Chapter 41 Her magical powers 2 (2/2)

”High class?!” Robert was shocked. ”Alicia doesn't know how to use magic prior to this and she was able to use a high class magic.” He was in disbelief.

”Yes, I was also surprised when that happened.” Leon said. ”After that incident, I knew that I need to teach her how to control and use her magical powers. And I am afraid she has great magical ability hidden in that small body of hers. I don't want it to ruin her.”

”I understand.” Robert said. ”Do what you must. But you need to do it in secret. You know that magic is taboo in this continent.”

”I know that more than anyone old general.” Leon said. ”People can be very fearsome if they are afraid. I don't want Alicia to suffer as I have.”

He remembered how he was outcast when he was young, just because he has some magical abilities.

”I will leave Alicia's well being to your crown prince.” Robert said. ”Please guide her well.”

”Of course general Robert. I intend to pamper my future wife.” A playful smile crept in Leon's face. Robert looked at him seriously.

”Be careful with your movements around her. I will always be watching you closely.” Robert threatened Leon.

”Hahaha come now old general, don't be so serious. Look wrinkles are coming out of your face.” Leon teased.

This just made Robert frown even more.

”Just remember your promise to me crown prince.” Robert sighed.

”Do not worry. I am a man of my word old general Robert.” Leon smiled his princely smile.

Robert looked at this young lad before him. He knows that this crown prince of Grandcrest is no ordinary person. If ever Alicia is married to him in the future, and as his queen on top of it, then he will be at ease.

”Oh general. Are you really sure it is okay for me to tutor your grandson in the art of sword?” Leon asked. ”I know that he is your pride and joy. I do not want to get in your way in how you shape him as a king.”

”Do not worry. It is just in the art of sword.” Robert explained. ”He has mastered the sword style of Alvannia. It will also be good to learn the sword style of Grandcrest. And if the two of you have a good relation, then I can see peace with both our countries in the future when the two of you take the thrones of your fathers.”

”I agree with you on that.” Leon smiled. ”I feel I can have a good relationship with young Richard. I have a positive feeling with our relationship in the future.”
