Chapter: Chapter 172: Going HomeAS ALESTERIA packed her bags, she couldn't help but reminisce the two years she stayed in the academy. She remembered having fun around the campus, Kallista and her enjoying lunch by the oak tree behind the building, and the times Parie stole from the dessert aisle at the cafeteria.It was quite a ride for her and leaving feels surreal. It felt bittersweet as the breeze blew coldly, autumn might just be a week away as she closed her window.She closed her eyes and sighed, turning to look at the room she resided for the past two years, an unfamiliarity strings along as she looked at the half-barren room."This feels oddly...sad." She muttered to herself as she looked down at the bag on her bed, yet to be filled with clothes.‘I never expected to be so nostalgic about this.’Alesteria smiled to herself, feeling that the quiet halls and main grounds that are usually filled with people are what

Chapter: Chapter 171: A New AgeLOUD CHEERS and chants can be heard throughout the stadium as a woman with a high ponytail and blonde hair stepped into the stage, her outfit is similar to those who will go horse-riding except there is a slight modification.She is wearing a half cape, one that is on her right shoulder alone, as well as a badge that glistened when the sunlight shined on it.It was a badge of the magic department and as soon as she stopped in the middle of the stage, a large screen projecting her was shown to the rest who can't see her clearly as the stage is farther from the audience seats.One girl bounced excitedly, her dark magenta hair and jade-colored eyes waved at the person while a certain lapiz-lazuli eyed prince kept her at bay, putting hand on her waist."Alesteria!"The blonde-girl, Alesteria, turned to who called her name so familiarly and as she did, everyone screamed louder as Alesteria smiled beautifully while waving back gracefully.The girl who called her is Eve, and beside her is Ai

Chapter: Chapter 170: What Comes Next"CLASS DISMISSED."The sound of the studengs chattering as they left the room made Alesteria breathe out a sigh of relief. It has been a month since she started teaching and her classes are well-made, as one of the professors said when they passed by one time when she was teaching.'Not sure whether to take that as an insult or compliment.' Alesteria thought as she shakes her head.She gather up her things and the moment she stepped out of the room, she saw Kallista waiting for her with a huge smile on her face, her eyes sparkling."Ales!" Kallista happily called as she walked towards Alesteria.Alesteria thought it was a puppy waiting for her, seeing how Kallista is in a good mood."Kallista, you're here early." Alesteria commented with a smile on her face as well.Kallista giggled and blushed, "Well, it is near lunch time and you know... We are eating at the cafeteria, right?"Alesteria almost laughed at how Kallista suddenly blushed, hearing that lunch break is in about five minute

Chapter: Chapter 169: An ExemptionIF ALESTERIA hadn't had such a lengthy patience span, she would have lost her cool right then and there. Thankfully, with years and centuries of being with Parie, that patience paid off quite well. Speaking of Parie, the same pixie is annoying Alesteria after she returned to her side and Alesteria has returned to her dorm after teaching. It was still a little early, so Alesteria decided to read a book in peace, but Pari seemed to have other plans for them. "C'mon! Just tell me a little bit! We are friends, right? Comrades! Please Alesteria!" Parie pestered her as she keeps flying around Alesteria's head like a pesky bug. Alesteria sighed, irritated, as she waves her hand and send a gust of wind to Parie's direction which made her flew back as she tumbled with a soft thud on the bed. "Hey! That wasn't very nice!" She said angrily with a pout as she sat up, crossing her arms. Alesteria closes her book and stared at Parie before finally giving in. "Fine. What is it that you wanted

Chapter: Chapter 168: New Changes"HELLO, EVERYONE. I am Alesteria Elsi Alaric, your new assistant professor for this semester. It's nice to meet you all." Alesteria's honey-blonde hair, which was normally not tied or braided, is now in a ponytail as she wore glasses. It was not her idea to wear something like that, but Laroi convinced her to make her look more 'professor-like' in Laroi's term. After Alesteria introduced herself, Laroi standing next to her, the students from the academic’s department whispered to themselves as they stare at Alesteria. They are confused as to why she is there as their curiosity and confusion began to create a buzz, not because Alesteria is an assistant professor, but because she is standing in front of everyone in her uniform. Not just in her uniform, which is the same as the rest of the students in the academic department, she is still wearing her magic department badge as it is proudly pinned on her right chest. Usually, an assistant professor instructing the first-year students

Chapter: Chapter 167: Some Kind Of AllianceALESTERIA WAS still calm, but she was annoyed at how Kallista is acting. Both of them are sixteen and they are in the same grade, same class. However, many can see the stark difference between the two. And yet, no one dared to pick sides. Kallista didn't utter a word after Alesteria spoke and they just stared at each other, wanting to be the victor in this staring contest as the air got colder. It is not just their gazes, but Kallista is unknowingly releasing her mana that made the temperature go low. If Alesteria is capable of controlling the pressure and air, Kallista can influence the temperature depending on her mood. Alesteria notices this and took note of it, but as of the moment, she did nothing. Alesteria is unaffected by it, but the other students are not, so it is no surprise when the cold atmosphere was cut short by a familiar voice, breaking the staring contest. "Kallista!" Alesteria and Kallista turned their head simultaneously. From the door, they saw Levi panting

The Crown Prince's Prisoner
He was magnificent in her eyes before.
The way he strides down the stairs which such power and authority, the way he carried himself with such elegance and dignity, the way those eyes scanned the area while it shone vividly like the bright morning sun.
He was her god, before.
Now that she was given this chance to redeem herself, to save herself before disaster strikes once again in the Empire.
She will waste no time freeing herself from the clutches of this man.
The Crown Prince.
She bowed her head as soon as he descended and everyone in the ballroom, including herself, greeted the prince.
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
'Yes, welcome back indeed.'

