Nora pov

It has been a bit since my little accident that got my past life's memories back to me. As I delved into them, I realized that most of those memories are rather foggy. I can't really recall much at will and if I did it always had a blurry faded view. If I remember a fact I can still see somewhat of things I forget.

And it also made some of my memories as Nora kinda blurry too...

So currently I can remember a chaotic mix of those memories...

And on to the present instead of that problem...

I knew I needed to focus on this the most...

I gazed at my reflection in the mirror of my bedroom night table.

In it, I saw myself wearing the silver nightgown I was currently wearing standing behind said white wood painted night table with a glass of water on it.

I closed my eyes tightly. This better work.

I envisioned the cold liquid in the cup slowly rise.

I imagined the cool chill as I tried to feel and muster the forces or magic to be exact in my body.

Yet...

It felt empty. I felt no natural moving force in my body.

Not exactly that there was none I think I could feel some but it felt like touching thin ice. Like a single touch would break it and it

would fade.

Not to mention I knew I needed to stop immediately after I felt a sudden subtle yet strongly coming tiredness.

...

So he was right...

I barely have mana at all...

This was something I've known for awhile living as Nora. I mean I knew it sucked but this is the first time I fully understood the gravity of this.

In a kingdom that values a person's magic power...

In a royal family nonetheless...

As a person even, this could make me lose all chances of making a future for myself in this world..

Okay...this second life second chance just may not be too easy...

I felt the steel heavy doubt weigh at me as I laid my back harshly on the bed. I heard the loud soft cushion bam as I landed but I was more concerned of the shattering sound in my mind.

Dammit, curse those cliche MC's with an unreasonable large mana pool...

Now, what do I do?..

Since I don't exactly have no mana at all but still can't cast a single proper spell since it's too weak means I can't use anti magic like Asta either...

Heck, holding his sword could suck up all my weenie mana and kill me.

Maybe... I'm just not water attributed like Noelle...

Right, there still that..kinda??

Now that I think of it, I always believed I was water attributed because Noelle was. Being twins it was likely we shared the same attribute or something close to that. I don't even remember having tried to really find out.

Considering my weenie mana they just often told me not to bother. Even if I really had a different attribute I won't be able to use it anyway. There has to be some way around this...

I slowly put my hand on my pocket.

After pulling out its content, I was able to look at the golden and crimson lined orb magic tool.

I bought it last week with Nanny Ania's help of course...

She gave me a sad look but smiled softly and let me have it anyway..

It did take me a full while to convince her.

It's supposed to check my attribute?... hope this would work... please be convenient...

Okay... Let's make this another step to find a way around this..this has to work unlike the rest..formally checking my attribute...just take baby steps we'll figure something out...

I mustered up all my fading hopes as I held it in my hands...

I was told I basically just have to give it a bit of magic...

Please work...

I closed my eyes again like a moment ago but I crossed my fingers just in case...

...

The second I opened my eyes I was surprised beyond my wits...

Holy moly...

...

DAMMIT, YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! IT'S NOT WORKING!!

It's suppose to light with a color based on what attribute you have.

Why isn't it working? Is it defective?

It's not lighting at all...

I know I barely pass as one but I'm still royal. Did someone really give me a defective magic tool?

Clack*

I heard the sound of the door knob turning as Noelle entered the room quietly whilst not even looking at me.

Her silver hair was a mess and her clothes were stained but I didn't bother asking as she walked towards the dressing room.

Messy breakfast affair this morning..huh.

I'm slightly glad that Nanny Ania got me sick day and had me eat in the bedroom instead of eating with the Silvas..

In a bit, Noelle finished dressing up and went to the her soft white princess bed similar and basically beside mine.

Her tired purple orbs gazed at me as we made eye contact also allowing us to be engulfed in awkward silence.

Although she ended the silence as she suddenly raised her finger and pointed to me.

...

???...

My eyebrow twitched as I gave her a questioning gaze as she still oddly stayed silent.

"What?..."

I finally blurted out as my confusion got ahead of me. The next moment she rolled her eyes annoyedly as she pointed again moving her index finger slightly.

Confused, I tried following her finger to see where's she's pointing at. My eyes fell at the defective little crimson orb on my hand.

I raised it slightly to confirm it with her. She nodded then I heard soft footsteps as she walked closer to my bed.

"What's that?"

She asked looking at it inquisitively.

"Not much. It's defective anyways. Don't bother."

I replied to her nonchalantly as I shrugged my shoulders beginning to put the orb away in my pocket to throw it away later. Hmm, I'll ask for a refund and give that dammit scammer a mouthful.

