1st daughter of the Reign Duke Family, Merry De Lenn Reign, the smartest of the Reign’s
Month 5th, day 20, year XXX. Morning
Inside the Reign’s training area.

FUCK! GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! THAT FUCKING BRAT! She’s getting more and more attention from father and everyone! How did she captivate many lowly servants in one day! She’s stealing father’s attention and affection from Professor Grey! At this rate, no one will notice me and Linux will inherit the family! Additionally because of the help of her highness Cristabel, his fame and followers are increasing more!

His already managing the fief! And I, on the other hand does not! I even heard something from my personal dresser, Rica, that Steph will be given a fief after she graduates from the academy! How unfair! If Linux inherits the family, I will be nothing more than a servant serving the family! 

Sorting all the rumors which focuses to what had happened yesterday, it seems that Steph made a pitiful display and made Grey’s affection grew for Steph. That lowly brat! I’m sure she planned this with her personal slave!

Since Grey will be teaching at the Mystesia Academy (Demiurge kingdom’s proudest academy) and without a doubt she will become the next headmaster and so, it’ll give Steph more privilege when she enters the academy! What a cunning bitch!

Holding my want that was given to me by the wandering mage hero, Grey. I chanted my magic to strike down the dummies before me.

“I beseech! A power from the fundamentals and unknown origins, manifest [lightning] to destroy my enemies before my Reign!”

The lightning manifested at the tip of my wand and a thunderous roar followed. It echoed through the entire training area as it blinks and moves violently. I wave my wand with an intention to destroy the dummies.

Almost instantly, the lightning strikes the dummies, making it burst out open and left no piece behind. A small shockwave made in the process.

I have grown a lot stronger thanks to Mage Hero Grey’s gift, if only I was her student, I would certainly be a 1st rate mage just like her or even be her disciple! 

All of a sudden, I came to an idea to destroy some important things that belongs to Step. If only Father didn’t took a liking on that piano, I would have destroyed it by now. Then, I remembered that Steph always hangs-out in the library. So, I quickly stride towards the library.

There must be books that she likes, and since I was on my training battle suit, a very slim long sleeves and has a color of jet-black with a Reign’s crest at my back, and paired with a tight short. There is no problem at running.

Passing through multiple pathways and corridors, I  arrived in front of our library. This was once had been used to us and the lowly servants, but when that creepy brat starts to hang-out here a lot. Many people decided not to set foot at the library.

I proceeded inside the library, it was dead silent and dark. Windows from the bottom are all close, blocking the light from the outside.

The light can only enter at the ceiling that was made out of Glass and the upper window that was opened. A ray of light showered down at the center of the building. It was creepy and made me shudder.

The bookshelves were cleaned and arranged properly, it’s weird that the library itself was clean even though there was no one maintains it.

Closing the door behind me, the atmosphere instantly change. It was like a dungeon. The feeling of being isolated and distorted starts to overwhelm me as there was something heavy pulling me down to the ground. But still, I was strong enough to stand. I took out my wand, which was attached to my back where there was a pocket for wands was.

I walk down the path with dim lighting and arrive at the center of the building. A round marble table was built, but some chairs had gone missing. No, since I was scanning the chairs, my gaze lock to a beautiful cat that was sleeping under the table.

A blondish cat that Steph wanted to take care of. I was shocked by the fact it was still alive for many years, Steph must have properly took care of her. This is perfect! I can’t wait to see Steph’s expression! I wonder if it will change!

“I beseech” I begun my chant. “A power from the fundamentals and unknown origins, manifest [lightning] to destroy my enemies before my Reign!”

The lightning instantly strikes the blondish cat and turns it into dust. I can’t wait to see to see Steph’s expression when she sees her cat had turned into charcoal, the feeling of joy delighted me.

The white smoke mixed with black risen up, but on that smoke, a face of a woman was made. It rose up as it glares at me, her face was familiar even though this was the first time we met.

Looking at her made me feel guilty and sorrow. The feeling at delight fade away as it was replaced by regrets, she whispered 

“Be delighted for you are Steph’s dearest sister and friend,  I will not punish you from destroying my vessel”

Her voice!? I immediately recognize who she is. She’s the Spirit Queen that protects our territory! I shuddered in fear, I had committed a rude and disrespect to the Spirit Queen! Not only that, I have destroyed her physical form!

Once the protection disappears and her presence, the monsters that are neutral inside our territory will become aggressive and will over run our towns and villages. It’ll create a massive stampede to each town and village and we won’t be able to protect them at all! All this because of my impudent action!

I didn’t know that Steph’s cat was the Spirit Queen! Did she knew this fact? Or was it an accident that she stumble upon without knowing? Wait, what did she just said!?

“Dearest sister and friend?” I unintentionally blurted it out.

She will not punish me because of Steph? The Spirit Queen’s smokey form has disappeared already and I was left with dead silent. Was it because of Steph is taking care of the Spirit Queen? Was it really?

I feel frustrated and disappointed in myself, I was saved by my sister even though I antagonize her a lot, despise her, give her unreasonable treatment. I feel weak and naturally sat at a nearby chair, even though I know it was useless to win the heredity, I still didn’t gave up and took my frustration towards the low.

I wonder who changed me. I pondered deeply into my feelings, only to know that I was way too prideful. I wonder if the people that I treated something close to a peasant and trash, would they forgive me?

I was not bothered by the heavy atmosphere anymore, in fact I thought it was pleasant and peaceful. No wonder Steph always hands out here a lot, I wonder if she always feels like this? Sadness, hopelessness and despair. I have to be thankful for her personal servant, Rachael.

I give up on chasing the heredity and instead, I will have to change for the better good. As I was indulging myself to this pleasant feeling, I heard a scream that was really familiar, but I don’t know how it was.

I stood up with haste and immediately left the building. The scream went for a brief second, but I knew it was at the main house, so I quickly stride inside to the main house in order to search whose scream it was.

“Help!!” It was clearly Freya’s voice!

Did the Spirit Queen punish her instead of me? My mind went completely black, while my ears was bothered by my throbbing heart.

“Someone help!” She screamed again, but this time she was really desperate.

And this time I was able to determine where she was. Running through corridors that can let me arrive faster as possible.

Once I arrived, I was in front of Steph’s room. It was completely open, I wanted to enter the room, however I saw Father was also coming here while being accompanied with several guards.

“What’s going on?” He asked.

“I don’t know, I just heard Freya’s scream which made me worry and lead me here.”

Without giving a response to my answer, Father entered Steph’s room without warning and I followed from behind. We both look around, only to see a door beside the bathroom door. It was a new door that I haven’t knew it existed. No, there should be no door other than the bathroom is built here!

Looking at Father’s reaction, wide open mouth and eyes. Apparently he doesn’t know about this either. The door had the same appearance as the bathroom’s and was already opened. Father came inside the new door without fear nor questioning it. I continued to follow him behind.

Inside the new room led me into shock. It has -
