Alaric took one quick glance at the window that didn't lead to the sunlight.

Nothing, just dim moss that lights up the room dimly.

According to Andressa, there are a lot of rooms meant for them on the upper floors, but this is what they get for being first years.

The second years have luminescent moss lighting up their room through the windows, and then the third years have prism-scattered sunlight coming in through the window.

For the final years, they are the ones who get to actually get t

    After hearing Alaric’s response, Jenna’s mouth was opened wide, she for sure hadn’t seen that coming, and his tone was filled with so much conviction. The look in Alaric’s eyes was enough to clear every doubt in her mind that he might be bluffing.“Why do you look so baffled? Do you think I am a saint?” Alaric asked with his brows arched. “I’ve had a rough upbringing, it shouldn’t be weird to you that I am like this even though I try my best to put up a good front in front of everyone.” Jenna bit on her lower lip and looked away from him for a brief moment, fighting a smile. For some reason, everything about this young man seems to fascinate her so much. “So, are you going to give me the answer to my question or will you spend the entirety of the minutes you have to spare lost in your thoughts?” Alaric questioned, snapping her out of her thoughts. Jenna turned to him. "Remind me what your question was, please.” “Tell me everything you know about my father,” Alaric repeated immedia

    Immediately after Jenna introduced them to their respective rooms, she stood in the doorway of Alaric’s open door, watching him with a blank expression on her face as he settled in and arranged the stuff that he had carried with him. Only one thought passed her mind, and she couldn’t help voicing it out. "You know, initially, I thought that you might do a couple of things differently compared to the way other people do their own things,” she said, drawing his attention. He sat on the edge of the bed and turned to face her, a slight crease in his brows. “What? You expect me to act like demons just because I have part of their blood running in my veins?” “No,” she pushed off the doorway, and closing the door, she approached him. “I just hoped that I could see some distinct acts, fascinating ones, no matter how little they might be to you.” “I’m not in any way sorry to disappoint you.”“Let’s put that aside and move on to why you want to see me, your time is counting,” Jenna said, se

  • Chapter 108: Everything Comes At a Cost.

    ‘I was wrong and she was right.’ Those were the first words that made it to Alaric’s mind the moment he laid his eyes on Jenna as she stood in front of the capital’s gate to escort him to where he will be staying till the council members are ready to see him. The last time he had spoken to Kira and she had mentioned that Jenna can be quite hot if she wants. Jennna’s first impression towards him was her putting on baggy clothes, but right now she was clad in something so different, so feminine. She was putting on a red gown, one that quite hugged her body and brought out her shape. While they made their way towards where she was taking them to, Jenna broke the silence between the three of them. “You know I thought that I would catch you off guard and dazzling at my appearance given that I look totally different to the last time you saw me, but I guess you are a hard man to catch offguard.” “Or maybe I am just better at hiding my emotions compared to others, you might have caught

    “Is something wrong?” Alaric asked cautiously, placing his hand gently on Kira’s hand, trying to get her to ease the pressure of the dagger on his neck. “Do you even know who Jenna is?” She demanded, raising her brows. “Um… she told me she is the beast master's daughter,” he answered softly, hoping his answer wouldn't rile her up more, but that wasn't the case. Kira clenched her teeth. “If that were just the case, then there wouldn't have been any issue at all, but she thinks she is the best of our generation and is also known as a psychotic genius. I freaking hate her.” “I can tell you do hate her, but can you please ease up? You're on the verge of making me bleed,” Alaric pointed out softly. Her eyes widened, snapping out of her anger, she pulled the dagger away from his neck. “Oh, I am very sorry about that,” she mumbled, rubbing the spot on his neck where her dagger had been. Alaric let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his body, which he had tightened. “It is totally fine,”

  • Chapter 106: The Capital Calls.

    Headmaster Thorne had a long face while going through the letter that had arrived at the academy a few hours ago. That wasn’t his first time going through the letter, he had been doing it over and over again. The contents had left him speechless for quite a while, the only thing he had been able to do was call the particular person that the letter concerned. A knock on his door drew him out of his thoughts, “Come in.” Two figures made their way into his office and then sat opposite him. Headmaster Thorne didn’t take his eyes off the letter all through. His office remained in silence, the two additional figures that had made their way into his office didn’t say a single word either, patiently waiting for Headmaster Thorne to be the one to break that silence. Seconds slowly build into minutes.Headmaster Thorne dropped the letter on his table and let out a deep sigh. He raised his gaze to the two young men sitting in front of him and pointed at the letter he had just dropped. “That
