On a serious note, Minerva didn't have any idea how and why the Pope was too polite with her father. And why would the Church of Larin didn't mind it?
Furthermore, her father would even call the Goddess of Larin by her name only which made her believers furious. That was what Shirley told her.
Seriously, she was too curious about her father! She was always with him yet there were still a lot of things that she didn't know about him.
Who was Harika? Why would its name 'Sora' shouldn't be known to anyone? Minerva had read tons of books already yet she still could not find anything related to Sora.
"Hey, Minnie, you were spacing out again."
Minerva snapped back from her thought when she heard her Uncle Khalil called her. She flushed a little when she found that everyone's eyes were on her as she spaced out.
"Your uncle just asked if you wanted to rest first?" Aun
"She was such an intelligent child," Khalil said as he stared at Minerva's back.Santi crossed his arms and arched his left brow, "Of course, she would be. She's my daughter after all."Khalil scoffed, "She's also Kristina's child.""I know. That's why our daughter was this adorable and intelligent. The two of us had the greatest genes after all. Unlike someone. If not for his wife's genes, his sons could've suffered. His wife carried his bloodline.""You little piece of shit. You knew my sister's genes were the best yet you insulted me?""Of course! You know, up until now, I didn't know how you were Zariah's twin. I mean, you were ugly as hell."Khalil scoffed but didn't say anything. After a minute or two, he glanced to his right with his peripheral vision and smirked."He's gone?""Yeah."Santi narrowed his ey
Santi watched the whole debacle in front of him. When Sora appeared on its fog form that was only visible in Countess Vergara's eyes, he ordered it to spare her life.After all, only his daughter had the fun to avenge her hatred. What about him? He had been on the lookout for the Countess for a long time. He was just waiting for a time to strike back. He promised Zariah that he wouldn't do anything to the Countess.But now, Zariah and the Countess no longer owe each other. And the Countess intentionally brought herself with him. Wouldn't it be a waste to let this matter go?Minerva, Kendrick, and Giovanni had left after the Countess collapsed while Santi remained. He opened his palm and a moonstone appeared. He smirked as he caressed the moonstone and watched the contents. It was what happened earlier on how the Countess insulted Zariah and him.Frankly, Santi cared less about this matter. He co
Even if Timothy managed to clear his name after this, the damage was already done and doubt had sprouted on their minds. This disturbance may be small, but at least the masses wouldn't forget that this happened.And this was enough for Santi."Well, at the very least, I helped Adira on this one." He said as he munched the apple on his right while his left hand played with Zariah's hair.He was currently in the palace in the inner world inside Sora. This was the place where he decided to put Zariah so he could be at peace. After all, there had been a lot of scums that tried to invade his forbidden place. Therefore, as soon as he was able to use the inner world inside Sora, he immediately moved Zariah there. His daughter didn't know any of these yet. She only knew that her mother was still in the forbidden area on their estate. She didn't know that when she got inside the forbidden area, she was transported by Sora to th
It took a full five days before Minerva recovered. For those days, she only stayed bedridden due to her father and Uncle Khalil's nagging. Therefore, she was stuck inside the guestroom for five days until she was bored to death.It was a good thing that on the sixth day, she was finally allowed to go outside.Minerva heaved a sigh as she closed her eyes and let the wind blew her hair."It seemed that Minnie truly liked this boat ride."She opened her eyes and glanced at her Aunt Leticia who was in front of her. They were both the only ones who were in the boat as they wandered around.Last time, she was unable to visit the lake that her Brother Kendrick mentioned that her mother liked. But now, to Minerva's surprise, her Aunt Leticia personally came into her to invite her for a boat ride."So, how were you feeling?""I'm fine now." She answered whi
"Your Majesty! Err…"Minerva glanced at the familiar attendant who came inside the study after three successive knocks. He looked like he was in a hurry and looked bothered."What was it?" Her Uncle Khalil asked after he fed her a spoonful of avocado with milk.The attendant bowed and greeted everyone in the room before he answered."Your Majesty, His Highness Lincoln was back. And… it seemed that he was arguing with Lady Brigitte Montmorency.""Huh?" Brother Kendrick uttered in surprise. "Lincoln was already back? Didn't he was supposed to be in the South for half a year? It hasn't been a month yet."He continued, "Besides, it should take him three days before he'd arrive in the Imperial Capital. But Imperial Father wasn't two days ago, Lady Brigitte reported about the current situation in their station?"Uncle Khalil knitted his brows. But before he could say anything, the door was suddenly blasted open. Minerva
"Seriously, Lincoln screwed this up." Her father said as he carried her in his arms.They left her Uncle Khalil's study as he had a lot of things to do. Especially on what Lincoln did. There were a lot of things that both Uncle Khalil and Brother Kendrick had to clean up."Lincoln was often mischievous. However, what he did was too careless. If he wanted to return, why did he have to bring Brigitte along? She was the commander and the head of the team. What would the knights think if their Imperial Prince and Commander were suddenly gone?"Minerva was silent as she listened to her father. She understood that they were upset about Lincoln's actions. After all, countless lives were at stake here. And yet, Lincoln left his post as if the lives of the citizens and the knight's sanity weren't special."He even dreamt to be part of the Church of Larin? Nah, impossible. With his behavior, his chances to become a part of the Church of Larin was nil.""What
In the end, Minerva left with her father with only a bear in her arms. Although she felt flattered that her father was willing to buy the entire store for her, she still refused. Aside from the fact that she wouldn't be able to play with those toys, they were just a guest here in the Toen. Wouldn't it be a bother to her Uncle Khalil if they brought those toys to the Palace?She didn't want to become a burden to them. After all, her Uncle Khalil had a lot of things on his plate already. With the addition of the problem that Lincoln gave upon his return, Minerva understood clearly that her Uncle Khalil might be on his hot seat right now as he tried to stabilize the situation in the South.Still, she knew that her Uncle Khalil could solve this smoothly. After all, he was Toen's monarch for two centuries. He had already experienced multiple crises during his term. Surely, this wasn't the worst that he had handled, right? He might need to plan thoroughly as countless lives
"It would be a good thing if you become fat. After all, you were too thin no matter how I fed you."Minerva pouted her lips as she glared at her father. What did he mean that she was too thin? To tell the truth, she was chubby that her Uncle Lorenzo wouldn't stop teasing her! He would even occasionally pinch her chubby arms and belly! But in her father's eyes, she was too thin? What would happen to her if she was chubby in her father's eyes?As she continued to glare unhappily at her father, the latter just laughed at her reaction and kissed her cheek."Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore." He conceded.However, Minerva didn't believe her father at all. She glared at him suspiciously even if he tried to coax her.How could she believe him so easily? He was friends with Uncle Lorenzo after all! Both of them knew how to talk smoothly but deep inside? Nevermind.When her father saw that she looked unconvinced, he just laughed it off and
