    Ok so this is what I understand from then manhwa
    Mc's mother died when she was born so her father brought in his lover and her child(female) into the house and the family has a rule that the successor being male or female would alternate every generation. So this gen a female was to be the successor and since mc's family do not want her to be a successor they make her grow up as a boy and give her some kinda poison that stops her feminine features from growing. So after that she's kicked out of the house but on the way stole a ring tht is the heirloom of her maternal family (btw her stepmom is her mom's stepsis so that's why the heirloom is there) because her stepmom threw her mother's necklace into the campfire and so she goes to an inn and in anger breaks the heirloom(which is not supposed to be broken) and drinks some poison or smth and goes to sleep to die. Then she meets the vina people in her dream and when she wakes up they come searching for her because she is the 'seal' that can break the restriction of life and give them immortality but in turn mc also has to become immortal and not die cause if she dies they will too. Welp this is the premise

    omg thank you for explaining i was really confused about what was happening after she drank the poison and entered that weird dream world and suddenly formed an alliance with those random people, this really cleared it up for me.

    So i'm guessing the story will be about fl developing as a person on her journey to immortality with her new friends, and her family getting what they deserve in the process rather than it just being a revenge story.

    Well she could have done that from the beginning. The 5 people she is bonded too are not ordinary folks. Each of them are so influential and powerful that they could easily destroy the family with a snap of their fingers. But she says no, not that she forgives them but Because she says they are not worth it. She even told the step grandmother that if they so much as look for her. She will destroy them.

    Honestly by this point MC is immortal (as they've performed the ritual) and she's also living with some very rich and powerful people. Not to mention that all the Vena are emotionally bonded to her (this is something that would happen with whoever breaks the seal). If she becomes her old family's head then it would be weird seeing that she doesn't die, not to mention that she doesn't really need it.

    From what I understood MC went ahead and went to take the job that her father had initially sent her to do (I'm not sure why given that she's super rich but I guess she still wants to feel normal). the vena family have a mansion close to her workplace (the embassy) and everyone moves there.

    Her neighbor comes while she's chilling in the garden, greets her like a girl (revealing that he knows her gender) and decides to smooch her cheek like a creep, for some reason she doesn't find this weird at all (maybe she's too shocked to do anything). Then we find out he works in the embassy too and agreed to not reveal her real gender to everyone. Juli comes in and he gets in an intense staring contest with the neighbor dude.

    There is also a murder mystery that the embassy has to solve. Also when they were performing the ritual earlier a golden light appeared and no one knows why.

    So far this is what I understood from reading the manhwa. if anyone understood anything else or has any spoilers please feel free to share them cuz i really wanna get what's going on.

    The story of the protagonist, who lived as a man, meets the weak man and gradually begins to live a proper life.

    The main character, Alcheris, was originally born with all the conditions to become a legitimate heir to the family, but is discriminated against because she is a woman. At birth, the father, who had already seen an illegitimate daughter between his mother's half-sister and his mother's half-sister, was annoyed by the main character who was born as a woman and made him grow into a man. Alkeris lost her mother immediately after she was born, and her stepmother (mother's half-sister), father, and grandmother[1] , was brought up under the bullying of a half-sister. Forced to live as a man, Alkeris gradually grows into a man by taking a poison that prevents body changes and makes him infertile.

    Alkeris received knight training as a knight, but failed the examination for joining the Knights Templar, and eventually was abandoned by his father, who is a central nobleman, and went to work as an office worker at the embassy case 2 in Bishatsur, a neighboring country.[2] Before going to Bishatsur, Alkeris, resentful at having his mother's locket stolen by his stepmother and putting it in the fireplace, left his hometown with his stepmother's cherished ring to end his tedious life at an inn where many suicides are said to occur. Break the egg by stepping on the ring excitedly (...), then take a sleeping pill and fall asleep.

    Falling asleep, Alkeris sees something like five movies. In fact, the jewel that Alkeris broke was a medium that could be linked to the Vina people through an oath. The Vina are demigods and have a lifespan of 300 years, and if entangled by a pact, their lifespan becomes immortal. . All of them were exceptions, eager to show their presence. The reason I saw 5 movies that was absurd is because there were 5 Vina tribes to swear by. After waking up, Alkeris encounters five people at the inn: Heliciad, Paician, Mahoren, Shang-Lodihara, and Jurius.[3]

    They turn the heart of Alcheris, who was about to end his life by suicide, and go to Bishatsur, where he was appointed. On the way to Bishatsur, at the dormitory where he stayed, he encounters the maternal grandmother who poisoned Alkeris. And the last medicine she gave was poison that would kill her. After seeing the Vina people who were angry at Alcheris who had fallen after taking medicine, Alcheris changed his mind and made a pact with the five Vina tribes.

    After successfully solving the labyrinth and infiltration cases in Bishatsur, with the breath of Faisian, she goes to see a martial arts event jointly hosted by Cheiva and Bishatsur, the homeland of Cheiba. It is a bonus to be invited to a banquet that is held with the martial arts party. There, thanks to Pasian, he receives the second invitation and is announced as the heir to the Boizana family, the maternal one, and the oaths execute the Book of Judgment that clears the frame that Alkeris had put on before. Meanwhile, the stepmother and half-sister are toured. However, when other Vina tribes and pagans met at school suspect Alcheris is a gold alchemist and attempt to kidnap him, his maternal grandfather, Count Boizana, throws himself to stop him and dies. And Alcheris's powers are manifested, and Alcheris resurrects her maternal grandfather without self-consciousness, and disappears through the door opened by the infidels.

    After returning to his consciousness, Alcheris is found in a small body on the beach of Bistrea in the eastern continent.

    Alkenyl lease


    hero blind and Herzegovina stands of five-setters in this work, the expression yineung Now, the main non-Schatz Le Che Bar Embassy events and two clerical staff.
    Brown hair in the wall. She is a beautiful woman with a neutral charm. He has good language skills and can decipher various characters. Thanks to the constitution passed down through the maternal line, drugs and poisons do not work well. Learned from an old friend, he plays the billiard very well. 23 years old. Nationality: Cheiva Empire. Real names are 'Alkeris in Vojjana', and 'Alkeris in Baliars'. Originally, it should have been 'Alkeris in Baliars' using the parent's surname, but the mother's treatment for this child was not good, and her maternal grandfather looked down on Alcheris's mother, so he had his grandson use the last name of Voizana. . As a woman disguised as a man, if it turns out that the original Alcheris is a woman, the line of succession of her mother and father's family will all go to Alcheris. To be precise, he is already the heir of the maternal family, but he will also become the heir of the parent family. Originally, he would not be able to inherit both families at the same time, but his maternal grandfather, Count Boizana, decided to expel his youngest daughter, stepmother and Arisinia, from the family, and Arisinia invited a pagan thing to the banquet hall. Although it was announced in front of the emperor that he was the heir of the Boyzana family. And if you reveal that you are a woman, you may be forced to marry Say Styrene, a former friend of yours. Count Baliars, who is the parent of Alcheris, can rise to the position of head of state by changing gender one by one, but Count Baliars, who already had an illegitimate daughter, makes him grow up as a man because Alkeris, who was later born as a woman, was bothered by him. Perhaps something bad had happened with Alkeris' mother.
    He is an ally of the five Vina tribes, Heliciad, Pasian, Mahoren, Shang-Lodihara, and Jurius, and thanks to this, Alkeris gave up his thoughts of suicide and was able to live. In particular, Mahoren is overflowing with money, so he built a resort with a swimming pool and a movie theater near the embassy in a month and lived there. They went to the school for an infiltration operation, but at that time, except for the absent Jurius, who heard that Alkeris was going to school, all the Vina tribes went as escorts or professors and pretended to know them, so the meaning of infiltration disappears and becomes more prominent. The name she used at school was 'Alice in Pelod'. The Pelod family is a descendant of Sir Amiel's main family. And at a banquet held during the Mutuhoe period, the Vina tribes open an ancient trial called the 'Book of Silence' to clear the frame that has been tormenting Alkeris for a long time. During the banquet, the supernatural power is awakened and disappears through the door without self-consciousness. The disappeared Alcheris is found on the beach in Bistrea in the eastern continent in a small body. Due to the manifestation of his supernatural powers, he turns blonde.

    Pei sieon
    one of the five known Kerry Su rain Group signed a pledge. The Eastern Grand Duke of Cheiva and former commander of the Guards Division. The older brother of Empress Cheiva.[4] The King of Chang.
    blonde hair and blue eyes. he is a very handsome man good at cooking. 260 years old. Nickname is Fay. There are two names used in Cheiva, 'Paician Jean Buraus' as Grand Duke of the East, and 'Paician Van Euclière' when disguised as the commander of the Guards Division. It is said that it has been 10 years since the acting of the Grand Duke of Dongbu was introduced. A person who has risen to the status of a king in terms of spears, he is famous even in other countries. He has a gentle and aristocratic personality, but he gets on his nerves when it offends him or is related to Alcheris. This one is stronger in physical than magic.
    When Alkeris, who works at the embassy in Bishatsur, infiltrated the St. Dahlia Girls' School on business, he accepted the Empress's request to be the escort of his nephew in order to see Alkeris. When those who have a crush on Alcheris at school send a letter to the Vichatsur embassy, they use their power to collect the letters. This is because he has an affair with Marquis Arusto, the ambassador to the State Bishatsr Cheiva. I invited Alkeris to a banquet held during the Mutukai, and this was the second invitation that only the VIPs could receive.
    At the banquet, when Alcheris disappeared through the heathen gate, the best taste was gone.[5]

    Shang

    Lodihara One of the five Vina tribes who made an oath with Alkeris. He is the owner of the assassination guild 'Jugrener' and has the status of heir to the Tower of Knowledge and the Sage of Chrome. It is also called the heir of the atelier.


    Sleep in silver hair. There are tear spots under the eyes. is a thrifty man 280 years old. Nickname is Shandy. Chrome was the main activity. He has a soft tone of voice, but when he gets scared, he becomes infinitely scared. When Alkeris was put into the stealth operation, he joined the swordsmanship department as a guest professor through the connection of Heliciad. Perhaps this one is also stronger against physical attacks than magic.

    Mahoney Allen
    one of the five known Kerry Su rain Group signed a pledge. notorious usurer[6] The god of interest and the upper world. The master of gorgans all over the world.
    Gray hair and silver gray eyes. A mature man with a fine white beard, possessing a kind impression. 253 years old. The youngest among the five, but the oldest in appearance. Maybe that's why Alkeris said he wouldn't be able to use half-words. His name is 'Mahoren Ilen Gorgan'. Nickname is Ren. Rabam in the eastern continent was the main activity site. When it comes to money, your eyes are turned. It is excellent to swear with a kind face as an insult. A magician with a good body, he has physical abilities as good as magic. He gave Alcheris a bracelet that could use magic with more than 9 precepts. The person who set up a resort near Alkeris' work site in Bishatsur within a month. While Alkeris was infiltrating the school, he escorted the daughter of the head of the Bishatsur branch.

    Jury Earth,
    one of the five known Kerry Su rain Group signed a pledge. The knight chosen by the goddess.(...) He is the leader of the armed forces for Wilka. Among the five Vina tribes, they maintain friendly relations with Wilka.
    He has black hair and a pale face. insanely handsome However, whether it is a balance or not, the temperament can't keep up with it. However, changes are seen, such as paying more attention to the main character. The main character started talking nonsense to him without his permission, as if he was remorseful for what Jurys treated as the king of the flies. 270 years old. The knight chosen by the goddess is set for external use. His name is 'Juris Ab Mura'. Nickname is Juri. Perhaps because he maintained a friendly relationship with Wilka, the coat of arms of the temple is embedded in the shuttle. A fan of the occult, horror and mystery. The armed group it possessed has been transformed into an occult group.(...) When I first saw the protagonist, I was summoning the Fly King. So, in the beginning, the main character was treated as a summons. He has the Silver Spinion clan as his summons, who seems to have the ability to summon them, so it's difficult to summon them. It is used by putting magic bullets into the gun. Instead of being comfortable, it seems to consume a lot of horsepower. You seem to know a lot about this ability. When Alcheris proclaimed with them, he had a guess as to why it was golden and reading the ancient letters of the floating castle. He didn't go to school because he wasn't there during the infiltration operation, but while Alkeris was locked in the floating castle, he couldn't contact him through the seal, so he pulled the shuttle and drove him to the castle that Haan, the Crown Prince of Haan Seongguk, Sommelier Shell Isnaihum Haan, kept in reality for a while. Abandoned it, the castle was again distorted in time and space, and as a result, it had to be afflicted by other Vina tribes for a while.
    The 'Book of Judgment' was held at the banquet hall, and when Alcheris awakened, he found out that he was a gold alchemist. When Alkeris disappeared through a door opened by a cultist, he surprisingly maintained his most sane state. However, when he saw the smaller Alkeris, he ran away.(...)

    Hell stylish Adnan
    one of the five known Kerry Su rain Group signed a pledge. The newest among the 9 official horse towers and the most destructive power, the Hexard Shewood. With destructive power, no one can keep up. So it seems that Wilka is also of caution.
    Green eyes with pink hair. She maintains her youthful appearance by magic. It's because he has a Lolita complex, and maybe that's why he's dreaming of becoming a harem. When he first saw the main character, he said as if ignoring that he was a no-tan. And he made a medicine to see Alkeris' young appearance, but it failed because Alkeris was not good at taking medicine. However, the drug remained in the body, and when Alcheris' ability was revealed, it showed efficacy, and Alcheris' body became smaller. The Queen of Bistrea, who saw Alcheris's reduced body, said that it would be better to keep a distance from the person who made the medicine. He is 283 years old. This is a magic attribute rather than a physical attack. However, the healing system did not receive it, so after crying, my eyes became swollen.

    A summoned
    beast of Jurius who made an oath with Poppy Alkeris.
    A senior summoner, the Silverspinion clan. This species is, to be honest, a feline bird. Haven't grown up yet. The silver hair is so long that it smells like fur, and Alcheris rubs it to get peace of mind. He likes to drink, and he reveals what to eat. You can use magic, you can make a voice, you feel like a boy. His real age is a boy in terms of human age. It is said that he was called 'young bastard' in his hometown before being summoned by Julius because of his original personality. However, after being summoned by Julius, things got a little better. According to Pasian, the improved personality is docile enough.

    Incident 1 aka Case 1
    Affiliation with Case 1 of the embassy where Corylint Alkeris works. A half-breed fairy whose mother is a fairy. 3 next door to the main character.
    Purple hair and gray eyes. 19 years old. Refreshing smile. His real name is Corylint Jean Apelurus. Seeing Alcheris disguised as the possessor of a beast-like sense, he immediately recognized that it was a woman. He has a filthy personality, probably because he was trying to balance his appearance like Jurius. But even that is loved at the embassy. Although his swordsmanship is inferior to that of his older brother, he is at the level of soju. The owner of the summoned beast, Senju. Like his brother, he is looking for a gold alchemist.

