Penelope Zircon stood alone in the hallway. Not far from her was the entrance to the banquet hall, where perhaps her friends had been waiting for her.
But she really felt like she couldn't get in there… in the midst of people who had just returned from the war.
Penelope was ashamed. She had told herself many times that the war wasn't her fault. But the war began with a declaration that occurred at the party she attended that day.
She felt guilty because, at that time Ezra was protecting her from Celine's humiliation, and everything ended in chaos. One could say, this was what indirectly triggered everything.
If she didn't anger Celine, there might be a solution about Sorcery that was better than war—
"Miss Zircon."
Penelope flinched. She looked to her back and saw Heath standing with a beautiful petite woman by his side. There was also a man with
"Come sit with us."Ezekiel flinched at the words of someone who suddenly appeared next to him. Heinrich, the Crown Prince of Hyacinth, looked at him while making a gesture, pointing at Liam and Heath's table with his chin.However, Ezekiel just stared at Heinrich with a straight face and walked away."Hey!" Heinrich felt a little annoyed that he had just been ignored. He walked after Ezekiel on the party floor, making Ezekiel feel uncomfortable."Why? What is the problem?" asked Heinrich dryly.“You think they will accept me sitting with them after… what happened…?” asked Ezekiel flatly, still walking hastily away. "Sorcery made me insult Madam Goldlane, and they must have known about it."“Why not give it a try? They are good people. Did you forget I once ordered my brother to invade this Continent and everything? They did al
At that time, Ezra replied casually. “Oh, this? It's kind of a side effect I get after dying and coming back to life. Because I went through Holy Awakening over and over again and obtained Holy Energy from that bastard god, he also gave me a penalty if I used his Holy Power to heal people.”“What penalty do you mean, Your Highness?” Heinrich asked.“My body will automatically take over the pain of the person I heal with Holy Power, and if I heal many people's wounds and illnesses at once, then my body will accumulate pain for days. Until now, my body still hurts because I healed too many people in the war,” explained Ezra honestly.Heinrich and Zaha's eyes went wide.“Especially if I heal the side effects of Sorcery. My body would feel like it was being burned and boiled alive in a giant furnace,” Ezra muttered with a helpless small laugh. She then expl
The Emperor felt his body ache. Indeed, his wounds had not all healed and his old body was not able to heal as quickly as before. He decided to announce what he had to announce for today and went to rest.DING DING DING!The Emperor used a cake fork to gently hit his drinking glass and caught the attention of everyone in the vast banquet hall. Everyone stopped their chatter and turned to the Emperor who was sitting at the front of the hall, and everyone watched the man stand up.“I would like to take this opportunity to announce something to all of you.”Some people started whispering, but most were still waiting for the Emperor's words.That was when he turned to Heath. The young man stood up and turned to Miriam who still didn't know what was going on.Miriam saw Heath extend his hand to her from where he was standing. Miriam could only walk tow
“This time, keep your promise and return my husband. Otherwise… I will kill you with my own hands!”Hearing Caitlyn's hateful words, Cecilia's beautiful face contorted and turned into such an ugly expression. “Shut up and take me to where my brother is while I'm still being nice, Caitlyn Emerald.”Cecilia saw Caitlyn click her tongue in anger and lead her toward the dungeon. They were stopped by two guards who asked Caitlyn to show proof of her identity and Cecilia's identity.Caitlyn had prepared a fake identification proof for Cecilia, and she showed it to the guard. Caitlyn was clearly welcomed, but the two guards asked Cecilia to take off her hood.Caitlyn's heart was pounding. She felt so nervous.But when Cecilia took off her robes, her hair had turned brown, and her face became full of freckles. This was a disguise she made.
“Go! I'll stay here and try to slow them—""No! It's dangerous in here!” Zaha was so adamant when suddenly, they saw a man limping out of the cell at the end of the hallway through the bars of the cell that had melted completely.Zaha's feeling was telling him to run. And seeing Caitlyn's body getting bigger and bigger, filling the passageway to the point of crushing the ceiling, Zaha used his strength to force Arai to run away.Arai finally complied, and her face was filled with horror as the woman she knew as her good-hearted superior turned completely into a wyvern with no sense.GRRRRRROAAAAAARRR!!!"Commander!" cried Arai desperately, looking behind her where the giant Wyvern was chasing them."Run!" Zaha shouted, pulling Arai's hand as hard as he could down the hallway and up the stairs. They were almost got caught by the Wyvern at the
Ezekiel didn't know since when he had arrived in this sitting room. He remembered that he had heard voices that bothered him so much, and he asked Ezra to… hit him?That's when he started trying to look around, and look for the woman's figure. Why couldn't he find her?CRASH!Ezekiel was surprised to hear a loud noise from another room—the toilet connected to the sitting room."Ezra?!"Ezekiel opened the door without thinking and saw Ezra leaning her body against a marble table. Her chemise was visibly wet from the water spilt from the water basin, and her face looked very pale.Ezekiel didn't delay anymore, he immediately put his arm around the woman's waist to help her stand up straight. "What happened? Why did you…”The man noticed Ezra's body was shaking violently, and her pale face turned to him with a weak
Sure enough, when they arrived at the site of the explosion, Ezra immediately saw several people who really needed her help. They were those close to the point of explosions, such as Arai and the underground prison guards. Ezra immediately asked them all to be taken away to a safe place where she could take care of them, while Ezekiel summoned his sword and looked for his father who also appeared there not long after. A giant Alpha Wyvern went rampaging, and two giant wolves surrounded it. Ezekiel was aware that the giant Wyvern was about to take off and flee when he saw Heinrich's figure in the crowd, preparing a spell. “Heinrich Hyacinth! Your ravens!” Ezekiel exclaimed, quickly coating his body with <Aura Armour>. He immediately knew that this was Celine Diamond's attempt to save her brother, but how could that woman enter the palace?! Was it with Sorcery again? He didn't think a Sai
This time, things were different from what happened on the battlefield. The Wyverns that Ethan and Cecilia had were the largest, fastest and strongest Alpha Wyverns they had ever created. Moreover, Ethan was no longer alone.There was Cecilia who would watch his back and create a protective shield—as well as heal him if he got hurt.Plus, maybe the others wouldn't know, but Ethan and Cecilia knew that Ezekiel wasn't at his best. It looked like the man was being affected by Sorcery's side effects.Ethan was very confident he could break through Ezekiel's current attack.But Ezekiel didn't care about the state of his body, and just like during a war, he used his full strength to launch a deadly attack on the giant Wyvern that came his way.Seeing Ezekiel's intentions, Liam intended to give him support from behind. He jumped high into the sky and tried to pounce at the Wyvern'
