Chapter 87: Cass in his happy place
Birdsong filled the air, wind rustled the leaves all around them, and the sun was warm and welcoming. Cass was in pure bliss.
After the last few days he’d had, this was a nice break, even if it was for a moment. He had been so upset when Sam had ’highly discouraged’ him going outside, but now he was ’all better’ and Sam had stopped restricting his movement.
He actually felt great nowadays. He had no idea why, but he felt strong, like he could do anything. Maybe it was time for him to start exercising, making this body strong like his previous one? He was sure that Lord Blackburn hadn’t cared much for the physical aspects of his body, and more about the mental powers that he possessed, but Cass believed both needed to work in tandem.
He spent a lot of time working at his desk. If he didn’t exercise his body as well, things could take a turn. His shoulders would get too tight, his mind could get less sharp, and his magic practise could be affected as well. Speaking of, he hadn’t done yet today. He’d have to do it when he finished all of his meetings.
For now, it was eating the snacks that Sam hand fed him while he read his book. He was sure he was kicking his feet, a grin on his face in between bites. He didn’t care.
It was nice having someone serving him. He’d have to look into how much he was paying Sam, and Byron and Sir Forsythe. He’d probably have to raise them.
"What sort of book are you reading, my Lord?" Sam asked finally, after the two of them had been sitting in pure, unadulterated bliss for about 15 minutes. Cass chuckled.
"This is a story between a demon and a priest." Cass told him and Sam’s whole face froze.
"A...demon and a priest?" He confirmed and Cass nodded, smiling.
