Lady Cirila had so many words she wanted to say.
Unfortunately, most of them would have started with, "What kind of bollocks are you spouting now," and that alone forced the draconic lady to take a very deliberate breath.
She couldn't afford to lose her temper.
Not now. Not when her obvious agitation might very well give away the fact that there were others inside that room.
Who knew what kind of unfortunate scenario this was. Nearly everyone at the estate had been instructed to pull back for the sake of the learners. Everyone except Lawrence, who was human and largely mana-neutral. The natural density of mana within the estate was already more than enough to overwhelm beginners. Adding extra traces on top of that would only sabotage the exercise entirely.
Thankfully, clearing the area had been relatively easy.
