Magical Dorl

A Deal At The Palace

Ouch...my head feels like exploding, just what happened

Kasumi hissed in pain as she slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake?"

At the unfamiliar sound she sat up quickly, now fully awake and alert.In front of her sat a young man about her age, he had yellow hair that the sun shamed to compare to, and his eyes were the color of a clear blue sky.

"Who are you? and why did you kidnap me?"

"kidnap? ah!" he dramatically put his hand on his forehead, hurt by being called that "that hurt my feelings. I am Luke, your savior."

"My savior? I demand you take me back to where you found me!"

"You can't demand me, I am the crown prince. You -a commoner- has attracted my attention. You should be honored to have captured my liking" he looks at her, very smug about his position.

"Liking?? what are you talking about?" kasumi at this point was looking at him with complete disgust "If you want money then you will find none on me"

"You can repay me in another way"

At that moment, the butler comes in."Ah Ray, right at the best moment. Go tell the chef to prepare dinner and inform me when it's done. After all hospitality is our specialty, right?"

"Yes, your highness." he bows and gets out.

"Where were we now..ah yes! You seem to be quiet good at magic. If the empire finds out you would be punished for secretly practicing magic, maybe prison for life or even death! ahaha~ that would be upsetting right?"

"W-wait! if you want money just give me one month."

"I am the crown prince. remember? I don't lack money. What i am saying is that if you follow me i will help you avoid that fate. You might even get some rewards if you play your cards well""And how do you want me to follow you exactly?"

"It is quite simple actually, you will be on the winning side if you accept. i want you to practice harder and develop your magic and increase your mana. Become one of the best magicians in the empire, no..the world"

"Hey...don't tell me you think i can use magic?"

"I am pretty sure you can, I can sense it a mile away"

"Ever heard of magic pills?" kasumi said while looking away guiltily.

Luke's smirk turned into a dumbfounded smile as he let out a confused "huh?"Kasumi nods, confirming it again.

Luke hums as he squints his eyes, and for a moment they turned into a dark blue before returning to their normal color.