I saw Noelle reach out for the magic tool so reluctantly I gave it to her. She looked at me suspiciously as she raised a brow.

"Nora, seriously what is it?"

She asked again while sitting now on my bed.

"It's supposed to glow to tell you what attri-"

All of a sudden a blinding blue light filled the room. My eyes scrunched up at brightness but I opened them when they adjusted.

I was then greeted by the sight of a confused silver headed girl gazing surprisingly at the literally shining like the sun blue orb.

So, not defective, huh...

Should've expected as much perhaps...

Still shouldn't it atleast I don't know um spark a bit for me? I'm no ASTA I can use a bit of magic it's just really weak...

I can atleast make the water vibrate without any wind and just my magic and then I-

Would faint.. nevermind no wonder it couldn't even sense anything...

It really is bad...

...

A deafening silence engulfed us again as Noelle stood up to place the magic tool gently on her bed and then she returned to sit beside me again.

"It's a magic tool for attributes, huh?"

She said with a dim unreadable expression looking down at the floor as the atmosphere suddenly turned a bit frigid.

"Well...yeah..I-"

I tried to explain myself nervously but was then interrupted by her sudden furious glare.

"Nora, I told you before. No matter how hard you try... it can't be helped. You've been doing a lot of odd things these days..."

She said angrily as she subtly clenched her tiny fists on the sheets.

She then looked away as she harshly left the room but not before a few final words.

"You maybe a disgraceful royal who can barely use magic but...to me it's fine...even if you can't cast a single spell... "

After those words, she slammed the door and left me alone in the bedroom.

Even if she says that..it won't really make it easier to accept though...

Considering the events that are gonna happen in the future...

Elf invasion...

Devils...

I'm basically a sitting duck who's basically useless at any given circumstace. Years from now rather than helping others I'll probably have to worry a lot about my own life.

Heck...even common crooks here could atleast have some decent magic. If Nozel decides to kick me out, I'm screwed.

Noelle at the very least has mana to work on or dammit even Bah-ha could beat me to the pulp.

Why?

It's more likely that Bah-ha could atleast cultivate his magic unlike me. Another why? I literally faint after using barely even a bit. Maybe it was better to have no magic at all so I could use anti-magic like Asta.

Still in my thoughts, I stood up from my soft white bed as I gazed at the balcony window and decided to stroll outside.

...

I left for the rose garden in the estate hoping it could relieve me a bit of my worries and just maybe get me to stop moping.

...

The sight was subtle and calming. The dark green bushes were well trimmed allowing the dozen reds of blooming roses to flourish under the afternoon light. The rosey fragrance filled the air as the gentle winds passed by.

I sighed softly as I looked at the clear blue skies.

A subtle thought then came to me as I walked pass the rose path only to see a young man wielding a sword in the garden.

His long hair shimmered in the sunlight as his sweat drops fell gracefully from the rigorous activity.

I went closer hiding behind a bush wall in the garden as I watched him.

Although...it doesn't do much I suppose I'll have to train my body.

I guess it's the best thing to do that Asta realized early on since he had a lack of magic power too.

Suddenly, I felt a chilling hawk like gaze staring straight at me.

The young man seems to have caught me watching already as he made eye contact with me.

Alright... that's my cue to go...

I turned my back quietly making sure to properly hide behind the bushes this time but-

"Come out. I know you're there."

The man's deep voice said making me feel a shiver to my spine. I tried ignoring him and sneaking quickly out since I figured he can't actually see me behind the bushes. Probably just the sound of footsteps and rustling giving me away.

To my surprise, I felt a strong pull in the back of my clothes making me have to look behind.

There I saw the young man I was watching earlier holding me at the neckline of my dress.

In closer inspection, he had long blazing hair and tan skin with his sharp eyes gazing at me.

I looked at him awkwardly not knowing what to say.

He then tilted his head as he suddenly nodded as he pulled me back to the training ground near the rose garden where we were at awhile ago.

We were silent as we walked well more of he walked and as he dragged me around but once there he finally spoke.

"You're Nora, am I correct?"

I fiddle with my fingers as I felt my nervousness burning through. Why exactly? It's because...

This magic...

Even if I'm no good at sensing magic since I barely have any... I can sense it so clearly...

This guy is really strong... almost like even without lifting a finger this guy could crush me at the sheer weight of his magic alone.

It's making me nauseous...

The atmosphere was heavy but even so I nodded.

