Chapter 143: Was the book finally taking it’s eyes off of Cass?
The next week was full of Sam nagging him about how he needed to take better care of himself for not only Cass’ sake, but Sam’s and the people who cared about him too. That meant that Cass spent a lot of time out in the gardens below his room with Sam’s hawk-like supervision, which wasn’t a bad thing, but it also meant that when he wanted to work, it was painful and slow. Cass was getting through paper after paper so slowly he thought he was going to die from lack of speed.
He couldn’t ask Sam for help, since he was able to read quite well and while he did trust the other man, he didn’t want him to know the plans he was formulating. For his own safety. So he had Byron by his side. He helped him flip papers, looming over his shoulder while, at a smaller desk brought in nearby, the man was working on his letters.
It was endearing to say the least, but also unnerving. Cass was really hoping that this wasn’t something that happened every time going forward. That would be awful.
Not having Byron help him, but the hand injuries.
During his healing process, he didn’t get a break from everyone else, unfortunately.
Lady Fiona was busy since the official call for help for the hero had gone out. The day for the hero party to go and conquer the dungeon had been finalised, and Cass was glad that it was the same day, or around the same day that he had predicted.
With that being said, Lady Fiona had come to check on him every day throughout the whole week. She wanted to make sure that he was recovering before she said that he was coming. Cass reminded her that he was a magic user, and that his powers were coming back and apparently, stronger than before, so he would be okay.
Lady Fiona appeared to be learning, since she asked for him to do a demonstration that he was stronger, even without the full use of his hands. Cass had been glad to show her, and had drawn up quite the crowd. Included in said crowd was a Draken, but he had hung back. More like a proud teacher then a partner in this situation, which had gotten him some goodwill from Cass.
Cass had shown off his new powers. The powers he had continued to work on with Draken despite their disagreement earlier in the week. Lady Fiona, along with the others, had been quite impressed by Cass’ show of power. It also served as a warning to the others who had thought he had grown weaker since he was injured that he was, in fact, still that bitch.
