The cursed child
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Audrey and Sabel ate that night to their heart's content, and it was only when they already felt bloated did they stop and finally decided to give their eating spree a break.
When they walked past a lake, Audrey decided to stop by. She walked towards a big rock at the lakeside and rested there for a while.
The little girl could not help but feel awed by the blissful night in general. But when she lifted her head and saw the scattered stars above them, she felt more overwhelmed; to the point that she even let out a contented sigh without her knowledge.
The night sky was covered with tiny little dots as though someone accidentally spilled diamonds all over it
"This place was so relaxing"
Sabel commented as she settled herself at the bed of grass next to her young miss. She looked at Audrey then back to the little black cat who was busy fiddling on the lake water.
"What a wonderful night. The cold breeze and starry night. Even the moon wa

When Audrey heard the word 'magic', she was reminded of the conversation that she had with her grandfather earlier that day. So she asked her maidservant about its opinion."Sabel, what do you think about learning magic?""It was common knowledge that learning the way of magic is a great privilege. They were highly celebrated wherever they went because not just anyone can do it. Not everyone is blessed with mana. Besides, one cannot simply enter the school of magic just because they wanted it. Money alone is not enough, you need to both have the natural talent on it as well as the backing. Having a magic practitioner or two within one's kingdom is a sure-ball way to secure the nation's defense and stability."Sabel answered with sparkling eyes as if she was talking about her lover. She had never seen one in her lifetime, but she had read countless books pertaining to their tales.[ It seems that it is for that same reason wh

Soon Audrey would be seen walking with her cat beside her, and Sabel naturally followed behind them. When the three arrived at the doorstep of the main hall, Sabel halted her steps."What's wrong?"Audrey inquired.When she noticed that the other party abruptly stopped from her tracks, she also stopped from advancing forward and turned to Sabel with a confused look in her eyes. Sabel on the other hand was just as confused as Audrey was. She wondered why was her young miss was acting as though she did not have an idea about the unspoken rule in their household. It was common knowledge among servants working within the Lee Clan that they were not allowed to step at the main hall during a meeting, neither come near it without official business."Young miss, no servants are allowed inside so this is the farthest that I could accompany you."Sabel replied and gave Audrey an answer. Despite her initial confusion, Sabel still managed to give Audrey a quic

Meanwhile, when Nero notice that the other party was seething with rage and was trying had to contain it, he also found himself wondering. [ I wonder if she could really survive this world? This lass had to get used to this new lifestyle if she wants to survive.] 'Ehem!' When the old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat, the place turned completely silent. It was so silent to the point that if one happened to drop a needle, everyone would probably hear it. The old man scanned the crowd with his keen eyes and when his eyes landed at the direction where his two doted granddaughters were standing, the sternness on his face cracked and he soon broke into a wide smile. Obviously, this old man was no other than, Johnson, the head of the clan. It was only when Johnson was certain that all of his clan members were gathered around at the main hall did he rose to his feet and i

Time flies so quickly that the three-days timeframe passed by without Audrey even noticing. But if the truth would be told, she was the only one that was not exactly bothered or in any bit concern at all about the upcoming event, the rest, however, was at their wit's end. The past three days have been very hectic for the whole Ning clan in general, but the other clans were no different. They all wanted to outdo each other; aiming to be the best of the best.Due to the compelling rewardoffered by the clan head,manyof his clan members tookthe task of finding the best gift seriously. They presented all the most precious and valuable treasures that they hadat their disposal, wishing that itwouldcatch the eyes of their clan head."I really hope that clan head can consider taking this gift that I prepared",said one of the clan disciples as they gathered around the main hall."You wish!"Another one replied with a

Johnson brought two people with him to assist him in choosing the best gift. The first elder was standing next to him, while on his right stands a handsome young man. His domineering aura radiated even in his simple gesture as he was casually sweeping tiny glances on the treasures lying in neat line before them; this handsome young man was no other than, Arden Lee; Audrey's older brother as well as the youngest general of the said kingdom. The king appointed him as the general of the royal guard due to his merits."It's good that you decided to visit our clan this time," Johnson said to his grandson."Un.." Arden nodded. "I also want to visit Audrey. I wonder how she's doing nowadays."The duo chatted as they were observing each of the treasures. They carefully pick the best items among the treasures presented as they discussed their properties."This is the MILK TEA leaves. It was some kind of special eurphobia.

