It did.. work.
Lilith could hardly believe it, she had just rid a possessed animal of a demon. She stared down at the book, noticing that the pages were now blank. She vaguely remembered the words turning into black smoke. Had she… ingested the spell?
"How do you feel, Lilith? Any side effects? Signs of discomfort?" Lucian asked as he secured the chicken back in its cage.
Lilith took a moment to assess herself. "I feel… normal. Mostly surprised that I could do something like that, but otherwise, I'm alright."
"Very well then. I'll let you off for the rest of the day. Even I don't fully understand how spells like these work, so I wouldn't want to overwork you. Tomorrow, the real work begins, and I assure you, performing magic on the prince will not be the same as removing a demon from a chicken," Lucian said with a slight smirk.
"I know. And you're right." Lilith nodded in acknowledgment. She stood and extended the book toward him.
