บท 29: [Bonus chapter]
"You need another session of treatment." Thea read the lines and smiled bitterly. Of course she knew and she wanted to do it too.
But since the time the rumors about the demon had started, her father had started to visit her often baffling her to no end.
She did not understand why her father who had only neglected her for so many years was suddenly so worried about her!
"The demon has not been arrested yet while the army is looking for her everywhere. It is not safe to go out and we are only trying to protect you.'' She was tired of listening to the safe words. Her magic of space was not working too.
In the end, she could only walk to the library and read more about spells. She had to know more about the spells she could do and forbidden spells that she could not use.
"Is there any simple book for me to start?" she muttered to herself as she was looking for books.
If only this timeline had the list of books on the computer too so that she could sort the books out. She was randomly picking the books as she roamed in the desolate library since everyone was busy looking for the demon.
Just when she was picking a book that looked interesting, one of the books fell on the ground, gaining her attention. When she crouched on the ground to pick up the book, she was surprised to see that the book had her picture.
But the name was not Althea.. She picked the book and walked towards the table she was sitting earlier on.
"The book on earth elemental magic, rare spells and forbidden one.'' That was the title of the book with flowers blooming on the ground as the cover page with her picture on the corner.
She opened and flipped a few pages. The book started from simple spells but then they turned complex, requiring a lot of things in the process.
When she was flipping the pages, her eyes fell on a particular spell. How to grow your own herbs instantly with the help of spells. It interested her since she knew that having rare herbs can help her with her condition.
She read the simplest one that can help in growing snow grass that is good for changing your smell.
It only needed some water, flowers you want to change the smell of and spirit power. She tried her best to read the spell and perform it but sweat started to form on her screen and she started to feel heavier.
In the end, she could not perform it and her head slumped on the table.
"Oh my.. Are you okay, my lady?" The maid who was waiting out entered the room when she heard the sound and looked at her with a worried look.
Thea blinked her eyes a few times as she sat again and nodded her head when the eyes of the maid fell on the book and she sighed.
"My lady, you should know that you do not have spiritual power. You can not perform any kind of magic with elements. And this one.." She pointed at the spell, "this is only for the person with earth as their elemental power but everyone in the palace of duke has fire as their element.
You should try some magic with fire. Like creating flames or burning the parchment." Thea stared at her picture on the cover with a sigh.
"Then what do you think about it?" she pointed at her portrait when the maid stared at her with confusion as if she did not understand what Thea was talking about.
"The flowers are growing on the ground? Well, growing anything suddenly needs the element of land or earth, my lady. As I said, none of us have it. If we try to perform the spell related to other elements, no matter how simple they are, they would suck all of our energy and we still would not be able to perform them well." she explained as if she was dealing with a child when Thea realized that the maid could not see her picture on the book that baffled her.
Could it be, it was just her illusion?
She read the name written below the portrait and whispered, "do you know anyone with the name Amelia Hardy?"
Just as the name left her lips, she noticed how the face of the maid turned pale as if she had seen a ghost. She shook her head instantly but her face was more truthful than her voice.
"Alright, you can go!" The maid bowed and left with hurried steps as if demons were chasing her when she went and checked more books. She picked up all the books she could see with that name and her portrait. Most of them were about the element earth magic and spells.
But a few of them were about the common spells and how to train your body for better using the spirit power. She took out the training book and read a few meditation techniques from it.
Just when she was reading it intensely, her eyes caught her own name on it.
"Althea, my daughter is the best example of it who had developed her spirit power upto the rank three only at the age of three due to regular mediation and training.
If a three year old can do it. So can you!" She was surprised that she had developed good spirit power at such a young age when she was told that she did not have any affinity to magic and her body did not hold any spirit or magic power.
But it also cleared her doubts about the lady.
"So, you are my real mother." she had felt the strange resemblance when she had seen the picture for the first time and sighed. Her father must have refused everyone to tell her about her mother. But that did not mean she could not know about her from other sources!
