Private - Practice makes perfect or she dies

Within the confines of his quarters in Castle Dormont, with his arms folded, Seto sat in his chair baffled slightly at the scene that had taken form before him. Using the palm of his right hand as a arm rest for his head, he couldn't help letting out a sigh. Lesalia had told him she had been wanting to increase her skill in white magic for the upcoming invasion in a mere day or two so that she could use her magic to heal people If needed. Well from the scene he was seeing, that wasn't exactly going as planned. After the meeting with his retainers had transpired, He decided he would train Lesalia himself so he had her follow him to his personal quarters. Along the way as well he grabbed himself one of the local maid girls within castle Dormont as a practice dummy of sorts. The girl initially refused but came with him and Lesalia willingly when she knew she couldn't disobey a direct order from a Duke. Once they were in his chambers where he usually slept in, Seto had the maid stand in the middle of the room with Lesalia near her while Seto took a seat near the window, next to his bed. To get Lesalia the experience she needed, Seto summoned up the most basic of curses and casted it on the maid girl much to her surprise, she almost started to cry like she was going to die. Seto simply told Lesalia she had to use her white magic to cure the Maid of his curse or else she would die at some point later, this was far from the truth since it would take her days to die from the weakest curse he had but it seemed to have worked. The Maid girl was crying out of not wanting to die and Lesalia was trying her hardest to cure the girl so that she could save her

Despite the tears of the maid running down her face and onto the carpet in his room, she constantly begged for the Duke to remove the curse from her, he simply shrugged at her plea's, preferring Lesalia to finally cure of her supposed death. Since it was one of Astor's maid's after all, he wouldn't kill her or allow her to come close to death, this was just a training drill for his new healer. After shrugging his shoulders, he seemingly Ignored the two women in front and looked at the window showing the courtyard and a bit of the city itself before looking back at the two a few moments later.

Seto

"Lesalia, you must learn to use your magic under pressure. If you find this difficult with just me pulling the strings, you will find it impossible to perform your magic on the front lines or even survive for that matter, Do your very best or else your friends and comrades could die before you and will haunt you once they perish. Hmph who is to say how long this maid has yet to live, her fate is in your hands Lesalia."

Castle Dormont Maid

She kept running the water works but she didn't ask for the Duke to cure her anymore, seeing it as useless. She drove all her attention on the blue hair angel infront of her.

"Lady Lesalia, please save me! I don't want to die!"

@Lesalia Jehanna ​

 

"Why does Master want me to come to his bed chambers?" Her mind jumped at that idea! The idea of her Master wanting to do dirty things of forced her face to go all red! She wasn't prepared for this! In her mind, Lesalia's mind was jumping everywhere, scrambling to understand what was going on! Her mind was a mess but not her body so when her Master commanded her to follow, like a obedient little girl, she fell in line behind him and followed him. Lesalia was happy when her Master told her he was going to supervise her training in magic! That made her feel so much better there wasn't going to be any dirty stuff happening once they were alone! Why did a small piece of her want that? For an instant Lesalia grew sick of herself, having such dirty thoughts. Swaying her hips forwards and pushing her blue locks of hair behind her shoulder again as she followed her Master quietly down a hall."WHHAAA??? WAAAAIT!! ARE WE DOING DIRTY THINGS????? Oh no! I'm not ready to receive my Master!" That was her thoughts when her Master shocked her as he grabbed a little maid girl to come with them! " I'm supposed to receive my Master with another girl??!! Oh Master what shame!" She nearly fell over in defeat! She couldn't believe they were really going to be doing dirty things with another girl at the same time! Lesalia was sad now that she was being used for her Master's dirty mind and she thought she was an honorable man! She was so wrong! Or was she?

