“Well, well, Miss Lumina. It seems we’ll be traveling together.” “I’m afraid you’ll have to sit alone, Ias. Lumina will be sitting next to me.” …Professor Ias and Edward. I had to fight back tears as I climbed into the carriage. The only consolation was that the journey wouldn’t be too long. Cambert, our destination, was on the eastern outskirts, but the magic carriage would get us there in under an hour. Just one hour. I can pretend I’m dead for an hour. I leaned back…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
- “None of your business.” I’d discovered another one of Blake’s talents: annoying Jade. “You should be busy with your rat. How long is that going to take?” “You wanna die?” A furious Jade summoned his rat and flung it at Blake. Blake caught it easily and placed it on my desk. Why am I suffering while they fight? I felt the rat brush past my head. Goosebumps erupted; I wanted to faint on the spot. All that effort to avoid the rat, erasing the professor’s seal and…

- “I could, but…”I didn’t want to use magic on a rat, so I silently accepted the rabbit. At least rabbits are cute. Rats are just…disgusting. I drew a magic circle above the rabbit. As my magic power focused, a pale pink seal appeared on the rabbit’s white fur. “The professor’s seal.” A light blue seal shimmered into view. Carefully, I erased it bit by bit. I felt my magic power draining rapidly. It made sense, considering I was making someone else’s familiar my own.…

Chapter 11 - The Letter Returning to his office after the meeting, Lowell discovered a letter resting on his desk. Miniel’s handwriting. Contrary to Miniel’s expectations, Lowell didn’t tear the letter to shreds or erupt in fury. Instead, as if savoring the situation, he pressed it to his chest. Deciphering her thoughts through the traces she left behind was a pleasure for him. Had Miniel been anxious, wondering if he’d see through her facade of normalcy while harboring these thoughts? Now…- 53.0 K • Ongoing
- “Don’t you understand that this all happened because of you, Miniel?” While Lowell was the one who had imprisoned Helion, he observed the tragedy from a distance. His eyes, filled with a feigned regret, held no trace of guilt. His accusation, coupled with his unwavering conviction that this was all her fault, threw Miniel into utter confusion. Was it truly her fault that Raphaerd had disappeared and Helion was imprisoned? If she hadn’t entertained the foolish notion of leaving Lowell, would…

- Chapter 23 - Blackmail Running a hand through her long platinum hair, Miniel thought back to how this secret vacation, begun so lightheartedly, had led to such dire consequences. It was all her fault that Raphaerd was now in danger. She’d been arrogant to assume she alone would bear the responsibility for her failure. Raphaerd, who had only tried to help, had been caught in the crossfire. Her grip tightened on the letter. Though it had presented a sudden influx of information, the answer was…

Soon, he could hear the soft rhythm of Estelle’s breathing. He tried not to notice, but he couldn’t resist looking. He tapped on the driver’s compartment. It was a signal to stop briefly. “What is it, Your Grace?” “I’m going to use a magic circle. Let’s go that way.” “Yes? Yes, Your Grace.” The driver’s bewildered voice reached him. It was understandable, considering Lennard had never once used a magic circle despite his frequent trips to the battlefield. Lennard sighed,…- 50.3 K • Ongoing
- Benedict grabbed Lennard’s arm. “We have to go to the Duke’s estate. Now.” “Why?” “Your future grandmother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in the same house! The Duchess’s first impression of Estelle is crucial, especially given her existing prejudice against her. Seeing her personality might scare Estelle away.” The Duchess was unlikely to approve of Estelle. What noble would welcome someone who had broken off an engagement with their family? And the Duchess’s personality is……

- Edwin gulped, looking at Lennard, who appeared angrier than he’d ever seen him. “So, you’re saying Sierra forced a blessing on you?” “Yes.” Edwin was taken aback by the Church’s unexpectedly aggressive move. Lennard looked ready to file charges against both Sierra and the Church. Against anyone else, such an accusation would lead to immediate legal action, but their opponent was the Saintess-in-waiting. “This is a serious matter, Lenn. You know challenging this will create an…

Shariette recalled the information Nox had briefly shared with her on their journey. The gentle woman before her, with her golden hair and blue eyes, was the Duchess, Marianne Rubelot. The woman with the same raven hair as Nox was his sister, the Lady Nixia Rubelot. Shariette glanced between the Duchess and her children, who shared as much resemblance as a rosebush and a lily. She could almost picture the unseen Duke. As expected of the Rubelots, even their genes are potent. The epitome of those…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
