Aeliana removed her hand away from the crystal ball and stared at her hand, still coming to terms with what just happened.
"My baby is amazing!!" Cassian happily cheered, carrying her up into his arms and swinging her around.
Her vision became blurred as her father spun her around until Leon stopped him.
"Congrats Aeliana, this really is something to celebrate," Leon said with a smile, patting her head.
"Yes, you are right Leon, we will buy your favourite desserts and celebrate!"
"I must say this is very rare..to have two people with two types of magic in a day..." the Bishop muttered.
Aeliana heard what he said and turned to him, "Two people? Does that mean there was someone else that had two as well?" she asked.
The Bishop nodded and added, "Yes, that's right. A boy before you came to check on his mana and had two as well. He left right after you arrived."
"Did he get the same as me?"
"I'm sorry but I am unable to give private information out." The Bishop shot her an apologetic smile as he replied.
Aeliana nodded, understanding his reasons, "That's okay, thank you for today, Your Excellency." she gave him a curtsy before leaving the hall with her father and brother.
The ride back home was pleasant. Cassian had a big smile on his face as he talked to Aeliana.
"So Eli, what dessert do you want? Daddy will buy it for you."
"Father, if you keep pampering her she will turn rotten." Leon commented but then turned to her and said, "But if you really want then say it."
'You and Daddy are the same.'
"I don't want to eat desserts," she answered.
She wasn't lying when she said that. Recently, she has been eating a lot of sweets which began making her feel sick to the stomach. Now thinking about desserts made her stomach churn.
'I think I'm starting to get sick of sweets...I have to stop for a while before I truly can't eat them ever again.'
"Are you sure you don't want any?"
"Yes daddy, I'm fine!"
Cassian had a dejected expression on his face but didn't press on. Leon just shot a look at their father before sighing and shaking his head. Once they returned back to the duchy, their father told everyone including the workers about Aeliana's mana which resulted in everyone congratulating her.
When her other three brothers heard about what had happened, they all had shocked expressions just like their father and Leon.
Marius grabbed her shoulders and shook her back and forth as he spoke, "How did you get both light and common magic!? That's mostly unheard of!!"
"Marius be careful with her!" Claud said, trying to pull him off Aeliana.
"You've always been interested in mana and magic so this is really good for you Eli." Darius said, smiling brightly.
Aeliana grinned and nodded, "Yeah, I'm so happy about this!"
"I am surprised though," Claud spoke up after prying Marius off.
"It's already rare to get light magic but having two types? It's even rarer."
Leon nodded at Claud's words, "Yes, I think this is the first time this has ever happened in our family line. Even our relatives are mostly common magic."
He turned to Aeliana and in a severe tone he spoke to her, "Aeliana, you have to be careful. Although it's good that you have more than one magic, you must be careful with how you use it and with who you show it to. Father has already made one mistake by telling everyone in the mansion about it but as long as word does not get out, it should be alright."
"I agree with brother. People may try to take advantage of you because of your magic so you have to stay alert. Remember we are here for you so if anything happens you must let us know."
Aeliana bobbed her head, answering thoughtfully, "Of course brother, I will be careful about this."
Marius puffed his cheeks and loudly spoke, "Arghh! Enough with these serious talks!" he turned to Aeliana, "Let's go play dragons! I'll be the dragon and you have to run away from me!"
Aeliana laughed at his game and stuck her tongue out, "Brother is already a dragon so I always run away from you."
Marius' eye twitched slightly, "Why you little..!"
She let out a scream mixed with giggles before grabbing her other brothers and quickly running away from Marius who began chasing after her around the house. The day soon ended with Marius thoroughly exhausted from trying to catch his siblings.

Author's note: Hello! With this chapter ending, I would like to talk a bit of the behind-the-scene thoughts during this chapter hehe, so I know you guys might be like why did I decide to give her such a rare thing and perhaps even OP
This involves the plot and to be honest, I also thought I might be making her OP so I decided to cut the amount of mana she has. So despite her being able to wield two types, she can't constantly use them since she only has around an average amount. As for the involvement in the plot, you shall see in the upcoming chapters 👀 dw its not too far into the book from here
(If you want more, you can find my Patreon as there is early access to chapters!)
Thanks for reading and see you next week~
