    - The Arabella test was suspended. There was a big uproar because 2 participants almost died in the landslide
    - Conrad left with the other knights to investigate the landslide and the unnatural accidents, and Leslie reunited with her maids and the other salvatore knights.
    - Duchess Salvatore and her husband went to the temple to meet with their daughter, she promised his husband that she will tell leslie everything.
    - Although the temple said that the test was suspended, they still announced who passed the test, and there is a reccomendation system where the participants can recommend each other together with the priest and refugees. ELI recommends LESLIE. In the end, leslie got the Arabella brooch, Leslie can't wait to show it to the duchess. oh, and Eli passed the test, too.
    - The duchess arrived in the temple. Leslie introduced Celis to her family (Celis fainted when she meet her hero lol) and they went home
    - Leslie told the duchess about what happened after she fell to the river. At first, she tried her best to hid her darkness power, but now the high priestess knew about it. She asked her mother if it's okay to tell Conrad.
    - Duchess Salvatore didn't mind. Conrad is a reliable person, and the real problem is his father (the Duke Altera).
    - They talked about the high priestess, if she didn't cooperate with Sperado, who is behind the scene?. Medea. Leslie was surprised.
    - In the end, the Duchess hold Leslie, and firmly told her daughter to give up the Arabella position.
    - Leslie became confused... after all of this hardwork and success, now she must give up? What will happen to the contract between her and the Duchess?.
    - Medea will hold a party for the Arabella test participant. She got the emperor's permission.

    - Cyrene and Bethrion went too far lol, buying building and constructed a small town for Leslie. Luenti is their magic stone supplier to decorate everything.
    - Now Luenti's hair became one of leslie's plaything to reduce her stress lol
    - Lentius and Conrad still busy investigating the landslide, now it's clear that the landslide is a magician's work. The temple asked for magician's tower for help. Lentius suggest Conrad to return to the capital, there are many things to be done.
    - Luenti and Beth tried to comfort a sullen Leslie, who think that the duchess hid something and hate her.
    - In the background, All of Salvatore except Leslie were busy researching about epialtes, The duchess used her connections.
    - The ball preparation still going, and now Salvatore Estate became crowded, several guests from the other countries were come and staying. They bring info about Epialtes to Luenti and one of the guest was Duchess' old comrade.
    - That night, the duchess told Leslie everything, about the danger she will face as Arabella who seals Epialtes if the legend is true. Leslie was surprised, but she believes that her mother will protect her from Medea. So she will continue her role.
    - Celis visited leslie's mansion before the ball. another sweet time between friends happened.
    - Leslie got a letter from her uncle. he said that he was proud when he heard that leslie became Arabella. Conrad sent her a short letter. he wanted to be Leslie's partner in the party. Luenti knew about Conrad's letter. He said that he and the duchess are fine with it. If something happen, Conrad could protect her in his stead so no need to use the darkness power. Luenti himself will go investigate the landslide as a representative of magician's tower.

    update :
    - The emperor actually hadn't appointed a successor, yet. It's between Arendo or his little brother Constein(?). Medea wanted Arendo to be the next emperor, and she didn't hesitate to use Eli in her plan.
    - When Pistore made his decision, he invited Duke Aitera to discuss his decision. He picked Constein as the crown prince. Pistore planned to summon Duchess Assela and her husband next time.
    - Conrad's mother, Duchess Aitera's health was deteriorated because of an incurable disease. Conrad's eyes always looked sad when Leslie asked about his mother's condition.

