บท 54: 54 — Royal Banquet (1)

"What are you looking at?"

Lucian's voice caught Cynthia off guard. She quickly grinned at him, trying not to reveal that she had been looking at him for too long, trying to figure out what was on his mind.

He had informed her about their upcoming visit to the royal palace just a few days prior. When she suggested using teleportation magic, he adamantly refused. Cynthia couldn't understand his reluctance.

Although teleportation spells weren't common, they were completely forbidden for use in battles, as stabbing someone in the back was seen as a cowardly act.

Shouldn't he appreciate the convenience that magic offered? After all, they were now capable of wielding it as well. They had been training together for several months. Edric had mentioned that Lucian specialized in combat magic, while Cynthia possessed more divine abilities. That revelation had surprised them both.
