Silalynn Silva, the 4th child of the Royal House of Silva. She was given a perfect life from the start since she was born as royalty, at least that's what most people think.
Born with a incurable sickness, Silalynn has a physically weak body which m...
Silalynn stayed in Hage Village for the next week and in that time she decided to help a Blacksmith in his shop. Technically speaking, he was a retired Magic Knight who used his magic as a sword and then decided to make living forging swords, what can I say, man has an obsession with swords. During her time here she learned more about Nightingale and their magic, but that was just theory she couldn't apply it without being in jeopardy of someone finding out what she was doing. But she wasn't able to gather the courage to visit Lydia's grave. Or perhaps she knew she failed Lydia and didn't deserve to visit her grave. Either way, she was being a coward. It seems that Lydia's words became more and more real to Sila every day.
"Mirita!" A voice broke Sila out of her thoughts. "Ah, Lord Ravenswood. I'm sorry I didn't mean to space out, is there something you need?". Elyas Ravenswood, the blacksmith Sila was currently working for, was a man in his early forties who wielded a variation of fire magic (it may be a variation of fire magic but there's not a big enough difference for people to rename it), and he was a retired member of the Magic Knights from the Crimson Lion Kings. His last name sounded familiar to Sila so she did a bit of digging and found out that the Ravenswood family were nobles who then fell into ruin 7 years ago, knowing this and how Elyas was, Sila assumed that he didn't want to tear down the reputation of the Crimson Lion Kings so he left the Magic Knights. This also explained why he had so much mana compared to everyone else in Hage.
Elyas sighed. "Mirita, you've been hammering that blade for ten minutes" the older man then processed to take it out of her hands. "Forget the shape of it, you can't even mold it to look like a sword anymore!" looked at the blade and realized the issue. The "blade" looked more like a lopsided ball of metal, to which she let out a small "ohh". Elyas facepalmed and used his fire magic to melt the metal again and made Sila make the blade properly, which she did (by some miracle). "Ok Kiddo, now tell me what's wrong" Sometimes it was unfair how well someone whom Sila barely knew managed to read her. "What do you mean Lord Ravenswood?" And as always Sila would feign ignorance.
"I'm not stupid" Elyas started. "I know the entire time you've been here you've been lying to everyone. I'm not saying that you can't, it's your life, and any mistakes you make won't affect me, but some things have been bothering you for a while now". Internally Sila was screaming and yelling, not because she made a mistake, but because Elyas was persistent and he wanted answers. She knew she wouldn't get out of this without having to say something true. "Well, yes, I am only human so I do lie to people. There has not been a single person in the world who hasn't lied to another! In fact back in-"
