Tearing Sanctuary

Chapter 57: Mana Control

I held my breath when I felt that harmful force once again. Vernon did nothing but stand there with his eyes looking normal as ever, he didn’t even seem to focus intensely. This was surprising, he just emanated mana like it was nothing.

I stood firmly from where I stood while Vernon was in front of me. Mera on the oth...

Chapter 56: Gaps in Memory

I looked at Vernon first, then shifted to Mera. Mera had experience, so she might be useful.

Vernon seemed to have understood what I wanted.

“Your highness, I take it that you intend to ask us for assistance?”

“Indeed.”

“... Hm. I did not expect you to have difficulties in learning to control...

Some Update

Hello! I am here to tell you guys that I will be making the schedule of chapter updates to every 3 or 4 days (Mostly gonna be three) after the latest update.

I would have preferred to update every one day or two, but sadly I can't. My school assignments are standing in my way. Assignmen...

Chapter 55: Need Some Help

Currently I am back at the library all alone. Once again, my parents got rid of everyone that should be stationed in the library. I felt thankful since I wouldn’t want people always looking at me while I am training.

Come on, with my appearance who would put all girls to shame, I sure am to invite a lot of attention.<...

Chapter 54: Bothersome Emotion

Yesterday was a hard day. Not often I get to say that genuinely from the depths of my heart. Sure it was a challenging day since I struggled at the very first steps of learning magic. But, that was not the reason as to why I think why it was a hard day.

It was hard because it was emotionally hard for me. Reason being wa...

Chapter 53: Wisterian Religious Order (Part 4)

They have arrived at the Serenity and Compassion Cathedral. There were two towers embedded by the corners at the front. It had white walls and several glass windows with frames made up of gold. On the walls were statues of both the Lord and Lady.

The three storey building was lit up on the outside not by flames, but rat...

Chapter 52: Wisterian Religious Order (Part 3)

Her words were short and somewhat cold. But Tina was already used to this.

“Sister, it isn’t all that long still.”

“Tina, all those who belong to the main cathedral are being called. And I am personally ordered to bring you back.”

“B-But—”

“Why are you hesitating? Do not forget your d...

Chapter 51: Wisterian Religious Order (Part 2)

It was a fair inn, not too expensive, and not too cheap. Therefore, the services offered were to their satisfaction.

Tina and the others went to the second floor. She and Anita entered a room separate from the men.

Anita heaved a long sigh.

“I’m exhaaausted.”

“Don’t collapse on the bed now, y...

Chapter 50: Wisterian Religious Order (Part 1)

It was nearing sunset, and a group of exhausted and dirty adventurers walked the streets. A member of this group was a priestess who wore a white garb, that was smeared by dirt because of the encounter in their commission.

She was a young girl around her mid teens. She had average length black hair and dark purple eyes ...

Chapter 49: Mother's Love (Part 2)

My mother poked my cheeks.

“So, what troubles you?”

“.... Um, it’s actually about mana.”

That was not precisely what was troubling me. But she didn’t need to learn the truth. Plus, I was truly struggling on what I told her.

“What do you mean?”

“I was trying to exert mana, but no...

Chapter 48: Mother's Love (Part 1)

I turned towards the source of the voice and saw a woman with silver hair. It was my mother. She looked at me with a faint smile.

“Mother.”

I sat up straight immediately with a happy smile, showing my emotion when I saw her.

“You look troubled,” she said with a puzzled expression as she walked closer...

Chapter 47: Basics of Magic (Part 2)

But still, even though they have instincts in magic, this body, Estelia, was still born in this world. Therefore, this body was naturally linked to magic and mana. This didn’t mean I would give up.

How stupid do you think giving up at first try? I’ll be the biggest idiot in the world if I did.

“Vernon, any t...

Chapter 46: Basics of Magic (Part 1)

The book in my hands began by explaining what magic was. It was said to be miracles granted by the gods through giving their powers to the world. And what they gave unto the world and blessed unto its creatures was mana, the fuel of the miracle called magic.

All creatures who walk in this world have mana, whether they b...

Chapter 45: The Royal Library (Part 3)

I approached the book bound in chains. It had a grey with silvery colored hard cover, and was as thick as a big dictionary found in my old world. I knew of this special book from Estelia’s memories.

A very important book, the Royal Grimoire. A book only to be opened and read by royalty. And this book was displayed at ...

Chapter 44: The Royal Library (Part 2)

“So I take it is fine to walk around the library alone, yes?”

I asked Vernon that somewhat strange question. Well, I guess that would be a fine question since he was supposed to guard me. However, I can work more efficiently here if I were to go alone, besides, I have something to check out.