It was than when they were in his bedroom chambers did she learn the truth. Lesalia was stunned by her Master's actions! She was really happy this time he really did mean to help teach her to use white magic but why did he have to curse a maid? Lesalia really didn't like the idea very well, she went to smack her Master for doing it but she knew better. Lesalia watched helplessly as her Master took a seat and casted some ugly looking spell at the maid than told her the Maid would die soon If she didn't cure her! Her embarrassing happy smile went to a frownie! Lesalia was not happy about this! Lesalia initially panicked along with the innocent maid! She wanted to join in with the maid being sad but she knew she couldn't! The panic settled in but she wasn't going to allow it to beat her! This is what she wanted to do! She was gonna help this girl even If it killed her! She swore it on her grave! Pushing the girl down her butt, she pressed her hands on the maid's chest and tried as hard as she could to bring out her mana! "NOTHING?!!" She tried again, nothing! She wanted to say dirty words right now! She was getting mad now! The girl took notice of her failings and cried even more. Among the worst was her hair! Her long locks of hair kept getting in her way! She was getting really mad now! With a slap from her hand. her bangs were thrown past her shoulders again than her Master talked again. She was being lectured about not doing a good job? She understood what her Master was saying but com on now! She only joined the game a day or two ago! Putting the girl's life in her hands did not make her happy nor the Maid looking at her! This was not a good situation! She needed to focus so she removed her Master and the maid from her mind. She was gonna do this! She kept telling herself that as she kept pressing her hands on the maid's chest, trying to bring out her power! Lesalia wasn't going to give up!​

 

Seto could help but laugh as he smirked sitting in his chair. He tried his best to contain such a laugh in some attempt to not come off as a complete ass......So much for that. The Chuckles coming from his mouth were just great, his laughter got the attention of the Maid who began ever crying even harder. He really couldn't help with the scene before him, it was comedy gold as far as he was concerned.​

Castle Dormont Maid

The constant snickering from the Duke only confirmed the truth thst she was some guinea pig in whatever he planned! The idea of dying became a possibility to very much, all her mind could think about was the things she never yet experienced. This didn't stop her from crying just as hard before. She completely ignored the Duke, choosing to stare at Lady Lesalia.

"Lady Lesalia what's wrong? Aren't you his Grace's healer? Please! am begging you! I don't want to die! Am too young! I've never even met my prince charming yet...pout....Waaaggh!

While he did find this scene highly amusing to watch indeed and wanted to even record it for future entertainment purposes, he did feel slightly bad for the maid. He still understand why she thought she was going to die so quickly. If he wanted her dead, she would have either died by impalement of his Odachi's blade or she be dying from her body deteriorating from one of his rotting curses. She had it far easier than his enemies who weren't so fortunate in comparision. He also pondered on the thought how long would it take for Lesalia to figure out she could simply goto her UI and have the game do it for her? She did know it exist since she obviously got his message from earlier, maybe she didn't read up as much as she had stated but he didn't consider Lesalia a lier. A couple of minutes went by and still no result, Lesalia was really struggling to unlock her new abilities or at least goto the UI and unlock it. Eventually he sighed as he slid back into her chair to get comfy, this might take awhile. Perhaps he should educate her so she might get somewhere before the next century comes along? There were multiple ways to achieve using his energy but Seto always felt his was the easist per say since it was nothing more than breathing. All you needed to do was gather your energy in one spot than bring it to the surface in it's form.​

Seto

"Sigh.......Lesalia, this is not a difficult manner you know that right? Can you feel the energy that flows throughout your body? It will be faint since you are new but it is there. First, you need to feel your energy that runs through your veins like your very own blood. Once you get a grip on how it feels, I want you to make a centeral point within yourself. Using that centeral point, I want you to slowly gather what energy you can and have it move to your centeral point. Make sure your centeral hands are you hands so when the energy is in your hands, you can simply push it up, granting you the medicore power you seek. Remember your new so only draw energy from one small location, don't try to gather energy from all over or else you most likely fail. Learning proper energy control is key to using your magic manually and is far more efficent and useful in the long run."

Wanting to get a closer look after giving Lesalia, his healer some much need advice obviously, pulling himself forward, he pulled himself out of the chair and took his spot next to her, deciding to watch closely to see If she listened. He could also attempt to read her energy level by empowering his eyes but that was something he had never done before so that was a real risk. He shrugged at his own idea "Why not?" He muttered under his breath. Gathering the necessary energy required, he moved his energy throughout from his veins and into his eyes causing a vile purple aura to take form around his eyes.......yet he couldn't see anything........well crap basket, he temperory blinded himself.....so much for that. Well at least now It gave Lesalia more training now than before.​

Seto

"It seems I have.......blinded myself so after you are done healing the girl, you will need to heal my eyes Lesalia, I will be counting on you now."

