelet her siblings gifted her and left her clothes on a bench and began to undress and discard her old clothing. As she removed her top, she moved her fingers to graze her side then up to her shoulder blade, where she was previously injured. But after Nozel had her healed in his office, she couldn't find a single bruise, scratch, nor a scar.

After exiting the washroom Belladonna made her way back to her room, her hair still damp and leaving small droplets on her top. She entered her room and left the door open, she only needed a few things. She grabbed her bag from the floor by her bed, and she grabbed her bottle of ink at her desk. She made sure it was sealed tightly before putting it in her bag.

She glanced at her robe that hung on her chair but decided to leave it. Bella left and shut her door. Slowly she went down the stairs as she mentally decided what she wanted to do for the day. She didn't have many options, but to feed her shopping addiction.
