2024-10-29 19:42:56"Good morning, Your Highness." Julia greeted her as soon as she woke up. Minerva rubbed her eyes as she looked around.
Last night, the three of them slept in her room, cuddling together. But as soon as she woke up, her parents were not around anymore, leaving only her.
Well, it was kind of understandable on her mother's part as she did not want anyone to know that she was already awake nor to let them know that she was "alive". After all, it'd be a great controversy that the spouse of the Saint Archmage managed to survive after giving birth to a jeweled eye wielder.
However, despite their resolution to make this a secret, Minerva still doubted if it'd be only her, her father, and Harika knew that her mother was now awake.
How about Uncle Khalil? Uncle Khalil knew that her mother was only in a state of unconsciousness. Would they tell him that she was now awake af

"Welcome to the Halen Empire."Minerva lightly raised the hood of her robe as she glanced outside the carriage. Her blue-jeweled eyes, which had become brown due to her father's magic, shone in glee as she looked around. Her wavy silver hair that turned brown came in between the views when she raised her hood."Daddy, it was so different from Azenla and Toen." She exclaimed in surprise.Unlike the Azenla and Toen Empires, the Halen Empire was located in the far west of the continent. Hence, the vast sea could be seen as soon as they arrived on the Halen Empire's territory. As they needed to climb a mountain before they'd arrive on the Halen Empire, the twinkling vast sea could be seen in a clear view.Minerva could not help but sigh. This was too beautiful. This was the first time that Minerva saw the sea with her naked eye in both of her lives.Back then,

"You know, you are creepy." Her father said and turned around. The old lady did not say anything but looked at Minerva. Minerva felt herself stiffening and avoided her gaze."Fucking Malachi." Her father grumbled irritatedly."Shh! Someone might hear you!" Her mother hushed and looked around.Her father snorted and continued to walk. But Minerva felt that her father hugged her tightly.She could not help but be curious. Who was Malachi? And why did her mother suddenly become aware of their surroundings when her father cursed him?"Da-dad…""Later, baby. We'll talk later." Her father said this with seriousness laced in his voice.Silence ensued as they walked. Her initial excitement began to fade.Her enthusiasm continued to plummet as seconds went by until her mother spoke."Baby, come to mommy. Mommy will carry you. Your daddy m

"Daddy, Mommy, what's on the seaside on the northwest?"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!

"If we take you in, wouldn't it be troublesome for us since you had that slave belt on your neck?"The woman stiffened and unconsciously grasped her neck. That made Minerva's brows furrow. 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? Those from the restaurant might notice that the slave belt on your neck was broken, so we had to leave. " Her mother

Adira shook her head helplessly."Whatever, Ysmael."She turned her attention to the woman whose face was covered with a scarf and ignored Santi."Rosemary, can you tell us what happened? I promise you with my name that I will give you the justice that you deserve. "Rosemary started to tear up when she heard the words of the monarch of the land she grew up in, Empress Dowager Adira.She closed her eyes and after a few seconds, opened them and told them everything.××××"Can't sleep?"Santi turned his attention to his wife, Kristina Zariah, before he slowly nodded his head.Kristina went into his direction and sat beside him. Santi wrapped his arms around Kristina and planted a kiss on her hair."I just did not expect that Sora would do this.""Sora was always like this. He was silent

"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. And as per her father's request, the maids would station outside the room where they would occupy. 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. Good morning, Daddy." Minerva enthusiastically greeted and went into her mother's direction to sit on her side. Afterward, she leaned into her and gave her a peck on her cheek."Good morning, my p

After the breakfast that they had, her mother made Rosemary promise that she wouldn’t tell a soul about the fact that she was alive and well. And Rosemary, as obedient as she was, made an oath under the name of the Goddess Larin that she wouldn’t tell anyone about her."Mommy, will you not tell Uncle Khalil about you?" Minerva could not help but ask her mother as the latter braided her hair.Her mother was silent for a moment before she answered, "Later. I’ll talk to him later."She nodded her head. At least her mother was willing to talk to Uncle Khalil. For sure, Uncle Khalil would be delighted to know that her mother was now awake after almost a decade of slumber.

"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
