The burly man, Carlos Braxton, changed his expression and lowered his head.
"Forgive this one's sudden reaction, my injuries from before started to act up again." Carlos apologized. Santi smiled at him and waved his hand.
"Oh so it was like that. You looked so terrified that I thought you saw something that we were unable to see." He said this with a warm smile on his face. Carlos' expression remained the same but his eyes trembled a bit. It was a good thing that he had his eyes lowered, hence they did not see it.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that there was Vernon beside Lorenzo. Although he had his head lowered, the tremor in his eyes was clearly seen by Vernon, who was silently observing him.
"How could that be? Your Grace must've been in jest. "
"Right, right. I was just kidding." Santi said and laughed. He patted Carlos' shoulder be

"Was something wrong?"Minerva shook her head when Santi asked her as soon as she returned to the book store's lobby."Then did you find the book you were looking for?"She nodded her head and gave him the list of the titles of the books that she wanted. Santi received the paper and nodded his head. He then gave it to Carlos."Let's go, let's eat first." Kristina said. She held Minerva's hand and took her outside. Minerva silently followed her mother.××××"Were they asleep now?"Santi nodded his head at Kristina. Without Minerva, Vernon, and Rosemary's knowledge, as soon as they fell asleep, they were transfered to Sora's inner world."What were we waiting for? Let's go!" Lorenzo enthusiastically said. Khalil shook his head."We'll continue as planned." Santi reminded them that the four of them were cove

"What?"Minerva looked expectantly at her parents when she said she had been on her mind since yesterday. But seeing their expressions, she could not help but be nervous about their decision."Baby, you knew that it was dangerous, right?" Her father asked with his voice laced in seriousness."I promise I will only stay here inside! Besides, Harika was here with me." She insisted. She bit the bottom of her lips when her father squinted his eyes.Normally, she wouldn't oppose what he would say. This was one of the rare times that she insisted on what she wanted despite the look of disapproval on her parents' face."Was this what you want?" Her mother asked gently. Minerva vehemetly nodded her head, which made her father sigh."Alright. But we'd be back early, okay?" Her father conceded. However, she was still unsatisfied. Before she could open her mou

"Mm. Harika, how many forms can you transform into?"She recalled when Harika transformed into a black dragon. He destroyed the large mine of mana stones that was owned by the late Duke of Borgia, the father-in-law of the late Second Prince."In the entire multiverse, only fourteen beings were restricted for me to transform into. The rest, I could."Minerva stilled for a moment, "Multiverse?"Harika eyed her. "Next question."Bummer!She pouted and laid her head on the mattress as she poked his stomach."You probably lived for so long, right? How does it feel to be alive for a long time? ""Tiring.""And? That's it?""What else?"Minerva raised her head and glared at Harika, who ignored her. She was asking him seriously and yet his answers were always this half-assed!"Hmp." Harika harrumphed and pinched him

Minerva hummed happily. Both of her hands were held by Santi and Kristina as they walked to the beach. Apparently, it was a private property of Carlos. When he found out that Minerva wanted to swim, he volunteered to rent his property instead. At least they knew where they were. No unauthorized person could approach them. It'd be a perfect bonding place for their family of three. Truthfully, Lorenzo, Khalil, Vernon, and Rosemary should've been with them. However, Vernon wanted to go back to the palace as he did not want to miss any of his classes anymore. Thus, Adira fetched him back. Khalil, on the other hand, had a lot of things to do and couldn't be gone for a long time. He was too unhappy that he had to leave that Kristina had to promise him that she'd visit him in the Toen Empire. Meanwhile, Lorenzo took Rosemary with him as he was curious about her ability

"T-the stone fishes! The stone fishes attacked us!""What?"Santi knitted his brows. Stonefish attacked? How come?"Why did the stone fish attack you?""I-I don't know… Their habitats were on the boundary of the continent's array and the outside sea. But somehow, they were on between Mori Island and Likar Island."Santi frowned deeper. Mori and Likar Island? It was two islands away from where they were and twelve islands away from the boundary. How come they suddenly appeared there?"The five of us were in the boat and were about to return when the group of stonefish suddenly attacked us. If it weren't for Albert's teleportation stones that he had brought, none of us could've survived. Even if we'd be teleported to the sea due to the limit of the distance, at least we could only swim a little and we'd be on the shore." The fisherman bitterly

"Baby, I'm sorry we can't go swimming right now.""It's okay, mommy."Minerva smiled at her mother to assure her, but she still looked apologetic.Although it was a pity that she wouldn't be able to see the fish and she wouldn't get to swim, their safety was more important.After the fisherman narrated everything that he knew, her father immediately called Aunt Adira to report the incident. Within just a few minutes, there were a lot of people that started to appear. Even Aunt Adira herself came to oversee."Ysmael, Kristina, Minerva, thank you. If it weren't for the three of you, I'd still be in the dark about this issue here in Firdous Island. " Aunt Adira said. She looked more serious than before.The stonefish had been attacking the fishermen of Firdous Island for two weeks, but she only found out about it now when her father Santi reported on w

"Rosemary?"Minerva saw Rosemary jolted in fright. It seemed that she was too shocked that the laddle she was holding dropped on the floor.Rosemary paled and immediately knelt down while trembling. Minerva was at a loss as to why she was suddenly being frightened like this. Was she scary? Was a five-year-old little girl too scary for her?She helplessly glanced at Marcus, who was beside her, and who just shook his head as if he didn't know what to do."Rosemary…""Y-your H-highness… F-forgive me... I-I… I w-won't do it again... "Minerva was speechless. She hesitated if she should step forward or not. But if she did, wouldn't Rosemary's fear increase?As she was helpless in this situation, since this was the first time she'd handled it, Marcus immediately spoke."Why don't you stand up first? The floor was a bit c

"You… why were you saying such silly things?"Minerva pursed her lips and glared at Marcus, who was looking at her in amusement. If she was awkward about the way that Marcus looked at her in silence earlier, then she was too uncomfortable with what he had said."Were you flustered?""Stop saying silly things!"Marcus laughed. "What? Did I say something wrong?"Minerva glared at him, which made him laugh even more.She didn't want to brag, but she had heard countless times how adorable she was, how cute, and how pretty.But with the way Marcus had uttered it and even his expression, she didn't know but she had an urge to smack him in the face!You're funny. I just told you that you were fascinating and yet you were suddenly agitated like this.""How could I not? You were so old and yet you were hitting on little girls! Dis

"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." He paused and looked at her, "Why, did you want to learn that language?"Minerva pursed her l

"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