Amerielise Lovette was nothing more than a social butterfly. She was well-known for her appearance that sends men into an abyss of admiration and longing for her.
She was so beautiful that she was described as the flower in the cliff when the sun sets.
However, no matter the effort many men put to make her notice them, she only has her eyes on one man.
It is her childhood friend, the Crown Prince.
She loved the crown prince and was loyal to the royal family. She was like a dog willing to abide every wish he whispers, kissing the ground he walked on, blindly following him.
She was naive to the dark intentions that the prince has in stored for her.
In his eyes, she was just another pawn.
She died.
She was given a second life, a life where she vowed to do the right thing and not be the dog that she once was.
She stepped away from her fate.
The moment that she did, things go south and that is how she ended up in the Crown Prince's clutches again.

Chapter: Chapter 8: Play PretendAMERIE was reading peacefully at her pavilion in the garden when she heard someone call her so familiarly, and that someone will ruin her day once again. Just like how she always did in the past. "SISTER!" Looking up from her book, she saw Amelia running towards her with a bright smile while holding a huge basket as a maid that was assigned to her rushes behind her; seemingly flustered that a noble lady would carry such an item. If Amerie is the same as before, she will find this act endearing and cute regardless of how the other maids attached to Amelia to care for her looked at her with disgust. She never noticed it before, but maybe she was just blinded by Amelia's actions that she didn't bother to notice this. However, she is not the same Amerie as she once was. Moreover, it is deemed unbecoming of Amelia to do such a thing but the Voulir couple spoiled her rotten, never lecturing her on how to act as a proper lady. Hence, Amelia has no regards to her actions. To be exact,

Chapter: Chapter 7: A Parent's LoveMEANWHILE, after the whole event that happened yesterday including where the Margrave raised his blade towards a person for the first time in 15 years, Lilia was feeling pumped at this new change. 'All it took was the words of the young mistress for him to take action.' She thought as she laughed joyfully. 'This gut of mine is telling me that I should follow the young mistress if I want to see something entertaining.' Lilia was originally a mercenary that was sent to kill the Margrave before. She was skilled and was the top mercenary in her guild, that is why she was in demand and always on a mission. She took the mission to kill the Margrave under the order of the previous emperor, the older brother of the current emperor, and was given quite a huge amount to do the job. She thought it was going to be easy but she never would've imagine that she will be hanging to the brink of death when she attacked him, admiring his swordsmanship, and deciding to follow him after he saved her l

Chapter: Chapter 6: Wannabe HeiressAMERIE calmly settled her cup down, whilst trying to put on a kind facade, like what she always did in the past whenever Keres would visit her for comfort after he locked her up. It was something she is quite a master of, and seeing Amelia in front of her breathing the once good air that surrounded her earlier, she decided to keep her anger in check as she smiled at her. Like what she usually does in the past. "Amelia, what brings you here?" Amelia rolled her eyes at Amerie's words and, without any reserve, sat on the chair that was in front of Amerie as she waved her hand to the maid. It was as if she was the heiress of the house than Amerie. Amelia Voulir, Amerie's second cousin and the only daughter of the Voulir house, waltz into the garden with a sour expression on her face. Amelia has golden hair that glistens under the sun while her eyes were a lighter blue. She is a beauty, no doubt about that, but she is nowhere near Amerie's. The maid beside Amerie glanced at her as s

Chapter: Chapter 5: One Step At A TimeAMERIE had never slept like a baby before, but she did.Coming from her past life, she knew how to sleep with one eye open in any case that assassins will visit her at night or it is just Keres, merely destroying her sanity.Still, she shouldn't feel too comfortable.Even if she woke up without a threat to her life, that doesn't mean that she escaped her fate.There is still the probability of that maid following with the plan of the Voulir, but witnessing the scene yesterday, she doubts that will be the case.Amerie stood up, feeling refreshed, as she headed to a table where a basin of lukewarm water was already prepared for her.She washed her face to wake her up from her sleepy state then patted herself dry with the towel beside the basin.While she was doing so, a knock came from the door."Young mistress? Are you up?"Amerie paused for a moment as she sets down the towel, answering the maid from the

Chapter: Chapter 4: A Threat Is A ThreatAMERIE was patient enough to stay in her room with her nanny whilst staring at a nearby window, seeing a carriage go off into the distance.She was sure that her father sent the empty carriage to confirm her statement, but Amerie is still nervous if what happened in the past will still occur this time.Amerie is not sure if the events of the past will happen in her present, but it is always a good thing to avoid it from happening beforehand.She has no certainty but being careful is a good step.On the other hand, if Amerie is being honest, she viewed the Voulirs as dumb nobles.In the past, when they plot the incident, instead of erasing their tracks and traces, they left tons of evidence that pinpoints the culprits being them.They were rather sloppy in denying their involvement, causing the Margrave to look deeper.Ultimately, they were caught and their sins were brought to light.Amerie has never seen such

Chapter: Chapter 3: Changing Fate"AMERIE, why do you suddenly not want to go? Is it because you are nervous?"It was her mother who broke the silence that engulfed the whole room, even the maids were frozen in their places as both her nanny and Lilia looked quite startled.How couldn't they feel that way? Just a few days ago, Amerie is overjoyed that the Voulir invited her to their home to make peace.She knew the Voulir and their history with the Lovette ever since she knew how to walk.The twisted version was fed to her by the Voulir themselves when they would often visit for the annual family reunion.Amerie found a friend within Amelia, the Voulir's youngest daughter.Amerie, being herself, trusted the Voulir. The deceit and lies that they fed her reached the Margrave but he couldn't do anything, seeing how her daughter was happily interacting with them.Instead, he decided to create a countermeasure if ever the Voulirs crosses the line.H
