Karl stomped his right foot as soon as he sat down in his chair, cursing Stephen for preferring to get out of the man's study alone and leave him and Nikki there. Again and again, he snorted in frustration. He wanted to throw his best friend with his shoes if he didn't remember that the shoes he was wearing had just been made yesterday.
His attention then turned to Nikki who returned to focus on the report he showed Nikki. Even though he was one hundred per cent certain that she was actually harbouring the same irritation towards Stephen, she was far more successful at not showing it on the woman's cute face when responding to Stephen's attitude. In fact, she had managed to do something she had never seen in any of the other women who had approached Stephen or been around Stephen at all: responded to his argument in a confident tone.
In fact, he was willing to bet that Stephen was as surprised as he was. He must also not have expected that the young human woman named

Nicholas Southampton awoke again from their slumber this morning with annoyance mixed with hatred. Recently, since they managed to get out of their critical period due to their body's recovery process which was weirdly going slower than their usual, they have started to dream of things that they have never experienced before. In their dream, they become the figure of a small child who was always surrounded by people around him with care and affection. In their dream, they could see that the boy had everything they had hoped they would get from their family. The boy's laughter, as well as the warm welcome from the boy's entire family, brought up a few bitter memories that they never wanted to recall. They even got a real feeling for what it was like when the boy's parents hugged the b
Alec sat with his knees crossed, propping his head on his knee with his right hand throwing a small pebble into a pool of calm, serene water without any ornamental fish or creatures in it. His eyes stared far, further away from the pool. Bringing him back to the time before he almost died and things got even more chaotic as he currently had to deal with right now. "It is not you who are lucky. But I am the lucky one to have a boyfriend like you, Alec Berthold.” His eyes automatically closed when Erna's voice suddenly came to him, reflected in his mind. Created an echo that almost drove him crazy from it. The feeling of longing for that woman's presence overflowed in his heart just hearing the illusion of that woman's voice in his mind. He wanted to leave this place, ran out to find Erna at Pedrosa's residence and approached the woman to feel her embrace again. The warm hug from Erna, which made him feel that he was not the future head of the new Berthold fami
Bianca stared at the scene in front of her as soon as the car prepared by Erick's father arrived at La Concha beach. She immediately got out of the car after closing the car window which she had lowered when their car entered the beach area, intending to open the door for Erna when she saw that the woman had already gotten out of the car before him, managed to create a little feeling of disappointment in her for not being able showing Erna her gentleman side. “It is really beautiful …” Erna's comment, which was immediately spoken on the woman's tiny lips when she looked at the beach view offered by La Concha beach, instantly erased the feeling of disappointment that had enveloped her heart just now. She was about to close the car door when the Zhang family car driver forbade her to do so and asked her to immediately follow Erna, who had already left her, so she hurriedly thanked the driver while following Er
Apparently, it's not only on the beach that the ancient atmosphere like exploring a time capsule takes place. Restaurants that rely on seafood dishes as their mainstay menu––where they currently spend their mornings enjoying breakfast menus also provide the same atmosphere as when they were at the beach. Both he and Erna tried to dispel the strange feeling of seeing the strange gazes of people looking at them by pretending not to pay attention to the questioning gazes of these people, but the longer they tried to ignore it, the more intense their gazes became on him. Some people even try to approach them with a straight face and stiff doll-like movements, such as a woman with curly auburn hair in a 1920s suit like silent film actress Clara Bow. “Are you foreign tourists?” The woman's question alone was enough to make the hairs on her neck shudder with horror. She had lost her appetite to enjoy his breakfast menu, put away his plate which still had a lot of le
It really felt like deja vu to her. She gulped nervously, unable to stop her entire body from shaking violently as soon as she found that she and Bianca were being surrounded from all sides by a lot of strange people. Including an old-fashioned woman who was clearly trying to seduce Bianca away from her when Bianca had said very clearly that she had refused the woman's offer. Instead of giving up, the woman actually cursed her right in front of her without feeling embarrassed while doing it. In front of her face! This was the first time she had met a woman who was shamelessly being impudent in front of her. From all the women who had approached Bianca––or all of Bianca's countless ex-girlfriends in the past as far as she knew, only that one was the most disrespec
Alec looked around the room he was currently in since the time he entered this place. It was so dark that it was hard for his eyes to get used to the darkness. His fear kept moving around him, even though his heart kept trying to instil a sense of courage in him as his paternal grandfather taught him from childhood. He timidly looked back, hoping to find a quick way out of that endless place, but alas, there was nothing. Only he and the darkness accompany him. Swallowing saliva, he tried again to cover up his fear by continuing to force himself to move down the endless hallway. There was no end in this place, and he did not know how long he had spent in that increasingly becoming cold every time he stepped in. What was clear, he just wanted to get out of this terrible place as soon as possible. Faintly, he heard a sound like sobbing that managed to provoke his fear. The sound of sobs was faint at first before echoing through the room with every step he to
He shook his head quickly, brushing off the idea that had just crossed his mind while continuing to curse at his own stupidity. He must be crazy. He must have lost his mind to think that he wanted to devote his all to protecting Nicholas Southampton as he had thought. Actually, what happened to him? His eyes subconsciously followed the figure of little Nicholas, who finally parted with the figure of the annoying woman earlier. His feet automatically moved closer to the figure of little Nicholas, and this time, he was able to touch what was there. Immediately he used the opportunity to help little Nicholas open the door, even though his other mind was trying hard to digest the strange situation he was experiencing right now. The kid’s lips moved faintly, in a low, hoarse voice that barely caught his ears, but he still understood what Nicholas had just said in the form of the child. ["Thank you."] It seemed like little Nicholas had run o
Veronica adjusted the speed of her irregular breathing. The combat training that Isabella explained was a basic technique for beginners that turned out to be really difficult. She could feel her whole body shaking violently from the intensity of the first day of her combat training. If someone asked her whether she regretted her decision back then to accept Karl's offer or not, the answer was obvious; she quite regretted her decision. All the same, there was no turning back to retract the decision she had made. Things are moving in a dire direction, leaving her with no lucrative option but to learn to protect herself. At least, she would not bother Karl or the people around him if something happened to her in the future. A sense of awe now wells up in her heart, praising how powerful Claire Fray--the protagonist of her favourite Netflix drama series, Shadowhunters--was forced by circumstances to learn to accept her new identity as a half-angel and her new dut
“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
