As Echidna flew towards the ice aberration, she extended her right hand forward, shattering the massive pillar of ice. "Oh, so you can do that?" the ice aberration spoke, emerging from the shattered ice shards, holding an ice lance in its hands. With a smile, it would be less than two meters away from Echidna, launching a direct attack with its lances. "Huh? Oh, it's getting even more interesting," the ice aberration remarked as its lances were prevented from reaching Echidna by a wind barrier…-

'Ice aberration, does it really exist?' Echidna thought, looking at the ice sphere that had fallen in front of Marian's house. Crack! The thick layer of ice on the sphere began to crack. "Echidna, be careful, move away!" Fiona said, pushing Echidna away. At that moment, the sphere burst, sending shards of ice into the air, and the Ice aberration emerged, quickly turning its head towards Fiona and Echidna. Its focus was fixed on Fiona, still suspended in the air a few meters above the ground. With…

While Marian tried to make Dantalian as comfortable as possible to buy Echidna more time to get a healing potion A massive ice sphere would fall in the middle of the city, with Marian's house being too far away for her to know about it. Luck for her, after all, the one who would come out of this sphere was the ice aberration. "What the hell is this?" "Why did he decide to show up?" "We shouldn't have irritated him." "Now is he after us? Why? We didn't do anything." These were the cries of the…

After Dantalian's conversation with the villagers, it was only a matter of time before the rumors were shattered and everyone began to ignore them. Dantalian never actually wanted to tarnish the Duchess's name. After all, how could he use her influence or, worse, what if his invitation was invalidated? Absolutely not, he didn't want that. He decided to tell only a partial truth, albeit a milder version, among various other well-crafted but exaggerated lies that would serve as blatant disguises. By…

"Are you sure? But the rumors, they seem to be true," spoke a brown-haired woman wearing common villager attire, holding a baby in her arms. "She's right, some of them have been proven to be true," said a man with worn-out clothes. He had black hair, and his prominent feature was his huge dark circles. "That's right, that bitch was robbing us." "Yes, that wretched Duchess was abusing her position just to take more than half of all the money that should be ours." "Our harvest, the money we risked…

'If your mother asks anything related to this, just agree and look at her coldly.' These were some of Dantalian's instructions to Echidna. At that moment, she was looking out the window of her room, watching Dantalian leave his house and get into the carriage. The window next to where Amanda was sitting remained closed before they left. 'She should appear at any moment.' Echidna threw herself back onto her bed, placing her hand on her forehead. Her breathing was irregular, and her body temperature…

Marian spoke, smiling at Dantalian with her elbows resting on her desk and her head resting in her hands. "Well done, Dantalian. I was truly surprised by how quickly you managed to resolve the situation my elven friends were facing." Dantalian sat in a simple wooden chair, which seemed too plain to receive such an important visitor. With a fake smile on his face and his hand placed on his thigh, Dantalian replied, "Of course, when I set out to do something, I go and do it. By the way, have you seen…

"I'm sorry, Anna, but I haven't completed my mission yet, and I've already stayed longer than I should have," replied Dantalian. Freytan let out a tired yawn, her weary eyes bloodshot from sleep deprivation. She longed to rest her head on a soft pillow, knowing it would instantly lull her into a deep slumber. " Let's go... Thanks to Dantalian, my body feels weak. " she murmured, her voice betraying exhaustion. Anna reluctantly released Dantalian's hand, taking a few hesitant steps backward as her…

'What? Why did he do that?' That was Echidna's thought at the moment she received the slap. When she collided with the cave wall, she stood up as if nothing had happened, even the mark of Dantalian's palm. "But what do you think you're doing?" Echidna shouted as she walked towards Dantalian. "It's you who should do that now. Sit down and think about what you said and did to deserve that slap," Dantalian said, pointing to the ground. "What do you..." Echidna clenched her fists. "Shut up and just…

"On that same night, while Freytan was still in a deeper sleep than usual, Fiona and Amanda were lying in the same bed, sleeping. The sight of the three women deeply asleep was beautiful to behold. However, Dantalian, with his eyes closed, sat on the chair at the vanity, facing away from the mirror. The golden energy completely covered his eyes and ears, and when he looked towards Anna's room, focusing solely on it... 'Let's see who you really are,' Dantalian thought, creating a mental image of…
