2024-10-29 19:42:56After the dinner was over, Veronica thanked Theodore Pedrosa for the unexpected feast. She had never met Theodore apart from hearing from Bianca's story. Her best friend's description of her older brother was very accurate—tense, uptight-type and intimidating at first sight, but becoming the warm, friendly type if people spent their time with him a little longer. Unlike Bianca who dyed her hair silver and had a striking haircut, Theodore still maintained his natural black colour with a neat haircut that was styled as necessary using hair gel, making him look more elegant. There was some remnant of Theodore and Bianca's similarities—their brown eyes, their cold and pale skin tone, and their thin lips. People who did not know them well would not realize that they were siblings until they spend any longer getting to know them better.

Febrina walked down the streets of Waterford city, which was busy because it was Saturday, filled with people walking without paying attention to their surroundings. It had been almost a year since she had visited her hometown and saw the many changes that had taken place during her absence.For instance, a building that used to be a bookstore that had always been her favourite place to spend time has now become an abandoned building filled with wild plants that vine to the outside. Only the signboard in the shop remained. There was a signboard posted near the building bearing the name and telephone number of the property agent who handled the place, indicating the place had been sold by the owner.Disappointed that her usual favourite place has disappeared, she submits herself to wandering aimlessly through the city. She only

Veronica sat in an empty soccer stadium because today was not a match schedule, just daily practice, accepted the coke drink given by Dania—her department mate—and drank it until it was half as she was very thirsty. Among all her classmates, only Dania was easy to approach because they had the same status as her; people who are marginalized from their campus social friendships. Dania was the lone-wolf type—prefers to spend their time alone and immerse theirself in the fantasy world of their imagination inside their mind, pouring it into an online novel that always airs twice a week on an online novel platform—Goodnovel. Not many students proclaim their gender identity like Dania who has come out as non-binary, so people still feel strange about Dania's gender identity even though Waterford city was very open and welcoming to the freedom of gender expression. But Dania was not a person who cared about what people think of them, because their friend lives by their own rules. Wearing a

Driving a woman home when they were not feeling well was definitely not a good idea. Absolutely not, and should be avoided. His fingers tapped the steering wheel as soon as the blue Bugatti Vero he was driving had passed out of the Nikki campus building. The atmosphere got even more awkward because he had no idea to open a conversation and there was no initiative from Nikki to break up the strange atmosphere they both created. His eyes moved from side to side, pretending that he was paying attention to the road that was actually not too busy as an excuse to peek at Nikki. The woman looked out of the window, although he was absolutely sure that the woman's thoughts had drifted far out of her body, further away from the scene before her eyes. Unable to stand the increasingly negative atmosphere that they already created, he finally cleared his throat so that Nikki's attention was diverted from the traffic ahead towards him."Yes?" Nikki replied, looking at him.

It has been more than a month since she filed a leave of absence from the campus because of her mother's death. It was a bit complicated to explain how she had been feeling to her birth mother. She wants her mother to stay alive, and to take responsibility for her actions that have made her haunted by guilt and nightmares for killing Theo's birth mother—Irene Pedrosa—in front of her and Theo. She wanted her mother to pay for her sin and the fact that her mother died not at her hands, but at the hands of Theodore's subordinates who had defected to Schneider's side shook her. Especially when she saw for herself how his mother's body was destroyed, not leaving the slightest bit of beauty that her mother had been proud of when she was still alive. It was terrifying. She was unable to look at her mother any longer and asked the people who took care of her mother's body to cover the white cloth that covered her late mother's body again.

Stephen puffed the cigarette smoke he inhaled deeply into the air, creating a puff of smoke that moves to fill his office room before the smoke disappeared with the surrounding air. His back rested on his work chair by crossing his legs that rest on his desk. Beside his right leg, dozens of cigarette butts lined up irregularly in the cigarette ashtray made of recycled wood. His dark blue eyes looked at the ceiling of the room that was actually not very attractive but still successfully made him stare at the ceiling for a long time. To be precise, his mind was currently on Nikki, and the blank ceiling worked as a projector helping him project all of his memories with Nikki as much as he had.Nikki's cute face frowned in annoyance as he gave her a bouquet of roses for reasons that were still a mystery to him. Nikki's happy smile when she found out that he had not offered to pick her up becaus

