According to Piers' explanation, the energy from the crystal table must resonate with the user and actual ability wasn’t the main criteria. If they are compatible, the user can use the table. If not, at most they can sense its energy. In addition, the resonating energy shifts. At one point, Piers could resonate with the crystal. Then he couldn’t. Tori didn’t ask why, as Piers didn’t seem to want to explain. There was a chance he didn’t know how to. However, their conversation did leave her…-

“Go and bring Lady Ilyana at once.” A familiar voice spoke from the other side of her bed and Tori automatically turned her head. Her vision was still a bit blurry, but she could recognize her brother without a problem. “Kasey?” Tori croaked once more, and someone brought a glass of water to her lips. Her brother leaned over the bed and helped prop her up so she could drink. “You’ve been asleep for hours. Drink first.” Her brother gave Nanny Rey a nod and Nanny Rey made her drink until the…

“Guevera!” Gideon rushed forward and extended his arms, but he was too far away. Guevara seemed to crumple into herself, and her head hit the ground. Sir Atienza managed to grab her to soften the blow, but Gideon grimaced. Sir Atienza put his hand under her head and frowned. The tall knight looked over his shoulder and shouted. “Bring the carriage closer and contact His Highness!” His Highness he was referring to was Piers. Gideon felt his heart tighten as he looked at the pale young woman in the…

It was that dull, throbbing headache again. The low buzzing in her ears also seemed to surround her and she shut her eyes. She wouldn’t describe herself as dizzy, but certainly she felt a bit off. She reached out to try to steady herself, but there was nothing for her to hold on to. She heard muddled yelling cutting through the haziness. She tried to open her eyes, but they remained shut. For a moment, her heart froze. The last thing she remembered was falling. She exerted too much energy far too…

That was not the answer Tori thought she’d get. “You’ll...you’ll call him in for an interview?” “My lady, you have allowed us to start making reservations for rooms for the opening and each soft open will allow for another week of reservations,” Mr. Somerset told her before showing her an appointment book. Tori flipped through the first week and found that all the slots were already booked. She tried not to make a face recognizing the names of Ewan and some knights. “If it continues like…

“What is wrong with her?” Sonia’s hand squeezed the tall glass of iced coffee and Claire put her hand on her arm to try to calm her before she hurt herself. “She didn’t ask you. She just put your name on her stupid invitation.” “If the Countess did not appear for the dance after it was announced that she would, it would reflect badly on her considering it is for such an event,” Claire said. Tori knew she knew what she was talking about. Claire was very familiar with the aristocratic and…

“And then he cried.” “He did She would be as civil as she could towards him and assured him she would do her duty properly, but not to ask for forgiveness again. She and Ilyana had left him with a stunned expression that day. The group of young women walked down the stairs from the upper floor of Duel after checking on their set up. Tonight, they were having a soft open for friends and family who were interested in tabletop gaming. They’d rushed over after Lycée ended to prepare. “Well, he…

“Is she extorting me?” His father looked on the verge of throwing the papers at his brother. Piers didn’t seem at all perturbed as he stirred his post-dinner coffee. His nonchalance only irritated their father more so. “Piers! What does she mean by this?” He slammed his hand and the papers that he held on top of the dining table closest to Piers. Gideon sat across the table from them, beside his mother, watching the exchange. The Emperor of Soleil was said to be an aloof man, at least when his…

“I didn’t do anything!” Tori shot Piers a glare. She’d throw her arms in the air if Instructor Ignatius’ death grip didn’t keep them pinned at her sides. She looked at Axton and cocked her head. “A little help? He’s skinny, but strong.” Axton seemed to shake himself out of his stupor. He moved forward. “What happened to him?” “We ran into his ex-girlfriend when we arrived, and she was here with another man. Adrien Rosiek.” Axton stopped where he was, about to pry the drunken…

For heavily soiled clothing, Tori kept a large, ceramic and metal bucket in her and Ilyana’s bathroom. Inside the bucket were several crystals used to stimulate a washing machine. She could either activate them or use the bucket to pre-soak her usually dirt splattered clothes from when she was at the delta. Wandering around various construction sites and marsh or farmland could get messy. Tori dunked the clothes she wore to the vault inside the bucket. The crystals were used to move the water to…
