Chapter Sixty One
We all stared helplessly at the dragon that's destroying the capital until I saw it stop in its tracks and I noticed that it was stopped by a magic barrier, the barrier that I was discussing with Xander.  Really? You're showing up now?  "That's Xander, Let's go!" Head Magus said. Head Magus finally arrived. I mean he's old so it's understandable but what is not understandable is him asking me to go to Xander. I don't want to see him now, especially since I don't know what Greg told him when I left. I know it's not time for personal feelings but I'm human. Head Magus grabbed my arm and dragged me to where Xander was when he noticed I didn't move. I took away my arm half way because I don't want to be seen as a petulant child. I must say the barrier's holding well. Way longer than the barrier I used a whi

Chapter Sixty Two
Damn, did I hit my head or something? Why does it hurt so much? You know what, it's not just my head, every fiber of my body hurts. I need painkillers, please! Anyone? "How many days has it been? Is Audrey really alright?" I heard Tille talk to someone. "She has overused her magic. She drained her mana dry, like if I'm going to compare her magic status to something. It's like a land that was hit by a drought." Healer Jan explained. "Is there anything we can do to help her?" Tille asked. Yes! Give me painkillers! Damn it, mouth move! I can't move my body. I'm feeling drowsy again. You know what, I'll sleep and pray that when I wake up again, I'm not in pain anymore. The next time I wake up or regain my consciousness, my b

Chapter Sixty Three
Divorce? She's getting divorce? And he's helping her? Really? That fast? I was only asleep for 6 days and they're already preparing for their happy ever after?  "Lady Julia was…" Healer Jan tried to continue but I stopped him saying my head hurts and I wanted to sleep. Both of them let me rest and left me alone. What should I do now? I guess I don't really need to marry a man to inherit the Ducal house of Garrick. If I asked for the title now, His Majesty would probably give it to me. Right. After all, I only need Xander to get the title. Yes, to get the title.  It's unfair. I wish he just told me he's not interested and didn't show all those vague actions. He shouldn't have made me think that he was actually fine with it.  I let myself cry for this he

Chapter Sixty Four
I am still in shock and bewildered why I'm receiving such a high standing reward. I looked at Lis to see what this is about but she doesn't look happy so I figured that there is something more about this. I thanked His Majesty for the award after all, it's not like I can not take it. I smiled and bowed and gladly accepted the award. Afterwards, I mingled like how I'm supposed to. When I got tired of faking my smiles and my cheeks hurt already, I tried to search for a place to be alone. I'm tired, no, not tired, I'm exhausted. I think wearing stilettos wasn't a great idea. I wish there were rubber shoes here. Maybe I should create one, ah, but where would I get rubber? From a rubber tree? Wait, I think there really is a rubber tree, right? I just don't know what it looks like. Well, let's hope someone discovers it soon. "Lady Audrey, can I join you?" Lady Juli

Chapter Sixty Five
"What do you mean?" Adekin asked. "Did you find anything?" Xavier asked, surprised. "Yes. Our informant was pretty credible. He said that the reason why the dragon attacked us was because the Crown Prince together with some other nobles during the fall hunt the other year stole a portion of the dragon's hoard." Wyl reported. "What did you say? What did that stupid prince do?" I exclaimed angrily. "Audrey, calm down. You're scaring Wyl." Tille said calmly and gave me some tea. "Remember that fall hunt where we almost died?" Wyl asked and we all nodded. "There was a rumor that it was a dragon, right? Well, it was. Anthon said that Prince Stefan had some credible information th

Chapter Sixty Six
Lady Julia and Xander explained the new barrier and since I have nothing better to do I listen to it attentively. Their idea was actually really amazing and informative. I have to say Lady Julia was really great when it comes to magic. After they finished the discussion, I waited for Lady Julia and Xander to leave the room so I could talk to Head Magus. "Xander, are you coming?" Lady Julia asked when she stood up and realized that Xander was not following him. "You go ahead first, I have something to discuss with the Head Magus and Lady Audrey." He said and Lady Julia was left with no choice but to leave. I honestly would prefer if Xander just left with Lady Julia. I don't want to talk to him. "So tell me, why are you av

Chapter Sixty Seven
"Hey, you were looking for me?" I asked when I came out of the room and saw Xander sitting in one of the chairs. "Yes. You said I never tried to find you so I've come to find you." He replied and I smiled. "I'm sorry for shouting at you and avoiding you." I told him honestly. "Let's walk outside. It seems like Greg wants to go home now." Xander said and I agreed. We walked around the port area. "Why are you avoiding me?" He asked. Now, how to answer that.  "I am not exactly avoiding you. I was really busy with all the happenings the week before so I don't really understand how you can say I'm avoiding you. Is it because I w

Chapter Sixty Eight
"Saintess Audrey von Garrick, we would like to plead with you to please save this country and kill the dragon." His Majesty pleaded and all the other nobles followed his plea. This day finally came. I received the request to enter the palace yesterday for a meeting with all the high ranking nobles together with Head Magus Dithran, Xander, and Lady Julia as representatives of the Tower of Magi. Xavier and Lis had given me the heads up about this meeting a few days ago. I have been locking up in the laboratory with Xander trying to create an offensive spell that could defeat the dragon. We came up with a few of them but there is no dragon to test it on so we don't really know how effective it could be. Xavier had been busy with his duties, he was still doing all the tasks that Stefan should have been doing with Lis

Chapter Sixty Nine
See now everyone, this is how a crown prince should be. Look, Your Majesty, this is how your next in line should act, not some coward who only knows how to push responsibilities to other people."Are you sure, Xavier?" His Majesty asked worriedly."Why are you asking that? He already volunteered. He can't take it back." The queen said in panic.His Majesty looked at the queen and Stefan with so much disappointment but those two didn't care and continued to push Xavier to go."I will go father. Lady Audrey is a good friend that has helped me a lot. This time I want to repay that gratitude by assisting her." He said resolutely."Alright, Prince Xavier would join Saintess Audrey to subjugate the dragon." His Majesty announced.

Chapter Seventy
This day had finally arrived. The day I'm standing outside the dragon lair in the northern forest to kill the dragon. I still can't believe I'm doing this. Can you believe I'm doing this? I'm pretty sure my original aim was to survive and get married and live happily ever after but now, not only am I not getting married, I am going to kill a dragon or get killed by the dragon. Wow. Great. I want to run away. "Are you ready?" Xander whispered beside. "If I tell you I want to run to the other side of the world, would you stop me?" I whispered back. "No, I'll join you. Shall we?" Xander asked. Even Xander is joking around now. This is a sign of how bad our situation is. "What are you two murmuring about?" Xavier asked when
