Chapter 40 Her magical powers 1 (2/2)

”You will call me master from now on.” Leon smiled cockily.

”That is no problem. From now on I will call you master.” Richard gave a salute to Leon.

”Very good.” Leon smiled. He was thinking that in the future this little boy will become king. And thinking that king of Alvannia will call him master and giving him respect, gives him the feeling of supremacy.

”Okay. How about you two children go to Richard's courtyard for a snack.” Grandpa told us. ”Sir Leon and I have something to talk about.”

”Okay grandpa.” Richard and I replied in unison.

”Let us go sister.” Richard grabbed my hand and pulled me.

”Okay, okay. Hold your horses.” I giggled. I look back at grandpa and Leon, curious to what will they be talking about. I saw them with serious faces.

”Was that your doing?” Robert asked Leon.

”What are you talking about.” Leon looked ignorant but his smile contradicts it.

”You know what I mean. The cat.” Robert said straight forward.

”You mean the cat the emerged from out of no where and attacked the second princess?” Leon asked amused. ”Would you believe me if I said I wasn't involved in that incident?”

”Then is it just a coincidence that the cat attacked Elizabeth?” Robert asked curiously.

”I can tell you that the cat's action was not purely coincidence.” Leon replied. ”Well it was a coincidence that it was passing by here.”

”Meaning?” Robert was confused.

”The cat's intentional attack was instigated by magic.” Leon answered truthfully.

”Magic?” Robert was surprised. ”But you are the only one here who knows how to use magic. Except if there is some spy in the palace I do not know of.”

”You know very well that there is another Atlantian here old general.” Leon said.

”You mean...” Robert knew what Leon meant by 'another Atlantian'.

”Yes old general, your granddaughter princess Alicia.” Leon answered with a hint ofamusement in his eyes.
