The alchemy hall was in a separate large building that was built for everything related to alchemy and was even a center of trade for alchemy-related products. But before entering the hall, all the participants were required to take the written examination so that most would be eliminated in this round and only the knowledgeable ones would be remaining. Damien and Valentina weren't taking the exam directly. So, they sat somewhere near the building where there weren't many people and even if there were,…-

Damien was able to sense Valentina's soul since she wasn't too far. So he could guess where she sneaked into and why. Valentina avoided his gaze and looked down as if she did something wrong. She realized that Damien found out about her quick little visit and didn't know if he was going to be angry at her or how he was going to react. The only thing that relieved her was that she could sense his soul was very calm without any turbulent emotions, which could also mean that he was suppressing his…

"Sila, what happened?" Yuria saw Sila waiting outside her room as she opened the door and inwardly sighed in relief. Sila bowed and said, "Your Highness, I just came to check on you since I heard how the king found you in the kitchen." Yuria sighed as she pursed her lips, "Yeah, it's unfortunate that my secret passage got found out. But don't worry about it. He isn't angry at me." Sila placed her hand on her chest as she said in a relieved tone, "Thank god. But in case His Majesty is still angry at you,…

A pair of ruby red eyes were feverishly looking at the oblivious Yuria, who was sitting on the bed. Valentina slowly took out her katana and dashed forward as she made herself visible and placed the sword against Yuria's neck, "Don't move!" "EH!" Yuria was shocked to suddenly see a girl appear before her out of thin air and place a sword against her neck. She saw this exceptionally beautiful rosy-pink-haired girl looking at her with blood-red eyes that could make one lose their soul under their charms,…

Since King Krisen could be considered his future father-in-law, Damien decided to show the proper respect and respectfully bowed as he greeted, "Your Majesty." King Krisen inwardly nodded in appreciation, seeing that Damien was well mannered indeed. "Hmm, so Damien, who are you?" King Krisen decided to ask the basic question first. Damien raised his head and looked at him as he said, "I am Damien Godwin, an outcast of the Ward Family of the Rong Empire." King Krisen raised his brows, "The Rong Empire?…

Yuria felt that there was no point in conducting the alchemy competition anymore since she had found the man she wanted. But at the same time, she felt it might be too late to cancel it now and could affect her father's image. And as expected, King Krisen shook his head and said, "It's too late to do that now. We have invited all these influential people here already. We would be making ourselves look bad if we canceled it without any good reason." Yuria nodded with a sigh thinking that her father…

Seeing how happy and excited her father looked, Yuria glanced away and said in a tone of guilt, "Actually, I have been having visions involving Damien for a long time, but I never told anyone since others might find it absurd. That's why I even asked you to hold this alchemy competition so that I can confirm whether a man like him really existed. But I don't know if these visions were caused by my soul because other than these visions involving him, I never saw anything else. So I don't think it can hardly…

After Damien was taken away, King Krisen closed the kitchen doors and made sure no one else was nearby. However, inwardly his muscles were quivering with rage thinking about his pure and innocent daughter being sullied by some nobody he had never even seen before. He had suddenly decided to visit the kitchen after getting some news of his daughter sneaking out by using some secret passage. So he came here to check whether what he heard was right only to receive a shock to his heart. He was doing his best…

Yuria quickly got down from the table like a frightened rabbit and mumbled, "Papa…" She, who just experienced the memory of losing her parents, suddenly felt warmth spreading across her chest and eyes upon seeing her father in her present life. She didn't know if he was the same father as hers in her past life, but nevertheless, she was elated to see him again, knowing that she at least had a father who was alive in this life. Damien knitted his brows upon seeing that it was King Krisen who didn't…

"Damien…" Yuria mumbled with a dazed expression as she looked at the devilishly handsome boy standing before her, looking at her with trembling eyes. "Nathasia…" Damien mumbled, which sounded like he was whispering the name of a long-lost lover. Before, when he fell asleep, he didn't have a nightmare but instead, he had a dream about Nathasia, and that dream ended as a nightmare when he saw her getting killed right before him. As soon as it ended, he jumped up awake, feeling shaken to the core, and…
