Tearing Sanctuary

Chapter 84: Will You Save Me?

The strawman was burned asunder after my fire spell hit it, sending small gusts of wind upon impact sending dusts in the air. This spell can blast off a normal human being a few meters away as they burn.

This was all I could manage, any more and I would begin to feel uncomfortable. No matter, I will have Vernon by my side when it comes, he will be my guard. Just like what happened with Mera. If Mera had tried to kill me in the bathroom, I would instantly call upon Vernon and let him han...

Chapter 83: Admiration

Mera can be blinded by admiration.

At first that was merely an initial theoretical observation, nothing final, however, now I have arrived at that solid conclusion. I have lowered the possibility of Mera being an infiltrator to around 20%.

There were not many signs that supported the possibility of her being an infiltrator. In addition, her emotions towards me also supported the possibility that she was clean. However, I could not be satisfied by such a thing, especially ...

Chapter 82: Newfound Devotion

Vernon watched as Mera ran away from the chamber brimming with tears. Seeing how that young child looked, he began to pity her. This was just a mere test, but to think that Mera would break down this much from this — he could see the great impact it had on her clearly.

He didn’t expect she would end up being that way. Vernon realized he should have understood Mera more before agreeing with this. Even so, perhaps this was for the best. From the way Vernon saw it, Mera was assured to ...

Chapter 81: Tears of the Maid

Next afternoon the next day, the princess’s forehead was beaded with sweat as she pushed herself far this time. A shocking result occurred, the princess had set the entire body of a strawman ablaze with a single firebolt, turning it into ash in a short time. However, what lacked was impact, but setting it afire whole was impressive enough.

Being exhausted as she was, Mera guessed that it was not only because of the depletion of mana. Though she doubted that the princess depleted her m...

Chapter 80: A Leisurely Tea Time

Come morning after the princess took a bath, she returned to her room after breakfast. For untold reason, the princess decided not to practice magic. She sat on a chair by the corner of the room and laid her hands on the small table.

Mera watched her lady resting but still seemingly uneasy. The lady tapped her fingers on the wooden table a few times. Mera had only finished organizing the room, neatly fixed the bed, and folded the hanging curtain, that was why she was still inside the ro...

Chapter 79: Her Fellow Maids

It was evening and Mera had retired to her quarters. She bounced up and down after she plopped down on the soft and smooth bed, her face burying into the pillows. A loud sigh came forth from her lips before turning around facing the ceiling.

Somehow, it was more tiring than before. No, actually, it had been more tiring for a couple of days, and a bit more stressful. There were a lot of things on her mind.

She had been terribly careful not to stand out, but why? Why were the prince...

Chapter 78: Uneasy Mera

Mera was with the princess learning a new spell called Fire Bolt. As for the Palm Shield spell, Mera had already learned how to cast it with no fail. That said, the strength of it left plenty to be desired.

Further training of her mystic medium will be required to make it stronger to at least block half of Vernon’s true strength. Mera was often baffled that Vernon, despite being a commoner at birth, was powerful enough that he could match the strength of an elite knight.

Perhaps...

Chapter 77: Ears

Oryn placed the newly sorted stacks of papers on the prince’s desk. At the moment, he was by his lonesome since the prince left to have a meeting with the knights. Information that cannot be overlooked popped up.

No, Oryn thought it was just not information that newly came out. But rather, it was a leak. He tried asking, but the prince didn’t say anything significant about it. Such a shame, he wanted to know more.

His gaze turned towards the papers and picked up a sheet. New i...

Chapter 76: Distant

It was morning and I stretched my legs as the light of the early sun came through the window. My return to my room last night was flawless, if I had been discovered, it would have dropped a bolt on my plans. Not a wrench since I would just be seen as a teenage girl sneaking out at night.

Okay… I could have undermined it considering how my parents treat me. But it shouldn’t impede much in my intentions, so it remains a mere bolt. But I suppose a mere bolt can destroy the entire machi...

Chapter 75: Initiating the Plan (Part 2)

After dinner, I returned to my room to sleep after some goodnights to my servants. I closed the door, and instead of lying down, I merely sat at the edge of the bed.

I planned not to sleep yet. I crossed my legs as I waited for time to pass.

