2021-08-06 22:41:28As Minerva observed Marcus, he also did the same thing to her. They both stared at each other and did not say anything until Marcus decided to greet her.
"You must be Minnie, Uncle Santi's daughter." He said in a calm voice.
She cocked her head to the side. When she was satisfied with her observation, she then nodded her head to answer his question.
"Oh," He said as he nodded, "Happy birthday."
"Woah, were you Minnie, the birthday girl?"
Minerva hastily looked at her right when she heard another voice asked. It was a little girl that was around four to five years old. Her light pink hair was in pigtails and her green jeweled eyes shone with curiosity.
As for Minerva, although it was also a child who was in front of her, she was still a bit nervous. Especially that strange Marcus was here. She gripped on Julia's skirt as she nodded her head to the little girl.

Minerva opened her eyes and what greeted her was the sight of her father as he quietly read a book on the corner.It seemed that he felt her gaze as he suddenly looked in her direction. When he saw that she was awake, he placed the book on the side and leaned on her to caress her hair."Were you okay now?" He asked. Minerva pursed her lips and nodded her head."Daddy…""Hmm?" He softly made a sound. She didn't say anything and just stared at him.Minerva wanted to say that she didn't want to go to the academy. But what if her father wanted her to enroll? What would she do? Would she defy him?She wanted to be his perfect daughter that did whatever her father wanted. But she didn't want to leave either. She was too conflicted."Zinnia told me what happened."

The party started at the moment that Santi and Minerva appeared. The guests immediately took this chance to solidify some connections that they might attain at this party as this was a rare moment for them to see those on the top echelon. Moreover, even the elusive Lorenzo was present and brought his son Marcus.As some of the guests had this thought, Minerva laid quietly his head on his father's shoulders. Her eyes remained at her father's hair as she played with it as she could feel the gaze of some of the guests which made her goosebumped. Her father was silent all the time and let her do anything that she liked.However, the silence was broken when her Uncle Lorenzo went in their direction with Marcus in tow."Little Minnie's been like that ever since the two of you appeared. What's wrong?" Minerva heard her Uncle Lorenzo asked. She didn't see his face as her back faced him."She's too nervous and

Minerva was horrified. Extremely horrified. What was that?! And why was it cringe?Her face was contorted as if she wanted to puke. The worse was the black-caped man was also as horrified as she was. His face was full of disgust and his deep purple eyes had a tinge of confusion. Well, even she was confused!Wait, don't tell her he also saw the same bullshit?If that was true, then wasn't it too shameful?Minerva's face contorted into different expressions that her father couldn't help but notice."…fuck." The black-caped man muttered.Santi, on the other hand, cocked his head to the side as his left brow was arched."I told you to bless my daughter, not curse her." He blankly said. However, the black-caped man noticed that there was something hidden in his blue jeweled eyes.Santi didn't wait as he placed down his daughter.

"What would you like, Little Miss?" Cassie asked as she followed Minerva. Minerva stood in front of the buffet table to look at the foods that were served. When she saw that it was all hors d'oeuvre, she pouted her lips and just raised her hand to hold Cassie."I didn't know that Lady Cassidy Santcliment was this good to handle kids."Minerva turned her head when she heard someone talk. And what she saw was a young lady that had blonde hair and green eyes. The fan that she held covered half of her face but it didn't cover the mockery on her voice and eyes.The young lady wasn't alone. She had three young ladies that were the same age as hers and the one beside her had the same red hair and looked a little like Cassie. The red-haired girl's chin was a bit raised as she looked at Cassie with a hint of haughtiness."What do you think, Lady Cassandra?" The blonde young lady asked as she looked at the red-

Despite a bit of the commotion that happened, Minerva chose to ignore it as she didn't want to make it a big deal. Besides, Cassie handled it without a sweat.If there would be someone who should worry, it'd be them. After all, her Aunt Adira was there and there was a possibility that her father might catch on to what happened."Were you tired?" Her father asked as he caressed her back. Her head rested on his shoulders as her half-lidded eyes were about to close. She was about to shook her head in denial when she unintentionally released a yawn."Wait, Little Minnie was about to rest now? But I still haven't carried you again yet!" Her Uncle Lorenzo suddenly said and went into her father's back to face her. Minerva remained in her position as she tried to resist her drowsiness."She's already tired." The purple-haired and grey jeweled eye wielder Aunt Allanis said as she smacked her Uncle Lorenzo's ar

As 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

"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
