So that was it. Not even other family members could completely read the Grimoire. If that was the case, theneruin guessed it was the doing of one of its previous owners, or that it had been made like that since the beginning. In any casr, all that meant was that there were mechanisms in place to ensure that the book was not completely open to anyone.

Meruin shivered in delight. Her eyes werr spinning as her attention was fully on the Grimoire. With mechanism like that, it was impossible to imagine just what kind of mysteries were held within. The small mage could only dream of the results should the day come that all the pages could be unlocked.

"Would you like me to help you with it?" With an earnest look, Meruin's emerald green eyes stared intensely back at Arcadius's own. "I want to help you unlock more pages of the Grimoire, if you'll allow me."

Meruin didn't even care if she was unable to learn a spell from the book. So long as Arcadius was able to and showed her the results. In the end, so long as she discovered something new, it will have been worth it.
