2021-10-11 23:50:17"Wow, you two looked serious. I just left for a while, and yet your expressions have become this solemn. Were you that sad to be left by me?"
Minerva snapped her head to the direction of the door when she heard her Uncle Lorenzo's voice. She pursed her lips as she was left speechless by him.
Solemn? Why did he think that their expressions were solemn? The two of them looked calm and peaceful, especially Marcus. As if he hadn't shared his sad and tragic life with her back then when he was Leno.
"Little Minnie, if you were that sad, how about you'd call Cassie and let her come here to accompany you? You could also call for Shirley, Elise, and especially Julia." Uncle Lorenzo said this with a gentle smile on his face.
However, Minerva knew deep inside that he was just scheming.
Uncle Lorenzo was too good. He used the pretext of her being sad and her father no

"Your Highness! We missed you! The estate felt lonely without you." Shirley said upon seeing her.Minerva forced a smile on her face and sighed. She glared at her Uncle Lorenzo, whose smile stretched across his face. His eyes twinkled in delight as his eyes focused on the woman in the back."Hmp!" She snorted and crossed her arms.She refused to admit that she had lost to her uncle Lorenzo's persistence. Despite her attempts to block Uncle Lorenzo, it was all in vain as he was always three steps ahead of her.Uncle Lorenzo must've felt her mood wasn't good when he glanced at her direction. He chuckled and patted her head before he returned his gaze at the four maids in front."Welcome to my humble abode. Forgive me if I invited you here for such a short time. Santi had left Little Minnie in my care for a while since he had an emergency. But as much a

"Uncle! I want to stay with you!" Minerva shouted firmly and grabbed his arm. He schemed against her so Julia could come here? She wouldn't make it easy for him then! Minerva was disappointed with Uncle Lorenzo's laughter at her actions, which made Minerva angry. She wanted to see him disappointed that he was unable to be with Julia, but contrary to her expectations, it seemed that he had seen it coming. "Well, then. I'd be glad to do so!" However, before Uncle Lorenzo could carry her, a blue light suddenly shone and her father appeared. "Daddy!" Minerva exclaimed in surprise. Her father smiled faintly at her and gathered her in his arms

Minerva was in the good mood all day long. Although Uncle Lorenzo was persistent and even though her father would sometimes back him, she still hindered his plan to get close to Julia.Unfortunately, Marcus somehow backed Uncle Lorenzo, hence she threw him out. And now, it was only her and Julia inside this chamber. Julia was combing Minerva's hair as she would sneak a glance at her through the reflection of the mirror."Julia?""Yes, Your Highness?" She asked with a smile on her face.Minerva stared at her. Of all her four maids, Julia was the one who she could feel the sincerity of the most.She knew that Cassie only saw her as someone she needed to take care of. As her father paid for her services, she also did her best to do her job well.Despite this, Minerva did not harbor any dislike or disappointment towards Cassie. After all, she was truly

"...Did you feel this way because I had hindered Uncle Lorenzo from making a move on you?""No, Your Highness. Even without Your Highness's intervention, I still did not plan to be attached to His Excellency. "Minerva stared at Julia, whose gentle smile still hung on her face. She wanted to grimace at her expression but just stopped herself."May I know why?"Although Minerva was curious, she didn't want to burden her at all. She didn't want to make Julia feel that she had infringed on her "affair" with her Uncle Uncle. Even if it was likely the case, Minerva did it just to annoy her uncle, who did not think but pestered her nonstop. And now that she had something to her advantage against him, h

Minerva had a lot to say about Julia in regards to her Uncle Lorenzo. Words did not come between them, but she defended her uncle. However, was she in a position to say that? With the way that this went, it seemed that Julia had made up her mind.Still, she could only say that it was only for now. After all, with Uncle Lorenzo's ways, it was impossible for him to give up.She sighed and just remained silent. A few seconds later, a knock was heard and the door swung open. It was her father who looked a bit tired.As soon as their eyes met in the reflection in the mirror, he smiled gently at her and went in her direction. And Julia, who was done braiding her hair, nimbly retreated to the side to bow and quietly left the room."Hello, my cheeky little girl." Her father greeted her and kissed her hair.Minerva beamed at her father and hugged him. "Hello, daddy

"She's asleep now?"Santi, whose face had lit up brightly earlier, had now become serious. He just swept a glance at Lorenzo, who was leaning against the pillar as both of his arms were crossed.He did not answer Lorenzo and the latter did not say any further. They just stared for a moment before they both went into the direction of the study.As soon as they both entered, Santi sat on the couch and spread his arms on the top of the back rest as he rested his head on it. He just closed his eyes and remained silent. Lorenzo, on the other hand, sat in front of him."…you almost exploded." Lorenzo said, after a long silence.Santi did not react. He just heaved a heavy sigh before he lifted his head and glanced at Lorenzo."And I admire my patience for not doing so."Lorenzo chuckled at his reponse. However, he soon turned serious."

"Bye, my sweet little Minnie. Don't miss me too much!"Minerva stuck her tongue out at her Uncle Lorenzo before she giggled. She waved her hand at Marcus, who was also doing the same thing."We'll come on your birthday." Marcus said.She nodded her head. "Then let's see each other soon."After their goodbyes, Minerva, who was in her father's arms, together witn her four maids, left Uncle Lorenzo's house and teleported into their home."Welcome back, Your Grace, Your Highness." Alvin, the head butler, greeted them as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the estate."Mm." Her father grunted and continued to walk inside. As soon as they went inside, Minerva was greeted by the huge painting of the three of them together. The one where her mother was present and carried her in her arms. The one that her father personally painted.She just silen

"Minnie, don't be scared! We survived the Dawn of the Fifth, so you will surely survive too! "Minerva smiled as Zinnia cheered her up. She looked cute as she tried to do so. Her green jeweled eyes glistened and both of her hands clasped as she reassured her.Zinnia patted on the box that she placed. "This would be my first gift to you. At your fifth birthday celebration, I will give you my main gift! So you should look forward to it!"Minerva chuckled at her enthusiasm before she nodded her head.Before she could say anything, Minerva and Zinnia both turned their heads towards the entrance of her butterfly garden."I am the big sister, so I should be the one who gives Minnie the gift!""Bah! What were you talking about? Brother Nathan was older than you!""I said I am the big sister! Was Brother Nathan a big sister to you? "Stupid good-for-n

"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
