“This is Mr Gold," said Harriet, cutting off all of Laurel's flowery thoughts. And her next words made the flowers on Laurel's head immediately wither, "My husband."
Harriet opened her eyes a little wider than usual. This made her warm, shaded gaze disappear into a gaze that looked half sharp and half friendly. When Laurel saw Harriet, she unconsciously flinched back.
Why? Why did this lowly woman scare her?
It was like seeing… a ruler looking down on her.
No, no. The man behind her looked even more terrifying after Laurel watched him closely. Was it because she had insulted his wife earlier? Did this handsome man hear everything?
“Ahem,” Laurel cleared her throat softly to calm herself.
“Excuse me,” Laurel knew when it was time to back off. She had humiliated herself in public, and now that she had seen such a handsome ma
"Hmm, I've never been here before."Heinrich and Ezekiel heard Ezra's muttering, as the three were sitting in the horse carriage they rented to look for Ezra's missing grandfather.Ezekiel found it a bit strange to hear Ezra's words which actually still sounded normal, while Heinrich wondered if Ezra might say that because she had never been here in her previous seven lives.“But I didn't expect him to go this far from the Beryl residence in the West…” muttered Heinrich who closed his eyes again to see through his raven eyes.“My grandfather is still very strong, and he has great survival instincts. He used to be a capable soldier,” explained Ezra. She was very grateful that her grandfather was not at the Beryl residence during Ethan Diamond's attack.Ezekiel had sent his men to check on Beryl's residence afterwards. Some of the Beryl family had sur
Arai jumped down from her horse.She unloaded some toys and snacks for the children from the back pocket of her horse saddle and turned towards one of the humble houses in the Imperial Capital she visited.She walked over to the door, took a deep breath and knocked softly.When the door opened, Arai showed her best warm smile.“Sister Arai… welcome,” a teenage girl greeted her.The house looked deserted, and there were only the children, the teenage girl and an old maid looking after them.“Thank you for coming every day to visit us, Sister. But… we're really okay,” said the teenage girl.Mia Amethyst and her two siblings, Tammy and Robby Amethyst lost their parents at once.Yes. It had been three days since the funeral of their parents, Caitlyn Emerald and Paul Amethyst.&
The two basic levels of <Aura Awakening> also divided the Awakening itself into two types.The first type was <Aura Sensory> which allowed one to feel the faint flow of <Aura> of others and oneself. This awakening was common among physicians who learned <Aura> based medicinal techniques on the Varanus continent.Considering that everyone had a subtle <Aura> flow in their bodies, physicians used this to help heal their patients. It would be even easier if their patients were someone who had also experienced an awakening.Zaha had awakened his <Aura Sensory> when he was young because he was determined to heal others, not the determination to become stronger.Then, the second level, and the second awakening type was <Aura Manifestation>. This was the type of <Aura Awakening> that was most common among fighters.Unlike <Aura Sensory&
As he finished his examination, Zaha shouted at the clinic door."Yesha!" Zaha called to his assistant… but after waiting a few seconds, the three adults realized that the three teenagers who lived with them had not yet returned home."Oh dear, it's past lunchtime already..." Harriet muttered. She walked briskly out of the clinic and tried to look if the teens had returned or not. But as they thought, they had not come back yet."Where do they go…?" Zaha asked quietly.Little did the three adults know that when they left to finish the war, the three teens started befriending the other teenagers in this port city.And now, they were facing a problem.***“What do you mean steal?! Grandpa White is not someone who steals!” exclaimed Molly.“Then why did we find our shop's book in his bag?!
When Ezra suddenly pushed her way through the crowd and embraced a white-haired old man, Ezekiel and Heinrich were somewhat surprised. They didn't expect to find Grandpa Eirwen so soon. They felt relieved...However, the fact that there was a crowd around them signified one thing.A problem.Heinrich whispered the facts he had gathered from the people in the crowd to Ezekiel, and quickly, Ezekiel knew what problem Grandpa Eirwen was in.The three teenagers who had accompanied Grandpa Eirwen had defended him to the fullest, while the bookstore owner continued to accuse him of stealing.And from the facts Heinrich had gathered, Ezekiel decided."Enough! Everyone, please return to your respective activities. Mr Shop Owner, and the three of you, come with me to the nearest government office,” said Ezekiel.Yesha, Yelan and Molly gasped.
After these important figures of the Empire met accidentally in a place like this, for such an unexpected reason too, things quickly became clear.The three adults heard the details from the three teenagers about everything that had happened.They heard how Ezekiel made sure that everything the shop owner had done in the past would be brought up to the light, and in doing so, he imprisoned and ensured proper punishment for him.Meanwhile, the three teenagers were asked to sit down and wait until Ezra and Eirwen were ready to speak to them again after catching up with themselves. After that, they chatted for some time, until the afternoon came. They had completely forgotten that they had to go home.By the time they remembered, the sun was almost setting, and so Ezra asked a guard to summon their guardian. But it seemed that there was a misunderstanding. The guard thought Ezra asked for their guardian
"Do you know what you did wrong?"Yesha, Yelan and Molly knelt on the floor with their hands raised up. Their faces were pale and the three of them were facing the wall. They were being punished by Harriet."Answer me," Harriet said sternly from behind them.“W-we were wrong!”“R-right, we were wrong…”“We were wrong…”The three teenagers knew they were wrong.“Because we were not coming home by the time we said we're going to come home…”“…because we made trouble in the market…”“…and… ummm…”The three of them weren't sure what their fault was that made Harriet angry."And?" asked Harriet again.The three fel
"To think we'd meet them here," Heinrich said to Ezekiel in the sitting room of his room.He smiled triumphantly because the hotel he found was better than the one Ezekiel had rented. The room was more spacious and had a sitting room, although there was only one room left.He was still upset about not getting a room before, but it seemed he was reaping his luck now."I never thought that they knew the people who helped Sir Beryl either," said Ezekiel flatly. "This is such a bizarre coincidence."Heinrich smiled warmly. “How about we visit them tomorrow, after stopping by the foundation? We don't know why they're here, and it wouldn't hurt to find out either, right?”"Maybe it has something to do with Duke Almandine's treatment," said Ezekiel. "We know that they told everyone they are in the Almandine Duchy and can't be bothered, but the truth is, they are here."
