"I think your conclusion, well, some of it, is the correct one."
Liam raised his eyebrows, though his face was still as level and cold as before.
"But don't forget that my sister has reason to say everything she says," Heath said, straightening himself after he managed to catch his breath.
“What do you mean reason? I know she already understands that once I swallow the stone, I will be cursed with immortality. And one day, she will leave me alone," Liam said. “How could she have the heart to let me live such a life?”
“Your Grace, have you forgotten that even now you are already half-immortal?” Heath asked.
Liam furrowed his brows even more. "But I can still die."
"You're not dead even after 70 years of living without your heart, Your Grace," Heath spoke quickly, almost cutting Liam's words off.
The two of the
"But, even if she trusted you to bear all of that, will you let her?"Hearing this, Liam fell silent."You know what I mean, right?"Of course, Liam immediately understood why Heath had directed their conversation this way. Liam had received treatment that would help him recover, but Harriet would remain human once he recovered.“I brought the stone here today…to persuade Elder Sister to swallow it,” Heath said. Liam saw Heath rise from his seat and stretch his back. "Isn't this a reasonable solution?"“You will recover, and Elder Sister will become immortal. You two, no—we could all be living together for a very long time.”Liam furrowed his brows in displeasure. Why was a Goldlane's way of thinking so…"For me, besides you, no one else in this world deserves to swallow that stone and gain immo
“Milord, what do you think of the letter from His Grace? Would you like to add something?” asked Harriet.Liam looked up, saw Harriet's warm smile and smiled back. He received the reply Harriet had written and read it for a moment, then handed it to Harriet again."Just add that we miss Grandpa, and hope Grandpa is well in our absence," Liam said softly."All right," Harriet smiled and started writing again, then signing them.After folding it and sealing it in a white envelope, she gave it to Liam so Liam could take it to Jake Scolecite to be sent to Almandine Castle by his men."I'll be right back," Liam said, kissing Harriet on the cheek and seeing the smile in her eyes.As soon as Liam left, Harriet, who had been trying so hard to contain the excruciating dizziness in her head, quickly reached for the handkerchief in the desk drawer. She could
After all, poor people were insignificant! They were of no benefit, useless to him and his land—other than being dirty servants and lowly errands, of course.And now, even after he came home, he had to take care of one of the lowly people like them."My Lord, we're going to take a detour to take Miss Abby home first," said the coachman as they stopped at the city gates.Hearing that, Otto Obsidian clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Yes, yes, fine."He was actually tired and wanted to go home and take a bath with his beautiful, slender and fragrant maids. But that's okay. Every now and then he would take a detour for those rats. He was generous enough.Finally, they crossed a different path than the one Otto and Laurel used to take. Abby who was sitting next to the coachman pointed the way to her house, and before long, they arrived.However, Abby furrowe
Liam could clearly see Harriet's displeased face, and he knew why. Harriet's eyes focused on a young woman who had been rude to Molly since before, and as the result, she was still standing in the doorway without moving.Seeing Harriet still insisting on waiting for Molly at the door, Liam took off the jacket he hadn't taken off since he came home and put it on Harriet's shoulders. Sensing Liam's movement next to her, Harriet looked up and thanked him."You think this will be a problem?" Liam asked."Mm-hm," Harriet nodded. "But this will be a good lesson for Molly."The two waited until Molly managed to persuade her sister to go to their residence. And Harriet showed her warm smile as Molly approached them with Abby, her shabby-looking sister."You must be Abby. Molly has told me a lot about you," said Harriet when she saw Abby's face. This young girl looked healthy even though
When everyone finally gathered around the table, Harriet could clearly see Molly's expression. Everyone was acting normal except for the teenage girl."Molly, do you not like the chicken curry I made tonight?" asked Harriet."Ah!" Molly was surprised. "I-I like it, of course!"The teenage girl began to lower her face towards her food. Abby did the same. It had been so long since she had tasted this delicious food. But in the middle of dinner that day, she had decided to force Molly to ask for their house's money.She kicked Molly's leg so hard it made Molly groan softly with her mouth full of food.Of course, Molly immediately understood what Abby wanted. She slowly swallowed her food and nervously looked at Harriet."Mrs Gold, can we talk after dinner?" Molly asked in a low voice.Harriet looked up at Molly and smiled. She wiped her lips
Molly's words made Harriet smile."Why are you disappointed, Molly?" asked Harriet softly.“Hmm…” Molly looked confused herself. What really disappointed her? Was it because Abby was still acting the way she usually did to her even though she had already made money for her?She should have known what she should expect from Abby. Deep in her heart, she knew Abby would never change. And considering that Abby had left her once when she was really, really sick and almost greeted the grim reaper, Molly shouldn't have been disappointed anymore.She should have been just grateful that Abby was back at all.Harriet sat close to Molly and put her arm around her shoulders, hugging the girl's head to her chest. The young woman stroked Molly's hair gently and patted her shoulder as if to comfort her."How do you feel now?" asked Harriet then.&n
Tch.A man in black robes clicked his tongue in anger.The sun had begun to climb up from the eastern horizon. His time had run out.“That damned Hyacinth brothers—”He cursed and turned away. He jumped high into the sky from that dark and steep valley, and his body instantly turned into a giant bat monster that flew away from the morning sun. Behind him, followed hundreds of other figures who instantly turned into a flock of bat monsters.Though he thought he would succeed in destroying the Hyacinth Kingdom tonight with the army he had built for hundreds of years, he never expected that the three Hyacinth brothers would unite and thwart his plans.The rumours about the gap between them were false!Who said they wanted to behead each other?!Moreover, their eldest brother suddenly came and protected
Like <Aura Masters>, Mages also had their classes and levels, though they were much more complicated. And usually, these levels were divided into the number of <Imaginary Circles> that a Mage could construct.An ordinary human who couldn't sense and control Mana were those who were called the <Zero Classes> or who hadn't been affected by Magic Art Education at all. They also didn't have a single <Imaginary Circle>.After learning a few months about Mana Theory, one would begin to be able to sense the flow of Mana around them.And at this stage, that meant they could start making their first <Imaginary Circle>.What is <Imaginary Circle>?<Imaginary Circle> was a circle that a Mage could imagine in their head, or within themselves, that they used to process Mana. Some Mages could also imagine that the <Imaginary Circle> was where one
