The Sorcerer's Bride Chapter 62

Zylvia gazed at her husband as he was lecturing her on how magic could be used, and how magic should never be used . They were in the library, she was sitting on one of the chairs and he was pacing excitedly . As he was talking, though, his voice had a gentle patient quality to it . It was about mid morning currently, and they had been doing this for several hours now .

"Wait, you are not supposed to use magic on a pregnant woman?" Zylvia felt her eyes widen, "Is it dangerous?"

Her husband smiled as leaned on her chair for a moment, "It can be, for the unborn child . Very likely to affect the child's growth, or mental abilities in some way . Best case scenario is they become a sorcerer due to it . Also, newborns should not have spells cast on them either . "

"I see . " Zylvia nodded, "That is good to know . "

AdvertisementHe continued his pacing . "Let's see, while you have a specialty in magic, as well as a secondary, most sorcerers have a type of magic that doesn't quite click for them as well . They can still cast it of course but they are naturally inclined to ignore it . "

"Oh? What is yours?" She knew he specialized in abjuration magic and was good at evocation, an odd combination but he had a strange bloodline, but she actually had no idea what he would have difficulty with .

"Enchantment . " He shrugged, "Personalty conflict . "

"Same one I am good at?"

"Yeah . . . don't worry though there are enough similarities between the magics for me to still teach you . "

"I know," A giggle escaped her lips . Her husband was acting cute . At least she found him cute . She was not sure anyone else found him exactly cute .

He continued his lecture, going over the guidelines on magic . Though there were few hard and fast rules, there were plenty of rules of thumb . Some of it was common sense, and he did not spend much time on those .

He had found some books on the shelves for her to read, that would help supplement where he was lacking . She perused them while listening to him, trying to absorb as much as possible .

They finally took a break some time after noon to eat . Zylvia was glad for the reprieve - her head felt like mush from all the new knowledge . That and she was hungry anyway .

Kaldrek helped her fix a plate for herself and sat her down . Unlike her, he still seemed to be brimming with energy . Though some of that may have been due to his excitement .

She leaned against him as she ate . No one else was around right now and she felt no real embarrassment from a display of affection .

Kaldrek slipped an arm around her waist, burying his head in her neck . Which in and of itself did not bother her but he was not eating . "Kaldrek . . . . you need to eat . "

" . . . Do I?" Kaldrek murmered against her skin, "But I would rather hold you . . . . "

Zylvia let out a sigh, "Eat now, you can hold me later . " She pulled away from him, and turned to look at him . His eyes met hers .

"Fine . " After several moments he turned away and started eating . He still did not let go of her though .

She traced the arm he had around her with one of her hands, enjoying being close to him . She as rather glad no one was walking in on them right now . But they had gone to lunch rather late so it was not that surprising .

He took her back to the library after they had finished their meal . Instead of lecturing her though he sat her on his lap with one of the books he had handed her . He kissed her sweetly before telling her to read it .

Zylvia snuggled back into her warm human cushion . Opening her book she started reading, trying to ignore the playful touches of her husband . It was a bit easier after he started reading a book himself . Even so, apparently he was surprisingly good at multitasking because he would not stop teasing her with his touch .