Furthermore, it wa...

Chapter 43: The Royal Library (Part 1)

I plan to strap my weapons on my thighs as usual, no way I’m leaving without a weapon. How miserable it would be if I died a miserable death… Pathetic, didn’t even get to fight for dear life or having my last stand.

I wore a light yet elegant dress of violet after bathing, a nice scent emanating from my beautiful ...

Chapter 42: Allie Jelimis

Allie Jelimis, one of the cooks in the palace kitchen, a girl who no longer had a home. She was young back then, her family lived in a small ranch, away from civilization. In fact, their family was the only one there.

No other villagers, no neighbors, it was only them and their ranch. On their small field planted kinds ...

I am now temporarily free from Assignments (Lol)

I'm back! Wew. The Assignments counter had finally hit ZERO. What a relief! Though it will only be a temporary one. But I am relieved of it nonetheless.

After a few days, I aim to have a daily streak of updates after I have written chapters to stockpile hehehe.

Anyways, sorry for keeping you guys waiting.

Chapter 41: Mera's Worry

I entered the dining room. I stopped my stride for a moment when I saw my parents. I peered around at the… somewhat pitiful atmosphere oozing around the room.

My mother carefully massaged her eyes with her palm, she appeared to be tired. While Father seemed to be in deep thought, appearing to be spacing out.

Chapter 40: I will be the Judge

Around noon, I left my brother on his own to eat lunch. He decided to eat later to finish a part of his work, so I went ahead. Oddly though, I was the only one who ate today during lunch. I was alone on the table.

Both my parents were nowhere to be found. It seems all my family members were busy. I must have looked mise...

Chapter 39: Must be in Control

I grabbed a few papers again and began scanning them. What I was focusing on were papers about the knights, they held more significance than the papers of commoners. Nobles were people with power and influence after all.

“Ah…”

I got a paper which had information about Alan Welford, as well as his brother. It...

Chapter 38: Revealing the Hidden

We went back to the third floor since it was where my brother’s office was situated. My reason for visiting him? I just wanna check out what he was up to.

He was quite warm in his welcome, I expected he would be thrilled by my visit, but I didn’t expect he would suddenly squeeze my adorable cheeks. He was overly hap...

Chapter 37: For his Sister in Peril

On his desk, Estevan sighed as he leaned his back on his chair. Piles of paper on his table separated from done and not. They were the list of normal palace soldiers, names, backgrounds, age, and so on. Basically commoners. There were a lot of them and he needed to study each and every one of them.

It was still early in...

Chapter 36: Cake and Cooks

Sometime later, I decided it was time to do some scouting. Before going out, I told Mera to keep what we conversed about a secret.

We went outside the room, and there we saw Vernon on the opposite wall of our room. What a respectful old man, he might convince me he’s no traitor at any point! Hehe. That aside, he was j...

Chapter 35: Suspicions

After finishing our breakfast, my father immediately spoke.

“Estelia, if you’re planning to leave your room, have a personal guard always with you.”

Oh? Have they found someone trustworthy?

I nodded my head.

“Vernon,” he called out.

Just then, a manservant wearing the usual mal...

Chapter 34: Beginning of the Hunt

Last night, during dinner, everyone was so tense that I found it hard to talk with them. It seems that my reliable brother had delivered the news. That said, trapped in my room I was, I never uncovered what actions they exactly took.

However, if I were to guess, they must be making sure that everyone in the palace was t...

Just a short notice. About Exclusive Bonus Chapters.

Chapters with .5 on them, those are the exclusive bonus chapters. Well, just so you guys know, but I guess it was already apparent...

And that's just about it... maybe the reason I wrote this is because maybe you would get confused as to why those chapters are not in the other site.

Chapter 33: Lady of Serenity & Deity of Blood

Estevan immediately went to his father after bringing his sister to her room. His blood was in a rush because of everything his sister told him. Everything was so sudden, it could have put Estelia in harm's way for all he knows.

From what he heard, this was a matter so severe that he couldn’t sit idly by. His father, ...

Chapter 32: Put to Good Use

“You came back!”

The little girl from the flower shop from before immediately said to me happily when she recognized who I was. Her eyes so innocent gazed at me. Her broad smile testified even more the positive emotion she was feeling.

I could hear a faint chuckle from my brother behind me.

I ignored him...

Chapter 31: The Princess' Plans

I made my way back to the plaza as I pondered on what I’ll be doing from this moment forward. I searched for my brother, but he was nowhere to be found. I sighed, somehow I felt tired.

There was a spot outside of the pavement, a grassy spot, plausible to sit at. I wanted to sit down for a while, so I walked over and p...