    It's from namu. Be careful it's an MTL. So probably those who read this didn't understand.

    Hell yeah, thebMC recognize as the heir of her mom's family. Meanwhile that shitty half-sis didn't have the requirements to become the heir. Half-sister mom is just adopted, father is a trash.

    Al's mother, who was born by his maternal gra ndmother, and Al's aunt who became Al's step mother, daughter of the current wife of Boizana, who came in after her death. And his half-sis ter Arisinia, who was born to his stepmother, is the heir to Al's parent, the Baliarsga. It is not yet clear why the father hates AI's mother, but it's presumed that there must be a misunderstanding as the mother who appears briefly is a sickly young girl. The half-sister's inconsiderate behavior is very punchy.
    And Al's special ability, character interpretatio n, comes from his maternal grandmother's blood. The Golden Alchemist and his descendants, the Ajie family. Surprisingly, what does Ajie Y oungae, who resembles an egg, mean? What is the recently found portrait of your grandmother and the secret of loranes written there? And what about the gold alchemist, the king of the heathens? Like an onion that comes out when you peel it, the secret that continues is enough to hold your breath. The secrets related to bloo d and the inner side of the egg, which is maturing in the process of uncovering him, are in harmony with the events.

    I hope to god theres no romance here, the tags are really confusing. Some has reverse harem and romance in it while the one i read on just has adventure in it.

    I just hope that everyone just stays as family, everytime romance comes in stories like this it becomes the hyperfocus of the crowd and plot :(

    Can anyone provide links on the manhua raws? Newtoki doesnt have it :(:(

    Hilder / Hilter = has brown hair and blue eyes and looks young (his ability allows him to see others’ emotions), (has good intuition)


    Corilint = a man with a wavy purple hair and silver eyes (his mother is a fairy and his father is a human duke), (the third son), (younger brother of Ameil), (a summoner), (he was originally fated to be the sword of the golden alchemist), (fell in love with Al at first sight and realised right away that she is a woman)


    I divided it roughly to make it more organised.

    Enjoy! :blobgift:

    A new mission came where they needed to infiltrate an all girl high school to guard and observe a young lady(I thing her name is Nabi/navi/naviera? i’ll just call her Navi) who might be the golden alchemist.


    (The golden alchemist only appears in the descendants of the Ioranos family who are also the descendants of the first golden alchemist, Navi’s grandmother was from the Ioranos family but ran away in order to marry the man she loves, the Ioranos family were very closed [they even had marriage between sibling in order to keep their bloodline pure and monopolies it so that the golden alchemist would come from their family]).


    The people who were chosen to go were Shun, Ilina, Ameil and Corilint.


    As it was a girl school, Shun was required to dress up as a girl and Ameil would enter the school as his escort.


    Everyone felt frightened and prayed for the safety of their eyes while Shun kept protesting to no avail.


    Shun tried to shave his leg hair in front of Al, Mino and Ilina and they all freaked out and threw things on him.


    Ilina beat him up and Al erased all the sympathy she had for him.


    Shun went with Ameil, as Ameil’s make up artist will help in turning Shun into a woman.


    According to Ameil, the make up artist said that it was impossible no matter how talented they were, Shun was a man of all men (lol).


    When Shun’s photo of cross dressing reached the higher ups, they replied with ‘stop messing around’.


    Captain Ong suddenly looked at Al and asked her to show her leg.


    Everyone looked at her and she felt scared of what going to happen next.


    She showed her leg which had almost no hair at all.


    Everyone said that she passed while Al thought in her mind that she doesn’t remember applying to any test.


    Now Al had to dress as a woman and go to school instead of Shun.


    Shun wondered out loud why Al had no hair leg.



    ***


    Al told the vinas except July who was busy with his work outside that she had to leave for work in a few days.


    She was surprised that they reacted calmly.


    What she didn’t know was that Ren went to call an acquaintance and threatened him into finding a way for him(Ren) to go into that school.


    On the other hand, Chang-Di asked Heli to help her go into the school as well and in return she will help Heli in making the potion that will make Al a child, Heli who was planning to enter the school as a professor immediately agreed.


    Finally, Fay contacted a princess(he was originally the guard of that royal family) and he would go as her escort.


    ***


    Al didn’t tell the Vinas that she was going to cross dress.


    She went with Ameil to take a photo of her cross dressing and send it to the higher ups.


    A problem happened and the model who was going to shoot an advertisement left when Ameil refused to give him attention.


    Al was asked to film the ad instead and she agreed without much thought (which she was going to regret later).


    ***


    Al read the list of student and found the name of her step sister along with the name her childhood friend.


    (Al had only 2 friends who were siblings and the children of a duke, after something happened they cut their relationship, a year later, the brother proposed to her step sister and they got engaged)


    (I think the sister’s nickname was Fin while the brother’s nickname was Shes/Sess)


    Al was shocked to find the childhood friend’s name but was surprised that she felt calm.


    ***


    Chang-Di found the names of Al’s childhood friend and step sister and was enraged (she knew them from he investigation of Al).


    She wanted to kill them all but knew that Al was smart.


    Al would immediately figure out that it was the doing of one of the vinas once something happens so she had to hold it in.


    Chang-Di hoped that they wouldn’t meet at school.


    ***


    The day came and Al entered the school as a student and dyed her hair black and changed her eye colour to grey(or was it black?).


    She and Ilina pretended to be sisters.


    Corilint was Ilina’s escort.

    Al was shocked when she first saw Heli as a magic professor while Heli was shocked to see Al dressed as a girl.


    Heli was more shocked that Al didn’t look strange while cross dressing, rather, Al looked really pretty, there were many young ladies who kept glancing at her.


    ***


    Al met Ren who came as a student’s escort.


    ***


    At the dorm, Al was shocked to find Bobby(Joli’s summon) in her bag as he shrunk to the size of 2 palms.


    Bobby who was found, asked with teary eyes “are you going to throw me away?”


    Al who was enraged really tried to throw him away but eventually calmed down.


    She called all the vinas through the seal (the seal the appears on her hand when she makes the declaration that makes her not affected by life span along with the vinas, it has the function of allowing them to talk to each other like telepathy) and then used the bracelet given by Ren to teleport to their home.


    While waiting for them, she ended up sleeping.


    ***


    Fay was the first to arrive.


    When he saw the sleeping Al, he was so shocked that he covered his mouth with his hand.


    Al who was sleeping on the sofa was wearing a girl’s school uniform.


    He carefully moved towards her and observed every part of her body.


    Thinking that others would see her dressed like this made him feel suffocated.


    Before he knew it, he was kneeling in front of Al in order to see her face properly.


    He touched her hair and brushed it a little to see Al’s face properly.


    He was obsessed with staring at her sleeping face when he suddenly heard Al calling the name ‘Sess’ in her sleep.


    Fay’s eyes turned sharp as he knew whose nickname that was from the report when Chang-Di suddenly appeared and sat beside Al.


    She explained that Al’s childhood friends and his step sister are all in the school now.


    Fay’s eyes were cold at her words.


    She hugged Al as she whispered something along the lines that they are the only ones Al needs and she shouldn’t care about anyone else.


    ***


    Al woke up as she heard Chang-Di calling her.


    Al saw that everyone was here. (BTW, Juli is still working)


    She apologised for sleeping when she was the one who called them but they said that it was alright.


    Al suddenly asked them if they forgot something.


    They didn’t understand.


    She asked them about Bobby.


    Ren and Heli looked around them while Fay and Chang-Di didn’t show much reaction.


    Al said that Bobby sneaked in her bag and is currently in the dorms.


    All the Vinas were shocked.


    Al asked pleadingly, in what position did they enter the school so that she wouldn’t get shocked any more and asked them not to talk to her because she in the school undercover and can’t attract attention.


    They all felt guilty and confessed.


    Fay came as an escort.


    Chang-Di came as a temporary sword professor.

    Al was observing their target, Navi, as she tried to befriend her with Ilina.


    Al saw her childhood friend, Fin and her brother who came with her as her escort.


    Al was surprised that she didn’t feel anything.


    She suddenly heard Chang-Di’s voice through the seal, asking her if she was okay.


    Instead of answering, Al looked at Chang-Di and smiled brightly.


    After turning her back and continuing to walk, her childhood friend, Sess, called her.


    Al was surprised that he recognised her but acted as though she didn’t know him and told him that he got the wrong person.


    Sess was surprised and tried to grab Al who wanted to walk away when Ameil and Corilint stopped him.


    Ilina also defended Al.


    In the end, they separated.


    ***


    During an outdoor lesson, an explosion happened.


    Al protected the young lady beside her and used the bracelet.


    On the other hand, Ameil rushed to protect Navi.


    When the explosion ended, Corilint rushed to Al and asked her if she was okay.


    Al thought that people who see this would think that her guard was Corilint and Ilina’s guard was Ameil.


    Al was worried about Heli and contacted her through the seal, luckily, Heli was in the magic tower.


    ***


    At night, Al couldn’t sleep so she went out on a walk.


    She met Ameil and was surprised as his dorm wasn’t very close to here.


    Ameil started talking about himself.


    His mother is the younger sister of the fairy king.


    She fell in love with his father and wanted to marry him.


    The fairy king agreed to the marriage under 2 conditions.


    In the future, they will have 3 children.


    The must train their children so that the first would become a sword for the owner of the necklace.


    And the second and third children would become the sword of the golden alchemist.


    He assured Al the his parents realised him with love.


    Ameil has always been excited to meet the golden alchemist which was why he joined the investigation team and became a model.


    It has been his dream since childhood.


    He apologised to Al for running to protect Navi instead of her despite being her escort.


    Al said that it was alright.


    Ameil said that what happened kept bothering him and promised to protect her first properly next time.


    He then took off his coat and put it on Al.


    Al wondered if he actually forgot that she was a ‘man’.


    Ameil asked about Sess.


    Al asked if Ameil heard rumours about her.


    Ameil nodded.


    Al thanked him for treating her without prejudice.


    She briefly explained that Sess was her childhood friend.


    That an accident happened and he cut off their relationship.


    A year later he proposed to her older step sister and got engaged.


    A few thing happened and they are now strangers.


    Ameil said that Sess seems to not think the same way as her and that she should talk to them as they might bother her again.


    As they separated, they both didn’t realise that there were 2 figures watching them.


    ***


    The next day, in the cafeteria, Al was suddenly called by Chang-Di.


    Chang-Di acted as though she didn’t know Al and fixed Al’s ribbon.


    What Al didn’t know was that Chang-Di was sending killing intent towards Ameil.


    Ameil immediately realised that Chang-Di wasn’t a human and was sweating.


    Chang-Di was purposely acting intimate towards Al to show Al’s childhood friend, Fin.


    (Fin has a crush on Al and feels jealous towards Chang-Di ever since Al smiled sweetly towards her).


    ***


    Fay, Ren and Heli met at the school.


    They were going to the cafeteria when they met a woman and a silver haired man.


    The woman was a sign and the man was her Vina.


    The woman treated her Vina as a servant and he obediently listened to her orders.


    She talked flirtatiously to Fay and talked about how much she wanted him to be hers.


    She said she was sure Fay doesn’t have a sign yet because there was no way that was the case when he was with 2 other Vinas.


    The 3 Vinas didn’t understand but as though they agreed beforehand, they didn’t show it and waited for the woman to say the information herself.


    Apparently, there has never been a sign with more that 2 Vinas in order not to break the balance.


    The only exception was a sign who wasn’t a pure human and had 3 Vinas.


    The 3 Vinas were shocked.


    They used the seal to communicate with each other asking if they knew about this but that was the first time for the 3 to hear this.


    The woman started crossing the line with Fay.


    Fay threatened her to break her if she continues this.


    The woman was scared and the silver haired Vina protected her.


    As she watched them leave, Heli said that she is glad Al was her sign.


    The 2 Vinas agreed


    ***


    Al and Ilina became closer to Navi.


    They used Bobby to get even closer to her.


    During observation, Al noticed that Navi who was reading books looked a little desperate.


    Navi invited Al and Ilina to perform together.


    (There’s an event where every girl is required to show a talent in front of the audience. Every group can choose to show something deferent).


    Ameil was disappointed as he didn’t feel anything about Navi.


    He wondered if the only way is when Navi awakens her power as the golden alchemist.


    He remembered his older brother, who became the sword of the owner of the necklace.


    He asked his brother how he realised that that girl was the owner of the necklace.


    The reply he got was that he just felt it when they met.


    Ameil who was expecting some grand meeting was disappointed.


    He asked if Navi was going to sing because he remembered his mother telling him about how talented the golden alchemist with music and that they were even called the golden performer.


    Al and Ilina shook their head, Navi was going to play an instrument, Navi’s friend was going to sing.


    ***


    While Al was returning to the dorm alone, she saw Ilina who seems to be suffering from a panic attack.


    Al helped her calm down.


    Back to the dorms, Ilina told Al about her past.


    She is from a fallen noble family.


    He parents committed suicide leaving her who was a baby. Her nanny raised her by herself.


    Ilina who had a talent for magic entered the magic tower.


    She worked under a master who had a very good reputation but abused her behind closed doors.


    One day she couldn’t take it anymore and beat her master almost to death which led to her being expelled from the magic tower.


    He nanny went to argue which led to a high ranking wizard conduct an investigation just in case.


    Unexpectedly, many of the master’s bad deeds were revealed. To add, all his identifications were fake.


    The master was expelled and put on the black list making him an enemy of all wizards.


    Ilina said that she saw that same master in this school so he might be a pagan.


    Al decided to ask Chang-Di to investigate him.


    ***


    While walking alone, Al heard a voice calling her, it was her step sister.


    She recognised Al right away and started arguing.


    Al was tired of her and told her that she doesn’t care anymore, she can have it all.


    Suddenly, they were called the crown princess of another country.


    The step sister tried to get closer to her while Al couldn’t care less.


    She just wanted to leave.


    She was surprised when the crown princess said that ‘Alice’(the fake name Al was using at the school) wasn’t her real name.


    Unfortunately, the crown princess was interested in Al and said that her gut feeling tells her that she would be able to meet her enemy if she sticks to Al (I think the “enemy” is a pagan).


    As Al felt as though she would lose her mind between the 2 who were arguing with herself in the middle, someone called Al.


    It was Fay.


    He asked worriedly Al if she was okay.


    Al was terrified why he was talking to her NOW.


    Behind him came a princess from another country.


    The princess who saw Al got excited (she realised that Al was Fay’s sign).


    The step sister was amazed by Fay’s appearance and tried to get close to him and the princess.


    The princess talked.


    And Fay ignored them all.


    And so, a war of words with Al in the middle started.


