    As always.
    I read only by MTL and English isn't my first language.

    The debutante invitation came from Duke Roslin. As the duchess is always in bad health, the duke is the one who will host the debutante. In the original story, Duke Roslin was the first person to establish an alchemist workshop after the temple failed to heal the duchess’ chronic illness. Kynemia thought this could be a chance to join hands with him to expand the alchemist workshop, or this is his way and the temple to mock her. The workers always try their best so Kynemia only grows watching nice things. Kynemia knew it but she pretends never to know about it. She prepared for the battle without knowing her nanny’s worry feelings.

    Baron Romeo is in charge of Kynemia’s quick debutante lecture. He sorted off the invited list then told Kynemia to choose one from three in the list for her first dance partner in the debutante. He thought this would be easier if Eian was with them because the partner is usually someone the lady knew for a long time from childhood.

    Kynemia doesn’t know what Eian has been doing for 5 years since he returned to the magic tower. She thought he forgot her as he never even sent a letter to her for 5 years.

    Kynemia asks Baron Romeo what is the case if she won’t dance with anyone. He replies that it will be better as she can show him the one she will choose in the future. There are a lot of ways for family succession such as adoption or through her uncle (a Count at the moment) if she doesn’t have any thought about marriage.

    Kynemia goes to the debutante with her godfather as a partner. The nobles are curious about her as she rarely shows herself. There is a rumor she hides herself in her territory to catch babies and use their blood for a bath. When she steps into the hall, they are mesmerized by her beauty and recognize the visual resemblance with her father. As she watches them with her dignity (Kynemia’s POV : measuring grudge level towards her based on the original story and plotting a route to end her debutante savely lol), others (except Countess Leslie) are secretly looking away, pretending not to see anything as they couldn’t find fault with her appearance.

    Duke Roslin had a grudge towards Kynemia’s father because his beauty caught his daughter (Fairy) to the point she was saying nonsense that she would follow him to death after he was stabbed to death. Kynemia sent him a potion for the duchess as a thank you gift for the invitation. The potion worked well but he didn't send any reply to her because he wanted to see her reaction at the debutante.

    Kynemia walks straight to Duke Roslin then thanks him for the invitation and asks about the potion. He replies that the potion works well and tries to test her but she uses the chance to promote her alchemist workshop. He praises her, saying her way reminds him of her grandfather, but he feels sad because he had a son like her father. She thinks he still has a grudge towards her family.

    The Duke laughs at Kynemia’s pale face. He introduces his wife to her. She thanks Kynemia for the potion. Kynemia and Duke continue the talk about opening a new branch for the alchemist workshop. Kynemia wants her debutante to pass safely like that. The Duchess asks her about dance, so Kynemia tells her that isn’t her purpose this time. There is a man surrounded by 3 ladies, signaling that they want to dance with him. Kynemia doesn’t want to join. She is afraid she will walk the same path with his father. When The Duke steps out because of someone's call, other nobles try to approach Kynemia. She runs away by telling the Duchess that she wants to take a walk in the garden. The Duchess reminds her that there is renovation work.

    Kynemia realizes The Duchess’ words about the renovation when she takes a walk in the garden. She takes shelter when the rain starts to fall. She watches everyone dance happily in the hall from there, thinking how happy they are and she would never feel love like that, while fiddling her bracelet. Suddenly she feels something wrong with the grass roof and the pillar. She tries to escape from there but her dress is stuck. The fabrics are too strong to pull, so she tries to take off her dress. When something almost falls on her, her pendant breaks then black smoke looks like a crow comes out from it.

    Something surrounds Kynemia like a barrier. Eian comes to the rescue. When he asks if she remembers him, Kynemia calls his name. When he hugs her, a lot of questions appear in her mind (How can he appear at the right time, does he always look at her, ect).

    Eian brings her back to the hall. Everyone is fascinated by his height and beauty. Some of the wizards recognize him and remember his rampage in the magic tower. Kynemia surprises everyone when she signals Eian (looks like command a dog lol) to wait in a corner while she talks to the Duke.

    Eian’s master in bird form talks to Eian while he waits for Kynemia. Eian had made a contract with his master that he will wait the pendant to break to meet Kynemia. Eian put a spell in the pendant to protect her and gave a restriction to his heart to prevent any unfortunate events. It could constrict his heart and cause him to die before he runs wild. Eian easily accepted that difficult proposal from his master. His master tells him to not tell it to Kynemia. Eian would do it even if his master did not ask for it. He missed her so much for five years and waited until she was in dangerous condition. So all means nothing for him, as long as he meets Kynemia.

    Kynemia asks Duke’s permission to leave the party, but the duke and duchess reply why she doesn’t take this chance to dance. They think the reason why Kynemia didn’t have any interest before is because she has someone like Eian. Kynemia couldn’t ask Eian to dance, so Eian, who could read the situation, shamelessly asks her for a dance. Kynemia accidentally steps on his foot once. Eian teases her by purposely making her step on his foot several times. :blobjoy:

    The opening of a new alchemist workshop in duke’s territory led to another new offer. Everything goes well except the temple who annoys Kynemia like a fly. Eian tells her that she could ask him to do anything about it.

    Kynemia thinks that Eian would make the Magic Tower clash with the temple, so Eian tells her that he will do it alone and take a disguise. Kynemia rejects it, thinking that she wouldn't ever go to a good place even after she died if she stays with Eian like that.

    When Shadenwi (young alchemist) approaches them with a pink flower bouquet, Eian hugs Kynemia, telling her that there is a bug in her hair. Eian compares himself with Shadenwi and thinks that he should make no one approaches Kynemia while he was away. Shadenwi, who could read the situation, leaves them.

    Kynemia wonders why the jaryeonhgcho that she raises does not grow properly. Eian tells her that she needs Hams spring water to grow it outside the dungeon and asks how she grows it so far. She answers that she raises it with sincerity and heart. Eian holds his laughter but Kynemia recognize it, so he tries to comfort her. Kynemia asks why he knows it so Eian replies that he saw it in a book and he memorizes all the books in the magic tower library. He asks for a reward so Kynemia pat his head. After debutante, Kynemia prevents Eian from chasing her by making him choose to stay in Hyeminwon (alchemist workshop) or return to the magic tower. Eian tells her that he won’t cause an accident and will stay calm so he asks her permission to stay at her castle but fails. In the end, Eian tells her that he is satisfied with her patting his hair. When her palm reaches his ear, he buries his face deeply in her palm. As soon as he takes a deep breath and the hot breath he exhales touches her hand, she gets goosebumps and draws her hand, saying it’s over. Kynemia tries to get back to her senses.

    The MTL results sometimes switch between Church and Temple.
    Which term should I use in the future?