 

This was harder than she thought! But why??!! She couldn't give up now!!?? Lesalia kept on telling herself. Someone's life was on the line! If she failed that person could die! She couldn't have that! Lesalia pressed harder and harder on the girl's chest praying someone! Anyone would help her! Than she heard the laughter coming from her Master in her chair! "Was this some sort of horrible game to him?" Her sentences ran to her mind over and over. She looked over to her Master. He was laughing so hard, she didn't understand why this was funny! Did he enjoy watching people die? Or did he like watching people struggle? She didn't understand but she was going to have a talk with him later about this! Lesalia swore she would! That just wasn't right! With the girl crying all the time, Lesalia just had to hug the girl for a minute! Lesalia had to see If she could make a difference and hugs always helped! She snuggled her arms around the girl. "Don't worry, I'm going to save you so don't don't worry! Leselia's snuggled her head against the maid. She was expecting the girl to calm down from the girl but it was the opposite in fact! The girl asked her If she was ok??!! Why would she be ok? Lesalia tried snuggling against the girl some more but she was pushed away! Instead the maid asked If she was really the Duke's healer! "That was mean!"Lesalia stack up her shoulders in anger. She couldn't believe she was being accused of being a bad person that lied! She would never lie! Lesalia really did want to help people! Just right now she was a noobie, she couldn't do anything about that! She gasped for air now disappointed. Hearing the girl's yelling for help to save her didn't make her feel any better but the moment the maid told her she never met prince charming did. Lesalia couldn't have her die when she never found her true love! That was horrible! She hadn't found her true love either but she didn't care!

Using all her focus Lesalia forcibly pressed her hands again on the girl's chest. For an instant, she felt a tinkling feel in her hands which made some glow! "OH my goodness! Was that? I felt something just now! And was that glow? Was that magic? How did I do that??!!" Lesalia giggled and smiled in celebration! It was for an instant but she did it! She managed to summon her magic! Now she just needed to find a way to actually use it! It was a good thing her Master say it as well since he came over next to her! Lesalia was wary how close her Master was, causing her to turn red again! Was he going do something dirty? Instead her Master wanted to be helpful! Lesalia couldn't help herself so he was! Lesalia was ok with that! She would try her best to listen. Her Master was smart, telling her she had to feel her energy first before she could use it. It sounded easy enough. Once she closed her eyes and slowed down her breathing and focused on it. In all of it she could feel her body pulse and her heart beating all the time but deep down she could feel water flowing through her? No it was something different? It was like her body had a number of tunnels with something flowing in them. Thats it! That had to be her Mana! That was what her Master was talking about! It had to be! She couldn't explain it very well but she could feel everywhere in her body like it was a constant river with no current. Next her Master told her she had to focus her energy in one specific spot like her hand bring it up! Lesalia wasn't sure how to do that but she was making progress! She wasn't going to stop now! Blocking everyone out but her Master from her mind, she placed her hands on her own chest finally. She could feel her mana from moving it would be hard. When her Master told her he blinded himself, she knew she had to learn this fast! Lesalia wouldn't allow her Master to go blinded with the invasion coming!

 

Seto considered it meaningless for Lesalia to try and comfort the maid, she wasn't going to die anytime soon and If even If she was, her body would have rotted away. If Lesalia wanted to save the maid, she would have to work fast or at least she thought. To Seto, it was still amusing to watch a girl hug another while trying to keep her calm for some reason in his mind. He didn't know exactly why he did but he did realize there was something probably wrong with him like there was in real life. Of course in response, the Maid just took Lesila hug without hesitation but it didn't make her any better, in fact, the complete opposite was happening with the maid girl questioning Lesalia If she was skilled enough to be his Healer. Seto couldn't help but grin slightly at her remark, it was a valid question after all. He was hoping of using the maid as a test subject for Lesalia to use. From what his eyes say, Lesalia wasn't happy either being called a lier, she was able to hide it well but from the rising of her shoulders and the swelling in her cheeks were enough to give away her anger. Laselia did eventually calm down and tried her luck again at healing the maid girl again. Seto's eye's widened somewhat for a split second when he saw Lesalia's hands pressed on the girl's chest, just for a moment there was a white glow! "She did it" He muttered to himself. It was only for a second but it was something or a good start at the least. Thankfully for his sanity as well Lesalia noticed it as well. What came next was the giggles that came out from her smile on her face.

