Cassandra learns the truth

Listening to Trey's words and voice, she could not catch any negative emotions in him towards Samantha and his words that she had not lost her friend made Cassandra smile.

She had previously doubted the correctness of her decision, but after talking to Trey alone and seeing him in a new light, she did not regret her decision.

Getting out of bed, Cassandra went to the door to call Keirin, she didn't know what Trey wanted to discuss, but she was interested in what he wanted to discuss with them.

While waiting for Cassandra to call Keirin, I wondered what to do next, I didn't like feeling weak and the training fight with Professor Ni'lim taught me a lesson that you shouldn't put everything only on a spell, everything has weaknesses and strengths.

First of all, I needed to collect information about the abandoned lands, perhaps there will be more information about the cursed swordsmen, I also needed to find out the participants of the tournament from my academy, although I was a backup, but anything can happen there. I also wanted to continue training fights with Professor Ni'lim, I have already attracted too much unwanted attention to myself, you need to be prepared for the fact that someone will be interested in me.

Everything has consequences, but you can be prepared for them or hope that everything will pass you by.

Hearing the door open again, I looked at who was coming in, but as expected it was Cassandra and Keirin, I could see Keirin's expression on which one could see disbelief that I had married Cassandra. I can understand why she thought I would refuse her, but Cassandra was too persistent.

- What do you want to discuss Trey? - Keirin asked, examining me carefully and sitting down on one of the chairs.

I did not foresee anything that happened today, so I could only hope that everything would go on as usual, but again these days I began to forget what was usual and what was not.

- First of all, Cassandra, you have to find out the truth about me. - I said to her, carefully watching her.

I could see how her gaze became colder when she heard my words.

- Didn't you tell Samantha and me everything after the duel? - Cassandra said, trying to look calm, but I could see that she was nervous.

Nodding to her, I began to think how to tell her the truth so that she would not think that I was lying to her again.

- What do you know about the cursed swordsmen? - I asked her cautiously.

Cassandra tilted her head, not understanding how this is connected, but putting her hand to her lips, she thought.

- As far as I remember, the cursed swordsmen are representatives of races that were chosen by our gods, but during the exodus they all left with the gods and races that the gods chose. - Cassandra said uncomprehendingly, looking from me to Keirin.

I noticed how she cast cautious glances at Keirin, assuming what thoughts she had, I needed to dispel them as quickly as possible.

- You're right, you know my real name, but you asked which family would reject a child who has the magic of darkness, remember? - I asked Cassandra.

Cassandra looked at me, she remembered that strange conversation when he explained the reason for refusing to conduct a wedding ritual with them.

- Yes, and you said that you hadn't awakened the magic of darkness yet, and that's why they rejected you. - Cassandra replied, not understanding what I was getting at.

Agreeing with her words, I didn't want to spill the whole truth at once, but it's better that she finds out everything at once.

- It was true but incomplete, my real name is Alurik the seventh Prince of the Kray Empire and until recently I was a human. - Trying not to take my eyes off her, I could see her eyes widen.

Cassandra was shocked, she understood that Trey had secrets, but she couldn't believe what he was saying now.

- You're lying, you're a half-elf, how can a person become a representative of another race?! - Cassandra asked, almost shouting.

She expected Keirin to react to this lie somehow, but she sat silently and listened, she didn't look surprised or shocked.

- Did you know? Cassandra shouted, pointing at Keirin.

Keirin, listening to the beginning of the conversation, could not help but shake her head, Trey did not know how to say sensitive things without provoking the interlocutor to anger.

- Do you think I became his servant of my own free will? - Keirin spoke through her teeth in a low voice.

Cassandra turned her gaze to me, she didn't understand anything that was happening in this room right now.

- You're right, I'm a half-elf now, but when checking my talent for magic, they didn't reveal it and I was abdicated and sent to this academy as Trey, when checking my talent for swordsmen, the dean said that I have the opportunity to become a cursed swordsman or chosen by the goddess. - Trying not to miss the details, I told what I remembered.

Cassandra looked from me to Keirin, expecting that one of us would laugh, but she saw our serious faces, she began to understand that I was not joking.

- And who is this goddess? - Cassandra asked in a low voice.

Thinking how best to say it, I turned my gaze to Keirin, who showed that she was not my assistant with this.

- The goddess of chaos Hes, I became her chosen one. - I said, watching Cassandra's reaction.

Cassandra was even more surprised, she did not know that the gods could change the race of their chosen one.

- Is that why you didn't want to do the wedding ritual with us? - Cassandra asked, still casting suspicious glances at Keirin.

Looking at Cassandra, I expected that she wouldn't believe me and would leave slamming the door, but I was glad that I was wrong.

- Yes, I did not want to involve you in my problems, and if you believe the words of the goddess Hes and the dean, then after a while I will change my race to another and will not be a half-elf. - I said, watching as Cassandra's gaze stopped displaying consciousness and she sprawled on the chair.

Not understanding what had happened, I started to get out of bed when Keirin stopped me with her hand.

- That's enough, you've done so much, you dumped everything on her and immediately she couldn't stand the load and lost consciousness. - Keirin said in a stern voice.

Lowering my head, I knew she was right, but I didn't want us to have secrets anymore because of me.

- I'll talk to her myself, fortunately or not, but I know all your thoughts, and now get ready and let's go home there's another princess waiting for you Trey. - Keirin said irritably.

Watching as she takes my uniform out of the closet and throws it on my bed, then goes to the chair and checks Cassandra's forehead.

- You'll carry her, she's not like your wife. - Keirin said cheerfully, grinning.
