Chapter 46: Confrontation in the Castle
As Gabriel was sitting alone, staring at the candle, he touched the book on his lap.
-Legends of Forbidden Mana,- the title was written in faded gold lettering.
The pages were with accounts of powerful individuals throughout history who had been hunted, hidden, or destroyed for the threat they posed to kingdoms.
His headache throbbed as he read about ancient wizards who suppressed mana users through cruel enchantments, imprisoning them in their own minds.
The idea floated uneasily in his stomach, knowing how close Lirian had come to being one of them.
Gabriel sighed and closed the book, placing it on the table beside him.
He glanced at Lirian, who was on the bed across the room, her chest kept rising and falling in one rhythm.
Her face looked peaceful, but the glowing runes faintly were still visible beneath her skin.