It seemed his advice worked or was a good foundation for Lesalia to follow since she took it to heart. Seeing his advice was taken to heart, Seto decided to remain at her side in silence as Lesalia started to control her breathing in an effort to focus on her inner self. No matter how good Lesalia was, Seto calculated it would still take some time for her to be manually able to harness her power and use it like an extension of her body like he used his own magic. There was always the option in the UI to have the game perform the casting for you, making use of such skills as trivial but Seto believed it was far better to do it manually. Having someone or something to do it for you would make you reliant on that person or thing which would grant you a weakness you wouldn't be able to overcome easily and Lesalia here was no exception to the list. Judging by how relaxed Lesalia, Seto figured she must have been able to feel her energy run throughout her body but now it was time whether she had the ability yet to harness such power and use it in the form of healing. As before Seto remained silent at Lesalia's side as she continued to focus on the inner works of her body.​

 

There wasn't much time! Lesalia knew she had to work quick now! Lesalia couldn't picture what would happen to the land If her Master couldn't see! Lesalia would have to learn quick but first she needed to heal this poor girl in front of her! Lesalia now knew what her Master was talking about mana. She could feel her body enrich with mana but she had to learn how to control it. Lesalia wasn't quite sure how do it. Not really anyway. When she pressed her hands as hard as she could she could for an instant feel her mana in her hand. Her mana felt so warm and nice, she wanted to harness that power again! The only way Lesalia knew was to push hard on the girl while focusing on her mana? Maybe that was the trick? She didn't know but it was worth a try she thought. again. First Lesia cleared her mind again of any distraction than she pressed her soft and delicate hands on the girls chest again and pushed down as hard as she could. "Comme oonnn! CCOOMMMEEE ON!" Lesalia cried out as hard as she could, pressing down as hard as she could. Lesalia was starting to get frustrated but she had to stay calm! She just had had to or else she never get there! Lesalia closed her eyes again. She remembered the wise words of her Master. She remembered to focus on her mana that formed in her body like a river. She could feel it corse through her like a river, now she had to redirect it. Lesalia had to be on the right track or she thought? Lesalia now had to focus herself on her hands and bring it up. Lesalia couldn't explain it really but somehow in her body, her mind followed the flow of the river and redirected the flow to her hands. Everywhere in her body especially her hands felt all warm and smooth. Lesalia really didn't want to move from her spot."Wait a sec, am I doing it now?" Some to Lesalia, this feeling just felt so familiar she had to see. She shot her eyes. She couldn't believe her eyes!!! It was only for a few seconds but she saw it! Lesalia was so happy she saw the same white light again! Lesalia filled with so much happiness and joy she swung her arms around her Master and snuggled her head into his shoulder until she realized how wrong that was. She pulled away with her face as red as a tomato! Lesalia was so embarrassed! She couldn't believe she did that! Without thinking again, Lesalia turned back to her Master.
"Mas, Master am so sorry for hugging you. I was just so excited I was able to use my mana for a few seconds. Am almost there master! I know it! With some practice I'll get there! You just watch! I'll be the best healer ever!"