Unexpectedly, he fake coughed then the heavy magic in the atmosphere suddenly lightened.

"My apologies, I was told you have a weak body. I was training earlier so I let my magic run a bit rampant. I mean no harm, little one."

He blurted out calmly still gazing at me almost making me feel like he's boring a hole at me.

Who is this guy then, though?

...

He seems familiar. I wonder if he's part of the main cast. Hah...most of the characters are blurry in my mind...

His gesture was effective as the lightened atmosphere did make me look at his face unlike just a moment ago where I avoided it.

He was expressionless but as he said I didn't feel any harmful intent so I tried to say something then suddenly-

"Nora, what are you doing?"

A voice said coldly menacing. It sounded different so I was sure it wasn't the man I was talking to currently.

Following the sound, A strong hand forcefully held my arm painfully.

I looked up the assailant...

Silver hair...

Another Silva sibling I suppose. No wonder the rough treatment...

A lame braid I infront of his face for some reason...

I replied as he released my arm...but..

"Nozel-niisama, I was just-"

"Go back to your room, now. You aren't allowed to be here.Leave, now."

He said frigidly cutting me off. His purple eyes were stern as my body froze from his presence.

What do I do now...?

Dammit, I hate this. I'm like a cokroach running in broad daylight here. If I was gonna be like this, why did I have to be born a royal.

I really need to figure something out. No way do I plan to live with my head down like a headless chicken my whole life. This is my second chance and living like a coward won't do it for me.

Yeah right...

My body was still shivering. I suppose I'll figure it out another day but a brat against a magic knight captain just won't do it right now.

I clenched my fist quietly but let go of my simmering anger.

"I'll leave right away. I-I'm sor-ry, Nozel-niisama."

After that I left like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Ugh...

...

As I was walking away though a heavy sensation suddenly rained down in me. My knees were shaking as the chill crawled through. What is this?...

I feel dizzy. The garden halls were woozy and tumbling in my view. I could barely keep balance. It was as if I was walking in a tightrope all of a sudden.

I felt myself falling slowly so I stretched out my hand to feel for something to help me stand.

I can't find anything in the open space. I'm gonna fall splat to my nose...

I clenched my eyes awaiting my fall.

...

What? Where is it?

I felt a warm strong pillar against my body.

"Is she alright, Nozel?"

My sight was then met with that of sharp eyes and blazing crimson hair once more as he said those words. His arms wrapped around me. I suppose I should thank him later for saving my face from the floor.

"Don't mind her Fuegeleon. I'll call Mrs. Cartel to get her back to her room."

I heard Nozel's voice reply.

Fuegeleon?

...

I felt a sharp weakness coursing through my body.

I just fainted a week ago? How weak is this body to do this 3 straight times?

"What a weakling..."

I heard that shrill dark voice in my blurry eyes as the silver headed figure gazed at me.

Hah...

He's a real jerk...

But I know it too... I can't deny that it's true...

I felt my body being passed to another figure.

I was then greeted by the sight of a familiar worried old woman.

"I apologize, Nozel-sama."

I heard the woman's soft voice say. As she lifted me up.

" She didn't mean to disturb you and

Fuegeleon-sama's training. I will make sure to keep a better eye on her."

It didn't take much time for her to drag me out of the two's presence.

This just kinda proves I'm a literal weakling even more...

Sigh*

I breathed out a soft breath. Once we were further from the training grounds my head started to clear.

Well...atleast I'm not fainting again...

"Nora, mind telling me what you were doing there? I told you to rest in your room."

I heard her voice in the silence. She still held me close carrying me tight so I began to pat on her shoulder signing her that I can stand. Reluctantly albeit she let me go and then waited again for my answer.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to go for a short stroll. I just didn't want to be too cooped up. It was supposed to be just a short while."

I admitted looking down at the floor to avoid her gaze.

"That wasn't very quick was it?.."

She said chiding as she pat my back.

" *Sigh*...you just had to run into them training. You already know that Nozel-sama prefers you not to be outside. I'm able to let you stroll around a bit when he's not there but not when I told you he's home like earlier."

The old woman continued while jesturing me to come closer with her hands.

...

I gazed at her not knowing what to answer.

A memory then appeared at my mind again.

'You are a disgrace that is better locked away out of sight. You're mere existence dishonors us. Mother regrets that you were born and so do I-'

'Remember, stay out of sight. Seeing you here just makes me disgusted beyond relief. My mother's murderer is a royal who can't use magic? You dirty her name.

I reminisced on that time that flashed through my mind like a storm. In the memory even the slamming doors and my pathetic naive cries were so clear.

