Reincarnated into Two Bodies

Chapter 90: Wake Up

“[Fireball]”

The moment those words were uttered, the cracklings in the air turned into loud gusts. In almost an instant, a large ball of fire converged in front of the robed man’s stretched hand. I instinctively took a step back as I watched it light up everything around it.

It was the first time in my lives, all three of them, that I saw magic being performed in front of me. It was as mesmerizing as it was… unnerving.

Almost as quick as it had appeared, the fireball shot forward.

Straight forward at…

I was still in the party venue as Carine when the ball of fire appeared. In a panic, I stood up from my seat abruptly, the chair scraping loudly against the floor and halting Munith mid-conversation.

“Lady Carine?” she asked.

I turned toward the First Prince, who stood by the window, engrossed in conversation with his guests. The windows they were standing by… no, the windows the fireball was headed straight toward gleamed ominously, catching the fireball’s glow.

“Get away from the windows!” I yelled at them.

The crowd froze. Confused faces turned toward me. The faint orange light grew brighter. It was too late. The fireball was going to hit.

And it struck.

The impact was both blinding and deafening. I was thrown back from the sheer force of the impact and my back struck against a wall, pushing out the air out of my lungs. I felt my vision blur as I slid down to the floor, before finally succumbing to unconsciousness.

…

As Feyt, I watched as chaos erupted around me. The distant castle was shrouded in thick, almost opaque dark smoke. People screamed. Knights from all corners of the street rushed forward. The streets were filled with people running about in

“Leila! Where are you?!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, trying my best not to inhale any more of the smoke.

Then, amidst all the chaos, I spotted her. Leila. She was lying unconscious in between the broken tables, likely thrown away by the explosion as well.

I limped forward and dropped to my knees by her side. I shook her shoulders hoping to wake her up. “Leila! Leila! Are you alright?!”

No matter how hard I shook her, she wasn’t waking up. I was about to panic until I noticed that her chest was still heaving gently. Her injuries didn’t seem major as well. I had a feeling that she would be okay.

I was relieved… At least, I should be.

Instead, my hands gripped my gown tightly. My teeth ground together in frustration.

Ignoring the stinging pain all over my body, I forced myself to my feet, ditching the heels. I staggered to the shattered wall. The clear blue skies coupled with the panicked people down on the streets contrasted with each other, but that wasn’t my main focus.

Over there down on the streets, I noticed me and Eliza. I scanned the street up and down with my eyes. With how chaotic things were down there, he wouldn’t have gone far.

I looked for anyone with a robe. From the castle gate until the edge of the street in the distance. Then, I spotted it. A robed man who was moving differently compared to everyone. Less shocked or panicked, more calm.

That was him!

As Feyt, I sprang into action. My legs finally obeyed as I turned and bolted toward the end of the street, leaving Eliza behind.

“Sir Feyt?! What are you—?!”

Her voice faded as I pushed forward. Only one thing was in my mind, that robed man.
