For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 25

Ishanil magic is a route of magic where the magician uses the mana circulating inside his body to activate a magical circle.

Usually, magical circles are activated using the surrounding mana floating in the air. While spells were cast using the mana stored in the body. But since humans had no magical system, they could not cast spells nor use Ishanil magic, only depending on magical circles.

Although This magic route is way more difficult to get the hang of, many nonhumans still prefer to learn it since it gives more liberty in forming it.

however, after the black snow accident, the numbers of humans who are able to control mana decreased greatly, let alone the capability to activate a magical circle.

"Hn, master use them a lot so he taught me about it. But since I don't have magic, it's useless for me." Everly answered.

'Master? obviously, this master is not human, how old is he to be able to use Ishanil magic so causally?'

Lennox swallowed his astonished expression and wore a calm face. He said under his breath:" that's right, Ishanil magic is complicated and consume a huge amount of mana, leave aside humans can't perform it".

Everly tilted her head asking with a dumb expression:" then why are you using it?".

'Ugh, I forgot about it. I might not be, but this body is human, I got to pay more attention to these details '

Yet before Lennox managed to come up with some make-believe crap Everly whooped suddenly:" is it because of your curse?".

Lennox:"....??".

Seeing that his expression was a bit off, Everly thought that she had touched a sore spot, immediately she said with an apologetic tone:" I am sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad. I just heard people talking about a curse and stuff, I am really sorry ".

Lennox:" I don't really get your way of thinking, but it's fine, I am not cursed actually. It's rather my nature ".

Everlys' eyes widened, she grabbed Lennoxs' hand and shoved her face next to his. Everly said sparkling:" so Lennox was born a ghost !!!!".

Lennox pushed her face away, irritatingly said:" what is exactly is in your brain? In what way do I look like a ghost, huh?".

Everly blurted: "there is a lot, your skin is too white....or blue I don't know, your eyes are so dark with some strange dots shining in it, you don't like the sun and people are scared of you. If Lennox is not a ghost then what are you? An owl?".

Veins popped on Lennoxs' forehead, he barked after swallowing a mouthful of soft candy:" like hell I am, I prefer people call me some nameless demon than a miserable ghost. Really, what a disgrace for my honourable being ".

With puffed cheeks, Everly said angrily:" you talk like you are some divine angel. You called me a zombie before but I didn't say anything".

Lennox snorted:" you don't even know what a zombie is ".

At that moment, they both heard knock on the door followed by a female voice.

" Your highness, are you in there?".

Everly instantly recognized the voice and rushed to hid under Lennoxs' desk.

Lennox answered:" yes. come in, Rachel".

When Rachel entered the room, Everly popped her head to take a peek at Rachels' mood. After all, Everly disappeared without saying anything, it was normal for her to think that she might be upset with her.

Rachel said in a firm tone:" my apologies, your highness. I have came to escort lady Everly back to her room, since it's already past her sleeping time, and it's inappropriate for a lady to roam around the palace in a nightwear ".

Even though Rachel was facing Lennox, but it was obvious that her words were directed to Everly.

Everly:" I don't want to sleep now, I just woke up a few hours ago. Also, I want to play with Lennox some more".

Rachel scolded:" you are a lady, and ladies shouldn't stay in other men's rooms at night".

Everly commented in a loud voice:" it's fine, I am not a lady I am a knight ".

with a deep helpless sigh, Lennox said: "it's fine Rachel, I will send her back with my assistant later. for now, you should go have some rest, it's already past your shift".

'Plus, there are things that I need to confirm with this half Love'

Rachel curtsied to Lennox then left the room without opposing him.

Everly first made sure that Rachel really left, then quickly jumped out of her hiding place. She said in a lively tone:" thank you Lennox, you are a lifesaver ".

Lennox pulled a package of cards off the drawer and asked Everly with a smirk:" want to play a few rounds?".

The purpose for him to invite Everly was of course so she wouldn't focus on the questions he asked her.

The long night passed without them noticing, they played and chatted for hours. Surly Lennox won most of the games, but he made sure to let Everly win a few rounds.

By the time Everlys' basket of snacks was empty, both of them had fallen in deep slumber next to each other.

On that night, Lennox learned lots of things about Everly. He learned that she never met her parents nor does she have any blood relatives. He learned that she lived with a master and his disciple which were like a father and a brother to her. He learned that she lived in a town near a mountain where fierce animals live. He learned that she is an expert when it comes to killing beasts.

He learned many things.

But the most important thing Lennox experienced was in that night and for the first time in years

He slept soundly without nightmares.
