Cassandra looked at her snake and then at me, I saw that she was thinking and was waiting for her answer.
- I don't know what this is connected with, but I feel like I have more strength. - Cassandra spoke thoughtfully in a melodious voice, looking at me, then turned her gaze to the bracelet.
Thinking about it, I began to remember what I knew about the cursed swordsmen, something had to be, I felt it. And when I was about to leave these thoughts, I remembered the words of Ama`Lena is about how the cursed swordsmen could empower their loyal allies.
- Try to create a spell that was the hardest for you. I was not sure of the dean's words thoughtfully.
Cassandra could only shake her head, the wedding ritual was done, but she didn't feel that Trey had changed his attitude towards her.
Getting out of bed and walking out into the middle of the room, she began to invoke magic, unlike the light elves who drew a spell from the world around them, dark magicians turned to the negative that was in the world.
At first nothing happened and Cassandra could see Trey's face changing. But after a couple of seconds, a circle began to appear around Cassandra, it began to glow more and more, she could feel her strength growing, she was overflowing with energy and she did not feel tired.
- That's enough, undo the spell before we attract unwanted stares. - Trey turned to her, Cassandra realized from his voice that something was bothering him.
After canceling the spell, Cassandra returned to Trey on the bed, she saw him thinking about something without taking his eyes off the place where she pronounced the spell. Raising her hands, she turned his head to her, when their eyes met, he blinked a couple of times and smiled slightly.
- What's bothering you, Trey? - Asked Cassandra, she did not understand why her spell, which used to take away almost all her powers, was now used very easily and she still had strength.
Watching Cassandra's spell, I could only sigh, why didn't I foresee such a possibility? That my blood will be able to influence the magical talent of those around me.
- What worries me is that now you will attract more attention with your strength and many will begin to wonder where such an increase comes from. - I said thoughtfully, looking into her eyes.
Watching how misunderstanding remained in her eyes, I thought how to explain to her the situation in which we found ourselves with her.
- Previously, you could pronounce this spell, but you were very tired and perhaps the power of the spell itself has changed and become more powerful. - I said thoughtfully, shifting my gaze from the place where she was casting a spell on her.
Cassandra listened attentively to him and could not but agree that her spell has become more powerful and as a magician who helps support his partners, everyone will notice it.
- And there will be questions about how I was able to strengthen my spell if my people refused me. - She continued Trey's thought.
Trey nodded at her words and continued about something, she didn't know how to tell him that there was nothing to worry about.
- Cassandra, listen to me carefully, if during training before the tournament you are asked to use this spell, say that you can't. - I said in a serious voice.
Cassandra could only look at me uncomprehendingly and in her eyes I could see the question that tormented her.
- I don't want you to put yourself at risk because of this spell, we don't know yet how your other spells and abilities have changed. - I said with excitement in my voice.
Watching Cassandra lower her head, she was sad that after the wedding ritual, all she thought I cared about was that she had become stronger.
- Cassandra, look at me if you think I care that you've become stronger, no, but I don't want anything to happen to you, we need to become even stronger so that no one can dictate terms to us. - I said in a serious voice, lifting her head with my hands and looking into her eyes, and then I noticed that her eyes had become darker.
- Your eyes have become darker, they used to be red now they are dark red. - I said carefully looking into her eyes.
Cassandra could only raise an eyebrow in surprise, her magic had changed, becoming stronger, but also the color of her eyes? She couldn't figure out how it was connected, unless Trey's blood had affected her so much.
- I think no one will notice it, everyone usually looks not in the eyes but below. - Cassandra said affectionately, approaching my left ear.
Trying not to give in to his desire, because it was not the place and not the time for intimacy with Cassandra. Feeling my head spinning again, I pulled away and rested my head against the wall.
- Don't bet everything on your newfound strength Cassandra, explore new opportunities otherwise you will find yourself in the same position as me. - I said with a grin.
Cassandra, listening to my words, could only laugh, he is the one who took first place in the third test, defeated two princesses, says that she may suffer.
- But will you come to the aid of your wife dear? - Cassandra said teasingly, slightly biting her lower lip.
I wondered if she had always been like this or if my blood had made her more open
, I would have to ask Samantha later.
- Where's Samantha? - I asked, I only saw Cassandra and Keirin, but Samantha wasn't with them.
Cassandra, remembering her friend and their last conversation with her, could only shake her head.
- She stayed in your apartment when we left, she's thinking of choosing the second option. - She said with sadness in her voice.
Listening to Cassandra, I could not help but understand Samantha's thoughts, she did not want to be with me and this duel crossed out everything she aspired to.
- This is her life and she can choose, we can only support her and, if necessary, help her if our help is needed. - I said to Cassandra.
I could notice that Cassandra listens to me attentively and nods, you can't know everything in advance in life, but you should always try to help your loved ones.
- Aren't you mad at her? - Cassandra asked.
Not understanding what she meant, from the very beginning of this relationship, I thought that after the academy we would go our separate ways.
- Angry that she's going her own way? - I asked Cassandra, smiling.
Cassandra, watching Trey, did not see anger or anger in him that his second wife decided to leave him.
- Yes, after all, she is connected to you and her life belongs to you. - With sadness in her voice, Cassandra said it was painful for her to lose her friend.
Looking at the sad expression on Cassandra's face, I couldn't help but smile, she thought she had lost her only friend.
- Her life belongs only to her, just like your life belongs only to you Cassandra, if you are friends nothing will destroy your friendship and now call Keirin, the three of us have a lot to discuss. - I said, smiling at Cassandra.
