Silence.
Ezra looked at Heinrich's soothing and serious face, knowing that he was only worried about her. But she refused to answer him. "You should focus on the war. Go."
"I'm sending my army to your husband as we speak," Heinrich seriously pestered. "I want you to tell me what you are worried about, or I won't leave. Did you see your own face? It's like your face is saying that tomorrow will be the apocalypse."
Heinrich was worried because he knew how Ezra knew something no one else knew. She had repeated her own life 7 times, and he never saw her this afraid.
Ezra looked up at him, didn't know what to say. But then, she gave up. If it was Heinrich... then she could say it.
"I'm... pregnant..."
The second Ezra said that word. Heinrich lost his breath.
Ezra looked up at him, seeing his eyes widen and witnessing the man's world change rig
[1 week ago]"Mirai!"A middle-aged woman tried her best to chase a red-haired young man. "Mirai, stop!"But the young man didn't hear or care about his mother as he continued walking away. He ignored her shouts. His hair was messy with sand, but it was still beautiful like an angel had landed on earth in human form.The young man wore simple black pants, leather boots, and a white scarf covering his chest.This castle was far from empty; soldiers and servants went about their daily tasks. Then, finally, he stopped at the base of the stairs leading up to the main hall, where his mother caught up to him."Where are you going, Mirai?! What are you going to do?!" the middle-aged woman shouted.The young man turned around slowly. "Stop yelling."His mother's mouth opened wide in shock, but he didn't even notice. "You're m
NEW BATCH OF WYVERNS!WATCH OUT!The beach slowly fell into chaos. The soldiers on the shoreline were shouting and screaming as they tried to get away from the approaching monsters, while those that hadn't made it out yet were scrambling to find something to fight them with."MAGES!"Heinrich screamed, calling out to his personal army. He was right to choose this place to defend because he could not convince the other world leaders to help with the war on the Euclase.While Axias himself was focusing on defending the other points of the Continent's Eastern Shore, he spread his army to so many parts that he left his only son to protect against the enemy's main army.After the last war, Euclase was in a constant crisis. Axias trained more men and grew his army, but at the same time, he didn't spare anything for his own son. He was such a strict father...
"You came."Axias talked to a very familiar middle-aged man standing on top of the deck of his magnificent fleet. He was his brother, the Grand Duke of Euclase."How could I not?" the man said, smiling. "As a man in charge of the Empire's maritime military, it's the only thing I must do."He looked up at the clear, dark sky and laughed loudly as if he'd been waiting for this moment forever. "You, too, don't have a choice except to receive my help, right?"Axias rolled his eyes, but he also smiled. If this man didn't have his back, he would never be able to dispatch his army only to the east of the continent."Don't worry about the west. Most West Continent's powerhouses had reached an agreement to not attack us, and they told me, specifically," Eoin said."Because you spent most of your life in the western seas... right?" Axias asked."No
The sun rose, but the sky still glowed red. The morning air carried the scent of smoke. A battle had been raging in the night.A group of soldiers ran across the beach. They wore armor, and some held shields, but most carried spears. Their faces were dirty, and their hair was messed up.Some of them stopped, breathing heavily. They stared at the horizon."We're lucky the Wyverns didn't come here... I heard they attacked the North and the Crown Prince's Army...""Yeah. But still..."The Army from Serpentes had successfully invaded the beach of Padparadscha. But it would be hard for them to invade further. Padparadscha had hired mercenaries and dispatched all of their <Aura Masters> to the war.Not to mention, their Duke and their Young Lord had also led them himself."Don't worry. If even Young Lord Mirai and the two Young Masters ar
The blizzard had completely gone. The streets were clear, and a blanket of fresh snow covered everything. A thin layer of ice glazed everything on the ground; it was slick beneath the giant wolves' army as they walked.Liam was pulling Harriet's hand, guiding her forward inside the church's aisle. She was blindfolded, and a small smile of excitement was on her face.In front of the Gods' statue was a small table with a medium-sized golden basin on top of it. Two middle-aged men stood around the basin, turning in the direction of the door."Why are you blindfolding yourself?" Orcenal, one of the middle-aged men asked."This is important, Sir. I want it to be special," as Harriet arrived in front of the golden basin, Liam began to stand behind her, hugging her behind her back."How do we do this?" Harriet asked."Well, Madam," the Alchemist, who was not used to
It was a whole night of battle. The sky lightened up in light purple and blue color. It was finally dawn.But still...The ocean was red. Wyvern carcasses floated to the shore, dying the wave red with blood. The water was full of fire, burned ships, and screams.Ezekiel gazed to the East, to the enemy's main fleet that had just lessened the number to half. The rest that could still flee retreated. And he started to see a flock of ravens turned in his direction."You good, man?" Heinrich, the man who rode the black cloud platform of ravens, asked."Yeah," Ezekiel answered."You pushed them back," Heinrich said. "You did it.""Nah, you did, man," Ezekiel chuckled. "What was that fucking nightmare?"A dark shadow of a gigantic long creature loomed below the water's surface. Heinrich smiled. "She's Levia. I'll call her ba
"I am... your father."Harriet turned to Orcenal. Her eyes immediately lit up with joy. But then, she turned back to Helena; the direction Orcenal was looking at."I deserved that," Helena walked closer. "Why didn't the two of you never curse me right in front of me?"She nodded, smiling thinly. "I deserved to be called a whore by my own daughter anyways."Harriet narrowed her eyes at her mother's statement. While at the same time, Shawn opened his mouth wide in astonishment after he realized who the middle-aged woman was, and Liam was very awkward in this weird family setting..."If you are here, Mother, does that mean His Grace the Grand Duke is also here?" Harriet asked."No," Helena glanced at Orcenal. "Good thing he wasn't here, or else this man would die.""Excuse you, who would die?" Orcenal said sharply."Anyw
Fashion.It was the very one thing Harriet was very interested in.Harriet assumed that her mother knew, but she never cared about it. But now, hearing her suddenly mention nail polish, her heart somewhat felt sore."I've... heard of it," Harriet answered."Mm, you must try it. It will suit your hands. They said they could also give you nail extensions... I heard it's all about fashion alchemy. Go invest in them."The whole time, Helena didn't look straight into her eyes. She looked down at her injured hand. But her voice was incredibly gentle. It was almost like the Helena Harriet knew was not here right now.Helena dressed her wound carefully like she was afraid of hurting her more. Her expression was relaxed, but she still didn't wear her heart on her sleeve.Harriet... couldn't deduce what was on her mind.At that
