Both of her parents looked at Minerva when she suddenly asked that out of the blue.
"Before, it was only a place of ruin. I heard that there was a large fire during lowtide that devoured the houses. But it had been years since I last went there, so I wasn't sure if it was still the same as before. Why?" Her father asked after he explained.
Minerva pursed her lips. She looked around them to make sure that no one was around or looking at them.
"No one was here, baby." Her mother assured her. "What was it?"
"Harika said that I should go there."
"Harika?" Her mother asked in confusion.
Her father faked a cough. "It's Sora."
"Oh!" She exclaimed, "Did our baby come out with that name?"
"Yeah."
Minerva squinted her eyes but she did not say anything. She just listened

The woman trembled as she tried to cover her face with the scarf. But despite her attempt, the burnt flesh on her face was still visible. She was barely even recognizable and her left eye was already closed due to a scar. Her hands that hastily took the scarf to cover her face were also burnt. Minerva opened and closed her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out. "Where was that bitch?!" An annoyed roar from a man could be heard. Afterward, a rustling sound was heard. "Quick, hide her!" Minerva wrinkled her brows but still followed Harika. She looked at her mother, who was also looking at her. Then, she waved her hand and a golden array covered the four of them. "Di-divine power..." The woman shook as she stared wide-eyed at the array that her mother made. "That wench! Watch how I'd whip her when I found her!

Slave belt?"Slavery was extremely prohibited in the Halen Empire. I wonder what Adira could say about this." Her mother interjected, which made the woman wince."Tsk."Minerva hid her smile when she saw her father going in the direction of the woman and holding the slave belt around her neck. The woman shivered and closed her eyes."Tsk." Her father once again clicked his tongue and stood up. The slave belt on her neck was now broken into pieces by her father.Her mother, who watched this with Minerva, smiled and reached her hand."Let's go?

"G-good morning, Y-your Highness...""Oh, Rosemary. Good morning to you, too."Minerva nodded her head at Rosemary, who seemed bashful."Why did you stay outside? Where's daddy?""U-uhm... I-I wanted to w-wait for Y-Your Highness...""I see." She said. "Then, let's go."The two of them went into the dining room of the guest house in Aunt Adira's palace.

Of course, the main reason was to be with her mother without anyone's knowledge.As they went inside the dining room, her parents were already inside waiting for her."Good morning, Mommy.

"Were you okay?"Minerva snapped back from her thoughts and glanced at her mother, who looked worried, and her father, whose brows were furrowed. Despite the different expressions that they had, Minerva could still see a hint of concern on their faces.She wanted to say yes, but deep inside, she felt restless. Well, she's been restless for a while now. There was a lingering feeling of danger that she felt when the old man from earlier told her to take care. She wanted to brush that thought of hers aside and convinced herself that the old man did not mean anything. However, the more that Minerva brushed it aside, the more restless she was.

"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

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
