    Not much happened here....

    - Abel got choosen to stay in the mansion because He and Maybelle had a similar build.
    <Abel yelled : NO, MASTER!!! I'M BIGGER THAN THE LADYYYY!!!!>

    - Maybelle tried to make a list about her role in the mansion... Um, studying magic, and drinking tea? . She wondered if Abel will put a wig and got dressed by Florence sisters?. Khan interrupted Maybelle's line of thought before it became wilder. The teleportation circle is almost ready.

    - Florence sisters said goodbye and asked Maybelle to be careful and ate healthy foods. Maybelle stood on the magic circle and got swallowed by a bright light.

    - Maybelle, Rykell, Bellerophon, and Khan arrived at a small cottage. The room was full of vines and other plants but it gave a comfortable atmosphere. Rykell told Maybelle that this cottage is related to the elves and Galatea. Rykell's voice was very sad but he maintained a sweet smile while caressing Maybelle's head.

    - Elves are loved by the nature. they have strong elemental affinities and capable to make a contract with Spirit. Galatea had all of these qualities.

    - Maybelle tried to chat with the plants, and everyone stared at her so she stopped.
    <it's a bit sad... Maybelle really wanted to inherit Galatea's real skill...>

    - They left the cottage and arrived at a place with white pillars. Maybelle wondered why her father stopped there, then she saw 3 emblems (Wolf and Moon, A bird, and a horse). She recognized the Cyclamen crest. Bellerophon asked Rykell if he is allowed to tell more about this place to the lady. Rykell nodded.

    - Phon and Khan explained that this place is where magicians gather before the wizard war....
    (Rykell, Galatea, Von Kyle, Azathoth, Raul, and young!Khan participated in this war)

    Hmm.. It seems that this week will full of reminiscences.
    It will be better to make a huge summary because the the cliffhangers will kill our sanity.

    Spoiler : Rykell met with an imperial wizard called "the manager". The manager guided them to a resting place (Galatea built it years ago). Maybelle saw a picture of the war heroes from 12 years ago........

    We got Galatea holding hands with Rykell, Von Kyle, Raul, and a woman with red hair and pointy teeth who resembled someone Maybelle knows...

    Thank God, The backstory only lasted for two chapters ..
    I can't take this amount of sadness... Bless Rykell for his action to cut the reminiscence before it became sadder.

    - Phon and Khan explained that there are more "true mages" like Rykell in the past, but their numbers keep decreasing after the war (dead, being imprisoned or experimented). Rykell touched the pillar with Cyclamen emblem and opened a new path.
    - Bellerophon added new info : the symbols attached to the pillars actually belong to transcendental. Maybelle thought that Rykell is the only person suited to hold the family crest, unlike her fake parents.

    - they arrived in a big room full of doors. Maybelle wondered about who managed this place. Fortunately, her question got answered almost instantly. A hooded man appeared and greet Rykell. He introduced himself as "the manager".

    - The manager is a member of the imperial wizard, and previously he served as a member of Rykell's regiment. He joined the imperial wizard because he didn't want to get experimented and he valued his life (he is not happy, though).

    - The manager guided them to a room created by Galatea. Maybelle saw a picture of her mother smiling while holding hands with her father (grumpy but smiling), Von Kyle with his huge sword, Raul, then a red-haired suin woman with pointy teeth.

    - Khan approached Maybelle and told her that the woman is his mother. He pointed out some similarities between him and the woman, then commented that Abel is more similar to their mother because of the power (fire). The next person in the picture is... A teenager Khan with a face full of mud. It's very different with his current neat appearances (even Rykell commented about his time with young Khan lol)

    - Maybelle shifted her attention to the next person...the unknown man and a short-haired woman. The manager pointed to the man. It was him 12 years ago, and the short-haired woman is the transcendental of the east.

    - Maybelle expressed her wish to make a magical picture similar to this one with her family (Rykell, Phon, Khan, Abel, Florence Sisters, her pets, and Alkan (the chef)). She asked the manager how to create the picture, and the manager told her that it is difficult magic and the one specialized in this area was his friend.

    -Maybelle felt a great amount of sadness when the manager explained about what happened to his closest friend, the one who made the picture. That person tried to run away but got caught and died from the brutal experiment of the imperial family.

    - The Transcendental of the east also took a massive brunt after the war (iirc, Raul is also dying). Maybelle noted that the true wizards are not happy and the war heroes got tormented by the emperor. Rykell stopped the story before the mood became worse.

    - Maybelle suddenly felt a little wave of magic and saw Galatea blinked in the picture. Rykell explained that it was the magic's after-effect, and offered Maybelle to pour some magic to the picture. Maybelle obeyed her father.

