For the past hour that Sera had been seated in the corner, she had been trembling. She was having a hard time enduring all her rage, afraid that her impulsiveness would cost her everything that she planned for.She held the recording sphere in her hand tighter as she bit her lips. Another slave was standing atop the stage, trembling in fear as the greedy eyes of the people landed on her. She felt bad just sitting here and not doing anything when she knew that she had the power to do so. If her father didn’t refuse to take on this case, she wouldn’t even have to take the risk of going there.“This young lady was an illegitimate child from a noble family in the Lauren Kingdom. Though she was born and raised in the slums, her golden eyes are proof that she was from a noble lineage. How nice would it be to have a noble lady as your slave?” The host laughed evilly. His greedy eyes landed on the young lady and he looked at her from head to toe before

“You did what?” Xander was surprised when Sera came home with their father’s knights. He had been looking for her all day yesterday but she just went back that day and he was welcomed by a surprise that she had been investigating and that she raided the auction house from yesterday until this morning.“Papa allowed me this time, brother,” Sera said proudly. “I did my task in the name of Duke Fiore.”Xander let out a sigh of disbelief. His sister who was supposed to be preparing for her coming-of-age ball today raided a hide-out of a big criminal organization instead. Sometimes he was wondering if they raised her right or they pampered her too much?“So how did it go?” Xander asked as he raised his brow.He wanted to hear how Sera’s first mission went. Though she hasn’t officially debuted, she was already knighted when she turned sixteen so she was officially allowed to go on missions. They

"Lady Sera!" The princess waved her hand excitedly at her as soon as she saw her. "It's also nice to see you here, Lady Hailey.""It's my honor, Your Highness." Hailey bowed politely."You being so stiff around me reminded me of Lady Sera when we were younger." Eli laughed softly as she dragged the two to her table."The two of you seemed quite close, Your Highness," Hailey commented after they were all seated."Of course!" Eli said proudly. "The two of us were playmates and study mates. She is also my one and only friend!"Sera felt something warm tugged her heart after hearing Eli. She knew that she was her only friend knowing her picky personality. Somehow she felt lucky because the princess thought of her that way, but she was also annoyed sometimes because she was always in between her and her brother when they would always bicker about her."You can also be Princess Eli's friend, Lady Hailey." Sera smiled at the young lady who seemed t

“Lady Sera, is it true that you are going to learn magic from Lady Hailey?” Eli said as soon as Sera arrived in the palace. That day was meant for Eli and Sera’s history lessons under Countess Igor’s teachings.“Yes, Your Highness. She checked my mana aptitude during the ball and she told me that I’m capable of using magic with my mana.” Sera smiled excitedly.Though she was troubled by the gifts that the deity bestowed upon her, she was also excited to learn something different. She loved the sword but she thought that maybe she would grow stronger if she could wield both at the same time.A magic swordsman. Xander already introduced the idea to her when she was younger, but after the mana overflow when she was kidnapped, she wasn’t allowed to use more mana than she had to. She was also banned from using mana unless needed so she ended up not knowing about her magic abilities.She was aware that her family

"I heard that you broke through again?" Rupert asked in the middle of their spar.The clashing sounds of their swords were loud so Rupert had to yell for them to understand each other. Because of that, Rupert's words reached the ears of the other knights.They looked at their young lady with awe and admiration written on their faces. They watched her train and engraved her form and postures in their mind."Do you really have to announce it?" Sera blocked Rupert's sword and kicked him on the knee but the latter immediately stepped backward to dodge her."I'm just proud." Now it was Rupert who blocked Sera's sword. "You're so good, so why are you focusing on healing magic?"Sera rolled her eyes and stepped back. "I hurt people with my sword, so I'll heal people with my magic.""But you can be a magic swordsman if you want!" Rupert said with a regretful tone as he attacked Sera again."It's not like I pushed aside the idea, okay?" Sera l
