"What are you?"

Alicia was a little surprised by her calmness at the moment, the advantage of being old is that there is nothing to fear.

"Fire Demon, you can call me Cassif." Cassifer said.

"You say you're.... Demon? Alicia stared at the flames in front of her, her face a little strange.

As if sensing that he was being slighted, Cassivah was a little unconvinced and allowed himself to burn more vigorously, and the firewood crackled as it burned.

"I'm bound here by contract! Can't get half a step out of here. ”

"It looks like the two of us are alike, both victims of magic." Alicia said.

The crackling sound in the hearth became a little softer, and Cassifer continued.

"The spell on your body is ancient and powerful."

Hearing this, Alicia woke up from a dream, "You see it!?" ”

Her voice subconsciously increased, and she asked eagerly, "Can you break this spell?" ”

The flames burned silently for a while, and the eyes were looking at Alicia carefully.

"It's not very easy to solve, it's complicated, and I need to look into it."

"How long will it take?" Alicia asked.

"It's going to take a while." It stared at Alicia, a flash of cunning in its eyes, "How about we make a deal?"

If you agree to break the contract that binds me, I will undo your spell. ”

Alicia fell silent, it wasn't a wise choice to make a deal with a demon, all the stories she'd heard since she was a child told her.

"What more are you waiting for?" "Do you want to stay like this forever?" ”

"People have to go through this stage, don't they?" Alicia Road.

"But they've enjoyed their youth to the fullest, but you haven't." "This magic has reduced your lifespan by at least sixty years. ”

Alicia looked solemn, "I'm not surprised. ”

She looked at Cassifer, and suddenly, she asked the question she cared about the most, "Who did you sign this contract with?" ”

"Char." Cassifer said, "Char the Sorcerer." ”

Sure enough, it was him, Alicia thought to herself, and for some reason, her somewhat uneasy heart calmed down, perhaps because she didn't have to face the unknown anymore.

She looked around again.

So.... This is his castle.

"Not only am I trapped here, unable to move, but I also have to bear the magic of the entire castle." "I'll have to bother to hide his presence, maintain the castle, make it move, and even heat up the bathwater." ”

"Sounds pathetic." Alicia said.

"It's very pitiful!" "I'm being exploited. ”

"You're a demon, and all stories are about demons exploiting people, and there's never been a thing of anyone exploiting demons." Alicia teased.

She still didn't believe it, but that didn't stop her from finding it funny.

"He's a very cunning wizard." Cassifer said.

Alicia was silent for a moment, she thought carefully for a moment, "What if.... If you can really break my curse, I may be able to grant your request. ”

"Deal!" Cassifer said excitedly, his face elongated with the flames, "If you break my contract, I can lift your curse immediately!" ”

"You'll have to tell me how to break the contract." Alicia said.

Cassifer's eyes winked at her, then shifted his gaze, "Just as you can't divulge the curse on you, our contract also has a non-disclosure agreement, and I can't break it. ”

"Are you kidding me?" Alicia said.

"If you look closely and listen, you can find out." "Trust me, it's good for you and me." ”

It was sincere, and Alicia grudgingly believed it.

"It looks like I'm going to stay in this castle, but will that guy let me stay?"

"We can think slowly." "Char is very casual and helpful, and not long ago he saved a poor guy who was freezing to death on a snowy field. ”

"Speaking of which, I don't know, is he in the castle now?" Alicia asked.

"No, I don't know when he'll be back."

"Good." Alicia nodded, "Then you think about it quickly, it's better to think about it before he comes back." ”

She leaned back comfortably in her chair and waited for him to think, the flame burning in front of her, silent as it thought, quiet except for the crackling sound of the flame burning firewood.

The white noise made her a little drowsy, she didn't know if it was magic or not, especially at the end, Cassifer began to chant a ballad in an unknown language, it was so peaceful, she fell into a deep sleep almost defenselessly....

I don't know how long later, with a click, the door slowly opened......

Char walked in through the door, he took off his coat a little tiredly, put it on one side, and then sat down on the red sofa on the other side, and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.

He stared silently at the little old lady sleeping in his chair, without saying a word.

"I'll tell her everything you told me to say." "Can she really break our contract?" ”

"Never question the choice of fate." Char muttered softly.

He looked at Cassifer with some curiosity, "How did she get in?" ”

Cassifer couldn't tell at a glance that this old lady was Alicia, and his perception was not so strong.

"I don't know, as soon as she shouted outside, the castle was out of my control at that moment, and it took a while to recover, and then she somehow broke through my defenses, is it because of fate?"

Char thought for a moment, and he shook his head, "Fate doesn't manifest itself this way. ”

"What do you mean ....."

"The template used for this fate is different from that of a novel, in which the heroine has magic, but she doesn't know it.

And in the movie...."

Char was silent for a moment, and he recalled for a moment, "There should be some, but due to space, I didn't specifically mention it." ”

Cassifer opened her eyes and looked at Alicia curiously, "If that's the case, then her magic is..."

"Words and spirits." Char muttered softly.

"Born with this ability, her talent is not low." Cassifer said.

Char thought for a moment and said, "She is a royal family, maybe her ancestor was a very powerful magician, otherwise, she would not have created such a huge empire, which makes her veins flow with mystery."

It is for this reason that she was chosen to carry this destiny....."

He looked up and watched silently, Alicia's side face, the curse on her body taking on another pose as she fell into a deep slumber.

With the flickering firelight on one side, her skin became smooth and rosy again, and her long black hair was casually scattered, even if her sleeping position was not very elegant at the moment, it was still difficult to hide her beauty.

At the banquet before, the ornate mask like a crown obscured most of her face, and although it did bring her a sense of mystery, it also concealed most of her brilliance.

"It's supposed to be a kind of heart-to-heart magic." "There's an old age inside her that doesn't belong to her age. ”

Char nodded, "But that's not all, it has a second layer. ”

"It's tricky." Cassifer said.

Char smiled, "It's just tricky right now." ”

He got up from the couch and picked up one side of his coat at the same time, gently draped it over Alicia's body, and whispered.

"Good night, have a good dream."

Then, he turned his head and walked up the stairs......