    - Maybelle's magic created a big change in the picture. Suddenly the people in the picture were surrounded by flowers from the background plants. Now it looks like that the people were standing with a spring season background

    - The manager cried. Maybelle saw a drop of tear fell to his chin. The manager said that Maybelle granted the wish in his heart with croaked voice, to see the spring season together with his comrade.

    -Maybelle observed and comparing the past and the current Rykell, Khan, and the manager. It seems that she saw both the past and the present altogether.

    - the manager told everyone that he needs to return to his post. He asked Rykell about the time of departure and promised that he will visit again. The manager disintegrated in front of everyone. Phon explained that the real body of the manager stayed in the palace. The one they just meet was his spirit.

    - Maybelle noticed that Phon's behavior is really strange. He looked anxious and tried to hide it. Maybelle grabbed Phon's cloak but Khan called for them to gather before she got a chance to talk.

    - Rykell held a joint meeting with everyone (including the ones in the mansion).

    - The next chapter is very heartwarming and cute. Rykell still spare some of his time to think about parenting even when he takes Maybelle to a dangerous mission, He brought a book about parenting and the title is...amusing
    <WHERE did you buy that book?>

    - Maybelle & Phon got their chance to talk in private free from Rykell's death glare!!! (Phon's Golden Key could be used as a communication device, it's the same as Riri. Unfortunately, Phon's magic power is pretty unstable so he only uses it occasionally)
    <What is your REAL TALENT, Phon? And what about the differences between your usual blue magic aura and the silver-gold ones?>

    - They talked about the bedroom arrangement after dinner. Rykell and Maybelle occupied the main room while Phon and Khan stayed in the other 2 rooms. Maybelle hesitated to go because she wanted to talk to Phon first, but Phon only smiled at her and went to his own room.

    - Maybelle entered the room reluctantly and saw Rykell holding a book with a thoughtful expression. Rykell tried to say something but he stopped in the middle of the sentence. Maybelle became curious..

    - Apparently, the book described that children hated thunder. Maybelle agreed and told her father that she is afraid of the typhoon, too. She always quivered under the blanket and crying while waiting for the storm to end. Rykell and Maybelle accidentally said something at the same time, and Rykell refused to repeat his word (Rykell told Maybelle that he took a pillow and went to his parents' room, while Maybelle told Rykell about her fear under the blanket). Rykell murmured to himself that he will try to not cause a thunder or typhoon near Maybelle.
    <but is it okay to create the snowstorm and freeze everything???>

    -
    They moved on to the next topic, Rykell told Maybelle that it's his first time to act as a father to her, and he felt immature. Maybelle disagrees, she really thought that Rykell is a good father. Rykell then asked if Maybelle wanted to read a book and tell stories together with him before sleep. Maybelle got dumbfounded because she didn't expect this question. She tried to peek the book title in Rykell's hand :

    "IF YOU DO THE OPPOSITE, WILL YOU BECOME A GOOD FATHER!?! 3200 EXAMPLES OF BAD FATHER"
    <God, I laughed so hard in the office while MTL'ing this chapter....>
    <Rykell kau beli buku ini dimana???>


    - Maybelle didn't have many experiences about bedtime stories with her father, so it's a new experience for both of them. She asked if Rykell would like to hear about her stories in the Cyclamen mansion, but got rejected. Rykell expressed his pride of Maybelle's growth (she decided to move on with her life and didn't seek revenge). Maybelle's heart was swollen with happiness. Rykell asked her again, what kind of book she wanted to read?. Maybelle picked a "fairy tale" book, then she left the room to get her pillow and change to pajamas.
    <Actually, Florence sisters read a fairy tale book to her every night>
    < I'm so proud of Rykell's growth as a person here...sob sob...>


    - Maybelle grabbed the pillow in the next room (her actual bedroom, it's connected with Rykell's). Suddenly Maybelle felt a tingling sensation on her neck. silver light shone brightly and the golden key appeared. Maybelle heard Bellerophon's voice greeted her through the key.

    - Phon could communicate with Maybelle through the key, but it was not easy because his power is unstable. Maybelle asked if Phon was sick. Phon answered that he was a bit nervous because he will go to the palace after years. Maybelle became worried and asked again if he was okay. Phon thanked her and he said it is okay to proceed with the mission.

    - The golden key disappeared as soon as Bellerophon ended their conversation, and Maybelle wondering about the nature of Riri and the Key. They are similar because their connection to Phon and they can be used as a communication device. Riri appeared and Maybelle stroked its feather while walking to the main bedroom.
    <the bird's favorite hiding place is... maybelle's hair.>

    - Maybelle returned to the room. Rykell already held a new book (a fairy tale book) and he didn't comment about the reason Maybelle took a very long time when she only needs to change clothes and grab the pillow.