    ***


    Al was on the verge of crying while going through a mental breakdown with Ilina, Ameil and Corilint.


    Ameil, who saved her from that ‘hell’ laughed as he said that, in a way, getting into trouble like this is some sort of talent.


    Corilint laughed as he comforted Al by giving her some juice.


    Al never wanted to go through that again.

    The day of the performance, there was a dance.


    Ilina saw Navi there and grabbed Al.


    Al couldn’t stop her.


    Ilina stood beside Navi and looked for Al.


    Al quickly went to the men’ side.


    Ilina was speechless but suddenly remembered.


    Al was a ‘man’.


    So the was no way Al knew how to dance the girl’s part.


    Al felt relieved that she wasn’t the only girl standing in the men’ part.


    As the dance started and Al’s dance partners changed, Ilina became Al’s dance partner.


    Ilina apologised for this and Al said that it was alright.


    Next was Navi.


    Navi told Al that her friend who was supposed to sing caught a cold.


    Al was speechless.


    Navi asked Al to sing instead and it was fine even if the performance wasn’t the best.


    Next was Ren (yeah, you didn’t read it wrong, it’s the vina with a beard, Mahoren).


    Al was speechless but more shocked by how Ren danced the female part perfect.


    She couldn’t help but wonder what Ren did in his younger days.


    Next was the childhood friend, Fin.


    Fin tried to talk to Al but Al made it clear that there was nothing between them anymore.


    Fin started crying.


    Al felt sad, she didn’t want to see her cry like this.


    The next and last dancing partner was Chang-Di.


    As they talked, Chang-Di told Al to smile at her.


    Al noticed that Chang-Di was doing this purposely in front of Fin.


    Still, All did what she asked.


    ***


    At the time of the performance, Al quickly memorised the lyric.


    She was so nervous and frozen as she walked to the stage.


    She couldn’t hear anything.


    Suddenly, the voice of her vinas reached her.


    ***


    At the audience seats, Fay was sitting beside the princess.


    Chang-Di was sitting with some students.


    Ren and Heli were arguing.


    Heli brought posters of Al, prepared a recording device and even asked her men to hold a huge cloth with Al’s picture on it.


    Corilint who watched the 2 Vinas laughed as he said that they looked like a fan club.


    Ameil laughed as he agreed.


    Ameil figured out that the 4 Vinas live together with Al. He wondered how they ended up live together and thought that Al was like walking time bomb.


    At the end of the first, second, third… performances, everyone excitedly clapped.


    But the 2 vinas clapped lifelessly with eyes which seemed to die of boredom.


    They wait for Al’s performance to come and wondered why it didn’t come first.


    Chang-Di was annoyed, why did Al’s childhood friends come here?


    She wondered what to do when it was finally Al’s turn.


    She was confused to see Al holding the microphone.


    Wasn’t Al going to play an instrument?


    She noticed how tense Al was and before she knew it, she shouted.


    “Honey! Cheer up!”


    Her voice was quickly buried by Ren and Heli who were cheering Al with all their might.


    (They had everything a cheering squad needed, from the slogans to the banners)


    ***


    Al calmed down when she heard her Vinas cheering her.


    She started singing.


    At the end, no one clapped so she felt a little depressed.


    She had no idea that her performance was so amazing that no one was able to wake up and remember clapping.


    Ren excitedly asked Heli if she recorded it and Heli excitedly said that it was properly recorded.


    Corilint’s face was stiff as he asked Ameil if he heard Navi playing.


    Ameil’s face was stiff.


    (They could only hear Al’s voice which could mean that Al is the golden alchemist but the doesn’t make sense as Al doesn’t have even a single blood from Ioranos).


    Suddenly someone gave Chang-Di an envelope, it was the investigation of Ilina’s master that Al requested.


    As she read the report, Chang-Di face changed.

    After the performance, some girls including Al were called to sightsee in an old castle.


    Ameil and Corilint quickly caught up to them.


    Al was shocked to see that her childhood friend, Fin and her step sister followed them.


    She wanted to talk to Fin and scold her for coming here without her escort when Ameil grabbed her.


    He told her that they shouldn’t get separated and that she should tell him if she wants to go somewhere.


    Al thought for a moment and decided not to go to Fin.


    The person who was guiding them was a woman and a silver haired man.


    What Al and co didn’t know was that that woman was a sign while silver haired man was he Vina.


    (They are the ones who met Fay, Heli and Ren).


    The woman asked the girls to read the ancient words on a stone.


    After they read the words, the structure of the castle started changing.


    The woman smiled and said “as expected, it’s one of you”.


    (The castle won’t be activated unless the owner of the necklace or the golden alchemist read the words. The owner of the necklace wasn’t here so one of the girls who read the words must be the golden alchemist.)


    ***


    Outside, the old castle started floating as a barrier formed around it.


    Many gathered around it in confusion.


    The dean and many high ranked wizards tried to enter.


    Ren came and shouted at the dean for not investigating his staff properly before throwing Chang-Di report to him.


    The dean’s face went pale at the evidence that one of the professors was a pagan.


    Heli tried to destroy the barrier but Fay stopped her.


    They didn’t know what might happen to Al who was inside if the barrier broke.


    The Vinas despaired when the crown princess of another country intervened.


    She had a way to enter the barrier, she first explained that everything inside the barrier became a deferent space and that time flew differently.


    ***


    Al woke up and found herself in a locked room with Ilina and Navi.


    Bobby was with them using invisibility magic.


    Al tried to contact her Vina through the seal but the connection was blocked.


    A golem came and gave them a book.


    If they materialise what is in the book, she would let them out.


    Al and Ilina realised that they are trying to find the golden alchemist (One of the golden alchemist’s abilities is to materialise words).


    After a few days, there was no progress and for some reason Navi’s condition seemed to get worse.


    Al sent Bobby out to gather information, the floor they were on and number of rooms.


    The golem suddenly appeared again and told them to follow her, if they can do what she will ask them to do, she will let them out.


    Al secretly sent Bobby to inform Ameil of what is happening.


    ***


    At the same time, Ameil was locked in the same place with other escorts.


    Luckily, Corilint summoned his summon before entering so it was with them using invisibility magic.


    Corilint sent his summon out to know the floors and the rooms the girls were locked in along with the passwords for each room.


    Suddenly, Bobby appeared and told them about how all the girls were being gathered to the same place.


    Ameil immediately moved the escorts and escaped the room in order to help Al and the girls.

    Outside,


    The crown princess explained.


    She will remove the barrier for 2 minutes.


    They must touch the castle AT THE SAME time so that all of them can enter the space together.


    If one of them was even a little bit late, they won’t be able to enter.


    The 4 vinas took stances, prepared to run at the same time.


    They looked at each other, obviously making sure that they will arrive at the same time.


    Finally, the crown princess removed the barrier.


    As the 4 vinas were about to move…


    A battle airship rushed and bumped into the flying castle.











    The man who came out of the airship was someone they knew.


    Heli shouted “THAT BASTARD! HOW DARE HE CUT IN THE LINE?!”


    Ren shouted as well “WHERE DID HE STEAL THAT?!”


    The 4 Vinas’ hearts were united to kill that man.


    After calming down they all agreed to beat him to death if he returned with Al hurt even a little bit.


    ***


    Al and the girls were gathered in a big room.


    The woman was there, along with another woman who was a sigh and her silver haired Vina.


    The woman told the girls to read the words on an old stone.


    She forced the girls to read one by one but none was able to read it, all the girls trembled in fear and cried.


    When Ilina, Al and Navi were left, Ameil and the escorts appeared and started fighting the golems.


    Al protected the girls using the bracelet given by Ren and threw magic beads to help in fighting.


    But the golems regenerated no matter how much they broke them.


    It was then that the silver haired Vina started intervening.


    Bobby said that the silver haired Vina reminded him of July which made Al realise that the silver haired Vina was a Vina.


    It was then, the wall collapsed due to an airship.


    A man came out.


    It was Juli.


    Juli’s subordinates also came down.


    Juli destroyed all the golems in his way and walked to Al and shouted.


    “You! What’s this?!”


    Al was confused, how did Juli come? And what was he talking about?


    It was then that Juli took a picture from his subspace and thrust it in front of Al. It was a picture of the advertisement she filmed before.


    Al screamed in shock and quickly took the picture and sealed it in her subspace.


    Juli said that he has more.


    Al was determined to seal them all.


    Juli said he would listen to Al’s excuses later.


    Taking out his gun, he fired magic bullets at the golems and easily destroyed them.


    The silver haired Vina started fighting him.


    In a fight between 2 Vinas, the best way to win is to target their sign.


    Not wanting to be Juli’s weakness, when the other sign asked if Al was a sign like her, Al denied that and said that she and Juli are friends.


    The silver haired Vina’s sign was annoyed and said that it didn’t matter as long as Al was special to Juli then ordered the silver haired Vina to fight.


    Juli fired a bullet with protection magic at Al and then focused on fighting the silver haired Vina.


    When a chance came, Juli fired a teleportation bullet and teleported behind the silver haired Vina’s sign.


    Pointing his gun at the sign’s head, Juli threatened to kill her if the silver haired Vina moved.


    When the silver haired Vina obediently got captured, Juli smiled like a villain and said that he likes the magic gun even though it uses too much mana because he can hit others on the back of their head.


    ***


    After everything was organised, Juli, who was looking around the room, suddenly called Al and moved his hand in a calling gesture.


    Al hated coming to him because it felt as though he was calling a dog. She hated it more because everyone’s attention was on both of them. Nevertheless, she responded to him and asked him why he called her.


    Juli told Al that they need to read the words on the stone in order to go up where the power source would be.


    By destroying the power source the barrier would stop working and they would manage to leave.


    Juli told Al that if they go up, Al must stay right beside him no matter what.


    If Al wondered around, she might turn into a beggar like last time.


    Al tried to protest that she didn’t look like a beggar last time but couldn’t argue back against Juli.


    Juli told Al that he was wary of the guy who made this castle.


    Al asked Juli if he knew who made the castle.


    Juli said that he didn’t since the castle was built before he was born, he heard about it from his friend.


    Al was shocked.


    “you have friends?!”


    Juli asked if Al was being rude.


    Al immediately denied that.


    Al asked if one of them was the golden Alchemist.


    Juli looked at Al and said that it wasn’t Al.


    Al for some reason thought that his words sounded as though it must not be her.


    Suddenly, Juli sneezed.


    He wondered who was cursing him (definitely the vinas outside lol)


    Al said that no one was doing that.


    Juli doubted that Al be secretly cursing at him.


    Al went to help Navi.


    Navi’s condition worsened. When Al touched her to ask if she was okay, her condition seemed to have gotten better which surprised even Navi herself.


    Al’s step sister who followed Al’s childhood friend who followed Al her (am I the only one feeling weird writing this??) finally started making trouble, twisting her words making it seem at though Juli was locking them here.


    Fortunately, the girls and their escorts listened to Al and Juli’s explanation and understood their current situation.


    When Al’s step sister kept trying to pick up faults, the girls and their escorts started looking at her with annoyance which made her shut up.


    Al started translating the words on the stone along with Navi.


    After they finished translating it, they took turns in reading the words.


    (Which later lead to the confusion of which one of them was the golden alchemist).


    The path to the upper floor opened.


    They decided that the girls would stay here since they don’t know what would happen in the upper floor.


    Al’s childhood friend, Fin, tried to come with Al.


    When Al tried to stop her, Fin said that the others can just protect her if something happened.


    Al was speechless at Fin’s selfishness.


    She ended up scolding her coldly before going up.


    ***


    Outside, Ren asked the crown princess if she can do it again.


    The crown princess said that it was impossible because she already did it once.


    The crown princess was scared of Ren and took a step back.


    She unintentionally bumped into Heli.


    Heli was sitting down looking at the ground as though she lost her soul, muttering “our Juli. How should I get rid of him?” And many other scary things.


    The crown princess concluded that she must avoid Heli who is known as the magic tower master with the strongest destructive magic.


    When the operation failed, the 4 vinas were covered with gloomy air which made those who knew their powers want to stay as far away as possible.


    The first to regain his senses was Fay.


    He said that he trusts Juli to protect Al which calmed the other Vinas a little. However, the words which followed made the temperature drop.


    “If he has conscience, he would return Al with no injuries.”


    (Ah Juli ah. Why did you cut in the line and dig your grave?!).


    ***


    On the way Al saw many words on the wall which looked like decoration.


    While she was trying to read them, Juli stopped her and told her secretly through the seal to not read anything anymore and to not help Navi in translating.


    Al didn’t understand why he was telling her not to do any of that but eventually reached to the conclusion that it was so that she wouldn’t interfere with Navi who is most likely the golden Alchemist.


    (There was a Juli POV where he was doubting that Al might be the golden alchemist and was trying not to let anyone else know since things would become troublesome once Al becomes a target).


    There were some ghost like monsters which were very fast.


    Juli kept firing bullets at them but they easily avoided them.


    Juli got irritated and started firing faster which made the ghosts look like they are having a hard time avoiding the bullets now.


    Juli was fed up with this and stopped.


    Al looked at the wall and felt that a word stood up.


    As he read it, he saw the word move.


    Suddenly, an arrow of light appeared and fired at ghosts which killed them all.


    At this sight, Ameil got so excited he grabbed Al from the collar and choked her.


    Ameil asked what/how Al did it.


    Al couldn’t breath and was in pain.


    Suddenly, Juli pointed his gun at Ameil in a cold face that Al has never seen before and threatened him to let go of Al.


    Al felt miserable why Juli was pointing the gun at Ameil instead of helping her get out of Ameil’s grip.


    Ameil said that this was none of Juli’s business.


    Juli said that he is Al’s “guardian”.


    Al was so shocked and against this that she shouted repeatedly in denial despite not being able to breath.


    Ameil and Juli looked at Al as though she was some strange creature.


    Juli was dumbfounded and ended up telling Ameil to let go of Al again in a voice that lacked energy.


    Ameil finally let go of Al.


    Seeing Al who kept inhaling and exhaling with difficulty and desperation, Ameil was confused but kept apologising and patting her back.


    Al decided to forgive him because she knew how important the golden alchemist was to Ameil.


    The power to materialise words was one of the golden alchemist’s abilities and Al seemed to have used it.


    Nevertheless, Al believed that it was like a trigger word.


    The power was in the word on the wall and if anyone read it, it would materialise.


    (She still didn’t even doubt that she was the golden alchemist).


    Juli helped Al up.


    He removed the ribbon around Al’s neck and tried to expose her neck.


    Unconsciously, Al slapped Juli’s hand.


    Al realised what she did late.


    It was a habit to try to hide her gender (since she doesn’t have Adam’s apple). She didn’t purposefully try to hide her gender from Juli whom she trusted but she couldn’t easily get rid of the habits she grew up with.


