Chapter 379: Lawrends First Wife (1/2)

Although the Goddess told him that he wouldn't be able to practice the other elements anymore, he was still hopeful that she was wrong.

He felt dejected as he realized that he had made a mistake in the past. ”If only he tried other elements in the past,” that thought resounded inside his head.

”Are you okay, Master?” Aezel asked worriedly.

She could see the dejection on his face, and she couldn't figure out why he was dejected.

”Leave me alone for a while. I will practice my magic,” Lawrend said to her solemnly.

”Okay..?”

Aezel nodded her head reluctantly. She sat beside him on the bed and placed her arm over his shoulder.

”Tell me what's wrong, Master,” Aezel whispered softly.

”You wouldn't understand,” Lawrend replied.

He didn't know if it was okay to tell her about the fact that he could have practiced the other elements too. She might think that he was crazy.

”Okay. I will leave,” Aezel said.

She looked behind her at Lawrend before leaving the room.

Lawrend closed his eyes and got ready to chant the spell again.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Lawrend opened his eyes and looked at the door.

”Master, it's me,” Aleshia said through the door.

”What are you doing here?” Lawrend asked.

”Sister Aezel told me that you're acting weird. She thinks that you're about to do something weird again,” Aleshia replied.

”...Enter.”

Aleshia was someone Lawrend trusted a lot. Maybe it was time for him to reveal to her who he actually was. If it was her, she could understand what he was thinking.

After all, she watched him change. If there's someone out there who would know more about him, it was none other than Aleshia.

”I know it will sound crazy, but… I could have practiced all the elements,” Lawrend said and stared at her eyes.

”And?” Aleshia asked calmly.

”You're not surprised or anything?” Lawrend asked in amazement.

”Master, I already decided long ago to trust you with all my heart,” Aleshia replied and smiled at him.

”Aleshia…”

Lawrend felt touched by her words. He raised his hand and caressed her face.

”So what do you mean by that, Master?” Aleshia asked curiously.

”I missed my chance to practice the other elements. When I tried to use the Beginner Fire Mage Spell earlier, it did not work,” Lawrend answered bitterly.

He felt awful. He couldn't understand why he never tried learning the other elements.

It must be because of Olgar's words back then that having an affinity for more than one element is very rare. It became subconscious to him that he only has an affinity for one element.

”But wait…”

Lawrend held his chin in thought. He just remembered something.

”Huh?” Aleshia was confused.
