Adam woke up early, he still has homework to do that he didn't manage to finish last night. He decided to go to the kitchen and get some cold orange juice to wake him up.
He heard a boiling sound and a faint chopping sound, coming from the kitchen. He walked inside the kitchen and saw Sid, chopping some potatoes beside the boiling pot on top of the stove.
It's been almost a week since she arrived at their house. Since then, she has been tasked with cooking and mostly cleaning the house. He never said it loudly, but Adam really likes her cooking compared to his mom, Laney.
"Good morning."
"Heuk!"
She jolted in surpri
Mathieu took me to the infirmary, I am currently sitting still on the bed as per his instructions. "This is going to sting a bit." He notified me before gently dabbing the cotton ball soaked with disinfectant into my scratches and blisters. I whimpered as soon as the cotton balls touched my skin. It stings a lot and felt as if my skin is burning. I have a lot of scratches on my face as well as my arms, which I got from fighting Marianne and her friends. After putting in a disinfectant, Mathieu started to apply some ointment to my visible bruises. "I, I can do it myself." "Just stay still. You also have blisters over here." He murmured while looking at my elbow. "But..." "Stay still." He firmly said, which made me nod in defeat. I silently watched him. Since we were kids, Mathieu was always the one who took care of me. He's always been there to get me out of trouble, and he always had a way to calm me. But I'm afraid that I keep on bothering him, and I feel like I'm getting too
"It's nice walking like this together," Mathieu said, as we walked leisurely on the street while admiring the orange sky. "Yeah." The cool breeze that was gently passing made me feel relaxed, clearing the jumbled thoughts that have been occupying my mind. "Sid, let's stop at the convenience store." "Okay." We entered the convenience store, Mathieu took a basket with him, and went directly to the food section. I went to the other side to get a toothbrush and an undergarment for me to use since I didn't expect this sudden sleepover.After picking up what I needed, I went to the food section where Mathieu is. "Whoa, that's a lot," I exclaimed, seeing a full basket in his hand. He shrugged, "We're going to eat this together, you know." "Mn...but still, I think it's a little too much." "It's fine, and it's our luck today," He grinned proudly and showed me the caramel pudding that he got. Math and I like sweets, and caramel pudding is our favorite dessert. "Lucky!" We arrived at
CLANG!"Hyaap!" I thrust my sword in his direction, but Alper quickly blocked my attack.He pushed my sword away and made a horizontal slash to attack me, but I managed to avoid it by jumping backward, allowing me to put a distance between us."Haaa!"I run toward Alper and unleashed my chain attacks to hit him with great force.SWISH! CLANG! CLANG!He parried my sword with an impressive speed and pushed me back with his brute strength."Ugh!"
"It's so damn hot!" I grumbled and wiped the dripping sweat from my face. I was positioned in the rear along with the wagons carrying our supplies as we travel to Morvall, along with Alper and the other knights. While, Raphael was positioned in the front, accompanying the commander and the vice-commander. I squint my eyes as I hatefully look at the scorching sun. Should I use my divine powers to cast a cooling spell? But, on second thought it's such a waste to use divine power in that way, casting a heat-resistant spell is way better. Oneiroi was right, I was able to gain power the more I dream. It was during my personal training that I noticed a familiar power within me. I didn't hesitate to check it, and I found out that I gained a fraction of Saintess L
I couldn't sleep well after that night, and I stayed vigilant throughout the remaining time of our journey. I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, and every time I tried to search for the source, that feeling instantly disappeared. Ha! Really, I didn't know that being stalked is terrible. I feel like I could now sympathize with the people who are victimized by a stalker. It's a very unpleasant feeling, making the victim feel anxious and afraid. I couldn't even take a break without having the thought of my head flying, or being stabbed in my back. My body also unconsciously tensed up whenever someone approaches me from behind. Raphael also eyed me suspiciously after I accidentally hit him when he tried to approach me from behind. "...sigh." "Are you alright?" Alper asked and threw me an apple. I caught it with my left hand and wiped the apple using my thumb before taking a big bite. Crunch! A sweet and subtle taste of sour spread in my mouth. I never tasted an apple this
KYAAAK!SCREEEEE!Clang! Clang!The screams of the monsters and the sound of metal resounded throughout the forest.The knights were drenched in red bathing from themonsters' blood."Shit!"Sid, who's currently possessingKrynt'sbody,cursed loudly when his attack bounce off because of the hard metal-like scales of thedouble-headedsnake.He only managed to graze it a little.They already managed to cut the other head, however, they still needed to cut the other h
"I was ordered by the pope to kill you.""Stop lying. I never had any connections with the pope!"He shrugged, "Of course you have. Your mother, the former Saint, is the pope's daughter."My eyes widened in his revelation. That means my thoughts were right!I couldn't figure out who wants Krynt's death because he has never gotten himself into anything questionable. This is why I thought that it has something to do with his birth history. This also answers why Krynt is highly compatible with divine power."She fell in love with that low-ranking paladin and ran away. The church hunted them by the order of the pope to avoid tarnishing his reputation and sullying t
SLAAP!Sid's face was forcefully turned to her side, as Laney's heavy hand hit her cheek. She can hear a slight ringing in her ear as numbness was replaced by a burning sting."You went to school just to cause trouble? Have you no shame fighting your classmates for just a damn book? What's the point of you going to school if you're acting like a thug in the streets, huh!?" Laney furiously yelled at her.She wanted to defend herself, but she decided to keep her mouth shut. Knowing her mother, reasoning with her will only anger her. And Sid doesn't like that because she'll be on the receiving end if that's to happen."What's more, you decided to stay over at the Noors' house instead of going home. Do you think you can
