Chapter 199 Magnet for trouble Part2
After reaching the royal palace, Sylvia directly walked to her quarters. Her mind was still stuck in the events of the evening so she dismissed her maids early and spent the night in silence.
She couldn't forget the feeling of casting such powerful spells. But why were they even powerful in the first place? She had just cast simple chore magic.
Sylvia bit her lips pondering about this conundrum. She was too tired to cast any more spells and test her strength tonight, so she continued meditating for the rest of the night.
As her slender figure sat alone in the darkness of the night, pure thick astral energy swirling around her body, the night lightened up quickly and morning arrived sooner than she realized.
Sylvia flashed her eyes open with a yawn, but unexpectedly as soon as she did so, she froze and fell backward in shock.
In front of her on the dew covered lawn of the palace gardens, a huge white wolf was sitting, its body covered in mystic blue runes.
The wolf looked like he was sleeping, his body lazily sprawled on the grass. However, as if he had sensed that the other party was awake, the wolf as well lazily yawned and blinked his eyes.
Sylvia gazed into the clear blue eyes of the wolf. Roman? When did he come? She absolutely had no idea whatsoever.
Roman immediately shifted to his human form, and Sylvia looked away to give the man some privacy.
Apparently, in the world of beasts people were very comfortable running around half-naked all the time and she was just not there yet.
Her behavior was very amusing and it made the Lycan Lord smile. He had already invaded her privacy so he decided not to tease her further. "You are quite hardworking," He muttered, changing the subject.
"Huh?" Sylvia was confused. "Did something happen?"
"No. Nothing in particular." Roman shook his head which made her all the more puzzled. Then why was he here?
"Relax, your highness. I simply came here to talk to you about something. As you were in the middle of something, I patiently waited and ended up sleeping here in your garden."
"I hope your highness would not mind my intrusion."
Sylvia nodded. "No, it's fine. Did something happen?" She was not convinced and she asked again.
"It's really nothing, but there are some things you need to know now that you are here." Roman smiled, though his demeanor was rather quite serious.
"As you know, you are of the draconian heritage and anyone from your family is a higher order beast."
"You guys are feared and respected by the other beast clan members and also certain other savage and magical beasts, but there is also something else."
"When you step out into the wild terrain, these beings that fear and respect you from the sidelines might not necessarily remain in the sidelines."
"You are a walking treasure trove and every part of your body is a treasure." Roman's eyes wandered on their own to take a peek at the woman sitting in front of him.
The thin robe she was wearing clung tightly to her body as she was fully drenched in sweat, and it accentuated her slender figure in all the right places.
"You mean they will specifically come in search of my presence?" Sylvia now understood several things.
The fact that a strong and powerful magical beast had come their way despite the area they were in. This had not happened once but twice.
The magical beast outside of Kalindor Kingdom that no one could explain was also probably because of her!
Her words snapped the Lycan Lord and his eyes that had strayed away returned to meet the questioning gaze of the woman in front of him.
"Cough. Cough." He cleared his throat awkwardly and hurriedly replied. "Yes, that's exactly what I am trying to say."
"You might be a higher order beast but currently, you are not that different from a helpless pup."
"Your brothers and sisters might wander these lands and forests freely. However, if you do so, you would only meet your death or worse."
"I suggest that you not stray far away from the royal palace. At least until you are stronger?"
"I am sure that your grandfather would eventually arrange something for you, but if not, I can personally take you to tame a flying beast companion."
"So even if you wanted to travel somewhere, you can rely on your pet to take you there. Though the skies also could be equally dangerous, for a short period of time, it is definitely safer than the lands."
"Or if you felt that this kind of arrangement was suffocating or confining, you can always request the King for personal guards. Considering your special circumstance, I don't think he would reject."
Special circumstance huh? Sylvia chuckled wryly.
That's right she was the runt of the family without any magic talent, probably the only weakling from the royal family who would ever need personal guards.
But yesterday's night was different. Her thoughts went back to the powerful magic spells she had cast yesterday. Nevertheless, she looked at the Lycan Lord in front of her and thanked him sincerely.
"I am grateful for your warning and your counsel."
Faced with her undivided attention, Roman became uncomfortable and turned away. He could only imagine the stories his annoying friend might cook up if the word about this got out.
So he quickly spouted something to cover his tracks. "It's nothing. I guess in one way or the other, I am responsible for whatever happens to you here."
"After all, I was the one who brought you here in the first place. That's all."
"Take care. Perhaps not all members of your family are welcoming towards your presence. So it would be best if you... maybe talking with your grandfather and learn a few things first?"
"Mmm. I will keep that in mind." Sylvia might be clueless about other things, but this last part was something that she was well aware of.
"Alright. I will be taking my leave then." Roman ruffled his silver hair and stood up, turning to leave, but his feet paused and he suddenly started rummaging the insides of his robe.
