Mine to Reach: A story of Vengeance

MAGIC

We ate our snacks at the garden filled with beautiful flowers, there was a huge willow tree in the middle of the garden. " You see that Willow tree there," the Marchioness said, " That was planted by Camille's grandfather" she continued. " Woah, that must be very old" I replied. We continued our little chit-chat and I returned home. I went back to my room relieved, now that was multitasking! I was in a very tired state after teleporting back and forth to different places with a great distance. I was too tired to walk to my bed and I don't have much energy left to use my teleportation, and I just slept there on the floor. << 20 mins skip>>. Mother found me lying on the floor, she smiled at my sleeping face and picked me up and carried me into her arms. " It looks like this child has been playing and had a lot of fun there at the Marquess's mansion," she said, she then placed me on my bed and tucked me into my blanket, and kissed my forehead. 

I woke up, wondering how I got to my bed. I was full of energy, I checked the time, and looks like I have slept the whole afternoon. I got out of my bed and heard some noises coming from outside. I went to the hall and there seems to be a guest, it seems like it was the tailor. Mom saw me and told me to come to her, " Honey, I noticed that you have grown so much and that you are going to need a new set of bigger dresses," Mother said. " But Mother, I can still wear my other dresses there and it seems to still be capable of use," I replied. " And how many dresses were those? You keep telling me that you don't need new ones for like since you were small and it looked like you were worried about spending money" Mother said. Yes, that's the reason why I have limited my number of dresses to save, it is because of what happened in my past life.

I had no choice, I had to accept this offer because Mother insists. Julius, the Tailor, and his 2 helpers began to take my measurements. After that, Mother and I began to look through the book of designs, " Honey look at this one, you would look cute in this!" Mother said, " It's nice Mother, but I like this one too as it compliments my Black hair and blue eyes moreover it looks elegant" I replied. We began to sort out different dresses for different occasions, especially for winter. " Please expect your orders to be finished at 1 month's time, and thank you for entrusting us for your service," Julius said. Everybody finished their tasks and so did I, I ate dinner with my family and went straight to bed.

I couldn't sleep yet since I got to sleep the whole afternoon. I walked to the door of my balcony and opened it. I smelled the breeze coming at me, it was cold and chilly, but it was not that bad. I am still worried, what if I fail on that day? What if I will be too late? I asked myself. Trying to sort my thoughts out, I wanted to go to the garden. I snuck out of my room and made sure no one noticed me. I was almost near the garden, I spotted some blue lights floating inside there. " Who could that be, there must be something wrong," I thought to myself. Instead of going in there by waking, I decided to teleport in an area that anyone would not notice because if I did not, my footsteps will be heard. I arrived at that place and, it was a little boy, someone familiar. " Arthur?" I said in confusion, " What is he doing here? And he's using magic". I went out of the bush and shouted, " Hold it there!", I used my force on his whole body to prevent him from escaping. " I knew it, I could sense it," Arthur said. 

" What are you doing here?" I asked but still used force on him since I was still suspecting of him on doing something bad. " I only came here to investigate the mana I detected" he replied. " I came to this garden on your birthday because I felt someone using magic, so I returned here," he said. " At this time of hour?" I replied, " Who wants to be a trespasser in the morning?" he said replied. " You know, you could be put in prison for illegal usage of magic unless you are permitted by the Mage's tower" he continued, I raised my eyebrows, "It's not my fault I was born with it" I blurted at him. " Born with magic? That's unheard of, the member of the Imperial family receives their mana after their baptism" he said. " Stop the chit-chat, who are you? Since you know so much about the Mage's Tower, you must be some apprentice there or something" I said, Arthur giggled, " You're wrong" he said then suddenly dragged me near him using his mana. I saw a closer view of his facial features, his red eyes only inherited when part of the Imperial family, blue mana. " Coul it be?" I blurted, " Prince Arthur Blanchet Lavigne?" I continued. " You are actually smart, consider that a compliment," he said.
