Today, Febrina intended to introduce the man who was now officially her boyfriend after their first meeting at the bar that night—Gavin Brooklyn—to her younger sister, Veronica. Indeed, she always introduced her boyfriend to Vero, to ask for blessings from her younger sister, who was the only family she had, after their parents divorced and abandoned them both. But this time, it was different. Because she was about to introduce her first non-human boyfriend, as she was not sure how Veronica would react when she learned that Gavin was not human. Should she tell her sister about Gavin's real identity, or keep it a secret for herself?
"Morning, Sis," with a big yawn, her younger sister walked out of her room, greeting her with her eyes still half-closed. Her younger sister walked to the kitchen, grabbed a glass and drank the water, then looked at her in amazement. "It's unusual for you to stay at home even though it's nine in the morning.""Y-yes, sometimes it's gooGavin looked doubtful as he said it. Several times she found him chewing his own lips while looking around as if worrying about something."Gavin? I won't know what's going on until you say it straight away. So, what's the problem?"Once again, the man expressed his panic—something he had never shown to her before. He continued to wait a few minutes until finally, Gavin was sure to say it. "You guys shouldn't be here any longer. Someone's after your little sister.""Targeting Vero?" she repeated in disbelief, trying to hold back the volume of her voice so that it was not too loud as she did not want her younger sister to hear her surprise. "Who's after my sister?""I explained to you before, remember? In our first meeting after you nearly got attacked by werewolves from another territory, about Schneider werewolf clan that is trying to create their own version of a new world?""Yes, I still remember about that part. Then?"
Stephen immediately got out of Karl's car as soon as he saw Gavin, who was seriously injured, along with Karl ran after him. He did ask the man to evacuate Nikki and her sister from their apartment as soon as Karl alerted Nikki to danger. He just thought at that time that maybe Nikki would only be targeted by Schneider's men. That was why he was a bit reluctant when Karl proposes to follow Gavin from a distance, making sure that their rescue plan went well according to their plan. Not surprising indeed, considering that he clearly knew Karl, who attaches great importance to perfectionism in whatever he did.His eyes saw for himself how Karl went straight into Gavin's car to meet Nikki, creating a spark of irritation mixed with jealousy in his heart. A feeling he knew that he should not have that.Actually, it was also the reason why he was a bit reluctant to follow. It was the fact that Karl and Nikki were officially dating when he decided to keep his dista
Veronica did not know whether her decision to turn herself into William in exchange for the safety of all those dearests to her was the right decision or not. She even did not know at all and could not decide it. All she knew was that the man who was now walking beside her, humming cheerfully, would not touch them for a while. At least for now. And at least that was what she wanted to believe. She could only hope by fate that the man, who looked like a man in his mid-thirties (Karl had already told her that he was much older than Karl) would keep his word. She had already stepped into a strange dimensional portal that the white robe man made it, brought them instantly into a castle with a dark interior, looked ancient, eerie. She saw a lot of people immediately lined up neatly to salute the man every time they crossed the castle corridor. Her eyes scanned the surroundings of the castle, which was so gloomy, made her body trembled in fear so much that sh
The man's eyes blinked for a moment, then locked again on the ball that was still in his hand, smiling a gentle smile that contrasted with his stern masculine face."This guy is my entertainer. Remember when you were little and often played in the forest?"Now, there was one more person in her past that she barely remembered, appeared in front of her, claiming to be the person she met in the past. The difference was that she did not know the man's existence in her memories at all. Never did she remember that she had met an arrogant-looking man with William's dishevelled appearance until the last before her legs were crushed and had to be amputated."I believe you have something I need," the man said as he tucked the ball back into his bomber jacket, staring at her so awkward
Karl was furious, unable to contain his anger any longer when he heard directly from Gavin the cause of the failure of his plan. He should have listened to Erick's advice a while ago when he asked him to be wary of his ex-fiancée. From a long time ago, the woman was brought up with excessive affection from the people around her, forming a spoiled personality who did not want to admit defeat in the slightest. Thinking that as long as he could still get it, he would get it even if she had to use the dirty trick. Like attacking Nikki. In fact, he had repeatedly told Odelia that their engagement was annulled, even before it was actually formalized. He did not know what was that woman thinking in her minds that brought her to think that they were still officially engaged. Even to the delusion that he and the woman wore engagement rings as an official sign of their relationship.In fact, only the woman used it, because she did not use it at all. The first thing he did
Erick could not help himself but laugh when he saw Theodore's high enthusiasm––his boyfriend who had just fully recovered after an attack from a bastard who now could no longer hurt him after Karl killed him, that he had already prepared a flight ticket to Madrid for four days. Like now, dragging him to shop in one of the biggest shopping malls in Waterford city, reasoning he wants to buy new clothes and luggage. The reason he could understand was that in his entire life, his boyfriend had never set foot out of the Waterford area.It did not matter to him. As long as he could still see the big smile on the man's face, who always managed to distract his world from anything. Making his attention only focused on the man, who was now inviting him to enter Valentino's boutique. He enjoyed every second of his time with Theo, looking at the serious, considerate face of the man as he chose what clothes to wear."Uh, Eric, hello! You didn't forget to tak
Stephen was outside the empty room that turned the function into the Gavin treatment room, close up all his hands anxiously. He was not thinking about Gavin's condition, as the medical teams already told him that Gavin should be getting better soon. But he was anxious, thinking about Nikki, which he still had no updates about her condition after the woman chose to accept William, and he did not get any news from Karl yet.He continued to stare at his legs, violating his stupidity because he had felt intimidated by a strong werewolf aura from William Schneider. He should be beating the man instantly, so there would be no chance for the man to get Nikki. So he could still see Nikki, which might be currently beside him, smiling softly with her angelic smile that similar to the painting of Rennaissance.But in fact, the woman was not with him right now. Not beside him. She was not here to scolding him––even though he doubted the last part because he had n
"You must be joking with me, right? No way!"Nora now puffed out her cheeks with her arms crossed in front of her chest, sitting unhappily on the couch. Dressed in an oversized grey sweater, short blonde hair (which he remembered very clearly was not being Nora's hairstyle but whatever), short jeans that showed off her long legs to made her looked tall despite the fact that she was short, Nora glared at the two of them, answering his and Karl's request with a quick shake of her head."I can not do something risky. Do not wanna do that. Nora doesn't want to get involved in such a complicated business."Karl played with his hands, dispelling his confusion at hearing Nora's rejection. “But my girlfriend is in danger––”“I will also be in danger if I comply with your request. What payment can I get if I help you guys to save the human girl that you said named Veronica Darren?”"How about
“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. Even though the woman submitted her course work via e-mail about three days ago.Where has Veronica gone? What happened to Veronica not to show her nose on campus? Even though he had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the university as a lecturer so he could approach Veronica.Now, he felt like an
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
