"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
"Isn't it great? You're getting along well with your brother."Oneiroi appeared beside me with his hand under his chin, while looking at the closed door after Adam left my room.Sidereae ignored him and walked straight to her bed."Hey!" He called her out, feeling offended for being ignored."What is wrong with you?""You tell me," Sid sarcastically replied."Were you upset about what happened?" Sid sighed. She closed her eyes and covered her face with both hands."How can I not be upset? I... I just killed a... I just killed someone."She almost couldn't finish her words. Yes, it can be considered self-defense because her life is on the line. It was an act of survival, but still..."How long are you going to brood over it? Kill or be killed, that's the only thing you should imprint in your mind. It's a rule that you must never forget because guilt, morals, or whatever you humans like to call it are all useless when your
I'm staring at my reflection as the maid carefully combs my hair. I still couldn't help but admire Roesia's beauty. My current appearance is far greater than Saintess Lucia's beauty.Her skillful hands worked with precision as she began to tie my hair into a loose braid.As I waited for her to finish styling my hair, a sudden knock came at my door."Milady, this Garvin.""Come in."The door opened and revealed a man in his late 60s standing outside the door. He is wearing butler clothes with no visible creases. Gavin was also wearing white gloves and a monocle with a thin golden chain attached to his clothes.
Roesia stepped out of the carriage as she decided to visit the commercial district for a change of scenery. She was urged by Garvin and her maid Annie to go out because she was coped in her room for a long time."Where do you want to go, milady?" Annie asked as she opened the parasol and put it above Roesia's head to block the sunlight."Hm... Let's head to the jewelry store. I want to find a gift for father."Annie and the escort knight Paul followed Roesia inside the jewelry store owned by Madame Peridot.Madame Peridot is a well-known jeweler. Her designs were elegant, unique, and very appealing to the nobles' extravagance."Lady Blackwell, welcome!" The sta
No way is that...'"Mathieu?""Hm?"Roesia internally shook her head. She was surprised to see someone who almost had the same features and demeanor as him, and that's why she mistook him for Mathieu.'Mathy can't be here,' She thought.The man smiled."Mathieu? Did you perhaps mistake me for someone, milady?""I apologized," Roesia replied."It's alright." The man gestured for her to take a seat on the sofa. "However, I am curious who is this man named Mathieu and why you mistook me for him."
Sidereae was putting away the bowls and wiping the table at the ramen shop where she works.It's been two days since she got her one-week suspension from the school. Linda and Marianne also received a one-week suspension and community service as punishment.However, Sidereae knew that Linda and her friends would never change. She hopes that when their punishment is over, the bullying will not worsen.She sighed.'I wish I had a strong mentality like Krynt and a high status like Roesia.'It was disappointing that she didn't manage to give a proper payback on Amira. It would be satisfying to get revenge on someone who looks like Marianne.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going downYou'll be alright, no one can hurt you nowCome morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound...""Hmm...mmn...mmn..."Mathieu is singing the song softly, Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift while holding Sidereae in his arms, and whenever he needs to calm Sid or Lull her to sleep, Mathieu always sings that song to her.They're currently lying on Sid's old bed in her old room.He wiped the dried tears on her cheek and carefully moved Sid into a comfortable position after seeing her asleep."You'll get sick if I
Tap, tap, tap!The butler hastened his footsteps in a hurry as he saw the time on his pocket watch.Nario arrived in front of the chamber where his master was and knocked on the huge wooden door."Master...this is Nario. I came to inform you that the carriage is already prepared.""Master..."Nario knocked again when he didn't receive any response from the Duke. Two minutes had passed, yet the Duke didn't reply to his call."Master, I'm coming in," Nario said and opened the door.When he opened the door, Nario was welcomed with a soft melody that was
