“Congratulations, step sister of mine,” Luca said with a smile. “To think that you are the first among our family whom His Majesty would recognize as a knight. This is quite an achievement. I’m very proud of you.” “Oh, please,” Nicole replied. “Both of us know that you don’t mean what you’re saying, Luca.” “Oh, but I do.” Luca smirked. “You know me, step sister. I do not burn bridges with anyone who has the potential to reach greater heights.” After leaving Otto City…-

The day of the Ballroom Party had finally come. Ethan and Nicole both wore the ceremonial clothes of a Knight, which had been prepared for them beforehand. Both of them looked very good in it, especially Nicole, who was radiating an aura of a true Magical Knight. Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half whistled when they saw her and even gave the beautiful young lady a thumbs up. “Too bad Ethan only plans to have five wives and one concubine,” Sebastian commented. “Well, we’re still not sure…

“Sir Ethan, did you perhaps acquire the Tide Bringer’s Legacy?” “No.” Ethan’s reply was firm, and yet, Princess Eva only smiled as if she had heard something very amusing. “I see.” Princess Eva nodded. “Well, since we are already on the subject, allow me to tell you about the Tide Bringer’s Legacy. However, what you are about to hear is something that I only learned from ancient texts. Whether they are true or not, I cannot confirm it.” Princess Eva then closed her eyes as…

Anyone would jump at the opportunity to dine with the Queen of the Kingdom. But for Ethan, such a big deal was something he just wanted to get over with. “I’ve only been in the palace for a day and a half, and I’m already feeling exhausted,” Ethan said as Mary combed his hair. “If any of the Nobles here were to hear you say this, Sir Ethan, I’m afraid that they would start a riot,” Mary commented. “Everyone wants to form connections with the Royal Family. They would even go as far…

In Queen Evane’s eyes, Nicole might as well be her niece, so she made sure that Oscar gave Nicole’s mother good accommodations despite the fact that she wasn’t contributing anything to the growth of the Asta Family. For this reason, Nicole decided to take the burden of having the Asta Family name and did her best to show Oscar that she was a very capable individual. Due to her hard work, she was hailed as one of the geniuses of the Family. But this was far from the truth. Nicole had no…

“Hah… that Old Fart finally left,” Queen Evane said grumpily. “He's already this old, so why does he still not kick the bucket? It must be hard on you, Nicole.” “I’m used to it, Your Majesty,” Nicole replied. Ethan only sipped his tea quietly as he listened to the conversation. Just like Queen Evane had said, Oscar had stayed inside his room for nearly half an hour before leaving. The man didn’t say anything and just sat quietly on the side, listening to their…

While Ethan and Nicole were having breakfast, several Wizards and Witches were hard at work to restore the beauty of the Palace Gardens. The damage that Ethan caused during the Knight and Seek game was pretty extensive. The five fountains had been completely destroyed, and only a big hole filled with water could be seen in its location. Those who specialized in Earth Magic all worked together to block up these holes and fix the damage in their surroundings. Rebuilding the fountains took time, so…

“Why are you here?” Ethan asked. “Well, why can't I be here?” Nicole rhetorically replied. “I mean, can’t you eat your breakfast in your own room?” “Eating alone is not my cup of tea. Also, staying inside my room is boring. I’d rather we talk about the things that we need to watch out for during the Ballroom Party.” The two maids, Mary and Sue, dutifully placed plates of food on top of the table. Nicole wished to have breakfast with Ethan, so she asked Sue to come with…

In order to prevent any acts of violence towards Nicole and Ethan, the Grand Archmage, Lord Edmond, personally escorted them back to the palace while telling everyone that the game had come to an end. Just as he expected, the Nobles were unwilling to let the matter end in this manner. But when Lord Edmond mentioned that he had done it under the King’s orders, all the Nobles had no choice but to accept his decree. However, that didn’t stop them from glaring at the two teenagers who had made a…

“They’re in the back gardens! Let’s hurry!” “Don’t rush. We should circle around and attack them from behind!” Almost everyone in the castle was alarmed when the entire mountain started to shake. “Another earthquake?! This one is stronger than the first one!” The one responsible for this phenomenon was none other than Ethan, who was manipulating the underground source of water to rise up to the surface, making the fountains under his control erupt like volcanoes. “…Is…
