"Holy fuck," I cursed and Whitney giggled.
"Ya. I can freeze anything in a certain radius," she admitted.
"You didn't freeze me," I acknowledged.
"Correct! I sensed a bit of your energy upon entering so when casting my internal spell, I made sure my magic wouldn't freeze anyone with a beating heart that resonates with your aura."
"So what if my guards were in here?" I further inquired.
"Uh...they probably would be fucked," she admitted and covered her mouth after swearing. "I mean, they would be frozen because there isn't a deeper resonation of your power inside them."
"So who would be spared if you were attempting to protect me in, say, a dangerous situation?"
"The highest chances are lovers or someone that really cares about you."
"So energy connection wouldn't count?"
"If they're your bonded mate, it would count, but aside from that, it's about their internal intentions," she revealed. "Uh...it's weird magic. I'm technically not allowed to show anyone other than royals, but since I'm here on behalf of Ruby Phoenix, I kind of assumed you're a royal or have an association with her," she confessed while she grew more nervous. "I think I said too much."
I smirked while absorbing her words.
Ruby Phoenix. My sister.
"She could have killed me,"Saint huffed.
And yet you're alive, under my desk, and holding my hand. Guess you have feelings for me as William, too, huh?
"Why do I feel like you're happy about that?"
Who knows.
"I'm glad to know Ruby sent you," I began as I looked around the room. "Are you able to return my office to normal? I wouldn't want to replace the millions of dollars worth of furniture for water damage."
"R-Right!" she shrieked and removed her hands. I watched as the ice began to fade away like an illusion versus the previous chilled ice oasis that dropped the temperature to blizzard degrees. "My apologies."
"It's fine," I replied. "I figured from your aura that you're rather talented in the realms of magic."
"Yes!" she declared. "I'm currently in training to be of service to Ruby's sister!"
Oh.
"Ah. Ruby’s sister." I decided to go along with it.
"Mhmm! Ruby said it's okay to speak about it with you. I'll be attending to Ruby's sister’s needs once she's passed the conditions of the royal family."
"Conditions?" I inquired.
"Yes! Every royal family has various conditions. Some just do a test, like a written knowledge test of the royal hierarchy, but those who are closer to the top of that scale are put in the spotlight for their tests," she disclosed. "I'm sure she'll be tested one way or another."
"Interesting," I replied. "So the meaning of your visit is?"
"AH! Right! Um," she quickly shuffled back to her previous spot and picked up her items, "Miss Phoenix wanted me to formally invite you to participate in her runway event! She's officially launching her brand, Phoenix Rise, which will cater to the luxurious and rich. Seeing as you're not only a celebrity but also among royal members, she requested I get your measurements."
"Does that need to be done today?" I inquired. "I haven't reviewed my schedule and in order to proceed, wouldn't I have to accept the invitation?"
She blinked as if it didn't click into place until I brought it up.
"OH NO! Y-Y-You didn't get the official invite?! I sent it weeks ago! I'm sure of it."