    Al didn’t inform the vinas of her gender because she thought it didn’t matter, they would eventually find out.


    (She plans to reveal her gender once her step sister marries or become the head of the family so that she could be free from her father’s family).


    Al wanted to apologise to Juli but felt strange when he looked at her with no expression at all.


    Juli asked Al what he should do with Ameil.


    He believed that what Ameil did led to her having a trauma which was why she slapped his hand.


    Al tried her best to convince Juli that she was just sensitive about her neck being touched in order to save Ameil.


    After everything calmed down, Bobby suddenly asked.


    “Isn’t he going to kiss?”


    Al wondered. Was she hallucinating after suffocating?


    It wasn’t only Al, both Juli and Ameil froze and moved like broken machines as they asked what Bobby meant.


    Al screamed that she almost died.


    Juli said that when they are back he would take Bobby to have and eyesight test.


    Bobby explained, he thought that Ameil was going to kiss Al when he grabbed her but then he thought that Ameil wanted to kiss Juli as well when they glared at each other.


    Bobby then commented that Ameil was too much to want to have flowers in both hands(Al and Juli).


    Bobby’s innocent words were like disaster for the 3 of them.


    Everyone around them laughed while the 3 looked as though they lost their souls.


    Al suddenly felt Ilina’s gaze and wondered why he was looking at her when it dawned to her, Ilina loves BL. And she thinks that Al is a man…


    Al decided to stop thinking.


    Due to killing the ghosts, they managed to get to the top floor where the power source was.


    As they were looking for it, Juli warned Al again and this time Al promised seriously due to what happened before.


    They finally found the power source.


    Navi read the words written on it.


    The power source broke and light burst out of it.


    Everyone thought that the power source stopped except Juli who suddenly grabbed Al’s arm and groaned.


    “Why does it have to be this guy?!”


    The light started forming words.


    Juli kept telling Al not to forget, don’t read anything.


    Even Corilint grabbed Al’s other arm.


    He begged it not to be noona(Al).


    In the end, Al read the words and suddenly her eyes seemed out of focus.


    She walked forward and read everything.


    (She is now not completely conscious).


    A figure appeared in front of her, it was the one who made the castle.


    Only Juli who was linked with Al through the seal could see it.


    Juli was angry at the man and told him that Al has no obligation to satisfy his regret.


    Apparently, the man had a regret which was why he made this castle and only the alchemist of gold or the owner of the castle can activate it.


    He wouldn’t let them leave unless Al promises to release the seal.


    (It was confusing here, I think it’s about god having children and one of them was sealed? The man wanted Al to promise to release the seal).


    Juli was angry why this man didn’t just die and leave a will like this.


    The man said that Juli can curse him but he bet everything on this moment, even if Juli is a Vina, the barrier won’t be removed without the man’s permission. And Juli can’t win against him who is already dead.


    Juli felt glad that only he and Al can hear and see the man.


    Still, he was worried that the pagans might turn their attention to Al.


    The man waited for Al’s answer.


    Al who was in an unconscious state suddenly talked.


    “I want to go back.”


    “Where?”


    “Home.”


    When he heard these words, Juli finally gave up and whispered to Al.


    Juli told Al to agree, he and the other Vinas will help him, let’s go back home.


    Finally Al agreed.


    The barrier disappeared and the castle returned to the ground.


    Because of the sudden movement, Al who easily suffers from motion sickness ended up vomiting on Juli’s clothes before losing consciousness.


    Juli was flustered and tried bless Al but she stayed asleep.


    ***


    As everyone returned happily, the moment Heli saw Juli who was carrying the unconscious Al, she shouted Fay’s name as though she was waiting for this.


    Prepared, Fay ran to Juli and snatched Al.


    Then, Ren and Heli started beating Juli and cursing at him.


    Juli said that Al was just tired and explained what happened after the castle started returning to the ground.


    The vinas calmed down a little then started blaming him again, how tired was Al to fall asleep just like this?


    At this, Juli tried to desperately wake Al up.


    At this action, the vinas were enraged and beat him more asking him why would he try to wake up a tired kid.


    Seeing their unreasonableness, Juli stopped trying to explain himself and laid on the ground saying that he doesn’t care anymore and told them to do whatever they want.


    Juli’s subordinates were shocked, this was the first time they see their captain pushed back like this which made them touched (lol poor Juli).

    Al woke up in her room with Heli beside her so she thought that she was dreaming.


    Seeing Al not replying to her Heli shouted.


    “This is all because of Juli!”


    Juli replied that Al was still half asleep.


    Heli pinched Al’s cheek.


    Al suddenly realised that this was reality and tried to remember what happened.


    The last memory she was when Navi finished reading the words on the power source.


    Al asked how what happened.


    Heli explained what happened and Al speculated that the 4 Vinas’ identity was revealed.


    Al asked how come she is back home.


    No one answered.


    Al turned pale.


    “No way, don’t tell me that you took me back without saying anything?”


    The silence of the vinas was the answer.


    ***


    While watching TV, every time a supporting character appears, Ren and Heli would call that character Juli.


    When Al looked at Juli, he had the face of someone who gave up.


    ***


    While alone, Juli suddenly came to Al.


    “Like a fool a suddenly remembered why I ran out of Wolka(the organisation Juli works in)”


    Al wondered why Juli was smiling so much like a villain when she suddenly remembered.


    Picture!


    Al was so shocked she tried to stand up but Juli forced her to sit down by pressing her shoulders.


    Juli asked about the picture again and Al screamed.


    Al dragged him to another room and explained what happened and asked him not to tell the others.


    She was feeling shy and the picture felt like a new page in her dark past.


    Juli said that the other Vinas will eventually find out.


    Al said she wanted to enjoy the little peace she has.


    Juli smiled like a villain and told Al.


    “Be nice to me.”


    Al almost punched him in the stomach.


    (Later, Juli will harass Al a little by asking her to bring something to him and the like).


    ***


    Ilina gave Al a book as a gift.


    Al didn’t think much about it and put it in her bag.


    Back at home, Bobby was searching for snack when he found the book.


    When he read it, he screamed which led to all the Vinas coming there.


    When each Vina read a few pages of the book, they screamed, threw the book or solidified.


    The book was a BL story of Al and Ameil.


    The Vinas called Al and asked him about this book was in his bag.


    Even Fay looked at her coldly without an ounce of the usual gentleness.


    Al didn’t understand.


    Chang-Di grabbed Al and kept shouted that it can’t be Ameil.


    ***


    Al asked Ren to fix her pendant which she got from her mother.


    When Ren heard that it was a memento of her mother, he touched the pendant as though it was a treasure and promised to fix it.


    ***


    Al’s uncle sent her a letter to meet up.


    Al went there and the uncle was surprised by how much she resembles her mother.


    The uncle want Al to inherit the family / become the successor.”


    Al refused at first but started hesitating when the uncle said that he didn’t want anything to go to the step grandmother.


    This hinted that the uncle knows that that the step grandmother was the one who killed the grandmother.


    Al wondered why he was staying still without doing anything.


    Al asked the uncle to give her some time to think.


    (Note: the uncle doesn’t know that Al is a girl.)


    ***


    On the way home, Al was feeling quite depressed.


    She wished her current quiet life style would stay the same but she couldn’t keep that.


    Suddenly, someone called Al’s name.


    It was Fay.


    He quickly walked to Al and held her shoulder in his hand and looked closely at her face.


    Al was embarrassed because they were close enough for their lips to almost touch.


    She tried to step back but Fay’s hand was holding her firmly.


    Fay said that Al looks cold and took a scarf he just bought for her then clumsily put it on her.


    Al asked what the big envelope filled with small envelopes Fay was carrying was.


    Fay avoided answering.


    Al thought she saw the fake surname she used at the school when she cross dressed but then thought that she was mistaken and didn’t ask about the envelope again.


    The moment they got home, it looked as though Fey was running away.


    After resting a little, Al decided to tell the Vinas about what happened to her today and consult with them about what she should do.


    The Vinas were surprised by the sudden story of succession.


    The first to open their mouth was Chang-Di.


    “Honey, Is there a private escort for the successor apart from the family knights?”


    “Yeah, why?”


    “The private escort position is mine!”


    All the Vinas woke at these words and Ren and Heli started fighting on the Al’s mage position.


    When Al said she hasn’t decided yet, Chang-Di said that it would be better yo accept it since there are many advantages.


    Al was still hesitating.


    ***


    After making sure that Al was sleeping, The 5 Vinas gathered in a secret meeting room.


    This room was a secret because even they had an “image” to protect.


    They were obviously angry at Al’s uncle.


    They talked about how they indirectly caused trouble for Al’s mother’s family.


    (They prevented them from selling things or buying things and a few more things.)


    They did many things secretly and indirectly so that Al wouldn’t notice anything.


    Fey revealed the contents of the envelope he had.


    There were many letters addressed to “Alice”, the name Al used at the school.


    Obviously, many tried to make a connection with “Alice” as they saw how the Vinas reacted back at the school when Al was locked inside the barrier.


    The Vinas were obviously angry and regretted that they couldn’t just break things like they always did.


    The Vinas were concerned about how the fact that Al was the golden alchemist would affect her.


    (They were mainly concerned about Ameil, especially because of the BL novel lol).


    Chang-Di said it was alright since sometimes, humans become obsessed with one fact and turn a blind eye to what is in front of them.

    Al’s department received to go to Chava.


    (Chava is where Al is originally from).


    (Sorry, I don’t remember why they had to go…)


    Al heard that someone very important will come with them and they should be careful and not talk loudly because they heard that person had good eyes.


    Shun started talking about how handsome that man was.


    Hearing the description, Al started running there hoping that person isn’t who she thinks he is.


    Unfortunately, it was Fay.


    ***


    Al told the Vinas that she was going on a business trip with Fay to Chava.


    All the Vinas except Fay and Juli looked surprised.


    (Juli was going to Chava to watch some match?).


    Then, 3 Vinas talked about having some business so they had to go to Chava as well.


    Chang-Di even said that she and Al are fated since they need to go to Chava at the same time. Al thought, ‘Fate? Do you call purposely going after me fate?’.


    Al then said that she was wanted to hang out with them in Chava but since they are all busy it would be hard to meet (she learnt how to control them).


    Then, they all threw away their acting and confessed that they were free and just wanted to go with her.


    After some talking, they decided to follow Al and Fay with Ren’s airship.


    ***


    Before leaving, the 4 Vinas casted blessings and spells at Al since Al has severe motion sickness.


    In the airship Al’s place was next to Fay, Fay prepared for Al a blanket and a few things to help with motion sickness.


    (Fay was thoroughly taking care of Al).


    As the airship started flying, Al felt dizzy and decided to sleep.


    After around half an hour, Al woke up a bit refreshed without feeling nauseous like before.


    Fay helped Al up and even put some snack in front of her which made her feel embarrassed since he was taking care of her quite a lot.


    She was puzzled by how quite everyone was.


    Shun immediately started talking as though he was waiting for Al to wake up.


    (It seems he was being careful because of what their superiors said and maybe Fay warned them while Al was sleeping?)

    They arrived to Chava.


    Al watched how everyone of her coworkers had a family waiting for them and how they were happy to see each other again.


    Al felt envious and lonely.


    She wanted to see the other Vinas quickly.


    As they were waiting, Fay assured Al that they would be here soon.


    When Ren airship arrive, Heli came running to Al, but because her legs were short, Chang-Di ran past her and hugged Al.


    The quiet place immediately became noisy as the Vinas chatted.


    They went to one of Ren’s houses.


    ***


    The next day, Fay and Chang-Di wanted to hang out with Al to give her happy memories of her hometown.


    While they were thinking, they saw Al on a video call with Shun who was eating with his family.


    (Shun wanted to give Al a gift which was a cream to grow out leg hair which made Al enraged).


    Chang-Di and Fay quickly suggested hanging out to Al which Al agreed to.


    When Bobby shouted that he wanted to eat, Juli was against it, saying that Bobby became fat.


    When Bobby said that it was just his fur while trying not to show his fattened stomach, Juli took out a razor and said that they would see if he had fat or not after shaving all his hair and giving it to Al since she likes it.


    Al screamed and hugged Bobby.


    She never wanted the fur that helps calm her mind to disappear.


    Bobby, who didn’t know Al’s thoughts was touched.


    Seeing this Juli gave up with a defeated smile.


    They went to a restaurant and ate together then went to walk in a park.


    Al was quite happy.


    Then, some woman picked up a fight with Al and said hurtful words toward her.


    The Vinas stopped her and were enraged at her.


    Al calmed them down and asked them to leave the woman.


    After going somewhere quite, Al gathered her courage and told them how she knew that woman.


    Someone hired thugs to attack the woman’s younger brother.


    The thug said that it was Al who ordered him.


    All the nobles believed that and Al’s reputation fell to the ground.


    Al didn’t care about that, what hurtled her the most was when even her childhood friends didn’t believe her and cut their relationship.


    Al then asked the Vinas if they think she did it.


    The first to reply was Juli.


    “There’s no way a pushover like you would do that.”


    It was what she wanted to hear the most ‘there is no way you did that’.


    Al was so touched she almost cried.


    Heli: “we know better than anyone that you aren’t the kind of person to do that. We believe you.”


    Al was very touched.


    Ren: “I believe you, even if it was a lie, I will believe it and make it the truth.”


    Al’s feelings immediately cooled.


    Al asked Ren if he didn’t believe her and looked disappointed which made Ren try to make some excuses but was scolded by the other Vinas.


    Fay patted Al’s head as he said that he believes Al.


    Al tried her best not to cry.


    How much she wanted someone to comfort her like that when even the childhood friends she trusted turned their back on her.


    ***


    After Al went to sleep, the 5 Vinas gathered again.


    Chang-Di was the first one to open their mouth.


    “My kid cried.”


    No one objected to this even though Al didn’t cry.


    The five started discussing how to prove Al’s innocence and take revenge for Al.

    The next day, Al went to visit her uncle.


    While talking with the uncle, Al said she needed to tell him 2 things.


    1, she is a woman. She plans to eventually reveal it so if this family opposes a female family head then she won’t become the successor.


    The uncle showed a shocked face for the first time.


    He was angry, shocked and had many complicated feelings.


    He said that there’s no problem with Al being a woman.


    2, she asked him why he didn’t do anything even though he knew who killed her grandmother.


    The uncle was silent for some time before explaining.


    He thought he didn’t have the right to.


    In their family, they are lucky as money always come to them even when they don’t try hard.


    But they had terrible luck with love.


    At first, he didn’t say anything because the grandfather was devastated by the grandmother’s death and even slept and married the step grandmother.


    He didn’t do anything even when Al’s mother was harassed by them.


    Later, he married a noble woman who already had a lover who she broke up with.


    After some time, it turned out that she was pregnant.


    He was shocked but told her that he would raise the kid as his own child. It was then when his cold wife’s expression cracked for the first time.