    - Leslie went to Medea's special party together with her parents and Bethrion. Luenti still investigating the landslide and kept contact with Conrad.
    - Hart tagged along as Leslie's escort. His position in the noble party is a bit problem, although Hart was given a noble title, he didn't have territory and lived with Salvatore family.
    - Now Cyrene wanted to make a big family portrait lol
    - The maids were busy giving advise to Leslie to avoid unpleasant people, and Leslie picked the sharpest high heels in her wardrobe so she can pretend to accidentally stepped on whoever harassed her or Hart.
    - Leslie was nervous, but Bethrion and the duchess Salvatore comfort her. It doesn't matter if she broke a protocol, because no one dared to talk back to them
    - Beth reminded leslie about the ridiculous marriage criteria, and leslie must tell him immediately when she finds a suspicion person
    - many nobles attend this party just to see the Salvatores, because the rarely attend public events. How Duchess Assela married a mercenary is a hot topic.
    - Leslie raided the desserts together with Celis.
    - Happy situation turned sour when Eli came as Arendo's partner, together with Medea. eli came with the same arrogance as the old Eli Sperado.
    - Duchess and Medea quarreled again, Eli harassed Hart but Leslie more than happy to defend her escort. Later, a tired leslie walked alone in the garden, and met Arendo.
    - Arendo asked about Leslie's partner, because Luenti is not around. He IS A TOTAL JERK and full of himself, Leslie thought that Eli is a good match for him.
    - Arendo started to boast that Salvatore's loyalty is to the royal family, so she must obey what he said. Leslie coldly reminded him that the Emperor still not officialy appointed him as his successor, and Salvatore family is a master of their own. Before the heated argument exploded, Conrad grabbed Arendo's arm and told him to stop.
    - Conrad smiled brightly when he saw Leslie, but his golden eyes became cold when talking to Arendo. Finally Arendo left the scene and Conrad apologized for coming late.
    - Conrad came with Constein, the 2nd prince. he introduced himself to Leslie.
    - When they planned to return to the ball, Leslie remembered that she needs to talk about her secret to Conrad. She asked Hart ( he is Leslie's swordsmanship teacher, and he is a part of limited people who knew Leslie's real power) to guard her from a distance.
    - Leslie didn't know where to start, but when she saw Conrad's eyes she just talked about everything automatically.
    - Conrad told Leslie that he is a bit hurt, But everything is okay now. They will continue their relationship as usual (yeah, visiting the dessert shops, discussing about holy language and theology, random walk in the temple garden..)
    - Conrad asked Leslie to return to the ball with Hart first, because he wanted to stay for a little while in the garden. He contemplated about Marquis Sperado and his cruelty. When he heard music, he prepared to return to the hall to meet Leslie, but something caught his eye..

    Yeah. The story has been completed and there is a side story about how the Duchess met Cyrene.
    Well, Conrad never let Leslie angsting over something for a long time. He is mature enough to control his emotions and the only time he ever mad at Leslie is when he found her stalking the enemy alone without escort.

    Here is the update. I'm reading using Kakaopage so it's a bit hard to do the cash management...especially the webtoon published weekly (on wednesdays), too. ahahaha.

    - Leslie joined Bethrion and tricked him to ate a sour cake..
    - Duchess Salvator spoke to Celis' family. She found out something particular about the herb in the 2nd Arabella test incident. Then she bumped into someone.. Leslie and Eli's biological mother. their encounter didn't last long, and the lady left the Duchess in embarrassment.
    - Marquis Sperado hid behind the bushes while observing the party. He whined about his current situation (Medea and Eli ignored him, and he didn't get any protection from those two so he hid in Leslie's room in the attic of Sperado mansion).
    - Conrad's world turned upside down. He can't believe what he saw.. and returned to Leslie with darker expression and there was some dirt in his clothes. Leslie started to think about the next dessert shop she will visit with Conrad, She wanted to make him better (yeah, she still not realize that Conrad doesn't eat sweets even after 4 years lol)
    - Ephiel (medea's maid) talked to 2 children, they are arabella test participants. She asked the children to help Arabella and there is a special task for them.
    - Luenti finished the investigation and yep, the landslide was 100% done by magic. Knowing that the magician tower refused to be involved, Luenti choose to get a vacation leave and end this case himself as a member of Salvatore family.

    - Bethrion found an ancient manuscript about the family lineage in Lecardius Empire. First is Salvatore family with their strong physical strength and magic, The second is royal family with divine power, Sperado family and their darkness, and a lost generation of family born with both divine power and magic.
    - Cyrene investigates about Medea's background, and why she wanted Arendo to be a king so badly.
    - Luenti returned home with a copy of the notebook from Sperado family. He let Leslie to read the notes about the sacrifice (leslie grimaced when she read that her ancestor left a full book about how they kill their own family by burning, drowning etc). Most of the notes were written in ancient language. In the other hand, Luenti also brought a bad news, Medea already know about the notes and the black chain.
    - Leslie's head hurt from frustation, so she left the mansion to get a fresh air.

