"There's only one way to find out." Dr. Walt said and picked a knife beside the table of food that was for Genevive. He went to her father and sliced Lord Alan's palm. Lord Alan gave a grunt as it really was unexpected and quite painful. Genevive gave a shriek and yelled "father" and ran towards her father and held his hand.
The moment she made contact with the wound, her hand glowed. Light illuminated the whole room. The light was blinding that everyone found it hard to open their eyes or even blink. Usually, when light magic activates, the light would be minimal and it would be bearable. A moment later the light died down. The wound that was on her father's hand was gone.
Everyone was shocked about their discovery. Their young miss has two magical powers. Not to mention it was Light magic a rare and valuable magic! Everyone in the room looked at Genevive with disbelief and confusion written all over their faces.
"And- Andrea! Ho-how did you do that!" Lord Alan was shocked to ever witness this. But even she didn't know how to answer. She just stood there frozen and still. In Genevive's memory, Lord Alan was the only one who calls her Andrea aside from her mother. It was a precious name for them as it was the name of their first born daughter. Genevive's sister. Gwen Andrea Rosse. Unfortunately, she didn't survive to be a Rosse for a longer time.
Doctor Walt was the first one to come back to his senses since he also experienced this. Doctors of the magical Kingdom of Fiero all use Light magic, counting that there are a very few people who had light magic, although it can't be counted by fingers, the number is still the lowest amongst all percentage of magic users.
"I, I think.Lord Alan I think she doesn't know a thing about this power, and the light magic she had was only activated today. That's why her body didn't show any complications when I checked her earlier!.. This is a major discovery.. But I know it isn't any of my place to do this but a piece of advice my Lord, People will always spread their discoveries. Given that no one in your family has light magic, and only a distant ancestor. I suggest the little miss not to act rashly and be careful when practicing and using this magic." Dr. Walt said.
"No one must know about this! No one else will delve into this matter! And no one is to speak about this to anyone particular. If not, I will personally send them to their end!" The warning Lord Alan said was enough to make everyone inside the room quiet and shiver. Even the doctor felt afraid to even look at him.
Then Alan turned to his daughter "Genevive, You above anyone should also be wary of this magic you had. Andrea, you should always hide this from everyone else okay?"
"Yes Father, I understand" Genevive answered but a thought came to her mind. "Father, I want to practice my Light magic. But in school, if I don't let anyone know about my light magic, how will I practice?"
Lord Alan turned to look at the Doctor
"Doctor, will you help my daughter practice her power?" The doctor immediately nodded his head and said "I will do my best my Lord" And bowed.
After that every afternoon, everyday, Dr. Walt came to the Rosse Residence to teach Genevive about Light magic. And each performance, Genevive exceeded everyone's excpectations. Only at eight years old and her magical capability already exceeded the natural power an eight year old child could manage.
And the maids also noticed a change in their young miss's attitude, she was as calm as ever, and it seemed sometimes she was lost in a lot of thoughts in her head.
One day she was taking a rest in the garden, swinging on the swing set. She was lost in her thoughts yet again.
She thought about her own old life. There were funny yet painful memories that flashed inside her mind. A life she knew that was beyond this. She missed her loving and doting mother. The straightforward bestfriend she had, the most doting in-laws and the most handsome, and caring boyfriend- no Husband. She missed her husband's beautiful eyes and handsome features. The Cold yet Warm, Heartless yet Loving husband she had just married. The handsome stunning smile that had captivated many girls on the streets, and on social media. The husband that she was supposed to live with her entire life. To share their marital bliss with, to share the love, happiness and joy of their children, and to grow old with, but fate really is cruel. Just like that everything was gone, lost to her.
Everything Catie was thinking brought so much pain to her heart. Unexpectedly, the air around her was getting so strong that the swing set started to move forward without any force applied but just air. Genevive didn't seem to notice as she was lost in the sea of memories and thoughts. The swing set flew wildly and the moment Genevive was aware of what was happening she was startled and accidentally let go of the ropes of the swing she fell from the swing from more or less five feet above the ground hitting the solid ground with full force. She wasn't an air user so she didn't know why it happened and she couldn't float to avoid getting hurt.
"LADY GENEVIVE!!" Sara, the head maid rushed forward to her but Genevive already lost her conciousness when she got close. She shouted for help to help their young miss.
"Genevive! What happened!" Lord Alan asked the woman.
"My Lord! Lady Genevive was just swinging then suddenly the air got massive and she fell from the swing!!" Sarah answered.
"Call the Doctor! NOW!!" Rage and worry filled Lord Alan's face a he held his daughter whose forehead and arms were bleeding.
"Hang in there Genevive, Hold on daddy's here"
Not far from the residence, a man in black robes was hiding in the trees. After he saw what happened to the young lady, a smirk made its was to his face and he ran towards a place deep within the forest..
"Master, I have done your request.. I am sure the little lady cannot survive her fall.."
The man who the black robed man called master spoke.
"Be sure I don't want that little chit become a part of the royal family. With her dead, Lord Alan would be devastated and he would not be able to focus well in the battlegrounds.." He shot a glare towards the direction of the Duke Rosse's Castle. "Let us return, we must report to the young master."
The young man in black robes looked at the back of his master and turned to the Rosse Castle's direction.. He felt sorry for the little lady. Guilt awas placed in his heart.. He had harmed a helpless innocent young lady. That will forever be in his book of large sins.