That's right... you're a disgrace that should just disappear...

The heavy chill weighing down so clearly as the he whose suppose to my own brother said that while gazing at me like an insect.

I unconsciously grabbed my arms keeping them close feeling the electrifying weight of their shiver as even they remember the painful tightness of that day.

I remembered that again...

In the end, I calmed myself with silent breaths.

I have my past live's memories now. I survived somehow once I'll live through this. I can't remember much but I know Acier Silva doesn't seem like that type of person.

Deep down...

I felt a relief at that realization...

Yet...

It only really assured she loved Noelle and the other Silva siblings...

I'm not supposed to be here. What about me? Is there really a chance she actually hated me...after all I-..

I noticed Nanny Ania's hand on my shoulder making me halt my steps to look at her worried eyes.

She looked at me with a gaze asking if I was alright despite the subtle shiver I nodded and we began to walk again. Luckily it seems she decided not to probe anymore questions.

Let's not have that matter now...

When I watched the anime I could never understand Noelle's need to prove herself to such crapheads...

But now...

I think I understand...

I who lived comfortably with a warm family who accepted me as I am was never understand the pain of being treated as a disgrace by your own kin...

It hurts a lot more than I imagined now that I remember what warmth was like. I'll find a way around this. I'll prove to them that I'm no disgrace...

Then maybe they'll-...

Yeah...by any means possible..

In the short silence with my quiet resolve...

I called and I hesitantly gazed at the old woman.

"Nanny Ania..."

She nodded in response with a simple 'Hmm'.

"I...um..."

...

"What if...I said I wanted to learn how to wield a sword. I can barely use magic...even though I'm supposed to be gifted in it as a royal...maybe I could-"

I tried to say but a sudden halt to her footsteps cut me off.

...

"Umm...is there something wrong with what I said?..."

I asked her whilst she looked at me blankly.

I saw her silent but in a brief moment she sighed deeply and cradled her forehead.

"You're acting really weird lately..."

I felt my eyes widen. So a lot of them noticed. How am I even going to explain...

Slowly whilst in my thoughts I noticed her bend to my height looking me hawk straight in my eyes.

"Nora, I hate to tell you this several times but you're body is a lot weaker than most. You barely have magic but you're body is also highly sensitive to it meaning you can't receive healing magic."

" Sword training... isn't something your body can handle. Even the mere thought of it is reckless. Actually, though I give you leeway but you've been doing a lot of reckless things these days. what is with you?"

She said with cold stone seriousness as she grasped my shoulders tigthly. After saying those words, she stood up and carefully guided my body like I was a fragile porcelain piece to a bench in the garden then sitting me on it gently.

"I know it is an upsetting truth but it is one you must accept for your own sake. Please give up on this, little flower. You faint in the slightest strain. Something like that is far too impossible. Now, wait here. I'll get Noelle so both of you can wash up. She's probably tired from training in the lake so help me cheer her up okay?"

She said leaving me alone with a bitter smile.

Once she was out of sight I felt my body sink in the bench whilst I raised my head slowly to face the clouds...

The hues above were a stunning sunset as orange and reds graced my eyes...

Give up on this..?..

That again...

Could I really have to live my life like this and give up...

Up in the deep warm skies in the distance I saw birds flying gracefully amongst the winds...

Flying so much like they were in a trance...so freely...

At that moment I gazed at them...

An old memory of my old self doing the same on the hospital roof during my internship flashed...

There was only one difference...

That me, Rika Holly, smiled as she dreamed of her horizons that were so close in reach whilst I...

Stood here in a some liking to a deep pit unable to ever reach those clouds in the sky that were furthest from my reach...

It would be nice to be like that again...

Hmm... she's taking too long I might as well just go straight to my room. I think I have a note in my pocket.

Yeah, that should do the trick.

With that, I left while leaving the note.

Walking in the garden I gazed at the rosey blooms. Soon I stood by the grand oak door leading to the estate only to be greeted by a familiar figure...

An unpleasant one that is...

In the halls a silver haired little boy chattered around with his friends all dressed in the fine noble cloth as a few maids watched in awe at their display of spells.

Solid Silva and a few lackeys...

Nonetheless at that moment, I couldn't help but gaze in absolute wonder and...

Envy...

How nice would it be to be able to do that too without fainting again.

Perhaps at not given even a split second the silver haired boy gave me a horrendous stink eye but then smiled politely at his friends slowly shewing them away.