    (He thought the child wasn’t his which hurt his wife who was finally opening up to him, yup, the child was actually his all along and everything was his misunderstanding).


    He always felt jealous towards the baby when the wife would hug her stomach dearly, not knowing that the child was his.


    Things happened, under the influence of the step grandmother, the wife committed suicidal by drinking poison and poisoned the uncle as well.


    The uncle who inherited the grandmother’s unique constitution of quickly healing wounds and high immunity to drugs survived the poison but became infertile.


    Just like that, he lost both his wife and child.


    He believed that he didn’t have the right to take revenge.


    The uncle told Al, even when he or someone who wronged her apology, don’t forgive them if your heart doesn’t allow it.


    The uncle suddenly took Al to her mother’s grave.


    He said he was worried Al’s father wouldn’t care about her grave properly so he had her buried here.


    After giving some time to Al, he took her to a room which was filled with the grandmother’s pictures and some of the mother’s pictures.


    The uncle said that Al’s mother really loved her and wished for her to be born safely, she was even the one who named Al.


    Al, who was left alone in the room filled with pictures started crying.


    ***


    On her way back, Al bumped in her grandfather.


    The papers the grandfather was carrying fell and got messed.


    Al took the papers and organised them quickly.


    The grandfather suddenly started talking to Al.


    Al didn’t reply much and insisted on leaving when he tried to keep her here.


    ***


    The uncle was annoyed at how the grandfather suddenly came.


    The grandfather suddenly showed intentions to contact Al and meet her again which got on the nerves of the uncle.


    The uncle was wondering how no one figured out that Al was a woman when he suddenly remembered the poison he took.


    When a little girl takes it throughout her growth, she would grow up without much feminine parts and would become infertile. It was originally given to girls during war so that they can be used as weapons.


    The uncle was suddenly enraged when he realised that the step grandmother has been poisoning Al for years.


    He was suddenly tempted to reveal everything to the grandfather.


    The grandfather’s secretary who has been purposefully keeping secrets and preventing the grandfather from finding out things which might harm his health was looking at the uncle nervously.


    The uncle couldn’t say anything in the end.


    ***


    Back at home, Ren finished fixing the necklace and gave it to Al.


    He asked Al about what is inside the necklace.


    Al opened the necklace and there was a picture inside.


    After Ren left, Al was shocked to read the letters under the picture.


    (She only opened the lid once when she was young but quickly closed it at the shock of seeing a man and a woman who looked like her mother.)


    What was written under the picture was “Ioranos”.


    Al was shocked, why did Ioranos appear here?


    When she put pressure on the picture, the picture moved inside and more words were revealed.


    “My dear sister Angelina, through away your bondage and be happy”


    Al doubted why she never saw any of this before then wondered if someone intentionally eraser all the words but they were restored when Ren fixed the necklace.


    Al kept thinking about what her link with Ioranos was for hours and barely managed to sleep.

    Heli finally finished the rejuvenation potion.


    She first returned to her original appearance (an adult like other Vinas) and then took the potion and turned into a 4 years old child (she usually uses magic to look like a 7-8 years old child).


    She made sure there was no problem then took the antidote and returned to being an adult.


    (Chang-Di was with her, helping her and making sure that there nothing bad would happen to Al it she consumed it).


    ***


    Al was invited to a royal banquet.


    ***


    Al’s grandfather was contacted by Al’s step mother.


    Al’s grandfather asked why he wasn’t told about Al leaving the family.


    The step mother kept making excuses and the grandfather became angry when he realised that the step mother didn’t care about Al.


    The step mother asked the grandfather to come with her in the royal banquet but her refused.


    After the video call ended, the grandfather decided to attend the royal banquet with Al and sent a letter.


    ***


    Heli gave the potion to Al and Al drank it without much thinking.


    Heli kept staring at her.


    There was no change.


    Heli asked Al if she felt any change.


    Al said that she didn’t and started getting suspicious.


    Heli who saw that the potion didn’t work on Al despaired.


    Al realised what Heli did and was angry.


    Al figured out that her unique constitution of being resistant to drugs was still working.


    Al just scolded Heli a little and asked her not to repeat it again and that there was no need to tell the other Vinas about this.


    ***


    Al and the Vinas went to the royal castle and met the royal family.


    Al was nervous especially in front of the princess.


    (Fay was the imperial guard of this royal family and he is also close to the queen enough for her to call Fay “older brother”, he also escorted the princess to the all girl school Al was in. The princess was also the one who talked the most when she saw Al, her step sister and the crown princess from another kingdom.)


    (When Al managed to run away from the war of words, the princess told Fay that it’s unfortunate that “Alice” is a woman, if she was a man, she would have been her taste perfectly which made Fay decide to never tell the princess that Al is a man [he still doesn’t know that Al is a woman])


    ***


    Al and Vinas were going to stay in Fay’s palace.


    Al was a bit lonely because all the Vinas seemed quite busy.


    (They were all looking for evidence to prove Al’s innocence).


    Al went out with her coworkers and enjoyed the festival (there was a festival).


    Al was bewildered at how hungry she was, she usually had a small appetite but for some reason she couldn’t stop eating.


    Al’s party met with the princess who sneaked out.


    The princess talked about Al cross dressing in the academy and told Al that she has went through a lot (I think she figured that Al is actually a woman).


    Suddenly, Al was pulled by someone.


    It was a woman who is actually the granddaughter of the Ioranos marquis along with her brother.


    They talked to Al rudely and asked about Al’s identity.


    (BTW, the Ioranos family is from another kingdom and they came here for political reasons?).


    Al was annoyed by them (that was how rude they were for even Al who is always polite and patient to react like that).


    Then, they asked if Al knew Navi’s family (remember, Navi’s great grandmother was from Ioranos but she ran away to marry the one she loves).


    It was then that the princess intervened and chased them out.


    The princess kept trying to become friends with Al but Al kept refusing because it was too much.


    ***


    The 5 Vinas were watched Al who was eating in the festival when they wondered if Fay’s palace servants were starving Al.


    Fay said that there was no way but looked worried as it was obvious that Al was eating a lot.


    The 5 Vinas felt hungry when they saw Al eating happily and ordered some food.


    Soon, they returned to their work (finding evidence to prove Al’s innocence).


    ***


    Al went to sleep after returning and didn’t wake up until Chang-Di woke her up.


    Al was wondering what was happening to her body, excessive appetite and sleep?


    Heli was devastated and thought that this is a side effect of the rejuvenation potion and decided to destroy all the potions she made along with the recipe.


    ***


    Al went to watch a tournament with Fay and her coworkers.


    They were sitting in a VIP seat when the duchess came to greet them.


    (The duchess is the mother of Al’s childhood friends).


    The duchess knew Fay and acted close to him (she seems happy to see him).


    The duchess also greeted Al and Al replied awkwardly.


    Al could feel Sess’s gaze on her (Sess is the nickname of Al’s childhood friend who is also the step sister’s fiancé).


    The duchess and her son, Sess, had to leave when Fay said that the tournament was about to start.


    Throughout the time the duchess and Sess were there, Fay’s attention was solely on Al.


    Al wondered if it was only her imagination that Fay’s usually gentle smile looked a bit scary.


    Fay asked Al if she was alright.


    Fay comforted Al and took a spoon and tried to spoon feed Al, not caring about who might be looking at them.


    Everyone looked at Fay in disbelief, including Al.


    Fay said with a sweet smile that the ice cream was going to melt as he put the spoon in front of Al’s lips.


    Al thought.


    ‘I think I’ll melt first.’


    Everyone was looking at them in shock.


    Al could particularly feel Ilina’s hot gaze (Ilina is the coworker mage who Loves BL).


    Al felt tears in her eyes just by remembering the disaster caused by the BL book given to her by Ilina.


    The king’s voice sounded.


    The king politely asked the grand duke to perform first in the tournament for them.


    Everyone got excited to see the face of the famous grand duke.


    When the king called Fay’s name, everyone was shocked including Al.


    Fay was the grand duke?!


    (Apparently, Fay disguised himself as an imperial guard before).


    Fay asked.


    “Can I refuse?”


    Eventually, Fay had to go.


    Before going he smiled at Al and told her that he would be back.


    Al’s coworkers wondered why lately, their sense of reality was disappearing.


    Al tried hard to ignore her coworkers’ gazes.


    ***


    In the duchess’ VIP room, the duchess was wondering how Al got to know Fay who is a a person that’s very hard to meet.


    Her addressing of Fay was filled with respect.


    Sess couldn’t erase the image of Al who was looking at Fay with eyes full of trust.


    The duchess and Sess watched the stadium as Fay fought other participants and won spectacularly.


    After he won, Fay looked at Al’s direction and smiled sweetly.


    The screams of women reverberated.


    Sess thought.


    ‘If he looks cool even for men then how would he look to women?’


    Sess pretended not to see his mother who was blushing next to him.


    Sess looked at Al who was in the room next to them.

    Chang-Di was helping Al prepare for the royal banquet.


    As Al was taking off her shirt, she told Chang-Di that she decided to go with her grandfather.


    Chang-Di told Al not to worry and that they will all attend the banquet.


    Suddenly, Juli barged in the room.


    Al’s head turned white but her body moved automatically to show her back to Juli.


    Chang-Di quickly cover Al’s back with a jacket.


    Chang-Di shouted at Juli as though she was a vicious beast.


    “GET OUT! DO YOU WANT ME TO CUT OFF YOUR WRIST IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO KNOCK?!”


    “What?! Why can’t I when you, a woman are here.. okay okay! I’m going out!”


    Juli quickly left.


    Chang-Di sighed, saying that Juli seems to have not noticed that Al is a woman.


    Al wondered if Juli was quite dull.


    Chang-Di sighed. She seems to have been surprised quite a lot like Al.


    “He has the best personality amongst us but why is he so tactless?”


    Al wondered why she said Juli had the best personality amongst them.


    ***


    Al waited for her grandfather.


    While waiting, the step sister saw her and started insulting her (like always).


    The grandfather came and defended Al.


    The step sister whispered to Al.


    “Does grandfather know about ’that’?”


    (She is talking about the scandal of Al hiring thugs to attack a child).


    Before entering, they met Ren and Fay.


    The grandfather apologised to Al.


    He came because he wanted to be Al’s strength but it seems Al didn’t need him.


    Al felt weird but eventually thanked the grandfather for thinking like that.


    In the banquet hall, the step mother kept picking on Al, hinting that there is no way that Al had an invitation and that Al must have begged the grandfather etc.


    The grandfather was shocked to see how the step mother was driving Al in a corner like this.


    He thought that she treated Al properly.


    As the step mother and step sister were cornering Al, Al felt courage from the Vinas.


    For the first time, she walked back and defended herself.


    In the end, the nobles started laughing at the step mother and the step sister.


    The step mother tried to get a connection to Fay through the grandfather.


    (The step mother thought that Fay was friends with the grandfather and didn’t think that he was close to Al).


    The grandfather was shocked again by the step mother’s shamelessness (just how has she been pretending in front of him all these years?!).


    It was the Vinas who talked and defended Al.


    The step mother had no choice but to leave.


    When the king and queen came, the grandfather declared Al as his successor.


    ***


    The grandfather left Al to have sometime to think for himself.


    He remembered what the uncle said and finally realised that he was too late.


    He met the step mother.


    The step mother kept disappointing him.


    The grandfather decided to erase the step mother’s name from the family and to stop supporting her financially.


    The step mother was devastated.

    Chang-Di came as Juli’s partner.


    She was dressed in a white dress and white jewels which made her who was already a beauty, look like a goddess.


    When Chang-Di saw Al, she abandoned her partner, Juli and ran to Al and hugged her tightly.


    Chang-Di purposefully flirted with Al which caused Al to feel flustered.


    Chang-Di who stopped hugging Al mentioned the scandal in front of everyone.


    She said that she gathered evidence to prove Al’s innocence.


    The family of the child who was attacked were agitated and asked Chang-Di if she can take responsibility of her words.


    Chang-Di purposely controlled the atmosphere to get the attention of all the nobles and pique their interest and curiosity.


    (If Al was really a man, Chang-Di would have definitely been our female lead).


    Chang-Di said that she doesn’t expect everyone to believe her just like this so she brought a friend of Wolka (Juli) to perform the judgement of the silent book(?).


    All the nobles were shocked.


    Al asked Juli and he explained.


    It’s like a trial in front of god to prove a person’s innocence.


    They need to show the process of how they concluded that someone is innocent with 3 gods as witnesses.


    And if there is a single lie in the process, even if the guarantor didn’t know that it was a lie, all the guarantors would be punished and might die.


    Al was shocked and tried to stop Chang-Di.


    Chang-Di asked Al to trust her.


    Al couldn’t stop her anymore.


    Fay, Ren and Chang-Di declared that they would be guarantors (5 guarantors are needed).


    The step sister kept trying to stop them to no avail as even the king and queen wanted to see how the judgement would proceed.


    Juli would perform the trial (since he has the status of a priest when actually all the Vinas can perform it due to them being half gods. Also, only a high level priest can perform the trial).


    2 guarantors are still needed.


    Al decided to be a guarantor.


    Juli tried to stop her.


    Al said that this is all because of her so she needs to this at least.


    Juli said that everyone did this because they wanted to, they didn’t want Al to be hurt.


    Al asked.


    “You too?”


    Juli shut his mouth.


    Al shook of his and went forward.


    Chang-Di tried to stop Al by holding her shoulders.


    Al said that it would be alright, wasn’t Chang-Di confident? Then nothing will happen to her.


    Chang-Di put her face close to Al.


    “Just the fact you are there… I hate it.”


    “Me too… but I held it in so please bear with me. Chang-Di.”


    Bobby suddenly asked.


    “Are you two in lover with each other?”


    Al: “NO!”


    Chang-Di: “yes!”


    Chang-Di looked hurt and asked Al.


    “Do you not love me?”


    Al felt like the bad guy who tricked a girl and abandoned her.


    Al tried to explain that she love Chang-Di as a family.


    While Al was frustrated and trying to explain and calm Chang-Di, Fay suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her to where Juli was.


    “Just stay here and don’t worry about anything.”


    “…”


    Fay was clearly smiling but strangely, there was some scary pressure in that smile.


    Only When Al finally nodded, did Fay return to Chang-Di’s side as if he was relieved.


    Just like that, Al was kicked out.


    Juli told Bobby to go since an intelligent animal(summon) capable of speech could be considered a guarantor (lol).


    Many were amazed at Juli’s smart judgement.


    1 guarantor was needed.


    The grandfather said he would be a guarantor but he was rejected by Ren.


    Ren said that someone already applied for that position.


    It was then that Heli entered the banquet hall.


    Juli finally started.


    Devine power shone around him and covered the whole hall.


    Juli called the 3 gods.


