Chapter 225: An Alternative
Back in the Palatial building, specks of glittering white dust escaped the tip of Madeline’s fingers as they dropped on the dead plants lined up in front of her, and she kept her focus with a lingering smile.
As the dust landed on the soil where the dead plants were placed, just like before, all the five different flowers bloomed greatly, to both Osvaldo, Cassian and Napoleon’s delight.
"Miss Madeline, you did excellent today!" Osvaldo praised with a beaming smile as he walked up to her. "Just yesterday, blooming one flower had driven half of your strength, but today, you bloomed all five without any sign of weaknesses..... something’s different, what’s the magic?"
Osvaldo’s charming face leaned closer as he was eager to hear the gist, and Madeline blushed unwillingly at the proximity of his face, he looked quite feminine from up close, his features soft and refined, and the shoulder-length hair complemented his pretty face.
"Not quite any magic." Madeline looked away after clearing her throat, and Osvaldo pouted his lips in displeasure after realizing she wasn’t going to tell him, but suddenly, he smiled and turned to Cassian.
"Don’t even think about it." Cassian already gave his silent warning, killing Osvaldo’s idea of getting the gist from him instead.
"Let them be Osvaldo." Napoleon finally spoke up, pulling his sulking brother to his side. "She found the library passage, she’s probably putting the techniques written there into good use."
"Does this technique involve the love syndrome?" He asked coyly, but that led to Napoleon shutting his brother’s mouth with his palm.
"Stop talking before I glue your lips together. We’ve been through this already." Napoleon warned, and Osvaldo lowered his pretty hazel eyes, keeping silent.
Madeline found Osvaldo adorable, he was just a harmless guy who liked to mess around, but in the cutest of ways. Napoleon on the other hand is an entirely different story.
Since she had gotten here, her powers had been gradually awakening, and presently, she was getting good at bringing flowers to life. If she keeps up daily with this routine, she’ll be able to control them in the future.
