The sumr breeze was filled with a refreshing sll of the flowers blooming, the earthy sll and the birds chirping along the sounds of the leaves swaying with calmness.
It was a perfect day to spread a picnic sheet in front of the lawn and bring so refreshnt or get a sunbathed while hanging the bedsheet in the wooden hanger that was placed in the sunniest part of the house.
It has been four years since I left the Kingdom of Levingstone.
The fourteen-year-old girl that was known to be spoiled and haughty are now living peacefully in the forest of Corora in the Kingdom of Perspiru.
The Kingdom of Perspiru was big enough and had a lot of towns that I wasn't afraid that Silvester would pop up without warning.
And besides, I kind of heard from the town folks that he was preparing to receive a coronation to beco the King.
He had a fight with the other factions for the past four years and he eventually defeated all of them and now he's preparing to take the seat.
It was bloody. That's what I can say.
But I was relieved that he succeeded. He's the youngest to be crowned as the King of Perspiru as said in the history if I'm not mistaken.
Well, I actually don't know this part. The novel didn't state what happens after he leaves the Academy.
And I was occupied with my own bad ending that so details were deleted from my mories.
And for ? What have I been doing for the past four years? Well, it's quite ordinary but a bit busy if it was compared to the life I have in the Emsworth mansion and the Kingdom of Levingstone.
I have fights here and there, finding special herbs for my cure, slain monsters and practicing my magic spells. It was quite the four years of life that I had after I ran away from my own wretched fate.
I beca a coward after learning that I can't change the story. So, the decision that I ca up with was
Damn the story! I'll live my own life! And so, here I am.
Here no one knew who I was. My hair that was attention grabbing was changed into a common color, the chestnut hue. Thanks to Chrisfold. My eyes change too, it matches my hair.
I changed my na as Gil suggested. I go by the na Adelyn - My real na back in my first life.
When Gil heard what I ca upon he just shrugged and told that it was good and didn't question why I ca up with that na.
I an no one would know the reason why I picked that - that it was from my past.
"Adelyn! Co here!"
"Okay Just wait a bit! I'll check on the laundry first!"
Also, the stifling, heavy dress that I usually wore in the mansion and the academy were gone and only the light fabric dress with so stains and dust can be seen swaying in the sumr air.
And by the way, I never knew that when I reached the Sushu mountain, I'll be able to see a handso young man with silver grey hair that goes to his waist and his smokey grey eyes, he was a beautiful being that welcod where a small cabin can be found at the top of the mountain.
When I first saw him with that look of a young man calling a child, chills ran down my spine.
We looked like we were the sa age but when I learned that he passed the age of 1000, my eyes shook!
Well, it was to be expected because I heard the spirits will have a human form when they pass the age of thousand years. Still, I was shocked with his immortal beauty.
He was wearing a kimono like fabric, it was loose and different to the ones aristocrat use or the commoners but what's weird is that it fits to his refreshing aura.
I never knew that Gil is living here while he telepathically communicates with . I just thought that as he was my spirit then he would be in a dinsion where he will be able to chat with without a worry.
And seeing a young man with handso features and his majestic aura as a contracted spirit isn't so bad.
And he can help whenever I need it, I was angry when that one ti, during my mana leakage he just vanished into thin air.
I eventually learned that he was injured because he protected during the tournant.
There was actually soone aiming at my life and using Vallen to kill while "he" used his dark magic to kill without anyone knowing. And Gil, only sensed the magic at the last mont and he received the attack by absorbing it.
Well as it seems obvious, the "real" attacker was more powerful than he thought because I also received so backlash.
It was my mana leakage that resulted from my mana cap breaking to the point that I will die if I didn't get to repair it.
I was angry that sothing important was kept hidden from but when I looked at it, Gil was just protecting .
I thought that it would be best to terminate the contract that we have if he was injured because of . I can't afford to let soone die or be hard just because of how nave I was, but what he said shocked more.
The black ring that I wore was actually the contract, it was not an ordinary ring. It actually was a special stone that can be the dium for my contracted spirits like Gil and its powers.
No, I can't even try to break the contract without it. If I rember I left it in the storage house. I wonder if it didn't lt along with the tal hilt.
Now I can't use Gil's powerful magic without the ring in my hands. At most, I can summon low level spells, but not the dium-tier and advanced spells.
I sighed.
"Adelyn! I said co here!"
"Wait! I'll tidy this up!"
After I settled for a while living with Gil, and him telling about why he suggested escaping before the hunting event finished. It was quite shocking.
He said that the one who hurt a few years back was there and "he" was also the one who hard during the tournant.
But we still don't know who it was, Gil said that he had a different appearance if "he" can infiltrate the school. And Gil can only sense his dark aura.
I have a gist on who it might be. But I still want to make sure before I make a move.
But the list of people that I need to be wary of were still the sa.
The Royal Family and Elise.
The primary suspect of Evelyn's demise in the story.

"Cassandra, what is it?" I asked.
We were inside a wooden house in the middle of the forest. Well, to be precise. It looks like a cabin for a sumr vacation during sumr camp.
"Here the last dicine for your mana cap." She said.
After leaving the Sushu mountain with Gil to find Cassandra, we found her in the middle of the forest of Corora in the Kingdom of Perspiru where a lot of high-level monsters resided. We found her a year and a half later.
The information that Cabel gave that she was in the town of Reginia were half right and half wrong. She was there but also vanished. When we searched for her there, her tracks were already covered.
That was the reason why we had to search for her for one and half years. It was a relief too that Elise didn't co to find Cassandra for potion for her magic. Why? Because I leave traces in different places and lead them to the Kingdom of Krasnolud.
Thinking about how Gil, and I didn't get enough sleep to reach her house and the never-ending slaying of monsters sent my stomach to twirl.
It was also a hassle because her house was covered with barrier and illusion magic that added to the nights that we lost in the forest and killed more monsters.
While I was reminiscing about the past, Cassandra handed a vial bottle.
"After this, your mana will be restored, and we can undo the spell that binds your mories to the depth of your consciousness."
I gulped my dry saliva when I heard that the long wait will be over.
Opening the cap, the bitter sll of the potion swift my nose. I scrunched up when the sll hit my nose.
"Don't be picky! You've been drinking that for almost three years." She said.
"How can soone be accustod to drinking an indescribable, bitter, black potion that you made?" I said as I complained but still opening the bottle that was sealed by a cork.
As I looked at Cassandra's appearance, her thin glasses that stayed in her tall nose and her black hair that was tied in a low bun, and her droopy purple eyes that gave a sense of wisdom when you ca across it.
As well as the warm aura that she emits. No one would think that she was the witch who knows a lot of curses and has been living for a long ti.
