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?

"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.

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.

"Would you like to try some?" Santi asked Kristina as he pointed at the barbeque. Kristina arched her left brow before she nodded her head."Give us two." Santi said to the young man. The young man was immediately thrilled and quickly heated up the barbeque.As they waited for the young man to heat up the barbeque, Minerva watched the young man as he skillfully spread the sauce on the meat.They did not wait for long as the young man finished heating the barbeque and handing it to Santi and Kristina.

"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. Look, she did not even notice that her parents were worried!"Baby, remem

"Adira!""What? What's going on?"Adira's brows furrowed when she heard the hurried voice of Santi. This was the first time that she heard this tone of his that made her think that this was some kind of emergency.Blue light shone and three people appeared out of thin air. The first thing that she saw was Santi, who was covered in blood as she carried the unconscious Minerva in her arms. Her bloody face and clothes made Adira freeze on the ground until she saw a woman that held the child's hand. As soon as Adira saw the woman's visage, her body shook in disbelief."K-Kristina?"Kristina looked at Adira. Their eyes met, and Adira stood frozen like a statue. She only came into her senses when Santi called her."Adira! Call a physician!"Adira snapped into her senses. She glanced at Kristina one more time before she left and called for a p

"H-how... How was this possible?" Adira couldn't help but ask as she looked at Kristina from head to toe."I told you, didn't I? Nothing can stop me." Kristina said proudly. But, she sighed afterward and glanced at her unconscious child who was being tendered to by her husband, Santi.Adira had a lot of things to ask for. But seeing her worried about her daughter, she swallowed all the questions that wanted to come out of her mouth and instead asked something."What happened to Minnie?"Kristina sighed, "We were attacked by three people. I don't know what the identity of the two men was but the woman was somewhat familiar to me but I couldn't recall her at all."She told Adira about what happened. After Minerva fainted, Santi was mad and almost went berserk. But it seemed that they had prepared beforehand as before Santi went berserk, the three was suddenl

"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
