章 38: Gerald

Flashback to two days ago in the Crystal Mansion. My eyes were shut as I practiced my mana flow. I was feeling the mana spreading all over my body. But I was interrupted when I heard Duchess Blair, who gasped then followed the teacup, crashing to the tea plate. 

I opened my eyes and stopped practicing. Duchess Blair walked closer to me and observed me intensely. I gulped, not knowing why she was doing this.

"Flora, you… You're born with this magic?" Duchess Blair took a step back and covered her mouth. She blinked her eyes at least five times. "I-it's a miracle." Duchess Blair clasped my hands while her eyes tear up. 

"What's wrong?" I asked and rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.

"Flora, even if you didn't have the ceremony, you still inherited the magic!" Duchess Blair spoke out of excitement. 

"What magic?" I asked, still not understating her.
