# Summary

The protagonist seizes the opportunity to steal spellbooks from Lorenzo, puzzled by the absence of restraints and questioning the potential risk, and plans to decipher the cryptic spells despite the danger.

# Abstract

In "Stealing His Magic," part of the DRABBLE ARC #2: SEEK AND AVENGE series, the protagonist takes advantage of Lorenzo's absence to steal spellbooks from his study. Despite the nonsensical content of the books, such as the phrase "green ideas sleep furiously," the protagonist remains undeterred, hiding a spellbook with the intent to find an interpreter for the spells. This act of defiance is a significant departure from previous inaction, as the protagonist always found it odd that Lorenzo did not secure them when leaving and avoided attempting escape due to suspicions of a trap. The story is a continuation of "The Burned Village" and invites readers to explore other "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories on the platform.
