The way he delivers those things almost gave me chills if it weren't for his laughter straight after. I was unable to speak, but my eyes were already wide open. I was momentarily perplexed before closing my eyes and concluding that everything he said was a joke.
I make up a chuckle while imitating him and say a few things to make his laughter audible.
I almost rolled my eyes when I responded, "Well, you could have told me if it's a joke so I could also laugh, Auster," but it baffled me when I tried to hear him laugh louder than before.
He continues softly, "But I wasn't joking when I said those words, Solstice," and when I look into his eyes, he seems to be telling the truth. Nonetheless, he couldn't stop laughing, which caused me to furrow my brows.
“Do you? Because, Auster, you don't look like it," I reply, shaking my head and finally groaning.
There are times when this individual is just something I can't understand.
"Now, shall we
As soon as Auster utters those words, he releases my hand and starts conversing with the adult nobility while I continue to sit at the table. He told me that even if I'm in danger, he can still find me as long as I call out his name.I sigh for a bit before eventually squinting to look at the nobility who are beginning to bid with the unfortunate slaves displayed in front of them.I finally got up from where I was sitting and went to the balcony for some fresh air since I couldn't bear to see such a sight. When I do inhale it, I can feel the cold breeze reviving every part of my body.I'm not at all cold, so was the necklace to think of? Alternatively, if Auster had ever cast magic on me, was it because of that? Nonetheless, I couldn't help but wonder why these two brothers have distinct ancestries after that. I'm just not able to think about that right now.I shake my head in an attempt to clear my mind, but as I do, a bloody vision appears as if everyth
I can't see what he's talking about, but as soon as he pointed at my skin, I assumed it had something to do with the necklace, which was incorrect. Instead of pointing at the necklace, he is pointing at my abdomen. I briefly believed that Auster had ripped off my garment, and the sound did really echo across the space.It's obvious that Casimir wasn't joking when he wanted to draw attention to something because of the sound of something being stolen and the lack of noise in the area.I noticed how Casimir licked his lips and looked back into my eyes as if he wanted something from me just because I was now completely naked and without underwear. My eyes continue to grow wider as I eventually see the fire starting to ignite within them.Nonetheless, his palm continues to rest on top of my stomach, which is enough for me to realize that he is holding something, and when I try to look at it, my eyes enlarge.I no longer experience the coldness when he touches
Indeed, the night is long. My hands don't tremble when I stare at them, but I feel abandoned in this space as if I were a used rag that has already been thrown away.I can't stop crying because it feels like my entire body has been torn apart by the earlier fire touches that have now vanished like icy shivers.It gives me the impression that I want to feel regret, but I also feel like I can't. When I entered this event,I didn't want to go through it, but I also can't say I don't want it.Even if I desired it before, I can't seem to remember what I wanted to do for the evening now that all that's left of me are some clothes that are on the ground, hickeys all over my body, and a coat that Casimir urges me to take inside. So, I didn't even try to take it.I'm resting on the bed with my eyes tightly shut, and it remains there.I take a few slow, deep breaths and turn to face the window next to me. It does have moonlight beams, but I have no id
“Milady! This morning was so nice. Here's some tea,” as Kaylla served me tea, I overheard her say such a pleasant tone.I give her a smile in return and sip from it. I close my eyes to experience the relaxing tone and energizing aroma of the black tea she gave me, and it does match my current mood.I can't help but grin as I take in the sun's gentle rays. As I finally make the transition from my room to my balcony, I can feel the warmth it imparts to my skin.Even while I currently feel at peace, I am aware that it is simply a temporary state that will pass as I make the most of this opportunity before something from the unknown explodes and becomes known.As soon as I set my tea down on my table, I avert my eyes to the sun's gentle rays. Even while they are stirring up memories of my happy times growing up and scenarios from those times, "Milady, do you want me to refill your tea once more?" it wasn't enough to wash away the suffering, betray
By the time he said that name, I couldn't help but close my mouth and narrow my eyes. I wanted to speak to him and ask him a question, but as I caught a glimpse of his smirk, I briefly remembered what I had been forgetting to consider.It turns out that the being in front of me is not a human. He's a wizard. But it is absurd because, as Xander already informed me, "Are you—-?" they always leave magic traces behind.He chuckles briefly before saying, "I guess you only found it out now, too, Solstice," and I can hear him saying it in my head.He replies, this time without smirking, "Being a pureblood mage may make me indestructible, just that because I can control myself from the things I want to obtain.”Instead, he is already staring into my soul, waiting for a reaction, and I can do nothing more than nod and pretend to cough to escape his penetrating eyes.It did work, but he says something that I shouldn't have heard because as soon a
I can even say that Auster is never joking when he uses those words at the end of the day. He respectfully reacts to my dilemma in response to another question I had asked him and eventually hands me something I can't throw away.Not when the adverse effects of this necklace and remembering my history are the solution for my lust.“Wow, what a delightful sight to witness,” the moonlight beams make the night very luminous. I can't help but close my eyes as my hold on the medicine Auster gave me becomes firmer.Finally, I feel as like the weight of my current problems has been lifted from the thorns of past experiences.My eyes rested on the object I was holding when I opened them. It has a pink heart-shaped aperture in the center and is shaped like a circle. I can see the hue of the liquid, and there is a thin thread encircling it that is covered with shimmering golden glitters.Yes, it is pink.I'm beginning to have my doubts abo
I couldn't help but roll my eyes back as soon as I read the scribbled message on the top of the table. The only difference between the statements and what actually occurred in the past is that no one knows why the ship was taken hostage or even vanished.From the perspective of a merchant, there have been many rumors in the past regarding the Greyton ship, but no one has ever shown any solid proof. As a result, the speculations have faded until no information regarding the ship's whereabouts has been made public.The Greyton ship simply disappeared, as if it had never existed in the first place, like a mist that had dissipated. From that moment on, strangely enough, nobody even mentioned it missing.All I need to do now is exercise awareness. After picking up the note, I glance at the reverse to see if there are any further words there, only to discover that there are, but they are so minuscule that even the unaided eye cannot read them.I furrow my brows
I couldn't help but put both of my hands to my mouth as soon as I heard those words, almost falling to the ground and making noise if it weren't for the wall supporting my back.I continued going to Zeiron and Xander because it felt like I was in a maze at the time, but I had no idea what their goals were beyond the fleeting notion that they would take the Greyton ship.However, why is that?I don't know yet, therefore I'm looking for it because that would be the best course of action, exactly as Casimir and Auster had intended.I'm frustrated right now because I feel like a lost woman who doesn't know what to do now that I'm in this situation. Like I’m in this start my plans first.But because of that, I want to learn more because I'm intrigued and because I can't let this one go, because I've already started planning in this way.“Yet, it's been reported that someone is also copying him there. Don't you believe this is just a r
