Chapter 37: What a 'good morning'!
The weekend passed quietly just like that.As our visitor, my cousin Varhen and the second male lead Greyson, we accommodated them, giving them single room each and serving them as a guest.When they finally went to their respective rooms, I also went back to my room and seldom went out for fear that I might accidentally bumped into Greyson. I am doing my role now that my cousin and the second male lead finally appeared.They were one of the key characters in the novel and I don't wish to change even that.I can compromise on changing people's behaviours but not taking the spotlight away from them. I think that I had stolen enough. If I were a real thief, the police would search me and chase for me until the ends of the earth.During the time I was busy hiding away from Greyson, I seChapter 38: When you're stressed, eat chocolate "What are you doing early in the morning?" "Why, of course I am greeting my two friends good morning ah!" Rosine confidently said. Her eyes were twinkling as she looked dreamily at Jean. Saying that we are friends without changing expression, I felt like vomiting. Is she hearing that what she's saying now is utterly ridiculous? As I've said before, no kid who grew up from a wealthy people like me and Jean would casually befriend her. If that what she thinks is happening right now, it is called an impossible dream. After what she did to Heather in her last life, would I casually approach the one who killed her and make the most stupid thing to do – to befriend that same person who caused her death? I am still a sane person. I secretly rolled my eyes at her. She's trying so hard
Chapter 39: When you were restrictedFortunately, the pain subsided after an hour of hurting me. I don't even have the energy to go to the second floor to eat lunch. I feel like I was drained of all my energy today.'No, I need to study.'Tomorrow will be the start of General Examination Week so I need to prepare well. Though I know what will be the result, it doesn't hurt to learn a thing or two."Let's go and eat lunch.""I'm eating here today. You can go."Jean leaned towards me in an alarming quick speed. I leaned back when his face was so close towards me. He then smirked at me as if he's enjoying it.'Please refrain from doing things like this! I can't take it!'His brown hair falls down perfectly on his flawless face. I can't see any trace of pimple ever vis
Chapter 40: The AwakeningHer blonde hair was sprawled messily as she was lying down her bed peacefully, with her eyes tightly closed together. Her hands were on her stomach, weakly clasping each other. At times, her eyebrows would sometimes furrow and sweat will trickle down her forehead.She was sleeping peacefully but her skin was ghastly pale. Her family was swarming around her, wondering what happened to their beloved Heather. Even Jean was standing among them, waiting for the doctor to finish looking at Heather's state.After checking her pulse, the doctor shook his head and he had a terrified expression on his face. He tilted his head towards the Madam and Master with an unfathomable expression on his face.It's like he found something terrible. He quickly withdrew his hand checking Heather's pulse. His eyes were quivering in fear as he looked towards the people waiting
Chapter 41: I'm afraid The next day was the start of the General Examination Week. When I woke up, I was already in my room with an IV drip on my left arm. 'Hah, why did I faint when I used little power?' 『That's because you don't listen to me.』 〔Stop with the nagging. My head hurts.〕 『Ah right, I have both good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?』 〔They're the same. Tell me both.〕 『Then I will start with good news. You now have complete control over your power, congratulations.』 〔What about the bad news?〕 『Well, the whole family including Jean knows about it.』 〔What?!〕 My eyes widened when I heard that. 'They knew?' But how? I'm sure they aren't the type of people that can feel my powers. They aren't that high level with their
Chapter 42: Like you and I? Having power means status. Once a person awakened his powers, he will be able to climb the social ladder. However, there are things that will be considered as you awakened your own powers. One is how powerful your power is. Will your powers be able to defend yourself from a monster, or how many people can you take down using your power. There are cases that a power wielder can have more than one power but that is very rare. According to the books I've read, people who have more than one power can be a presidential bodyguard. It is the highest position a common person can dream of. As for people like us, wealthy families, to have more than one power is simply making our status higher than any other wealthy families. We will gain respect even from those families who regarded us as their enemies. As power is what makes this countr
Chapter 43: I fell...We finally finished the half of the test in half-day's time. My head is throbbing due to these tests.When the buzzer rang signaling our break, I took out the sandwich in my bag and started eating it. Thankfully, that annoying woman isn't here and bothering me.'Maybe she had another target.'She should change her target instead of me. My heart… is already taken by…."Haa~"I took out my phone and stared at Heather's phone number. Should I call her or not? It seems like we don't even have a topic to talk to.I stared at it for another minute before finally pushing the call button.'Will she answer or not?'I tapped my fingers on the window sill as I listen to the tone ringing on my ear. Then after a while, a
Chapter 44: They are for my fiancéeA week later, The Gold Day arrived again.'But I don't have a partner.'Heather was advised by the doctor to recuperate for two weeks before going back to school and going out.I don't even understand why the doctor would say that but I am sure it's for Heather.I never skipped one day to visit her. It became a routine that after my classes, I would hurriedly hopped in the car and go to their mansion.Not only that, I also brought some things that she might like. Just like right now."I brought you something. Guess what is it?""What is it?""It's something you like.""Uhm, chocolates?""No, I already brought you chocolate the other day."&nb
Chapter 45: Rosine Vista The big doors opened. There were five newly arrived esteemed guests when those doors opened. Standing side by side were Mr and Mrs Aczen with their arms linked. Behind them were the other three people. Greyson Smith wears his usual black suit, a white sleeve under, paired with a royal blue tie. And beside him was the Aczen’s nephew, Varhen Aczen wearing a blue suit and well ironed pants. The person standing beside him was wearing a same colored balloon gown as him, with flowers adorning her blonde hair. Reporters gaped at the scene. She was beautiful like an angel that came down from the heaven with her graceful smile drawn on her kind face. Their cameras shuttered endlessly at her beauty. Everyone on the venue tilted their heads at this new face that arrived at their party. They have confused looks on their face while also looked interested in what seems like an unfolding drama. “Sir Varh
