MasukRaymond hesitated but he didn't want to tell them that he indeed had seen it before. There was a restricted part of the royal palace that he had entered when he was younger. He had found old paintings there, paintings of the same white-haired woman and the same man who always stood beside her. He had never understood why the man looked so familiar, and he had never cared enough to investigate it, not until now.“Raymond?”He realized everyone was looking at him.“What?”Henry pointed at the carving. “You know something.”“I've seen the symbol before.”“Where?”“In the palace.”Vince frowned. “I've never seen it.”“Because it's in a restricted section.”Henry looked at him carefully. “And what else is in there?”Raymond didn't answer immediately.He didn't want to tell them about the paintings yet. Not until he knew what they meant.“Old records,” he said.Henry clearly knew he wasn't telling them everything, but he didn't push. Raymond touched the carving but othing happened. He frow
The stone wall moved slowly after Raymond’s blood touched it, and the sound of stone scraping against stone made everyone stop what they were doing. Raymond kept his eyes on the opening as it became wider, revealing the darkness behind it. His hand still stung from the cut, but he barely noticed it anymore. He was more interested in the fact that the ruins had opened for him after refusing to open when he came here alone.Vince was the first to speak. “So that worked?”Raymond looked at him. “Apparently.”“You cut your hand by accident, touched the wall, and the entire entrance opened. You know that's not normal, right?”“I know.”“Then maybe we should talk about that before you walk inside.”Raymond looked back at the entrance. “What exactly do you want me to talk about?”Vince opened his mouth, then glanced at Xavier as if expecting him to explain it better.Xavier sighed. “He's asking why the place reacted to your blood.”“I don't know.”Henry stepped closer to the entrance and loo
"And where do you think you're going now, Your Highness?" Brian asked him.Raymond looked at his friends standing outside his door and sighed. He already knew that they were going to make this difficult for him. He didn't have the patience to explain everything to them, especially when his mind was already filled with everything that Jason had told him about Vera."I told you, I have something important to do. I don't need any of you following me."Brian folded his arms. "And we told you that you're not going anywhere alone. You're going back to those woods, aren't you?"Raymond looked at him for a moment before looking away. There was no point lying to them because they already knew him too well."Yes, I'm going back there.""Why?" Brian asked immediately. "You already know what happened the last time we went there. You almost got yourself into serious danger, and now you're telling us that you're going back there again like nothing happened?""I'm not going there because I want to g
Raymond couldn't believe what he was listening to. After the conversation he had earlier with Jason, and he tried so many times to hear him talk about who Vera really was, but he refused to say anything about her identity, and he just showed him off. This feeling was biting deep in his heart. He didn't know how to explain it. He hated the one goddess for giving him this kind of life. Even though it was a good life on the surface, being worshiped by everyone and being feared by everyone, it was nothing good or what he wanted. The mom goddess made him into the moment he was born. He was supposed to oversee the entire realm and protect everyone, but no one cares about his safety. All he needs to do is to make sure that he was strong enough to fight anyone that was going to attack. He has to wake up very early everyday and go to bed late. He has never had a moment of rest until he came into the school. That was when he started to do whatever he wanted. Even so, he was still having to pro
The moon goddess wasn't exactly what she was expecting to hear about her own identity. She looked at her father like her lost it, but then realized that he was telling the truth because of everything that she already experienced before now."I know you are trying to comfort me, Dad, but you can't say something like that so simply," she said in disbelief.Jason shook his head. "You are not just a soul or reincarnation of the moon goddess. You are the real moon goddess, and you just don't remember it yet."This time, it was sure that her father wasn't just trying to comfort her but telling her the truth about herself, even if she didn't want to accept it. She didn't know what else to say as everything that she wanted to ask about herself vanished in an instant. Since her father was still in the truth, it was most likely that she wouldn't be able to hide it anymore, and now that she found out who she really was, she realized she was the same person that Raymond hated so much. The same on
"Dad, just promise me that you won't get mad at me and I'll tell you the truth about everything that happened." She said to her father. But he scoffed, "I know you already died once despite the protection I had for you. I decided to talk to that prince to stand up for you but you're not even willing to tell me the truth. What does that say about all my sacrifices?" Vera felt guilty listening to her father talk about his sacrifices and realized that she should question him or make him more angry. Telling him the truth was the best outcome for everyone. "Dad, I'm sorry. I just happened to walk up to him and his Friends pushing some students and ended up getting the heat for seeing something I wasn't supposed to see." She explained. "And then after that, he found out about me, we had some differences but thankfully, we were joined together by the bond so now he can't do anything to me."Jason stared at her without saying anything and this only made her feel more strange about the enti
“Vera! Vera!! Open your eyes!” A muffled voice which later became loud rang in her ears. She didn't want to stand up because this must be the afterlife or her dreams. But the voice kept bothering her and shaking her up. “What do you think you're doing Vera? You're going to be late for classes! Ge
Vera tried to compose herself as her hands were shaking. She stumbled upon something that she wasn't supposed to see even though she had heard it in the rumors. This was her first time of ever encountering something like this. It was her last year in this school and she needed to survive till the e
“Get him! Don't let him leave!” Those people chasing each other ran through the school again while the students weren't concerned. It wasn't the first time something like this was happening, they were used to things like this already. Vera watched this in the a corner as she was trying to study s
Vera already knew that even though she was trying her best to stay away from rumors, people would still come after her anyway. At this point she was already getting used to students staring at her everywhere she went.Whispers followed her constantly around the academy now. Some people looked at he
