In the next chapter

Spoiler!

Deborah was surprised to meet Isidor, who she had been avoiding. She tried to act calm and distant, but Isidor quickly caught up with her. He told her that he had come specifically to see her because she had stopped attending club and group activities. He was worried that she might be sick. Deborah felt guilty because she knew he was genuinely concerned about her. When Isidor noticed that her ears were red, he thought she might have a fever. Deborah awkwardly blamed it on the cold weather, even though it was not very cold. Isidor then suggested they go drink some warm tea together. Deborah suspected he might be trying to remind her of a previous incident between them, which made her nervous. When he offered his hand, she became flustered and quickly agreed to go for tea instead. As they walked through the city, many people stared at them. Isidor was handsome and attracted attention wherever he went, but Deborah noticed that people were also looking at her in surprise because she was with him. Isidor seemed amused by the attention and even joked about carrying her if she got tired. Deborah worried that people would misunderstand their relationship and think strange things about them.

The two eventually arrived at an elegant tea house. Isidor carefully chose a tea that would help soothe Deborah’s throat because he knew she had been giving many lectures recently. Deborah was touched that he paid attention to such details. While drinking tea together, they talked comfortably. Isidor teased her a little, saying he would send special tea to her house, then jokingly corrected himself. His teasing embarrassed Deborah, and she ended up kicking him lightly in irritation. Isidor only laughed and smiled. After they finished their tea, Isidor bought Deborah a small ceramic turtle figure because he noticed she had liked it. Deborah then bought a ceramic cat figure for him because she remembered that he liked cats. Isidor was surprised that she remembered such a small detail about him. He thanked her warmly, and Deborah realized that his sincere smile made her feel happy. Even after returning home, she could not stop thinking about that smile. The story then shifts to another scene involving the Seymour family. A family meeting is being held to celebrate Rozard’s recent success and the praise he has been receiving. However, Duke Seymour seems to be in a bad mood despite the celebration, making everyone around him uncomfortable and quiet. During the meeting, Rozard brings up an important issue. He says that marriage discussions involving Deborah have started again. If Deborah marries into another noble house, the rights to her valuable invention and formula could pass to that house. Rozard believes they need to find a solution to prevent that problem. Before he can continue, another family member reacts sharply, showing that the topic is likely to cause conflict and become very important in the future.

I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections

@Introvert Then

Spoiler!

Pilav was shocked and furious when he learned that Deborah had completely rejected the marriage proposal between their families. He had always believed that Deborah would eventually agree to marry him because he was rich, handsome, and from a powerful noble house. Instead, Deborah acted as if the marriage discussion had never happened and was often seen spending time with Isidor. This public rejection deeply embarrassed Pilav. Pilav angrily questioned his father about why the Seymour family had refused them. His father explained that the Seymours were upset because the Montes family had taken three years to answer the proposal. During that time, rumors spread that the Seymours were looking for a worthy husband for Deborah, which indirectly criticized Pilav's bad reputation, especially his relationship with Mia. Even though Pilav had recently ended things with Mia, the damage to his image had already been done. Duke Montes admitted that he had expected Deborah's family to eventually accept the marriage. Instead, the Seymours turned the situation around and humiliated them in the same way the Montes family had once looked down on the Seymours. Angry and disappointed, the duke blamed Pilav for making things worse and ordered him to behave himself. However, Pilav refused to stay quiet. The next day, he went to the Academy despite his father's warning. There, people were gossiping about how Deborah had rejected him. Many students mocked him, saying it was embarrassing that he had first rejected Deborah years ago but was now the one being rejected. Hearing this made Pilav even angrier.

Unable to accept the situation, Pilav waited near Deborah's carriage so he could confront her. When Deborah arrived, a knight stood between them for protection. Pilav demanded to know if she understood what she was throwing away by refusing him. He boasted that he could have given her wealth, status, and honor if she married him. Deborah was completely unimpressed. She calmly replied that she could obtain all those things by herself and did not need to marry him to get them. Her confidence left Pilav speechless. She treated him as someone unimportant and showed no interest in continuing the conversation. After Deborah got into her carriage and left, Pilav was left standing there alone. He was hurt, angry, and humiliated. Even though he secretly felt regret over what had happened, he refused to admit it. As Deborah's carriage disappeared, he could only mutter that one day she would regret rejecting him, even though nobody seemed to believe it anymore.

In short Pilav thought Deborah would definitely marry him, but she completely rejected him. His reputation and past behavior caused the proposal to fail. He became the target of gossip and ridicule, and when he confronted Deborah, she confidently told him that she did not need him for wealth or status, leaving him embarrassed and defeated. Deborah realizes that Pilav is the type of person who always wants things he cannot have. She thinks he and another woman named Deborah Seymour are very similar in that way. Deborah no longer cares about Pilav's feelings. If he keeps chasing her after everyone knows she rejected him, it will only damage his reputation. Unlike her, Pilav cares a lot about what other nobles think of him. As Deborah thinks about the rumors that she only wants to marry a mage, she suddenly realizes that she never actually said that. Her thoughts then drift to Isidor. She remembers his shy smile and handsome face, and she becomes embarrassed by how much she keeps thinking about him. Looking at a small ceramic turtle on her desk that has green eyes like Isidor's only makes her think of him more.

@Introvert So

Spoiler!

