Chapter 76: Princess Cassiel
“Are you all right?” Cassiel asked in a worried tone. She left their classroom right after dismissal because Kael said that Dio went back to their house.
However, the Dio who was supposed to be not feeling well chuckled when he saw her worried eyes. Dio comfortably sat on the couch while Blur was on his lap.
“I just thought that I should rest after working hard, your highness.”
Cassiel shook her head in disappointment. She was somehow relieved but also annoyed that she worried for nothing.
“Are you worried because you thought I wouldn’t be able to escort you to the ball, your highness?” Dio asked, but his smile implied that he was just teasing her.
“Don’t worry, I know you are healthy enough to attend the ball with me.” Cassiel let out a smile as she sat across from him.
“Master, that girl is also a fairy!” Dio froze for a moment when he heard the elemental’s voice

Dio stood right outside Cassiel’s room, waiting for her to finish preparing. He heard that the empress sent her the imperial stylist to make her outstanding at the ball so he felt somehow anxious that his partner would be the most beautiful person in the academy.“A penny for your thoughts?”Dio looked at the familiar voice and for a moment, he was stunned at her dazzling beauty. A smile crept on his lips when he saw her olive green off-shoulder ball gown adorned with golden linings and intricate embroidery. Her light-red hair, almost pink, was down in long easy curls and a silver tiara was placed on the top of her head.“You look like a princess, your highness,” Dio teased her as he offered his arm for her to hold.“Well, I am a princess, Mister Armani.” Cassiel laughed softly as she held onto Dio’s arm. They went down and out of the house together and they rode the carriage that was waiting for them.

Dio immediately pulled the curtain on the window and covered his back. He couldn’t hide how he trembled when he realized that prince Andriel saw his back. Of all people, how could he be so reckless and let an imperial family member see his secret crest? He looked down, biting his lips, as he thought of a way to make him forget about what he saw. Was there some kind of spell to erase memories? “Answer me!” Andriel shook his shoulder but he kept his head down. If he answered the Prince, he would tell him his secret that he kept hidden for the past eleven years. He wanted to keep the secret buried until his death but that would be impossible because a prince saw his crest. He would never let it go for sure. “Tell me, are you my illegitimate sibling?” Andriel’s hold on him loosen and he slowly dropped to the ground knee first. “Were you hidden by his majesty so that the thing that happened to Crown Prince Amiel wouldn’t happen to you? Or was it because yo
Clandestine Empire: Return of the Lost Chapter 79: A Sudden Attack
After the dramatic moment with the family, they ate supper like usual but Dio felt like he grew a lot closer to them. He felt like the burden he hid deep inside him was taken and shared with them. He thought that they would feel awkward if they knew but he was proven wrong. They cared for him no matter who he was or what his status was in the past. His grandfather left him in the care of good people. Dio went out of the house as he was unable to sleep. He was so happy that he could feel himself brimming with so much energy. He took his daggers with him while Blur followed behind him. “Would you like to spar with me, Blur?” Dio smiled when Blur transformed into an almost 4 feet black panther. “You’ve grown a lot.” “Actually, I wanted to show you something,” Blur said and he transformed again. A blinding light covered his body so Dio had no choice but to close his eyes. After the light faded, Dio opened his eyes again and he couldn’t believe what was in

The two stopped in the middle of the forest. At first look, one would see that the place was just surrounded by trees and nothing was out of place. However, there was a magic barrier and illusion magic cast on the place so that no one would see the hidden community of the Faerie tribe. At first, they were just a bunch of outcasts and misfits taken in by a small family of Faerie descent. The head of the family was a half-faerie and he was cast out for his dark skin, sharp ears, and black eyes. Though half-human, he was treated worse than a monster so he started living in the middle of the dark forest near the academy. After a few generations, their community grew in number and the children of the family married the humans living with them. They started to call their community the Faerie tribe since most of them carried Faerie blood. Since the Faerie blood wasn’t as concentrated as it was before, their chosen leader would be the one who inherited a Faerie’s characteris
Clandestine Empire: Return of the Lost Chapter 81: An Announcement
After the day-off, the elite class was back to their house as they were supposed to but they didn’t expect a sudden change because of what happened at the ball. “What are you doing here, your highness?” Dio asked when he saw Andriel in front of his room. “Don’t be so cold to me,” Andriel said with a slight smile. “We’re close enough to share secrets, right?” Dio couldn’t believe his ears. Andriel used to be a very warm and mature prince, but the Andriel in front of him looked bothersome. “What do you want, your highness?” he asked as he smiled awkwardly. The eyes of the other elites were on him, curious about the secret that the prince mentioned. “Since I took a liking to you, why don’t you start calling me by my name?” Andriel suggested as he pulled Dio down to the receiving area where all the elites were gathered. The real reason why Andriel was there was to personally give them an announcement. There would be an announcement posted
Clandestine Empire: Return of the Lost Chapter 82: Preparation
Since that day, everyone in the elite class had been training for the midterms examination. They all knew that once they failed the midterms, they would be replaced by the top scorer from the general class so they needed to keep their positions as elites. “Dio, can you assist me again this time?” Mika asked as she prepared the cloak that she would use for the enchantment trial. “Are you serious?” Dio asked as he chuckled. Though he didn’t want to be subjected to another experiment, he wanted Mika to have a great contribution to the exam. “Yes. You don’t have to train like the others, right? You already know how to deal with those bunnies,” Mika said with confidence. Dio laughed. How could she be so confident that he would be able to hunt those monsters without worries? “Don’t just laugh at me, dear brother. Are you in?” Mika said as she pulled out her enchanter pen. Dio shrugged and followed her to the backyard. Since he got nothing be

“Is the place for hunting that far?” Amery asked Dio who kept his eyes closed during the travel.He snuggled closer to Keila and tried to act as if he were asleep so that others wouldn’t disturb him but Amery was persistent.“Dio?” Amery called out to him again.“Lady Amery, let’s just let him sleep for a while,” Cassandra suggested but Amery pouted.“Mika, your brother is flirting with Keila. Can you stop him?” Amery turned to Mika who had her head leaning on the window.Mika smiled drowsily as she closed her eyes. “I’m sorry, my lady. I don’t think I can.”Amery then turned to Kael who sat between Keila and Raymond. “Kael, don’t tell me your siblings get nauseous during carriage rides?”“No, my lady. It’s more like they spent the night making the cloaks so they needed the rest.” Kael looked at Dio who seemed to be

“Dio!” Amery shouted.Dio moved his hand to cut the bunny that was about to attack him with its claws. Amery let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Dio was fine.“Don’t space out,” Primo told him with a serious tone.“I’m not spacing out. It’s just that these bunnies seemed more like a mob of lower-level monsters than high-level ones.“What do you mean?” Primo asked in surprise. The monsters they were fighting were already strong enough to keep everyone busy yet Dio was saying that they seem like lower-level? Just how strong were the high-level monsters could be?Dio suddenly ran towards the casters and cut through a few bunnies that were about to attack Keila. After killing the monsters with his dagger, he turned towards Keila.“Are you all right?” His eyes were full of worry just like his voice. He crouched and held her shoulders to check if she was truly fine befo
