Charlotte couldnât say anything but nodded.
âWell, I donât know if this is possible because the Duke is busy, but I will ask him for this favor.â
âYeah, so letâs start todayâs class? Were you training meanwhile?â
âI did, but I still donât know.â
Charlotte put her hand on the transparent crystal ball and closed her eyes. He told her to try to feel the energy flowing from the ball, but she couldnât, no matter how much she tried.
From time to time she would feel something tickle her stomach, but it was only for a short time. Every time you try to focus on this feeling, it quickly disappears.
âAhh.â
Charlotte closed her eyes tightly and put her hand aimlessly. Then she felt someone put his hand on her stomach.
She wondered if Ahin could take such a bold touch, and she opened her eyes.
But Ahin was still sitting in front of her, watching her focus.
Charlotte lowered her head slowly, Theo was placing his gentle hand on Charlotteâs stomach and smiling innocently.
âNona, here!â
Theo was gently rubbing Charlotteâs stomach, she thought he was just making a joke because of her focus.
But soon a faint light appeared, and she felt as if something was wriggling inside her stomach.
A mysterious feeling, which seemed to be warm and cold, slowly began to spread throughout the body.
âOh.â
Ahin who was watching let out an impressive voice.
âHere! Here !â
Theo pointed with his other hand to the ball that Charlotte was touching at the same time the ball began to glow.
It was faint compared to the time Theo first touched it as it was glowing intensely.
Theo smiled.
âItâs done!â
The light on the crystal ball faded as the child raised his hand in the sky because he was excited.
The energy that was flowing through Charlotteâs body also turned back as if it had come and disappeared once more inside the ball.
At that moment Charlotte felt dizzy and nauseous, as if she was suffering from severe seasickness.
âUgh.â
When she quickly covered her mouth to vomited, Theo rolled around and fidgeted.
âAre you well ?â
âAh, itâs okayâ¦. Ugh.â
âYou feel dizzy due to the forceful influx of mana, it is a common symptom.â
Ahin carried a handkerchief and Charlotte did not hesitate and wiped her mouth with the tissue.
Charlotte picked up the Theo, who thought he did something wrong,puting up with the nausea and put it on her lap.
âWhat was that now?â
âThe young master helped the young lady feel the mana. It is one of the last solutions for people who do not feel mana.â
âOf course I canât touch the miss, so I had no intention of using such a method, but I think he instinctively helped the miss.â
âReally Theo?â
âAh, ⦠did it hurt?â
âI wasnât hurt.â
Charlotte pressed her lips gently to his soft cheeks. Theo, who made clear that she was not angry, relaxed and laughed.
âCan you feel the mana now? Even if itâs not good with Young Masterâs help, there can be some progress.â
Charlotte closed her eyes and focused again. Of course, she could sense that something was boiling inside her stomach.
She wasnât able to transmit energy to her entire body yet as Theo helped her, but the feeling that lingered in her stomach didnât go away yet.
âYeah, I feel a little better than before.â
âYou just have to focus on that feeling. Anyway, Young Master is definitely amazing. At this level, I think a master can slowly learn to control mana.â
âReally ?â
âYes, thinking about it, the master will be this old soon. If thatâs enough, I think Iâll be able to teach him how to control his mana soon.â
âHe will be four years oldâ¦.â
Charlotte thought of Theoâs birthday but did not think of a specific date. It must have been fall or winter, for she had never heard of a specific date for his birthday.
âWhen is Theoâs birthday?â
âItâs December 15th. Heâs probably going to spend his birthday this year at Heinstâs territory .â
âWhat? On Theoâs birthday, Sister has to throw a birthday party for Theo. What do you think, Theo? Iâll bake you a big cake too.â
Theo, who was repeatedly playing by turning the light on and off by tapping his index finger on the crystal ball, turned his head back.
âYes !â
Charlotte pressed his cheek, not hard enough to hurt, as she thought about what she would do for her childâs birthday.
