Chapter 73: Your Mother Called Me

She couldn’t believe she almost forgot. The winter often brought severe weather with it and many of the villagers lacked the experience and expertise to traverse questionable conditions on the water to get to the islands. The test island would be fine; the residents there had adequate water, shelter, storage for food, as well as a place to coo...

Aila's Ramblings - Prepare to Binge Read on the 1st

Votes are in and so I will be posting the chapters for the beginning of March all at once on the 1st.

I DID check for cliffhangers.

Chapter Release Schedule - Early March ONLY

Chapter 72: Hiding Like We’re Criminals

β€œIf we get into a fight, I want Hart.”

β€œSonia, no.” Tori closed her eyes and took a deep breath. β€œWe’re not going to get into a fight.” Even if it’s outside of school, I’m sure instigating a brawl, especially with those people, will get us in trouble, if not expelled and that is the last thing I need right no...

It must’ve been the muffled sound of the horses pulling the large carriage or perhaps the slight creak of the wood, but Tori tilted her head and rubbed her ear. She was sure she heard incorrectly.

β€œWhat?” She furrowed her brows and squinted at Axton, who was seated on the bench across from her, Ilyana, and Nanny Rey.

This was not the birthday dinner that Tori thought they would be having when she asked Axton if he wanted anything to eat for his birthday.  She had been hesitant to ask, as they were eating dinner at one of the poshest restaurants in the empire.  Axton told her that he would settle for a frozen strawberry dessert and would like to pla...

Aila's Experiment - Discord

Today is 2/9/22.  This invite link will work for 7 days (or at least it should).

So, I've had this since December and have gone back and forth on using it.  I am very new to it and have little time to experiment, but since everyone seems to really want a discord, let's give this a go and see how this works.

Chapter 69: Deal With Her Mano a Mano

After having so many first years around the previous week, it felt much quieter now, when they were on their excursion. The upperclassmen and those in her class were able to focus on their training sets without having to stop and instruct the first years. Captain Messer was having a good spar with GG while Master McDouglass watched and shouted f...

Chapter 68: Where Do You Get the Audacity

It was a good idea to keep their supplies from the excursion together. Although Uncle Maurizo took some to Alpine Valley and the twins had brought their sleeping bags and tent when they visited the delta, the items were all returned to storage at Auntie Lucia’s. It made it an easy matter to gather all the items to bring to LycΓ©e for the Sword...

β€œYou’re not wrong,” Tori said as she lowered her trembling hands. The folded sheet clenched in it was held firm. β€œMost students wouldn’t spend this much.

Chapter 66: It’s as If He Doesn’t Want to Go Home

The comcry kept pulsing, but Instructor Ignatius didn't answer. Tori let out a little grumble and tried to quell her excitement. To be fair to Instructor Ignatius, he was either assisting with the arrival of the first-year students or working on a lesson plan. Tori slid her finger across the crystal and debated on calling Master Ramos.

Tori froze. She looked up from her drink and stared at JP. β€œHow much money?”

There was a specific kitchen that prepared all the food for hired workers, imperial knights, and volunteers from UniversitΓ©.

Until Nanny Rey returned, the cooks at the staff kitchen, who were villagers Tori hired, would also prepare their ...

Chapter 62: We Cannot Let Him Become Distracted

β€œMatthieu-Philippe.” Tori thought the General looked like Piers, but as he greeted the Emperor in a surprisingly annoyed, if not cold, voice, she thought he sounded more like Sebastian and Kasen when they talked to Piers.

Maybe it’s an older brother thing?  Tori wrinkled her nose a bit. Perhaps the General also thought ...

Chapter 60: Don't Listen to His Negativity

Just because she was nice to people did not mean she was seducing them.

Tori had huffed that she was not seducing Piers, or anyone for that matter, but her brother just looked at her with concer...

She needed to defuse the situation at once, and without showing any favoritism towards Pier...