    - The book in Rykell's hands is Galatea's handiwork. She wanted to read the book for her child in the future. Rykell's expression became distant, Maybelle realized that her father drowned in another reminiscence.
    <damn, it hurts! Huwaaaaa>

    - Maybelle grabbed Rykell's hand and told him that her mother is a great person. Rykell agreed, and he started to read the book....

    - Maybelle woke at dawn, and realized that both of her father and Khan were up and discussing something. Rykell sent her sleep again with magic until morning came.

    - Maybelle met Phon in the dining room. she walked to the table and planned to take a seat beside him, unfortunately, Rykell didn't like the idea and lifted Maybelle's body against her will (using magic as usual).

    - Maybelle sat beside her father. Rykell murmured something (That he will stand up and won't leave them alone). Maybelle followed Rykell's line of sight: he stared at Bellerophon.
    <Man..he was jealous because his daughter automatically went to his student when he was around looool...>

    - They discussed the plan while having breakfast. Maybelle's task was to hide and looking for someone (Tristan?), while Rykell do the big job.

    - The manager came and greet them. He conjured a long magic staff (shaped like a very big key) and starting to create a magic circle. Maybelle felt the golden key responded to the magic but disappeared instantly.

    - The magic used by the manager felt familiar with Maybelle. She got the same feeling from Raul's magic. A big door appeared on the magic circle, and Rykell started to walk towards the door.

    - The manager asked Rykell : Will he executing his plan?. Rykell said yes. Actually, Rykell planned something years ago (22 years of preparation, the heck!!!). Maybelle got the feeling that it was related to her mother.

    - Rykell offered the manager to join him and fill Galatea's role. The manager said yes. He was prepared to left the imperial and joined Rykell anytime. he wanted to repay the favor from Rykell & Galatea.

    - Rykell and co. arrived in the capital, he ordered Khan to took out some masks and instructed his team to wear it.

    - Maybelle : rabbit
    - Khan : Silver wolf
    - Rykell : Black wolf
    - Phon : Jaguar

    - Rykell explained that the masks will help them to counter the protection magic and traps in the palace.

    Now I'm confused about the timeline. Iirc, the wizard war/mage rebellion happened at least 20 years prior to the story, and that's when the emperor imposed a restriction towards magic.
    (The wizards rebelled against the imperial family and the holy temple, and they got crushed).

    Rykell planned something for 22 years..

    Just what happened in the past?

    The cliffhanger in chap 146 is pretty bad... Uh.

    All I can say :

    Rykell definitely prepared a good plan, but it seems that there is another nasty trap from the emperor. Maybelle heard a mysterious laugh (but no one around except the four) when they discussed the plan for the final time.

    - Rykell and Khan will make a (very big) commotion in the palace.

    - Maybelle & Bellerophon must infiltrate the tower to look for Raul's nephew as soon as possible.

    The thing is : Rykell ALLOWED Maybelle & Phon to fail, or even got caught as long as they found Raul's nephew first.....

    - the escape scene and Maybelle's resolution to help her "family" are pretty much the same as the novel.
    <I kinda ship Scylla and Khan lol>

    - The new scene started when Rykell, Khan, and the florence sisters went shopping and they left Phon together with Maybelle.
    <no flirting, Phon? That's rare>

    - Wow, Duchess Kyle appeared!!!! She is the short haired knight with golden eyes who asked Aslan if Maybelle is his girlfriend (Maybelle and Aslan's reactions are so funny).
    <Thank god she still alive and well..., but now I wonder what is Von Kyle's proof of loyalty?...hmm>.

    - Phon just observed the scene in silence (not surprising, because Aslan didn't know him at all).

    - and Lasol's feeding time takes the cake as the funniest moment of this week's episode!!!!

    I'm going to write he summary for the prelude and main chapter for imperial banquet / dance party. Aslan and Phon's formal meeting still cracked me up...

    -- this part happened right after Maybelle gave the bird and drake their new name. Lasol acknowledged Maybelle as its master and transformed to a little drake, while Riri's eyes turned yellow--

    - Maybelle thought about the festival, it was already in the mid of the week and Maybelle felt a bit sad. Then she remembered Abel who stayed at the northern mansion..
    - Maybelle thought that if Abel went together with them, he will be the one who explained many things to her, not Bellerophon. Coincidentally, Phon walked in and asked what she was thinking about. Maybelle noticed that Phon was not happy when she told him that she wanted Abel to be there, too.
    - Maybelle also commented that Abel is a grumpy person. Phon asked her if she likes a "friendly person", and Maybelle said yes.
    <maybelle's line of thinking : friendly person is better than scary person, right. at least Phon's mood became better lol>

    - Rykell promised Maybelle to teach her about magic, but the full-time lesson will be decided after they return to the northern mansion. The first lesson in the capital is something like a preliminary class, and she was excited. She entered the room together with Phon, and a jealous Rykell lifted her away from the boy with the "3-minutes" excuse.

