"so that's the prototype huh?" Cassandra said..fascinated with the design..then she smirked "with that in sure you will be the strongest indeed..just like your in your dreams"

I can feel my face getting warmer..due to embarrassment... Why did I say that back then? It sounds so corny and stupid.

Finally I wear the gauntlet on my right arm.. its doesnt hinder any movement which is great, dwarves are really great craftsman

"Do you think it will work?" Ask Thomas while crossing his arms

"We will find out shortly" I answered before Emellie appears holding a box of vials.. vials of that special liquid that she made that stores magic

"Okay.. ummm.. I guess it should be miss Anna first" Emellie  hand over a vial to Anna which she took with a smile "okay.. please..umm.. focus and let your magic flow onto the vial and it will be stored "

"Okay..." Anna focuses.. her magic..but it seems it's taking a bit of time.. but she managed, the vial of transparent liquid is now a glowing gold color..the same aura when she empower my word back then "here Desmond"

"Thanks" taking it from her before put it on the slot..now.. I should try and make it work

"Okay.. so..umm..since it's holy magic.. you can probably charge your sword with that magic to make a magic powered sword strike"

"Alright..everyone stand back, this is a prototype..and we don't know how dangerous it can be yet" everyone then move back a little "alright... Here goes nothing"

Activating the mechanism of the gauntlet.. I can feel something flowing through, that's when I see it, the blade of my sword glowing with the golden glow as before, but then abruptly end as the vial became empty

"I-its a success!!!!" Emellie can't hold back her happiness as the prototype work "it works better than I expected! "

"True.. it is the same power that I wield back then, tho a lot shorter period"

"That can be improved upon! Yes!" Everyone was looking at Emellie at this point, smiling at how overjoyed she was

When she realise..she quickly stops, her face is red as she clears her throat before helping me take off the gauntlet "soooo...hahaha.. we will bring this back to the workshop and think of anywas to improve the design!"

"Wow.. that's mean with that around Desmond can use magic too?" Thomas was impressed

"No, with these..anyone who can't use magic can use magic...well, if the have the necessary material for it..this expensive to make, but in the future..maybe?" Cassandra smiled

Emellie nods and smiles "true! But in the future, we might discover cheaper ways to make these... But for now, improving the current model will be the focus" she bows at us "I'll be leaving now"and rushes back to the workshop

"She's very enthusiastic with this job " Cassandra can't help but to smile

"Well, it happens because of you" i said looking at her smiling "your compassion let her study in this place..and recommending her to miss Celine helped her a lot"

"Its the best that I can do..after helping us back then.."

"If you say so..anyways.. how's everyone's training so far? I wouldn't know since I'm helping with the gauntlet most of the time "

"The priests and priestesses have been nice to me and teaching me the ropes to improve my holy powers... I'm really enjoying the lessons " answered anna

"The duke brutal dude.. I wish I'm the one helping out with the gauntlet.. your lucky that you only train with him for a bit!" Thomas said while smiling "but I can handle anything.. specially with Anna giving me this cookies.."

"Wah! I told you to keep those cookies a secret Tom!"

"Cookies?" I ask

Cassandra just give me a.. well you know, kinda look while shrugging..what kind of development in this?

"Ehem! What about you Cassandra?"

"Oh.. you mother has been very generous with me, she already teach me a lot..both swordsmanship and as a woman.."

That just stop everyone on their tracks..even I didn't expect that..what is mom teaching my girlfriend!?

"I-I see... Hahaha..so you're enjoying her training huh?"

"Mhm.. we're also getting pretty close to each other..like you know, like other and daughter~"

. . . I think it's the first time I see Thomas cringed like this.. and Anna.. well.. Her reaction is blank..probably so surprised about how Cassandra is talking right now

"I also heard a lot of things about you when you are still a ki-"

"Okay okay!" I cover her mouth and sighed

"I-I think it's better if we leave you two alone for now..right Tom?" Anna said pulling Thomas away..Thomas just follows nodding.. eager to get away from..this..

I put my hands away from her mouth and sighed again, while Cassandra just laughs

"You guys should've seen your faces"

"Seriously...."

She then wrap her arms around my neck and give my lips a peck "come on..I just miss you, we barely talk to each other you know"

"Yeah I know" I blushed looking at her "but uhhh..I think we better...uhhh"

"Hmmm???"

Behind her is my mother and the duke

"Oh my?"

". . . ."

"Oh! Father! And..ummm.." cassandra got flustered easily when our parents are here

"You can just call me mother okay?..isn't that right my old friend?" She smiled at the duke knowing too well that he is a tad bit overprotective

"R-right..."

My eyes met the duke's..and suddenly I find my self running and th duke chasing me

"You need to do more training boy!!!!!"

"F-father!"