Theodore's tapered fingers tapped anxiously at his desk, watching the computer monitor on his desk. His head rested on his hands that were on the table as he took a deep breath. The cup filled with fresh human blood that his servant had prepared since three hours ago had not yet been touched by him."Still busy?"Erick put his arm around Theodore's shoulder, taking him back. The man grabbed the cup which was still full of contents, brought it close to Theodore's lips to forced him to drink it. Reluctantly, he drank it."Yes.""Work? About high-ranking people who are still asking you to resign from your position?" Erick brought the cup back, forced him to drink it again but he quickly pushed the cup away while checkin

Veronica was eating her lollipop, locking her brown eyes in front of the fifty-inch TV screen while sitting cross-legged on Karl's soft sofa chair, watching the Shadowhunters series which has hit season four (or part three B?) with deep disappointment at seeing the scene where Jace tried to reclaim Clary from Clary's brother, Jonathan Morgenstern. She growled in annoyance that she did not like Jace for interfering with Clary's plan until she did not realize that she almost bit into the lollipop so hard it made her grimace a little at it. There was a soft laugh emanating from Karl, and when she turned to the left to face Karl, the man was covering his nose with his left hand while turning his head away while Karl's right arm was still on her shoulder. The strange thing was, she did not bother at all. Even though she usually would have protested when other people touched her shoulder like that.

"Okay, Stephen. I think you have an explanation for this? "Gavin crossed his arms, stood facing him while waiting for an answer from him. Half-disbelieving to see what was in front of his eyes at this time, Stephen looked at the Pedrosa clan prison building which was in chaos due to the prisoners who managed to get out of their cells, beating the prison guards and security guards who were helpless facing angry prisoners who went on a rampage taking out their frustration at being treated like societal trash."Let's see from the positive side, Gavin. We have come at the right time. There's no need to sneak around and fake our plan of attack,” he patted Gavin on the shoulder, grumbling disgusted with his answer, gesturing Arabelle, Lorenzo, Toni, Fabiola, and Gavin themselves to go inside.A burly prisoner with canines sticking out of his mouth immediately greeted Stephen. Gavin moved quickly to lock the movement of th

“Montessa! Is the time spell ready?”Bianca called out to Montessa as she ran up to Montessa. He played with the glocks still in his hand, then returned them to Montessa. “Thank you for wanting to lend me your weapon.”"Yes. Already!" On Montessa's right, a dimensional portal appears that is the same as Nora's, but has a lighter colour. Montessa's eyes turned to the soldiers who were now running like crazy after stuffing the glocks into their pockets. "What's wrong with them? What did you do to them?”"It's not the important thing you should be thinking about," Bianca patted Montessa on the shoulder. "Can we go in now? I hope your spell won't throw us into the wrong timeline.”“Hey, what you said hurts you know!” Montessa defended herself. “I always succeed in casting my spells when it comes to time magic. “And yes, it is safe. We're going back to the 21st century.”"Good," he turned his head back, looking at Erna's figure standing behind him.Erna's hand gripped his hand tightly, vis

Can they say that the mission was a success or not? That question kept popping up in Bianca's mind again and again as they ran to avoid the pursuit of the royal guards. In front of her, Montessa ran along with Felicia Chen, whom they managed to release from prison. All she knew, for now, was that she couldn't let go of Erna's wrist, which was running behind her. “How much longer we should wait!?” she shouted at Montessa, who was in front of her. "What?! I didn't hear your question, Pedrosa!” Montessa called back to Bianca, then turned his gaze back to the front as he saw more and more royal troops chasing the two of them. “I'm trying to recover my magic energy! Buy some more time!” “Easy for you to say, old man!” Bianca pulled Erna into her arms when she saw one of the royal troops trying to cut Erna with his sword. She parried the sword using his leg kick and threw the sword so that it stuck into one of the trees around the forest path. “Montessa! Lend me some weapons! There are

Karl hummed happily and fell in love with the new magic sword Alec had created for him. The sword that belonged to his grandfather, which he gave to Nora in exchange for Veronica's safety (he did not regret his decision at the time), he could indeed use without the slightest problem. But in all aspects, the sword was out of character for him.First, in terms of design. He was actually not a fan of swords that had lots of carvings on them. His taste was very different from his grandfather's sword, which has that element. In terms of the magical energy that can be absorbed by the magic sword inherited from his grandfather, there was not much the sword could absorb from his energy, because the sword inherited from his grandfather tended to use the emotions of its user.When his grandfather was still alive, his grandfather was the type of person who was easily provoked by anger. That disposition of his was also justified by his life principle of glorifying the dragon race. From the pas