The much-awaited 18th name day of the youngest prince came shortly. Exactly after three days ever since the emperor started sending invitations to every clan, they started riding their way to the palace. On the Lee Clan residence, a certain little girl was secretly eyeing the carriages lining their courtyard." I wonder how crazy these people could be??! Who in their right mind would think of using gemstones as an ornament?!!!"Audrey asked out loud with her eyes wide in disbelief as she stared fixated at one of the blue gemstones deeply engraved into one of the carriages."Haaaayyy... If I could just take home even just one sapphire as big as this one, it would be enough to give me a life of fortune" she sighed as she touched the sapphire attached to the carriage's door longingly.[Quit that looked you, silly girl, you looked like you were about to kiss that stone. ]"Hmph!

It was a safe and smooth journey. The flying beasts can be seen flying like a flock of birds. Although it looks like an oversize group of birds from afar. After almost three hours of riding, the hippogriff started to descend and then not too long they reached the ground smoothly. "Woah! it's a long ride. My butt has been all sore from the ride. I can't wait to get out of this carriage. "Don't worry young miss, we're almost there." Sabel assured her. She waited for a couple of minutes but the carriage has no sign of stopping. "I thought we're almost there?! It's been a while already since we reach the ground why are we still travelling?" Audrey was having a headache. Honestly speaking she preferred the ride when they were still flying. At least up there all she have to worry was her butt getting sore from sitting too long. But when t

It was a cozy afternoon and the sun has a tinge of orange already. A clear indication that the day was about to end, soon to approach dusk.Niccoli was sitting leisurely under the shade of a peach tree. He was busy nibbling the grass blade that he had on his mouth."Meeeoooww..."The cat drawled and this managed to cut through Niccoli's line of thought so he was pulledout from his trance. As soon as the guy was back to his senses he patted the long-haired cat on its head before caressing its fur. Right after that, he looked back to the clear sky above them."Not yet Monami, give me more time," he said with a carefree smile on his beautiful face."Meow?????" the little cat seems confused for her master's reaction as she tilted her head and urge her master to scratch her more.Niccoli looked at her attention-seeking spiritual beast.

[Distract them for me.]“Was it not only right for Steffi to get to use to eye whenever she feels like it?? I mean, she is older than the two of you so naturally, she was supposed to have more authority above both of you, no?.”“Ehhh… She’ll be fine. I’m the youngest so they should let me wear it more.” (Meredith)“The kid is right. The eldest should have the eyeball. She is a genius” (Steffi)Steve, on the other hand, seemed to get what Audrey was trying to do, so he said something that would surely add fuel to the fire.“But what about the middle child?

“Now, where are we? Right, cooking.”Steffi changed the topic on purpose, before turning to her sisters.“I need the eye to check if it's ready, who has it?”“It’s around here, somewhere,”Meredith replied as she started to rummage through a pile of disorganized drawers. She felt obliged to respond since she was the last one to use the Magus Eye. Unfortunately, she forgot where she left it.“The last time I saw it, you put it in the utensils compartment, Meredith” Steffi insinuated using a lazy tone so the other party rebutted,“Don’t use that tone with my name.”Ariel on the other hand joined in this time to inform them that the eye was nowhere to be seen.“It’s not there this time.”After a while of contemplation, Meredith’s face lit up as she recalled something.“Aha! Steffi always put it in the dish cabinet:”And just like that, she found where her sister was hiding it.Consequently, the group found it interesting to watch how the three sisters could be talkative without having t

“I agree with Ariel. Why don’t we invite them over? This way, we could continue our chat there whilst they take their much-needed rest.” This time, it was Meredith who spoke and she deliberately told her sisters this. Nonetheless, she has spoken the words loud enough to be heard by others. The students, on the other hand, were beyond ecstatic when they overhear the ongoing conversation. But decided that it would be best not to allow their emotion to show on their faces. At this point, Meredith turned to the group and greeted them with a bow. “Let me apologize on my sister’s behalf. The thing is, it has been a while since we had visitors. As such, we are no longer accustomed to receiving guests.” She insinuated before she slowly approached the bunch of bewildered youngsters; careful not to bump her toe as she felt her way through the darkness. Her blindness was made obvious by her action and it made her appear pitiful to any onlooker. Truth be told, the Grae’s current act of displ