    Their surroundings changed and A pen, libra and sword appeared (they symbolise each god).


    The Vinas and Bobby swore to only say the truth.


    A voice rang to start recording and the pen started moving.


    The Vinas explained the situation (the scandal of Al and that they want to prove her innocence).


    First, Ren showed a video of a few men beaten up. They were the thugs.


    Heli in the used a tool (stolen from Wolka) to take the memory they are thinking about out and show it to the recorder.


    It showed a robed man who looked like a knight telling them to attack the noble child according to young master Alkeris’ orders.


    The Vinas explained, they tried to search around those close to Al first and compared the roped man with the knights of Al’s family.


    Through comparison, they couldn’t find the man in the knights.


    So, they switched to what the man was wearing.


    Through further research, they found the shops which sold these things a few years ago (like his clothes and shoes along and the sword).


    The nobles were dumbfounded at the scale the search of the Vinas went.


    They found out that the sword was an ornamental sword used as a prop in plays.


    They looked for the list of the theater members who bought the sword.


    They found him.


    According to the manager, on the day of the accident, the actor took a sick leave. Then, after some time, he quite acting and left.


    It was concluded that he left the continent.


    Through further research, they found the man in another continent.


    The nobles including Al were again dumbfounded by how the scale of search increased absurdly.


    Chang-Di explained.


    “I know the age, face and height. How can I not find him? What was hard was to make sure that the people who gave us these information were telling us the truth. So we had to double check and do a few things.”


    Chang-Di said that with kind smile.


    The nobles felt a chill down their spine.


    Then, the Vinas showed another video of the actor.


    Heli in the video took used the tool again to show what the actor remembered.


    It was a woman wearing a dark robe who looked like the step sister with a man whom she called “young master Alkeris”.


    The nobles looked at the man who was called “young master Alkeris” and then at Al and disbelief.


    It was because the man in the video was tall and strong and had a tanned skin.


    Nothing like Al.


    The Vinas then showed that the man was actually the step sister’s personal knight.


    With this, the Vinas said that Al was innocent.


    The pen which was writing stopped moving and they heard a voice saying that the libra would tilt to the right if everything was the truth and the left if there was a lie.


    The libra tilted to the right which proved that Al is innocent.


    With that, what was torturing Al for a long time was over.


    Al was so moved she was about to run to the Vinas to hug them.


    But Ren and Heli ran to the step sister.


    Al was so shocked that her rationality returned.


    Heli and Ren kept cursing at the step sister while her father was defending her.


    The nobles realised that the step sister was behind everything.


    The Vinas revealed that they made sure that what was revealed today would be written in the newspapers and would reach every every continent in this world.


    The step sister cried as she felt everyone gossiping behind her.


    When she wanted to leave, the queen and king intervened, saying that the banquet was still ongoing (indirectly saying that they would take the step sister leaving as an insult to the royal family).


    So the step sister was forced to stay.


    Al suddenly realised something and asked her childhood friend, Fin, to talk with her privately.


    ***


    Turned out, the step sister who knew that Fin loved Al, told Fin that Al would get engaged to to a young lady (which is a lie).


    To stop that, Fin told the step sister of when the young lady’s younger brother’s guard was absent.


    Fin was shocked by the scandal and how it escalated.


    When Sess knew, he wanted to clear things but Fin stopped him as she was afraid that Al would hate her if he found out.


    Sess eventually decided to abandon his successor position and get engaged to the step sister so that Al, Sess and Fin can stay together forever.


    Al felt like she was going insane.


    She asked since they knew it wasn’t Al who did it then why did they act as though they didn’t trust her.


    Fin didn’t know what to say and kept crying.


    Al confessed to Fin that she is a woman.


    Fin was shocked.


    Al said that she found out that she was a woman when she was 12 (or was it 13?) years old.


    Everyone kept telling her that they would kill her if this was found out.


    She was so terrified that she couldn’t even tell them (Fin and Sess).


    Al said it’s her fault for not telling them.


    Fin tried to say that Al did nothing wrong.


    Al said that she couldn’t return to being friends with them again because she is scared.


    She is scared that they would do this to her again.


    With this, Al cut off her relationship with her childhood friends.


    When Al went out of the terrace, she saw Sess frozen.


    Sess asked Al if she was really a woman.


    Al told him that it was the truth, what was he going to do now? Ask her for engagement like he did with the step sister?


    Al made it clear that this is the end of their relationship and told Sess to go calm Fin who was crying.


    Sess called Al but Al left without looking back.

    Al was feeling gloomy as she thought about Sess and Fin.


    If they didn’t hide secrets from each other, would things have been deferent?


    Al heard the Vinas calling her through the seal.


    As Al was walking, someone pulled her hand.


    Al smell a familiar scent.


    It was Fay.


    Fay said that he came looking for her because she was late.


    Fay was worried about Al and asked her if she cried.


    Al shook her head.


    Fay was being more careful around her than usual.


    Al told him that she broke up with her friends.


    Fay asked her if she regretted it and Al shook her head, she didn’t regret it but didn’t feel happy either.


    Fay was silent for some time before he took out a chocolate from his subspace and gave it to Al.


    Al asked him if he always has that chocolate.


    Fay said yes, since Al likes it.


    Fay said that he wants to comfort Al but it’s hard. He is afraid that he might say something that would hurt Al instead or maybe something that would make Al hate him since they aren’t just deferent people but also from deferent races.


    He didn’t want to be hated by Al.


    He didn’t want to say or do some that Al doesn’t like.


    Al felt touched and happy because of how much Fay thought of her.


    ***


    On their way back to the other Vinas, Al saw Navi.


    Navi who recognised Al was happy and asked Al if she can call Al by her first name.


    Navi went back to her father.


    Navi’s father, who saw Al’s face was shocked.


    He looked like he wanted to talk to Al but then his face changed when he saw Ioranos’young lady and young master who were staring at him as though they were enemies.


    Navi’s father quickly left without talking to Al.

    Suddenly, someone called them, he asked Al if she worked as a model.


    Al almost screamed but denied that.


    The man was going to take out a picture but Al did her best to stop him by holding his hand.


    Fay looked at how Al was holding the man’s hand strangely (probably jealous).


    Just in that moment, the other Vinas arrived.


    2 young ladies who were with the man talked about the advertisement and Al kept trying to stop them.


    Chang-Di became curious and the other Vinas wanted to know what advertisement they were talking about.


    Juli whispered to Al that it seems the others caught up.


    Chang-Di asked with a sweet voice to let her see the advertisement.


    Juli whispered to Al


    "Give up. The moment Chang-Di gets curious, it’s game over. Isn't it better to get rid of everything and feel comfortable? Then you don't have to be my servant anymore.”


    Al finally let go.


    Soon the advertisement video started playing the 4 Vinas were surprised to see Al and soon they looked at the Al in the screen as though they were going to eat the screen.


    Al was nervous to see them like that.


    Heli screamed that she didn’t get this in her collection (since when did she have a collection of Al?)


    Soon, Heli and Ren rushed to the ladies and wanted to buy the video.


    Ren was going to give the young lady an island while Heli wanted to pay with some destructive bomb when Al calmed them down and told them where to find the advertisement.


    Ren started to want to buy the company that made the advertisement along with the copy right monopoly.


    The young ladies were so scared that they just wanted to give the video for free.


    Ren was unwilling to take it for free so he gave the young lady a very gorgeous diamond necklace.


    Ren said all that is left is buying the company and the copyright monopoly (is that the same thing?).


    Heli also gave the lady something absurd (I think it was a magic tool?).


    Al felt dizzy as she saw how Heli and Ren reacted.


    She wondered if she should be glad that Chang-Di and Fay were quiet.


    Al changed her mind the next second.


    Chang-Di muttered that she never received any report about this and there was something creepy in her gaze.


    Fay, on the other hand, kept watching the video over and over many times.


    Suddenly, Juli asked.


    “Do you want me to take you away?”


    “Yes.”


    That was what Al wanted to hear the most.


    ***


    The Vinas were wondering when Al filmed this.


    Fay was still watching the video over.


    Heli’s cheeks turned red as she watched Al in the video.


    Chang-Di suddenly noticed that Al wasn’t her.


    Juli wasn’t here either.


    Fay’s face suddenly distorted.


    ***


    While with Juli, Al met the owner of the necklace and Ameil’s older brother.


    Ameil’s older brother was so beautiful that Al thought that he was a fairy.


    The owner of the necklace was a young woman who looked quite naive.


    The owner of the necklace told Al that she met a young lady who gave off a similar feeling to Al, like a family member (she is referring to Navi).


    Juli received an urgent call and had to leave (the silver haired haired Vina escaped).


    Before leaving, he warned Al not to go anywhere without at least 1 of them (Vinas).

    Ameil was looking through records to find the connection between Al and Ioranos.


    In the end he didn’t find anything except a few suspicious things about Al’s grandmother’s family.


    On his way back, he met Navi.


    When he asked about Navi’s great grandmother, Navi’s father was wary but Navi told that her great grandmother graduated from the all girl school.


    Ameil thanked her and went to that school.


    ***


    The step sister felt like she was going crazy with how people were gossiping about her and felt angry at Al for not just enduring this.


    Sess canceled their engagement and Fin treated her coldly.


    As she was cornered, her new escort approached her.


    ***


    The step mother went to ask to duchess to help her daughter.


    The duchess refused her coldly.


    She said that they will cancel the engagement.


    The step mother was shocked by the duchess’ coldness.


    The duchess told her before making her leave.


    "One last piece of advice. Don't do anything. Just holding your breath quietly as if you were dead. He(Fay) looks sweet at first glance, but he never forgives."


    ***


    Chang-Di and Fay found Al.


    When Al asked about Ren and Heli, it turned out that they met the representative of the company that filmed the advertisement and are now quarrelling to buy the company.


    On the way back, someone whispered something to Fay which seemed urgent.


    Fay had to leave.


    Al and Chang-Di went to the banquet hall.


    ***


    The step sister did what her escort told her.


    She used her earring to draw some blood from her finger then drop the blood to wine cup in her hand.


    Finally, she dropped the wine on her shadow.


    All this happened while a young lady was watching her (she is older sister whose younger brother was hurt by thugs in the scandal).


    ***


    Al hugged Bobby the moment she found him eating in the banquet hall.


    Suddenly, Chang-Di called Al.


    Shadow monsters began rising from the shadows of the people and attacked them.


    The shadow monsters moved and blocked the exits.


    Suddenly, Bobby said that he knew what these monsters are, they are monsters used by the pagans.


    The nobles were shocked when they heard that.


    Does that mean that there is a pagan among them?!


    Chang-Di protected Al and put her under a table.


    Al tried to use the magic bracelet but it didn’t work.


    Chang-Di was shocked and said that someone used complete blocking (I think it’s some barrier that blocks magic?)


    The young lady who is the older sister of the boy from Al’s scandal shouted as she pointed at the step sister.


    She explained what she saw the step sister doing.


    The step sister denied doing that in panic.


    The young lady was almost attacked by the shadow monster and hid behind the step sister.


    The shadow monster stopped attacking.


    The young lady shouted that she heard that these monsters don’t attack the one who summoned them.


    Everyone was enraged at the step sister.


    The escort appeared as he lamented that he told the step sister to do it while making sure that no one sees her.


    The escort then smiled and said to all the nobles to hand Al. If they hand Al over, all of them will be released safely.


    Chang-Di was enraged as she attacks the escort.


    A new Vina appeared as he protected the escort.


    Al felt like she was going crazy, they said that not many Vinas exist so why does she meet them so often?


    Chang-Di smiled as she asked if he was the one who used complete blocking.


    The new Vina(I think his name was Aston/Ashton) was shocked to see Chang-Di and said that this is deferent from what he heard and that he didn’t expect to see her here.


    (I think Ashton wanted to assassinate his sign or sign to be which is why he is helping the pagans since Vinas can’t kill their signs).


    Chang-Di and Ashton fought.


    Due to the shock of their fight, the escort got nocked out which led to all the shadow monsters to stop moving but as long as Ashton who used complete blocking is alive, they won’t be able to leave.


    Ashton was shocked by how much Chang-Di was stronger than him even though they were of the same race.


    Chang-Di one sidedly beat him.


    Suddenly, someone approached Al who was hiding under the table.


    He claimed to be Navi’s escort and that he came to help Al.


    Al didn’t trust him.


    The man threw away his acting and dragged Al. He was a pagan.


    Al managed to get away from his grip with Bobby’s help.


    Suddenly, someone grabbed Al from behind and threatened Al not to move.


    Al looked back and was shocked to see the silver haired Vina.


    She realised why Juli suddenly returned to Wolka.


    Bobby tried to save Al but he was knocked by the silver haired Vina in one hit.


    The silver haired Vina spoke in disappointment that he wanted to hit the back of Juli’s head.


    (The silver haired Vina wanted revenge for what Juli did).


    He was disappointed because Juli’s sign isn’t here.


    (Al was definitely glad she denied being Juli sign back in the castle lol).


    Chang-Di who already won and was about to kill Ashton froze.


    When she saw Al’s neck being threatened she felt as though her world was going to end.


    She was sweating and filled with fear for the first time in her life.


    She was scared of Al getting injured.


    She didn’t dare move at all.


    Al hated seeing Chang-Di force a smile just to reassure her.


    Ashton made fun of Chang-Di.


    The pagan who was acting as Navi’s escort started drawing a door (pagan sorcery to teleport).


    As they were about to drag Al inside, Al’s grandfather tried to stop them.


    The escort stabbed him but the grandfather crawled and held onto Al’s feet desperately.


    The escort killed the grandfather.


    Al could hear her heart beating.


    Chang-Di who was looking at her with fear.


    Fin and Sess who were watching from afar.


    Bobby who was lying on the ground.


    Al’s head turned white.


    ***


    Ameil was going through the graduation albums for a long time when he was shocked to see someone with the same face as Al.


    Looking at the name it was Angelina Ioranos.


    Ameil didn’t need anymore reason.


    He quickly ran.


    He just wanted to see Al.


    ***


    Heli and Ren returned to the banquet hall and were shocked to see the whole hall under complete blocking.


    Ren broke the spell and opened the door.


    They saw Al surrounding by golden letters floating around her in a circle.


    ***


    Al heard some voices she couldn’t understand what they were talking about.


    Something talked about prioritising the will of Al.


    Then, something took control of her body.


    ***


    The moment the golden light came out of Al and formed all kinds of letters and patterns, a pressure was applied on everyone present including Ren and Heli who just opened the door.


    (First, let me explain the ability of the golden alchemist, Al can bring any magic or knowledge that existed in a previous era, for information, the system was deferent in previous era as magic was deferent… )


    (think of it this way, when an era ends and another one start, it’s like a game update that initialised everything and changed all the rules and system of the game. So, only the golden alchemist has the cheat key to use the good abilities not currently available in the current game edition).