âI have to buy a lot of toys to give him a lot of delicious things.â
This will be the first and last time I spend Theoâs birthday with him.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
I donât know if he could remember this day when he was so young, but I wanted to create a memory for him so that he would remember me and say âI had a sister like that.â
Charlotte, who was planning a birthday party in her head, suddenly came back to reality and picked up the book from the desk.
âWhat on earth does this mean?â
He must have known that Charlotte could not read the ancient language, but Carcel had the courage to bring out this book.
He couldnât refuse her request to enter the library , but was this a ploy to prevent me from reading information on Rositos? Was this his message to give up?
âSomehow, he let me in so easily.â
However, it was unknown what he was thinking at the moment.
Should I ask Carcel to explain it as Ahin said, or should I just give up?
After Charlotte thought about it, she decided to meet Carcel and talk to him.
***
That night, Charlotte put Theo on the bed and went to her room to wait for Carcel to come.
Chasing after the assassins who had targeted Theo, Carcelâs return was later than usual.
Despite Emmaâs request to sleep on the bed, Charlotte fell asleep on the sofa with the book and woke up when she heard that Carcel had come.
As soon as she came out she saw Carcel trying to get into his bedroom.
He sensed her presence and turned around while lifting his hand from the doorknob.
âHave you not slept for this hour?â
âYes .â
âIt is late.â
So he was about to tell her to go back to her room quickly. But instead of going back to the room, Charlotte hurriedly approached him.
âIâve been waiting for the Duke.â
startled He took a step back while looking at Charlotte who was about two steps away from him. Charlotte, who went back, carried the book with an embarrassed face.
âI mean, this book that the Duke gave me, it is in an ancient language.â
âYes, this is correct .â
His voice, which was answering hesitantly, seemed to ask what the problem was.
Does this mean it wasnât intentional?
Charlotte stammered, trying to understand clearly what was on his mind.
âSo, you know, I canât read the ancient language.â
âYes I know .â
Oh, as expected. I have no choice but to ask directly. Charlotte decided to openly ask this man.
âAre you reluctant to reveal the information inside this book?â
Only then was Carcelâs response different and a bit sulky.
âWhat do you mean ?â
âI canât read the old language. But you gave me this book and said it would help. So I thought you didnât want me to learn about Theo or about the curseâ¦.â
Carcel, who usually responded immediately, fell silent for a while and looked into Charlotteâs eyes as he tried to understand what was in her head.
Charlotte also looked into his eyes to read what he was thinking. But she couldnât read anything because his expression was rigid, expressionless.
Carcel broke the silence first.
âDidnât you ask Ahin?â
âNo, I did. Mr. Ahin also told me that this was an ancient language. But since it was a book from the dukeâs personal library, he said he couldnât read it recklessly and told me to ask you.â
âIt doesnât matter if Ahin seeâ¦.â
Carcel, who was about to say something, closed his mouth for a moment before asking something else.
âWould it be okay now ?â
âyes Iâm fine .â
âArenât you tired?â
Charlotte shook her head exaggeratedly.
âIâm not tired!â
âThen letâs go in.â
He loosened his tie a little and headed for the office.
As Robert had done last time, he put the key in, turned and opened the library door.
âCome in.â
Charlotte saw that Carcel was asking her to come in, and she entered.
They both sat at a table in front of the entrance to the library. Charlotte prevented Carcel from calling Robert.
âI drank a lot of tea, Iâm fine.â
âOkay.â
He put on the bell and opened the book that Charlotte had given him. He looked at the table of contents on the first page of the book and opened the middle section and showed it to Charlotte.
âMaybe thatâs what the miss needs.â
Charlotte bent her body near the table, looking at where he was putting his finger. What stood out the most was the pattern at the bottom of the page.

âAh, these are the letters that were on Theoâs body.â
âYes. Rositoâs symbol. You can tell right away that heâs a Rosito because itâs been engraved on his body from birth.â
Charlotteâs gaze inadvertently turned to Carcelâs left collarbone as she listened to his slow explanation.