    - Maybelle tried to ask Rykell about the magic class, but Rykell denied that they will do it today. The atmosphere became awkward and Phon decided to step in. He defended Maybelle and chided Rykell that he knew about the class and he will assist them. Rykell stared at Phon with his infamous death glare and told him to shut up, but Phon didn't falter and just standing naturally. Phon continued that it will be better if Maybelle stayed in the mansion because there will be many "dangerous object" in the market today.

    - Maybelle became curious. Why Phon will assist them?. Phon explained about the broken barrier in the mansion. Rykell will re-applied it today and Phon wanted to help him. Phon's existence is an important factor in the barrier.
    <yah, we all know the reason, right. if Rykell put an absolute barrier, Phon won't be able to get in lol>

    - Maybelle stared at Phon with sparkling eyes, she praised that Phon is awesome because making a barrier needs complicated magic. Rykell denied it and told that many wizards also do the same. The magic is not that complicated. Maybelle recalled about Claudel's achievements and thought that maybe Phon's talent is bigger than Claudel. Then she remembered something...

    - Maybelle asked: How old is Phon? and Phon told Maybelle that he is 3 years older than her, but maybe he needed to add 1 more year because there was a custom in his clan to acknowledged the birth of a baby 1 year later. Maybelle tried to ask further and Phon just answered: "up there..".while staring at the window. Rykell cut their conversation and warned Phon. Maybelle realized that she pushed the wrong button.

    - Khan arrived and informed that Rykell had visitors. Von Kyle and his son. Rykell had a little trouble deciding whether he will kick both of them or not. But Khan also added 1 more info: Von Kyle brought something important. Maybelle stood in her place, she wanted to follow her father but afraid that the awkward situation will repeat itself. Rykell stopped and glanced at her, asking if she didn't want to go with him. Maybelle immediately ran and grabbed Rykell's hand, while Phon and Khan laughed at them.

    - Von Kyle stood alone in the reception room. He said that he left his son at the front door because he felt that Rykell won't be happy of he let his son in. Maybelle was surprised because Von wore formal clothes. Von explained that he just visited the imperial palace and met with the emperor, and he brought something to Rykell. The emperor was displeased to hear that Rykell came to the capital but avoiding the imperial palace. Von pulled out an envelope from his chest.

    - The envelope floated and Maybelle saw the magic circle, similar to the invitation they received at the northern mansion. The envelope's colour turned red (similar to blood) and when it opened itself, the magic inside formed some sentences (with red ink). everyone can read it : Rykell Cyclamen, You must attend the imperial banquet. Bring your daughter. Then the red ink transformed to a chain and wrapped Rykell's hand. Maybelle hurriedly run to her father, and she saw black tattoo on Rykell's hand. a pair of bat wings.
    <man, it is a howler from the emperor...>

    - Maybelle asked if Rykell is hurt, and her father just stroked her hair gently. Von Kyle approached Maybelle and kneeled down in front of her. He explained that Rykell must obey the emperor, then Maybelle saw that Von Kyle also had the same chain on his arm. Rykell let Von Kyle to explain more about the covenant but cut him abruptly when Von almost touch the sensitive topic (he literally threw the big man to the sofa and restrain him with gravity magic). Rykell gave a signal to Khan. Khan politely asked Maybelle if she wanted to eat some snack and tea in the garden because Rykell will discuss something privately with Kyle. Maybelle agreed. She and Phon left the room. Maybelle walked alone to the front door. Phon told her to go ahead and he'll join her as soon as possible.
    <he went to Maybelle's room to fetch her favourite blanket/shawl. how sweet>

    - Maybelle thought about the dance party and her father's somber expression while walking to the garden.

    - She found Aslan wandering around in the garden. Both were surprised that their fathers are related. Aslan didn't expect that Maybelle is the daughter of the archmage.

    - Aslan formally introduced himself as Aslan Justice Kyle, the eldest son of Duke Kyle. Maybelle stared at him blankly. Von Kyle didn't look like a noble lol. The girl started to think if she must using a formal speech, too.

    - Aslan asked if Maybelle is willing to accept his greeting. He reached out to Maybelle, and when Maybelle put her hand on Aslan's...

    - Suddenly Maybelle found herself sat on the opposite side of Aslan... she got teleported lol.

