sandia pepper

(Rather than a synopsis, this is more like a prologue.) "P... please marry me, your grace!" She shut her eyes after saying those words. Her face gradually reached the brightest shade of red in embarrassment, excitement, and also... fear of being rejected. After a few seconds of silence, and waiting for a definite response, she instead heard a gentle laugh that was on par with the music of the gods being played by angels, filling the entire room. Slowly, Pepper opened her eyes, mesmerized by the sight. She buried the image of the man in front of her, laughing as his fist covered his slightly open lips. The wrinkles around his closed eyelids emphasized the tenderness of his calm face. It was not the kind of laugh mocking Pepper or what she said, rather, it was more like a surprised laugh that escaped his mouth that one couldn't help but say... 'He looks kind and sweet.' Embarrassment struck her once more as the Grand Duke opened his eyes and met hers. She immediately lowered her head, pretending to watch her shoes squabble. She hoped that he didn't see her ogling in front of his face. "U...uhmmm" Pepper could still hear his quiet laughter as she watched his long fingers reach for his teacup on the glass table. She couldn't deny that seeing the silver ring on one of them reflected brilliantly on the glass affected her, but she didn't have the right to talk about it. Pepper had only realized how guilty she felt for the late duchess for committing such an inconceivable thing, but she knew she had to go through with it. She wanted him. 'Please, late duchess, bestow your blessings on us. I swear I'll take care of him, so please, please... I hope he accepts my proposal.' -------- Yes, yes finally! I am graduating from college, hopefully, *fingers crossed*. Finally have some spare time to write. And, please excuse my poor written and bad synopsis, that's my most hated part in writing so I didn’t go all out here. I am fond of reading historical, fantasy romance that’s why I am setting this story bet. 17-18th century because that’s the most appropriate age for my dramatic story (lol), I guess? Anyways, this may not be much like the other well-written novels out there but, if you're here, I hope you enjoy. My inspiration for writing this one was the anime Ristorante Paradiso, I recently re-watched the anime and *Italian chefs kiss* to the level of maturity of that anime! --- This is a work of fiction.

Neste mundo, pessoas, após passarem por eventos memoráveis durante sua vida, como a perda de um ente querido, uma tentativo de assassinato e uma quase-morte, podem acabar passando por um processo chamado Ascensão, onde uma chama invisível começa a queimar seu coração. Esta chama é chamada de “Faísca da Alma”. Por mais que muitos morram devido à dor da queimadura, muitos corpos conseguem se adaptar à energia e se beneficiar em cima dela. Aqueles que conseguem controlá-la e perpetuá-la para fora de seu corpo são chamados de “Ardentes”. Estes Ardentes podem desenvolver habilidades genéticas conhecidas como “Fendas”, onde sua energia é moldada de maneira útil para situações diversas. Quando um Ardente alcança um ponto máximo de poder e auto-controle, ele pode se transformar através do “Burnout”, um estado onde a própria energia interna toma controle do corpo, deixando ela consumi-lo por completo. A história começa no Japão no ano de 2019, onde uma grande organização militar e religiosa chamada de “Pentáculo” atua, criada para defender o país de ataques realizados por diversos grupos terroristas. O Pentáculo confisca pessoas da sociedade para serem “Bispos”, que ao mesmo tempo que pregam nos templos, lutam na linha de frente.

Então, sumonou um avião de papel gigante, e voou com Luppo para longe. Percebendo que o mundo é cinza e perigoso agora, Reno decide apresentar Luppo à Scoville, uma organização de Ardentes que atua contra o Pentáculo e Os Xerifes, e defende civis da opressão e dos ataques dos grupos inimigos.