    The Church got the information that Kynemia sent a complaint to the emperor for Church's sabotage towards Hyeminwon. The emperor is cunning, tells the church that there must be a misunderstanding and wants the church to deal with it between them. The church’s higher blame each other because the problem started when they closed the church in Kynemia’s Grand Duchy to bury their problem and put the blame to Kynemia. With Duke Roslyn joining hands with Kynemia, the church also lost one of their donors. Actually they are splitted in 2 sides because of High Priest corruption (selling Holy artifacts to richer himself). As the High Priest says he gets new donors who didn’t want to reveal his name, the other party couldn’t file the complaint any longer. The High Priest launches The Wolf of God (a small number of elite between the Holy Knights that was created to entrust the church’s dirty work) to slaughter all alchemists in Hyeminwon.

    Kynemia and Law visit a small restaurant called Silver Song, which the original protagonist usually visits. She wants to try the menu which the original protagonist likes and to recruit Ziklin to help her found Hams Hot Spring.

    The Wolf of God splits into two parties to attack Hyeminwon in their closing time. The alchemist who wants to warn Shen Tien about the attack falls into Eian’s room. He asks for his help so the attacker asks if he is one of the alchemists. Eian replies no and tells them to continue what they do while reading a book. He looks like an emperor watching a play in front of him. The alchemist remembers that Shen Tien once told them to bring Kynemia’s name to move Eian. He tells Eian that he will say nice things about Eian to Kynemia. Eian defeats all the attackers in front of him and reminds the alchemist about his promise.

    Angel and the remaining The Wolf of God find Shen Tien and the other alchemists. Shen Tien is the only one who could block the attack. Shen Tien recognizes a crow flies above them. As a human being, he reminds Angel to give up but rejected. Eian comes and wipes the remaining attacker. He thinks he should get a lot of compliments from Kynemia.

    You're welcome. :blobmelt:

    Sometimes I make spoiler for titles which interest me, as I can read again the spoiler when I miss the story because I don't have enough patient to copy and save the entire MTL. :notlikeblob:

    Kynemia suddenly shivers (lol Eian, she could feel your intention).

    Ziklin is a famous information guild dealer. He tells her that she was quite famous as Eian went around the world for 5 years to brainwash all wizards he could found to make them not giving Kynemia any harm. Kynemia thinks why Eian never told her about that. Ziklin also informs that she was famous for other things, too, but Kynemia doesn’t want to hear the rest.

    Kynemia has 3 requests towards Ziklin in exchange for a bracelet which could cure his gluttony curse (he actually a gourmet but cursed with gluttony which also lower his taste) : the location of Hams Hot Springs (he also informs that she needs to give a lot of money to the landlord to access the location), the way to deal with the church (he informed about High Priest’s corruption and will provide evidence to her), and to add her in his main customer list.

    Ziklin will accept her requests if she could answer his questions, which his current customer is curious about. She thinks he will ask for information about her business but he actually asks about trivial things (her fav food, color, etc). She asks who wants to know about that so he replies that his customer never meant any harm for her and wants to support her from the dark (my personal note : why do I feel that customer is Eian? lol). Kynemia answers all the questions then gives him the bracelet and finishes the deal. When she wants to return to Hyeminwon, a mercenary makes a move on her. Law and Ziklin stopped him. Ziklin wants to escort her to the carriage but she refuses. About twenty of K’shan dark knight appear to escort her, surprising Ziklin and everyone inside the restaurant.

    Eian finished a one-sided massacre in Hyeminwon. Kynemia returns when they clean the mess. Eian purposely hurt his arm to make it look not too suspicious, make her worry about him, and warn everyone with his glare. The alchemists are shocked by his contrast.

    When Eian takes a bath, the alchemist explains what had happened to Kynemia in Eian’s room. He doesn’t forget to praise Eian to the point Kynemia thinks Eian forced them. Kynemia wants to take revenge on The High Priest but calms herself. She lays herself in Eian’s bed and smells his fragrance in his pillow. Eian, who just finished taking a bath, asks what she is doing. Kynemia answers that the pillow smells like him. Eian can’t reply with his usual attitude. He thinks why he is the one who is always troubled by her - how she forgets that now is a night, with just two of them in his room. As Kynemia doesn’t show any clue, Eian gives up and tries to calm his mind.

    Eian wants a reward so Kynemia pats his head, but he says if that’s not enough anymore. Kynemia asks if he wants to come to her castle but he replies that he had given up on that. He won’t tell her and will give her time to think so she will think harder and make him stay in her mind a little longer.

    Eian wants to take care of the church, to the point of seducing (whispers in her hear) Kynemia to get her permission, but Kynemia rejects it and will deal with it herself. She hides herself in the blanket like a cocoon as her defense (She thought her mother's blood ran in her, weak with a handsome man). She thinks his brave side comes from his ability, different from herself who tries so hard to distance herself from guillotine. She remembers what Ziklin had said about Eian and tells him to be nice. He replies that he will try if she wishes (Sorry, I forgot to mention a scene when they dance before. Eian told her that he couldn't be nice to other people except Kynemia). Eian asks if he could hug her (Kynemia still hides herself in the blanket) as today’s compliment but she refuses.

    Ziklin comes to Kynemia’s mansion. They discuss the Church’s attack towards Hyeminwon. Kynemia had suffered losing family members, so her grudge towards High Priest attacking Hyeminwon is higher than herself as the target. Ziklin informs her that the church is divided into 4 factions : High Priest and 3 elders. Among the elders, Silver Society is the one who is most wary of the High Priest. Kynemia already has a plan to punish the High Priest and put Silver Society as the replacement. She will pay as much as possible to Ziklin to help her with the information. Ziklin asks for her signature, telling her to draw 2 hearts near it on a piece of paper, then takes a record of her smiling while holding the paper as the price. He also asks a question (why there is a slingshot in the list of 3 things she wants to bring when she lands on a deserted island) for a price. She replies that she will use it to collect food. Kynemia thinks who is the stalker who asks for it.

    News about The God’s Wolves reaching the church. The High Priest prepares for a runaway. When he calls for paladin, no one comes, so he opens the door and finds Moulton, Silver Society’s elder. The High Priest tries to get his help, telling him that he will use his money for donation under Moulton’s name, so Moulton could rise into the High Priest position while letting him run away. Kynemia steps in at that moment and introduces herself.

    Kynemia gives the evidence of High Priest’s corruption to Moulton and tells him that the wealth which The High Priest collected so far will be transferred to Moulton under an anonymous donor who was helped by him in the past, in exchange of letting her to deal withThe High Priest. He will announce that The High Priest ran away outside the empire. The High Priest asks Kynemia to deal with him following the law. Kynemia replies that she will follow the law, but under her territory law. Moulton tells Kynemia that he will meet again with her in the future, to talk about reopening the church in her territory.

