Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter I Chapter 5

Stay in his study room. Ernard lowered his head while massaging his forehead. "It looks like Miss Alicia's Mana Heart is unstable and most likely when she awakens her Mana Heart will disappear." Said one of the priests at the time.

When I told Alice to hold the Mana detection stone that day, I knew that this would happen. He has completely lost his ability. Benak Ernard's.

"Dad doesn't have to worry about me. I'll accept whatever happens. After all, this was also due to my mistake. If.." lf..." Alice turned her face and then turned to look at Ernard and reassured him. "I'm fine Dad." Clearly while smiling.

Given that his own daughter had no problem with the loss of her Mana Heart, Ernard was a little relieved. But doesn't that mean that Alice will live just like the ordinary people out there who can't do magic? He was very competitive with his sister. When his sister is better at magic than he is. Alice threw her anger at the servants. Is he going to be okay in the future?

After knowing that. Ernard immediately ordered Hubert to keep information about Alice's disappearance of Mana Heart awake and not widespread. For the sake of keeping Alice from the slurs of the nobles out there. Ernard had to lock this out from the outside.

Elsewhere in Strongfort's residence. Busy waiters often talk about Alice's change. Not only his speech but also the attitude and aura he exuded seemed completely different.

Alice now felt so warm and friendly. He did not even forget to pay attention to the small things on every employee he met. Whether from their health, their family or their circumstances.

"You know not? Miss Alicia gave me a wound balm?" Start a conversation with one of the maids who was tidying up the kitchen utensils.

" Wound balm?"

"Yes. That time Miss Alicia accidentally saw a burn on my hand."

"Then, then?" Compact some other waiters.

"He told me to go to his room. Well, I thought I had something wrong or was going to do it but it turns out Miss Alicia just wanted to give me this balm." His words were full of pleasure to show Alice's gift.

"The best quality balm from the Lombard company is now on the rise."

"They're..."

"You want? Said you could come to him if there was a problem or something happened."

"really? Looks like miss really changed huh?"

"What I said. That Miss Alicia looks like a goddess now"

"Yes right. A smile can make a person melt and as he walks, he really looks graceful and charming I think I fell for him."

"I agree with that."

When Alice woke up, her life changed.

Enjoy a warm tea with the aroma of honey and a little lemon juice in a small gazebo in the flower garden near his room. Alice seemed to fall in love with the place and made it her favorite place.

The afternoon breeze was so comfortable that it hit his face. "I want to play a flute or a lute" he murmured.

He remembered that he used to spend a lot of time on the edge of his lake while playing a flute or lute. Alice smiled to herself as she recalled the good memories of her past. Slowly and all that nostalgic time came filling his head however when he was aware of the man who betrayed him. His heart became sick. Suddenly a bitter taste seemed to fill his tongue.

Alice took her breath. "It's hard to forget. Even though I told myself that it was the past but those memories still stuck" he thought

Inside her palace, Alice was tired of all the political and economic affairs of the empire she had built. He often played his favorite lute on the edge of a pond or lake not far from his palace.

When the string sounds are picked it starts to play the melody. A heavy footstep approached him from behind.

"Little Zhou" Call familiar Alice who was then Lan You Nian

"Teacher. You run away from a task?"

"Come little Zhou. Let your teacher enjoy his life too" Candanya.

"Then let your disciple accompany you."

You Nian smiled "Good, good. Come here." Come here."

Under the full moon, the two shared a melody. In harmony and rhythm creates such beautiful music. Yun Zhou occasionally glanced at You Nian, fascinated with his teacher sitting while picking a lute beside him. Yun Zhou did not know what to do. Feelings of like or love may be towards the teacher is not a problem but it is taboo if between men and women. Yun Zhou did not want to be a presumptuous and unfilial disciple to his teacher.

Yun Zhou could only blame fate for being born as his disciple and harbored that feeling.

But what about You Nian? Deep down, You Nian also felt the same way. But with their status. Both of them could do nothing but break the taboo.

Alice's feelings were mixed up after recalling her past. He held his chest which was a little painful.

"Miss, did something happen?" Mary asked after she saw Mood Alice suddenly change. She had seen Alice's face so calm and relaxed that she now saw Alice in distress.

" no. There was nothing" Reply Alice shook her head.

" Oh yes Miss, the day after tomorrow it looks like Miss Iris is coming home."

The iris? My sister? I almost forgot. If he usually comes home once a week or occasionally in a month if there is time.

Iris Lein Strongfort's. The second daughter of the current Strongfort family. Known as a genius skilled in lightning element magic. When he was only twelve years old he had reached level 4 where he could create magic without having to use the media.

The magician level is divided into several levels, ranging from the lowest level one to 7 which is the current highest level.

Level One or beginner, where a magician can already feel the surrounding mana. At this stage the novice magician was more focused on controlling Mana.

Level Two, novice magicians begin to learn to imagine and create a type of magic according to their Mana Heart element match. Second-rate magicians still needed a medium to create a magic.

Tier three, those with Mana Hearts at this level could already create advanced magic, both in terms of attacking and defending.

Level Four, witches don't need any more media to create a magic. They just need to cast a spell. That was because the Mana condensation in their bodies was so high and they were increasingly expert at controlling the Mana flow around them.

Level Five is when the magician is already truly an expert and can create magic without the need to do any good.

Levels Six and Seven are said to have created high-level magic that would destroy almost any kingdom if they were serious. True or not, in the kingdom of Solus has not been heard of anyone who can step on that stage.

But rumor has it that the owner of the magician tower is a sixth-rate expert.

After hearing Iris' name, Alice's body slightly jerked in surprise.

This feeling...? Afraid?

She and Iris did not get along, especially for her former self. Envy and envy made him start separating himself from his sister.

Iris herself saw Alice slowly starting to change, she felt that her brother was no longer useful and unreliable. Sometimes they throw their faces away when passing each other and sometimes Iris makes threats against Alice by using light magic.

Given that Iris attacked him several times with electric shocks. His body seemed to know to give a reaction like what he had to meet with Iris.

Alice turned towards Mary

" really? I can't wait to see it." His words were full of smiles.

Yeah, that fear only applies to the old Alice. For him now, Iris is currently a sister that he must care about. Wishing to have a family in a former life. Now he really has it plus a little sister.

"If I remember, he used to be a jolly boy and used to stick to me." His mind. Alice chuckled as she placed one of her hands in front of her mouth. "I wish I could make it back to how it was then. Well. It's also my fault for staying away from him that time."
