2024-10-29 19:42:56Countess Vergara? Who was that? And why did she wanted to meet her?
Uncle Khalil frowned at the attendant before he answered curtly.
"Tell the Countess that the Princess was tired from the travel."
The attendant flinched but still bowed which made Uncle Khalil unhappy.
"T-the Countess also said that Her Highness couldn't be tired since His Grace would surely make sure that she'd be comfortable throughout the journey."
Minerva unconsciously arched her left brow. Who was this Countess Vergara that she was this audacious to speak like that? She spoke as if she was ordering Minerva to meet her and there was no room for objections.
Look, she even came up with that rebuttal even without hearing Uncle Khalil's response yet.
"What did she take for my daughter? Someone that she could meet every time she pleased? Go and tell her word by word that since she k

On a serious note, Minerva didn't have any idea how and why the Pope was too polite with her father. And why would the Church of Larin didn't mind it?Furthermore, her father would even call the Goddess of Larin by her name only which made her believers furious. That was what Shirley told her.Seriously, she was too curious about her father! She was always with him yet there were still a lot of things that she didn't know about him.Who was Harika? Why would its name 'Sora' shouldn't be known to anyone? Minerva had read tons of books already yet she still could not find anything related to Sora."Hey, Minnie, you were spacing out again."Minerva snapped back from her thought when she heard her Uncle Khalil called her. She flushed a little when she found that everyone's eyes were on her as she spaced out."Your uncle just asked if you wanted to rest first?" Aun

"She was such an intelligent child," Khalil said as he stared at Minerva's back.Santi crossed his arms and arched his left brow, "Of course, she would be. She's my daughter after all."Khalil scoffed, "She's also Kristina's child.""I know. That's why our daughter was this adorable and intelligent. The two of us had the greatest genes after all. Unlike someone. If not for his wife's genes, his sons could've suffered. His wife carried his bloodline.""You little piece of shit. You knew my sister's genes were the best yet you insulted me?""Of course! You know, up until now, I didn't know how you were Zariah's twin. I mean, you were ugly as hell."Khalil scoffed but didn't say anything. After a minute or two, he glanced to his right with his peripheral vision and smirked."He's gone?""Yeah."Santi narrowed his ey

Santi watched the whole debacle in front of him. When Sora appeared on its fog form that was only visible in Countess Vergara's eyes, he ordered it to spare her life.After all, only his daughter had the fun to avenge her hatred. What about him? He had been on the lookout for the Countess for a long time. He was just waiting for a time to strike back. He promised Zariah that he wouldn't do anything to the Countess.But now, Zariah and the Countess no longer owe each other. And the Countess intentionally brought herself with him. Wouldn't it be a waste to let this matter go?Minerva, Kendrick, and Giovanni had left after the Countess collapsed while Santi remained. He opened his palm and a moonstone appeared. He smirked as he caressed the moonstone and watched the contents. It was what happened earlier on how the Countess insulted Zariah and him.Frankly, Santi cared less about this matter. He co

Even if Timothy managed to clear his name after this, the damage was already done and doubt had sprouted on their minds. This disturbance may be small, but at least the masses wouldn't forget that this happened.And this was enough for Santi."Well, at the very least, I helped Adira on this one." He said as he munched the apple on his right while his left hand played with Zariah's hair.He was currently in the palace in the inner world inside Sora. This was the place where he decided to put Zariah so he could be at peace. After all, there had been a lot of scums that tried to invade his forbidden place. Therefore, as soon as he was able to use the inner world inside Sora, he immediately moved Zariah there. His daughter didn't know any of these yet. She only knew that her mother was still in the forbidden area on their estate. She didn't know that when she got inside the forbidden area, she was transported by Sora to th

It took a full five days before Minerva recovered. For those days, she only stayed bedridden due to her father and Uncle Khalil's nagging. Therefore, she was stuck inside the guestroom for five days until she was bored to death.It was a good thing that on the sixth day, she was finally allowed to go outside.Minerva heaved a sigh as she closed her eyes and let the wind blew her hair."It seemed that Minnie truly liked this boat ride."She opened her eyes and glanced at her Aunt Leticia who was in front of her. They were both the only ones who were in the boat as they wandered around.Last time, she was unable to visit the lake that her Brother Kendrick mentioned that her mother liked. But now, to Minerva's surprise, her Aunt Leticia personally came into her to invite her for a boat ride."So, how were you feeling?""I'm fine now." She answered whi