    Kynemia passes the day leasury. She looks at the jewelry catalog. Vanessa (her nanny) asks if she would choose a gift for Duchess Rosslyn in exchange for a jeweled fan which the duchess sent to her before, but Kynemia replies that she choses a gift for Eian because he keeps asking for prizes. Her mind wanders to the bracelet they had exchanged before. He always wears it and she feels not very comfortable to keep him wearing a bracelet that someone else had given her. She realizes that she doesn’t know much about Eian. Vanessa says that Kynemia has become a full fledged adult. She smiles like a mother matching her daughter’s budding romance. Kynemia tells her if what she will give to Eian is a friendship bracelet but Vanessa doesn’t trust what Kynemia’s said at all.

    Lord Rockdoor (the owner of a mountain with Ham’s Hot Spring in it) comes to Kynemia’s mansion. Kynemia asks him why he couldn’t sell the mountain even though she would pay 1.5 times the market price. She thinks he wants to sell it at a higher price, but the reason is actually because the hot spring is in frozen condition. The artifact which keeps the hot spring is broken and needs a wizard's help who could use fire magic. As it’s not easy to get the wizard's help, he insists on selling it at half price if Kynemia still wants to buy it.

    Kynemia asks Eian to introduce her to the fire wizard, but Eian doesn’t want to. He wants to help her but she rejects. After a lot of bickering, Eian wins in the end. He escorts ther to Ham’s Hot Spring, telling her to not let go of his hand when they walk on the frozen surface. He teases her several times and asks her to say,”I only have you.” she said it but he wants her to say it again with a pretty face and voice, so she replies she won’t. lol

    Eian tells her that he did something wrong and to not let go of his hand. She asks why they need to be so close to make the magic work, different from how Law used it. Eian realizes that he got caught lying, so he jokes that the ice will break. Kynemia tells him that she will take revenge soon. (Note : the way they bicker always reminds me of Raeliana and Noah).

    Eian lights a fire to the ancient relic. The warm feeling begins to spread and the lake starts to melt. Kynemia wants to return again in the spring, so Eian asks if he needs to show her and uses his magic, so spring comes to the surrounding area. Eian makes her walk freely on the water’s surface, looking around the scenery. She tells him that she wants to learn magic and thinks about why her parents gave birth to a pretty piece of trash like her. Eian tells her that they will definitely be able to do it in their next life because he thinks it’s better than telling her that she can do something she can’t do. Kynemia hates him because she is going to live her whole life with the hope that she can do it. Eian tells her to say,”break” while pointing her hand to a rock and using his magic to break it. Kynemia thinks that he makes fun of her. Eian thinks that he should use his magic at a larger scale, so Kynemia stops him. Eian asks for a reward so she strokes his hair while lamenting her situation. Eian bends down close enough for their breath to touch and makes eye contact with her, while saying that she couldn’t do that anymore as a reward.

    While Eian tries to threaten her to give him reward by using a larger scale magic, she stops him and gives him a blue gem bracelet. She also takes off the old bracelet she gave him before, telling him that what she gave him before wasn’t something she made, but the new one is something that she had chosen. Eian tells her that he likes it. Kynemia uses this chance to tell him that she wants to know more about him, who she wants to be close to. Eian asks her if it’s really okay if he tells her everything and she replies it doesn’t matter (even though she herself couldn’t tell him everything like she remembers her past life). Eian tries to take this chance, so he holds her face. His fingers go down until reaching her lips.

    Kynemia starts to avoid Eian after that and two weeks just past. The development of Jaryeongcho in Ham’s Hot Springs has started. The emperor sent her a personal letter containing a medal and public address in response to the good news.

    Kynemia has a dream when her mother died and her father cried, lamenting about the love his wife spoke of ended like that. She knows that she dreamed about it because of what had happened with Eian, so she tries to come to her sense, reminds herself that Eian is her one and only friend.

    Monsters from dungeon running out then flock in Shannonbell. They attract adventurers but bring complaints from farmers as the adventurers' nature are outlaws who are confident in their fists. Kynemia goes for an inspection before making the decision. When someone asks why she doesn’t go with Eian, who will make her travel more comfortably, she replies that Eian also has work to do. She doesn’t know why she feels so tired. For a moment, she feels her lips are burning, so she buries her face in the cushion inside the carriage

    Wolfman (Eian’s master) trembles due to a sudden sense of discomfort. Benjamin, the counselor, suddenly appears, informing him that Eian is back with a bad mood to Magic Tower. Wolfman thinks something must be happening between Eian and Kynemia.

    Wolfman commands Benjamin to set the barrier and asks him to tell Baker, his ex-wife, that he loves her, if something goes wrong. Wolfman approaches and talks to Eian. From their talk, he realizes that Kynemia avoids Eian. Eian already knew how notorious he was so he hid his nature as much as possible in front of Kynemia, but Wolfman thinks Eian couldn't imitate at least 80% of a normal person. Eian jokingly says that he will bring the Magic Tower to its end within the end of his love, so Wolfman tells him that everyone in the Magic Tower will bless his love. To stop Eian from making further mess in the Magic Tower, Wolfman tells him about a necromancer who has appeared in the area of Marquis Heling and asks his help to deal with it. Wolfman passes the responsibility for guiding Eian to Benjamin.

    Kynemia, in her disguise as a sister of her knights, eats at the only pub in Shannonbell. She has a talk with Marcella, the owner. Marcella informs her about the plan to close the business because drunken outsiders broke the pub. Kynemia gives her 5 gold coins to fix the damage and improve the pub, then reveals herself as the lord.

    The knights deal with a man who follows Kynemia. She thinks the security is really the problem, but she couldn’t just send the knights from the grand duchy to guard in there. She remembers about golem in the original story and wants to use it as the guard. Golem and magic machines powered by magic stones are in the control of Shamans, people who can’t become a wizard because they can't use their magic power. Shamans have the monopoly right because one of them had saved the emperor’s life. Kynemia plans to go to the Magic Tower by herself, using a warp stone, to talk with Wolfman, thinking that she won’t meet Eian because he must be in Hyeminwon.

    Benjamin and Marquis Heling watch how Eian’s magic creates greater damage than the necromancer and the ghouls. Eian also uses time magic at the frozen pond, making it look like spring. Benjamin thinks Eian remembers his memories with Kynemia when they were together in the mountains. Marquis Healing wants to ask someone to stop Eian creating bigger damage, but none of them have that ability. Because of Kynemia comes to magic tower, Wolfman sends a lark to inform Benjamin to hold Eian. Benjamin informs the damage that Eian creates so Wolfman tells him to tell Eian to use restoration magic. Benjamin calms down after Wolfman tells him that he will talk with Eian about it, but he is scared if Eian knows the fact he is hiding the information about Kynemia visiting the Magic Tower.