    (But there are a few conditions 1) the life span of the golden alchemist is reduced every time the abilities are use. Luckily, Al, who became a sign of Vinas [is no longer restricted by life span / doesn’t have a life span] so the only side effect Al is actually suffering of is getting a little tired when she uses the abilities.)


    (2) The golden alchemist can’t just use the abilities of the previous update without energy. Here, Al would be using the energy of spells in the bracelet to use some abilities of the previous eras.)


    (If I’m not mistaken, I think that a new era starts when the previous era gets destroyed by the pagans.)


    (I hope this explanation was easy to understand.)


    The thing controlling Al suddenly activated some magic in the bracelet and used it as power to use an ability to bring the grandfather back to life which is something impossible to do even for Vinas.


    Due to the thing controlling Al’s body talking like a robot and not showing any expression like a living doll, it was obvious to everyone that something was controlling Al’s body.


    The thing, used the ability again, activated a magic in the bracelet and used it a power to use an ability to attack.


    Due to overworking the body, blood started falling from Al’s mouth.


    Al’s body staggered.


    The thing talked again.


    “Target, the objects this body holds hostility towards. However, don’t touch the pillars.”(Pillars refer to the Vinas).


    The pagans were annihilated.


    More blood dropped from Al’s mouth.


    Chang-Di was terrified to se Al vomiting more blood.


    Heli screamed.


    “AL! BLOOD! WHO IS IT! WHO IS BLOCKING ME FROM GETTING TO AL!?”


    Ren shouted.


    “YOU BASTARDS! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY KID!”


    Ashton and everyone finally noticed Heli and Ren.


    Ashton was dumbfounded.


    Why are the disaster (Heli) and the foul mouthed old man (Ren) here? And why are they so angry?


    He never considered the possibility that they all had the same sign (Al).


    The thing talked again using Al’s body.


    Everything was done according to the body and what is left is what “it” wants.


    The thing moved towards door made by the pagans and changed the teleport coordinates.


    Chang-Di screamed.


    “STOP! AL! DON’T GO!”


    Al’s body vomited blood again.


    Finally, it let go of Al’s body.


    Without that thing controlling Al’s body, Al’s body fell like a broken doll towards the door.


    “NO-!”


    At that moment, a fierce wind passed by.


    It was blue and black wind.


    Two Vinas who came across the hall at an invisible speed passed through Chang-Di.


    They were people she knew.


    Fay and Juli.


    The pressure that prevents them from moving only affects those who were around Al when her ability as the golden alchemist first awakened.


    The two, who just came from other places, weren’t affected by the pressure.


    But the scene They saw as soon as They came here was their sign falling.


    They both ran to Al at top speed without even caring to wonder for half a second about what happened in the hall.


    At the same time, they both reached out their hand toward Al called her name.


    They were about to touch Al, the deference was bare the a hair breadth.


    But Al disappeared.


    Right in front of them.


    The moment the realised that, they felt like the world collapsed on them.

    Al woke up on a beach.


    She felt pain and couldn’t move.


    She found that her brown hair turned into blond hair.


    As she struggled to move, she found out that she had a child’s body.


    At this realisation Al called Heli’s name in rage but soon lost her consciousness again.


    Suddenly, 2 men appeared /teleported on the beach.


    They came because they felt the sorcery of a pagan but were shocked to find a child in the middle of an adult’s clothes.


    One man, Leon, wanted to kill the child because the child might be a pagan.


    The other man, one of god’s children (a half god), objected, saying that he has a feeling he shouldn’t kill the child as he poked Al’s chubby baby cheeks in interest.


    Leon objected because the son of god’s feeling was never right but the son of god ignored him.


    Leon sighed.


    He wrapped Al’s clothes around her and carried her as they teleported to see the queen.


    ***


    In the royal banquet hall.


    The king, queen and nobles gathered.


    The hall was a mess because of the intrusion of the pagans.


    There were no deaths.


    Yet, now one dared to make noise in the quiet hall.


    Not because of solemnity but because of fear.


    The king and queen who were enraged upon hearing what happened, rushed to the banquet hall but what greeted them was the scene of Fay dragging the step sister from her hair with a cold expression that sent chills to the viewers.


    The queen unknowingly reached out to her daughter.


    She held her daughter’s hand in one hand and held her own arm with other feeling goosebumps.


    The anger that was boiling to the top of their head cooled down when they saw Fay.


    The queen felt as though cold water was thrown on her.


    She wondered.


    Has Fay ever been this angry in the past?


    The queen expressed condolences to the step sister, pagans and everyone involved in this, they touched someone they should have never touched.


    When the shock calmed down, the nobles pointed and the step sister and called her a pagan.


    The step sister was arrested.


    The king and queen hear the explanation of what happened and looked at the Vinas.


    No one dared to approach them or make any noise around them.


    Ashton was ruthlessly beaten up as Heli sat on him.


    Ren kept interrogating a beaten up Silver haired Vina.


    The 2 Vinas looked as though they were barely enduring the urge to kill them as they kept inquiring about something.


    On the other hand, Juli and Chang-Di were kneeling on the ground seemingly analysing a strange painting on the ground (the door drown by the pagans) and discussing something.


    The 2 Vinas were quiet but the atmosphere was brutal and no one dared approach them either.


    The cause of the pagan invasion and the one who disappeared after killing the pagans was Al.


    Which was why the king and queen understood why Fay was like that.


    The king and queen thought about why the other 4 Vinas were like that and realised that Al wasn’t the sign of only Fay but also the sign of these 4 Vinas as well.


    They suddenly felt scared about what these 5 Vinas were going to do.


    ***


    Right after Al disappeared, Juli and Fay felt helplessness for the first time in their life.


    They didn’t want this to end like this and knelt in front of the picture and tried to track Al’s whereabouts.


    Chang-Di came and explained what happened.


    Even then, the 2 couldn’t find where Al was teleported.


    Eventually, the 5 Vinas decided to begin a pagan hunting and search for Al at the same time.

    3 days after Al disappeared.


    A priest of Wolka felt like he going crazy.


    The 5 Vinas were causing trouble everywhere!


    The 5 Vinas, except Juli were crazy from the start and always caused trouble ever since they left the temple after being born as they were all unique in their race.


    But this is the first time and also probably the first time in the history of Vinas that 5 Vinas were holding hands and causing more trouble!


    The priest decided to contact the 5 Vinas to inquire if it was really a group action.


    The target of the contact was Juli, who was the only one who actually cooperates with Wolka.


    But the answer made the priest speechless.


    “The 5 of you have the same sign?! Crazy! What happened to the balance?!”


    The priest tried to deny reality.


    “You aren’t talking about the old man who ripped off the pope’s beard and put it on his face and the pink pervert threw a bomb on us and robbed our treasure…”


    He kept talking about the crazy things the Vinas did and begged Juli to tell him that all these Vinas don’t have the same sign.


    When Juli said that it’s right, the priest despaired.


    He thought he will just have to work hard for a few more decades, believing that these crazy Vinas’ life span would come to an end but now they have eternal life?!!


    He started praying to god to give hope to this world.


    (Literally, all Al’s Vinas are crazy except for Juli.)


    He pitied his descendants’ future and decided to not interfere with what the Vinas were doing.


    He didn’t want to get involved with these 4 crazy Vinas.


    Juli reminded the priest that he is a priest.


    The priest honestly pitied the sign of these crazy Vinas, expressed his condolences and talked in a way that he obviously had no intention to get involved.


    Juli suddenly threw a bomb through the communication device.


    “I think my sign is the golden alchemist.”


    “…. Crazy! Bastard! Why are you saying this only now!”


    As though it was a lie that he had no intention to get involved, the priest ran to the pope like the wind.


    ***


    Al woke up.


    She found herself on a luxurious bed.


    Al found difficulty moving her body which was now 4 years old.


    She suddenly remembered everything.


    The promise she made with the owner of the castle to release the seal.


    What happened in the banquet hall.


    She was the golden alchemist all along!


    She tried to hold her head but her arms were too short and her head was too big.


    As she fell every time she tried to move, she heard someone laughed.


    It was a woman who was laying on the bed and watching Al all along.


    The woman introduced herself as the queen (I think her name was Ashta?)


    Al talked politely to her and asked where this was.


    Ashta told her the name of their continent.


    Al was shocked.


    How did she get to the other side of the globe?! (That is how far this continent is).


    Ashta who seemed to know why Al was so shocked, asked Al to tell her how she got here.


    Al revealed everything including that she was the alchemist of gold and about the rejuvenation potion her “friend” gave her.


    Ashta said that after the awakening, her body started reconstructing itself so that it can endure the power properly and become more durable which is why her hair color changed and why she has been sleeping for 3 days.


    Due to how her body was busy reconstructing itself, it stopped resisting and trying to detoxify the rejuvenation potion which was why Al now became a child.


    Ashta warned Al to stay away from whoever made this potion since they must be a pervert for the potion to stay persistently in Al’s body even after so much time (the obsession…).


    Ashta said that what controlled Al’s body brought her here because Ashta is the only one who can teach her how to use and control her ability.


    She said that Al is lucky to be a sign so her life span won’t be consumed/reduced.


    She said the day Al was brought to her and Ashta realised that Al was similar to her (I think their abilities are a bit similar), Ashta put a barrier on the whole continent in order to protect Al of whoever was after her.


    Al couldn’t contact the Vinas through the seal because of the barrier.


    Ashta refused to let Al contact anyone and said that she would only let Al go when Al learns to use her abilities.


    Al was frustrated and worried about what the Vinas might do but had no choice but to listen to Ashta.


    For days, Ashta taught Al about their abilities, their origin and everything.


    Unfortunately, Al couldn’t use her ability no matter how many times she tried.


    Whenever she failed, Ashta would punish her by putting something cute on Al’s head (like a ribbon).


    Al was frustrated of her body and didn’t remember her head being this big as a child.


    Ashta said that it’s for the sake of enduring the huge amount of information given by their abilities (Ashta also had a big head as a child and she seems very sensitive about that).


    Al was also frustrated at how chubby she was, she bet that this must be all the food she has been eating after taking the potion (remember, Al started craving food a lot and sleep a lot after taking the potion).


    Al also met the son of god and Leon.


    Leon showed dislike to Al.


    When asked why, he answered that everything that son of god picked up saying that he has a feeling that he should keep/save/help it, that thing always turned out to be a natural enemy for him (like a cat son of god picked up).

    It has been many days since Al disappeared.


    The 5 Vinas turned the continent upside down and still couldn’t find her.


    Heli cried and regretted being blinded by the advertisement video of Al. (She would have been with Chang-Di if she wasn’t distracted by the video.)


    Juli and Fay were also regretting leaving Al’s side.


    They left because they heard a Vina related to pagans escaped but they should have stayed by Al’s side back then.


    A suffocating air pressed down the conference room.


    There was silence except for the occasional sound of Heli crying.


    Suddenly, Chang-Di sighed in frustration and gritted her teeth.


    “Never. I’ll never make the same mistake, I’ll stick to my kid like glue after we find him(since Al still dresses as a guy).”


    Ren wondered.


    “Should we make a tracked that works without mana so that we can track him everywhere?”


    Heli cried.


    “Sniff… Can’t we just turn him into a baby and carry him everywhere?”


    Juli looked at them dumbfounded.


    “Are you all out of your mind?”


    Fay looked at Juli.


    “Why? It’s worth thinking about.”


    Juli looked at Fay in disbelief.


    He couldn’t believe that Fay and one of the 3 crazy Vinas actually said that.


    It’s not that Juli couldn’t understand them.


    Even though he seemed the most sane right now, he was actually going crazy as well.


    It was a situation were nothing about Al was known except that she was alive.


    They could only hope that she wasn’t caught by the pagans.


    When did they, Vinas, the Demi-gods feel so helplessness, regret, fear and longing?


    All of these emotions we’re enough to drive them insane.


    As a result they weren’t able to think properly and find a way to get Al back.


    Juli worried again, Al was a trouble maker. He was sure that Al got entangled with someone weird again.


    ***


    One of Fin’s friends came to visit her.


    Fin looked pale and starved she looked like she would lose consciousness.


    Fin was overwhelmed with guilt as the friend tried to calm her and talk about Al.


    If cried as she said that she saw Al vomit blood with her own eyes.


    As they talked, the friend asked Fin why they never tried to help Al with her situation.


    It might have been impossible for others but it was possible for them who were from a duke’s family.


    Fin didn’t know how to reply.


    The friend said that instead of helping Al, they monopolised her and made her think that they were the only ones for her.


    The friend asked if they simply liked the way Al looked at them.


    Fin cried.


    (This was the last time the childhood friends were mentioned).


    ***


    One of the queen’s aides took/dragged Al out of the castle.


    While they were outside, the city was suddenly attacked by monsters.


    ***


    Chang-Di pointed at the continent Al was actually at.


    She said that she has a feeling Al might be there.


    Fay didn’t take her seriously especially since the continent was so far away.


    Chang-Di explained that not any barrier can block the Vinas’ seal and for it to last for many days like this and the royal family of that continent has the ability to do that.


    It only took a few hours later for the Vinas to reach that continent.

    The monsters smelled Al’s sweet scent and targeted Al.


    The queen’s aid tried to protect Al and kept running with Al in his arms.


    When they were cornered, Al finally managed to used the golden alchemist’s ability before passing out.


    ***


    Al woke up hungry a few hours later.


    She heard familiar voices.


    The Vinas came in the room and screamed that they felt Al here.


    Al was happy and felt tears in her eyes.


    She reached out her hands to hug the Vinas when…


    The Vinas didn’t recognise her.


    Al was shocked as she never doubted for once that they would recognise her.


    The Vinas were going crazy saying that they felt Al’s presence here.


    Al’s hands dropped in shock.


    Ren and Heli started fighting again.


    Juli stared at them as though he was fed up with them and was suffering of something.


    Al was convinced that they weren’t pretending not to see her.


    Even the quiet Fay, suddenly said that he would go meet the queen.


    Al suddenly talked.


    “I’m here.”


    The Vinas wondered if they heard something and Heli said she heard a child’s voice.


    Al felt like crying.


    You said you would recognise me and love no matter how I looked like… (this is what Chang-Di told Al when Al had her first period and told Al that it doesn’t matter what Al’s gender is).


    “I’m here! I’m Alkeris! Al!”


    “What?”


    Only then did the Vinas look at Al.


    There was silence.


    “…”


    Al wondered if her appearance was that shocking. Even Bobby(yup, he came with the Vinas) was silent.


    Al started getting embarrassed as the silence continued.


    Did she look that strange?


    As if feeling the strange silence, the knights guarding the room didn’t make any noise.


    Suddenly, son of god came and called Juli, he seemed quite friendly (Juli and son of god have been friends for more than 200 years).