    - Leslie using a plain carriage but she can't move further because the road was blocked by a collapsed shop. The capital is bustling because Arabella festival is near so the roads are crowded. Leslie and her escort starting to talk about chicken skewer lol
    - When they know that it's impossible to continue with carriage, leslie opt to walk...but her intention relax was interrupted when she saw two children and then Ephiel.
    - Ephiel started to leave, and Leslie started to follow her quietly. And she found herself alone in the outskirts of the town full of slums, and bar. Ephiel entered an inn and started to argue with a man. Leslie tried to get closer, but she was caught by someone.
    - It's Conrad. He helped the Salvatore to locate Leslie's whereabout because she was separated from her escort (so he still keep that magic stone, eh..). Conrad was angry, but leslie told him that she wanted to help her mother and no one can;t stop her. before Conrad said anything, Ephiel and the man's dispute became louder. Conrad saw someone he knew from Lentius' heroic story about Etai, and froze when he heard Ephiel's statement that her superior already gave enough money to the man. That sum is equal to a year budget to maintain a ducal territory.
    - Conrad and Leslie managed to return without being caught and now facing the duchess Salvatore.
    - Jenna is busy sorting all of the new informations, and the biggest problem actually is Leslie, who went to buy flowers but returned with Conrad in a messy state. She knew that when the meeting end, there will be a lot of agendas...
    - Duchess Salvatore became speechless when Conrad told her that Duke Aitera is a traitor to the emperor. Conrad saw his father met with Ephiel at the party. He was given a bouquet and a mysterious potion. and there is an indication that Medea is plotting a rebel...with Duke Aitera support her financially. Although Conrad mostly away from the Aitera Household, he secretly kept tracking about his father's movement from the diary written by his little brother, and he noticed that his family lost a year worth of money because of a sunken trading ship.
    - Conrad then reported about the Etai member he saw. After a short moment, the Duchess said that She will go to the Emperor.
    - Duchess Salvatore told Conrad to be prepared, Aitera family will be doomed when his father is proven guilty. She told Conrad to return as soon as possible to his family.
    - Leslie approached Conrad and saw him crying. He finally broke down in front of Leslie..what will happen to his little brother, and his sick mother. Conrad has been in denial about the fact that his father is an ambitious man and followed him with dedication, and now he felt betrayed and unsure about the future of his family.
    - Leslie is crying too.. but she smiled and told Conrad that she will helped him and repay his kindness.

    - It seems that Conrad fell asleep after crying too much in the duchess's office lol. When he woke up, Luenti already there waitng him to get up.
    - Conrad's face and hair is a big mess, and he avoided Lueti's eyes because of embarassment.
    - He asked Luenti who moved him from the office. Conrad thought that it was Leslie who moved him into a bedroom using darkness.
    - Before Luenti answered his question, Bethrion entered the room and greet Conrad, he reminded him to hid the fact that he visited the Selvatores and went to Lentius' house. beth leaving the room like it's a normal situation
    - Luenti told Conrad that Leslie now having breakfast with Cyrene. Conrad became pale. After showing the bathroom location to Conrad, Luenti left the room..
    - while leaving he answered Conrad's question with a smile in his voice : The one who moved him was...Cyrene XD

    Duchess Salvatore met the emperor in secret and explained everything. Seeing that her old comrade was broken when he heard about the betrayal of Duke Aitera, Assela didn't want to tell the Emperor about her investigation concerning Arendo.
    The emperor was confused. What should he do about this situation. He can't forget about Medea's plan, too. Assela tried to persuade him to halt the Arabella ritual, but it is impossible because if this grand-scale event suddenly canceled, the other countries would think that there is something wrong with empire.