    Kynemia walks in the garden while waiting for Wolfman. She meets Judith from the Technology Department. Judith thinks Kynemia is a newcomer. She tries to scout Kynemia to her department by showing her a device to check and categorize magic ability. When Judith tries to use the device on Kynemia, Kynemia tells Judith that she doesn't have any magic power. Judith thinks Kynemia is a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome which she thinks is special because she hides her power while saying she has none of it). Kynemia let her to use it, thinking that Judith will give up after she can’t detect any magic from her. Wolfman comes and saves Kynemia at the right time. Judith talks with Wolfman, signaling that she needs more budget for her department. Wolfman dedges it by saying her device is broken, hiding the truth about Kynemia’s 0 magic power. Judith thinks Kynemia has too strong magic power that couldn’t be measured by her device, like Eian.

    Kynemia asks Wolfman to trade magic machines. Wolfman wants to tell her that magic machines created in magic tower only can be used in magic tower because of Shaman's monopoly. Kynemia reads his intention, so she tells him that she has a way to break the monopoly. Kynemia tells him about a loophole in the monopoly. In the current agreement, the monopoly mentions the use of the current magic stone. Kynemia mentions the new magic power which holds a stronger power than the current one. Magic tower can use the new magic stone to develop magic machines for the trade. They know Shamans won’t just stay with it, but Wolfman himself also has a great power that can threaten the emperor. Kynemia asks Golem for the trade, so Wolfman explains about the department in Magic Tower and informs her about Judith. He will arrange a meeting with the Technology Department.

    When Kynemia thinks everything goes well, Wolfman drops the bomb, asking about Eian. Kynemia tries her best to tell him that they are usually going well. Wolfman tells her that he can lock up Eian in Magic Tower if she doesn’t like him, while thinks ‘maybe’ Baltus 1 level barrier can hold him. Kynemia replies that she doesn’t hate him, just not familiar after 5 years separation. Wolfman can tell about that 5 years if Kynemia wants it. Kynemia tells him that she knew some of it from Ziklin and she wants to wait for Eian to tell the rest to her, knowing that everyone has something that they don't want to talk about. Wolfman thinks about how adult Kynemia is, thinking that Eian has a fine taste. Wolfman warps Kynemia to Eian’s room and tries to talk good about the messy room. Kynemia replies that the room looks the same with Eian’s room in Hyeminwon. Suddenly Benjamin’s familiar approaches Wolfman. Wolfman asks Kynemia to wait there while he is dealing with it.

    Eian caughted the necromancer then hurries to return to Magic Tower. Benjamin sends his familiar while trying to hold him. He tells Eian about Wolfman’s command to use restoration magic. Eian doesn’t listen to him and warps himself to his room. While Benjamin continues to ask him, Eian suddenly smiles (Did he find Kynemia?) then tells him that he wants to take a rest and will do Wolfman’s request after that. Benjamin doesn’t know what made Eian change his mind.

    Kynemia hides herself in the curtain when she heard Eian’s voice. Eian recognizes her so he tells Benjamin to leave him alone. Eian reaches out to the curtain. He tells her that he misses her and asks her permission to hug her. He rejects his request but she tells him that she also misses him a little and to not think of her as a pervert. Eian replies if that was a shame and tries to take off his clothes, so Kynemia comes out from the curtain and grabs him. Eian asks her to praise him after doing a good job dealing with necromancer in the Marquis Heling’s territory. Kynemia tells him that her grandfather publicly criticized him for his stupidity, so Eian corrects that he made a big damage there. They laugh together. Kynemia feels better after talking about trivial things with him.

    Eian tidies up the desk then makes Kynemia sit. He asks why she was avoiding him. Kynemia tells him that she is actually not someone who likes to avoid things. She doesn't feel familiar with his face after 5 years, but now she feels better. Eian, who caught up with what she means, feels it’s a shame and tries to close their gap. Kynemia finally tells him that she feels that she is the only one who keeps getting weird because of him, so Eian laughs while letting out a quiet word that he will take responsibility for the misunderstanding. Kynemia asks about what Eian means by misunderstanding, so Eian changes the topic. He makes Kynemia promise him that she would never say something like before carelessly except for Eian or he will punish her.

    Eian asks why she is thinner and why her hand is hurted. She replies that she couldn’t sleep well and her hand was cut by a paper while trying to hide before. Eian takes her hand to his mouth, licks her wound, then tells her to get well soon after that, while wishing that she will be more conscious of him. Kynemia, speechless, opens her mouth.

    Wolfman realizes that Eian had met with Kynemia, so he goes to Marquis Heling and deal with the restoration. Benjamin tells him that Eian had set 5 layer barrier. Wolfman tells him to leave Eian alone for their own good, as he is with Kynemia. Wolfman looks at the only beautiful spot around the pond then asks what was happened to Benjamin. Benjamin replies that he tought Eian remwmbered his date with Kynemia in the mointain. Wolfman keeps his mouth and continues his work.

    Judith returns to her department and finds Phillip, her long time enemy and the head of the attribute magic research department in there. He tries to mock her, but she tells him that she gets a new recruit. After Phillip leaves her, she tells the rest of her team about Kynemia and her plan to make her as the new face of their department, while showing them the video sphere. They praise her beauty.

    Judith wants Kynemia to be the face of her department on the Mock Siege, 1 of 3 major festivals of the Magic Tower, broadcast live throughout the Magic Tower, and a game in which victory is achieved by protecting the castle and destroying the other team’s fortress. Her team members ask Judith more detail about Kynemia, but she doesn’t know more about her. They remember her reckless behavior, so they give up hope and continue their jobs. Judith attracts their attention again by making a contract using her magic power, so if they don’t send Kynemia out in the Mock Siege, Judith’s magic power will be sealed away for the rest of her life. One of her team members sends a familiar to inform Wolfman about this matter to Wolfman.

    Wolfman has a meeting with the elders in the Magic Tower about Kynemia’s request. Most of them accept it because they are tired of the Shamans’ monopoly. As they are also interested with Kynemia, Wolfman thinks he need to make a banquet to introduce her properly to everyone. When a familiar approaches him, Wolfman wants to inform a good news, but the familiar tells him about Judith’s problem.

