Chapter 161

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

The physician was instructed to keep us in the loop and from what I heard, the man was doing better. He was still weak and couldn’t walk on his own but he was healing. Ryker was still pis sed about my little stunt and wouldn’t let me see the man. I could have pushed but I knew better than to do that. His worry was not baseless or unfounded neither was he being overbearing. He wasn’t preventing me from going anywhere, he just ensured that I stayed under the heavy and watchful gazes of Steven and Kevin. The only other person who knew what had happened was Loris and it was only so that he could help me train my powers, so far though, we were coming up empty.

“I think I want to stop,” I said after another failed attempt and he frowned.

He had gotten a single ear of corn from the affected farmland and that was what we used to train. Whatever was in those plants was a lot stronger than me and I hated the constant reminder. I crossed my arms over my chest when I saw Loris’ disappointed gaze. I should have been bothered by it but I couldn’t bring myself to

care.

“If you give up all the time, how do you expect to gain control over it?” he asked and I rolled my eyes.

“I haven’t gotten full control of my elemental powers. The last thing I need is to have something else to master.”

“Quite the contrary I believe, I think it is exactly what you need. Have you even used your powers in recent times?” he asked and I shook my head. He gestured forward and it took me a minute to realize that he wanted me to try. I immediately shook my head.

“No, I think I’m done for the day.”

“We still have five minutes until your training comes to an end. Unfortunately your majesty, until those five minutes are up, I am in charge.”

I raised a brow. “That is a bold statement to make.”

“It is the truth, go ahead, do something.”

I flicked my wrist and the lake rose up into a large wall. I glanced over at Loris who had the audacity to look unimpressed. I twirled it into the shape of a large horse and he yawned. I let it drop and crossed my arms over my chest before turning to

“Water out of the ground,” he instructed and I scoffed. “I would like to believe that I am doing something right in my teachings.”

“I could argue that you aren’t,” I dusted the dirt off my pants. “Your five minutes are up, Loris. I will see you tomorrow, or not.”

I started to walk away and he said nothing until I had gotten towards the entrance of the palace. “Fearing your powers will do nothing for you, Camilla. You need to try. Failing doesn’t mean you are weak, it is the only way you will grow.”

I didn’t turn back or say a word. I just walked away.

Steven and Kevin were instantly flanking my sides but I ignored them. The only thoughts in my mind were of Loris’ words. Was he right? I wasn’t quite sure but I just needed some space. I wasn’t scared of my powers or of failing, I just had a lot to worry about right now and mastering water was not one of them.

“Your majesty,” a voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see an unfamiliar man walking up to me. Steven and Kevin made their way closer but I held out a hand to stop them.

“Who are you?”

“I suppose you wouldn’t remember me,” he chuckled lightly.copy right hot novel pub
