Chapter 50: Give me yourself, I'll give you the world
The next day, the morning sun greeted the sleeping Rosine on her bed. The man, called Mir, was staring at her intensely – still wrapped with his black hood.
He gently shook her to wake up.
“Hey, you need to wake up, or you’ll be late. You still need to get Varhen.”
Rosine groaned as she rolled her body away from Mir. She opened her eyes and squinted at the rays of sunlight pouring from the window through the curtains. She slowly got up and stared at Mir.
She slowly approached him and tilted her head at him. Mir just sat there, unmoving.
“You know, we knew each other for a while already, but why aren’t you showing me your face?”
“You can… at the right time.”
“And when exactly is that?”
“After everything is at its original place.”
Chapter 51: I desire what's yours⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅It was already late than usual when I got to school. If it weren’t for my mother arguing with me early in the morning, I would’ve been able to get here earlier.‘Thankfully, Mir was with me.’When I was mindlessly walking in alleyway, Mir appeared out of nowhere holding a bag of clothes. I asked him to get me to the nearest place that I can change clothes and a room to stay for a night. My mother should allow me to come back by tomorrow.He also prepared a breakfast with me – or should I say he bought me a breakfast? Anyway, I was getting hungry that I shoved everything he brought to my mouth. Even though it was a simple egg a
Chapter 52: What a pain! I sat down at my seat as quietly as possible as to not incite their anger to turn towards me. The past few months, I tried my luck with Jean, but I have reaped nothing. Now that my target changed, maybe everything will go smoothly. ‘Varhen is really one nice guy.’ His only problem was that he was so trusting of people. I pity him. I shook my head as I took out my books. Anyway, everything will be mine eventually so what’s with a little sacrifice. It was such an honor for him to be used by me so he should be thankful instead. ‘Don’t worry, I will give you a fair reward.’ I smirked as I thought of the well-laid plan Mir has for me. I thought at first that I will regret ever taking his hand and getting into this much trouble, but it seems worth it. At least there was something that became valuable in this worthless life. ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ After the morning cla
Chapter 53: Hold it in! Baybayin? What’s that? I’m sure that’s one of those chants used for black magic. I stared at the bottle wondering what could that mean. ‘This won’t kill me, right?’ Hmm, this sweet drink tasted like a sweet poison. If this is a poison, then I should’ve felt something inside my stomach, but I only felt energetic. Well, there was always the ‘calm before the storm’. If Heather really wants to kill me, then she should’ve planned it from the beginning. When I first saw her, I thought that she was just some bratty rich heiress and I can bring her down with just one simple move. But instead, I was the one who was humiliated in the end. I sold my dignity already when I deliberately fell on the ground and cried out. I expected her to smack me with her bag or books or something like that – because wealthy people don’t like commoners like us touching them, even if it was t
Chapter 54: This is so tackyUhm, what’s with my hair? I know it is blonde and it was rare for a person like me who was a commoner. But, was it my fault? I mean, I am thankful that I have these and I shouldn’t be bullied for this.Instead, I should be listed to some rarest beings in this world. But since I have a low origin, those doors of opportunities wouldn’t open for me.‘Sigh, curse this life.’In any case, Kara started to show me around the mansion so my thoughts were abruptly cut off.The mansion was really huge. From where we started at the receiving area, it was only an eighth of the whole mansion. Kara told me that the dining room I was peeking was the dining room for the family and some close friends. So I shouldn’t peek in there.She told me that there was a separate room for other guests like me.“What about Sir Greyson Smith? I heard he
Chapter 55: You shall not…“What do you mean with this…?”I looked at Heather unbelieving at what she wants me to do.“Do you want me to be your…?”I asked her just to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming now or else I would want to wake up so bad.She nodded her head as she elegantly drink the juice on the table. It makes me angrier that I just couldn’t strangle her neck to kill her.She then slowly opened her mouth.“Since you so badly wanted to be with me everyday, sign that and you can live here 24/7.”“Be your maid?”“Why not? I will pay you much better than the café you are working now, just be my personal maid.”“Personal maid? Heather, this – ”“Don’t worry, everyone would not say anything about you being my personal maid. What do you think?”
Chapter 56: An inch closer⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅It was a pity but, Rosine easily accepted my terms. I thought she was gonna complain, but since I cut her off at every turn, it seemed like she doesn’t want to lose her angel-like image.I actually knew from the moment she was brought at the Gold Day Party as my cousin’s partner that she was finally on the move. I just don’t know if what I did was right.It was a decision made in a whim without any thoughts. I just thought that I’d better keep her around me for a better grasp of her true intentions. They say, ‘keep your enemy close’.Though this place to her might be a tiger’s den, it wasn’t exactly like that. Rather than that, this wo
Chapter 57: Realizations ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ I know it was very blind of me not to see Jean’s changes these past few months, and I also know how it was coward of me to push him away. I act like someone mighty and upright, saying to myself that I won’t feel this way towards Jean, but I know – I know that wasn’t the case anymore. When he almost kissed me earlier, I didn’t realize I was expecting him to kiss me. My conscience was always telling me that cannot, I should not – I must not. However, I know myself that feelings are something I simply cannot stop from growing. It doesn’t disappear rather, you were just denying the truth. Now I know, I definitely like Jean – the male lead of this world. Not just because he was the male lead and he was handsome, but because I was touched when he told me he was willing to protect me. Though I am hesitating to believe him for now, I think that can wait until the future. Since many th
Chapter 58: Only if he ‘is’∘₊✧──────✧₊∘‘Hmm, I should keep this to somewhere Rosine can’t think of.’I know Rosine has a bit curiosity flowing on her blood stream along with her nasty characteristics, so I am sure she will find a chance to get this as her evidence. By that time, I would lose the game with her.No, that can’t happen.[Why don’t you teleport it somewhere?]“Ah!”I didn’t think of that, but I should do that instead. I am thinking of putting this on my father’s drawer but I am afraid that he would kill me if he found out.‘What about my mother’s?’She obviously didn’t like Rosine and she will probably make things harder for her. Well, that’s not a bad idea either. On the other hand, I think that would work with me.So, I thought of a place I can put the contra
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.∘₊✧──────✧
