5 TESTING HER THEORY (1/2)
ARGENT was in deep thought.They were currently on their way back to Hanover manor.But her mind still can't stop thinking about what happened in that shop.Of course she doesn't really care about that brat, he's just an ignorant bully who will eventually grow up into a bastard.What she's interested in was what happened after that boy suddenly attacked her.She looked down at her sleeve that was burned.Did that fireball just graze her sleeve and it didn't reach her skin?But based on the damage on her sleeve, that would have been impossible.So then, why didn't she receive any damage?She has a theory.But she has to test it first to make a proper conjecture.
She glanced at Felicia.She was eating one of the shortcakes they bought with relish.”Is it tasty?”
”Yes, Young Lord!” Felicia replied happily, she didn't even bother to wipe the cream on her face.
Argent sighed at her clumsiness.She took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the cream on Felicia's face.”You're eating like a kid.”
Felicia blushed.This was the first time her Young Lord has done something like this.Her Young Lord has always been shy and won't take the initiative to touch others.But somehow she doesn't dislike this kind of Young Lord.With his silver hair and purple eyes, her Young Lord will surely grow up to be the most handsome Lord.She grinned.”Would you like a piece of this sweet, Young Lord?It's really delicious.”
”No.I don't like sweets.Anyway, Felicia, I need you to do something for me.”
”What is it, Young Lord?” Felicia asked, full of seriousness.
”I'll tell you once we're near the manor.”
Argent glanced back outside the carriage's window.An hour later, she could already see Hanover manor.She told the driver to stop and pulled Felicia outside.
”Drive back to the manor without us,” she told the driver.
”But where are you going, milord?” the driver asked worriedly.”What am I going to say to the Duchess if she ask why I came back without you, milord?”
”Tell her I'm going to pick flowers over the hill with Felicia and that we'll be back soon.Oh, and don't forget to give the things I bought to the butler or the head maid.Tell them to put it in my room.”
Before the driver could complain, Argent already pulled Felicia towards the nearby forest path.
”Are we going to pick flowers, Young Lord?But that's not the way towards the hill,” Felicia said, confused.
”Because we're not going to pick flowers, silly.”
”Then what are we going to do?”
”Remember what I told you earlier, about the thing that I want you to do?”
”Yes, Young Lord.”
”I'll tell you once we enter the forest.”
What Argent needed Felicia to do has to be done in a place where no one could see them.This piece of land belonged to the Blackbourne's.Outsiders won't enter this place so carelessly.So it would be safe to test her theory here.
Once they enter the forest, Argent let go of Felicia and turned to face her.”Listen, Felicia, whatever I ask you to do, I want you to do it without any complaint.Do you understand?”
”Of course, Young Lord.Whatever it is, I will do it.”
”Then I want you to attack me with your Gift without holding back.”
Felicia thought that she just had an auditory hallucination.How else could her Young Lord tell her that that he wanted her to attack him?”Could you repeat that, Young Lord?”
”I said attack me with your Gift.”
”No!” Felicia immediately refused once she made sure that she didn't heard it wrong.She was aghast to even think that she would attack her Young Lord.”How could I do that?”
”Remember what I told you, that you can't complain?”
