『••✎••』

Jennette was pondering, these bad thoughts kept clinging onto her ever since she was sent to the agriche, but nonetheless she forced herself to think anything positive as she knocked on the door, and entered the room cassis is in

But, his expression seems bad as well, every time she visits, as promised she kept telling him what usually happens until he told her yesterday that it was fine, and she can stop telling him about what the agriche has been up to these days

" H-hello..! I've brought your food, I tried to add more into it since you've always been eating porridge.. " Jennette exclaimed, as she put the food to a rather working and stable table beside his very 'clean' bed

The expression cassis is having right now, it worries Jennette as she doesn't know how to help him, if she could, she would but there are some stuff jennette cannot do

Practically useless...

" Lady jennette, please sit down.. I have a rather sensitive question to ask you " Cassis suddenly spoke, the atmosphere is making jennette anxious but listened well to his sort of request and sat down on his bed, far away from him but close enough for her to hear him

The expression of cassis suddenly grimaced at his thoughts, as he sighed

' Was it a really sensitive topic for him to hesitate to just ask me out of the blue?.. ' Jennette thought, as she frowned slightly, trying to prepare herself for the sensitive question that he wanted to ask

" Did you ever know that you were made from Black magic? "

" huh... "

Jennette blanked out, as she was not expecting that question at all, she was made from... black magic?..

She tilted her head slightly in confusion, as somehow the lights that were shining everyday in her eyes, disappeared, vanishing as if it wasn't there all her life

Through her ups and downs, never once her light vanished but it did, right now, finding out the truth of her birth

" I'm.. Sorry to say, but, Lady Jennette as far as I can tell, you are not human, well you are, look like one at least, you aren't exactly a demon either, I could guess you were made to be a tool of some sort " Cassis tried to explain, but he also don't know what she is, as he grimaced at the fact he just said something he shouldn't have to an innocent passerby

Although she was just a passerby, he couldn't help but at least inform her as she was one of the people roxanna cares about, although roxanna didn't tell him that, but the way she speaks or look at jennette says so otherwise

" Then... What exactly am I?... " Jennette asked, as she started to play with her fingers, trying to distract herself, the news was too much for her to handle, it aches her heart

Did sir Roger know? She thought to herself, if he had known, was that the reason for his actions??.. No, she shouldn't jump into conclusions like this

Cassis noticed her discomfort, as he willingly said " You should take a rest, what I must've asked or told already took a toll on you, take a rest for  a while " and with that, Jennette left his room quietly,

Her eyes that shone like the brightest of stars, turned dim as the night without stars, Tears didn't fall, as if the tears dried up that there were no tears left behind for her to shed to

Made from black magic..? How can a monster like her even wish for a family? Jennette cringed at herself, wanting for a family when she wasn't even a human, a being that was made to be a tool

There was no enthusiasm in her left, as she walked soulless, it did took a toll on her, no matter the situation, Jennette could've helped herself and regain herself but now, it felt utterly useless as the negativity of here took over

When she had arrive at her room, Lewell suddenly appeared, as she announced that Jennette has visitors and they were at the drawing room,

Jennette nodded, as she followed lewell to the drawing room, her dress was rather still clean after all she did took a bath just before, and as soon as they reached the drawing room, she heard unexpected voices

" Lady Jennette has arrived " Lewell announced, as she opened the door for jennette who still walked calmly

" Jennette..! " Athanasia happily called, as she quickly hugged Jennette, not planning on letting go at all " Are you alright? I was worried! " she asked, as she hurriedly inspected Jennette all over to check if she has wounds or bruises

Jennette felt warm, as a little shine in her eyes returned, she smiled  " I'm okay, I didn't know you were visiting, princess "

She then told lewell to close the door, as jennette sat down beside Athanasia, looking over to the other sofa, was none other than Ijekiel and a child... lucas?..

Jennette has now a lot of questions,

" I know what you're thinking, I look tiny, I know, we know, everybody knows! " Lucas huffed, it seems he was still mad that he was forced to be a kid for whatever reason Athanasia didn't tell him but still followed because it's her

Ijekiel was... just smug after seeing lucas's situation, as if he was having rather a lot of fun

" Jennette... " Athanasia suddenly called, as she held jennette's hand tighter, wanting to confirm if she was alright at all

Jennette just smiled at her warmly, " I'm alright, princess " she assured, " But.. There is something I want to ask though "

Athanasia then started to get anxious, did something happen while she was staying here? Did she had a realization of something that she wanted to ask us because it felt like the right time to ask her about it????

" Am I... Really made from black magic..? "

Athanasia and ijekiel eyes widened, as the air suddenly felt cold, out of all of them, Lucas was the only calm one, so he decided to answer her question

" Yes, that's correct " Lucas answered, as he sipped his tea, as if he didn't just drop the reality bomb to jennette " You're like a tool made from it, not exactly easy to use but if you were using or learning black magic all your life that could be even more possible to do "

Athanasia tightened her hold on Jennette's hand as she saw her cousin's expression, ijekiel who wasn't even aware, stared at the princess and the magician in shock, as he wanted more explanation

After all, no one knew of her birth except of her father and mother, but athanasia knew because she read 'lovely princess' while lucas was the master of the magic tower who slept for 200 years

Ijekiel was a bystander who doesn't even use magic, so it was inevitable to know about jennette being made from black magic

" .. So I'm just a tool?.. " Jennette out of nowhere asked, as athanasia tried to deny her thoughts and assure a lot of stuff to jennette

After all, what was she?..
