Only then, the maidservant suddenly opened her mouth wide while giving her some signal to follow her. “To make sure you drank all of it,” she said. To satisfy her, Emery opened her mouth and showed her that she did take all that bitter medicine. The maidservant was more than satisfied so she was about to leave, but then Emery made a request. “Can you bring me the oldest book from the library?” she asked. “I-I will. Please, wait for a while.” Back at Elescaster City, Emperor Claus was greeted by his people with a joyous welcome for finally ending the rule of the barbarians in the western border. However, as soon as he and his knights entered the palace, rumors about Emery’s absence spread lik

Bernice glanced at me. The maid put on white gloves and carefully opened the box to reveal a crown. I blinked. It was the Crown I had never seen before. It has twelve water-drop-shaped pearls arranged neatly on the crown. On the top of each pearl is a perfectly cut heart-shaped diamond. The base of the crown is silver with rings of olive-leaf-shaped crystals. In the light of the Sun, it is holy and elegant like the Crown of our moon goddess. Bernice was so pleased with the crown that the satisfaction in her eyes almost overflowed.

Now he couldn't care less about Samantha's fate. Under the magic spell, nobody could see Sam's room except me and the doctor, as well as the two female warriors I had chosen. There were six female warriors assigned to her. Over a 24-hour period, they worked three different shifts. I wasn't taking any chances. Nicolas' father returned home with his second chance mate, and his two younger siblings joined him.

The feel of it was even worse. Suddenly, a thought crossed my head at the resemblance of the black seal and my ring. A symbol that I failed to recognize but hazily suspected. The eerie eyes of an owl. Of course, she chose that over anything else. Sabrina, you cunning piece of shit.