Now, what could my goal tonight be? Well, I intend to speak with Vernon, alone. I couldn’t talk about this with him when Mera was around. It was time to set a little plan in motion. Just a little plan, that’s all.

He mentioned he was...

Chapter 74: Initiating the Plan (Part 1)

I was now back to my training. Before that, I told my father of my decision to invite Allie as my personal chef and that she accepted. As sudden as it was, he was shocked to hear I made a decision such as that.

Still, in the end, he agreed to it, as I expected. There was no significant reason as to why he wouldn’t. Potential betrayer? Likely it crossed my father's mind and considered all potential risks. However, that girl didn’t really bear the impression of a traitor. In addition,...

Finally Back!

I'm back! Wooooo! I'm free from school! Temporarily.... School term had ended!

Wew. It was a tough month, holy sh*t. School be dumping more than 10 hard assignments only for a week. I almost not survived.

I think now I can give attention to my stories.

But, I may be resting for a few times. I'll also be writing of course, just gonna take it easy for a while.

But thank you everyone for your patience!

Oh yeah, new chapter has been posted, just in case you missed it...

Chapter 73: Personal Chef (Part 2)

I turned with a smile towards the newly arrived two. Cerous was in shock, but not to the level like last time, he must already be getting used to my frequent visit. Allie on the other hand was more composed than him.

They walked closer to me before bowing followed by a greeting. Allie raised her head first.

“Your highness, I expected you to come today.”

“Oh, I guess I am that predictable now.”

I said with an embarrassed smile.

“I got to taste the chicke...

Author's Update

It is currently our finals in school. So expect delays in update. Finals is just very hard hehehe.... thank you for your understanding. Also, school's ending at the end of the month, after that I will get more free time for writing :)

Also, chapters may get longer now that we are closing to the end of Volume 1. Yes, we are almost at the end of the "Pure Princess" Arc.

Chapter 72: Personal Chef (Part 1)

I have returned to my magic training. I was improving at a decent pace, just so you know. Now that I am familiar with the barrier spell, training to make it better and stronger was going smoothly. On the other hand, Mera was training with me and she was doing pretty well too.

That aside, I did a bit of reading of the beginner’s book of magic. I searched precisely about curing poisons. And I did find it.

There were indeed spells for it. Like healing spells, they also enhance the ...

Chapter 71: Forgotten First Dish

It was breakfast when I saw a pretty interesting dish served and placed on the table. I raised both my eyebrows, it was a familiar dish. To be precise, it looked like the one I ate yesterday.

Interesting, so she deemed it on the level acceptable for royalties. Was there any improvement I wonder?

“Dear daughter.”

I raised my gaze towards my father who for some reason called out to me as I was about to get some to eat.

“Father?”

“I heard you visited the k...

Chapter 70: Me? Average? Nonsense

Allie Jelimis froze at the door when she saw a beautiful girl with white hair, red eyes and snow white skin. Yes, me!

Her eyes were wide in surprise, never in her life expecting that I would be here today. When she regained her calm mind, she stood straight and bowed deeply.

“Your royal highness.”

Oh, as I was still covering my eyes with my hands due to the gruesome sight, I slowly lowered it with a wry smile.

“Ah- Eh, h-hello.”

I stuttered as my cheeks f...

Chapter 69: Hard for the Pure Princess

We had immediately left the scene, everything should be safe and sound now. Whether those two get very affectionate and intimate there, not for me to bother thinking about. Mera though seemed to be still quite bothered by it.

Her eyes seemed to bulge out as she was in deep thought.

Hey Mera, your head okay?

Her imaginations must be going wild there, I could see some faint flush on her cheeks. Ah, a maiden’s innocence.

What about me? I’m not bothered at all...

Chapter 68: Sneaky Peeking

It was somewhat tiring, the training I mean. I have lost count how many times I tried and tried. Vernon was ruthless, he was the type of guy that would indifferently destroy your wildest dream in front of your eyes. Seriously, when I finally get to create a barrier, he would shatter it before my eyes.

It’s like killing your loved one in front of you, you know. Or your child being abused in front of you. Though I don’t know how that exactly feels, and I have no intention of knowing, ...

Chapter 67: Palm Shield

I looked at the opened book and scanned the first spell. It was the “Palm Shield”, it was mentioned to be the easiest and least demanding, that was why beginners mostly learned this first. In addition, defending yourself was important.

But of course, a beginner’s Palm Shield spell would be weaker than those who were already experienced. One would need to provide the spell a decent amount of mana to enhance it, in addition, stabilization would also be needed. Meaning, you have to k...

Chapter 66: An Angelic Voice

There was a beautiful maiden awoken from her beautiful slumber. Her platinum white hair falling straight down was more beautiful than any jewel glimmering amidst the gentle illumination from the morning light, her crimson eyes so captivating were as gorgeous as the full moon shining in the night, and her beauty was unmatched by any other, nor by the view of the sunset by the shores, nor by the ever flowing river in spring. A peerless existence.

Who could this beautiful girl be?

Th...

Chapter 65: Song in the Night

There was nothing else to do. I did go around the palace grounds, but nothing happened yet. And oh, I didn’t talk for long with that knight named Rogan. Also, it seems that most of the knights were not present on their training grounds. Only having very few of them.

Also, the young man, what was his name again? Oh sorry, maybe he was just too insignificant for me to remember.

I’m joking. I’m not the kind to just forget about someone’s name. His name was Alan, right? Not re...

Chapter 64: Doing Small Steps

Don’t you just love it sometimes that you just do nothing but sit amidst the fresh gentle wind. Nothing to bother you at all. Incredible! Just watching everything around you, gazing up at the blue sky and white clouds.

Really, I’m starting to like this, so peaceful. Was this what introverts felt? The ones that mostly just stay in their rooms. The peace and quiet!

Daaaamn.

Yup, now I’m feeling rolling on the bed for now.

Actually, I have been sitting on this bench...

Chapter 63: Contrasting Life

“Your highness, I am glad to see you all and well.”

When I left the room, I was greeted by Vernon. The old man bowed deeply with a smile.

“I will be returning as your guard and servant.”

“Vernon… I apologize for what happened that day.”

“What could you be apologizing for?” he appeared to be puzzled.

“... For the troubles.”

“If you refer to that time in the library, please think nothing of it. On the contrary, I see it as my failure. ...

Chapter 62: Oh Really?

My family greeted me in the dining room. The first moment I arrived though, I felt an, well you could say a not so joyful atmosphere for a moment, even though I have just been restored. There were troubled expressions from their faces only to then turn into smiles when they saw me.

I pretended I didn’t notice then headed to my usual spot with a bright smile on my face. I wanted to eat some delicious dishes! And father said he would have the chefs cook the best cuisines!

Can’t ...

Chapter 61: Simple Talk with Mera

The physician had left the room and it was now only me and my family. I slowly got out of the bed. Estevan held out his hand as though preparing to catch me in case I collapsed or something.

I gave him a sweet smile.

“I can stand just fine, brother.”

“Hm. Great!”

I sort of wanted to resume my training. Time is essential after all. That said, I imagine my family would have me rest for a while.

“Estelia, you should rest for the time being. Do not exert yo...

Chapter 60: This Sucks

The door of my room slammed open, I acted surprised, frantically turning to look at the door. There I saw my brother with wide eyes as he smiled widely.

“My sister!”

He walked towards me with impatient steps then snatched my hand. While I was still half up on the bed, I stared at him as he grasped my hand with both hands while leaning towards me.

“How are you? You’re fine, right? Thank goodness!”

“B-Brother… I’m sorry if I worried you so much.”

...

Chapter 59: Estelia

I wrapped my arms around my mother’s neck as she carried me. The wonderful fragrance of flowers reached my nose. I smiled, pretty delighted. The warmth and softness of my mother, I felt it very clearly.

“Let’s take a look of the newly planted flowers.”

“Really? Newly planted? I want to see!”

“Hehehe, be calm, my daughter.”

I snuggled more into her embrace as she brought me further within the garden. Several colors of flower petals passed us by. Then wis...

Chapter 58: Subject 218

I saw white walls. I saw children under six years old lining up beside me on both sides. This was familiar, everything here was supposedly one vague memory, but I see it very clearly.

An adult wearing white clothings that resembled a lab coat walked in front of us with a woman beside him. Both their eyes lacked any warmth as they looked at us one by one. I gazed up at them with curiosity, but their eyes merely went past me indifferently.

Then, the scene before me changed. A man wi...
