2024-10-29 19:42:56As the celebration reached its end, Minerva bid her goodbye to her Aunts and Uncles together with their sons and daughters. She rubbed her eyes as she was carried by her father towards his chamber to sleep.
But who knew that the moment her father opened the door to his chamber, the black-cloaked man was already inside like it was waiting for them. Furthermore, Harika was beside him as they silently stared at each other.
"I thought you already left." Her father said when he saw the black-cloaked man.
"Well, I was late, wasn't I? So I figured that I should wait until you return out of courtesy." The black-cloaked man nonchalantly said as he inclined on the backrest of the seat.
"Who would've thought that the Great Sebastian knew courtesy?" Her father mockingly said as he placed her down on the bed.
Minerva curiously stared at him. Right, he was there all along. But she wondered why she

"Little Miss…" Cassie was lost for words. "Little Miss, where did you hear those?" She worriedly asked. Minerva glanced at Harika whose head was tilted to the side as it stared at her. "Wash my mommy dead?" She asked again. Minerva didn't want to ask about her mother despite her curiosity. But since she already slipped her tongue, she might as well ask it further. She already had a hunch that her mother was dead. But she refused to accept it unless they were confirmed by them–especially her father. Now, she wanted to know the truth. "Why did you say that your mother was dead?" Minerva stiffened and slowly turned her head from behind her. She didn't know that her father heard her words! "Leave us." Her father said. Cassie bowed her head and left the room. Now that it was only her, her father, and Ha

"Woah, mommy wash weally pwetty."Minerva said as both of her hands were on her cheeks. Her elbows lied on the edge of where her mother was laid as she knelt on the chair to level herself with her mother."Wight, Hawika?"Harika, who laid under the chair that she knelt in just grunted but didn't say anything. Minerva didn't mind his nonchalance as she was kind of used to it now.Today, they were in the forbidden place inside the estate. This was where her father chose to hide her mother as this place's protection spell was both strengthened by her father and Harika.Furthermore, she found out that the reason why it took them almost a year to retrieve her mother was because of her. As she still hadn't been blessed, she was vulnerable to any type of curse. Thus, they waited for her first birthday before they retrieved her mother.And per her father's words, it seemed

"Have you heard? It seemed that His Majesty was disappointed with the Second Prince.""I also heard that the Second Prince left the throne room yesterday with rage and His Majesty was angered.""That's not the worse, I also heard that His Majesty had rested to the First Empress's palace for weeks now. The Second Empress wreaked havoc when she found out.""It looked like the Second Prince's faction situation wasn't looking good.""Who would have thought that the Crown Prince would suddenly have thought to compete for the throne? For the past years, his presence was barely recognized as he would rather stand on the side and let the Second Prince take the limelight. But when he decided to fight against the battle for the throne, his morale was extremely high that his every move made the Second Prince shook from the intensity.""Well, he was, after all, the brother of the late First Prin

"The power of the Crown Prince grew as the day passed by. And as the Crown Prince rose, the Second Prince was slowly declining in power. Even the favor that he got from His Majesty was slowly fading. I guess, His Majesty would give the throne to the Crown Prince.""Ah, a pity. The Second Prince had been a lead candidate for the throne for ten years. Who knew that the Crown Prince would suddenly strike back? He even got support from the powerful nobles!"Minerva pretended to glance at the roses but the truth was that she listened to their conversation.She wanted to go to the butterfly garden but her father said that it was under renovation. Therefore she just decided to hang around in the Rose Garden with Shirley and Elise. And when they arrived, they started to gossip about the latest news in the empire."It was a good thing that my father was a viscount. If not, we would certainly be included in the

"Preposterous!" The Empress said as she shook. Santi just cocked his head to the side and sneered."Hey, calm down! Didn't we already talk about this? We were supposed to discuss this in a refined manner!" An ash grey-haired woman with pink jeweled eyes said as she patted Santi on his shoulder."Yeah, Constance was right. Besides, the emperor was at this age already. Weren't you afraid that he might have an episode by your brashness?" The man with black hair and brown jeweled eyes seconded."Only you, Juan Miguel, would care about that worthless things. Besides, Santi did the right thing. If we continued this stupid 'refined manner', it would take a long time for us to settle this. I didn't want to stay here any longer since I'm allergic to pathetic people." The man with black hair and red jeweled eye said and yawned lazily."Stop bitching around, Kristofer." The woman with red hair and black jeweled

Manipulated. Brainwashed.This was what Raphael experienced in his early years. But thanks to his comrades, his eyes opened and he learned the truth that was hidden from him.When he recalled the dreadful past that he had, he would unconsciously harden his decision to make sure that his daughter wouldn't experience the same nightmare that he had. That she'd had the freedom that they denied at him."Daddy…" His daughter, Zinnia, weakly said."Yes, baby. Daddy's here." Raphael softly said as he caressed her hair.He felt immense pain when he saw her pale face. She just talked to Minerva for a bit yet it already took a toll on her."Daddy… I would celebrate my fifth birthday, right?""What were you saying? Of course, you would celebrate it. Endure this for a moment, okay? Afterward, daddy would throw the grandest fifth birthday for you."

"Welcome, Young Lady Minerva de Ivrea." The shop owner smilingly greeted as she bowed her head together with the other staff. Minerva just awkwardly hugged Harika who was with her.She was currently in the most distinguished shopping district in the Capital. Her father wanted to accompany her to not only pick a present for Zinnia but also to look for some stuff that she might like. Unfortunately, he was summoned by the Crown Prince inside the palace. So, she went outside together with Cassie and Julia. Of course, Kevin, the head knight was also included. He had fourteen other best knights with him as they surrounded her.And of course, she couldn't go outside without Harika. The knights were just surface-level "bodyguards" of her; it was entirely Harika who was her real protector.Going back, Minerva wanted to look around the toy store. She wanted to see if she could somehow find a gift that was suited for Zinnia. So w

"Hello,Your Majesty," Santi greeted with a smirk, "How about we reminisce on the time when you tried to assassinate my daughter?"Santi dangerously looked down on the Emperor who lied pathetically on the ground. He shivered like a pathetic little thing that he was as he stared at him in caution."Heh, so you finally knew how to be afraid? Weren't you too brazen enough to fight against me?" Santi sarcastically remarked."Did you think you and your son's worthless antics could escape my grasp? Every little thing that you planned, I knew all of them.All of them." He said. His voice dangerously went down. Everyone in the room could feel the anger in his voice."I knew that you wanted my wife. But I restrained myself as Leno was too young at that time. If I killed you, the nobles would certainly disapprove of Leno to become the next emperor. Wouldn't I be the only one to inher

"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
