"HELLO, EVERYONE. I am Alesteria Elsi Alaric, your new assistant professor for this semester. It's nice to meet you all." Alesteria's honey-blonde hair, which was normally not tied or braided, is now in a ponytail as she wore glasses. It was not her idea to wear something like that, but Laroi convinced her to make her look more 'professor-like' in Laroi's term. After Alesteria introduced herself, Laroi standing next to her, the students from the academic’s department whispered to themselves as they stare at Alesteria. They are confused as to why she is there as their curiosity and confusion began to create a buzz, not because Alesteria is an assistant professor, but because she is standing in front of everyone in her uniform. Not just in her uniform, which is the same as the rest of the students in the academic department, she is still wearing her magic department badge as it is proudly pinned on her right chest. Usually, an assistant professor instructing the first-year students
IF ALESTERIA hadn't had such a lengthy patience span, she would have lost her cool right then and there. Thankfully, with years and centuries of being with Parie, that patience paid off quite well. Speaking of Parie, the same pixie is annoying Alesteria after she returned to her side and Alesteria has returned to her dorm after teaching. It was still a little early, so Alesteria decided to read a book in peace, but Pari seemed to have other plans for them. "C'mon! Just tell me a little bit! We are friends, right? Comrades! Please Alesteria!" Parie pestered her as she keeps flying around Alesteria's head like a pesky bug. Alesteria sighed, irritated, as she waves her hand and send a gust of wind to Parie's direction which made her flew back as she tumbled with a soft thud on the bed. "Hey! That wasn't very nice!" She said angrily with a pout as she sat up, crossing her arms. Alesteria closes her book and stared at Parie before finally giving in. "Fine. What is it that you wanted
"CLASS DISMISSED."The sound of the studengs chattering as they left the room made Alesteria breathe out a sigh of relief. It has been a month since she started teaching and her classes are well-made, as one of the professors said when they passed by one time when she was teaching.'Not sure whether to take that as an insult or compliment.' Alesteria thought as she shakes her head.She gather up her things and the moment she stepped out of the room, she saw Kallista waiting for her with a huge smile on her face, her eyes sparkling."Ales!" Kallista happily called as she walked towards Alesteria.Alesteria thought it was a puppy waiting for her, seeing how Kallista is in a good mood."Kallista, you're here early." Alesteria commented with a smile on her face as well.Kallista giggled and blushed, "Well, it is near lunch time and you know... We are eating at the cafeteria, right?"Alesteria almost laughed at how Kallista suddenly blushed, hearing that lunch break is in about five minute
ONCE UPON a time, there was a witch who closed herself off to the world and lived in a very secluded mountain. She wasn't lonely. In fact, she has a dragon by her side and the fairies whom she saved from extinction. She lived harmoniously with them for thousands of years. The witch's life is so harmonious that there were no fights and threats in her land. So much so, that she slowly grew tired of it and became unhappy. She was tired of the continuous cycle of her life in which what she only does in her daily life was to eat, sleep, read, and so on. There was no excitement for everyone and she wanted something new.
THE CASTLE was bustling for a whole month as the baby continue to sleep, her peaceful form in a beautiful and intricate crib that was made from the softest bamboo and designed with various gems. A month ago, after she was born, she fell asleep in the cold emperor's embrace and never woke up, even after a few hours. The people in the palace thought that the princess is just tired but she never once moved nor did she open her eyes. This phenomenon caused great panic to the palace as the first princess just continue to sleep peacefully, unaware of the havoc she is causing. The truth is, the body is still adjusting to the soul inside. The body is making sure that the soul is not slipping out from the body while also ensuring that it doesn't have a tear from the process. The soul inside, now named Alesteria Alaric, is also sleeping as she spent her energy waking up before they truly declare her dead. She decides to wake up at that time, even though her soul was still unstable inside
"YOUR HIGHNESS is so cute today!" Alesteria looked at the maid who was assigned to be her nanny bored as the nanny smiled warmly in return, holding a rattle in one hand and clothes on the other. She looked at her, dead in the eye, and clenched the bottle that she was holding very firmly. The cute act made the nanny squeal for a moment before cooing to her. "Now, now, your highness. I know you like your food but I have to dress you up." Alesteria knows that she needs to changes. She felt the milk sliding off her cheeks as it soaks into the bed, her hair, and her clothes.
"ALESTERIA~!" "Alesteria~!" "Alesteria~!" 'Ah, now I know why I feel irritated minutes ago. It was a premonition.' Alesteria looked at the boy who interrupted her sleep and saw a boy with light blonde hair and deep blue eyes, there is even a dimple on his cheek as he smiled brightly at her. Even though he is smiling like that, Alesteria knew that this boy looks like someone who causes trouble. Alesteria looked at the boy once again as she is still in her nanny's embrace and gave the boy a blank look, clearly displaying her irritation towards him. "Wow, Ales is staring at me! Do you find your brother handsome?" 'I find you annoying.' The boy, who is also the first prince of the Vlatka kingdom, is named Aldrich Thaddeus Alaric. Obviously, he is Alesteria's older brother. Alesteria remembered the first time he saw this boy and it immediately reminded him of one of his friends in the mountains. He was the same in terms of they may look innocent but they cause trouble whenever th
'ARE YOU kidding me?!' That is what Alesteria cried in her mind as everyone in the room became silent by the emperor's command. Everyone simply froze when they heard his command, and they were wondering if they had heard him correctly, but when they saw the emperor's expression, they knew they had. 'A-A ruby emerald…!' It is regarded as one of the world's most valuable gems. One stone of it may cost half of the budget of a lesser kingdom, and as it matures, it becomes stronger than metal. All of the people know this, it is just basic knowledge. So, it's understandable that they were taken aback when they heard the emperor's decree. 'Getting a ruby emerald is near impossible! And he wants it by the time of the princess' banquet!' Tristan, who is the emperor's aide, already knew who would be tasked to get the ruby emerald. It was inevitable for him, who decided