    Kynemia evacuates to Hyeminwon to make whole wheat cookies because everyone in the castle makes a fuss every time she tries to get close to the kitchen, as it doesn’t suit a lady. She wants to fill the boring time as she couldn’t enjoy social gatherings and various festivals at the capital (she is still afraid of everyone’s resentment towards her from the original story). She has a talk with Shen Tian about opening a new branch in Shannonbell to sell potion and acupuncture that are popular among adventurers. He also thanks her because Kynemia makes his desire to live leisurely increase day by day. She tells him about what she had heard from everyone (who asks her to stop) about his plan to make a forest and a pond with alcohol. He coughs, avoids her eyes, and tells her to not believe them.

    Laws finishes his job then approaches Kynemia. She wonders why her heart feels the difference between Law and Eian saying something cute and lovely about her. A lark approaches Kynemia, informing about the success of the deal with the Magic Tower, but there is a note attached.

    Wolfman, Eian, and Judith have a meeting. Wolfman gives Eian a tea with strong sedatives properties which Shen Tian had claimed it calms the mind of wild beasts. Eian wants to kill Judith for the trouble she had caused. Wolfman realizes even that tea wouldn't work for Eian. There is a rule that wizards who can participate in Mock Siege are limited to those below the highest level, so Eian can’t help Kynemia. Judith doesn’t have any clue about Eian’s reaction. Kynemia comes later to the meeting. Wolfman introduces Kynemia properly to Judith. Kynemia wants to use this chance to get free Golems. When Kynemia laughs evilly, Judith senses that her soul would be stolen by Kynemia.

    Wolfman leaves the decision to Kynemia. Kynemia wants to participate, but Eian rejects it. Kynemia tells Wolfman that she was rarely involved with the capital because there is a lot of hate for her family. Eian can’t reject her decision anymore, but he will make a fuss if something happens with Kynemia during the game. Judith will make Kynemia wait inside the castle during the game for her safety. Benjamin thinks everything will be alright, but sadly only until the game starts.

    The Mock Siege is held in a huge sub-space opened by the five elders who preside over it. Kynemia enters the castle and looks at various magic machines in there. She thinks that it’s a waste to let the magic machines only be used inside Magic Tower. The Technology Development Department members love her reaction as they are usually ignored by other departments in the Magic Tower. Sadly, in the past, they always lost the game.

    Judith and Philip’s faces appear on the screen. Someone informs Kynemia about the famous battle of nerves between them. Philip wants to make a bet, in which the loser will be the slave of the winning team for a week. He asks Judith about her new recruit. Judith shows Kynemia’s face on the screen. A lot of wizards join Judith’s team after they look at Kynemia’s face (wizards can join the team even after the game has started). Wolfman is surprised. He wants to join but Benjamin reminds him about the rule. They realize that they can’t find Eian. Philip offers a date with the most handsome man in his team for anyone who becomes the ace in his team, so Judith offers Kynemia’s kiss, without Kynemia’s permission. Suddenly there is a notification that the restriction for participation is removed. There are 3 new flags that appear in the battle. One of them is Benjamin. He thinks Eian is the one who changed the rule and he must have already entered the game. Benjamin thinks he needs to protect Kynemia’s kiss before Eian’s rampage.

    Eian asked (threaten) the host to change the rule. He already destroys 7 forts. Kynemia trembles because she can see him smile on the screen while telling her that he will wait for the rewards. Wolfman, who can sense Eian’s win, also appears on the screen, telling her that kiss only can be done after 20 and she only can hug before 20. Eian and Wolfman fight against each other even though they are on the same team. Benjamin, who destroys the enemy steadily, also appears on the screen. He tells everyone that he doesn’t aim for Kynemia’s kiss. Wolfman and Eian keep fighting until both of them reach Philip’s castle. Eian comes as the winner as he is the one who breaks the enemy’s core. Judith cheers up for her win and makes Philip as her slave.

    Wolfman escorts Kynemia at the after party. He introduces her to the elders. He tells her to let him know if she feels uncomfortable. Kynemia actually feels comfortable as all of them are wizards and she remembers Eian brainwashed most of them, so she can enjoy the party without measuring grudge level like in her debutante. Eian appears later and makes a fuss. While Wolfman, Benjamin, and Eian have an argument and ask for Kynemia’s comment, they just realize that Kynemia, who is the shortest, is trying to look at them. Wolfman and Benjamin think she is cute then pat her head. Eian catches her and tells her to say no when any man touches her.

    Finally Eian confessed!
    It's a shame I only can share the spoiler.
    If you can access the raw, I reccomend to read 88-89. :blobmelt:

    Kynemia doesn’t want to follow what Eian had said, so she tells him that she likes her grandpa and approaches Wolfman. Wolfman tells Kynemia to not be close with someone with a bad personality, with a look like a winner in front of Eian, so Eian reminds him that he is the winner or the game. Wolfman replies that he would be the winner if Eian didn’t throw dirt to his eyes. Benjamin offers alcohol to Kynemia but Eian throws it, reminding him why he gave alcohol to a child. Kynemia is mad as she is only 1 year younger than Eian (Eian 18 & Kynemia 17). Wolfman lets Eian snatching Kynemia away.

    Eian takes Kynemia to the waterfall near the end part of the flying island. Other wizard couples moved away when they saw him. Kynemia wonders what Eian had done to make them avoid him. Eian pretends he doesn’t know while looking like an abandoned dog in the rain. Kynemia doesn’t believe him but lets it go as Eian is always kind to herself (his friend). Eian sits her on a swing and asks if she is drunk so she says no. The empire had a developed drinking culture and was tolerant of underage drinking, so Kynemia also knew her drinking limit well. Eian then asks why her face is red. At some point, whenever Eian makes eye contact, Kynemia often feels anxious and doesn’t know what to do. She finally tells him that she is scared. Eian seems stiff, so Kynemia corrects her words, that she is scared to be conscious of him so she hopes that Eian doesn’t cross the line. Eian wants Kynemia to look at him then asks why she is scared. Kynemia tells him that she keeps thinking about her dad (the moment her mother died). Eian asks her to try it with him, even 1 or 2 months, as long as she can find out. Kynemia asks back if he is really okay with her testing him. Finally, Eian tells her that he loves her (more than she can imagine). He confesses that he didn’t mean to mislead her and he did it on purpose to make her see him as a man, so she can test everything, not to anyone else, but him. Kynemia is speechless, so he tells her that there is no need to try to answer his heart, so she just needs to be swayed by his force for a moment in the test. Eian asks for his prize. When Kynemia doesn’t know what to do then closes her eyes, Eian kisses the corner of her mouth. He says that he is going to be nice until today. Kynemia stands up, rubs the corner of her mouth, then takes a walk. When Eian takes her hand, she can feel his cold hand, so she realizes that Eian is as nervous as her.