Until an hour ago, they were still at Alec's house, trying out the new magic weapon Alec created.But right now, he and Karl and Stephen are busy helping Alex and Nicholas to kill the monsters that come to Alec's house.The monster was like Alec's description a while ago while visiting Pedrosa's residence. He had never come face to face with a monster created by William Schneider, so he was very surprised to see the real shape of the monster.He slashed one of the heads of the monsters that were about to attack him with their canine teeth. Their blood spurted out, hitting his body, emitting a strange hiss.There was a feeling of pity in him as he looked at the corpse of the monster in front of him. Recalling what Karl had said about the origins of the monsters, he felt some sympathy. In the past, these monsters had a quiet life.If it weren't for William Schneider, they might still be enjoying their quiet lives right now...A feeling of hatred for William Schneider welled up inside Ve

William tapped his fingers nervously on his desk. Currently he was in his office at the university where Veronica Darren studied, with an irritated and bored expression.He didn't care about the rows of work piled up on his desk. Or the list of files in his email when he turns on his computer as soon as he enters his study.Or the attention of the students who tried to approach him. Or also the fact that at work, there are so many bouquets of flowers, snacks, or gift boxes of various sizes filling the room.He didn't care about that.All he cared about was Veronica Darren's presence. But since two weeks ago, that woman has not been on campus at all, nor has she attended any of her classes.

Don't do anything flashy, huh?Both Erna and Bianca looked at Montessa with deep eyes. Because of Montessa's stupidity that didn't estimate the risks that would occur if she went straight to the prison, the royal guards immediately arrested the three of them and took them to a room in the prison building.There were no windows around where they were, so all they could do was guess how long they had been there. There were only flaming torches hanging on the walls to illuminate the place.Even more annoying, the room was so damp and smelly, that it was difficult for him to feel comfortable staying in this place for a long time. He even admired the fighting spirit of the people who used to languish in this prison.Across the prison they were in, there was an old woman with a shabby appearance who kept cursing in a language she didn't understand towards the prison guards who were passing through the corridors of the prison."I didn't expect that the plan I made would end like this," Monte

Erna's eyes narrowed, looking intently at Bianca who was running excitedly along the path in the forest. Montessa suggested that they change into what people of the time they are currently in, so the man cast a spell to change their clothes.She was dressed in a duchess outfit that was so sparkling, dark blue in color and looked so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off of the dress she was wearing.But that wasn't what made it hard to focus on the mission this time. But because of Bianca. His girlfriend was wearing a 15th century gentleman's suit. Clothes that seemed to be created just for Bianca to wear, even though she knew that Montessa changed Bianca's clothes into men's clothes because she always forgot the fact that Bianca was a woman.Bianca didn't protest at all, of course. He knew that Bianca liked the androgynous appearance despite her always claiming to be a fully woman, so he shouldn't be surprised to see Bianca's current appearance.Yet, she found herself falling

She regretted her decision.She meant, she really regretted it.Erna looked at the environment around her with uncertain feelings. She was no longer in the 21st century with the technology and practicality offered by that century. But they were now around five centuries ago when technology and the internet were not yet available and witch hunts were still a common practice."It looks like we've come to the right time."Right now, Montessa was proudly standing to her right, using his magic to brush away the dirt and grime from his clothes. The man did not even pay attention to the fact that thanks to his goddamn time dimension magic, she and Bianca fell flat on the ground until their clothes were all dirty.Montessa did not even tell them or give any signal that they were going to land in the middle of the forest. Montessa only asked them to jump into the time dimension magic as soon as the man finished casting the spell.Yesterday he decided to agree to Montessa's offer by becoming th

Karl responded to Stephen's words with a low laugh. "Actually, there's something I don't understand." "Yes?" “Why did you make me a magic weapon? Moreover, from my knowledge, ordering magic weapons from the Berthold family is very expensive…” “In my opinion, the lives of living things are more expensive and valuable than the Berthold family's magic weapons,” Karl shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. “For me, you and Karen are the most important people in my life. I already consider you like my own family, and I know you love Karen too.” "I …" "Don't deny it, Steve. How long do you think I know you?" Karl looked up at the ceiling of the room. “Our current situation is so chaotic. War. The problem of racism in the Dragon clan. A showdown between vampire families. Somehow it feels like there are so many problems coming our way that I can't spare my spare time to go on a date with Karen. It sucks…” "I feel guilty too," Stephen said. “Last time I asked Nikki out, my brother cam