I'd rather not bother with him I should go quickly before he-

"Why are you here? I just had a meal with my friends don't make me barf it out at the sight of you. Didn't Nozel-niisama already tell you to not leave your room?"

He said while his sweet polite purple eyes from just a second ago turned a heavy sour.

"I'm sorry, Solid-niisama.I was just passing through. I didn't mean to bother you.."

I said nonchalantly as I walked away. Here we go again with the same lines. Nevermind just hurry up and forget we ever came across each other.

Suddenly, a cold force hit straight down my back.

Behind me I saw Solid's cruel mocking gaze as he held his wand smoking from the spell he cast that hit just a while ago.

"Don't ever call me that. Trash like you are no sibling of mine. The mere sound of it is disgusting. Not to mention..."

He said while urging a few maids to come closer.

"We still have unfinished business from a night ago, did you forget? That dumb nanny of yours got me in trouble for causing a ruckus."

As he spoke he held one of the maids by the shoulder as he began to whisper something.

'Where's the old biddy?'

He whispered.

'You don't have to worry about her, my lord. She has a few urgent errands from the headmaid.'

Unknown to me the maid replied this as they both gave me a dark grin.

Nonetheless I didn't have time for this. I left whilst they were seemingly whispering amongst themselves.

I walked the corridors again fading sunlight on my skin. I felt a heavy yawn climbing up my throat.

All of a sudden a felt a forceful pull hold me down. I didn't understand what was happening at all.

One thing for sure it felt frightening.

I struggled but I failed. It didn't take much time when I felt my body thud to the cold hard ground.

Gazing at my surroundings was a deep dark room.

I heard door clack and a sound of wood to block the entrance.

Hearing that I ran frantically towards the door.

I struggled on the door knob and banged on the door but it simply won't budge...

I heard Solid's voice from the other side of the door.

"This time don't ever forget your place. A filthy royal who can't use magic is nothing but a disgrace. You don't dare talk back to me. Call this payback from a few nights ago..."

He said while snickering as he left and the sounds faded.

I banged on the door again. Screamed even. Nothing...

A felt my head tingle in excruciating pain again as a memory resurfaced...

Dark figures...

Dark rooms...

Fear...

A door that can't be opened ...

And...

Fire..

Hungry and painful as it burned...

I banged on the door at the unclear bitter memory that felt so similar to this...

I felt my rage rise but the invisible burning pain consumed as the memory of that moment returned.

I heard something footsteps. I peeked at the keyhole. Black and white maid uniforms. It wasn't really clear but as long as somebody could get me out of here anyone would do. I screamed and banged at the door even louder.

"Who's there??"

One of them said surprised whilst gazing at the door.

"Get me out of here. I c-cant stand it!!"

I shouted even as I felt my breaths turn heavy from the exhaustion.

"Who coul-"

"We heard nothing. Let's go. You're new so you have a lot to learn.

One of them replied but after the other realized who it is after giving a feeling of sudden stink eye then interrupted.

This is too much... They're out of their minds...

I screamed at the top of my lungs again but they just walked away faster.

'Why are you so sad... it's not like they haven't done this before...'

A childish voice deep in my mind said all of a sudden.

What?...

My head tingled again as my memories as Nora stormed by.

'Why do we have to serve someone like her?'

'A magicless royal? Isn't she basically a peasant...'

'I can't believe we have to fall this low for a good for nothing. Luckily, Solid-sama and Nebra-sama truly understand us.'

Those words rang in as the memories flashed...

Pathetic...

Was I always this pathetic?...

Now that I think of it... nothing about that really changed...

But...

RAAAH!!

...

Okay think...

No way am I staying here!...

I felt the quickening breaths. Not good . Don't get a panic attack tight now.

Suddenly a memory of my past life passed through.

Ebony hair...words that I don't remember but were close to my heart...

People from back then that I probably would never see again.

I'm alone..

None of these guys are going to help me like them...

I felt a burning sensation in my chest...

This is just...

So aggravating. They just ignored what the-

...

Not now..

Just this once please prove that I'm not pathetic...

I gazed at my surroundings. I noticed that this must be a basement of some sort. White sheets covered boxes of this that.

I ran towards them and began too look.

I tried ever thing in the book I knew.

Just when I was starting to give up. I noticed a wooden length and sheen in the darkness.

My second life...

That's right. I had a chance to live once more . I lost it all once. No way am I standing by their hands. If I fail it's by my own hand.

I grabbed the object hurriedly and swang it at the locked door.

I fell down from it weight but...

Light.. there's light from the crack .

