Encounters pt. 6

"And the day when magic was sealed…" I whispered in a trance.

That's right. The day of the founding was also when that founder of the tower had sealed everyone's magic abilities, with a few exceptions. 

It's the reason why Janus decided to show up at the ball to commemorate that day. The Emperor had specifically given the tower a special gift in memory of Solomon. After all, what he did stopped the war that lasted for hundreds of years.

"Ohh? You read the history books, huh?" Janus says while grinning.

'Ah, but he's handsome though… Ahem.'

'Wow. Calling him that feels strange…'
