Ophelia left for the door as soon as she finished getting dressed in a long, light-weight sky blue gown. After taking a shower, she anticipated seeing Nikolai or Pain in the room, but all she saw was the dress, which was neatly

folded on the bed. 1

As soon as she flung open the door, she gasped in shock to see a man standing there wearing a quite serious expression. His brown eyes caught her attention, and she blinked before noticing how big he was. A warrior’s

“Bring me to the training ground then.” She muttered and she walked past him. She hadn’t trained in such a long time.

Despite being astounded by what she said, Artem followed her and soon

found himself at her front, guiding the way.

When Ophelia entered the corridor supported by pillars, she was somewhat astounded. She was in this location with the phoenix Eleanor on the Luna ball night. In some ways, that memory was bittersweet.

Ophelia sighed and walked further down the corridor, her eyes lingering on the walls. Despite its pristine beauty and sturdy construction, this castle was far more unnerving than the one in Fireria. It seemed to be warning her that she didn’t belong there since it was filled with secrets, wickedness, and

he dismounted the stairway out of curiosity. Artem closely trailed behind. Danil Novikov, who was visibly perspiring and had most of his tousled, dark hair sticking to his face, was revealed. His eyes had taken on their blue wolf like form, and his sleeveless black shirt, which revealed his muscular arms and glistened with sweat, stuck to his body with each strike he delivered to the opponent. His opponent was rather unsettlingly large, chiseled and was shirtless.

Along with Viktor Novikov, who was shocked to see Ophelia in the training ground, and Yulia Novikov, who was sitting on a fence holding a dish of cake and cheering, there were numerous other males in attendance.

Ophelia yanked her gaze away from Viktor and toward Danil, who was absorbed in his current battle. A physical altercation. Danil didn’t even appear to react as his opponent gave him a direct hit to the gut. Instead, he looked irritated, as if he had underestimated the length of the struggle. He grunted like a beast, leaped on the man, clamped his knees around his neck, and tensed his face as a snap from the man’s neck was audible.

The man fell to his knees, and Ophelia cocked her head. Before his body hit

Artem ran to her in a hurry. “I don’t think that…”

“I can handle myself, don’t you worry,” She interrupted him before he could finish his words. Nikolai wouldn’t want her to train, she was still recovering. Artem took a step back, maintaining his eyes on Ophelia despite the fact that he was aware of her full recovery. She sighed, and he turned away.

“Are you going to use a weapon?” Suddenly, Viktor enquired.
