Chapter XII   Fear   A lamp gave light in a dark and dusty room but its light did not reach a corner where Felix was ​​standing. In that corner, he was holding a gold necklace tightly.He saw the necklace at that corner of the room. Earlier, he and Renata returned to their home in Rajanseth. As expected, it was dilapidated and dusty, but there were parts of the house that remained as solid as the room where Felix was. He did not expect that he would see the necklace in their room. Velo always wears it because Felix gave it to her to express how much he loves his beloved. He kissed the necklace and tried not to cry. He brought it close to his chest while holding it tightly. He took a deep breath and turned around to get out of the room. Broken appliances and a door leaning against the wall were the first tocame in his sight. He pic

Chapter XIV   Deceptive Paradise   There were enormous buildings in their sight. Those buildings were tall and sturdy. Most of the buildings they were seeing were made of stone but not far away, the tallest building was made of lustrous glass. Revi and Felix’s jaws dropped as they saw the world outside the island. This is very different from Atolon. Not only in the buildings but also in the clothes of the people here. Revi beamed. “This. . . is the world I saw in my dreams! ” She gazed at her father. “Father, the outside world! We’re here in the outside world! ” The young and fragile Renata was ecstatic as she looked around. For a moment, the sins of Madreign’s people on her island disappeared from her mind.

She temporarily let Felix in her home to make him rest after a long journey while Renata and Yner were outside, playing in the hammock. She sighed and sat down in front of Felix. “I'm sorry that our house is messy.” She chuckled. Felix nodded. “It’s fine,” he said, “by the way, how far is the house to the city?” “It’s pretty far. Probably it’ll take 30 minutes or more to arrive in the city if you’ll just use your feet in transportation.” She took a sip from her coffee. Felix nodded. “A horse will be enough to arrive earlier, ri

Chapter XVIII     The Wind and the Art   Months passed after the Vigliancos landed their feet to the lands of Madreign, they found it hard to adjust themselves in this new environment. They were so lucky that the Louises were their only neighbor. This made their atmosphere much easier than expected. However, they often needed to go to the city to make money and to buy goods for their living. Aside from documenting everything they witnessed in Madreign, they were also taking care of their horses. The ship’s crew landed their horses somewhere else near Madreign’s pier where no Madreese can witness them, to avoid suspicion. Felix also enrolled Renata into a school, and because they were pretending that they came from Delural, they bought a wig to change their hair color.   ~*~   “Five more minutes,” Renata’s writing teacher

Chapter XX     The Lore Behind the Painting   Renata was wearing a white long sleeved polo and black suspenders when she was waiting for Rory to come. She was silently standing straight in front of the gate. After a few more minutes, Rory finally came. Unexpectedly, Rory came with Naya and someone unfamiliar. Renata was dumbfounded because of that.

You will surely enjoy their company."   "Haa~" Revi gave them a slack-jawed
