Chapter 39
The smell of cinnamon bread lingers in the air as it reaches Aesthelia's nostrils. When Aesthelia identified the bread, she almost immediately rose from the bed she was laying on.
That was one of her favorites. So she sat up straight, even though she hadn't flitted her eyes open.
"Cinnamon... bread," Aesthelia said in a high-pitched tone, but her words trailed off.
Aesthelia's heart almost dropped when she saw Gior sitting in front of her. Gior was comfortable sitting at the table located on the open balcony.
Gior sipped his drink while looking at Aesthelia's path. I was wondering if this was her sleeping habit.
"Cute," Gior mumbled.
Aesthelia immediately scanned herself. Aesthelia has been wondering why she is in bed right now when the last thing that she remembered was that they were on their way to the capital's market.
"What happened?" Aesthelia squinted her eyes at Gior's approach. Aesthelis didn't bother hiding

They were tip-toeing when a crowd of nobles appeared at the end of the hall. Gior quickly hugged Aesthelia's waist and jumped to hide."That was close," Aesthelia whispered.Aesthelia tried sneaking a peek at him, but the moment she did, she instantly regretted it because of how close they are.Aesthelia quickly diverted her eyes as she felt her cheeks, blushing a light pink. She just hopes that he won't notice it because it would be embarrassing for her."Good call," Aesthelia cleared her throat, wanting to compliment him on his quick reaction."I'm alerted since I'm with you. You're a trouble magnet. Have you forgotten that? " Gior said casually, and he added a smirk as Aesthelia's expression changed to a sour look.The both of them remained quiet as they waited for the nobles to pass by. The chattering and gossiping made Aesthelia itch, which she wasn't expecting from them. The novels are quite different in t

As some knights patrolled the area, Aesthelia hid among the bookshelves. She was confused because they hadn't encountered any knights earlier. The hallway was empty."What business do you have here?" Elliot, he said, with an authoritative voice.Elliot's eyes side-glance secretly to where Gior and Aesthelia are hiding right now.Gior stayed quiet beside Aesthelia. He is not moving an inch, so they will not make any noises, but if something happens that is out of their control, he will transform right away, even if it is forbidden to do so inside the empire. They don't know what trouble may come."We have just received an order from the crown prince," the knight said casually, as if it was an absolute order from above, to which even another prince couldn't object."The west wing isn't under his rule, isn't it?" Elliot whispered angrily. He does not like it, emphasizing the word "crown prince." The knight was either oblivious

After Aesthelia and Elliot's conversation, together with Gior, they secretly went out without anyone in the empire knowing, except for Elliot, who watched from afar. Aesthelia and Gior almost reached their destination. It's the place where the warriors and merchants stayed. The plan was to stay a day or two until the supplies were completed. The two finally arrived at the inn. It's a place where travelers and the like spend the night. It has rental rooms. The moment they opened the door into a huge connected room, the warriors, who looked worried, sighed after seeing the two, unharmed and together. "Where have you been?" The head merchant stated Asthelia's eyes roamed around, and she was greeted by their worried gazes. The two of them have gone for a couple of hours. Of course, that's enough time for those knights to overthink things. "An imperial subject interrupted us when we strolled down the market," Aesthelia said firm

After a moment of convincing and explaining things to Gior, though, Aesthelia wasn't sure if the information she knew was exactly what this world possessed. There are two types of magic stones. The first one would be the most common, the human-made magic stones. They're the stones that are blessed by the divine power for protection purposes. The priest and priestess were the ones who distributed them because they were the only ones who possessed and were gifted with divine powers, and the empire, of course, permitted the spread of the said divine-blessed magical stone. The Empire and the Cathedral have been working together for decades, since the first emperor founded the empire. The Cathedral has become its support. The second type of magic stone is rare. It was a natural-made magic stone. It happens when there's a natural mana tropical storm, when mana has been gathered in one place. The best way to contain it is with a stone. It's

The sound of water dripping from the water pipe outside seems to resound through the four corners of the store.Aesthelia silently sat as she had become unaware of her surroundings. The regret she has right now is that she should've finished the novel before sleeping. She ruffled her hair and sighed heavily."Stop," Gior mumbled as he reached out his hand to stop Aesthelia's doing. There was no point in doing that; it might only cause her a headache, and he's worried.The goblins were oblivious to the scheme the vampire involved them in. They did not want something like this to happen just because they wanted to live among humans. They do not know how they are going to make up for it."There's no time to waste. We have to get the supplies and travel back to the pack, "Aesthelia announced as she stood up abruptly, taking everyone by surprise."It's getting dark," Gior said."We must travel the moment the sun rises agai

Aesthelia couldn't keep up with the speed. It seems that the two fighters were going at it full force. "Not going to lie." a warrior said, gaping as he watched the fight and added, "The Alpha's amazing," Aesthelia stared harder and she saw how they exchanged attacks. Gior didn't let his guard down as he bit him, which made the vampire whimper in pain. The vampire's right arm was bleeding and nearly ripped off, but he managed to get away before it happened. It's true that Gior's skills are far from average. Aesthelia and Gior have been fighting for the title of strongest warrior for years. Aesthelia can't help but worry. The vampire gives off a different aura than the other scentless creatures. Aesthelia gulped when Russell looked her way and smirked, as if he had something up his sleeves. That's when Aesthelia noticed the silver. Aesthelia and the other wolves gasped when they saw Gior go flying to a large tree and ne

Aesthelia was taken aback by how murderous Merideth looked at her right now. Aesthelia turned around when she heard Gior hiss in pain. He was on the ground, but his eyes were focused on his beloved childhood friend, whom he had protected all this time.When Aesthelia saw the expression Gior had, an unknown throb of pain occurred in her heart. She wonders why.The warriors are also taking care of the newly turned vampires by fighting them off and distracting them. Growls, grunts, and the sound of harsh breathing can be heard from the background. Aesthelia almost closed her eyes when she heard a splash of blood. That only meant someone had already drawn blood."What are you doing outside the shield, Merideth?" Aesthelia asked as she took a step closer to Merideth."We clearly told everyone not to let anyone get out of their sight," Aesthelia added. Even if Merideth were bound to leave at this time, the other authorized people should stop those who are attem

Once everything has settled down, watch as the moon overtakes the night sky. The sounds of several owls from a distance can be heard. It's quiet since the warriors and merchants are sleeping at this time. Aesthelia watches how Gior's chest comes up and down. She waited for Gior's breathing to return to normal. He experienced a near-death situation, which he fortunately overcame. It seems the deity really does adore him this much. Aesthelia sighed, remembering some of Custos's words about how the world works. It took hours before Gior's health finally became stable. Aesthelia stood up and went in search of the illegitimate prince, who was in a hurry to say something. "Prince Elliot," Aesthelia called out to the prince and nodded, silently telling him it was time to talk. Aesthelia and Elliot decided to take a walk outside. Of course, she is still on alert if a vampire comes back. "What is it, Prince Elliot? What made you