    - Bellerophon stood beside her (yeah, he is the culprit), and warned her not to give her hand to someone carelessly. He wrapped Maybelle's shoulders with a white shawl.

    - Phon asked Maybelle if she felt cold, and Maybelle answered that it's a bit windy outside. Phon glared at Aslan with a disapproving look. Aslan panicked and apologized to Maybelle for his negligence.

    - Aslan is not amused. he asked Maybelle about the boy. Bellerophon politely introduced himself as Rykell's disciple. Aslan's expression became brighter. Apparently he heard that the archmage got a disciple

    - Khan arrived with the tea sets and snacks. Maybelle was astonished when she saw Khan greeted Aslan POLITELY, and apologized that he didn't greet him sooner. Khan's reason was: Aslan resembled his mother. Of course, Aslan felt happy lol. His father is pretty wild.

    - Rykell came (he teleported himself) and joined the tea time. Von Kyle jumped from the 2nd floor and landed smoothly.

    - The happy conversation became a heated one when Von Kyle bragged about Aslan (poor boy got embarrassed lol). he asked Maybelle if his son is handsome. Maybelle thought about it seriously. Well, Aslan definitely not bad. but her indicator for "handsome and cool" was actually: Bellerophon (no.2), and Rykell (the champion and the brightest person in the world).

    - Maybelle stuttered. Papa Rykell joined the fray and asked Maybelle, who is the best between them. Maybelle got embarrassed and quickly answered that "Rykell is the coolest".

    - Rykell glanced at Von Kyle with a smug face. He said: My daughter's eyesight is correct".

    - Von Kyle didn't expect to see this side of Rykell, he didn't believe this "Doting Father" mode.Rykell and Khan considering throwing both of Aslan and Von Kyle to the northern glacier.

    - The tea time continued. Aslan got teleported to the porch thank to Rykell's lame excuse: "You're blocking the view". Phon complimented his teacher while Maybelle got confused about why Phon and Rykell behaved this way.

    - Rykell's final decision: he will take Maybelle to the imperial banquet. Von and Aslan bid their farewell.


    >> The next part is the "shopping trip".
    Maybelle wanted to buy a new gown. Her companions for the shopping trip were: Rykell, Khan, and Bellerophon. RIP common sense. Rykell wanted to buy the boutique, Khan's resolution is as soft as a butter, while Bellerophon watched all of the madness with an amused face.

    Finally, an acceptable cliffhanger.
    I'm still typing the summary of the dance party, but the current plot is more important.

    - Rykell reviewed the plan for the final time. He and Khan will go to the main palace and created (a big) commotion, while Maybelle & Phon doing the real kidnapping mission.

    - Maybelle was happy that she could do something to help her father, but she felt uneasy. What if she messed up?. Rykell comforted her and said that the main mission was to found Raul's nephew. It doesn't matter if she failed.

    - Maybelle became worried. If she got caught, what will happen to Rykell, because the damn covenant still there. Rykell already knew that Maybelle worried about him. He told her that there is a way to get around the chain. And he already prepared for the risk, plus he won't put his precious daughter in danger.

    - Rykell & Khan went their way and now only Maybelle & Phon remained. Maybelle thought about the plan, and she knew that failure is not an option. Suddenly Maybelle heard a faint laugh, but no one is around.

    - After she observed the place for a while, Maybelle realized that their current location is familiar to her. It was the temple where Rykell showed her the remnant of Galatea's magic. Phon gave her more information: the temple was abandoned and previously, there was only one occupant.

    - Phon guided Maybelle to their destination. Maybelle asked if Phon really memorized all of the routes. Phon replied that he studied hard, and added that his mother was excellent in geography with a sad voice. Maybelle was curious but she decided to remain silent for now.
    <Maybelle used Ig's stealth ability while Phon using his own stealth magic to erase his presence.>

    - they arrived at a dilapidated castle, and Maybelle felt an enormous magical power. Phon tried to measure the time and distance, and they decided to wait for the guard rotation in the nearby bushes. The security was pretty lax (only some wizards stood in front of the castle).

    - Maybelle asked Phon if their plan will really work. Phon didn't need much time to guess what was inside Maybelle's head. He explained that Rykell deliberately made what looks like a shabby plan for a greater purpose. Everyone will expect a "perfect plan" from a transcendental, and Rykell wanted to create a big ripple.

    - the current imperial family had many enemies (and now Bliss' country is one of them), it's hard to determine who will act first, so Bellerophon focused on the "how will they act".

    - Rykell definitely tried to avoid a large scale conflict such as a big war, because the late Galatea didn't want it to happen, and he will do his best to minimize the victim.