    The emperor made his move, he appointed Constein officially as his heir. and will announce the news on the day of blessing. The young prince tried to protest, claiming that Arendo is more suited to the trone and will expand their territory. Duchess Salvatore also attended the meeting and she assured the emperor that she will do her best to support Constein in the future. Duchess Salvatore then broke the news about Arendo to the Emperor and his wife.

    note : yes, actually the duchess' relationship with the king and his wife is pretty good. Asella also befriend Duchess Aitera (described as a friendly and warm person) and sending medicinal herbs via Luenti

    Leslie walked in the garden and met with Conrad (who stayed in the estate waiting for lentius to pick him up). Leslie noticed that Conrad didn't blush of froze when holding her hand, and happily tell him now he can dance with women in the parties. Conrad just laughed, then he asked Leslie to dance with him in the festival. Leslie nodded happily but somehow her face became red and redder. She left Conrad alone to get a cold drink as an excuse.

    Luenti, Conrad, and Lentius met and discuss about Etai. it's worth to be investigated further so they will proceed from the current information. For the time being, they will resume their usual activity so Medea's spy won't be suspicious.

    Several days later, Leslie met Constein in the temple. She just finished her ritual training and accidentally hit the 2nd prince who sneaked in the bushes to look for Conrad. Leslie escorted the prince to the prayer room because usually, Conrad stayed there when he is off duty. They talked and Constein told leslie that actually, he wanted to become a priest so Arendo can take the throne. Constein waited in the prayer room when Conrad escorting Leslie out of the temple.
    Conrad told Leslie that he will pick her up in the day of festival.....

    - Conrad, standing bravely in the main hall of the Salvatore estate, got barricaded by all of salvatore's servant who looked and scrutinizing him.
    - Luenti stared at him with menacing magic aura. he complained that he should appoint another person to protect Leslie if he knew that Conrad will steal his sister. Conrad replied that it's impossible, because both of them know that Conrad is the best candidate in term of skill and divine power.
    - Conrad passed Luenti's test but then Bethrion appeared and squeezing his shoulders with almost a bone-breaking strengh. Conrad holding himself and keep smiling. He answered Beth's question without a flinch.
    - Leslie appeared and both brothers starting to check on her things (purse, magic stones) and make sure she remember all of the self defense tips and trick. Duchess Salvatore came to the hall in the middle of their chat.
    - Leslie hugged her mother and brother and laughing in front of a stunned Conrad. Leslie kissed Assela's cheek and the duchess spoke with a neutral tone to Conrad (but for him, she is the scariest among all lol). they are ready to go, and a very loud sound echoing from the inner rooms. Cyrene is around lol.
    - Leslie grabbed Conrad's arms and dragged him to the gate, but Conrad said he hadn't met sir Cyrene. yet. Leslie screamed, "you'll die if you meet him" and run as fast as possible dragging Conrad to the carriage. They heard a scream of an overprotective father.... and Conrad realized that he had been saved by Leslie.
    - Both of them arrived at the festival... holding hands.

    Not sure when.. but he already interested in her since their 2nd meeting (in the Salvator's estate).
    their relationship develops at a snail pace (but steady), because Conrad literally got friend-zoned by Leslie right after she re-introduce herself to Conrad as leslie shuya salvatore lol

    not sure, too. but the 16 y/o Leslie sometimes blushed around Conrad..
    All iIknow from the gist of the novel, inside Leslie's head is about her mother and family, Celis and Conrad as her friend, Sweets and desserts, how to destroy the Sperados, study, study.
    She acknowledged Conrad as : tutor, friend, and knight.
    For someone who said that she wanted to get married, Leslie paid 0 attention to romance.

    the festival chapters cracked me up. God.

    Conrad bought sweets for Leslie and they walked around holding hands like a normal couple. Leslie almost got recognized by people although she already hid her silver hair. Conrad suggest using a nickname to call each other. Leslie choose to use her middle name, so Conrad called her "shuya". they continue walking, while Conrad thought that the plan is going smooth so far.

    Before the festival, Conrad met with Prince Constein and the prince wondered why the first son of a duke+youngest paladin of tessenroa knight is still single and no news about his engagement. Constein became exasperated when he knew that Conrad is hopelessly in love with Leslie for years but not making any move to advance their relationship. He blamed Conrad's reserved personality, and commented that Fritz (Conrad;s lil bro) is much better in this area. Constein barely refrains to shout if Conrad really wanted to spend FOREVER as her friend lol.

