Capítulo 106: The Darkness Within (4)

Iris watched as Ricci and Amelia sparred with their swords in the backyard of the Ashwoods' home. A dense forest was in their line of sight and she wondered why the siblings chose to live in this place rather than near Greydale Town.

"Is something troubling you, milady?" Marcus appeared and took a seat on the wooden bench Iris was seated on, making sure there was enough distance between them.

"Yes." Iris easily admitted. "I feel frustrated that I cannot use my magic to its full extent. If only I have better control of it, Melia and Chrys wouldn't have to worry too much. While it's true that I can cast powerful and high-tiered spells, it always leaves me exhausted to the point of passing out. It puts me in a difficult position. I feel so useless despite having magic."

Marcus remained silent for a moment and they watched Ricci charge towards Amelia, swinging her sword towards the mortal in full force, forcing Amelia to stagger back from the impact.
