"Ah, Minnie, you're awake. I thought you were still asleep." Kristina gasped in surprise when she saw her daughter sitting on the bed while leaning her body against the tiger plushie. She looked so sulking that she couldn't help but worry."What's wrong?" She worriedly asked.Minerva's eyes jumped in bewilderment when she noticed that the door to the room she stayed in suddenly swung open. There she saw her mother, who had had an excited expression earlier, but now had changed into a worried one. Behind her was Santi, who looked perplexed as he looked at her.She immediately dashed in Minerva's direction and sat on the edge of her bed, gently grasping both of her cheeks as she scrutinized her from head to toe."Was there a problem?" She worriedly asked. Minerva pursed her lips and looked at Sora in her peripheral vision, who had now transformed into a puppy. She

"What's with the frown?"Minerva glanced in the direction of the voice and saw Zinnia, who was taking a walk with Serena. They both had their cute umbrellas that matched their outfits, which corresponded to the color of their jeweled eyes."It's nothing. Just Marcus being annoying again." She said. Serena scoffed, "Since when did Marcus not had been annoying? He truly lived up his name as Uncle Lorenzo's son.""Anyway, let's not talk about him anymore. Right, can I ask the two of you? How was the life at the academy?""Hmm. Minnie it'd be a bit long talk so how about we'd sit first?" Zinnia suggested. Minerva nodded her head.The three of them walked into the other side of the garden until they arrived at the pond. They turned into the left as they headed towards the pavilion that stood at the leftmost with white tulle curtains surrounded the

The day passed by, and Minerva celebrated her birthday a little differently than before, as this was the first time that her mother would celebrate her birthday. She could not describe how happy she was as she celebrated her fifteenth birthday with the important people around her."Were you happy?" Kristina asked Minerva as she combed her hair.Minerva nodded her head vehemently as her face shone with a smile. "Yes, mom! After all, this was the first time that you celebrated my birthday with me."Kristina smiled and continued to comb her hair. "Alright, then you should go and rest first. We'll just talk tomorrow, okay? I wanted to hear your stories. ""Yes, mom." Minerva beamed."Good night, baby." She said and planted a kiss on her hair."Good night to you, too, mom."Kristina smiled and went outside her room. As soon as she left, the smile

A person had a different future ahead of them. It was only a matter of the choices that they made on which of the futures they had to end up with. Sora could see the potential futures of different people. However, it did not apply to everyone. There were beings that he was unable to see the future of. Other than the Great Sovereign, there was only one person in the world that could see the future of everybody–even the beings that Sora was restricted to. He was known as Malachi.And this very Malachi was the one that Minerva had to find if she wanted to know the cure for her mother.Whichever choices Minerva made, it all came down to her meeting Malachi. However, the problem that she had to face more difficult obstacle if Santi interfered and refused to follow the much easier path for her.Sora didn't have any ill will against Minerva. He watched her grow up from a

"It seemed that you had to fall in line." Sora said as he looked at the crowd of people in front of them."Yeah, I know," Minerva nodded her head. As soon as she got closer, she looked around the line."Now, where should I line?" She made a muttered remark.Thankfully, there was a man who seemed in his early twenties who stepped up and assisted her."Your Highness, you could fall in line wherever you want." He carefully said. Minerva subtly observed the young man who looked nervous. His clothes were the same as those of the youths who hung out with the proctors in front. She guessed that they were the students that were funded by the academy."I see. Thank you. " Minerva smiled at the young man, which made him startled. He looked like he was in a daze before his face started to heat up."A-ah, um... Y-you're welcome, Y-Your Highness... " He muttered
