“Did you intentionally interrupt our dance?”“Why would you think that?! I only came to give you food! Honestly, you’re such a sister lover!”Natalia froze upon hearing that. If it was the Sebastian of her past lives, then she woud’ve believed it. But if it was the Sebastian she knew now…“You’re just jealous that I’m closer to Natalia than you are. It’s okay. If you kneel and call me teacher, then I can teach you how to get closer to her.”“WHAT?! That is preposterous! I am already her sister, I don’t need to…”“PFFT! HAHAHAHA!” Natalia burst into laughter. She never thought she would hear something like that from Adelie’s mouth, especially since she spent the last two lives trying to kill her. “Why are you laughing?”“Oh, nothing. The both of you are just so adorable, I couldn’t help myself.”“W-What?! What do you mean Adorable?!”While the argued, the door opened again but this time, it was their mother. She heaved a sigh of relief and walked to where Sebastian was standing and sa

“Such a boring party. Maybe I should’ve stayed at home,” Fredrich complained.“I thought you were burdened with the endless paperwork at home and decided to come here. I told you that you didn’t have to come.”“How could I possibly miss the swarm of women trying to catch Sebastian’s attention and his scathing rebuttal whenever someone says anything bad about you and your sister? No, this is far too entertaining.”Natalia shook her head, her hands still moving nonstop to sow the pattern at the edge of the handkerchief. Fredrich observed her curiously, knowing she wasn’t the type to do this sort of thing. She was making it for Marvis, seeing as the letter M was sown in with blue thread. “I heard he has a wall where he hands these in his room.”“Have I really made that much?”“I imagine this is what you use the endless stores of fabric gifted to you from the Merchant Association for. Well, it is quite cute.”Natalia looked at him with disbelief. In two past lives, he couldn’t stand sitt

“Welcome to my humble home, Ambassador Natalia,” Duchess Everon bowed. Natalia didn’t know Vera became the Duchess at an early age but was glad to see a familiar face. The Everon estate was exactly like she remembered but it was still very grand. She responded to her greeting. “Since you have concluded many deals over the years with her majesty, she says there’s nothing to worry about in you buying land in the North. We will be joined by her highness later on but for now, I will be entertaining you.”“Then I will thank you in advance. You call your home humble but it is really grand. I have always admired the women of Polivia who have the freedom to do what they want with their lives.”“You’re the first person I have seem from another kingdom to have this kind of views. Most people tell me a woman should never conduct business or rule a nation but my kingdom has existed for a long time because of a woman and has outlived several kingdoms, including the original Berden Empire we used

They appeared in another cave which wasn't much different from the one they just left at first. But as they went deeper, it felt like their magic was being sucked away. They stopped halfway and started to investigate their surroundings. "I didn't find any magic circle or symbols etched in the walls." "I didn't find any either. There's nothing pointing to the existence of a man draining pattern.""That means whatever is draining our magic is deeper in the cave. Whatever it is, we have to be prepared to face it," Amaika said, starting to seal their magic. Marvis shook his head vigorously. "You're thinking of going further in?! No way! We're finding a way out of here and going back to Natalia. There is no way I am going deeper into the heart of a mysterious cave that drains even fairies of their magic.""Whatever is in there is drawing me. I cannot contain my curiosity. You can find the exit with Cheese if you wish.""There is no way we are separating from each other. What if somethin

Waking up the next morning, the three started looking around again for any trace of awry mana that would lead them to the center of the formation. Finding none, they proceeded, having no more time to waste. They covered a significant distance and seemingly reached the end by noon. There was another cave there. In fact, there was just a collection of caves where they were. It made Amaika finally realize something. “It’s a magical formation, yes, but the reason why we haven’t been able to find our way out of it is because we are most likely in a subdimension.”“So, we’re stuck in another dimension? Isn’t that just perfect?!”“Calm down, Marvis. If there is a way in, there is definitely a way out. If we keep moving forward, I am sure we will find the exit if we keep going in the direction we’re going.”“You have been saying that the ENTIRE time!”“Would you rather stay and be stuck here?”Marvis growled, baring his teeth at Amaika. The werephoenix was unmoved but it wasn’t because he co
