"Ah, here we go again. Wake up Serina, she's long gone. You witnessed everything yourself."
Arms crossed, stone-faced, Serina rolled her eyes at Felix's response. As someone who dislikes listening to nonsensical sentiments, it vexes her that she is the one being called out as irrational now.
The tones of their voices have risen above their levels of tolerance, and their tempers seem to be heating up as well.
"I am just stating a possibility, Felix. We of all creatures should understand how mysterious this world is."
"And I am merely stating a fact, darling. Please don't be mad at me. I am just. . worried. Believing such nonsense won't bring you anything good, you're just wasting your precious time, I am telling you."
Having observed the bad turning of their conversation, Felix did not

Earlier that day. . .Vacant times do not come often for the monarch custodian, not that she has much leisure activity to do though. Each day is a day for work, but surprisingly, she woke up with a clean desk and a note, inscribed:'I will have to attend a faculty meeting and stay late for Kiefer's training. Here is the order slip for the clothing you have ordered, Teacher. Please take this opportunity to stroll around the Capitol — for a change of pace.'The pleasant tinkling sound of chimes welcomed Serina as the boutique staff pulled the door for her. She was directed into a coffee table by the enormous windows and was greeted by a familiar face."Oh, Miss Meredith, it's a rare opportunity to see you around here. How's business going?"The middle-aged woman carries a furry feline on her arms, brushing its hair with her painted nails.Anyone could tell she is without a doubt, an aristocrat. Her blonde hair is neatly

Tristan was running aimlessly until a familiar golden dragonfly came into his face and guided his way. Heavily panting as he took a halt, he was at utter shock at the raging situation he was brought to witness.They were jumping off posts and roofs, they were so fast that he could only see their afterimages.From his place, he noticed that Serina does not hold any weapon nor wield a little amount of mana to counter his attacks and throw offenses. She only dodges them then move from place to place.Once she landed a meter near Tristan, and when her diagonal fall went against the wind, he caught of glimpse of her bare feet.Her stockings suffered some minor tatters, but the bottom of her feet were already naked, revealing the cuts and scratches it caught over the place.The unknown man is obviously giving his all, while Serina is only playing with along his aggressiveness.

"I am not one of them. . my Master was. It was a truth no one at present knows about.""Huh!?""The Witches all came to an agreement that no one shall meddle with the others' businesses. So she had to work behind the shadows and was able to steal their blessings at the cost of her life for breaking the pact. Then, all those. . were passed on to me."Tristan's chest started to get heavy, and his knees were at the verge of folding. It was not his exhaustion that is draining his strength this time. This obnoxious feeling he has towards her, that he thought had long since faded, is coming back to him.'My aunt? She's gentle and kind, believe me. There's nothing to be scared about!' he recalled Anne's voice out of the blue."To put it simply, I . . am the living vessel of the four Witches' blessings combined."***Love, Charity, Courage, Humility, Pledge,
Witch of the Throne Chapter 27 — Family
The past two days have been real tough for the seemingly hopeless fellow, Kiefer. Having himself defeated by the last minute of his match with the lady named Merloise, he could not feel less encouraged by the news of his possible reconsideration.However, the waiting period deprived him of his opportunity to rest at the midst of the Academia's holiday.With dark circles under his eyes and a ridiculously long face, he stared blankly on the bulletin board two meters away from the bench he is seated on. Much to his knowledge, the news on the Selection's final result must be posted on this notice wall.But the staffs sure are taking too long.This year marks his third and final take on the Selection as a participant, as mandated by the Council. Beyond this, he would have to give his hopes up and search for other professional career to proceed to.The uncertainty and the image of his dearest wo
Witch of the Throne Chapter 28 — Heresy and a Dark History
The late morning breeze caressed Tristan's skin with a slight touch of heat as he stroll down the garden's perimeter with Percy. Unlike the other fellow, the conclusion of his forenoon duties did not leave a mark of exhaustion in his face, well at least not today. He spent the night making up for the weeks he was away from his siblings, and slept the night together as they used to. Considering the depth of hell he had to go through for the past few weeks, anyone could tell he is at his best shape now. At the top of that, his mind seem to be at peace. He sighed upon inhaling a good amount of fresh and cold air. "Heard Thea and Johann's already at the Academia. Congratulations, dude, your siblings' are getting a step ahead of us now," Percy walked ahead of him, conveying his sincere words of felicitation. "All thanks to her," Tristan replied with a smile.
Witch of the Throne Chapter 29 — Opposing Sides
Thea, who has always been behaving as a timid and reserved child, seem to have found the place to bring about the joyful spirit in her. Hopping her way down the streets, the lovely girl has her eyes feasting on the million colours before her. Everything around charms her, as if they glow and shine just for her to see. After a countless store to store halt, the girl took an immediate turn into a flower shop, with her brothers behind her, simply following her lead. Her eyes were gleaming, mouth shaped like a circle, lacking the effort to suppress her awe. At first, she was hesitant to touch a petal she finds fascinating. But as her eyes meet the shopkeepers, earning a nod, her initial energy rose even more. "Brother! Would the Queen Regent like this?" Tristan turned and kneeled to examine the pot of white flowers with a yellow center she embraces in her little arms. "Daisies? Hmm. . I often see
Witch of the Throne Chapter 30 — A Death Case
With the consent of the Academia's mass-entitled 'Greatest Professor', Tristan was permitted to attend his siblings for the night. Shame to admit, he was quite disappointed that Thea was quick to fall into deep slumber just an hour after his arrival.On the positive side, he was glad she was showing a good sign of adjustment to her new environment.But looking at his brother, he sure had it tough than enjoyable."You seem worn out, Johann. Anything wrong?" Tristan asked, expressing his deep concern towards the miserable and visibly restless state of his younger brother.Johann's first day at the Academia surely did not proceed to his liking. Being completely unfamiliar of mystic arts in general, everything that was laid in front of him contributed nothing but confusion in his mind.Staring blankly at nowhere just a few seconds ago, Tristan's words kicked him off his pensive disposition."Everything is wrong!

Witch of the Throne Chapter 31 - The Midnight Carver
At a height comparable to that of the night's depth, Tristan's terror and distress reigns over his long history of being in a state of tranquility of choice. He has seen and became enslaved by the Lady's compelling power and dominance beforehand, yet the extremity of his fright this time is immeasureable - rather, boundless. It was all since that door, a few feet away from his face, opened for the first time since his forced arrival.
