“Hey! Aren't you the abandoned princess?” Mikhailla sneered, her voice echoing through the hallway as she looked at Lethyxia with a mocking smile.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuB4aY9RRm
Lethyxia kept her expression calm, refusing to engage. She simply turned away and began walking, hoping to avoid unnecessary conflict.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hTE4Bs0V8
“Hey! I’m talking to you!” Mikhailla’s voice grew harsher as she stomped forward, grabbing Leth’s hair and shoving her against the wall. “You little brat! Maybe the emperor took you in because he pities you!” she taunted, her friends snickering behind her.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP3aYoqjh8
“If you’re done talking, let go of me,” Leth replied, her tone steady, unfazed by Mikhailla’s aggression.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtTNf0ItA7
Mikhailla’s face twisted in anger, and she shoved Leth to the ground, drawing laughter from her friends as Leth’s clothes were soiled with dust. Leth remained calm, still showing no emotion as she sat there.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf0B57BPYv
“Have you heard what happened at La Maison Fleur five years ago?” Leth asked softly, her voice carrying an unsettling calm. “About how some of the maids were found... unrecognizable?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsgRJTabI7
A chill passed over Mikhailla and her friends, their laughter fading. Mikhailla tried to brush it off, forcing a laugh. “So what? Did you kill them? And the emperor has no idea? You’re just a pretender,” she scoffed.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsVfS9BLOh
“Oh yes, I am,” Leth replied with a quiet smile as dark shadows began forming around her, swirling in the dim light. “And you could be next.” Her eyes held a dangerous glint, her smile sending shivers down their spines. Mikhailla’s group suddenly found themselves unable to move, frozen in fear.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy0JjIP4ZC
“Wh-what’s happening?! What did you do to me?” Mikhailla gasped, trembling.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMSgrIOWCk
“This is the price for crossing the wrong person,” Leth said darkly, her shadows creeping closer, ready to envelop Mikhailla.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbycE61GneG
“It’s forbidden to use magic to harm others! The headmaster will punish you!” Mikhailla shouted, panicking.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrx9DBAQJx
“Oh?” Leth raised an eyebrow, her tone mocking. “Do you really think the headmaster would sense something... unusual?” She smirked, sensing someone approaching. In an instant, she erased Mikhailla’s memory of the incident, her shadows dissipating as if nothing had happened.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTIyETRdC8
“Oh, Mikhailla! What’s wrong? And—Leth?” Azel’s voice sounded as he rounded the corner, noticing Leth’s disheveled state. He hurried over, a concerned look in his eyes.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnIAv2uxdo
“Azel... it’s... nothing,” Mikhailla stammered, quickly looking away, unwilling to mention her failed bullying attempt.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TCN2u0lZH
“Azel,” he said warmly, turning to Leth. “And you must be Leth?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQRrp9dfC1
“Yes…” Leth replied, offering a small nod.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMs87eACrg
“What happened?” Another voice joined them—Aeron, his eyes narrowing as he took in Leth’s dirtied clothes. His face darkened, piecing together what had occurred.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHziabqAt55
“I... I’m sorry!” Mikhailla burst out suddenly, her face flushed with embarrassment before she turned and ran down the hall, her friends close behind.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJHXZMO2Kx
Leth chuckled lightly, watching them go. “Serves them right,” she murmured, brushing some dust off her clothes.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSRW7k6wvd
“Are you alright, Leth? Did you get hurt?” Aeron asked, his eyes softened with concern.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCYygXfg4
“I’m alright... I think,” she replied, giving him a reassuring smile.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4PNiBUYA2
Aeron sighed, then called over Selena, who approached with a knowing grin. “So, this is the Leth I’ve heard so much about?” she teased, glancing at Aeron.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBTC6uhkkA
“Selena, can you heal her and clean up her clothes?” Aeron asked, ignoring the teasing.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJqQd6GhBn
Selena chuckled, placing her hands over Leth as she removed the dirt and healed any small scrapes. “There you go,” she said with a smile. “All cleaned up and as good as new.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUiCs040cB
Selena, Azel and Aeron brought leth to her dormitory before heading to their room.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1B20CKWM
“You’re Lethyxia, right?” Sienna asked, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and excitement.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBcKHYxIQC
Lethyxia turned, her gaze warm and welcoming. “Hi! You must be Sienna.” Her smile was genuine, and she seemed just as intrigued.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddRZ9EbwHQ
“That’s right…” Sienna’s cheeks flushed a little as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’re in the magic class, aren’t you?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iwma99fR
Lethyxia nodded, her eyes lighting up. “Yeah! So… does that make us classmates?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFZ2UYwulk
Sienna’s smile turned into a full grin, her excitement unmistakable. “Looks like it. I’ve heard a lot about you!”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGWQG7btT3
“Good things, I hope?” Lethyxia teased, raising an eyebrow playfully.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7aGcRqnV
“Oh, absolutely,” Sienna laughed, feeling a sense of ease she hadn’t expected.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFIw4W4Fh0
"Yuiiii!" Sienna giggled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I can't believe my roommate is the princess… You're even more beautiful in person!"
