Chương 609: Her Decision

"Don't be scared, Your Majesty. I don't mean you any harm nor am I greedy for your powers. I am simply, for the lack of a better word…curious." 

With her lack of response, the elf continued, "The world is a mysterious place, and the more you know, the more you realize how little you understand. I do not believe in coincidence, Your Majesty. The fact that our fates let us meet means that there must be a reason our paths crossed. 

"Knowledge about things you do not understand can prepare you for the dangers coming your way. You should also need to know about your own powers. You might need them in the future."

"I don't know how to use magic," she said warily, "and I….I don't plan to use my powers either. I am fine with how things are at the moment." 

Though she appeared calm, one could sense in her choice of words that she had no interest to pursue this topic.

Magic—it was both a gift and a curse.