Chapter 72: Brother and sister ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ It has been two days since Heather went out. There was no news about the Aczen family, and even the main house was blocked from any entry. For the past two days, many people wanted to talk to the head of the Aczen family, and even to the two elder sons. But the head only sent out a message that he would be out of touch for a week. No one knew what was happening. This was the first time it happened. After all, Mr. Aczen was known to be a workaholic. Inside his room, Jean was sorting his files as Morris' eldest son. Because his sister Priyaa didn't want to be involved in their family business, he had no choice but to do it himself. His parents were also expecting much from him. ‘The expedition test will be a month from now.’ The thought of having their expedition test as students made Jean a lot happier. It was said that the last test would be held at the forest on the border of the country. Just thinking about it is waking up all t
Chapter 71: What is this feeling? “So you mean to say, I have… rose power-wielding power? Me?” I was confused and pointed at myself. Dad just nodded his head with a worried expression on his face. If I have rose power-wielding, then shouldn’t they be happy? “Don’t you understand? Our family is in a riskier position. Not only are we hiding the fact you have already awakened, but the fact that you have two malignant powers inside your body.” There was a slight annoyance when Keab spoke. He took a sharp exhale before calming down and sat back down. When he spoke just now, he stood up as if he wanted to prove his point. They already told me the same thing last time. I put it on the back of my head, thinking nothing could happen more. Now that not only I have awakened, I even had two of the powers. As they said, my teleportation and rose-wielding power were dominant inside my body. That means I can use them both as I please without limitations. But that also means I have to be very
Chapter 70: Twice When I open my eyes again, I was back in my room. My body felt weak all over, but it wasn’t to the extent that I am crippled. It was as if I was hit by something very hard on my head. When mom saw that I opened my eyes, she rushed beside me and held my hand tightly. She was once again crying. “How many times would you faint and scare us like this….”“Mom… I’m fine now. You can stop crying.”“This was never the first time you had fainted! Ever since you met that lowly girl who dared to seduce your cousin, this happened to you once in a while. This has been the fourth time already!”“Calm down first.”Dad tapped mom’s shoulder and soothed her to calm down. I can see the gentleness in his eyes despite his cold expression. He also looked exhausted. Chlofloris told me that I am asleep for two days already. I’m sure they were all worried about me. But what is this body! Always fainting at the smallest thing! I bit my lip at the scene in front of me. Both mom and dad l
Chapter 69: Chlofloris“Hmm… not really. Dying is unnecessary. Well, unless you want to die to become this world’s hero, I won’t stop you.”“Huh…?”I was still in a daze. It’s like she can read what I was saying in my mind.“Have anyone told you? Anyone from the Aczen family – no, your mother’s family to be exact – is connected to me in some way? Maybe even now, your mother can sense that I am awake. After all, she is a powerful rose wielder.”“What do you mean…?”“Are you stup
Chapter 68: A Goddess, a Fairy - Who are you?When I opened my eyes, I was lying on the floor. It was neither ice cold nor blazing hot. If anything, the temperature was at its best and was even soothing my body. It was like I was under the water of the falls, where the water was massaging my sore muscles.When I looked around, I realized I was still in that room, but it now has some colors, though it was so light that it was blinding my eyes. I can make out flowers around me, but I’m sure they are small roses.I shook my head as I suddenly felt dizzy. The pain on my wrist was gone now, but the seal on my wrist was emitting more light than it ever did when I first got it.‘Why do I alway
Chapter 67: Here in this space‘Hmm… someone’s holding my hand… it’s cold….’I was surrounded by darkness when I came back to my senses. It wasn’t like this didn’t happen to me before. Oftentimes, I would get a what you call ‘spoiler’ from the novel. Other than that, I frequently met the original Heather whenever I fainted.This time however, there was only darkness surrounding me. I don’t know if I fainted but I sure I did. The questioning factor of that was why did I faint in the first place. If I think about it, I didn’t do anything to get over fatigued enough to faint. Hiking doesn’t require that much stamina, moreover, I had a lot of rest afterwards. So, why?
Chapter 66: Two Powers ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ ‘Haa, this is really tiring….’ I tried using my powers again after a long time of not using it. Instead of the feeling that I am finally progressing, I felt more exhausted than ever. ‘Was it because I went out with Jean earlier?’ Early in the morning, Jean came and pulled me out of bed to go with him hiking. Seriously, I was sleeping so fine earlier, and he had just barged in and woke me up. I was so angry at him that I scolded him from the time we went out of our mansion to the hiking area until we got back again. He was just laughing at
Chapter 65: Are you sure?“… You….”Words won’t get out of her mouth while she is frozen in place. It was a very short moment, but it felt like her world stopped spinning and all she could see was his glowing red eyes.It was a very brief moment and yet, what she had seen was clear. She even saw how a dangerous glint flashed his red eyes. Cold shivers ran down her back.She stared at Mir’s back. His hair was short and a luminous black, while his face was contoured with his sharp jaw and a pointed nose from his side view. If he tilted his head a little more, she would be able to see his face under his hood.
Chapter 64: Another dayThat night, Rosine couldn’t sleep peacefully. The anger she had felt rendered her sleepless. What more, the fact that Mir didn’t visit her for three days already was irking her. The reason was that she was losing her mind and didn’t know what to do.It was only at dawn that her eyelids feel heavy and she tried to sleep. At that moment when she almost succumbed into darkness, a pair of warm arms engulfed her into a tight hug.The warmth was familiar, so she let herself sleep, along with his sweet voice coaxing her to sleep.∘₊✧──────✧