    - Phon also gave Maybelle a very important piece of information and asked her to keep it a secret.
    <And Maybelle lost her focus for a moment because she was busy admiring Phon's silver hair>

    - Rykell planned to broke the covenant by force. He had been prepared for more than 10 years and now he had a chance to do it. Maybelle realized that SHE is the deciding factor. Phon asked Maybelle to hear the full story from Rykell himself.

    - The wizards who guarded the castle already long gone and Maybelle finally realized that her position was too close to Phon. She stood abruptly and stumbled upon something. It was a sandbag, and now the sands spilled everywhere. Phon caught her before she fell.
    <dengan ini edisi mojok di semak-semak telah berakhir...>

    - Bellerophon explained that the sand is a magic item to erase the trace of magic. Maybelle felt a wave of familiar magic, but couldn't determine the owner. She followed the magic trace and arrived in front of a large tree.
    <Phon felt nothing, and Maybelle is more sensitive to magic wave than him. Actually Maybelle asked Phon if it's okay if they took their time to wander around, and Phon didn't refuse and allowed Maybelle to do what she wanted>

    - Maybelle saw a green magic circle and asked if Phon recognized it. Phon's face hardened. He said that the formula was Galatea's signature, and now he felt her magic, too. Maybelle finally knew why the magic felt familiar, it was the same as the magic left inside Galatea's staff in the northern mansion.

    - Phon commented that it was a good moment for Maybelle, because she found another memento from her mother in the middle of the mission. Maybelle wondered the reason why her mother used magic in this secluded place. She touched the magic circle and...

    - a warm light pulled Maybelle and Phon to another place. They didn't resist because the light was gentle. Maybelle heard a voice. It asked about her wish. Maybelle (fortunately) remembered her main objective: To found Raul's nephew. She didn't know his face and where to look for.

    - Maybelle found herself in front of a building. She heard Phon's voice but he was nowhere to be found. Phon talked to her via the key, and confirmed that they got separated thanks to the light lol. Fortunately, they got teleported to the same location, but in the different parts of the building. Phon promised to join her as soon as possible (Riri sent signals to him).

    - Maybelle wondered if the tree really helped her to get close to the child's location. She entered the hallway and took out the "sign" Rykell gave to her. He said that it will glow if the child was near. Maybelle kept walking and then she heard voices.....

    148-149 :
    Maybelle found her target. A child with the same power as Raul. Maybelle saw her past-self when the child broke down in front of her. The emperor said that he is a useless child and will spend his entire life imprisoned in the castle.

    .... And the child's appearance is not human at all. It's like an animal.



    <GDI Phon,where are you? Better grab the child and run as soon as possible >

    So the name "tristan" in chapter 127 is a red herring lol. Let's see if he will appear in another place

    I can't decide about the correct spelling for the child's name (Rani, Ranee, Raney, Laney??? .the MTL spelling changed depended on my internet connection). So I pick Raney for this summary :ROFLMAO:

    - Maybelle wandered around the hallway, the voices she heard actually came from the patrolling wizards.

    - the wizards were arguing about using black magic in the building, then suddenly the ground shook hard and Maybelle found herself in another room.

    - she heard a child's voice and saw.... Uh. A little pony (maybe a unicorn foal is more appropriate). Silver mane, four legs, and a horn on his head. Maybelle saw the "sign" glowed and the pony shouted that the hairpin in Maybelle's hand was his'.

    - Maybelle didn't expect this situation at all. She doubted that this ... foal is Raul's nephew, but there are some resemblance between them. (same eye colour, and the whistling sound when he speaks/uses magic). The child introduced himself as Raney Clifferdia.

    - Raney's way of speech was zig-zagging between afraid and happy tone. He likes Maybelle's voice and somehow their chat became very loud because Raney asked Maybelle to repeat her words louder for several times. Fortunately the guards heard nothing because there is a very strong voice blocking spell in this room.
    <the guard put the spell so they won't hear Raney's cry for help>

    - Maybelle introduced herself and told the child that Raul sent her to get him out from this place. Raney started crying and Maybelle heard his story about the harsh treatment he got from the emperor. He thought that he is a useless child and it is his fate to spend his entire life imprisoned in this room.

    - Maybelle hugged Raney and stroked his mane, she told him that she has a friend with a very soft hair, but Raney's mane is softer than this friend's hair (sorry, Abel.). She tried to comfort the child and told him that the outside world is much better than this room.

    - Maybelle's persuasion worked well. Raney wanted to get out, and Maybelle asked several questions because she needs to know if the emperor put some evil spells or even used this child as one of his experiment subjects. Raney said no, and Maybelle didn't feel any discomfort. She hoped that Phon was there to do a closer inspection, but she decided to move and the inspection could wait. Maybelle walked to the door and turned her head to Raney.. But...