One more time!

(And once I do I'll..)

I swang the axe I found earlier as much I could.

Thud*

I fell forward but as I looked around I was greeted by the lighted halls.

I was horribly panting almost feeling like death but...

I'm out...

I let myself out without any of them-...

I can't believe they just ignored me like that..

I almost felt like if I stayed there I would die..

Now that I think of it back in Black Clover, they did say people with barely any magic are treated like dogs here...

It never really struck me that deeply but seeing first hand really is-...

I need to get strong.

I won't waste my second chance. Even if I have to claw my way...out...

I'll find a way somehow..

(In any means necessary...)

I felt the simmering burn of those words knaw at my core.

I was able to find a way myself. One day I'll really show them...

I'm not a weakling..

But then..

I felt a stinging pain tremble on my head.

Let's leave and forget this. We don't have time for any this. They wasted my time. I can't waste it anymore. I'll just hurry to my room.

...

I arrived back at my room shutting the door with my back against it only to be greeted by the sight of a messy room.

Broken toys here and there. Even the toy box itself was layed on the floor messily.

I walked slowly whilst gazing at the debris. In it, I saw the white twin mirror tables dabbled in scratches.

I gazed at the glass mirror but in my reflection...

I saw a shattered image of a little girl as her curly silver hair flowed loosely whilst her drooping unorganized nightgown was blown by moonlight...

A cute child perhaps...

But those eyes...

A lovely lilac color yet so...

Weary and most of all...

In them not even she could see it much yet but something was swirling inside like a storm...

A subtle burning hate and raging anger.

But at that moment as I said, I haven't seen it yet.

That only left a mystery in my mind wondering what was in that gaze that felt so odd inside as though my shivering was running colder.

All my silent thoughts faded as I heard the door clack as two people entered the room.

I stood still barely listening as the scene unfolded not even looking at it.

"Nora, what happened here?"

A young childish voice of a little girl, Noelle, with her braids swaying in the wind said behind me.

I quietly shook my head not knowing much of what to reply.

I heard then footsteps behind the both of us laughing boorishly.

"Be thankful. This is my little birthday present for the two of you. Now you won't have to see you pathetic ugly faces in the mirror anymore."

At those words, I finally looked behind me at the girl with curly flowing hair with similar lilac eyes as me.

Nebra...

"Especially you, Nora. You should have pitied such a pretty mirror to have to look at your disgraceful face everyday. A royal who can't use magic? The poor thing must have regretted being born. Really. Nozel-niisama should have thrown you out with the peasants where you belong."

She said still snickering mischievously . I could still hear her talk this and that mostly about me than Noelle though but here and there she said something about her too.

I stood there frozen not even bothering to listen what either were saying coherently.

Not much later, Nebra left still with that arrogant smile on her face.

I could hear a crying Noelle behind me but Nanny Ania arrived soon and calmed her down.

Why am I standing still?..

It's because...

I really can't do anything right now, can't I?

Will I really just live like this?

With all my pride as fully grown woman in the 21st century. Living like this now that I remember my past life absolutely sucked. Whenever I compare it or even when I think about my past life I can't help but miss it.

This place seems rather cold...

"Nora, I'll calm Noelle down a bit outside, wait here. I'll have the other room ready. I can't believe Lady Nebra caused such a mess."

Nanny Ania said as put her hand gently on my shoulder.

Unconsciously I nodded as I bent down looking at the destroyed crimson orb earlier that I was using to see my attribute.

Ah, not even that was spared...

I thought as I looked around again.

She really wrecked it...

I can barely recognize it...

I lost in my thoughts subconsciously tried to pick the magic tool up not noticing the glass shards littered on the floor near it causing some shards to cut through my soft skin blood pouring out.

I heard Nanny Ania's voice shouting loudly in worry but it was silenced by my thoughts.

In the sudden momentum, the old woman yanked out the destroyed magic tool quickly from my hand unnoticingly causing a few cuts on her hand too.

She then threw it away as she held my hand and took a few bandaids from her pocket.

" Are you alright? I think it's best you come with us and get some better things to patch that up."

The old woman said but as Noelle started crying again she left the room telling me to stay still as she tried to find better first aid as well.

Once they left I held the orb again. Just hoping for maybe even just a spark. I wanted to see if there was really any hope in it...

As I expected nothing happened so I decided to leave the room to follow after Nanny Ania and Noelle after I heard them call me.

Leaving an empty room with little to my knowledge a subtle glowing bloody red lighted orb as the blood drops from my wound silently flickered.