"Your Majesty! Err…"Minerva glanced at the familiar attendant who came inside the study after three successive knocks. He looked like he was in a hurry and looked bothered."What was it?" Her Uncle Khalil asked after he fed her a spoonful of avocado with milk.The attendant bowed and greeted everyone in the room before he answered."Your Majesty, His Highness Lincoln was back. And… it seemed that he was arguing with Lady Brigitte Montmorency.""Huh?" Brother Kendrick uttered in surprise. "Lincoln was already back? Didn't he was supposed to be in the South for half a year? It hasn't been a month yet."He continued, "Besides, it should take him three days before he'd arrive in the Imperial Capital. But Imperial Father wasn't two days ago, Lady Brigitte reported about the current situation in their station?"Uncle Khalil knitted his brows. But before he could say anything, the door was suddenly blasted open. Minerva

"Seriously, Lincoln screwed this up." Her father said as he carried her in his arms.They left her Uncle Khalil's study as he had a lot of things to do. Especially on what Lincoln did. There were a lot of things that both Uncle Khalil and Brother Kendrick had to clean up."Lincoln was often mischievous. However, what he did was too careless. If he wanted to return, why did he have to bring Brigitte along? She was the commander and the head of the team. What would the knights think if their Imperial Prince and Commander were suddenly gone?"Minerva was silent as she listened to her father. She understood that they were upset about Lincoln's actions. After all, countless lives were at stake here. And yet, Lincoln left his post as if the lives of the citizens and the knight's sanity weren't special."He even dreamt to be part of the Church of Larin? Nah, impossible. With his behavior, his chances to become a part of the Church of Larin was nil.""What

In the end, Minerva left with her father with only a bear in her arms. Although she felt flattered that her father was willing to buy the entire store for her, she still refused. Aside from the fact that she wouldn't be able to play with those toys, they were just a guest here in the Toen. Wouldn't it be a bother to her Uncle Khalil if they brought those toys to the Palace?She didn't want to become a burden to them. After all, her Uncle Khalil had a lot of things on his plate already. With the addition of the problem that Lincoln gave upon his return, Minerva understood clearly that her Uncle Khalil might be on his hot seat right now as he tried to stabilize the situation in the South.Still, she knew that her Uncle Khalil could solve this smoothly. After all, he was Toen's monarch for two centuries. He had already experienced multiple crises during his term. Surely, this wasn't the worst that he had handled, right? He might need to plan thoroughly as countless lives

"Minnie?"Minerva snapped back from her thoughts as soon as she saw Marcus waving his hand in front of her. She was too lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that he was calling her name."Oh, you were finally back from thinking deeply. Seriously, Minnie, you were the only one I knew that would often daze even in the middle of a tense conversation. Sometimes, I couldn't help but wonder what was running on your mind." Marcus said as his right cheek rested on his palm and looked at him with unmasked curiosity.Minerva scoffed and smacked his arm, which she often did to him."Shut up." She rolled her eyes, "And what was that about what was running on my mind? Seriously, Marcus, if you only knew, you wouldn't have wished to know."Of course, she was only joking. But Minerva didn't want to entertain Marcus anymore with this topic hence she ended this

"Do you perhaps understand this language?" Minerva asked. Marcus raised his head to look at her."Kind of. I was still studying that language but I don't have enough time. There were words and phrases that didn't make sense for me so I decided to take that books when I return home." He answered, "But if you wanted that book, you could borrow that before me.""I see." She muttered as she caressed the book."This language was rare. How did you learn about this?""Oh, that." Marcus knitted his brows as if he was recalling, "He had books that had the same language as that on his private library. I was curious about the book hence I asked him to teach me how to read that language. Although father didn't personally teach me how, he instead gave me an old book that teach how to read that language."