    Marquis Heling and Viscount Womack talk about His Majesty’s participation in the subjugation on Leon’s territory. Because the previous Grand Duke of Leon died without being able to legally pass on the title, Kynemia is in a position in which she is acting as a lord in her own right, officially an unauthorized occupation. According to the imperial law, permission to inherit the title passed to the emperor. Viscount Womack doesn’t give Marquis Heling a further information about His Majesty’s plan.

    Kynemia, now 18 years old, celebrates the new year in Hyeminwon, throws gold coins while wishing that she won’t have any connection with the main character, as the time for his appearance is going near. Suddenly a young alchemist appears, informing her about an uproar.

    Shen Tian and Law have a fight because Law wants to destroy Shen Tian’s alcohol pond. Instead of calming them, Kynemia also joins the bet. When she bets on Law, everyone tells her that no one bets on Shen Tian. Suddenly, knights wearing armor and riding horses in formation pass in front of Hyeminwon to her castle. Kynemia returns to the castle while looking at the knight’s flag.

    Viscount Chris Womack, Leader of The Eagles - Imperial Knight, brings an imperial order, commands her to support Viscount Womack in the subjugation. His grudge level is 10/10 and risk is 7/10 because his dream of raising in social status was thwarted twice as his bride-to-be’s family was purged at the hands of Kynemia’s grandfather before he could get married. They have some arguments. He even reminds her about her position (no official title). Kynemia realizes her position and the imperial order, so she will follow it, even though they throw sarcastic comments against each other.

    The knights stay for a while in her castle. The occupants of the castle show basic courtesy but act harshly towards the knight, so a fight almost breaks out. Kynemia tries to console them. The next day Kynemia watches them leaving the castle while remembering the original plot. In the original plot, Viscount Womack wants to get an ancient relic from the north, but it falls into Og MC’s hand who happened to fall into another world. Og MC goes on adventures, runs through dungeons, and defeats villains. Kynemia suddenly realizes that she had taken a lot of options from Og MC. She hopes that she won’t be a villain again as there is still the final boss. She goes to sleep to calm her anxiety.

    Kynemia wants to go to Magic Tower to meet Judith and check the progress about the Golem, but she is still not ready to meet Eian. As far as she knows, Eian stays in the Magic Tower after his confession. Kynemia check his room in the Hyeminwon before departs to Magic Tower and finds him sleeping. When she tries to leave, the door is closed, and Eian asks where she plans to go. Kynemia tells him that she wants to go to Judith. Eian places 3 round cores (Golem’s core) to her while asking if she wants that from Judith. Kynemia asks why he has it, but Eian rests his forehead on her head and hugs her, asking her to wait for a while because he couldn’t sleep last night and was dizzy. Kynemia feels tickless and tries to calm herself. While she asks if Eian is still dizzy, he playfully replies yes, so she pushes him. Eian asks her to wait for him to fully wake up. Kynemia asks about Judith so Eian replies that she doesn’t die and he didn’t kill her. Eian claims that he takes the core because Judith is busy with redesign. When Eian goes to the bathroom, Kynemia sits on his bed while holding his pillow. Eian teases her a lot after that.

    Viscount Womack runs north without thinking much about monsters running into the village. He thinks a little sacrifice isn’t a big matter for his purpose.

    Kynemia comes to Shannonbell and shows the Golem to the villager. The old villager thanks her for her help.

    After showing the golem to the villagers, Kynemia wants to take a walk in the Shannonbell, but Eian wants them to return. Kynemia realizes Judith and several wizards do the repair job in there. Eian is the one who made Judith and other wizards do it, but he tells Kynemia that he just ‘ask their help’. Kynemia knows that Eain doesn't want her to know it. She closes her eyes as she gets the help. A dark knight who tailed Viscount Womack gives her information, so Kynemia asks him to bring her to the location.

    Kynemia catches Bernand, Viscount Womack’s adjudant and tells him to spill the truth. Something different happened from the original. In the original, Viscount Womack finds out information about ancient relics then goes to subjugation. Bernard informs her that the emperor is the one who knows about the ancient relic and Viscount Womack volunteered in the subjugation to mock her. Kynemia wants to go to the place of the relic, but Eian and the dark knight remind her about the danger. Kynemia tells Eian that she can return early if she goes with him. Eian doesn’t give her a reply, so she whispers something in his ear so they go together. Dark knights look at Kynemia’s red face while Eian smiles and holds her hand.

    A cute little monster, looks very different from the original, appears and tries to attract Kynemia into the ancient relic’s barrier. Kynemia remembers that Judith once told her that her magic measurement machine was broken after Kynemia touched it. Kynemia tries to applies the same thing with that time to the barrier and it breaks. Eian praises how strong Kynemia is. Viscount Womack comes late after knowing that Bernard told Kynemia the location. Kynemia asks Eian to deal with them while Kynemia follows the monster. Eian reminds her about her promise before.

    Kynemia thinks why the original MC doesn’t appear and she is the one who does that role now. When she tries to pick the ancient relic, a paper with a heart sign flies to her. She feels that it looks like the one she had signed for Ziklin’s price. She tries to let it pass and continues to pick the ancient relic. The little monster in the shape of a wolf still follows her even after she returns.

    After confirming that Viscount Womack’s action is following the emperor’s order, Eian brainwashes him and the entire troop to think that they didn’t find the ancient relic, as Kynemia had asked.

    Kynemia sent letters to the emperor and Ziklin, but she didn't get any reply even after 5 days. She goes to Hyeminwon to fulfill her promise (a date) to Eian. Even without Kynemia saying anything, based on Eian's action so far, everyone thinks that she dates Eian.

    Kynemia comes early to Hyeminwon because she couldn’t sleep well and took some times for preparation. As she rarely goes out because mostly the merchant came to the castle, she wants to go shopping for the date. She thinks Eian is still sleeping. Kynemia meets Law so she asks him questions about relationships. She is shocked when he tells her that he has never broken up since he was 14, so she thinks who the lucky person is, but not asking him. She masks her story and makes it into her friend’s story. Everyone except Law notices if what she said is about her and Eian. Law tells her about physical contact, but the alchemists close her ear when what he says reaches more than kissing. They tell her to take it slowly, so Kynemia reminds them of the story about her friend. They lament why Shen Tian is not there to stop Law. Shen Tian runs away after Law destroys his alcohol pond. Law tells her to not worry about him because he usually returns after the alcohol runs out. Kynemia goes to Eian’s room.

    Wolfman calls Eian to Magic Tower because his action (making every wizard who fights for Kynemia in the game to help repair the village) makes Magic Tower in serious trouble. Most of them are sick. With necromancers appearing everywhere, they lack manpower. In the meantime, Wolfman will use his familiars to look at the cases. Wolfman tells Eian that today he is annoyingly handsome, so he replies that he feels more confident as he has a date with Kynemia, then leaves the Magic Tower before Wolfman could stop him.