    Conrad tried to argue that he doesn't want to force his relationship with Leslie because she had many wounds, but Constein reminded him that now leslie is 16 and the proposal will keep flowing. looking from nobility status, only Conrad, Constein,and Arendo had higher status than Leslie. Considering what Arendo did to Leslie to the party, Constein prefered to help Conrad to get the girl lol. Conrad is afraid to confess, and wanted to start from something small. The prince gave a suggestion to start from going out in the festival, holding hand, and calling nicknames.

    - Conrad and Constein's plan ruined by Leslie. Conrad already memorized all of Leslie's favorite places and ready to take her there...
    - The reality, Conrad was the one dragged by Leslie to many restaurants (NOT A DESSERT SHOP!), weapon shop, blacksmith, then.. a fortune teller. The visit to the fortune teller is a big mess, because Leslie became too excited and asked about herself. The result was not pretty (it's about leslie hanging with the dead). Leslie cried and took conrad to another place.
    - Leslie's heart was in turmoil after she heard the fortune teller. She hid the fact that she already prepared in advance with her maids and knight of Salvatores about her "not a date" with Conrad. She wanted to make him feel better and tried something new after all of the crap he'd been through.
    - She booked the restaurants and paid more to the merchant to buy the most popular food without queued up too long, and now she ruined the day because a mere fortune teller. Conrad tried to comfort her, and she use her last weapon.
    - Leslie gave a small pouch to Conrad, there is little trinket inside it. It is special because Leslie embroidered it herself using a pattern learned from her mother's friend. he told Conrad that now he needs it, hoping that it can become a source of comfort.

    note : Embroidery and painting is leslie's weakest subject.

    - Conrad froze when he heard leslie's words.. as a member of royal family, knight of the temple, and a duke's son, that concept is unfamiliar to him. he was trained to protect and comforting people, but didn't really think that he needs something like that, too
    - he wondered how can a little girl who need to be protected could say that to him. leslie was surprised when she saw tears in Conrad's eyes.
    - Conrad thank Leslie, and he told her that he wanted to have a formal relationship with Leslie.
    - In the mansion, Leslie checked the dictionary to look for the term "engagement".. She wanted to ask Assela, but she is away right now and the only one in the house was Cyrene. Leslie shuddered when she imagine her father bringing his ax and went to hunt Conrad.



    Leslie innocently called him a good friend. and keep saying that Conrad is her only friend for about 4 years until she meet Celis (who became her 1st female friend).


    will update this post later..

    I read the webcomics, too XD (I also from Indonesia btw). They are 5 weeks gap between Kakaopagewebtoon raw and webcomic adaptation, it's not that bad~

    I'm adding more fuel to the fire then :
    - Much later, Leslie's power went out of control and Conrad spent the night in Leslie's room using his divine power to calm the darkness. together with Cyrene in one room. Just imagine the atmosphere lol...
    - The next morning, Cyrene broke the door and destroyed a chair when he heard Conrad talking with leslie. Conrad just simply told the angry but adorable bear that he liked leslie with a very bright smile. leslie quickly defused the situation before Cyrene blew her bedroom.

    Ugh you are the MVP. It takes a while for updates where I live and the updates are spaced out pretty far (in my impatient opinion XD) Keep the spoilers coming please!

    - Medea only had 2 true followers: Ephiel and the high priestess.
    - Medea saved Ephiel from slavery and now she become her loyal maid,
    - The high priestess came from a dying clan (also called as "the clan forsaken by the Gods), the one born with strong Divine power AND Magic (luenti & conrad's skill combined!). Usually, babies with such power were dying and can't live for more than 5 years. She survived and entered the temple while concealing her magic power. Medea found her true ability and now they became friends. The high priestess can't enlisted herself as magician to the tower because she already become a priestess, while the temple disliked magician. She is the culprit of the landslide incident.
    - Arendo is Medea's son, the first royal born from the Emperor was actually a princess. The empress was greatly saddened by the fact that her baby was switched and she never see her deceased daughter.
    - Medea's plot to take the throne/destroy the empire is actually from 20 years ago, and the duchess Salvatore tried her best to prevent it.
    - Assela and Bethrion actually a former Arabella. Luenti was nominated but he became a magician before the ceremony began in his generation. Now Leslie continues the legacy. Conrad never participate because he belongs the tessenroa knight, whose job is to help and escort the candidates/

