Saying that Amaryah was speechless was an understatement. She and Lucian had a staring contest before a knock disrupted them. Amaryah jumped a little in surprise. "Lord Lucian, the food and medicine are here," Firal announced from outside. While Firal and a maid prepared their food on the table, the two were just quietly watching them. The maid was intimidated under their gaze, but Firal was only confused. Lucian was wearing a rare silly smile and the lady was in a trance. What is with this atmosphere? "You may think about the matter anytime. You need to eat for now," Lucian spoke, picking up a spoon to taste the soup. When Amaryah came to, there was only her and Lucian in the room. Once again, she suffered in another internal war. On the side were the witches who were secretly laughing at her. Of course, she knew what they were thinking since they currently share a single body. "Whatever happened to Lucian, really!" she exclaimed in her mind.

"My lady!" A servant came running to meet her once she entered Lucian's residence. It was the maid that had been helping her.Amaryah's gloomy aura instantly disappeared as she greeted the servant back by stuffing a handkerchief in her mouth."Why are you being loud? Yes, I am here," she scolded, chest still thumping from being caught off guard by the maid's voice.With muffled sounds, the little girl tried to answer, but Firal, who had heard the commotion, also came running to her with a sweaty face. He interrupted the maid and talked loudly as well, but Amaryah didn't have any more handkerchiefs with her. So she just scowled at him which Firal did not seem to see."My lady, where have you been? Please do not disappear without a word again! If the lord finds out about this—" He halted as Lucian appeared behind Amaryah."If you already know that there are consequences, keep a good eye on her next time," he coldly said as he passed by them. "R

Amaryah ate such a heavy dinner, and it worried Gana very much that she refused to go even after finishing all her duties. Firal, who stopped by for a little while to check on Amaryah's condition and whether she diligently took her medicine or not, also could not make her budge. She stubbornly stood by the side for more than an hour, scolding Amaryah every time the lady felt like falling to her bed. Gana only left after deciding that she had finally digested everything and that she would not have an upset stomach later.Amaryah thought that it was too troublesome, so she took a note of not eating more at night to save herself from her maid's concern.After another hour, it was almost midnight and nothing could be heard in the mountains anymore. Because of the silence, the sounds of the insects, night animals, and the waterfall were made clear. Amaryah summoned Seraph, and the witch spirit immediately materialized in front of her. She could finally continue without gett

"I challenge you to a duel." Gasps filled the hall as the young nobles and apprentices heard Yaron Clan's leader challenge someone to a duel. Some wore excited expressions and the others were simply shocked. The elders in particular were speechless. "The lord will duel with Lady Zavebe. Did I hear it right?" the youngest elder blurted out as he looked around with wide eyes. "Yes," Lucian answered. A quiet cheer erupted from the nobles. Lucian was a legend. He was a promising martial artist and elemental user in his teens. He ranked first in his generation during friendly competitions. Later, he was promoted to a clan leader at a very young age and he made history. Other than that, his name was also always mentioned during the cold clan wars ten years ago. It was said that the witch hid in the Mist Mountains and planned a lot of evil deeds, but he would always catch her and hinder her plans. Until the witch was exposed and executed…

Amaryah was once again eating like she was starved and Lucian could not help glancing at the maidservant behind her who was looking down on the floor. Gana felt his gaze, so she lowered her head even more, thinking, ‘I feed her five times a day with bowls and bowls of food, my lord! The lady's appetite should not be on me!’ The poor servant wanted nothing more now than to get swallowed by the earth or just completely disappear into thin air. Lucian finally realized the servant's silent wails and switched his gaze back to Amaryah who was doing an excellent job cleaning the plates. He felt that it was not polite to discuss things with her after seeing her lively appearance. After the waiter had served their table for the fourth time, Amaryah calmed down and started to see Lucian in front of her. "I want to stroll around later," she said while leisurely picking the meat out of the vegetable dishes. Lucian nodded. "Bring an attendant with you." Amaryah shook her head in protest, resp