 

It was easy to tell from his eyes, Lesalia wasn't calm in her training, she was starting to get frustrated by all her effort getting thrown out the door. He couldn't particularly say he cared much at the moment If she couldn't harness her power. He did want his healer to learn how to use her own energy to heal but at this point he didn't think she be ready for the invasion. After all she couldn't barley even feel her energy running throughout her body, If she couldn't even do that than what the point of being even a mage? Still, Seto knew he couldn't underestimate the determination of a person by the display of their abilities alone. He knew that better than anyone with the large amount of close death experiences he had since his spawning in this world. He would keep some faith in Lesalia to see If she could overcome her weakness. It seemed his faith wasn't misplaced as his eyes and sense's began to feel the warmth in the air around him. He was still blind so he couldn't see per say but he could feel magical energies in the air and it wasn't him so did Lesalia finally unlock her ability to use her magic? Unfortunately for the both of them, the energy he felt in the air disappeared after a moment so Seto sighed in disappointment. She still didn't unlock her ability to cast magic manually but at least she understood or had some grasp how to harness it in a centeral point, now all she needed to do was to bring it to a certain spot in her body to harness.

"Ugh" Out of nowehere, Seto felt the embrace of Lesalia's arms squeezing around him tightly, he couldn't see but considering what just happened, who else would hug him? When Lesalia apologized for embracing him without asking, Seto simply shrugged in response since there wasn't much he could do about it within reason and he stil needed to be treated.

Seto

"It's not a big deal so I wouldn't worry about it. The only thing that's important right now Lesalia is that you learned the first step to manually casting magic. Finding the energy within you was only the first step. The next step after focusing your energy in one spot is to bring it up or harness it. You are getting closer now to unlocking this, you just need far more training now. For now you could only harness your energy for a second or two but I imangine in an hour or a few, you should be able to manually cast spells easily."

 

"Riiigghhtt! Thank you Master for your kind words and understanding! I going to keep practicing until I can do the magic I need to protect everyone no matter what!" She giggled and cheered her arms up into the sky at her effort so far! But now wasn't the time to take a break! She needed to get back to training! She looked down to see the maid. "Oh my goodness! I almost forgot about you!" Lesalia somehow forgot all about the Maid! She had lying on her back this entire time! And she didn't make a peep! She was amazed how quiet this girl was even though she could by dying right now! It only gave Lesalia more determination to work harder now! Lesalia didn't want to waste anymore time so she threw her hands on the poor girl's chest and digged her hands into her skins. the poor girl let out a moan! Again she could feel her body filled to the max with mana she could harness. She closed her eyes and emptied her mind. When Lesalia focused, she could feel her mana in her hands again which felt so warm and nice in her hands. She needed to harness it again! Lesalia focused everything she had and pushed even harder against the poor girl's chest! Distractions and distractions kept getting into her mind but Lesalia wasn't going to have any of it! Not if her gentle hands had anything to do with it! Her hands were starting to hurt from pushing down but she didn't care If she started to cry from the pain! She had to do this! She had! Lesalia kept on telling herself. She had to use the wise words her Master told her. "First I need to feel my mana. After that I must drag to a point. To my hands than finally bring it up!" Lesalia started to talk herself in a way to keep herself focused on what she was doing and it was working! Lesalia used her hand as the checkpoint and sent what she could to her hands than she would bring it up into her hands to use. Her mind wondered down the current of the river and followed. Her mind followed the current until there was two breakaways rivers being made. Lesalia knew what to do! In her own mind, she split herself into two copies of herself and went there own ways. Again she could feel her hand all warm to the touch. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her hands were glowing white! She was doing it! She was really doing it! Lesalia almost couldn't believe her eyes! Her eyes watched the poor maid's curse mark on her neck started to disappear! After just a few moments the curse mark on the girl's neck disappeared! The girl on the ground blinked twice and stared at Lesalia who smiled back! she jumped and hugged Lesalia!
"Thank you Lady Lesalia! Thank you so much for getting rid of that curse mark! I'm so relieved I get the chance now to meet my prince charming!" Lesalia swung her arms around the girl too! She was happy too! She really did it! "Your so very welcome! It was my pleasure to help! Master do you hear her! She's cured now which means I did it!"