    - Cyrene leads this meeting, there are glasses of hot cocoa completed with the snowman biscuit in front of everyone.
    - He said that Leslie's behavior became strange after going out with Conrad, and the family visit to the festival ruined because the all of merchants were intimidated with salvatore family loool
    - they discussed the next agenda, to held a family vacation after the festival.

    - Epialtes was sealed in the innermost chamber in the temple. It's a plague and spreads the incurable disease (for now).
    - The rituals divided into several days (somehow I feel like watching midsommar again x_x), and they wore different dresses. Leslie feel a bit sick when one of her dress is similar to the dress she wore in the prologue (the white gown), fortunately Conrad left another pouch of candy and biscuits plus a reassuring message.
    - Eli was separated from other candidate and behaving strangely.
    - There are children hidden in a mansion (the one leslie saw in the road), The high priestess and Ephiel forced them to drink a misterious medicine regularly and separated them from the the other participants. They said that the children had a special role to help Arabella.
    - Te Pentel (Assela's friend) return to the capital with a special herb together with Celis' father. The Duchess asked her to prepare the medicine immediately. Just in case Leslie failed to seal Epialtes.
    - The ritual went smoothly, and now it's the time for Leslie to enter the innermost chamber

    - Leslie entered the inner sanctum together with the supreme priest (something like a pope?), 2 knight of tessenroa, and 2 priest. There are another priest stationed outside.
    - Her task to seal epialtes is to spread the sealing stones between flowers inside the inner sanctum, and leslie saw a little box. That is Epialtes. After admiring the silver flowers, leslie began to do her task...and shit happen
    - the knight attacked the Supreme priest. They introduced theirself as Etai member. Leslie pleaded the knight to let the other priest to heal the wound, but she got kidnapped instead. to defend herself, Leslie used the darkness.
    - Leslie didn't kill the knights, but the real horror happened when the 2 priest refused to heal the Supreme priest and suddenly run to the inner sanctum holding a basket. Leslie followed inside and found out that the priests were actually the children she saw in the road (They were forced to drink a magic potion like the polyjuice from harry potter...). The children apologized to leslie, and the basket fell. There are little bottles with blood inside.. the silver flowers became bright red.
    - Leslie then saw that the first clasp of the box (there are 3), already opened. The door is locked as a self defense mechanism, so she can't go out. She started to panic and began hallucinating about a black fire. Suddenly, many little hands appeared and helping Leslie to broke the door. Those 2 children are nowhere to be seen.
    - The royal family and the other attendants become worried, The main ritual somehow took longer time than usual. Medea is happy and now Duchess Salvatore made her way to see what happened to her daughter.
    - Despite the protest from the temple, Duchess Salvatore tried to broke the door with her enchanted sword. Something red glowing from inner sanctum so the Duchess realizes that she can't wait longer to save her daughter.
    - She found a wounded & weakened Leslie plus 4 corpses (the priest stationed outside, the etai members). fortunately, the supreme priest survived the ordeal. The children still missing.
    - Leslie told the Duchess that the damn box is missing, they need to conceal the truth from the public. Both leslie and the priest announce that there was a raid and both of them injured, but they managed to complete the ritual.
    - Leslie passed out right in the waiting room, Luenti saw that the darkness under leslie's feet began to leak. he barricaded the room and dragged Conrad to do his job

    - All of the noble family (minus Sperado) hold an urgent meeting. Duchess salvatore remained behind to discuss the next step with the emperor. Fortunately, Jenna came with a refreshing (but a bad) report that they managed to track Epialtes.
    - Leslie met with the children of darkness inside her dream, they told leslie that she did a good job, and wanted her to be happy. Leslie was baffled, because she thought that the children want her to take revenge. There is another message from them : although they may hurt leslie, they will remain on her side.
    - Leslie woke up and Conrad told her everything happened after the ritual. their sweet moments shattered when Cyrene broke the door lol

    update :