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV5uIfyTM8
Yui’s cheeks flushed, a modest smile crossing her face. "Oh… you're flattering me," she replied, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39EG2IVEWV
Just then, the school bell rang, echoing through the corridors. Both girls glanced at each other, their expressions shifting from excitement to readiness.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJe240yiOE
"Guess we’d better get to class," Yui said with a grin.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iXNpyIOrR
Sienna nodded enthusiastically. "Right! Let’s not keep the professors waiting."
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeEOQHH5vI
Together, they joined the flow of students heading down the hallway, a sense of anticipation filling the air as they walked side by side to their first class of the day.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj6Tq1IETb
That day, everything went smoothly, with Lethyxia and Sienna quickly finding their rhythm in class. They navigated through spells, incantations, and theory with ease, exchanging glances whenever one of them caught on to a difficult concept before the other.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNfqUr1j9b
During lunch, they laughed and shared stories, each learning more about the other’s life and dreams. Sienna admired Lethyxia’s quiet confidence, while Lethyxia found comfort in Sienna’s warmth and optimism.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG3HsB6G7F
As the day drew to a close, they both felt the spark of a new friendship, stronger than either of them had anticipated.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMq3lXrCav
When the class ended, they returned to their dorm, exhausted but satisfied from the day’s lessons. The quiet glow of dusk filled the room as they changed into their night clothes, talking softly about their favorite parts of the day.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYB1SLCYDp
Sienna couldn’t stop smiling. “It’s strange, but I already feel like I’ve known you forever, Lethyxia.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZQVLsZszx
Lethyxia chuckled, brushing her hair out. “Same here, Sienna. I guess roommates just click sometimes.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWORGhoVtuM
They each settled into their beds, the soft blankets inviting them into restful sleep. The silence was comfortable, a gentle peace settling over them.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDtmjjst7Q
“Goodnight, Sienna,” Lethyxia murmured, closing her eyes.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSdoORUwA
“Goodnight, Lethyxia,” Sienna replied, already drifting off, her heart light with the beginning of a new friendship and the promise of tomorrow.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRal3AcirB
“I guess laying low for a while isn’t so bad,” Lethyxia thought, her smile turning darker as a thrill sparked within her. “Besides, I think that person is here. Can’t wait to see what surprises may come.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6osMIJ6oc
Lethyxia stood by the window, her gaze sharp and focused as she watched the night unfold over the academy grounds. Behind her, Sienna was fast asleep, oblivious to the dark energy pulsing through the room.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeDWqeCoMC
“Find that person,” she commanded in a low voice, her tone laced with an authority that sent her shadows leaping into action. In an instant, the dark tendrils swirled from her, slipping through the window and fanning out like silent specters, sweeping through the academy’s halls, corridors, and hidden corners. They moved swiftly, unseen, gliding through walls and shadows as they searched, obeying her command with unerring loyalty.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlQ2vCMOix
As she waited, a faint thrill bubbled within her, anticipation sparking with each moment. She could almost feel the shadows feeding back glimpses of faces, movements, and whispers as they scoured every inch of the academy for any trace of the presence she had sensed. It was only a matter of time before they found their target, and when they did, the real game would begin.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipATM81Axh
With a dark smile, Lethyxia leaned against the window, her eyes gleaming as she whispered to the night, “I wonder... are you ready for me?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQdDauKjmy
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the forest, the night was thick and silent, broken only by the eerie whispers of wind through ancient trees. At the center of the clearing stood a man, gazing up at the ruins of a long-abandoned, crumbling mansion. Vines crept along its stone walls, and shattered windows stared blankly back, as though holding secrets of a forgotten time.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnKlNkPYQf
A shadowy figure emerged beside him, its form flickering like smoke. “Your memories haven’t come back yet?” it asked, its voice like a low hiss, filled with a strange mix of curiosity and impatience.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL09xACpBz
The man sighed, rubbing his temple as if trying to ease a headache. “Memories?” he repeated, his voice distant. “Only fragments... glimpses that feel more like dreams than anything real. Faces I can’t place, words that vanish before I can understand them. It’s as if something is keeping them just out of reach.”