"Where did you get these books?" Minerva asked Marcus who was crouching down on the floor. Piles of books surrounded him as he reclined his back on the couch. There was a throw pillow on his lap while above it was an opened book.She didn't want to disturb Marcus. Minerva wanted to quietly sit in front of him as he looked too immerse on what he was reading. But as soon as she saw the title of the books that was piled up, words subconsciously blurted out on her mouth. And before she could react, she had already questioned him."Oh?" Marcus raised his head and looked at her, "Which of these?""Those at the back." She answered as she pointed at the four piled up thick books who obviously looked worn out."Oh. I found that inside the box at the library's storage room. It was interesting hence I took it." Marcus nonchalantly answered. As he looked at Minerva who had a complicated look at the old books, he

"Dad, I heard that the faculty wanted to talk to you." Minerva said in a small voice once she managed to connect the communication device to her father.Although he admonished her earlier and they already made up, Minerva still spoke carefully at her father in case that his mood hadn't dampen yet."I see. I'd talk to them later." Her father answered which made Minerva hummed. She didn't know what to say next and it seemed that her father had felt her discomfort as he sighed."I'll just finish my things first and I'd head there. Take care, okay?""Yes, dad. You too."Minerva watched as the light of the stone began to wane until it appeared to be a common rock. She placed the stone on the table and sighed."Chill out. Nothing would happen to your father. The faculty were obviously just followed the protocols as Master had breached it. At most, he would need to compens

Minerva was looking at the window on her bedroom. She sat on the chair and leaned her body to the desk. Her right cheek rested on her right palm as she gazed outside. However, although she looked like busy admiring the chipping birds on the tree and the clear blue sky, she was actually immersed on her thought.Her father had already left after he talked to Claire and the board of directors. Although Minerva wanted to follow, her father had forbid her to do so. He also said that she didn't need to meet the board of directors when it wasn't necessary. And if they insisted, her father would make sure that they'd understand what "no" meant.Minerva couldn't help but let out a sigh. Her father didn't reprimand her for strolling around the academy. But since Zinnia hadn't returned yet and Marcus was nowhere to be found, she decided to stay here for the meantime."Minnie?" She heard Zinnia said after three consective knocks.

Santi just got home after he talked privately with Sora. With that, he found out thoroughly what actually happened on the day that Minerva and Zinnia was attacked.He couldn't help but purse his lips. He had eyed this organization for years yet he couldn't find anything. Adira had already helped yet the results were the same. Even Winter, the Pope of the Church of Larin, secretly sent out information about this unknown organization yet they couldn't find anything at all. Worse, Sora had been unable to track those three who attacked Santi, Kristina, and Minerva while they were on the Halen Empire ten years ago.Although they hadn't found anything despite their combined efforts, Santi had a little bit of an inkling on who might behind all of these. After all, nobody in this world was capable enough on hiding away from Sora's radar unless it wasthem.If it truly wasthem just like what Santi a

Out for Santi's courtesy, Marcus excused himself so Minerva and Santi could have a time to talk. Although the tension increased as soon as Marcus left, Minerva chose to remain silent and let her father vent out. After all, it was her fault that she didn't say a word about the incident."Minerva Chrysalis, didn't I tell you to report to me immediately if something had happened to you? We talked last night before you went to sleep, right? I asked you if something happened but you just told me that you and Zinnia went outside to stroll. Nothing more. And yet just this morning, Claire had talked to me about the attempted assassination that happened yesterday? When you and Zinnia went outside?"Minerva bit the bottom of her lips and lowered her head. She knew that her father would certainly be mad about her hiding this for him. However, now that she had faced his anger, she couldn't help but feel regret on her decision."Wh

The breakfast was over and Serena, Parker, and Sancho went home. Although Serena and Parker were sent together in a mission with Vernon and Hansel, it was also the same case for Sancho. He was sent into an A rank mission. Therefore, what was left was Minerva, Zinnia, and Marcus."Lady Zinnia, a student sent a message saying that the young lady was summoned by Professor Claire." A maid said after she knocked three times on the dining room."Ah? Okay." Zinnia stood up and looked at Minerva."I'll be back. If you want, you could go with Marcus.""It's fine. I'll just wait for you here." Minerva said with a smile. Then, Zinnia left leaving Minerva and Marcus."So…" Marcus began, "Uncle Santi didn't permit you to go outside the Larin Continent?""Huh?" Minerva took a bite from the cake before she answered, "I thought you already knew?""I had a h