    -Leslie chased Marquiss Sperado to get her revenge in a dumpster, together with The Knight of Salvatores led by Bethrion, and Knight of Tessenroa led by Lentius. Both knights fought Etai members.
    - Conrad led the Knight of Linche and arrests his own father for treason. (He asked Bethrion to let him do this)
    - Medea tried to escape, but the Monster Duchess already waiting for her....
    - The high priestess tried to attack the duchess with a fireball, but her target only commented that although nowadays she only uses her swords, she could use magic, too. The priestess next attack blocked by Luenti.
    - Medea already on the run and the duchess chased her, and Luenti fight the high priestess in a magic battle.
    - Luenti still angry about what happened to Leslie 4 years ago. The priestess commented that salvatore family is crazy for protecting the little girl, but Luenti told her that the priestess will do the same if she see Leslie's face when she put the cookie in her cocoa (hah!???)
    - As her last resort, The priestess injured Luenti and tried to do the old trick : destroying the balance of Luenti's magic power using her combination of magic + divine power. It's a big gamble, but she thought that she is already dying anyway.
    - but the one who feel pain is not Luenti. The priestess suddenly feel another divine power. Conrad seized her from behind and pushing his divine power into her.
    - Considering that the priestess is also a magician, Conrad can do the same trick...

    My goodness.. Marquis Sperado's survival instict is stronger than a beaten cockroach..... And Conrad is really busy, he appeared literally everywhere doing everything from destroying his own family, hurting a woman with his divine power, and transporter for an artifact of doom, plus giving Cyrene an idea to burn the rabbit hole (a.k.a Sperado Mansion) .

    - Sperado stole Epialtes from Eli, thinking it as punishment for his wife and daughter who had abandoned him and saving their own ass lol. His wife and Eli found him and started to beg him to return the box, then Leslie arrived.
    - Leslie chased the marquiss and watched Eli fell down because the plague, and her infected biological mother killed by Etai
    - Sperado run to the slum area, and managed to bind the black chain to Leslie, then he throwed an explosive (a red magic stone) to her daughter.
    - Leslie lost her consciousness, and wandered aimlessly through the dark. This Leslie had her 12y/o abused mind, a dark rabbit appeared and slowly guides her to remove her wounds and met the sacrified children in an open area.
    -The children asked leslie about cotton candy, cocoa, and how it feels to be loved by by family. Leslie slowly recovers her sense, and started to answer the questions one by one while crying.
    - The leader of the children told Leslie that they want Leslie to be happy and let go of her revenge. the children are happy with Leslie's stories and to see that she received loves from her new family.
    - Finally, the black bunny told Leslie that the children should go and it will act as their guide to the light. Leslie tearfully agree. The children needs the bunny more than her.
    - the children left, except one boy who stayed by her side. He told her that he will remain until they accomplished what they need to do.
    -Back to the reality, Leslie saw the black bunny plushie from bethrion defended her from the explosion. Sperado attacked a defenseless Leslie in fury, but his arm got stabbed by a dagger with Salvatore Emblem.
    - a familiar voice tells Leslie to withdraw. Cyrene entered the room with his ax in his hand.

    Does this mean Leslie's abilities have weakened?

    I feel like reading a shonen manga lol. Everyone is fighting.

    - Duchess vs High Priestess
    - Luenti + Conrad vs High Priestess
    - Duchess verbal fight against Medea
    - Leslie vs Sperado
    - Cyrene vs Sperado
    - Bethrion + Leslie vs 2 Etai elite members
    - Linche + Salvatore knights vs Etai
    - Tessenroa knights (Lentius) and the priests dealing with the epidemic, and the magician tower finally supports them wkwkwk
    - All of Salvatore's servants + Te Pentel vs Etai (they raided the mansion to kidnap the childrean and took the medicine for the plague)

    Yes and no. Leslie can use her power of darkness, but she feels that there is something missing. Without the children, it's up to Leslie's natural skill to develop the power.

    I'm going to update the details later