 

Seto sighed after she had thanked him for his words. He wasn't angry or annoyed with her, Seto just began to grow tired of this constant training with little results. He was thrilled that she wanted to serve him seriously but of course, she had to come at the worst time possible....right before an invasion. Seto wanted to curse himself but he couldn't be surprised how things turned out, this was normal for his luck after all If he even had some which he began to question to himself. Lesalia's optimism was always a nice distraction from his annoyance but he did wish Lesalia could take things a bit more serious and lay off the playful quirks and habits a child had, especially with that giggling and wanting to hug everyone she was near. He was disgusted by the fact all these quirks were starting to remind him greatly of Sola. Well at least in her defense, she wasn't a complete moron like Sola was who couldn't use her brain to save her life and she wasn't a whore to his knowledge......well maybe besides for him...not that he wanted that! Seto would have lied to himself though If he said Lesalia wouldn't have sexual intercourse with him IF he asked, hell she probably jump at the chance besides for being embarrassed. Shaking his head, he removed such lewd thoughts from his mind before trying to see anything.....Still nothing! Talk about being an idiot huh? Seto couldn't believe he still blinded himself with dark magic. He knew it would eventually wear off his eyes, allowing him to see again but still it was a major pain and he couldn't use his magic to remove it, he would have to wait until Lesalia was capable of finally harnessing her energy within her body. Joining his hands together under his Kimono's sleeves, Seto waited in silence. In the next several minutes, he heard nothing but the aggravation and the self-inflicted pain Lesalia brought upon herself as she continued onwards with her training but perhaps it was working?

After a few minutes had erupted past them, Seto heard Lesalia speaking to herself as IF she was using his words for guidance which made him smirk. Seto was pleased she was still using his words to help her manually use her powers and she must have been getting close since she had already done it several times before. It had to be only a matter of time before he believed Lesalia would be able to harness her power on the good at her command. He certainly couldn't see very well or well at all honestly but he didn't to feel the energy she was emitting from her body that was rushing to her hand, now he only figured it now to be a battle of the mind, If her mind could process on how the energy flows through her body and how to use it then it would be finally unlocked permanently for her to use. Seto sighed again slightly when he heard giggles again coming from Lesalia but that only had to mean one thing, she must have done it again or gotten closer. Seto's suspicions were confirmed when he heard someone to get up and tackle someone? That proved to be the Maid whom seemed to tackled Lesalia in excitement since he could hear the maid girl thanking her as If her life was truly in danger. He could imagine those two were most likely hugging each other, just the feeling was making him sick and with the addition of giggling didn't help either for that matter. When Lesalia presumably turned to face him and tell him the good news, Seto laid his right hand on her forehead and patted her gently back and forth, making sure not to mess her hair's bangs up.

Seto

"A job well done Lesalia. It may not be much now but you have just learned how to manually harness your energy from your body and use it to cast spells. For someone who had just joined only a few days ago, that is something to be proud of but remember.....On the fields of battle in war, there will many factors that will test to see If you can focus and use your magic while wounded or under tremendous stress.....Even I'm not perfect myself. Due to the past, even I give in to my stress and lose it. Melee combat on its own is stressful due to many reasons but trying to perform magic and melee at the same time can be deadly for some and fatal for others. When the time comes I need to rely on you, I will need you at your best and be ready for the horrors of war."

Seto smirked again before chuckling quietly to himself.

"Now Lesalia dear, I know you're excited that you just finished your first healing but your duty or rather your training isn't over yet. You have cured the maid whom may now go If she wished but do remember I am still blind so your next duty is to cure me. Let's begin shall we hmm? I'd rather not be blind for when the invasion begins now.""

 

