Even Clayton would have anxiety inside him if he knew a mage was after him yet Seraphine remained calm— that too the mage after her was a powerful one.
It wasn't that Seraphine was calm. She was really afraid of Winter in the beginning, enough to have a mental breakdown, and probably because of the knowing the novel as well, she eventually adjusted.
That's why, she was able to maintain her composure.
"That's because I have a sense of security due to the person who rescued me," Seraphine answered.
"Who saved you?" Clayton questioned. If the other party was able to face off a mage, he ought to be strong.
"Too bad, I can't disclose his identity, but don't worry, he promised to protect me although he is forced to do it. Nonetheless, he is extremely reliable and stron

Kayden understood that Seraphine had misunderstood the situation and explained, "It's not that, you know; it's simply that I want to protect you better."Seraphine cleared her throat as Kayden's words caused her cheeks to heat up as she mumbled, "You sure do know how flirt.""Hmm?" Kayden questioned."No, it's nothing," Seraphine answered, "Anyway, aren't you curious where I am abducting you to?"Seeing Seraphine's bright eyes, Kayden folded his arms over his chest and put on an act himself. Going along with Seraphine for a while, he pretended to think for a while."Where could little Seraphine be kidnapping me off to? Is it an abandoned mansion or some warehouse? Or could it be some forest?"This amused Seraphine, and she began to start laughing. This was because this side of his was a huge contrast from his usual self, and Seraphine kind of liked how she wa

"You are smart, aren't you?"Seraphine glared at Kayden prior to continuing, "Seraphine then of course chased after that good-for-nothing Eli Weiton, and he was as arrogant as he is now.He disregarded Seraphine's feelings and treated her like trash. Even so, she didn't give up and persistently hung up on him. It was pathetic! If I was in her place, I would have beaten him up over how disrespectful he was.And when Seraphine got together with someone else, he had the audacity to blame her for seducing him and then abandoning him. He was literally the one who disrespected her.And that Seraphine, who didn't have any amount of self-respect, simply cried and begged him for forgiveness instead of reporting him for assault. Talk about being lame!Just telling this story is enough to make me lose my mind. What kind of crap is this!? This Seraphine is seriously frustrating! As for

Kayden did not change his attitude towards Seraphine despite all that he had heard, and Seraphine appreciated this part about him.Just like she had said to him, he considered this to be a story and took everything with a grain of salt. Other than the important details, Seraphine did not think he would bother to keep the rest in his mind.Seraphine yawned as she stretched her arms and went outside of the carriage. Everyone was resting currently at an Inn at Hedia, and later on, they could head towards the academy.The thought of being able to surprise Sharon and Eugene caused Seraphine to feel enthusiastic.As Seraphine went downstairs with Kayden to have breakfast, she questioned, "By the way, do you know any good places for meals around here?"Kayden nodded and answered, "I asked earlier, and there is a restaurant nearby.""As expected from you, Kayden, you

This response did not shock Seraphine since she was well aware on how slow Eugene was at sending letters.Unlike Sharon and her who shared letters frequently, she would receive letters from Eugene one after three to four months although she sent him at least two letters a month.And even those rarely sent letters had any content in them; only important details were mentioned. They were all concise and straight to the point, making Seraphine feel as if she was reading a report for a subject rather than a letter.That's why, such an answer might be considered to be a lame excuse when it came from someone else, but when it came to Eugene, she knew it was the truth.Seraphine was sure he wrote half of the letter and then forgot about the rest. Only after she pestered him enough would he be willing to finish the rest.Seraphine let out a deep breath."I can'

The entire time passed by with Seraphine and Scarlett trying to come up with multiple strategies. The more Seraphine heard Scarlett speak, more talented and confident she sounded.She didn't show any more nervousness towards Seraphine and openly brought forward her ideas. Seraphine appreciated that about her and happily listened to all that Scarlett had to say.As they were discussing this, time passed by easily for Seraphine without her having to notice anything. Seeing how it was already evening, Seraphine knew it was time for both of them to head home already.When they were about to part, Seraphine turned to face Scarlett and winked at her while expressing, "You know, Lady Scarlett, you can feel free to tell me if you want to stay over at my place any time. You see, I do enjoy bringing my friends home."Scarlett clearly understood what Seraphine was trying to imply through those words of hers, an

Today was the day Eugene returned from Hedia, and Seraphine was quite excited to meet him. The entire day she moved around the mansion, handling various affairs for her brother's return.Seraphine had his room prepared, and after learning from Sharon the names, Seraphine had all of his favorite food made.Then, she recalled his recent obsession with flowers, and as she had given him her word, she had them ordered once she heard from him his favourite flowers.Lyle didn't care much about the garden as long as it looked pretty. As for Clayton, he couldn't care less about flowers; he didn't think they suited his image regardless of how pretty they were.Seraphine, on the other hand, did find the flowers pretty and was fond of watching them. But that's just what it was. She didn't care about tending the flowers or having a variety of them.Seeing the large and beautiful garden in fro

Kayden noticed the intense reaction Seraphine displayed, and a frown appeared. Immediately, he moved closer to Seraphine and clutched on to her arms in order to calm herself down.However, Seraphine did not react to his touches. He started to then pat on her back and began to whisper how it would be alright.Kayden didn't understand whether or not was it his misconception, but it seemed that Seraphine had shown the reaction towards the beast's name.After a while, Seraphine managed to compose herself, and her rapid heartbeats began to slow down. Kayden used his handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from her forehead prior to questioning, "Are you alright?"Seraphine moved away from Kayden and nodded her head."I am sorry; I don't know what came over me. It's just that I heard the name of the bird, and I reacted this intensely," Seraphine explained."Name of the

"By the way, Lady Scarlett, you should take a break. You look seriously bad. I don't want to have the reputation of working my employees to death." Seraphine wasn't joking when she mentioned it. Scarlett had dark circles under her eyes, and her features were pale. It did seem as if she had lost a huge amount of weight during this period of time. This made Seraphine wonder whether or not she had put a huge burden on Scarlett's shoulder. As much as Seraphine wanted to lend her a hand, she was ashamed to mention that there was barely anything she was able to do. One thing that is prominent about Scarlett was that she was a perfectionist. Because of this nature of Scarlett, she worked more than the ordinary people. On top of that, since the shop was already become this popular within a short period of time did indicate the amount of effort she put in. Scarlett was indeed a

Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y

“Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w

Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda

Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h

Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso

“Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for

Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward.

It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
