Chapter 72: A Contract Is a Contract
After arriving at the Lozano estate, my days quickly became busy, mostly because Lucia's father kept pestering me about when I planned to marry his daughter. Every time I thought the subject had finally been dropped, he somehow found another chance to bring it up.Still, despite all the teasing and unexpected attention, life at the estate was peaceful. After everything that had happened at Eilram Magic Academy, that peaceful atmosphere almost felt strange.I was staying here for the time being, along with Lucia and Alice. The plan was simple enough. We would remain in Lozano territory until things at the academy settled down.A fireworks festival was also scheduled for this Saturday, drawing nobles and commoners into the streets for an evening of celebration as magical lights filled the night sky.For most people, it was something to look forward to, but for me, it was the perfect opportunity.Saturday was the day Elira would be delivered to the Adelram Ducal Estate, and I had already
Chapter 71: An Unusual Client
The girl slowly reached up and removed her mask, lowering it into her hand as her hood slipped back. Long purple hair with dark black undertones fell over her shoulders, revealing a beautiful face that remained as emotionless as ever.Kyla stared at her in silence, recognizing the face she hadn't seen in years. For a moment, the room seemed to grow unnaturally still.The faint shadow mana surrounding the woman was barely noticeable, but Kyla could still sense it clearly.There was no mistaking that presence.Kyla stared at the woman in front of her for a moment before finally saying her name."Zinnia."Zinnia gave a small nod. "It's been a while."Kyla crossed her arms and leaned against the table, the brief amusement fading from her face as she stared at Zinnia."I already escaped from that hellhole. And now you want me to go back?""No." Zinnia answered immediately, her expression remaining unreadable. "This has nothing to do with that."Kyla studied Zinnia's expression carefully, s
Chapter 70: A Personal Request
Aurelia Port was one of the busiest gateways into Lozano State, with ships arriving and departing throughout the day as merchants, nobles, travelers, and cargo from across the kingdom passed through its harbor.But the port served a purpose beyond trade, as it also marked an important crossroads between the Lozano Ducal Territory and the lands beyond it.Beyond the main roads leading deeper into Lozano territory, another route stretched toward the neighboring Adelram Ducal Territory, making Aurelia Port an important passage for anyone traveling between the two domains.Far from the noise of the port, in a secluded building hidden among the outskirts, three mercenaries sat around a worn wooden table.The room was small and poorly lit, with a single magical lamp hanging from the ceiling and flickering faintly above them. None of them looked particularly happy."Fuck!" Stefano slammed his fist against the table. "Why the hell did those retards fail to keep that noble?!"The tan-skinned m
Chapter 69: Lozano
The first light of morning was beginning to spread across the horizon when the sea train finally slowed to a stop.After hours of traveling across the ocean, the steady rumble of the train gradually faded until only the gentle sound of waves remained.The doors opened with a soft hiss.One by one, the passengers began stepping onto the platform, some stretching their arms after the long journey while others rubbed their tired eyes. A few still looked slightly dazed from the Oceanic Warp Corridor.I stepped outside and took a slow breath.The air smelled different from the academy.There was a faint scent of salt carried by the morning breeze, mixed with the smell of the sea and the distant noise of ships moving through the harbor.I looked ahead.This was Aurelia Port, one of the main gateways into Lozano Estate.The port was already beginning to wake up. Large ships moved slowly across the water while smaller boats traveled between the docks. Magical lamps still illuminated parts of
Chapter 68: What Am I Supposed to Remember?
I looked at the girl sitting across from us, and a strange sense of recognition washed over me. I knew her, not from reality, but from my dreams.She appeared in them often, always in places I didn't recognize, always saying things I could never fully understand.And yet, somehow, I felt like I knew her.Lucia suddenly spoke beside me, her voice pulling me from my thoughts. "Do you know her?"I glanced at her as Lucia stared at the girl with a curious expression. "I've been wondering about her. She keeps glancing at us."I looked back at the girl. It made sense that Lucia was curious. She had never seen her before or experienced the false reality created by the Calamity of Delusion.Only Shayna and I had experienced it."No," I replied. "I don't really know her."The girl suddenly stood and walked toward the back of the sea train. My eyes followed her as I rose from my seat without thinking.Then the speakers above us crackled to life. "Attention, passengers. We will soon be entering
Chapter 67: My Brother Has a Fiancé?!
A week earlier, deep within the heart of Lozano State, a young girl stood alone in one of the estate's spacious gardens.She was fifteen years old, yet there was something about her appearance that made her impossible to mistake for an ordinary noble daughter.Her long black hair flowed down her back, reaching well past her shoulders and swaying gently whenever the breeze passed through the garden. A few loose strands framed her face, softening features that were otherwise strikingly familiar.Her crimson eyes and familiar features were an uncanny reflection of her brother's.If her hair were cut short and she stood beside him, there would be almost no mistaking them for anything other than twins.She was Alice Remington, the youngest daughter of the Remington family.And, unfortunately for everyone around her, she had inherited more than just her brother's appearance.She was quick-witted, perhaps a little too much for her age, as Alice slowly raised one hand.A small sphere of mana
