Release date for vol 6 is fast approaching and they're crunched for time, so for the last loose chapter of vol 6, they didn't even have a 1 month exclusive period for cmoa, they just released it to all platforms at the same time.

Vol 6 is set to be released on the 10th next month if you missed my announcement last release.
There's also the 2nd drama cd releasing at the same time and promotional snippets of the main characters have been released on their youtube channel here with links here:
Elaine:

Saltis:

Lloyd:

I have my hands full atm so I have no time to translate these(does anyone even wait for my subbed promo snippets seriously?) so these are the original links from the publisher. Do give them a like to bump their algorithm.

They're the all new casts for the 2nd drama cd.

If he cares that much, he should be getting ready to head back and uncover the rest of the truth

Nephew in name. They aren't even blood related, Elaine was adopted if I remember correctly. Hell, they probably already removed her name from the family registry due to the royal family faking and pinning the crime of stealing Saltis on her (citation needed, maybe I shall reread to correct this part if wrong).

Is there any way to read the novel after the author deleted it? The story is going so slow.

It's been so long since i started reading this that i thought they were actual sisters.

I really like this story and I’m genuinely intrigued in the world building/magic-system it presents, but I really gotta let these chapters pile up 😩😅

i guess that mc didn't became saltis master because she doesn't have a good sense of self, always working for other because of love or something similar, other reason might be because she doesn't have the heart of a hero anyway i really hope that she become the master instead of ml, this story kind of piss me off but the world building is good so i get kind of curious to see how this will unfold

I’ve been thinking about this for a while aren’t they technically related? Why is the author making them pursue a romance? Kinda?

So this is the shoujo equivalent of those "Kicked out of the party because I'm XYZ but actually I'm OP and now I'm living with this hot babe half my age" stories.

I like slow burns... but this slow will have nothing cooked by the end. (meaning, if you have some spoilers please)

...sorry, got bored and started to write, so...

TLDR: Pretty boy is dumb so i hope sword does not accept him and i already have a version on how this should end and it wont be like that so i´m pre-angry for when i know the true end.

I would really like that sword to either accepts MC as the master or accepts no one, i know pretty boy has no fault in all that happened to MC, but so far, they haven´t given any proof that the dude is understanding anything or connecting any dots or at the very least, that he is avoiding the truth. I'm no master detective but even I can know by now because:

  • The kingdom's version of the story is clearly a lie
  • She is particularly angry at him (when miasma takes over), whom she has already said that looks just like his magic hating father, that is married to this mentally blinded woman that is related (in name only, but still) to the MC
  • Even the sword itself tells him like "dude!, you kind of have all the clues by now"

If i where the sword i wouldn´t acknowledge him just in grounds of his incredibly dense brain

By now is not even karmic retribution, like, what is going to happen?. The sister will loose her mind when she knows the truth?, the other dude will say "sure i asked her, but she said yes, is not like i pushed her in to the void or whatever", the kingdom will say "for the greater good and stuff", the parents may show remorse i guess?.

You know what could be like a good climax?, the sword is the antagonist!, let me explain.

Saltis never had pity on MC, she was destined to be the new master all along, but life (and unrequited love) grinded her resolve and in the end she sacrificed herself for the wrong reasons, they went with her because she was always their master, but also they knew that the second she comes back, the kingdom will label her as a bad omen, an enemy, and probably may even execute her, Saltis knows that she may even agree the be executed in her current mental state. The sword is just there alone with their master until one of two things happen, either she dies or she acquires enough self-worth to dismiss everyone and live by her own will. The sword is an antagonist, but not a bad one... but if we add a bit of the "sins of the father" in to the mix, Saltis may harbor hatred towards the family of the one that pushed their master in to the void, including the pretty boy that is once again undermining MC´s resolve (according to the sword´s idea of what that should be), so when pretty boy tries to take her back, the sword lashes out and tries to kill him, ironically giving MC the resolve needed to become the rightful master of Saltis. They go back, tears and apologies, kiss (she got a mix of her sister and the one she loved in one younger pakage... sound bad, but this is manga, the amount of "this random girl i adopted is now my wife" type of stories, make me think this is not that bad in comparison), the end.