She remembers a conversation with Isidor where he teased her about only drinking when he was around. His playful smile and gentle behavior affected her more than she wanted to admit. She even suspects that he practices the piano because he knows she likes listening to it. Feeling overwhelmed by her growing feelings, she rests her head on her desk and admits that Isidor is confusing her emotions. The story then switches to Isidor's point of view. He sits alone, holding a ceramic cat figure that reminds him of Deborah. Ever since they touched hands, he has felt something he has never experienced before. Because of his fear of physical contact, he had never imagined he could comfortably touch another person's skin. Yet with Deborah, everything felt different, and he became fascinated by her. Over time, Isidor realizes that his fascination has become love. He constantly thinks about Deborah, smiles whenever he remembers her, and even continues practicing the piano because of her. He is happy that she rejected Pilav and secretly wishes she would think about him as much as he thinks about her. Even his cat, Cookie, cannot take away the ceramic figure because it has become very precious to him. By the end, Isidor fully accepts that he is deeply in love with Deborah.

Then the scene shifts to Pilav. He is drunk, angry, and bitter over Deborah's rejection. He hates hearing people gossip about him and is especially furious that Deborah is now spending time with Isidor. Pilav has always been jealous of Isidor, who is handsome, talented, respected, and naturally attracts attention wherever he goes. Pilav convinces himself that he is better than Isidor and that Deborah made a mistake by rejecting him. The more he drinks, the more his jealousy grows. He believes Deborah will eventually regret her choice and come back to him. By the end, he decides not to give up and hints that he is planning to do something to force the situation in his favor, believing that Deborah will thank him later even if she is angry now. Deborah had become popular because of the lectures she gave at the academy. A larger lecture was organized for students from different departments. After finishing her lecture, she left the building and overheard students talking about her. They were spreading strange rumors, including that she punished men who chased her romantically. Deborah was actually happy that these rumors would stop people from bothering her.

As she headed toward her carriage, she saw that the knights and guards nearby had been knocked unconscious. She immediately realized that Pilav Montes, a nobleman who was obsessed with her, was responsible. Pilav confronted her with his powerful fire elemental beside him. Deborah knew she could not win in a fight and tried to calm the situation by talking.

Deborah warned Pilav that attacking a student on academy grounds would bring serious punishment. Pilav claimed he had no intention of hurting her and said he only wanted to convince her to accept his feelings. Deborah replied that it was not love but an unhealthy obsession. Pilav ignored her criticism and continued trying to persuade her.

@Introvert And

Spoiler!

While speaking, Deborah secretly tried to use a teleportation scroll to escape. However, Pilav noticed and used his magic to burn the contents of her bag, destroying the scroll. Deborah became worried because her easiest way out was gone. Pilav's behavior became increasingly irrational, and he seemed unable to understand why she rejected him. Pilav then revealed a strange six-sided magical artifact. He cut his thumb, let his blood touch the artifact, and filled it with mana. The artifact began glowing with magical symbols. Deborah suspected it was a powerful ancient artifact. Pilav hinted that it would take them somewhere special and that it would help convince her to stay with him. Just as the artifact activated, golden energy attacks suddenly struck from the sky. The artifact was knocked from Pilav's hand. The attack came from Isidor, who teleported to Deborah's location. He grabbed Deborah and demanded that Pilav stop. Pilav was furious and shocked that Isidor had appeared. Unfortunately, the damage came too late. The artifact became unstable. Reality around them started twisting, and a powerful wave of mana spread outward. Deborah felt dizzy and weak. As the magical disturbance grew stronger, she lost consciousness while being held by Isidor.

The story then switches to Isidor's point of view. He checks Deborah and confirms that she is unconscious but not injured. Looking around, he realizes they are no longer in the normal world. They are standing in a strange place made mostly of blue water and magical energy.

Isidor understands what happened. The artifact was a special tool used by the Montes family to enter an isolated training space within the spirit realm. When he attacked the artifact to stop Pilav from kidnapping Deborah, he accidentally damaged it. As a result, both he and Deborah were pulled into this strange realm together, leaving them trapped there.

Deborah wakes up in what feels like a strange dream. She is walking across hot white sand, unable to control her body. She hears a man with red hair shouting at her, but she cannot understand his words because her ears are ringing. Suddenly, a sandstorm surrounds her, making it hard to breathe. Just as she feels like she is about to die, someone gently strokes her forehead. The comforting touch calms her down, and she slowly loses consciousness. When Deborah opens her eyes, she realizes she is resting with her head on Isidor's lap. He asks if she is alright and tells her not to sit up too quickly. She becomes dizzy and notices they are trapped in a strange place with nothing but endless blue water and a single stone platform beneath them. Isidor lets her keep resting on his lap, covers her with his coat, and gently cares for her while she recovers. Isidor explains that the heirloom artifact belonging to the Montes family exploded with magical energy during Pilav's attack. The explosion pulled both of them into a mysterious magical dimension. Deborah is furious with Pilav for causing all of this and vows that he will not get away with it. Isidor also blames Pilav and promises he will find a way to escape, even if it seems impossible.

Deborah thanks Isidor for helping her, but he feels guilty for not arriving sooner. She tries to comfort him by joking that getting angry will only give him wrinkles. Instead of making a joke back, Isidor becomes serious and says that Pilav is his problem too. His unusual reaction makes Deborah wonder what he truly means, but she is too confused to ask. After feeling a little better, Deborah carefully studies their surroundings. She notices that the stone platform is shaped like a hexagon. Remembering the artifact Pilav was holding, she realizes it also had six sides, each a different color. She guesses that the artifact is not simply a gate but a magical object containing several separate spaces. Because Pilav was standing on a different side of the artifact, he may have been sent somewhere else. Isidor is impressed by her clever theory and agrees it makes sense. The only problem is that they are surrounded by endless water. Deborah worries they cannot search for another exit. Isidor then casually reveals that he can use magic to levitate through the air. Deborah is shocked because that means he is a spellblade, someone who can use both sword skills and powerful magic, a very rare talent. She wonders why he kept such an amazing ability secret.
