Chapter 102 The First Princess
"If this is the Royal Library, then of course there are going to be spellbooks here... but I still don’t know anything about learning new spells. Might as well try."
Roman stepped into the vast library, the maid walking silently behind him. Shelves stretched endlessly in every direction, but each was clearly labeled, making it easier for him to navigate.
The maid watched as Roman passed several sections, scanning the signs, until he finally stopped in front of a particular shelf.
"Spell Books" was written at the top in elegant golden script. Roman counted nearly fifty books just on this shelf alone—and it was likely only one of many.
A smile crept onto his face. He reached out to grab one, but the moment his fingers approached, they stopped, blocked by an invisible force.
Roman blinked in surprise. The maid’s eyes widened too. He tried again, but the same thing happened—his hand met a solid, invisible wall.
"What is that?" the maid muttered, stepping forward and reaching for a book herself. She, too, was blocked.
"Have you encountered something like this before?" Roman asked.
"I haven’t really touched any of the books here," she replied. "I can’t read, so I don’t come for books. But I’ve escorted others in here, and nothing like this happened. Though... they never tried to take spell books."
Roman went to the next shelf and was able to pick up a book from the shelf. He placed the book back and stood in front of the shelf.
’This must be a barrier preventing anyone from reaching the spell books, maybe these are high-level spells or something’
