The library door opened slowly.
A crystal chandelier, hanging from the high ceiling, cast a bright light, illuminating the spacious room.

Magic texts, specifically, research notes on the Third Magic, Heaven's Feel.

Haru sat at the desk, flipping through a volume, his voice calm and even. "According to my schedule, you should be on a plane to London right now, Sola-Ui Sophia-Ri."
Sola-Ui, thanks to generations of selective breeding within her prestigious mage family, was a striking beauty.
Fiery red hair, a naturally radiant complexion, and the refined elegance of a noblewoman—she usually carried herself with an air of haughty confidence, her demeanor as cold and imposing as an ice sculpture.
