Helping Gwen to become stronger wouldn't be such a bad idea. Being heir to the Lioness throne, her life would always be in danger.
Emery couldn't always be beside her or come to her aide whenever needed. Especially when he went away for his third year in the academy, which meant he was going to be preoccupied with other things for an entire year. With all these things in mind, helping Gwen to become stronger was the most logical thing to do.
But then again, Emery could only help her if she had an innate talent in magic. Just like the others, he started by checking her blood to analyze her current skill set.
Gwen walked over to sit by his side before offering her hand. When Emery touched it, he could feel her heart beat a little bit faster.
He held the blade of his knife to the base of her palm, slicing it slowly. He tried his best to be cautious so he wouldn't hurt her.