    Kynemia waits in front of Eian’s room, but no response, so she opens the door. Eian appears when she steps in his room, surprises Kynemia so she almost fall. When Eian catches her, the books fall above them, so Eian uses his body to protect her and asks if she is alright. Eian sits her in the bed then uses his magic to send the book somewhere. Kynemia asks where he came from, so Eian replies that his master called him and informed about the necromancer, while hiding the fact about the sick wizards. Kynemia worries about the weather so Eian tells her that he will deal with it. Eian puts a cloak on Kynemia and hides her face in it.

    Kynemia and Eian enjoy the shopping. He sends what she bought directly to the castle. Kynemia asks if there is a place that Eian wants to go to, so he replies that he wants to go to Summer Sea Festival, reminding her about their promise to go together someday before their parting in the past. Eian pretends to not know that couples go there and tease Kynemia, so she is annoyed and tells him that she will tell him when turn 20. He laughs at her so she corrects that she will kill him before turning 20. Eian knows that Kynemia hates the dark, so he uses his magic to light the road when it gets dark. When he asks if what he has done makes her like him, Kynemia replies a little. Eian doesn’t expect that answer so he asks her to repeat it, but Kynemia rejects it. Kynemia asks several questions about him. When he asks if she wants to return, she asks him to close his eyes as she wants to test something. Kynemia looks at his face then light kisses him on the lips. Eian grabs her wrist strongly, tries to calm himself. Kynemia reminds him that he told her about the test. Eian asks if she hates it (kissing him) so she replies no. Eian asks when the next test is. Kynemia replies that she will think about it. Eian wishes that she had thought sooner.

    In other places, a man and shaman gather necromancers. They revives Eian’s father’s corpse as a ghoul. It tells them that Eian was the one who destroyed his kingdom.

    In the capital, Marquis Heling and the nobles talk about Viscount Womack (the result of subjugation) and Kynemia (collects a lot of wealth but her title as Grand Duchess is still not yet official). They also think about the emperor's next move. Duke Julian Everret says that Kynemia also quite scandalous. Marquis Heling, Duke Julian Everret, and Margrave think that “Kynemia Leon Fairy’s Dark Knight” (the guild new name registered by Law) is just a fake imitating the disbanded Dark Knight so they make a plan to bring down Kynemia using the connection inside The Dungeon Management Bureau.

    When Kynemia and Vanessa talk about their next move for the capital, Law comes and informs them that The Dungeon Management Bureau says that their guild can no longer run the highest level dungeons. As new types of magic stones were discovered and the difficulty of dungeon increased, the dungeon management bureau decided to revise the operating regulations. Each guild must attack a dungeon appropriate for its rank, and since impersonating a guild with a current high rank occurs frequently, a penalty will be imposed on dungeon attack if it is discovered that the guild is impersonating. Law also tells her that their guild rank went down because Law changes the name into Kynemia Leon Fairy’s Dark Knight. Kynemia, who knows it for the first time, washes her face dry. She sends a letter to The Dungeon Management Bureau to explain that the new guild is the same as the former, but does not get a satisfactory reply. She thinks someone is pulling the strings behind her. Kynemia gets ready to the capital to meet the director of The Dungeon Management Bureau (Melanie Hawkins - in laws with Marquis Hering).

    Benjamin brings Eian to the Magic Tower for a serious matter. Eian actually doesn’t want to leave Kynemia, but Benjamin tells her about the sick wizards. Kynemia, who knows that they helped her to repair the village, can’t argue with it.

    Kynemia rides a carriage for 4 days to the capital. In the meantime, she sends requests to meet Melanie everyday but always be rejected, saying that the director is not in the office. She can’t stand it anymore, so she runs into her office after reaching the capital, breaking the door. As the talk doesn’t work well, Kynemia gives her a diamond necklace for her rudeness. Melanie thinks it’s the price for breaking the door, but Kynemia tells the Dark Knight to break the windows before leaving.

    Kynemia, who is still not comfortable in the capital, chooses to stay at a huge villa on the outskirts of the capital rather than a townhouse in the center of the capital. She plans to greet The Count, her uncle who lives in the capital after finishes her matter. Duchess Roslin comes to visit her after finishing her trip. She informs Kynemia about the connection between Melanie and Marquis Heling. Kynemia asks her help to meet with The Empress Dowager, Susan (Duchess Roslin’s mother). As the emperor didn't give any help for the problem with the temple, she wants Susan’s help for the matter with The Dungeon Management Bureau. Duchess Roslin doesn’t mind her request, but she reminds Kynemia that the rumor about her mother (She went into hiding because she was disillusioned by humans and now doing primate research in a greenhouse) is true. There is a possibility that Susan will act harshly towards Kynemia, but Kynemia doesn’t matter.

    Duchess Roslin is quite surprised because accept Kynemia’s request for a meeting. Kynemia comes to Susan’s greenhouse to ask her help to officially announce that her guild is The Dark Knight. Susan doesn’t have any interest in wealth, but Kynemia remembers well that Susan is obsessed with power, not yet let go of the authority of institutions within empires, so Kynemia offers her request to be used as a justification for Susan to re-establish the authority of The Guild Management HeadQuarters. It will start a fight between Susan and The Dungeon Management Bureau, so Kynemia needs to move following Susan’s order. Kynemia munches on the banana Susan gave her while thinking about growing up to become a person like Susan.

    Actually, the reason why Susan accepted the meeting with Kynemia was because she thought Kynemia wanted to ask about her grandfather. There was a rumor saying Susan is the one who poisoned Kynemia’s grandfather (this rumor made Susan hate humans and choose to live with animals). Kynemia’s mother once came to Susan to ask about it then passed away not long after that. Kynemia suddenly remembers that she still doesn’t know the culprit behind her grandfather's death.

    Eian goes to the location of his old house and finds out that his father’s corpse is missing. He wonders what the necromancers are looking for.

    The man who works together with shamans tortures Viscount Womack to get any information, but it doesn’t work. He commands his followers to search all the houses owned by Viscount Womack to find any traces. He still keeps Eian’s father ghoul as it may be useful for him in the future. Somehow he feels there is a link between Kynemia and Eian in Viscount Womack’s case. For him, Leon is truly a disgusting bunch of bastards.