Lesalia was so happy she managed to heal the innocent girl! The girl was so able happy too! After Lesalia pulled away, the innocent girl got up, bowed and took her leave so she could return to her duties.What was Master doing? Lesalia closed her eyes as her Master's hands came towards her! She was expecting something bad! When Lesalia finally opened her eyes, she didn't get slapped? She was being patted? Her eyes showed her Master's hand on her head petting her hair. Lesalia couldn't help it but blush at what was happening! Her Master was so close and he was touching her! That wasn't even the worst part! She became red as a tomato when her Master told her she did a good job! Lesalia couldn't contain her excitement! She couldn't believe Master complimented her on learning the skills she needed! She was so happy she could die! Her master also gave his Healer some advice and insight. He explained to her that while working under pressure like a battlefield she would find it much harder to use her magic since she could be wounded or too stressed out. Lesalia was amazed her Master admitted he was not perfect in this area! Really? Lesalia was really surprised since how strong her Master was. If he couldn't master it, how would she? She removed those thoughts from her head! She wouldn't let herself think like that! When her Master told her he would need to rely on his power Lesalia smiled back at him with her head tilted."Yes Master, I understand. Rely on me as you see fit. I will help you in any way I can. She swore she would help her Master in any way she could, it was her duty and she couldn't fail that! Suddenly she could feel her body tired. Now that she thought of it, Lesalia felt tired from using so much mana. She didn't realize how much effort was needed to use magic or to heal people. It was suddenly hard for Lesalia to breath which caused her to fall to her knees for an instant. Her Master sighing caught her attention which made her look up at see his smirk. Lesalia gasped out loud when her Master told her she needed to heal him! Oh no! She couldn't let her Master be blind during the invasion! Lesalia ignored her tired body and jumped to her feet! She placed her hands on her Master's eyes. "Yes Master! Don't worry I will heal your eyes! I won't stop trying until you can lead everyone in battle."

 

Well Seto would be lying to himself If he said Lesalia didn't inspire to be a little like her with being a postive and nice person yet at the same time such emotions made him feel uneasy unless it was Alia or Oliva than it didn't bother him. Lesalia on the other hand wasn't quite there and would take some time before she would on their level If she ever would. While Seto did consider Lesalia beautiful as the heavens, he did not yet see her as a romantic interest although he would admit she would prove an excellent mother and role model for their children If he ever chose to have kids, something that was down the line. Having a family was not an objective at the moment since he needed to build his Duchy first with at least a town and a castle before thinking about such a thing, perhaps than Lesalia would make a good match? Even If he choose not to reproduce with her to have children, like hell he was going to allow any man to have sexual innercourse. Seto sighed at such thoughts, he couldn't believe he was really having these thoughts within his mind, this topic did always hurt him more than he was comfortable with. Seto shook his slightly in both directions, he just wanted to forget his love life at the moment which seemed to do the trick when Lesalia placed her hands on his eye lids and reasured him she would heal his eyes so he could lead the troops in battle. She did heal the maid girl whom ran out of his quaters in Castle Dormont but he wasn't completely sure Lesalia had a grip on her ability to manually use magic yet but as long as she cured him of his blindess, he figured it would be good enough for one day since the invasion was set to begin in a few days at the most.​

Seto

"I see.....Well I believe in you Lesalia, my little angel, I believe you can heal me. You cured that maid girl of her curse so you should be able to do this as well.

Just reemember to gather your energy in one place than bring it to a focus point like your hands and channel it to the surface than what you want to imbue. You achieved much in a short time so I believe you get there eventually, we have plently of time before the invasion so am cofident my angel can heal me before than."

 

Lesalia was puzzled when her Master turned away and sighed. She wondered why he was sighing? What was he thinking of? Did he think she wasn't good enough to heal him? Maybe he was thinking dirty thoughts? There was so many things, Lesalia didn't know what to think. Whatever her master was thinking it went away when she placed her warm hands on his eye's, her Master went quiet again before telling her he believed in her and called her his little angel! Lesalia nearly fainted! She couldn't believe what her Master just said! what did this mean? Did he love her? She didn't know he cared this much for her! Such words! It was almost too much for Lesalia to handle! "NO!" Lesalia yelled at herself in her mind! Lesalia knew she had to focus! She told her Master she was gonna heal him and that was something she was going to do darnit! Lesalia cleared her mind of all the girly thoughts she had about romance. She brought up the last piece of advice her Master gave to her about how to use her energy. She focused herself, she closed her eyes, zoning out everything. She could feel the rivers of life flowing through her, she just had to redirect the flows of the river to a point. It took all her effort to do it, it was draining on her mind but she managed to do it! Lesalia could feel the flow of her rivers twirling in one point now she just needed to open the doors to her hands so it could flow easily to them. Opening the doors was so hard it made Lesalia sweat as she began to tire out but she wasn't giving up! Slowly but surely with a little push of her mind the flow of her life river pushed through the door and down the flow went. Unlike last time it was proving hard for Lesalia to focus since she had already done this once before but she wasn't going to give up! Despite the pain her body was starting to feel she pushed through it and pushed her energy from her hand and into her Master's body to his eyes. She could feel the corrupted flows of twirling of rivers in his eyes. It was much larger than what was in the innocent girl she just healed. That wasn't the worst part! When she tried to start, she began feeling dark and cold mana deep within Seto! The sudden find caused her mind to hear a fercois roar which sent her back on her feet. "Och! What was that?"Her mind became puzzled, she had no idea what just happened or what that entity was in her Master's body. She rubbed her head than looked at her master. "I'm sorry Master, I was close but something threw me off! When I began distilling my healing mana into your eyes I could feel some dark and cold presence deep inside you. I don't know how but it roared at me and sent me back! Do you know what it is?"

