Chapter 10: What Did Just Happen?
SHE WONDERED what happened? How did everything turn out like this? It was an unexpected turn of events. Maybe she was unlucky. She shouldn't have felt so happy because of them when she knew that sadness might suddenly take over.
Their chosen day and time easily flew. She was already in front of Stoneheart University's golden gate while waiting for her dates.
Time check! It was a cold Saturday at one in the afternoon, the clouds were gray as if any moment it would make the sky cry heavily.
She just got there, maybe five minutes ago before their exact call time which was one-fifteen. Because of her nervousness, she kept standing while continuously walking around the grand waiting shed. Even when the place had a long chair for her to sit on, she couldn't sit still because she couldn't contain herself.
Until time gra
Chapter 11: A Guy Covered in BlackIT HAS been a while since she last saw the golden gate and the huge building in front of them. How long has it been after she left for the better? Somehow, it felt so long yet so short. It was as if everything just happened yesterday because she could still clearly remember every detail vividly."Hey, Luna! Don't tell us you're just going to reminisce all day?" Harriel said as he raised an eyebrow at her which she saw and caused her mind to return to reality."Luna..." Shiki called to her in a tone as if he would cry any moment.
Chapter 12: The Curse and the KeyUP UNTIL now, Luna is still having a hard time to believe that the grandmother she knew wasn't a grandmother at all, but a beautiful woman who seemed to be like her age.Now that her memories are coming altogether, the original look of her old grandmother is starting to look kind of familiar. If she wasn't mistaken, she saw it first the last time she went home?In a blink, her name also changed. However, she liked it better. Crostelia was too long and it sounded too girly for her now.Moving on, a man covered in black?She tried recalling her memory a lot of times but only one person popped out every time she fo
Chapter 13: Pleasurable and Embarrassing"OH! YOU'RE here again!" Shelaine exclaimed, shocked upon seeing the savior of Luna after coming out of the special room she made for her ex-granddaughter when their lengthy talk ended.Up until now, the guy is still wearing his weird outfit just that is why the woman’s shock was even greater upon seeing his black figure just after she closed the door of the room.The young man frowned at the new face that he saw. He had been going back and forth in that house for a few days already and the people he knew who lived there were only an old woman and a beautiful young lady. So, how come there are two teenage girls living in the house now?"Who are you and what are yo
Chapter 14: Who Else Aside from Me?PANTING, Luna let go of him first because of the sole reason that she cannot breathe anymore.While on the other hand, Konrad seemed like he wanted more because of the way his lips quickly followed her movement. However, she immediately dodged that and made him kiss only her left cheek. Then, he looked at her as if he was still in a trance while his cheeks were slightly painted red.Because of the look he was giving as if a predator to its prey, Luna's ears immediately turned red.When realization hit him, his whole body turned jelly that made him hide his face on the left side of her neck.Was that really Cro
Chapter 15: Too RiskyTHE GIRL was stunned at what she heard. Not that she is underestimating her ex-grandmother but was she serious?However, right after the strong declaration, Shelaine merrily ran towards an old, brown cabinet standing outside her room near the dining area.The girl followed her upon recovering from the amazement to see what the woman was doing. However, when she witnessed her back figure holding an old notebook, she stopped a few inches away from her. Then, she took a few steps sideward, only to be stunned by what she saw. Afterwards, she felt as if her muscles grew cold.What was her penmanship doing in a notebook that seemed so plain and out of date?
Chapter 16: Time to RipeSIX MONTHS easily passed by like a whirlwind in Verendus, it is now the thirteenth of November—her birthday! Yet still, she saw no signs of him—as if he never existed at all. As if he was just an illusion made by her wide imagination.It was her birthday but instead of celebrating, she is currently inside her room, sulking and crestfallen because of the blues she felt caused by the guy who confessed to her and suddenly disappeared.Her time flew easily while she was having a hell-like physical training with her aunt and thankfully, only a week was left until she would be able to finish it all.Since today was her today, she was free from tiredness caused by her training. Although they didn't totally celebrate it.They were having a break today since she had improved so fast and almost didn't need Shelaine's teaching anymore. A few more d
Chapter 17: I’ll Show You Who’s the BossSO, SHE did what was told to her by the book the moment she made it inside the Mountain of Life. But of course, she tried finding a safe place first for her meditation since she was alone there. Who knows what she might encounter if she let herself open and defenseless?On her way there, she found a small cave that looked unused—and that was what she chose to use for a while.Right now, she is currently sitting in a lotus position on the ground while trying her best to focus as hard as she could until she would hear nothing anymore and be drawn in the darkness that was mentioned by the diary owner.It took her a lot of time and patience that day but she still failed. How could she even meditate up to the point where she could no longer hear her surroundings?Because of her annoyance, she tried finding any info
Chapter 18: Contracting a Beast GUARDIAN beast, a beast in any level that got tamed and entered a blood contract with its master. Spirit beast, the lowest and weakest level of a guardian beast that anyone could try taking and succeed. Usually, their kinds were being used by hunters or mercenaries to practice on. Sacred beast, the stronger version of a spirit beast. If a normal person wanted to tame one, he would have a little hard time but if he was a little stronger, he'd probably succeed. Divine beast, a rare type of a beast that is hard to tame by a normal person. Their kinds were ferocious and stronger than the spirit beast and sacred beast but once tamed, they would only liste
Final Chapter: I Am Him“WHY CAN’T you speak?”“Did you swallow your tongue?”“Or is it that you are really not the princess?”Luna kept on taunting Estella who never managed to say a word as soon as she diverted the attention of everyone to her.Estella lowered her head as she tried covering her ears but the noises that came from everyone kept on going through her mind again and again as if a broken record that wouldn’t just stop.“Maybe she is really not the princess.”
