Students of Gilead Academy began applauding for the newly-called guest speaker for today-- which happens to be my mother, the head of the village healers of Ziv.
"Lancaster?" Ariella asked. She was standing next to me along with my other two friends. Cailin and Maggie looked at us with curious expressions plastered on their faces.
Then they all looked at me with confusion.
"By any chance, are you related to the guest speaker Krisella?" she added.
And now they know about it too, which I kinda try to hide in fear that it might cause pressure towards my stay here in school. I don't like the feeling of people expecting so much from you, like the way I felt back in our home village.
"Yes," I lifted one hand and rubbed the back of my head. "She's my mother."
They all gasped.
"So you also happen to be the daughter of a master wizard? Am I right?" Cailin asked. I almost scold her for being too loud.
"Y-yes," I reluctantly replied.
