ALORA EMBRY

We left the room where I was sleeping and it was connected to the Imperial Sorcerer's room. I do not know what happened but the room looks bigger than before, Michonne was there and was checking the Crown Prince's body.

There is a big black magic circle that was marked on his body it was the same mark that was on my chest.

"I thought if we kill the mage the curse that he put into you will be gone?"

"Oh, you're already awake." I frown when he immediately covers himself and I take a glimpse of it before it was finally covered the black magic circle fade...

"What was that?"

"That is the same case to you, My Lady. Killed or not the black magic won't be easily rid of. That is what Hanne said."

"But they said that if we killed him it will stop? I remember it clearly, that is what Leticia told me."

"Yes, that is what they expect but this was different..."

"If we just have the forbidden book..." I look at Michonne and asked her.

"Forbidden book, what was that?"

"I read it and I do not know if does exist but it was written on that book that the Forbidden book was given by the demon himself and only Black mages can read the text on that book. You can see the forbidden spells there, immediate cure, different kinds of curse, immediate death of someone and even bring someone back to life."

"This is the first time I heard this one."

"It was because it was never recorded to other books nor published so others can read, it can be a weapon to anybody who desires the book. They will do anything to find that book."

"And where I can find that book? Even though we do not know if that does exist it was still written there right?"

"It was not written there." I almost curse in front of them so I shut my mouth and sighed. It was a fraud one! Damn.

"Where is the Imperial Sorcerer?"

"He was summoned by the Emperor but he will be here later, now let me see your chest for a moment." I look at the Crown Prince that is still sitting on a chair, didn't he hear Michonne?

"Ahem, pardon me. I would like to excuse myself."

"Yes, go on." I didn't wait until he was finally gotten outside and unbuttoned the uniform that I'm wearing.

"Glad that this was not worse than I was expecting, the mage that cure you must be great."

"Why?"

"Of course, because it was smaller than the Crown Prince and the thing is it was supposed to stop your heart but it was not active that is why the pain is in there."

"You know well the stuff like this, Huh? Why are you still a student?"

"I still have a long way to go. If we finally get rid of the magic circle on your bodies, you'll be free from pain."

"I see." I buttoned my uniform when someone knocked. When Michonne opened it the Imperial Sorcerer and the Crown Prince step inside.

"I assume that you've already done on checking them."

"Yes, Master."

"Great job you can now go back to doing your research."

"Thank you, Master!" Michonne happily bows her head and bids her goodbye, she must really like her stay here.

"I greet the Lady and the Duke of Astley."

"Thank you for having us here."

"I've already seen the black magic on His Highness's body, what did Michonne say to you, My Lady?"
