Chapter 23

Amelia woke to a knock on her door.

“Princess, it is time to get up.”

She looked around to find that her dream wasn’t true. The walls around her were green, not brown as they were at the farm or Dominic’s home in Strongfair.

“I’m up, Paula!”

Amelia got up and took care of her morning routine before she began to get dressed for the day. She sighed and longed for quiet again. No one knowing who she was, where she could be free and be herself rather than having to deal with the politics that came with being a princess. She loved cooking and working with her hands.

Not many knew this, but Amelia was able to cast magic. Well, she could as a last resort. When she was young and out adventuring, a monster tried its best to kill her. She had almost bled out, but a healer was able to prevent death and scarring. What she couldn’t fix was her mana pool and pathways, which were severely damaged. Amelia could now only perform low-grade spells, and a few at the most, before running out of mana. She was devastated when she realized that her adventuring days were over. This happened before she was betrothed and eventually married.

That event led to her decision to hone her archery and blade skills. She took it a step further and trained to be a ranger, so she could survive when out in the forest alone. She couldn’t rely on magic anymore to save her, nor anyone else, so this was the alternative. But seeing others casting grand-tier magic had caused her to be jealous. Even her own daughter being able to use magic had hurt her. Nevertheless, she smiled and supported Alyssa with her training.

Amelia shook those thoughts away and went back to reminiscing about the day she met Dominic. She snorted and shook her head. He was a prick to her that day, but he saved her life with a healing potion and poultices. At the time, she was hurting so badly that the only thing on her mind, other than her body failing, was that Alyssa had been taken. It had freaked her out, and she lashed out at him, but even with her fancy carriage and the knowledge that she bestowed upon him about her being a princess, he didn’t care. Lying there in the carriage when her body felt better, she thought about the man who had come out of nowhere to help. It had seemed fate involved itself in their lives.

Before the incident, Amelia told her daughter that she wanted to live somewhere peacefully where no one cared who she was, and she could live freely, away from the everyday life of nobility and the castle. It was a fantasy that she held onto, though she thought it would never come to fruition.

At first, Amelia only wanted to know who he was so that she could reward him, but her feelings changed after learning about her savior. She was amazed to hear about his ingenuity and creativity in relation to the items he invented.
