But this body is different, as Diana, my body is strong, the channels are like titanium, it withstand an angry ocean of magic within themselves, and I have such a deep well of magic that I can't even tell apart the bottom of it. This training with be very effective to help unblocking my channels when paired with the massage I'll start getting from tomorrow onwards. It'll be way more useful for me now as Diana than me back then as Eleanor.
After purifying the blocked channels by covering them with my unlocked endless wind magic, I felt all the impurities of my body leaving me through all my pores. Then I laid back down, staring at the ceiling, a beautiful and detailed ceiling. Closing my eyes, I fixated on what I felt, on my channels, feeling them all, the blocked and the unblocked ones after covering all in my wind magic.
There are 290 points through all my channels that are for my wind magic, the core of it being my lungs, it's refreshing. One of my blocked magic types, the second strongest I believe, has 310 points blocked through all my channels, its core being in my womb for whatever reason, giving me a chilly sensation. Now, the strongest one has 400 points all over my channels, also all blocked, the core is my heart, and I feel warmth from it.
The average person has 50 points for one magic, whereas the strong ones go up to 100 points. I have 1000 at total, three magic types, it's insane.
A happy smile curled my lips, finally feeling like I have a chance to live, to survive way past 25 years old, past 50, past 80 if possible. Hope bloomed in my chest like it hadn't in countless of years. I will be stronger than Sofiya could ever dream of being if I learn how to master this, even stronger than Nikolai or Maximilianos, if I do it right.
I'm not going to die!
I giggled to myself, "I am not going to," but everything went still and my smile died when I felt a stranger entering my chambers without coming through the door, but by the balcony.
Sitting up straight, I opened my eyes wide, but even when I looked around, I saw nothing. I saw nothing, but I can feel someone in here, someone extremely strong and dangerous, and if they are invisible, that means they mastered an assassin's skill used for stealth. As soon as that settled in, I stood up in the bed and conjured wind magic blades in each of my hands, on guard.
"Who is here?" I questioned, jaw clenched hard.
"Can you feel me?" A haunting male voice spoke, coming from a spot that was three steps away from the very center of the front of my bed, where I moved my eyes to. His voice was raspy and deep, not haunting in a bad way, but haunting in a way that... turned me on.
I swallowed, "Are you here to kill me?"
"Never," he chanted and I don't know why, but the very foundation of my body and my soul believed in him. "I didn't want to startle you."
"If you're not here to kill me, what are you here for? Who are you? Why are you invading a single Lady's chambers, through her balcony, secretly, while she was supposed to be asleep?" I asked.
"I came to see how you were, I heard about the Duchess' funeral," he said softly, but even then, his voice was still the deepest I've ever heard, unknown for sure, which means, I don't know him. "I see that the rumors about your memory loss are true, if you don't remember me."
Remember... him? Was he acquainted to Diana? To which Diana tho? OG Diana or Yeji's Diana? "How am I supposed to recognize you, if you are hiding your presence with magic and invisible?"
"If you remembered me, you would be able to tell who I am by my voice, Liya!"
Okay... If he's calling me this, he definitely has known me from before, "Is your voice that remarkable or are you being arrogant?"
"Does my voice makes you feel anything?" I stayed silent to that, feeling my cheeks heating up. "There you have it, Liya. I'm not invading your chambers, I'm doing something we got used to doing before. Don't you remember all the nights I've been here with you for?"
My entire body heat up as I understood what he meant... which means he's my... my lover, "What kind of relationship did we had?" I lowered the blades.
"Exactly the one you are thinking about."
Oh, God, of course Diana would have a lover, is this the actual person she ditched the Crown Prince for? What a mess. Should I keep it up? "What is your name?"
I felt him taking a step closer, "Castiel."
"Castiel," I tasted the angelic name.
"You can call me Cass, it's how you always did."
Always used to?
That's leaves room to believe him and Diana... I, have been like this for a long time. "How long has our... situationship been going on for... Cass?"
"Situationship?" He purred as if amused with my choice of words.
"We clearly are not in a relationship, since I'm a noble Lady, and a relationship with me would be public and serious, with engagement in mind. But if we... have been physical for some time, intimate enough for you to come into my chambers like that, and for the nickname basis, it means that we have a situationship going on."
"I've always made sure that I intended on making in public and having you with me, when everyone could see, officially, Liya," he lowered his voice, serious, the mischievousness gone for a second, "but you didn't want to do that yet, you told me you didn't want to get married so young. So, I would say we're definitely more than just a situationship, Liya."
Oh, shit, so he really is my lover, isn't he? What kind of mess am I in? "How... how long have we been like this, Cass?"
"5 years, since little after you turned 18."
So, he started as OG Diana's lover, stayed as Yeji's Diana's lover, and now... now he's mine?
