Chapter 17

"This is pointless!" Alessia yelled into the empty training ground, her words echoing off the stone walls. She clenched her teeth and clutched the hilt of her sword tightly, staring at the tiny glow of her bright magic dancing around her hand. No matter how hard she tried, it refused to accept her directions and remained in its weakest form. It was as if the light insulted her efforts, taunting her for its slow growth. She swung her sword in frustration, the blade slicing through the night air with a harsh hiss. Her movements were accurate and well-practiced, yet they lacked the strength she desired. "Why can't I get stronger?" She whispered, her voice breaking as she lowered her blade. Although the sweat streaming from her brow irritated her eyes, she barely noticed it. She'd been practicing relentlessly for weeks. She spent hours studying literature, listening to her teachers, and practicing drills, but nothing seemed to change. Her luminous stayed constant, no matter how hard

Chapter 18

"Take quiet steps, Alessia. You've done this before," Alessia said to herself as she tightened the hood of her cloak to conceal her newly colored aqua-blue hair. The cool night air stroked past her face, but she paid no attention. Every breath she drew was heavy with anticipation. It was almost eleven o'clock, and the estate remained silent except for the occasional shuffle of the guards roaming the halls. Her motions were precise and deliberate, with each step gently resting on the marble floors. Her cloak billowed lightly as she moved through the dimly lighted corridors, her heart racing in her chest. She held the teleportation gadget hidden in the pocket of her cloak, her fingers brushing against the smooth surface for confidence. The goal was simple: depart unnoticed, use the device, and get to her destination before anyone realized she was gone. As she approached the rear gardens, her pace decreased. The memories of this location bore heavily on her. Her radiant light appe

Chapter 19

"I never thought I'd see you alive again, your highness," Aera stated, her voice shaking with devotion. Her fragile hands caressed Alessia's face, their touch warm yet unsteady. "Goddess Nova truly watches over you." Alessia felt a sense of shame as she peered into the old woman's teary eyes. Aera had always been a constant in her life, a modest source of consolation throughout her darkest moments. "I owe you more than you'll ever know, Aera," Alessia whispered gently, her voice full of sorrow. "I should've come back sooner." She told. "No," Aera replied, shaking her head. "You did what you had to. You survived. That's all I prayed for." Alessia took a hesitant breath, remembering how many times she had sought safety in this simple cottage. The first time she stumbled into Aera's arms was when she was just ten years old, bruised and shattered from another of her father's disciplinary actions. "Aera," Alessia whispered, scarcely audible. "Aera, you have done so much for me, even

Chapter 20

"You went out again last night, didn't you?" Duke Andro spoke sharply, his piercing eyes fixated on Alessia from across the breakfast table. Alessia bit her lip, preparing for the storm. She carefully put down her fork, her appetite fading beneath the weight of her uncle's judgment. "And not just that," he added, his tone becoming increasingly irritated. "You've brought someone back. I don't know this person. Alessia, what were you thinking?" "I wasn't being reckless," Alessia explained, her voice calm but forceful. "Aera is not just anyone. She is someone I trust. I've known someone since I was ten years old." Duke Andro narrowed his eyes. "Ten years old? You expect me to believe that your connection with her is strong enough to prevent her from betraying you? Will she not seize the chance to approach the Emperor right away?" Alessia tightened her fists beneath the table. "Aera is not like that. She served the Goddess Nova herself! If anyone can be trusted, it is her." Lean

Chapter 21

"You've been avoiding me, Raizel," Alessia murmured as she entered the garden. Raizel sat alone on a stone seat beneath the shadow of a towering oak tree. Her voice was quiet but full of determination. Raizel tensed at the sound of her words. He stood hastily, his customary stoic face fading. "I have duties to attend to," he murmured, averting her stare. "Stop," Alessia said firmly, stepping forward. Her voice softened as she said, "Please. I just want to talk." Raizel paused, his jaw hardening as he looked aside. "There's nothing to talk about." "That's not true,"Alessia said, moving in front of him to prevent his escape. Her vivid turquoise hair, which she had recently dyed to conceal her identity, glowed in the morning light. Alessia keeps on changing her hair color to avoid getting caught by the Endymion empire. "You have avoided me ever since Aera said... what she said. Raizel, I am not here to judge you. I want to understand." Raizel flinched, his hands tightening into

