Chapter 120
My head was spinning. So what this meant was...
“Don’t tell me... I’m the Tower Lord’s granddaughter?”
The Tower Lord had clearly known everything.
From that very day I became Minister, during our conversation—
[Creating new scrolls... People outside the Magic Tower might not understand magic, but this is something only adults can do! Normally it takes five years inside the Tower to refine pure mana! But you said you made one when you were eight! Without ever coming to the Tower! You didn’t lie, did you?! Even you have to admit that’s weird!]
Back then, I hadn’t had the energy to reflect deeply on how strange I was. At the time, I still hadn’t fully recovered from my chronic exhaustion.
[Any other special abilities? Even if you do, just say you don’t when you’re around others. And that thing about creating scrolls since you were a kid—don’t mention it unless you absolutely have to.]
The Tower Lord had emphasized it over and over:
Don’t let ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) people know you’re special.
“He must’ve suspected I was an experiment subject.”
I couldn’t fully grasp what my mother had gone through—why she’d been chased by loan sharks, why she abandoned us.
But I could piece together a rough hypothesis about myself.
