KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK. Valencia opened her eyes gently, confused to find herself in bed instead of on the couch. She looked around and saw Kael chatting with his butler, Jayce, by the door. Kael crossed his arms and leaned on the door as he turned to glance at Valencia. She flinched and straightened her back, chill running in her spine. “Okay… prepare the guest room for the royal guest then,” Kael ordered coldly and irritably. Jayce bowed and walked away as Kael closed the door. He headed to…-

Eldrich snapped his fingers, and they teleported to a dark room. Valencia looked around, fidgeting with her fingers against the carpet. “Where are we?” she asked, panting. A book flew and floated in front of Eldrich. The pages flipped without him touching. “We are at the Magic Tower…” he answered. Valencia clenched her fists before she stood. “How did you know about my powers?!” she asked, stomping one foot. Her brows knitted slightly. Eldrich whisked the book away as he stared at her.…

Kael stopped his hand from touching her and clenched his hand. His eyes twitched, and his face turned sour, retracting his hand. He sighed and nodded. “Don’t… harm yourself,” he begged softly, his brows creasing. He turned away and walked out of the bathroom. Valencia closed her hands and took a deep breath before falling to her knees. She stared at the palms of her hands, partially healed by Kael. Then she cupped her hands together and frowned. “Why does he worry for me?” she asked, her…

Valencia eventually rested on the bed while Kael slept in his study room. NEXT MORNING Valencia woke up and jumped out of bed instantly. She ran to the balcony. I can’t believe I actually passed out in his bed! “Where do you think you’re going?” Kael’s voice surprised her. She turned around, mortified. He smiled and walked to her. “I didn’t expect you to think of jumping out of the balcony.” Valencia tightly grabbed the rails, huffing. She looked down the balcony from the fourth floor…

Valencia spent the night in the room without a blanket. Her hands shook, sweat slicking her skin. Her breath came jagged as her fingers clenched. “No…” she muttered. Nausea churned. She opened her eyes. Her vision rippled like disturbed water. Panting, she scanned the room, then stared at her hands and pulled off her gloves. Scars lined her palms. Pain surged—as if something needed to be released. Too much. Overwhelming. She turned to her bag and rummaged through it in a panic. Then— A…

Lupis sighed heavily as she bit the corner of her lower lip. I can’t harm a noble, especially a Duke’s son, no less. But that… is the one thing Persai left behind for her only child. A muscle in her jaw ticked. She forced a smile and chuckled. “Really?” she asked. She realized that it was just the two of them. She swiftly leaned back, striking a punch toward Kael’s belly. Kael gasped as he tried to move. BAM. Kael’s body folded as he held his stomach, lowering his hand. Lupis smirked as…

The door opened, and Evie walked in. She stood on Valencia’s right side, frozen with shock. “Are you okay, Miss Elyane?” Evie asked worriedly. Valencia gasped as she darted her gaze to Evie. “Am… I done?” she questioned. Evie slowly nodded. “Yes… the result came out. I tried calling your name, but you didn’t answer. So I stepped out to see if you’re alright,” Evie explained. Valencia hurried out of position and bowed to Evie. “I’m sorry, Madam Evie. I’m not feeling too…

NEXT MORNING Valencia woke up on the cold floor, staggering to get up. She looked around, searching for any signs, and her jaw tightened. Her pale skin shone in the dark room as she stood and grabbed a new pair of clothes. Once she put on the clothes, she paused. “Everything is alright… just pretend that it’s alright…” she muttered. Then she turned firmly to grab a new coat. She folded it into her bag and headed to the Office of Affairs. Valencia stopped by a bakery shop to buy a slice of…

Kael stopped by a driveway, dismounting from the horse. Then he turned around, reaching his hand to Valencia. She swallowed a lump of anxiety as she stared at his hand. Kael’s lips curled as he locked eyes with her. “Miss Elyane, I’m not here to bring you any harm… please come down safely,” Kael said. Valencia clenched her fists, her brows furrowing. Mother said not to trust anyone… especially powerful nobles. Can I really trust you? Her fingernails pierced her palm through the gloves. Kael…

Valencia bit her lower lip and took a deep breath. “No, thank you,” she answered. Kael’s chin nearly hit the desk. He lost his balance in the chair, stood, and walked to her. “No?” “I would prefer not to associate with anyone, including you,” Valencia declared firmly, her eyes beaming with determination. Kael chuckled as he stared into her eyes—the green, flecked with purple stars. He smiled, baffled. “I… I didn’t expect you to reject it so quickly…” “Well, Young Duke, if…

Valencia nodded with affirmation. “I see…” William bowed and closed his eyes. “If Lord Kael does anything wrong to you, let me know. I’ll let the Duchess know, and she’ll lecture him!” he said with a cheer. Valencia’s eyes widened. “Why would he do anything wrong?” William bit his lower lip, looking left and right. He leaned closer and covered the side of his lip. “Because he could be a bit… crazy,” William whispered. She paused, baffled. She looked at him as he took a…

Valencia stared at Eldrich’s eyes and bit her lower lip. “Why? Why are you telling me this?” she asked. Eldrich took a deep sigh and averted his gaze. “If anything… I would prefer the only remaining thing of Eureon to live on…” he answered solemnly. She swallowed her guilt and nodded hesitantly. “I don’t have anywhere to go, though…” Eldrich jumped. He scrambled around his room, searching for… a bag! He smiled and quickly handed the bag to her. “This is all that I saved……

Valencia looked away as she crawled away from him. “Young Duke… I think there was a mistake—” “Heh… how could it be a mistake if you snuck into my room without anyone noticing it?” he asked. Then he hovered over her on the bed. She grabbed her clothes and covered her chest, locking eyes with him and blushing. “Miss Elyane, tell me… you rejected my proposal more than once… but now you’re in my bedroom. What does this mean?” Valencia bit her lower lip, gulping. This arrogant…

Valencia hurried home, panting as she slammed the door behind her. She glanced at her shoulder, listening to the outside world. Did anyone see her? Was someone following her? She shook her head. “No… no one will know. You said it, too, Mother… as long as I hide and contain it, nothing will happen. Breathe,” Valencia mumbled, placing her hand on her chest. She breathed, steadying herself. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale— BAM. BAM. BAM. “Is anyone home?” a voice shouted. Valencia’s eyes…

After Valencia disappeared from the site of the monster’s attack, the Headmaster and the Royal family searched for clues on who stopped it. Valencia attended classes regularly, despite knowing her final grade would be… an F-rank guide. As years went by and no secrets had answers, Valencia stood in the middle of the Academy’s campus, staring at every student who had just graduated. “Look, Mother!” a girl screamed happily, flapping her gown around. The two noble couples smiled and…
