    “Osborne, what’s this special thing you’ve got?”


    Osborne strolled over, gently taking her hand in his. “You’ll find out if youe with me.”


    He cast a brief nce at Donna, carefully choosing not to divulge the truth.


    It was best for him to keep Orion’s death from Donna; it wasn’t that Osborne didn’t trust her, but


    some things were better kept under wraps.


    Donna studied the two of them, her expression slightly clouded.


    These two had been getting boldertely, unting their growing closeness right in front of her. It


    felt as though they werepletely disregarding her


    presence.


    But ultimately, Donna said, “rissa, you go on with him. Osborne, just remember our agreement.


    Your feelings for rissa are your business, but until you get the blessing of the Wise Order of the


    Radcliffe family, you must not cross the line!”


    At her words, rissa’s face flushed deep crimson.


    “Aunt Donna, what are you saying?”


    Osborne chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. “Don’t worry, Ms. Donna Radcliffe. I know the drill.”


    With that, he took rissa’s hand and led her away.


    Donna sighed, her voice tinged with resignation, “What a tumultuous time! Apollo’s gone, but now


    more suitors are flocking to the Radcliffe family, all wanting to tie the knot with rissa. Even Orion


    had set his sights on her, and the Lark family is rolling out a level two ancient magic weapon to


    sweeten the deal.”


    “I wonder who Dad will ultimately choose for rissa. Whatever happens, it won’t be Osborne.”


    She recognized the change in rissa; since forming a bond with Osborne, rissa seemed


    happier, and her smile was brighter.


    Deep down, Donna wished rissa could marry someone she loved.


    Yet, Donna knew that decisiony far beyond their control–ultimately, it was up to Eugen and the


    Wise Order of the Radcliffe family.


    As she mulled it over, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Osborne didn’t stand a chance.


    Suitors chasing rissa were far more qualified than he was.


    “Here’s hoping when the timees, you won’t be too heartbroken, rissa,” She muttered.


    Meanwhile, Osborne was leading rissa to his room.


    “Osborne, what’s the deal? Why have you brought me to your room? You… you wouldn’t be


    thinking of doing something inappropriate, would you?” rissa stammered, her cheeks pink.


    Osborne chuckled.


    “What are you imagining? I’m here to show you something special, something I can’t let anyone


    else see.”


    With that, he swung the door open.


    After hesitating for a moment, rissa ultimately stepped inside.


    Her breath caught as she gazed upon the enormous iron chest that sat in the center of the room,


    her eyes widening in disbelief.


    “Osborne! How is this even here? Orion took it with him!”


    Suddenly, a realization struck her, and her astonishment was palpable.


    “Wait… did you…”


    Osborne smiled softly, responding with gentle confidence, “rissa, Orion won’t be bothering you


    anymore. He won’t be trying to woo you at the Radcliffe Estate either.”


    “You… you killed him?” rissa whispered, the disbelief evident in her wide


    eyes.

    ???????


    “Just keep this between us,” Osborne said, a serious look crossing his face.


    rissa nodded vigorously, her gaze now fixed on the chest. With a mix of eagerness and


    apprehension, she stepped closer, reaching out to lift the lid.


    When it opened, the breathtaking statue of the Sacred Sorceress was revealed.


    She stood there, captivated, as though she had stepped into a trance. Curiosity overwhelmed her.


    Without thinking, she extended her hand, touching the cool stone of the statue.


    Osborne didn’t stop her. Having touched the statue himself, he knew it wasn’t dangerous.


    But the moment rissa touched the statue, something extraordinary happened. A strange, dual–


    toned light erupted from the statue–half pure white, half eerie ck.


    At the same time, rissa herself was enveloped in the same bizarre radiance.


    Osborne’s face turned ashen with shock. Fearing for rissa’s safety, he rushed forward to pull her


    away.


    But in an instant, a powerful force repelled him, flinging him back so he couldn’t get near rissa.


    Stunned and deeply concerned, Osborne watched in rm.


    “Osborne, don’te any closer. I’m fine!” rissa’s voice rang out suddenly.


    As Osborne looked on, a pair of ck–light wings emerged behind rissa.


    He recognized them instantly–these were the same wings that had appeared when rissa had


    been attacked by werewolves, saving her by dispatching them with a fierce st.


    Now, those ck wings were reappearing, absorbing the light radiating from the statue.


    The wings began to shift, half turning a brilliant white, half remaining pitch ck.


    At this moment, rissa and the statue appeared almost identical.


    “What on earth is happening?”


    Osborne was in utter disbelief. He could sense a profound change urring within rissa as the


    power from the statue was being absorbed into her body.


    The force around her was intensifying rapidly, growing so overwhelming that Osborne felt his heart


    race.


    The intensity of this energy was even greater than that of ss B+ Orion.
