Moreover, the setting wasn’t appropriate, and the improvements required scientific explanations, making verbal delivery difficult. She could derive these solutions by combining the books she read at Bastia Castle with modern technology.5adbfcca0dcb1bbb

As expected of the protagonist, Tanasis’ appearance was striking. His flawless, jade-like skin enhanced his already dazzling beauty. His slightly wavy silver hair shimmered mysteriously. It was long enough to cover his nape, and interestingly, only the side locks were grown out, which might have looked strange on someone else—but on him, it gave him a mystical, fairy-like air.3c4c8c65285815b8