    - Raney started crying again and didn't move from his place. He asked Maybelle if Raul really wanted to see him. Raul was supposed to visit him once a year but there were times when he didn't come at all. Maybelle realized that there is a big misunderstanding between Raul and the child.

    - Maybelle made a quick comparison between her situation and Raney's. Raney's condition was significantly worser than hers, so Maybelle choose to explain everything to him (about the covenant and her past). Raney still worried and afraid that Raul will reject him. Maybelle offered him to live in the northern mansion together with her if it really happen, and promised to introduced him to her friend (Abel again lol...).

    - Finally, Raney agreed to made his escape together with Maybelle. Maybelle opened the door and scanned the hallway. The guards were gone. They started to move when they heard a very loud explosion from faraway.

    - the explosion was a signal from Rykell. Maybelle started to run faster but the magical alarm got activated because Raney left the room. Maybelle heard footsteps from the both side of corridors, and they will be surrounded from both side.

    - Maybelle took out Rossi, then dragged Raney to hid inside an old cupboard (thank god there is enough space for both of them). She ordered Ig to extend the stealth skill to cover Raney. Maybelle didn't sure if it will work but it was her last bet to protect Raney. The commotion now became clear and the guards were aware that the hostage was missing. Maybelle and Raney held their breath in fear. The guards opened the cupboard and saw nothing.
    <Maybelle tried to cover Phon with Ig's stealth skill, but it failed. Phon doesn't really needs the help, though.>

    - the guards left the corridors and went to the 2nd floor. Maybelle & Raney finally relaxed. Maybelle considered that now it is the right time to contact Bellerophon. She hold the key and started to infuse her magic power to it. Maybelle also had a chat with Raney while doing it.

    - Maybelle asked Raney if he was a human. The child didn't get the meaning, and Maybelle pushed further. Raul is a human, but Raney is not, did the emperor do something bad to him?. Raney laughed at her question, and answered that it is natural if he is different from Raul. Now it's Maybelle's turn to be confused.

    - Raney asked Maybelle why her hair colour is blue. Maybelle answered that her hair is similar with Rykell's. Raney nodded happily, and told her that it is the same for him. He resembled his father.
    <now it's OUR turn to shut down any wild imagination>

    - Raney explained that he is a unicorn, and he said that Raul is one, too!. Unicorns could transform into a humanoid form once they reached adulthood. Raul and Raney were the last two of their kind.
    <NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....>

    - Bellerophon didn't answer and Maybelle became worried. Both of them already discussed some scenarios if they got separated. The first option was to use the key, and if something happened and Phon can't answer the call, They will meet at a designated place.

    - Still no answer from Phon, so Maybelle chooses to continue with the 2nd plan. Maybelle & Raney were on the 6th floor, so they started to go down. The 5th floor was safe, but when Maybelle reached the 4th floor, the ground shook. Maybelle felt a nasty magic wave and thought that the situation became dangerous

    - The wizards were busy looking for the intruders. Maybelle heard that the anti-magic spell had been activated and some of the guards fought in a battle against "someone". Maybelle quickly took out Rossi and looked for any place to hide, but Raney got spotted by one of the wizards.

    - Maybelle and Raney got surrounded. Rossi told Maybelle that they could fight, but the reality hit hard. Maybelle could use her magic but she got nerfed so bad that she couldn't attack the wizard. Fortunately, Riri's magic shield worked well. Maybelle told Raney that no matter what happens, she will deliver him to Raul.

    - In the end Maybelle choose to do something crazy, she knew that Bellerophon was fighting somewhere (the probability that his magic got disabled by anti-magic field was high, but he can fight using a sword...), and the only option for both of them was to meet at the promised place.

    - Maybelle asked Raney to jumped off from the 4th floor together with her!. Raney agreed and told Maybelle that he was not afraid at all. They reached the railing and jump. Maybelle tried to activate the floating magic spell, it worked, but the power was not enough to slow down the fall..

    Chapter 152 : the desperate escape continued, and as expected... Raney & Maybelle got captured by the emperor...

    Then someone grabbed her hand, lifted Raney and they run....
    Maybelle saw her savior, a boy who reminded her of sunshine.

    Aslan.


    I'll post the full summaries after they published more info about what happened to Phon :cry: . If the sunshine boy is here, there is a chance that his parents is also present. hopefully they can help Phon.

    Okay, Bellerophon appeared in chap 153.

    -Maybelle tried to use magic, but she failed. Fortunately, Raney got a secret trick up his sleeve.