    Son of god asked Juli why he suddenly ran out.


    Juli pushed son of god.


    “Hey!”


    Son of god was surprised by Juli’s shout and asked what was wrong, why did he look so angry?


    “YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T! YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T SEE HIM!”


    “See who??”


    Juli pointed at Al.


    “MY SIGN!”


    Son of god was dumbfounded.


    He looked at Al and Juli alternately and was more dumbfounded.


    “You said he had brown hair and was an adult!”


    Son of god pointed at Al an shouted.


    “This one is a triangle figure!” (He is pointing at how Al’s head was big).


    Al shook her head, she wasn’t a triangular figure!


    Juli and son of god started fighting.


    Al wondered, was her head that big.


    Suddenly, Chang-Di walked to Al and held her.


    “Al, are you really Al?”


    When Al nodded, Chang-Di smiled brightly then hugged Al with more strength.


    “I’m glad.. you aren’t hurt.”


    Al was touched and tried to hug Chang-Di with her short arms.


    Ren and Fay came closer.


    Ren’s eyes trembled in joy.


    Fay suddenly asked.


    “May I hug you?”


    Al stretched her hands to Fay.


    Chang-Di gave Al to Fay with regretful eyes as though she couldn’t help it.


    Fay careful held Al as though he was touching glass.


    He carefully looked at Al.


    He asked if Al was alright.


    Al laughed and said that she was alright thanks to the knights.


    Fay’s expression hardened as he looked at Al’s blond hair then the chiffon girly dress she was wearing then looked at the knights (he thinks the knight dressed her like that jokingly).


    Chang-Di sighed while muttering that Fay was slow.


    Fay then asked why Al became a child.


    Al suddenly remembered.


    Heli!


    Al looked at Heli.


    Heli was staring at Al with red cheeks and drool falling from her mouth.


    Al’s anger won against her instincts for danger.


    “You! Come here!”


    Heli looked surprised.


    Al got down from Fay’s arms and Ran to Heli.


    Al grabbed Heli’s skirt angrily and asked her for antidote.


    Heli smiled cutely.


    “I destroyed all of them.”


    “What?”


    “Because it didn’t work on Al and there seemed to be some side effects, I destroyed all the potions I made.”


    Al was shocked but regained her calm.


    “Then make it again.”


    Heli shook her head with an excited face and put her hands on her cheek.


    “Sorry, I destroyed all the recipes too.”


    Al fell on her knees in despair.


    Ren patted her back to comfort her.


    Ren declared war and got up to fight Heli.


    Al hugged Ren’s leg in an effort to stop but she got dragged instead.


    Juli who was fighting with son of god suddenly saw Al’s figure being easily dragged by Ren.


    He was dumbfounded and asked her what she was doing in that body as he held her awkwardly and separated her from Ren.


    Al looked at her last hope, Fay.


    She expected Fay to mediate between Heli and Ren.


    Unexpectedly, Fay fixed his gloves and grabbed Heli.


    “Let’s hit her first a little.”


    Al was shocked as she was hit with more fatigue and decided to let go of her mind (lose consciousness).


    ***


    Al regained her consciousness and stretched her arms but was shocked to see Chang-Di.


    As she looked around, all the Vinas were around her bed.


    As though she looked funny, Fay’s serious expression collapsed a little.


    Juli poked Al’s cheek with a face full of dissatisfaction.


    The vinas explained what happened.


    Juli was quite shocked to see Al passing out.


    He quickly called Ren and Heli to give Al blessings.


    Al felt guilty to have worried him and remembered that it was Juli who found her when she drank poison from the step grandmother before she became their sign.


    Al wanted to give him a hug when Juli suddenly talked.


    “And you are quite heavy.”


    Al’s hands which reached out to Juli quickly fell.


    The touched feeling she had for him quickly evaporated.


    Al wondered what happened to Heli but Heli looked fine.


    Somehow, Fay’s expression looked brighter than before.


    Chang-Di explained, after the surprise of Al losing consciousness was over, Fay picked Heli and slapped her buttocks while Ren hit her back.


    Ren grumbled that there was no place to hit because of Heli’s small body.


    Heli glared at Fay then looked at Al with teary eyes she said she had never been humiliated like this.


    Al replied coldly.


    “Thanks to you, my humiliation is still ongoing.”


    Heli kept acting cute and asked Al to comfort her with a hug.


    Al who knew that Heli was trying to take advantage of her (wants to hug Al) thought, ‘no way, you punk’.

    Al was having a dinner before leaving with the queen(Ashta), son of god, Leon and the Vinas before leaving.


    Al asked Ashta if her kind is short lived since her mother and grandmother had weak health.


    Ashta shook her head, if their kind didn’t inherit the power then they would have longer life spans than ordinary people and said that there should be an external reason for Al’s mother and grandmother’s condition.


    Al thanked Ashta for everything.


    Ashta said that it’s natural to help since those of their bloodline are rare, it’s even more so if they awakened like Al.


    Ashta talked about how the king’s marriage partner is usually chosen as someone with awakened abilities as well if there was (since they are rare to start with) and said that it is their responsibility to maintain their bloodline.


    The Vinas except Chang-Di who knew Al’s gender glared at Ashta in vigilance.


    Ashta laughed when she realised that they think Al is a man and that they think she is targeting Al.


    (There were missing ads on a newspaper with Al’s picture as a man so Ashta found out that Al dresses and has the identity of a man).


    Ashta hinted that she already has a crush on one of her aids.


    Juli suddenly whispered to Al.


    “Are you forgetting something?”


    Al didn’t understand.


    Juli explained son of god’s identity to Al and told her that the man’s soul in the old castle said she can ask someone to help her find the seal (the seal is sealing son of god’s older sister).


    Al shouted and quickly told son of god.


    Son of god was moved and asked Al if she really can release the seal.


    Al affirmed.


    Son of god shouted and was excited.


    He hugged Al and said that he would definitely find the seal and bring it to her.


    He then begged Al not to forget the promise and release the seal.


    Al decided not to tell him that she forgot and Juli reminded her.


    When he saw son of god so excited, Leon said that son of god’s feeling was right this time.


    Leon looked at Al and said that he remembers that Al had a hard time to activate her ability.


    Al felt pressure in his gaze.


    He asked Al to get used to her abilities while they are looking for the seal.


    Al sweated.


    Leon apologised for his rude actions and confessed to Al that when he found her on the beach, he wanted to kill her but son of god stopped him.


    Al was shocked.


    All the Vinas glared at Leon.

    Leon told Al to keep rolling (he means to have Al go through hardships so that she can get used to her abilities more).

    For Al, this was the scariest curse.



    Al suddenly remembered something she read in the pagan diary.


    The pagans found a child with abilities similar to Al and Ashta and conducted experiments on the child until the child died.


    Al told Ashta.


    Ashta suddenly laughed in rage.


    Ashta told son of god that she would support him (son of god is called pagan slayer and he is the head of an organisation that hunts down pagans).


    Al looked at son of god in excitement, thinking that he was like the main character in a fairy tale.


    Juli said that Al looked like a doll in a horror movie.


    Heli said that Al looked cute with red cheeks which made Al not feel grateful at all.


    Son of god defended Al, calling her his saviour.


    Juli said that Al hasn’t done anything yet.


    Son of god said that Al is his future saviour.


    Son of god then kept defending Al.


    “You don’t know how much you sign has been suffering. He had the mind of an adult but the body of a child. He had many hardships. He couldn’t pronounce words correctly and he even wore a bib because his saliva kept overflowing. He even but his tongue many…”


    Al tried to stop son of god from talking but it was already too late.


    Fay’s hand lost strength and the fork he was holding fell. But no one paid attention to him.


    The Vinas were looking at Al with shocked faces.


    Even Juli’s eyes looking at her were shaking.


    Bobby asked what a bib was but no one answered him.


    Al looked at her food as her face was turning red.


    She could feel everyone was looking at her.


    She tried to talk calmly.


    “It’s a shameful past.”


    The message she tried to send: so don’t ask anything anymore.


    Unfortunately, the message didn’t reach the other party.


    Heli shouted.


    “… Bib?! A bib?! Why aren’t you wearing it now! Video! Is there a video?!”


    Al was so shocked she grabbed Juli’s shirt.


    Even Ren suddenly asked for pictures.


    Heli and Ren kept asking for videos and pictures.


    An aid asked if they were Al’s fan club.


    Al felt like dying.


    Al was asked if she worked in the entertainment industry.


    Al denied fervently.


    The dinner ended with the queen and the son of god’s party looking at Al and the 2 vinas with dumbfounded faces.

    Heli kept filming and taking pictures of Al.


    The Vinas kept giving Al a lot of allowance.


    ***


    Al turned her back to the Vinas.


    “It’s late …. But thank you for looking for me.”


    Feeling shy, she hugged Bobby and hid her face.


    The Vinas smiled at her warmly.


    Ren started screaming and punching the wall causing the whole house to shake.


    “CUTE! YOU ARE SO CUTE THAT I WANT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING!”


    Al was scared.


    ***


    The house became quiet.


    Al was sleeping.


    Fay covered Al with a blanket.


    He saw Al’s hand outside the blanket.


    Once, he missed that hand.


    He still remembers the feeling of his fingertips narrowly missing it.


    He will never forget how he felt back then.


    Fay held Al’s hand.


    Feeling the baby’s unique high body temperature, he gave strength to his hand.


    “I don’t want to feel that again.”


    So I will never miss it.


    I never make the same mistake twice.


    Fay vowed to himself.

    Heli made the antidote and Al returned to being an adult.


    Al was surprised that he body showed more feminine curves than before.


    Al went to see the step sister in prison.


    The step sister was staying in a quite good prison due to her family’s support.


    The step sister got angry at Al and threw something at Al which injured her forehead.


    The father came and saw this scene.


    They argued again and Al left


    ***


    The reason the father listened to Al was because he saw the wound on Al’s forehead heal.


    He looked at Al’s hand but he didn’t see any ring.


    The father felt uneasy.


    ***


    Al decided to buy gifts for everyone.


    ***


    The Vinas were happy by Al’s gifts which were a special metal that can change shape according to the owner’s will.


    Heli, Chang-Di and Ren wore it as a ring.


    Juli as a necklace.


    (I’m not sure what form Fay use, probably a necklace? Because he felt quite shy and couldn’t bring himself to turn it in a ring when he saw the 3 Vinas).


    ***


    Al finally went back to work and gave everyone gifts.


    Al met Ameil and talked to him privately.


    Ameil seemed to be in conflict as he didn’t notice that Al was the golden alchemist.


    He explained that he hated others touching him quite a lot. Yet, from the start, he didn’t mind touching Al and they became close quickly even though he was the type of person who doesn’t open his heart to others easily.


    There were many signs but he didn’t notice anything.


    Al apologised to Ameil that the golden alchemist he was looking for is her.


    Ameil touched Al’s face and came really close to her.


    Al was surprised and woke up, she quickly withdrew from him.


    What she didn’t know was that Ameil felt regret that he couldn’t touch Al more (he still didn’t realise his growing feelings).


    Al asked him about what he was going to do.


    Ameil joked that he was going into her house.


    Al was so scared and refused fervently (because the Vinas are extra sensitive towards Ameil due to the BL book).


    Ameil laughed.


    Al told Ameil that she wants him to live the way he wants.


    Ameil said that he actually never did something he hated, whither it was modelling or the investigation team.


    They decided to stay as coworkers.


    (In a way, Ameil was dumped by Al before his feelings towards her even bloom).


    After Al left, Ameil called his mother.


    While talking, Ameil asked why the fairy king wanted them to be the swords of the golden alchemist when the golden alchemist already has many people stronger than them around her?


    The fairy princess was shocked and realised that Al became a sign.


    She vaguely explained that Al found a very precious key which can change her fate and the act of breaking the key completely changed their fate.


    She said that there is a very strong bond between Al who is the sign and the pillars (Vinas).


    Ameil didn’t perfectly understand everything except that Al’s original fate changed and there was a bond between her and the strong people around her which explained how she got to know them and became so close to them.


    ***


    There was a drinking party with Al’s coworkers.


    While Al was drinking, she was surprised that when drunk, Ameil does everything people close to him tell him to do unless it was something he absolutely hates.


    Al finally got drunk.


    Her expressionless face became whiter.


    She started talking to anything round and sympathised with it for having a big head (lol).


    Juli came to pick up Al.


    He felt like he was going to go crazy every time Al picked something and talked to it.


    While walking, Al saw a fly and suddenly said she wasn’t a fly.


    Juli smiled in vain and asked Al who called her a fly.


    He decided to tease Al and told her that he was going to scold the one who called her a fly.


    Al said that it was Juli.


    “… Hey! When did I call you a fly?!”


    “When you summoned the fly..”


    After some silence, Juli asked just in case.


    “Are you talking about the king of flies?”


    Al nodded.


    Juli was shocked at how petty Al was.


    The day Al broke the key, Juli was experimenting with a rare book he found when he saw Al while waiting for the result which was why he thought Al was the king of flies at first.


    Juli was fed up and dragged Al back home.


    Perhaps because Al felt relaxed to be home, she started swaying, unable to walk properly.


    Juli helped her to her room.


    Al immediately laid on her bed and slept.


    Juli laughed in vain.


    Seeing Al’s uniform crumpling as she slept kept bothering him


    In the end, he gave up, took out a a pyjama from Al closet.


    Then, he started undressing Al.


    The coat, the inner jacket.


    Finally, it was time to take off the shirt.


    Juli’s hand, which had been loosening the shirt without thinking, stopped with a snap.


    Both of his drowsy eyes began to blink at extreme speed.


    And soon after, his eyes opened wide with astonishment.


    He burst into a strange scream, 'Heeek!' and hurriedly stepped back, jumping out while shouting.


    "What, what, what!"


    When the wall touches his back, he was shocked again.


    He jumped out of the room as though he was running away.


    Then, he saw Chang-Di who just returned from work and shouted at her.


    “You! You knew!”


    Chang-Di frowned as she wondered what Juli was talking about. Then, she noticed that Juli just came out of Al’s room and ran quickly to see Al.


    After some time, Chang-Di came out of Al’s room.


    She thought as she looked at Juli, he must have noticed now.


    Chang-Di smiled.


    “Yes, our sign is a woman-“


    “Was he a hermaphrodite?“


    “…. Hey, you idiot.”


    Chang-Di held back the urge to beat him up.


    Later, Heli and Ren found out that Al was a woman and Chang-Di looked at them as though they were pathetic.


    When Al woke up, she didn’t remember anything after getting drunk.


    When her eyes met Juli’s, Juli screamed “heek!” and jumped back.


    Al wondered.


    What happened while she was drunk?


    (Now only Fay doesn’t know Al’s gender.)

    I’m not sure when I will finish writing part 2, but I will try to write a little every day then update it all at once :cookie:
