Ch.20 Age 16: Steam Power and Glass Manufacturing

Thea and my family organized a small birthday celebration for me to commemorate my adulthood. Everyone showed up. Everyone.

Ch17. Politics

The construction of our castle progressed smoothly until the entire 100-foot-high perimeter was covered in reinforced concrete.

Explosive cheers met my words as people rushed into the city for food. I gave a toast to our success, and they cheered as they downed their drinks, which was becoming an increasingly frequent occurrence.

While I was sitting at a table, eating imported B-rank meat fro...

Thea

A petite young woman with teal hair and matching eyes stared at the notepad before her. It was a gift from someone important to her, and she felt that writing on it might forever damage the gift's perfection.
