The thought of using magic in new ways was wonderful to Rue, but it also caught the attention of a certain someone who had been lingering outside their door. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Librarian Barry, welcome. Would you like to join us?" Karl asked as he sensed the dragon about to knock.
The blue dragon stared in wonder at the open field that Karl had turned the apartment into.
"That would be lovely. I see that you already started with the showing off your power portion of the lesson." The blue dragon replied, unashamed of being caught eavesdropping.
Then, a second dragon appeared at the end of the hall, and Crown Prince Lukas followed the Librarian into the room.
"Oh, this is wonderful, isn’t it? The illusions feel so real. I can even smell the flowers in the clearing. Avatar, I do hope you won’t mind if I sit in on the training session?" He asked.
"Of course not. It’s not secret knowledge, even if it is private tutoring." Karl agreed.
"Now Rue, Cara just used a spell on you, did you notice?"
Rue frowned at Karl’s words. She didn’t feel any different, and she hadn’t felt any magic.
But when she looked down, her pockets were turned inside out.
"The pocket thing is for dramatics. The [Pilfer] spell is a most wonderful bit of sorcery, which I will teach you soon.
When others are looking to make trouble for you, they will often seek to plant evidence, or steal a valuable item that has been left in your care. But with the pilfer spell, you can discretely remove it from them, and place it in your storage.
If the incriminating evidence is not found where they say it will be, it doesn’t take long for others to realize that the whole thing was a setup.
Now, Sister Cara is a master at placing items in other’s pockets as well, but that is not a skill that I would ask a Princess to learn. Nor is it one that would be officially approved by any Royal Court. So, the next thing that you are going to need is a confidant.
If you have one person that you can trust implicitly, they can take care of the dirty work for you."
Crown Prince Lukas chuckled as Karl finished his speech, and Rue turned to him with eager eyes.
"Is what he says true? Do you have a person like that?" She pleaded.
Lukas smiled and patted her on the head. "Of course I do. You know Nyx."
Rue frowned. "I thought that Nyx was your consort? Like, your mistress, but without the fake promises or the intention to marry."
Lukas’ face went suspiciously blank, while Librarian Barry began to laugh.
"Princess, Nyx is not a lady of the court. Nyx is an Incubus with a fondness for bold and dramatic makeup." The blue dragon explained softly.
Princess Rue just shrugged. "Is there a difference? My mother was an Elf."
