Chapter 73: Your Mother Called Me
She couldnโt believe she almost forgot. The winter often brought severe weather with it and many of the villagers lacked the experience and expertise to traverse questionable conditions on the water to get to the islands. The test island would be fine; the residents there had adequate water, shelter, storage for food...

Chapter 72: Hiding Like Weโre Criminals
โIf we get into a fight, I want Hart.โโSonia, no.โ Tori closed her eyes and took a deep breath. โWeโre not going to get into a fight.โ Even if itโs outside of school, Iโm sure instigating a brawl, especially with those people, will get us in trouble, if not expelled and that is the last thing I need r...

Chapter 71: In the Face
It mustโve been the muffled sound of the horses pulling the large carriage or perhaps the slight creak of the wood, but Tori tilted her head and rubbed her ear. She was sure she heard incorrectly.โWhat?โ She furrowed her brows and squinted at Axton, who was seated on the bench across from her, Ilyana, and Nanny R...

Chapter 70: Push Aiden Into the Well
This was not the birthday dinner that Tori thought they would be having when she asked Axton if he wanted anything to eat for his birthday. She had been hesitant to ask, as they were eating dinner at one of the poshest restaurants in the empire. Axton told her that he would settle for a frozen strawberry dessert and wo...

Aila's Experiment - Discord
Today is 2/9/22. This invite link will work for 7 days (or at least it should).So, I've had this since December and have gone back and forth on using it.

Chapter 69: Deal With Her Mano a Mano
After having so many first years around the previous week, it felt much quieter now, when they were on their excursion. The upperclassmen and those in her class were able to focus on their training sets without having to stop and instruct the first years. Captain Messer was having a good spar with GG while Master McDou...
Chapter 68: Where Do You Get the Audacity
It was a good idea to keep their supplies from the excursion together. Although Uncle Maurizo took some to Alpine Valley and the twins had brought their sleeping bags and tent when they visited the delta, the items were all returned to storage at Auntie Luciaโs. It made it an easy matter to gather all the items to br...

Chapter 67: I Enjoy a Good Challenge Every Now and Then
โYouโre not wrong,โ Tori said as she lowered her trembling hands. The folded sheet clenched in it was held firm. โMost students wouldnโt spend this much. Most wonโt even come near to spending this much. And it does make sense that there is a limit to the studentโs spending on a singular project. However.....

Chapter 66: Itโs as If He Doesnโt Want to Go Home
The comcry kept pulsing, but Instructor Ignatius didn't answer. Tori let out a little grumble and tried to quell her excitement. To be fair to Instructor Ignatius, he was either assisting with the arrival of the first-year students or working on a lesson plan. Tori slid her finger across the crystal and debated on ...

Chapter 65: You Kids Want a Tour?
Tori froze. She looked up from her drink and stared at JP. โHow much money?โโI donโt know,โ JP said. โBut it was enough for her and her father to get into a very intense argument at the inn. Our neighbor works there and said they had to paste a silence charm on their door and around the floor because they w...

โNo!

Chapter 63: You Told Me You Loved Me
There was a specific kitchen that prepared all the food for hired workers, imperial knights, and volunteers from Universitรฉ. It wasnโt far from Toriโs tent and when Nanny Rey was with her, she would prepare Toriโs food there. Until Nanny Rey returned, the cooks at the staff kitchen, who were villagers Tori hired...
Chapter 62: We Cannot Let Him Become Distracted
โMatthieu-Philippe.โ Tori thought the General looked like Piers, but as he greeted the Emperor in a surprisingly annoyed, if not cold, voice, she thought he sounded more like Sebastian and Kasen when they talked to Piers.Maybe itโs an older brother thing? Tori wrinkled her nose a bit. Perhaps the General also tho...
Chapter 61: This is Some Fairy Tale Sh*t
โSo, he did.โ Piers didnโt sound surprised. It was more as if he were agreeing with her observation.Tori narrowed her eyes. She didnโt expect Alessa to be there. Most students who werenโt locals arrived one or two weeks before school started. In addition, for Alessa to be there now, she mustโve either only ...
Chapter 60: Don't Listen to His Negativity
Just because she was nice to people did not mean she was seducing them. If Sebastian wanted to lecture someone on being careful with their words and actions, so as not to mislead another party, he shouldโve lectured Piers. Tori had huffed that she was not seducing Piers, or anyone for that matter, but her brother jus...
Aila's Ramblings - 1/20/22
Okay, guys, wish me luck! This weekend, I've planned a escape room/treasure hunt for one of my best friend's kid's birthday. It's my first time coming up with such a thing and I got my brother and friends to help with ideas, but I will be the 'host/guide', so I'm kind of nervous that there 1...
Chapter 59: We Wonโt Be Doing That
Goddammit, Piers, have you no regard for your safety? Tori wanted to scream at him. Piers knew Sebastian was coming. It wasnโt a secret; sheโd told him herself. She ground her teeth together. Never mind that, Tori. Focus.She needed to defuse the situation at once, and without showing any favoritism towards Piers. I...