“Seriously, when will they stop obsessing over Cercei?”Tsking in annoyance, Steffi stealthily moved her slender fingers next to the Magnus Eye with the full intention of taking it back from her younger sister’s possession.“These people were getting on my nerves!”She purposely added this to appeal to her sisters’ sentiment so that their minds could focus somewhere else and they would not notice it once she started hogging the magic eye all for herself again. Meanwhile, her plan worked, as it always did. Ariel readily agreed to her and with a voice full of despondency, she said,“That’s how the mage community works. They fear what they could not understand and so they are set on destroying anything that they cannot control.”Ariel finished with an exasperated sigh. Meredith, on the other hand, could not help but clenched her fist as she was reminded of their good friend’s plight. Then with her brows knitted together, she roared,“The gal did not deserve all this hatred.”Meanwhile, t

On the flip side, rewinding the clock a tad, just a few minutes before Audrey’s group discovered that they unknowingly fall under a spell, the Graes were already watching them. “The eye! Who has the eye?” Meredith, the youngest, shouted at the top of her lungs. Steffi, on the other hand, stepped away from the giant cauldron before answering. “Over here. I had it with me.” She purposely put a safe distance between her and her two sisters before taking the eye out from her pocket. Afterward, she put the eyeball inside her empty socket. Meanwhile, Ariel, the middle child among the three sisters complained, “You again? You are always snagging our eyes by yourself.” “I know right? Give us a chance as well.” Meredith seconded. But Steffi only rolled her removable eye and mumbled, “Oh, shut up! Stop whining, it's because I have more use of this than the two of you combined.” Ariel no longer argued. But Meredith was different. “Give me that, it is my turn today.” She insinuated and

“But this was done in consideration of what was the lesser evil. News about how the petrifying monster has been terrorizing the Black Forest had already reached the ears of the masses and as a result, was causing mayhem among the people; both non-magic and magic practitioners alike. If it was not for that, the mage community would not make a move.” “Terrorizing, you say.” The Grae mockingly repeated Niccoli’s word that struck her noggin the most. Then with a contemptuous scoff, she added, “What an interesting choice of words considering that it was you, students, who made the first move against her. If you were to ask me, I think it is more accurate to say that it was the other way around. You all are the ones doing the terrorizing. You brought the melee with you and now that she retaliated, you turned her into a villain?” Everyone fell silent afterward but it was not because they were trying to come up with better arguments to refute the other party’s words. Rather, it was due to
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Trouble heading your way
Audrey was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way. Meanwhile, the results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to. Niccoli dragged Audrey into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Niccoli immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment. Niccoli was also excited to see the name ‘Andrew’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks. “Andrew! You are the first! You are the first!” Niccoli was extremely surprised and held onto Audrey’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as i

[Alright, I must admit it’s my fault this time. My bad.] “As you should!” Ultimately, Nero acknowledged the part he played in inciting the agitated hut to action. But he also did not forget to let Audrey know that he did not appreciate her tone. [Needless to say, raising your voice is completely unnecessary. Besides, getting mad at me won’t change anything, will it? You’re kind of embarrassing me, just you know.] The cat tried to reason out but with her and her friends’ lives at stake and almost put in danger, Audrey did not back away easily this time. “Oh yeah? Then swear to me that from now on, you will be mindful of your choice of words. We have to be careful with every word we are saying because it was not every time that we got a chance to take it back.” Meanwhile, Nero’s response came shortly. However, it was so brief. Moreover, it did not sound sincere either. [Okay. I promised] So Audrey prompted the cat to state the matter precisely because she did not want him to circ
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Passphrase
“What if the Graes already took notice of us as soon as we entered their perimeter and right now, we are under a spell; making our eyes play a trick on us? What if what we are seeing right now is not real?”“Well, if that is the case, then I guess there is only one way to check it.”Audrey insinuated and without wasting another breath, she said the passphrase."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Slowly, it dawned on the others as well what was possibly happening and so without waiting to be told what to do, they recited the same thing too."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."They whispered into the air one after another and almost immediately, the landscape changed into something else, right before their naked eyes.Everyone watched with an awestruck face as the trees turned into fences. At the same time, just a few feet away from where they were standing, they noticed how an empty lot from moments ago started to morph into what seemed to be an inconspicuou
