It was already night time and the others rested in their own rooms, but Dio was nowhere to be found. It had been a few hours after the members of the elite class swarmed around Mika and no one knew where he suddenly disappeared to. Because of Dio’s strange actions lately, Kael advised them to leave him alone.Though he was the one who said to give Dio his space, Kael was worried that Dio became paranoid being around a member of the imperial family and the nobility. Though he wasn’t aware of the reason, he didn’t want Dio to force himself. If staying alone in a quiet place would calm his mind, he would do his best to support him.Keila left her room because she was worried about him. Dio had been acting strangely lately and she wasn’t sure whether he finally came to terms with himself or not. He might be alone in the dark again.“What are you doing here?” Kael asked when he saw Keila seated in the receiving area.“

“Being able to do both doesn’t mean that you’re strong, right?” Sean von Wyeth said with a smug look on his face. “Keila was known to be the strongest wind mage, Kael is a swordmaster and Mikaella is a gifted enchanter. How about you, how did you qualify to be in the elite class?”Dio sighed. He knew that his being accepted in the elite class was the main reason for their hostility towards him and they kept questioning his abilities even if they already saw how he was on par with the others.“I guess people like you wouldn’t accept the truth no matter how I show it to you,” he mumbled.“What did you say?” Sean raised his voice when he heard him whisper. “Do you really think that you’re strong? You don’t deserve to be a part of the elite class!”Dio looked behind him where their professor stood and he let out an exasperated sigh when he saw his smirking face. A profes

“Are you all right?” Cassiel asked in a worried tone. She left their classroom right after dismissal because Kael said that Dio went back to their house.However, the Dio who was supposed to be not feeling well chuckled when he saw her worried eyes. Dio comfortably sat on the couch while Blur was on his lap.“I just thought that I should rest after working hard, your highness.”Cassiel shook her head in disappointment. She was somehow relieved but also annoyed that she worried for nothing.“Are you worried because you thought I wouldn’t be able to escort you to the ball, your highness?” Dio asked, but his smile implied that he was just teasing her.“Don’t worry, I know you are healthy enough to attend the ball with me.” Cassiel let out a smile as she sat across from him.“Master, that girl is also a fairy!” Dio froze for a moment when he heard the elemental’s voice

Dio immediately pulled the curtain on the window and covered his back. He couldn’t hide how he trembled when he realized that prince Andriel saw his back. Of all people, how could he be so reckless and let an imperial family member see his secret crest? He looked down, biting his lips, as he thought of a way to make him forget about what he saw. Was there some kind of spell to erase memories? “Answer me!” Andriel shook his shoulder but he kept his head down. If he answered the Prince, he would tell him his secret that he kept hidden for the past eleven years. He wanted to keep the secret buried until his death but that would be impossible because a prince saw his crest. He would never let it go for sure. “Tell me, are you my illegitimate sibling?” Andriel’s hold on him loosen and he slowly dropped to the ground knee first. “Were you hidden by his majesty so that the thing that happened to Crown Prince Amiel wouldn’t happen to you? Or was it because yo

The two stopped in the middle of the forest. At first look, one would see that the place was just surrounded by trees and nothing was out of place. However, there was a magic barrier and illusion magic cast on the place so that no one would see the hidden community of the Faerie tribe. At first, they were just a bunch of outcasts and misfits taken in by a small family of Faerie descent. The head of the family was a half-faerie and he was cast out for his dark skin, sharp ears, and black eyes. Though half-human, he was treated worse than a monster so he started living in the middle of the dark forest near the academy. After a few generations, their community grew in number and the children of the family married the humans living with them. They started to call their community the Faerie tribe since most of them carried Faerie blood. Since the Faerie blood wasn’t as concentrated as it was before, their chosen leader would be the one who inherited a Faerie’s characteris
