§ Ceria and Chiara stuck close to me after lunch, so I wasn’t able to escape my doom. I had no choice but to return to my room for my appointment with the castle seamstress. I was not thinking about ditching anyway, but they were determined to make good and sure I went. Exclusive stores for nobility, essentially upscale shops …

§ Mireia and Melione missed lunch, due to once again touring the hospitals to treat battle casualties. Mireia had been doing so daily since she arrived in this city, and Melione had begun joining her on the first morning of my extended nap. But I learned from Ceria that today, eleven days after the demonic attack on Narses, would be …

§ Immediately following my last meeting, I stood up from my desk with the intention of finding Rod for an explanation of how, exactly, he planned to invade a mystical kingdom of Dorian legend. That’s as far as I got before Syl, the maid, responded to a quiet knock on the door by opening it slightly to receive a message …

§ Suddenly being out of touch with reality for three days has made one truth painfully clear. I have been underestimating the speed at which things have been happening. Rod didn’t really prepare me for this while we took breakfast together. Mostly he stayed silent while Amelia dominated the conversation, giving me a full rundown of the events of her …

§ The car wouldn’t start again, so I had to take the bus to get to work. But for some reason, when I got on it, it looked like the aerial tramway in Tëan Tír. I thought that was odd, but I was in a hurry, so I got on anyway. Somehow, I ended up at my old high school …

§ I have to confess, in all honesty, that I was not exactly adverse to the idea, but I had to maintain my link with the [Sky Lotus]. I also needed to be aware of what was going on with Shindzha, to prevent any misunderstandings between her and the people going to meet her, before anything unfortunate occurred. In short, …

§ For the first few seconds, I was too shocked to respond to the word the hellspawn woman had uttered. Mistress? She had clearly reacted to my [Vampire Sense], as soon as I focused it on her. The only possible explanation for her use of the term was that she had correlated it somehow to some woman in authority over …

§ The conversation I awoke to was… somewhat suspicious, I guess I would say? And all in furtive whispers. “Will you behave please? The Mistress is right next to us!” “That’s! Why! We’ve been separated since forever! And Lady went and got hurt right away, before I can even have any time with her! I gotta play!” “Lady Tiana isn’t …

§ The hellspawn let out a heart-rending scream as my fangs sank into her, but I wasn’t holding back the [Vampire Charm] that accompanies feeding in the slightest.
