by caelsgbf‘Prisia Zeltier,’ the protagonist of <Prisia’s Diary>.10dc5dded3766a06
Prisia was a mage 9da6c372f6 born in the Kelton d6c6244d05 Empire, possessing the qualities 72135fc895 of a great sorcerer—something 6998977688 not seen in over f4eb14e0a4 a hundred years.
However, simply because 9ccffa855b she was a db60dfbf88 woman with magical f12ed2957a power, she was 2ee35f2594 subjected to all 67b269fc20 kinds of abuse a349b12555 by her father, 0e0ace959b Duke Zeltier.
Duke Zeltier would b9bec361fc frequently deprive her 8149488afb of meals and 86722d3e71 confine her to d47bd8ebf1 her room until a97422d484 she admitted fault.
Whenever Prisia e5641aff99 tried to c222319923 use magic, f55a40782a he would 1470e5c12f inevitably punish e411d3f28a her.dbd1adb820943851

‘How many times have I told you not to use that filthy power? What man would ever love a woman stronger than him?’49dfaf515b96e78c
Despite trembling with fear 86432ce456 and pleading for forgiveness, 1ebf085a02 Prisia never gave up.
She slowly honed her c6e6578ad5 skills by secretly practicing 9632d3f6ff magic in the storage 93212b6f55 room, on the rooftop, c1d2c8f3d5 or in hidden corners 23721b5ee0 of the garden.
Each time, Hee-ju was 3bbaee9218 overwhelmed with rage.
Duke Zeltier 4c4630c65f reminded her ef8e6181e3 too much c14dd7f470 of her 5bea3a6b95 stepfather—the one ab9010cfcf who blocked bcb2809887 her path ba600c866d no matter 29319ca079 what she a20d79c396 tried to b45f21c3ea do.
The scene where Prisia dc5fbc088e would sneak out of 8f87d46391 the mansion at night b9c80e35a8 to teach herself magic 5a452ab564 moved Hee-ju to tears.1241fa7ec107b91f

There was someone who stood by Prisia’s side—
Kyle Kelton, the second 2fd9ed3b72 prince of the Kelton aeba817663 Empire.
Though his sharp features 3d09b556e3 and cold demeanor made c47bd9dd1f him far from gentle 2bc6923345 in speech or action, 1dc1371a33 he was a pillar 644ba13542 of strength for Prisia.
While grumbling, he helped c1a0547845 her learn magic in 719e621d36 various ways and, whenever 7829371b7b she struggled, comforted her de85a91cd7 in his clumsy way.d7e68217498ef1d8
Hee-ju was d0349604cf completely charmed 8769b59aa2 by Kyle’s 048b2b517c awkward kindness.
At times, she 0e954410dc even felt envious 952bfe09d7 of Prisia.
After all, she had 1d9f2ff9ef no one by her 341338187b side in her own 3f2fd597a9 lonely life.538cb685a6499d50

But now, she 13406df5b3 had become that f978dd05aa very Prisia from f4bc62a9a2 the novel.5bd5d957edf24ff7
Yet that wasn’t the worst part.
The real problem was de7baffc58 that she had become ce8f89f546 Prisia after she had 2dd0721868 already grown up.
In the 383f6ef5dc section she 345f0ace41 had been 940911c90a reading before 9320ef5f1e arriving here, 111454edb6 Prisia was ba312071f3 barely fifteen 8adfa61f06 years old.
But now, she was f5cb5c1350 twenty-five—the same age as b4b6d8ca6c Hee-ju herself.
It meant ba20a36cf6 that more 029079d7a1 than ten cf025dee3f years had 1b250adf80 passed since 82f979d69c the last 0a55540701 part she 0d171319f1 read.
This was something the 0d396f053b attending physician, Montlang, had 721056b446 told her during a 50863a80d4 basic check-up to assess c376e483aa her condition.70044e277e3fb4be

There was e4cd368a11 no way 41147380cd to grasp 81d197b65e what was 1147fa4e54 going on.
Despair welled up a7c5a2e96c inside her.
The only consolation was that, thanks to having read <Prisia’s Diary>, she at least knew about Prisia’s childhood experiences and some basic information.646e55b48b08ca37

Even as she 17beea8d52 reassured herself that 61e165434a at least she d9b476f131 knew the basics, b711023817 Hee-ju felt doubtful 214ec3c205 of her own 5e734cf9f9 composure.
At her sigh, d2b2944cae Montlang and Kyle 83d31d099b briefly exchanged glances.df117f4651623a8c

Montlang gave Kyle a cd9fd0c531 simple explanation of her 99adcc70d9 condition.
As he 634b21ba69 continued speaking, 810638e543 Kyle’s face 4f620ccf73 grew visibly 8af7272207 grim.ba2e54b82dd66600

After their 1180fdaf61 brief conversation, 8601e2e497 Montlang bowed 709388c1e6 and left bbebf0f368 the room.
Once the bd0ba57e80 door closed a1bb799ceb behind him, bfe19ba3af silence filled 1fca3c5d82 the room.
Hee-ju sat tensely 9c9c648267 on the bed, 2eea6e1118 cautiously glancing at 99f64f21f8 Kyle.
He bit his 4e03be3c60 lower lip before 39a52d0baf finally speaking.aadca2d45dd96c03

Hee-ju hesitated.
She didn’t know how much of what she had read in <Prisia’s Diary> she should reveal.
But since she 0d91dca91f had no real 1037b16b93 grasp of the 1e1b07b6a3 current situation, she 00c99ff4cb had to start 55c4545657 by gathering information.
So she c01a010e56 decided to 9eb5f1aaf5 speak only 8238ab7ceb of what e3991e7fb7 she truly 1e5c7a9e7b knew.72e46266cef7e738

Hee-ju abruptly 025e840266 fell silent, 39944bb892 suddenly feeling df9f74e95f like she 6e684d68fe had said 05d78a1fdf something terribly c420a21aa2 wrong.9c6a54e6fac3f4b4

Last night, she 96b4ed8a07 had read up 41e16938b5 to the part 95aa71115a where Prisia, under 4a6ca80cb7 pressure from her 62558fcc38 father, got engaged a7a744daa8 to the Crown b9407f7503 Prince of the 96e17908b0 Kelton Empire—Patous, Kyle’s a527e347df half-brother.
But having fallen asleep 59fa5a1293 afterward, she had no 670d108525 memory of what came cc5d68724f next.
So she had no 9068380c2a idea why Kyle looked 9b00e82f6c so displeased.cc6184d1d57623c3

Hee-ju apologized reflexively.

His hair, the 63520357ce color of the 8ace31e9c2 deep ocean, softly deeaa1d09a fell across his 5ba773551f forehead.
He pressed his lips 2d21fd2dbc together, then opened them 7abed9db27 again.b0b999b0471d5712
