Magic is her gift ( Prince’s Love) Chapter 33
On cue, magenta eyes flicked toward her, unreadable. Perhaps there was some sort of relief there, but it was gone in an instant.“You requested my presence?” she asked.Lavender eyes flew toward her too. “That was me. My brother thinks I tried to kill him. I figured a torture machine shouldn’t be the only thing questioning me.”Uncertainty simmered within her and Brian’s silence was dreadful. But the small, subtle nod from him had her feet moving closer toward them until she was standing beside Alicia.“I will ask her the same questions. Over and over,” he said. “Do what you must.”There were no further instructions, and instinct rioted at releasing her magic when the court hadn’t been the most welcoming of it. But she nodded, too, and knelt, easing energy into her fingers. They glowed, dimmer than the device’s glow. She bit her tongue when the larger energy in the room sensed hers and crowded around her, a crawling sensation that pushed her back.Mabel directed more into her feet unt

“He is.”“You don’t look fine,” she repeated.He said nothing.“You haven’t slept…was that you? I felt someone puttering about outside at dawn.” She didn’t mention that she had heard Alicia outside, too, just hours before that, not wanting to add salt to the wound. “You haven’t slept at all. You were busy guarding me and Yu.”“Maybe I was just waiting for you to invite me in.”The words had heat simmering in her belly, a gentle nudge that threatened to flourish. She noted the teasing in his tone, one that didn’t align with what had transpired earlier.“You always joke around when you feel vulnerable. But you can’t fool me, Brian.”The teasing faded and he frowned down at her. A hand went up, fingering her hair and parting it so he could see her face more clearly.“Can you read me now,Mabel? Do you know what I’m thinking about?”Her cheeks flushed. Like a switch flicked again, the heat spread until she was throbbing from it, intensified when he leaned in to sniff her hair. When he back

“Lavender and magenta are the court’s official colors, other than the icy blue we often show to the public,” the woman explained. “This is a shade in between and would show respect to our future ruler, whichever of the two takes the crown in the end.”“It’s too short.”A cool sensation touched her knees. Mabel watched as the hem lengthened, fluttering around her skin and draping to the ground.“Too long,” Mabel said, biting back a grin at Emma’s eyeroll.“You’re lucky I like you,” the woman declared before shortening the dress until it was just below her knees. Mabel twirled again, the layers of sheer material moving with her.“Even if I’m not a magic?”“You know what to say and when to show your emotions. You know when to push your agenda and when to back off, and you can hold your own against our more malicious peers. You can be vicious, too, when it calls for it. You’re already acting like a magic.”“Oh,” she said, unsure how to react. It never sank into her mind that the qualities

“I do,” she agreed. “But you weren’t acting like this until I mentioned going home.”“I was helping you out of your dress as a friend would. I was keeping a respectful distance as a friend would. I was keeping to my promise. Isn’t that what you want?”“I…” She hesitated. “Yes. Brian—”“You don’t belong here,Mabel. That’s clear to both of us.”The argument died a swift death inside her, leaving her numb.“Yes,” she found herself saying. “I don’t belong here.”His mouth tightened and his shoulders tensed, but they were gone and he was giving her an apologetic look.“I’m—”“Don’t apologize,” she cut in. “I’m the one being a pain in the ass tonight.”“You’re not a pain,” was all he said. “Are we good?”“Yeah.”“Good. Goodnight.”“Goodnight, Brian.”He was unaffected, perhaps even relieved that no arguing ensued and they could leave the topic alone. He sounded like her staying or leaving didn’t matter to him at all, not in the least, and the hurt that bloomed in her chest had no right bein

No.”“Brian—”“Not now. I’m so close and your mouth is top-tier fantasy. I want you to come first.”She blinked when she was flipped, then frowned when her legs were nudged apart. She opened her mouth to protest and melted into a puddle of blankness when a head moved in, then a tongue, licking her from end to end before diving in. Then there was more licking, lapping, and even a few fingers thrusting before he sucked. Her feet pressed against his back when he encouraged them to rest there, opening her further until he was feasting on her with his mouth, tongue, and fingers. She writhed from the pleasure, then stilled when his hand pressed against her stomach to lock her in place. His fingers curled and his lips latched on to her clit, sucking even harder—The orgasm took her apart, rocking her world with stars and a spasm of pleasure after pleasure. When she came down from her high, their positions were different again and Mabel was kissing her, smug and pleased with himself. But the

I see. I don’t think the prince would like cheap.”“It will help you save on cost since I’m not going to be here for long. How about your most common material?”“I don’t think sheer and transparent clothing will hide those hickeys you have everywhere.”Mabel gaped at Alicia , who had said it so casually and was jotting studiously on a notebook.“Mabel …how about non-common material?”Her cheeks burned, but the older magic was unperturbed.“We have those too. Not as cheap, but then again, nothing’s cheap here. Us Winter magic spare no expense. Now, stretch your arms. I don’t know their length yet.”Alicia took measurements, never mentioning the hickeys again. Just as the measurements were jotted down, a bell sounded from a distance and cracked the ice on the walls. Mabel frowned, puzzled. Alicia’s hands went slack, dropping the notebook.“Alicia?” Alarm coursed through Mabel when the woman’s face turned ashen. “What’s—”“There’s another death in the court.”Mabel did her best to sound

“We can ask, not order. Later. I’m sure she’s with Yu now…”He trailed off when he glimpsed a figure out of the corner of his eye, flying in a frenzy. The pixie would have slammed against his head if he hadn’t sidestepped. He reached out to pluck the guy’s wings when Yu was about to hit a tree, gently redirecting him.“Yu, what are you doing here? What—”“Mabel. Help.”Fear coated Yu’s tone. It fed Brian’s enough that he didn’t bother to ask questions, already running until Yu was leading the way. Alicia followed behind them, a frown marring her lips. She gasped when they reached a clearing, but he barely heard her as he took in the cracked icy pond and destroyed tree barks.Traces of blood led out of the clearing, along with footprints. He quickened his pace, leaving the two behind and feeling sick to his stomach when the blood drops grew thicker and the tracks became sluggish. Then up ahead was the shoreline, which their court avoided as too many creatures liked to portal in and out

He kept himself distracted, even when Mabel remained in his mind. Then the investigation took a turn when the magic user’s body disintegrated into ash and a chain reaction occurred. One week later, he finally had substantial news for Mabel.“The magic user’s body disintegration caused all of his remaining energy to disintegrate, too, including the spells he placed on others.”“Emma?” she guessed.He nodded. “The energy wall inside him has been lifted. He confessed to more crimes and confirmed the magic user’s identity, as well as working with the man. After watching the magic user orchestrate two of the deaths, Emma also gave an account of how the magic user would have made the other deaths seem like accidents or natural causes.”“Teeth and being mauled to death, so we would blame other creatures,” she cited.“Yes.”“Why?”“He was offered a better position and more access to power.”“Which court?”“That’s the thing. He doesn’t know which court, only that it was a major court. The magi
