Chapter 59: Chapter 59 - Getting Dragon's Egg
"I love you too, Zeph,"
Thalia replied, her teary eyes fixed on the boy she had fallen deeply for. Even though her intuition whispered about something amiss, she didn't care. She just wanted him.
After losing her brother, she had been traumatized for many days until her father taught her how to survive. He explained the importance of rising above their family's status, just as he had. In a matter of days, she became the Viscount's heir, burdened with responsibilities.
She always tried to act mature, even when her father arranged her marriage with someone famous for his tantrums and slight weight. She accepted her fate but never let it deter her from her path of achieving a high-ranking title.
But now, she was distracted. She had become entangled in something she never wanted to be a part of—love. In this moment, she felt happiness unlike any other. For her, it was as if she didn't have to choose between status and love anymore; she could have both. It didn't matter now.
"Zeph," she called out, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, Thalia?" he responded.
"I'm really happy, Zeph. If you want something, then..." She hesitated, embarrassed to complete her sentence, but she wanted him to express what she could never put into words.
"Not yet, Thalia. Let's first complete our first year. Then we can become a big family," Zeph replied with a chuckle.
"Huh? A big family?" Thalia was puzzled by his words.
"I mean, we'll start our own family. I think it's getting late. Why don't we head back?" Zeph suggested as he looked towards the sky.

They, Unaware of the people who were watching their conversation,
Adriannel couldn't help but chuckle at the things they had noticed, which Thalia remained unaware of.
"Did you really ask him to take care of Valeriana?" Adriannel inquired.
"I... now I think, I indeed made a mistake," Deventhia replied, her eyes narrowing slightly and a faint frown forming on her face as she spoke.
"It's okay, you have at least a year now," he replied with a slight laugh, glancing towards Deventhia, who seemed to be looking at the boy.
"Deventhia, don't use that on the boy. He is marked by 'Evangeline,'" Professor Adriannel said with seriousness in his voice. Deventhia, upon hearing this, widened her eyes briefly before relaxing and then glanced at the boy with a faint smile.
"Interesting. What did she find in that boy? and what's that Adriannel, did you gave him that ring" This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Upon looking carefully Deventhia saw a ring in the boy's hand that made her recall some past memories.
"...."
"So, you blame everything on Evangeline rather than accepting that you are also interested in the boy," Deventhia couldn't help but chuckle.
"Indeed, I'm not the only one intrigued by the boy," Adriannel remarked, his tone holding a hint of amusement. "Isn't that right, Professor Deventhia? Otherwise, why would you have prevented me from taking that egg?" He recalled how she had thwarted his attempt to claim the egg, using a flimsy excuse to let it remain with him

<Zeph's POV>
Another typical day began, with the added excitement of Professor's planned trip to the forest. I got ready and made my way to the classroom.
Once in the Black Forest, I couldn't help but steal glances at Thalia. She seemed uneasy, possibly due to something that had happened here before.
To ensure our plans didn't get canceled, I held her hand, silently assuring her that we'd be okay.
Eventually, I managed to slip away from the group and reached the designated location.
Thalia had been stubborn about not letting me go, so I had to make a promise to ease her concerns.
At the spot, I saw that the forest had miraculously healed itself, with lush trees and weeds. I focused on a particular spot, cleared away the overgrowth, and retrieved the mysterious egg.
Its pattern and structure were both tough and warm. I carefully placed it inside my ring and rejoined the group, where the professor was shooting me death glares. I quickly bowed ninety degrees and joined them for the practical session, egg safely secured.

As the moonlight made its way in a room where a golden eyes boy was giving his mana to a egg that seemed to be like endless pit but the boy was also like a ocean himself.
"Its more hungry than Lily"
Zeph said as he looked towards the egg that seemed it was hungry from decades and now it got its fill, unaware they the egg was soon prepared to hatched that's why it was this much hungry, zeph continued his motherly duties
"oh, it seems you are full, I am also quite tired"
zeph said to egg as he took bed and got into sleep ina while.

*crack*
A sound of something cracking is resounded in silent room.

<Zeph's POV>
Morning arrived with all the enthusiasm of a grumpy turtle, and I managed to haul myself to the bathroom, feeling like gravity had a personal vendetta against me.
Today, I felt inexplicably heavy, as if I'd somehow gained weight overnight.
After a quick bath, I glanced into the mirror, only to be met by the sight of two shiny amethyst eyes gleaming atop my head.
My hazy morning brain could only muster one thought: "Did I somehow mutate overnight or something?"
