The True Princess (Wmmap Fanfic)

Chapter 12: Mother

Athy's POV

"Then, I'll be off." I bowed to Claude.

We just finished boat riding, and now I was heading to Lucas to learn magic.

"Took you long enough. " Lucas complained.

"It wasn't my fault, okay? He kept insisting on having tea." I explained.

"Ha, that guy? I thought he didn't care about you?"

I awkwardly chuckled and said, "Yeah, I thought so too."

"Anyways, do you at least know how to compress your mana? It's overflowing."

"I-it is?"

"Very much so."

"Alright, then how do I do that?"

"Just compress your insides, breathe deeply, and concentrate."

"Are you serious? I'm still lost." I complained.

What kind of explanation was that?

"Just do it." He shrugged.

I sighed and said, "Then how did you do it when you were still learning?"

"I just did it, I'm a genius from birth."

Are you serious right now...

"F-fine, I'll just try that then."

I compressed stomach, while closing my eyes to fully concentrate, and then I took a couple of deep breaths.

"Woah, you did it."

"I did?" I excitedly repeated.

I did it!

"I knew it. I wasn't the problem, those idiots were." He chuckles to himself.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"None of your absolute business. " He put his tongue out at me.

I really. really hate his guts.

I thought as I just smile at him.

"Anyways, go back for now."

"Wait, but it's only been 10 minutes?"

"I know. I'm busy too." Lucas lazily said.

"But-"

"Go." Lucas interrupted, and I teleported back to my room at the snap of his fingers.

That bastard.

I decided to study for a bit since I haven't been studying, and so I went to my study table.

It's been a while since I sat here.

It was true, I haven't been using the study table ever since I reincarnated here.

When I sat back down, I noticed a book on the table.

It looks... somewhat familiar.

I picked up the book, and sure enough, the title said, "My Lovely Princess".

What the.. W-what is this doing here...

I froze.

No way..

I stared at the book on my hands, and every single second led me to despair.

"Princess?" A voice was heard outside the door, and I snapped back to reality.

I immediately shoved the book in on one of the drawers I had with the study table and said, "Yes?"

"This is Lily, princess. May I come in?"
