The next morning Irina and Roman were having breakfast. As usual Nieal joined them. They all were in the dining room sipping tea while butler Rhys was preparing the table. He served food which he freshly brought from the manor and was cooked by Nieal’s personal cook. Eying the food in the butler’s hand from the basket on the way to the table, Lila thanked the butler. “Thank you, butler Rhys. The food smells delicious.” Butler Rhys smiled. “Cook Ryan prepared it for you, Miss. He knows you like the stew that he usually prepares, but for this morning stew, he said he made a little modification with the ingredients, he hopes you like it, Miss.” “Tell him I’ll love everything he prepares for me, and will eat them wholeheartedly.” “I’m sure he’d like to hear that.” Replied the butler kindly. Putting his cup onto the saucer, Nieal snorted. “Why don’t you learn how to make it, then you can make it yourself.” Irina lifted her forefinger, then moved it sideways left and right. “Na-uh, I d
Irina woke up the next morning. She felt as normal as she usually did. Nothing was wrong with her. She looked at her surrounding, then blinked slowly.“I’m in my room.” She lifted her both hands and did the stretching while said. “GooooooooDDD.”Marthe was about to open Irina’s bedroom door when she heard Irina’s loud stretching. She immediately informed Roman about that. The house was like the common medium size house like most of member of the town had. So, Roman reached Irina’s bedroom in no time. He surprised
Waking up in the morning, Irina went to freshen herself then hurriedly back to her room. She took the book from the table then sat on the bed. she opened The Cotts. The first page was empty. She closed it. Then she opened again, from the back. The two last pages was fill with a family tree. She found her name written under her parents’s name. Her name wrote with a bright deep blue ink. Under every name had a year of birth and death. She touched the letter of her name, she looked at them closely. Her year of birth was wrong. Then she examined the others.Frowning, she bit her thumb unconsciously like she always did while thinking. “It’s six hundred years from now. How is that poss
The Scholar-Dome was really a dome. Surrounded by many trees. The building was narrow, stood tall as the only building in the area. Many scholars were in and out the building, greeting each other or share some information.Irina and Roman walked on the walking track of a white sand towards the large double front door. Irina’s eyes followed the white sand track. Her eyes couldn’t continue to where the track end, since many trees blocked her vision.A young scholar welcomed them in the inside.
Irina was walking alone on the way to the library. She told Marthe to stay and wait for her at home, because she wanted her alone time without being followed.For the pass fourteen days she had to go on the training with Diaz by day and her father made her get up early before dawn to add more training about defense and practice it under his supervision.Every night she went straight to bed after she got home and cleaned herself. She even got used to have diner in the carriage on the way home with Diaz and the butler. Diaz also assigned to make sure she come bac
It was almost mid-day. The bell would be heard soon. Mrs. Letty walked in hurry with a rolled parchment in her hand. Since the truce had been settled, many scholars granted an access to the forbidden section by the Elder. As a librarian, it was her duty to assist them. It should be a busy time for both Lucas and her. But it turned out just her busy time. She didn’t see Lucas since he went out to pick up the books and parchments from the only school in town.She was back from assisting witch student before they started the noisy quarrel among them, and she found the things that should have been picked by Lucas were on his table. Oddly, he was nowhere in sight. She thought, he might be somewhere in her
At the same time, six hundred years in the future. Snow was everywhere. A line of blood tainted in the white yard. King Armand stood behind his advisor. He inspected the surrounding area watchfully, ready for the after attack, while his advisor half squatted on the thick snow observing the blood.They were in the front yard of the missing scholar’s house. It seemed the attackers didn’t know about their fellowship bonding, the bond that allows them to alert the other whenever they were in critical danger to death. They created the bond with the little number of remain scholar plus the king himself, there was no time and less of intellect resource to make an advance bond.
Irina walked fast. She wanted to leave the library as quickly as she can. Her feeling mixed between anger and disappointment. Mrs. Letty might not realize that her whisper to Lucas could be heard by her.“Irina… where are you going?” Diaz walked by her side. Confusing, all of the sudden she turned angry.She kept walking as like nobody tried to talk to her. Her feet automatically led her to the wood.They were walkin