    - Purple magic aura burst out from him and Maybelle saw a pair of little wings on his back. Raney pulled Maybelle's clothes with his mouth and he tried to fly...but Maybelle is too heavy. tl;dr : they landed safely, it was not a smooth landing, though.

    - Their pursuers started to catch up. Maybelle blocked the doors with trees and ice magic. She planned to hid in the bushes and use Ig's stealth skill...

    - Maybelle and Raney started to run, but something bind them to the ground, a black thread chained them and Maybelle started to feel pain.

    - Someone arrived at the scene, he commented that there is an unpleasant guest, then corrected himself that this guest is good.

    - The Emperor approached Maybelle, his eye colour turned gold and an ominous black aura on his hand.

    - Maybelle tried to struggle, and Rossi emanates pink aura. The emperor noted that Maybelle is an interesting "ingredient", even better than Galatea.

    - Maybelle almost couldn't control herself when she heard Galatea's name. Rossi's pink Aura became brighter and then suddenly the room became full of smoke.
    Maybelle saw a little smoke ball thrown from somewhere, it exploded and got mixed with Rossi's magic.

    - Someone grabbed Maybelle's hand and dragged her from the scene while the guards were busy protecting the emperor. Maybelle asked about her friend, then she saw Raney's silhouette on her savior's shoulder.

    - They kept running. Maybelle spread the smoke even further with her magic, and Riri was busy doing something behind Maybelle's back to hinder their pursuers.
    - Finally they stopped. Maybelle finally had a good look at her savior, its Aslan.

    - Maybelle asked if Aslan is the one who free Raney from the bind. The boy said yes and smiled brightly.

    - to sum the story, Aslan was there by pure coincidences. His secret training ground is nearby.

    - Aslan hold Maybelle's trembling hand, then pat her back in steady rhythm to calm her down (he hugged her). He said that it's okay if Maybelle wants to curse or hit him later.
    <well, Rykell and Bellerophon will more than happy to do it in Maybelle's stead>

    - Aslan asked about Rykell's whereabouts, then about Phon's. He assured Maybelle that Phon definitely will finds her and no need to worry because she has the strongest archmage in the empire to protect her.
    <and he admitted that he was jealous lol>.

    - Aslan heard the guard's footsteps, and he told Maybelle to hid herself and Raney while he distract them. Maybelle wanted to help him but Aslan told her that she had someone to protect right now --> the unconscious Raney. Mr Sunshine assured Maybelle that he will be fine and he will join Rykell soon. He left after he kissed Maybelle's hand as a sign of courtesy.

    - Maybelle lifted Raney using magic and she run to the place where no one is around. But the emperor already waited for her. He commented that he used to do this with Galatea, who tried to run from his grasp numerous times.

    - The emperor casually dropped the brick. He told Maybelle how Galatea met her end. (Galatea was used as an experiment subject and killed in action when she tried to run. She became ingredient and living sacrifice for the evil being, all of her mana were taken by the emperor).Maybelle snapped and attacked him in pure fury (She managed to injure his cheek, and put a crack to his barrier). The battle of endurance became dangerous when the emperor attacked Raney (still unconscious). Maybelle jumped to protect him and fell. She couldn't avoid the next attack (although she and Rossi struggled hard. Maybelle knew that something terrible will happen if she got touched and dragged by the black aura).

    - A strong wind spell protected Maybelle from the Emperor's black magic. Maybelle got confused at first because Raul is not here, and Raney was incapacitated. Then she realized that the magic power is familiar to her.

    - Bellerophon stood in front of her. He apologized for his late arrival and told her that there were many obstacles in his way :LOL: . Maybelle found her new hope and wanted to fight together with Phon because 2 vs 1 is better, and Rykell will definitely come so they need to hold on... Then she remembered that Phon shouldn't met with the emperor.

    - Phon smiled and told her that he already prepared for this. Then the Emperor's black magic destroyed his jaguar mask... the silver hair and amethyst eyes got exposed.

    - Emperor : "you..."

    Aaaah. Aslan's appearance is too shooooort :cry:

    it hurts :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

    - Rykell added extra layer of protection to Bellerophon's face lol
    - Maybelle finally knows how painful the chain is, the damn emperor chained her with the gold and black chain.
    - And of course, Phon can't stand it anymore and broke his promise to Rykell (to hide his identity at all cost until the right time). He asked Maybelle to hold the rein if he became a monster.
    - The emperor laughs like a maniac when he (finally) recognize Phon.
    <new info : Phon became an experiment subject even when he still inside his mother's womb!.:blobsob: >
    - Papa Rykell and Khan finally come!

    I'll add more spoilers later.

    The most heart warming moment for me : Rykell referred Phon as "disciple" , and being considerate about the broken promise :aww:
