chapter 7

The days passed quickly, and Victoria settled into a comfortable routine with Uncle Claude and Kaito. She spent her days learning about magic, playing with Kaito, and exploring the beautiful gardens and forests surrounding Uncle Claude's home.

But as much as Uncle Claude loved having Victoria around, he knew that she needed to learn more about her magic and how to control it. He also wanted her to make friends and have a normal life, something she had been denied for so long.

"Victoria, my dear, I think it's time for you to start attending a school for magic," Uncle Claude said one day, as they sat in the garden watching Kaito chase after butterflies.

Victoria's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Uncle Claude uncertainly. "A school for magic?" she repeated.

Uncle Claude nodded. "Yes, my dear. You have a great deal of magical potential, and I want to help you develop it. The school I have in mind is one of the best in the land, and I think you will thrive there."

Victoria thought about it for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay, Uncle Claude. I'll go."

Uncle Claude smiled, relieved. "I knew you would see it my way, Victoria. Now, let's get started on making arrangements for you to attend the school. It's called the Wysteria Academy of Magic, and it's located in a beautiful castle not too far from here."

Victoria's eyes sparkled with excitement as she listened to Uncle Claude's plans. She couldn't wait to start her new adventure and learn more about her magic.

Victoria's face fell as she thought about the prince and her brother attending the same school. "One bad thing, Uncle Claude," she said, her voice hesitant. "The prince and my brother will be there."

Uncle Claude's expression turned serious, and he nodded. "Yes, Victoria, I'm afraid that's true. The prince is a student at Wysteria Academy, and your brother has also been accepted. But don't worry, my dear. You're a strong and capable young witch, and I have no doubt that you'll be able to handle yourself around them."

Victoria sighed, feeling a sense of trepidation. She had never gotten along with her brother, and the prince had always seemed so arrogant and entitled. The thought of being in the same school as them made her stomach twist with anxiety.

But Uncle Claude's words of encouragement gave her a sense of determination. She would not let her brother or the prince intimidate her. She would show them that she was a powerful and talented witch, and she would not be ignored.

"I'll be fine, Uncle Claude," Victoria said, squaring her shoulders. "I'll show them that I'm not to be underestimated."

Uncle Claude smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "That's the spirit, Victoria," he said. "I knew I could count on you."