 

Seto

He could feel her hands against his eyes, the warm energy that flowed throughout her bodies networks was flowing into his eyes, he could initially see the dark energy beginning to clearing up, allowing him to see somewhat in the form of blurry vision when the healing immediately stopped and he heard Lesalia fall flat on her behind with a remark to match. What came next, however, was a bit of a surprise honestly when Lesalia began talking about feeling a dark presence and asked him what it was. He, of course, knew what it was that gave her such a scare but he didn't know If she would be ready to hear such news. The thought of lying to his retainer was in his mind but why do that? Lesalia proved to be faithful and loyal to him, shouldn't he do the same? What example would be made by lying? His mind was made up, he would tell her the truth, It would be upto her whether she could accept it and handle it. She would most likely be like that idiotic Sola who would try and heal him but just her futile attempt, it would prove useless with her skill level. Seto took a seat in a chair and took a deep breath in an effort to relax his muscles before explaining the tale of the past that had granted him such darkness.

"What you ask.........What you ask is difficult for me to answer for multiple reasons.........If you wish to learn the truth, you must first learn the origins....of such a fact......It is....or was....a dark period in my life on Terrasphere. Since you shown such faith and loyality to me, I feel you should only know the truth and no lies, let there be no doubts in your mind in my origins now.

That coldness, that vile presence you felt living in me, you felt the monster that lives within me, my body acts as a cell to contain such a beast and his power. If he would ever be able to roam freely peramently, there would such a loss of life and destruction that even I wouldn't be able to explain or handle....such power, no normal mortal should have. But how did I get such a beast to live within me? Now that is a tale that is only heard in a fantasy so listen close Lesalia.

Long ago.....when I was just a young warrior on Terrasphere, a novice at best.....on one night while I slumbered at a inn, a women or a powerful witch by the name of Merkaba whom....casted a horrendous spell that seemingly found my body out of the thousands of players present at the time and took control over me, consumed me alive in that night, in that moment that monster, Kurama was created from the ashes of darkness and used my body as a host. When I awoke the next morning, that monster took command of my body, forcing me to watch from the backseat of my mind as we traveled the lands to Norforva where I meet that witch.....Merkaba's deamon swore me to alligned myself into her service which seemed to please her greatly. It didn't take long for take assume control over Kurama and me in a way forcing Kurama to take control and act as her sword........The things I witnessed....should never be seen by such a person. I watched helpssly as Kurama slaughtered entire villages and towns in the name of the Dark Gods as well as the endless killing and rape of the innocent and yet in the end when it was over, it was only I who stood alone, blamed for the atrocities that I caused. With such actions, I was dubbed a monster with being a Fiend Knight being a polite term to use in my presence.

Even with the presumed death or disappearance of Merkaba and her Order destroyed with even Kurama sealed away with me, I must carry that burdan and that burdan alone until that beast is destroyed...........Such an event has only inspired me further to make Ivalice a paradise for all......but even I realize I have succubed to the Darkness, there is no turning back, there is redemption for me so If I must be consumed by the darkness to being peace and prosperity to Ivalice so be it."
