The King's Forbidden Maid

Chapter 9

Rome stood in the castle library. She looked over various cook books and recipes within them. She knew how to cook but she was never expecting to have to prepare his meals so never took the time to learn fanciful meals. As she flicked through the pages of a book, she paced the library, her flats softly clicking on the floor as she walked. She took mental notes of some of the recipes before she placed the cook books on the table nearby. 

She skimmed and scanned the books as she moved throughout the library, she eventually left the cook books and walked to the smut, not her favorite of book types, but she did like reading them. She flipped and skimmed through the pages of a book, leaning against a bookshelf. She shut the book and sighed, "Make it somewhat realistic at least" she thought to herself before putting the book back and returning to her cook books. She picked them up and headed to another section of the library, this section being magic and spells. 

She picked up a book on the love spell Paris casted earlier, then grabbed some books on ice magic, she didn't need them but felt they'd peak some interest to herself. She walked along looking at magic spells written on paper, she stopped at some scrolls that held ancient information that Lucifer could read, Rome could faintly read them, but didn't understand every word written on them. She walked over to a table and sat down to read on the love spell. She opened the book and flicked through the pages, coming across the one that mentioned staining the users hands. 

'Love spells like these when used in the method to take a kingdom or take over a place of higher authority, the spell will backfire. It will result in anyone near the caster who isn't the target to notice it and be drawn to figuring it out. It is best to ensure no one is around when you cast such a spell, as your fingertips will be coated with a dusty pink color for a few moments. When using this spell for the first time, ensure your fingers are hidden so no one suspects you had a head in enchanting someone.'

 Rome rolled her eyes as she continued to read, there were step by step instructions and Paris failed to follow any of them. She shut the book and sat it off to the side. She rubbed her temples on the pure stupidity Paris displayed. She then grabbed the cook books and flipped through them to see what to make for Lucifer.