Chapter 113: Lie Detection Array“IF YOU don’t want to believe my statement and Maximilian’s then you can try asking my cousin, Shelana Loraine Sanford yourself since she was the one who raised me again.”Then, inside the room, the woman and twins who were acting like a food server removed their silicone masks.“I wouldn’t say anything anymore so just watch everything from here.”Then, she took out a projection crystal and immediately showed everything that happened to their lives. From the point where their dead bodies were shown; Luna’s body disappearance, a baby mysteriously appearing and floating at a river; then Luna growing up, up to the point where Luna st
Chapter 112: This Face Is the Evidence“H-HUH? Maybe my eyes were just tricking me,” the princess said while stuttering with her eyes unfocused in one direction.How could it be!? How could it be!? What did the servant I commanded earlier do!? How could she fail like this!? The princess thought anxiously in her mind while fighting the urge to bite her nails and hurt herself by pulling her hair. If she does that, they will only be more suspicious of her.“Worry not, Your Highness. There’s no reason for you to apologize to me as I will not make this matter big. I don’t want to bother you although the issue probably reached the ears of the people outside by now—even the people of Phantom Chaos&m
Chapter 111: The Color of the Necklace“THIS… May I ask what is this, miss magician?”Luna smiled as she turned her gaze towards the direction of the “princess”, and then she chuckled.“A necklace,” Luna replied as her mischievous laugh turned to a sweet smile. As soon as she finished talking, the gasp that was heard earlier multiplied as the onlookers who were waiting for the scene to unfold, heard what Luna said and concluded—it was her, the thief of the night!The princess stood up from her seat and walked towards the table of Luna’s group with a face as if she was being bullied.“I’m sur
Chapter 110: Until It Was Luna’s TurnAND IT really happened. Just the day after the celebration, an invitation from the princess of Throndsen came to the guildhall. Everyone from the guild who managed to pass the current exam for mages were all specifically invited.This invitation caused an uproar and confusion to everyone but Luna already has an idea as to what might it become.In the end, everyone who passed the exam prepared clothes and accepted the invitation to the masquerade party as they had no choice—no one from them has the power to reject a royal invitation especially when all of them were just commoners. Well, except for Luna, but who knows about her origins? Only few knew about her birth and not the majority of the people.
Chapter 109: Luna Already Has a Boyfriend?!RIGHT now, they are already outside the coliseum as the awarding ceremony already ended.After the ceremony ended, Maximilian’s apprentices immediately went straight to the guild to share the good news of them finally getting their license while Luna and Konrad were left in front of the pathway of the coliseum.While walking slowly side by side, as if savoring the moment, Konrad said, “Did I surprise you?”“Of course. Who wouldn’t be surprised? You didn’t tell me anything about this even though you had so many chances to do so,” Luna said as she rolled her eyes that made Konrad chuckle.
Chapter 108: A Large Bouquet of Roses“BEFORE we officially start the main event of today’s closing ceremony, we would like to call for our last year's highest ranker and the first person who managed to snatch the overall highest ranking, Mr. Silvestre, to give us his welcome remarks! Mr. Silvestre, wherever you are seated, may we kindly ask for your presence in front?” the male host said politely.Luna, who was baffled because of what her lover just announced, immediately grabbed Konrad’s right wrist before he could even walk away from her.The guy didn’t resist and immediately stopped in his place before he looked back at Luna with a wide smile plastered on his lips.The latter was ta
Chapter 107: I’ll See You on the StageTHE THREE consecutive days ended in a blast and today is the day of the celebration ceremony. Finally, it is the time to reveal who belonged to the overall ranking and of course, to give the reward of their hard work; their licenses!On the same day, the previous high ranking mages who dominated the exam last year were called to give a speech and to hand out the licenses of the newly recognized mages.Today, all of the people who were announced to enter the top twenty are all sitting together at the center highest row of the audience’s seats while waiting for the start of the closing ceremony since that was what the facilitators instructed them to do.All the
Chapter 106: Change of Plans"SO, THIS is the famous Luna under Sir Maximilian's guidance? You look plain in person. What's so special about you?" the woman with an undercut red hair and a black piercing on the left side of her lower lip said in a mocking tone.Luna, who is in front of her, shrugged her shoulders and carefully put the strands of her hair—that were blocking her left eyes—behind her ears. Then, the maiden bashfully laughed as she glanced at her opponent."Oh? Am I famous? Well, thank you. But... Who are you and why do you talk to me as if we're close even when I only saw you today? Are we familiar with each other? Who are you?" Luna replied sweetly without being affected by her opponent’s sharp words tha
