A damp wind blows. The autumn sun was shining faintly covered by thin clouds in the sky. Ezra was sitting smoking in the front row of the church pews, looking at the statue of Andrius that stood in the middle.
Her black soulless eyes looked dim and cold. Her memories revolved around memories of a distant past, but they could not be forgotten.
FUUUUUU…
She exhaled the smoke slowly.
“This time… everything is different, huh?” Ezra muttered quietly. “Everything was because of the women named Cecilia Morganite and Harriet Goldlane…”
Ezra took another puff of her cigarette.
“And suddenly that woman appeared after 15 years of disappearance, right after Cecilia Morganite's death. Heh," Ezra snorted in disgust.
The woman stood up, walked over to the statue of God and pressed the butt of her still-
Gasp!Wow…They look so good together…!The guests gasped at the appearance of the party host, Ezra Beryl and her fiancé, the Crown Prince, appearing hand in hand.Both wore matching clothes, with azure accents that were so soft it was almost like the dawn itself. The two's eyes were both black and their hair colour looked similar, making them look more like siblings than fiancés.No.People said when two people were a match made in heaven, they would have a similar appearance. That's what Ezekiel and Ezra looked like now.As the two of them spoke their opening words and invited the audience to start enjoying the party, suddenly a servant announced the arrival of important guests.The pair of guests that everyone had been waiting for, the stars of the month's last and most shocking news&hel
"I never thought you are more of a bitch than I am."Ezra's blank stare involuntarily made the hairs on Cecilia's neck stand up. She was indeed the Villainess that angered the thousands who read [The Crown's Diamond] novel.With her rude behaviour that often recklessly dismissed the rules, her thug attitude that she only showed when she threatened people she found annoying, and a venomous mouth that could hurt someone's heart from thousands of miles away.Ezra Beryl, the fake Saintess.“Even though I am a bastard's daughter, I still know that something like this is not right. Miss Diamond, why are you being so unreasonable?” asked Ezra coldly.“Miss Zircon was indeed your best friend when you were both young. If something happened while you were missing that made you forget that fact, you still have no right to do this to an honourable woman like Miss Zircon."
Ezra's series of curses made everyone shut their mouths. The Empress-to-be had just cursed, but to be honest, what was even more shocking was what Celine Diamond said previously.How could Celine, the daughter of a Duke express her opinion that Sorcery was art created by gods meant for an unknown heavenly reason? It was absolutely outrageous. People could even assume it as Celine Diamond was publicly trying to defend Sorcery."Celine Diamond."Ezra, who was still pointing her finger at Celine, had lost control of her emotions.“How in the hell could you ask such a stupid thing? Do you even know what Sorcery can do to mortal beings?”Ezra lifted her face and looked down at Celine, taking a deep breath.“It was a kind of forbidden art that would corrupt and eat away at your soul, destroying any reason and common sense you had. Sorcery would ta
SLAP!With one harsh move, Ethan dragged Ezra back and slapped her hard on the face. The guests gasped, and their faces turned pale. The future Empress had just received a hard slap in front of everyone.“What did you just say? How dare you accuse my sister of being a Sorc–”FLASH!A blue aura exploded—creating a tornado that glowed like one frozen blue dawn. When Ethan came to his senses, he was already drowned in that aura, shocked to see Ezekiel had strangled him by the neck and lifted him into the air.Ethan gripped Ezekiel's arm that was choking him like a rampaging monster. He gritted his teeth in anger and fear.“Let go of me, Ezekiel Euclase!”Ethan could feel how hot the blue <Aura> fire was, exploding from Ezekiel's body. It had been a long time since people had seen the prowess of the E
[The Crown's Diamonds]This popular novel, which became a best seller in the world Cecilia was from, was the setting of the world where Celine Diamond lives.As Cecilia mentioned, in this novel, Celine was the main character who was overpowered. She was the daughter of the Duke, and she was a genius.She captivated readers with her methods that instantly solve problems and fight crimes with her money and power. She punished those who dare to stand in the way of her justice mercilessly.As the cold and badass main character, Celine was also loved by everyone, because since childhood, she had always been the best in the Euclase Empire.She would even be crowned the next Duchess because her brother who loved her relented and handed her the title of the clan leader.It was said that she had a cold demeanour on the outside and was warm on the inside. Only in front
Fake Saintess.No one had heard these words since time immemorial, because these words were a new phenomenon.Ezra did have talent, but not talent as a Saintess. In the Beryl family, all girls who possessed great <Aura> talent would not be directed and trained to become an <Aura Master>. Rather, they would be directed to become a Saintess.But how?Faith. An abstract concept. But this was the most important thing in the awakening of a Saintess.There were two ways humans could receive divine approval. That was either by being chosen directly by the god himself, which was a very rare occurrence or to worship the god and proving unwavering faith.First of all, one had to make sacrifices.Ezra also sacrificed to become a Saintess. And the sacrifice was so great–that her 'faith' in God would no longer be shaken. It could be
Cecilia sat inside a closed room. Her hands were shaking, and no matter what she did, she couldn't calm down. Was everything over? Would everyone now really try to kill her just because she supported a Sorcerer and defended the Sorcery?Don't be ridiculous!Why was this world so peaceful and bound by strict rules anyway?! Why was it that in other fantasy novels that she read, many people used black magic but were instead respected and feared?!Was everyone in this world so hypocritical that they didn't want to open up to Sorcery just because of the negative effect Sorcery had on mortal beings?Sorcery could be a very effective weapon against enemies! Sorcery users could rule the world–Cecilia understood now. This was all because the people in this world were not like her. They had no ambition at all! Cecilia was sure, that if more people mastered the Sorcery, then surely t
Seeing things getting out of control, Cecilia tried to take a chance and explain. But just as she was about to start speaking, Ezra cut her off. "I can feel Holy Power from you," said Ezra coldly. “Are you trying to reason that as a Saintess, you wouldn't be able to use Sorcery? Is that your excuse?” Ezra's words shocked everyone, even Cecilia herself. “If you are indeed a Saintess, then the fact that you are defending the Sorcery will only make things worse. I beg for more severe punishment. A Saintess who defends Sorcery should be punished with the same punishment as a cannibal,” Ezra didn't stutter in the slightest. "What do you know about Saintess, Miss Beryl?" Cecilia asked angrily. “You ask what I know about Saintess?” Ezra didn't change her cold expression. “I don't know much about Saintess, except that we have faith that Gods do exist.” Ce