    Kynemia can’t sleep because she thinks about the culprit behind the death of her grandfather and mother. She comes to a pond and Eian approaches her. He tells her that he just returns from his old home while tracking necromancers. He asks why she doesn’t sleep. Kynemia doesn’t want to answer, so he tells her if she wants him to sleep with her. Kynemia tells him about what she thought so Eian asks if she needs his help. She replies that how he can do that while they don’t know the real culprit. Eian wants her to lean on him more (to the point she can’t be without him). He is very proud of Kynemia's self-reliance, but at the same time, he wants her to rely on him for everything, so he can always be by her side, even when the time of ambiguous testing is over. Kynemia makes eye contact when he speaks vaguely,”Stay by my side. No matter what happens, I’m yours.” Eian also thinks if Kynemia becomes Grand Duke, he will be Grand Duchess. Kynemia laughs while thinking it wouldn’t be a bad idea to involve The Grand Duchess of The Magic Tower.

    Melanie laments what happened to Marquis Heling via communication line and tells him that she has done everything she can do and he needs to deal with the rest.

    Shen Tian follows Kynemia to the capital, while bringing a wolf. He tells her that the wolf helped him when he ran away, so he is going to raise it. Kynemia remembers if that wolf is the one that followed her but she abandoned it in the cave. When Shen Tian and Law bicker towards each other, Baron Gill Berridge comes to deliver an order from Susan.

    Susan will use the Tower of Trials, which in the past was a relic called The Tower of Training as it was a place where priests of the ancient gods trained. At some point, a monster called The Owner of The Tower appears at the top of the 10th floor. In principle, The Imperial Knights are supposed to periodically exterminate monsters up to 9th floor, but this time Susan will use this moment for guild war. They don't need to fight on the 10th floor and just enough to get to the top. The participating guilds can use mercenaries as long as they adhere to the number of people limit (7 peoples/guild). Kynemia is impressed by Susan. She adds Shen Tian and Eian in her group.

    Marquis Heling hires Erixina, A rank guild, to defeat Dark Knights in the guild war. He gave Keiril, the guild leader 20 platinas as down payment and will add 20 platinas later after finishing their job.

    The participating guilds are A rank, except for Dark Knight. Frost, from The Guild Management Headquarters, explains the rule and informs the prize. The winner of guild war will receive 200 platinas and rank up the guild to level S. Eian cleared the first floor by himself even when Frost still had not finished the explanation. Law reminds Eian and Shen Tien to work together in a group to not worry Kynemia.

    Erixina party members remind Keiril about Marquis Heling’s request, but he tells them to focus more on the 200 platina and rank up prize. They deal with monsters in area 1 of the 2nd floor. Dark Knights deal with monsters in area 5 of the 2nd floor. Frost is curious and follows Dark Knights. Each of them has top notch ability but the group strategy works as bad as the newly created F rank guild.

    Instead of sitting and waiting, Kynemia goes to the imperial library but the wolf follows her. The librarian let the wolf follow Kynemia, as long as it doesn’t damage the book. Kynemia looks at the book about her grandfather and the first emperor, but can’t find new information. She remembers that previous Duke Eferrest (Julian’s father) also had a grudge with her grandfather, but the current duke is his illegitimate son, so she thinks that he shouldn't have any grudge towards her. When she tries to reach another book in a higher place, someone asks her if that’s the book she wants.

    Keiril cleared the boss on the 4th floor. His guild is in the highest position followed by other 2 A rank guilds. For personal rank, 1 to 3 are by guild leader of each A rank guilds position. Dark Knights fall at the bottom, even Eian, Shen Tian, and Law also in lowest position, as their teamwork is in a bad shape. In the 5th floor, where there are hundreds of skeletons soldiers in snow land, the members of guilds are separated. One of The Dark Knights is actually relieved that Eian and Shen Tian (the culprit of the bad teamwork) are separated from them. Law and the rest of Dark Knights make their way to create some point. Eian and Shen Tian are in the same place, but they choose to split up as both of them are better at single fights. Eian cleared the 5th floor boss and ranked up to position 10. Dark Knight's personal score also ranks up. Other guilds can’t believe Eian cleared the boss twice (1st and 4th floor) by himself. Keiril thinks he used some tricks.

    Erixina and Dark Knights almost clash against each other. Frost reminds them about the rule and asks Law for help. Law enters the door to the 6th floor first, so the rest of the Dark Knight follow him. Erixina comes later while mocking about Kynemia and fairy. Law, Shen Tian, and Eian listen to it and get mad. Shen Tian can see if the 6th floor is on a different level. Eian takes the left side and massacres the monsters while warning The Dark Knights to also collect the score on the right side.

    Back in the library, Kynemia doesn’t know who the man is, so he introduces himself as the leader of the library. He coughs blood and tells her that his condition is normal and asks her to take a walk together.

    Eian steadily ranks up his position with defeating floor bosses and reaching 1st position in 7th floor (Only 2nd-4th floor bosses that wasn’t defeated by Eian). Shen Tian is in 3rd position because Keiril still holds the 2nd position. All Dark Knight members reach the top 20. Only 4 guilds remain when they reach 9th floor. With that condition, everyone realizes that the group they are competing with is the real Dark Knights. Eian defeats the 9th floor boss and makes the points difference with Keiril getting further.

    The leader of the library explains many things in the garden near the imperial library while constantly coughing blood. Kynemia just listens to him as she doesn’t know what to do. Strangely, she doesn’t feel anything suspicious. He also tells her that ancient relics are usually attracted to each other. At that time, Kynemia sees Eian’s silhouette in the pond then stretches her hand. Without her knowing, Kynemia warps to the 10th floor.

    Keiril pushes Eian to the 10th floor door then breaks the core. Shen Tian asks what he means by that. Exirina starts the fight with Dark Knights. Eian, who is trapped on the 10th floor, doesn’t have another method to leave except beating the boss. He feels his magic power is gradually absorbed but he still has a power that he had sealed from when he was 13, even though he doesn’t know if he can control it or not. As Kynemia’s figure appears in front of him, he thinks that is an illusion, but he is okay with it. The figure says if that is not an illusion, so Eian replies that he needs to test it further to see if it’s real.

    Eian thought that it’s okay if the figure in front of him will cause his death because she looks like Kynemia. Eian hugs her then realizes that she is the real Kynemia from her response. Kynemia tells him that she was wrapped there. Eian had read information about ancient relics drawn to each other. He still feels his magic power constantly flow out. Now he feels afraid that something will happen to Kynemia if he can’t protect her.

    Dark Knight defeated Erixina then tells Frost about Erixina’s deal with Marquis Heling and Eian’s situation. As he doesn’t know any way to help Eian, Shen Tian tells him to inform Wolfman that Rikasha (Eian) is trapped on the 10th floor. Everyone who knew this fact for the first time was surprised. Shen Tian reminds them about Eian’s magic power that they saw. That will be a surprise if someone other than Lord of Magic Tower or Rikasha have that much power. Forst tries to contact Wolfman while Dark Knights look for another way to the 10th floor. Shen Tian thinks that Eian won’t die while waiting for Wolfman.
