As a person that has everything, the only thing that she cannot fully control is her life.

As a princess of a kingdom known for producing high-level mages and even being born as a rare genius of Castillo, Emmersette did not lack anything. May it be riches, power, or even affection but these things comes with a price.

Many people come for her life.

Kaya hindi na kataka-taka kung isang araw ay halos muntikan ng mamatay si Emmersette mula sa mga taong may kagustuhan na ma take advantage ang posisyon niya sa kanilang kingdom.

And just like any typical story, it was Steven who save her life.

As a Castillo who never forgets favor, Emmersette becomes indebted to Steven.

As a royalty, the price for saving her is huge. 

And nothing is more beneficial to give as a reward for saving her life other than her loyalty as a mage.

And that is how Emmersette becomes connected to Steven's life.

For the first five years of knowing Steven, she does not have that many chances to show her loyalty to Steven as Steven did not really allow her to be close to him.

Ganunpaman, sa limang taon na iyon ay hindi na lamang dahil sa niligtas siya ni Steven ang dahilan para i-alay nito ang kanyang paglilikod kundi narin dahil sa mas nakilala niya si Steven. 

During those years, she saw Steven's dedication to his goal, his pure and sincere care to the people that deserve it, and the decisiveness of his decision. More importantly, she saw how coolheaded Steven is but never forgets to be compassionate to everything.

She believes that Steven deserves her loyalty more than anyone else in this world.

That is why when she saw Steven in the academy, Emmersette was so happy to be able to have a chance to serve him, and yet only then did she realize that she wants more than just being his subordinate to Steven.

She does not only want to serve him but to also become his person.

To become his special person.

However, after spending more time with him during Steven's stay in the academy, Emmersette realizes how naïve she is. 

She realized that Steven is more far out of reach.

She realized that she never really know the real Steven nor she can understand him fully.

And yet how---?

Emmersette then looked at his expression of Steven while Lysithea is giving her gift to him.

Although she does not know what they are talking about but looking at his expression of Steven, Emmersette knew that although Steven looked surprised, Steven also looked pleased. 

How can you make Steven do that expression?

How can you make it look like you understand Steven?

Looking at the excited Lysithea while talking to Steven, Emmersette cannot help but talk to the two men in front of her.

"Did she--- made those for Steven?" 

Emmersette looked at AQing who is not even giving her a glance, Emmersette then moves her gaze to Francis, she would never expect an answer from AQing.

That man is quiet as stone if he is not talking to Lysithea, as if aside from Lysithea everyone is like an air for him.
