Speaking of the castle maid system, there wasn’t anything inherently wrong with the one that existed long before Lynette came to Crimsok Fall but the system she established afterwards was better suited for a goal she had. The goal was to ensure she remained close to Jeremiah—or more accurately, the vessel that housed Crimson—until his reincarnation was complete, all while keeping her true identity hidden.She crafted a different system that so effective and impressive it was chosen over the original without hesitation and since her goal was also going to be achieved, everyone involved ended up winning and getting what they wanted.Her system began by manipulating the mentality of the masses, turning service to the king—the vessel that housed Crimson’s essence—into a source of pride, creating an unrelenting desire to devote a portion of one’s life to serving the king and his castle.At the age of sixteen, girls would apply to be one of the anointed castle maids— emphasis on the anoint

“Why don’t I show you?”Those words resounded in not just Jeremiah’s but also the ears of everyone on the podium, hinting that they were about to experience something very interesting. Being their only link to the era when Lord Crimson was still active and had not yet reincarnated, Lynette possessed a wealth of information and experiences that only she could provide and it looked like they were about to get one of them.Unfortunately, it seemed like Lynette was only talking to Jeremiah so Reginald, Kingston, and Elizabeth wouldn’t be able to experience what she was talking about. Seeing the visible disappointment on their faces, minus Jeremiah’s, Lynette sighed.“You three can come too,” she said and they all jolted, not expecting her to say what she just did. Since she had only shown interest in Jeremiah, who was her fiancé and a mystical creature like her, the others had thought that Lynette didn’t care much for them, especially now that she knew who she really was.However, they

As expected, it wasn’t an optical illusion that made the wall behind the door look like a room. It was, in fact, a real room that had appeared out of nowhere, and the ability to walk into it was proof of that.The others followed behind Jeremiah and they all entered the room. “It’s a very beautiful room, My Lady,” Elizabeth said, in awe of the room. Who would have thought that ancient designers were a lot better than those of the modern era who designed the interior of the other rooms in the castle? Elizabeth thought.“Thank you. The entire room is made of magic so I can change it however I want with just a thought” Lynette said then pointed her hand at one side of the room.“Just like that,” she said, and immediately that part of the room changed how it looked. Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows.“How did you do that?” he asked. She looked at him and said “I just said how. Magic” He groaned.“Yes, I heard what you said, but I thought it’d take some time for your magic to return afte

Jeremiah dropped his hand and phone on the bed and made a heavy sigh.“Three hours, huh?” Jeremiah said, realizing that it was a very long time to wait before the date but what’s done is done.He wondered what he should do within that time and an idea came to mind— to use that time to try and regain memories from his past self.Jeremiah closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed his nerves, and then sighed. Thanks to what Obadiah did in the greenhouse while testing his magic, his once-locked connection to his past had now been partially opened. So, if he focused hard enough, he could possibly recover some of his past memories like back then.All Jeremiah had to do was remember the feeling he had in the greenhouse when his memories were revealed to him and maybe something would come up. He didn’t know if it would work or not— mostly leaning on not— but he also had nothing else to do so why not give it a shot?“Alright, here we go,” Jeremiah said, concentrating as he tried to recall

“What’s the matter?” Jeremiah asked and Christabel, who wasn’t expecting that, jolted. “My Lord?” She asked.He pointed at her face and said “You look like something is bothering you. Mind telling what that is” Christabel chuckled awkwardly. “There’s nothing bothering me my—“ she said but Jeremiah cut her off. “Yes there is,” he said, causing her to eat her words and freeze momentarily.Jeremiah picked up the spoon, focused on his food, and said “Just like everyone on this estate, you were told who or more accurately what I am, and as what I am I have a few abilities that others like yourself don’t have. One of said abilities is my heightened senses which allows me to be extremely observant. Thanks to that, I’m able to catch the slightest change in things and people and I noticed it with you so are you going to lie to my face or are you going to be truthful?”Jeremiah looked at Lynette from head to toe and noted how nervous she was.“As you know, I won’t force you to do what you d
