Chương 468: Pretty things are bloody- Part 1

Their stay in Valeria extended, and Penny continued to study the books along with Lord Alexander where some of the white and black magic could be performed by him, reacting to his words and movements in his hands.

She had hoped to catch her daughter again but she was in Bonelake and her magic wasn't working on her.
