"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
"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
Once upon a time, in the continent of Larin, there stood the powerful Kingdom of Sora. The kingdom was famous around the continent for its enormous colony. Aside from that, thousands of powerful mages resided in the kingdom and governed the commoners. Even the king himself, Roderick IV, was a powerful archmage.But despite the prosperity of the Kingdom of Sora, the cruelty and abuse among the commoners could never be ignored.Even way before the reign of Roderick IV, the citizens of the Kingdom of Sora suffered from the maltreatment of the mages. Men were forced to mine on the dangerous mountains, women were sold as slaves, the elderly were captured to become the offerings for the vicious beasts, and children were abducted and became the subjects for the mages' experiments.For hundreds of years, the commoners prayed to the gods to save them from the torment that they were in. Until they lost hope that they could ever
Two thousand eight hundred years after the legend of Lorenzo resonated on the entire Larin Continent, numerous kingdoms rose and fell. Wars broke out, small kingdoms were conquered, and thousands to millions of people were killed.While the disaster happened, the nobles' lives remain unaffected. However, it was different from the commoners as they were the ones that were affected the most in the recurring crisis.With the circumstance they were in, the commoners clung to their hope that the legend of Lorenzo was true. That one day, Lorenzo would appear and save them from despair, just like what he did on the fallen Kingdom of Sora.Unfortunately, the reality was often cruel.The current king of the Moren Empire, the Larin Continent's most powerful empire, was aware of the commoners' thoughts. But he did not mind; since for him, they were just disposable pieces.King Benedict IX, the
Minerva tried to put her hand on her face out of habit. But she recalled that the current her did not have any arm and wrist strength. So, she decided to recline her small body and stare at the wide ceiling.'Wow, even the ceiling was beautiful.' She thought as she admired the pretty butterflies that were drawn on the ceiling.'It was inclined to my taste. Not bad! Not bad!' She praised as she nodded her head. But she soon stopped as she felt dizzy.'Seriously living inside the body of a baby was troublesome!' Minerva thought in annoyance."Good morning, Little Miss!" Shirley greeted as soon as she saw her."Baa boo ah bah!" Quick, finish the book that you read yesterday! I wanted to know what happened!"Aww. Was our Little Miss hungry? Alright, alright let's wait for Elise, okay?" Shirley cooed as she rubbed her back."Woooo! Ah bah bah!" No! I wa
"The Little Miss was alright. She just felt ecstatic. You did not need to worry anymore." The physician said after she checked Minerva numerous times to made sure that she was really alright."Then, thank you and sorry for the trouble," Shirley said to the physician. On the other hand, Elise heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that their Little Miss was alright.The two of them just chatted while they glanced at the painting of Princess Lianna when suddenly, the Little Miss started to shiver as she stared into the air. Shirley and Elise, and even the knights, fell into disruption as they wondered what occurred in the sudden condition of the Little Miss.If anything bad would have happened to her, they knew the consequence they would face once His Grace found out–and that would not be a simple one for them.When Minerva snapped out from her thoughts, she found herself back inside her cha
Minerva's eyes shone in delight as she saw the butterfly garden with her own eyes.The garden was huge and there was a variety of flowers in different colors which made the garden looked lovely and vibrant.Moreover, there were also topiaries of different colored butterflies. In the middle of the garden was a huge fountain that has a statue of butterflies that formed into a circle. Then in the center of the butterflies was a crystal sphere.The pathway was made of white stones that have tiny butterflies designed. On the left side were benches that have butterflies printed on them. Also, on the right side was a huge greenhouse.Finally, the butterflies that Minerva adored gracefully flapped their wings as they danced into the flowers.Minerva let out an awestruck sigh as she was extremely captivated by the beautiful scenery.'This… was made for me?'
Minerva yawned. She was carried by Shirley all along but she felt tired that she wanted to sleep.Although she fell asleep in the afternoon, she still felt sleepy.The door suddenly opened and Cassie went inside. Right, it was already nighttime. Cassie would have to lull her to sleep like she always did.She yawned once again and Cassie smiled a little.Seriously, Cassie was too pretty especially when she smiled. Most of the time she would look serious and strict. She remembered that Shirley would sometimes tell Elise how she was intimidated by Cassie. Minerva hoped that Cassie would smile often as it suited her.If Shirley saw Cassie smiled, she would surely gape in shock.Before Cassie could start to sing, they heard a knock on the door. Cassie furrowed her brows. Then, Minerva became confused when she was instantly carried by Cassie in her arms.
Lorenzo…He was the first-ever jeweled eye possessor. There were tons of legends that surrounded him. Whether it was about his life or the deeds that he had done, it had circulated the Larin Continent, as per Shirley.However, she did not expect that she could see this famed person right in front of her.In the books, they described Lorenzo as a gentle and kind man that lived in solitude. He achieved his dream to live in the mountains away from the people.A lot of people tried to find where Lorenzo resided. However, they still could not find it no matter what. Until they decided to give up as they knew that it was all for naught. After all, Lorenzo was a known powerful archmage. He might have used concealment magic for his home to prevent from being disturbed.During the war with the devils that happened every hundred years, he would always stand as the vanguard. He slaughter