Chapter 22

"Are you sure about this, Alessia?" Raizel inquired, arms crossed as he leaned against a post in the training yard. His amber eyes were piercing but filled with anxiety. "Ten knights plus three of us. That is not an easy fight." Alessia adjusted the straps on her gauntlets, her dazzling, fiery red hair pulled back into a high ponytail. Her handmade knight's uniform fit tightly, allowing for both mobility and protection. She tightened the belt that held the Blade of Lumina, its hilt glittering faintly in the sunshine. "I have to do this," she said, her voice firm while her heart raced. She glanced at Raizel, responding to his gaze. "I won't always have the option of choosing my battles. If I can't manage this, I'm not prepared for what lies ahead." Raizel sighed and nodded. "You make a fair point. Just make sure your stubbornness doesn't lead to your demise." Sirena, standing nearby, chuckled. "She is too stubborn to die, Raizel. Furthermore, this is a controlled trial." Duke And

Chapter 23

"Cheers to Lady Alessia!" Sirena's voice boomed out above the happy chatter, her cup held high. "The one who survived our test and proved she's more than ready for the battlefield!" The knights gathered in the large dining hall let up a chorus of shouts. Alessia stood towards the head of the long wood table, her cheeks flushed—not from the wine in her hand, but from the overwhelming sense of community that surrounded her. She looked down at her black gown, simple yet exquisite, with silver embroidery outlining the hem and cuffs. It was designed for ease, with a high neckline and long sleeves, but it nonetheless exuded the subtle elegance of royal dress. A tiny pendant shimmered softly around her neck, a gift from her uncle, Duke Andro, who stood next to her. The Duke looked magnificent in a dark velvet tunic emblazoned with the Carrios Dukedom's silver emblem. His towering stature and severe expression softened only a little amid the warmth of the evening's festivities. The kni

Chapter 24

"You can't stay here, Alessia." Aera's voice was forceful, yet her expression was a mix of concern and eagerness. "It is not safe anymore. Endymion will come after you, and they will not hesitate to convert this dukedom into a war." Alessia sat stiffly in a plush chair in her uncle's large office. The warm sunlight streaming through the tall windows did little to relieve the weight in the air. She looked to Duke Andro, who was sitting behind his mahogany desk, his countenance unreadable. "And not just for you," Aera added. "They will pursue your uncle, his knights, and anybody they suspect of helping you. Their approaches are ruthless." Alessia's hands gripped the armrests of her chair. "I know," she muttered. "I've been thinking about it for a while. Staying here... is selfish. I can't bring everyone into my battles." "And it's not just about protecting them," Aera explained, her tone softening. "Alessia, you need to grow. Your brilliance and abilities are insufficient at this

Chapter 25

"You're telling me months of searching, and still nothing?" Priam's voice sounded harsh and threatening as it echoed across the great hall. His piercing red eyes, colder than the marble floors beneath him, stared into his two sons, Eryx and Olimpio. Eryx, tall and broad-shouldered, stood stiffly in a crimson tunic embroidered with the imperial insignia. Despite his noble bearing, his face revealed the strain that gripped him. Besides him, Olimpio, the younger of the two, nervously adjusted his sword belt, his thinner build and gentler features making him appear like a shadow in his brother's commanding presence. "Father," Eryx started, his tone calm but tinged with impatience, "we have been looking ceaselessly, but the marshlands, forests, and ruins have produced nothing. I still know she's dead. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Olimpio was also there. The knight struck her down." Priam's expression hardened. "Then why have you not brought me her body?" His voice was low and nas

Chapter 26

"Alessia, where exactly are we going?" Raizel asked, his tone frustrated and curious. He drew his dark brown cloak closer to his body as the cool morning air brushed against him. Alessia adjusted the hood of her own cloak, her now blue hair showing out slightly beneath its edges, thanks to the aqua luminous she had applied earlier. She looked back at Raizel, who was riding a powerful gray horse, and said calmly, "Pollux." Raizel gave forth a loud grunt and scratched his head. "Pollux? Do you realize how far it is? If we just travel on horseback, it may take us more than two months—if we don't have any problems!" Sirena stood beside them, silently observing Raizel's tone. Her dark cloak swung gently in the breeze as her black pony galloped beside Alessia's. Sirena's hair was tucked behind her hood, and her piercing green eyes scanned the surroundings. "I know," Alessia conceded, her voice firm, "but we don't have any other options. Pollux is my final destination, and I must get th
