Impractical Magic

I M Chapter 78

In that very same night I woke up. I was inside of what seems to be make do tents that were set up before we reclaimed the city. When my eyes adjusted to the dark, I can see Maria, Mooly, Steven, and Michelle sleeping nearby. It was a small tent so it was a little cramped inside.

I felt something warm holding my right hand. When I glanced to my right Blake, was there holding it tightly. It took me a moment to realize that we were holding hands and I quickly pulled my hand away which almost woke him up.

I stood up and got out of the tent. Outside by the entrance was Kate, standing guard.

"Oh, Angelica you're awake." [Kate]

"Uhh, yeah..." [Angelica]

"Blake was really worried about you, you know? Even while you were sleeping you were grasping his hand tightly the whole time." [Kate]

"The whole time?!" [Angelica]

"Yes?" [Kate]

Did I instinctively held his hand while I was unconscious?! So it was I, not him...

"Angelica?" [Kate]

Uwahh... I cover my face in embarrassment.

"What do you think of orcs?" [Kate]

"They are a threat to all races and must be exterminated at all costs." [Angelica]

"Heh, we have the same opinion, but there is a race that we all should be wary of." [Kate]

"What race is it?" [Angelica]

"The undead, they move and attack tirelessly. Despite having little to no intelligence, they are able to use weapons. The real danger is they have the ability to use magic without worrying about their energy running out." [Kate]

"Shouldn't all of the other races be concerned about it then?" [Angelica]

"Yes, a mandate solely created for that purpose, that when an undead army appears. It is stated that Kingdoms even at war should collaborate to eliminate the threat." [Kate]

"Is that true?!" [Angelica]

"Yes, there is a saying that whenever an undead appears. The corpses nearby will rise from their graves, as you know wars or conflicts inflict massive amounts of casualties and if those casualties were to rise then..." [Kate]

"I see..." [Angelica]

I cringed. They can even force countries at war to help each other out or face annihilation from their own dead.

"Did you know? That if your father wasn't the personal guard of the princess. He would be the knight captain instead of me." [Kate]

When Kate, saw me getting goosebumps she changes the subject.

"Really?!" [Angelica]

"Yep." [Kate]

I already knew that, but acted like I didn't, just so I wouldn't waste her concern.

"I never knew that he was that amazing." [Angelica]

"I wonder what life you'll have if the king accepted your parents relationship." [Kate]

"I may just like be like mother, or worse." [Angelica]

"Wah?!!" [Kate]

"I was joking." [Angelica]

"Whew, that's a relief." [Kate]

Kate, heaved a sigh. Does she really think that I would turn out like that? It hurts me to hear that she thinks of me that way. Deducted 10 love points for you then...
