"Thank you, thank you very much!"

As if in response to the enthusiasm of the audience, Theresia greeted everyone with a big smile on the stage and a deep bow.

Everyone loved Theresia's performance, and she was very pleased.

With the praise of her peers, Theresia returned to the dressing room with various gifts from fans, and the moment she closed the door, her heart finally let go and sighed.

Then, a low, calm voice came from the corner of the dressing room.

"You're amazing today, Theresia."

"You...... There you are. ”

After that night's magical ball, Theresia's life ushered in a turning point, that day, Teresia, who seized the opportunity, was seen by everyone after the performance, and more and more people knew about an actor named Theresia, and then, she appeared on a better stage.

With her excellent acting skills, natural wit, and charming charm, Theresia captured the hearts of the audience at once and finally achieved the success expected of an actor.

The stigma of "daughter of a declining aristocracy" that had long plagued her was unwittingly replaced by "Rodluban's most promising rookie", and in this city, Theresia's fame grew.

Now, Theresia's parents are no longer persecuting her, her younger siblings are no longer crying, and the burden of life that weighs on her is gone.

Everything was moving forward like a ship sailing downwind. And Theresia owes all this success to the gentleman named He.

On that day, He's warm words ignited Theresia's hope for life and inspired her will to overcome suffering.

Theresia, who secretly hid He's in her heart, did everything she could, looking forward to meeting him again one day.

Finally, on the day of Theresia's first performance in the play alone, Hee reappears in front of her. He looked the same as before, but instead of a thief, he was a nobleman with a lot of wealth.

Teresia was pleased with the luck and opportunity she had with her talents, so she acted as Teresia's agent and supported her with all her back. In this way, Theresia spent a long time with He.

During this time, Theresia also gave her all to He, and she could feel He's tenderness to her in the soft collapse every night. At the same time, Theresia also slowly learns the story behind He.

"Gentleman."

"Strange thieves."

"Magician."

Known as the "Jeweler", He, a known thief and magician, earned the nickname "Jeweler" for his frequent snatching of the most precious jewels.

However, he never harmed anyone, and only ran away after getting the jewelry.

"Why are you stealing jewelry?"

Teresia leaned naked-naked against He's chest and slid her fingertips over He's skin.

"Everything I do, it's for 'gem magic.'"

He poured all his passion into his own original magic, infusing the "gem" into it and turning it into the "source of magic", also known as "gem magic".

With magic-infused gems, even those with very low magical talent can use a certain level of magic.

Magic Gems can be used for a short period of time, but with a wide range of uses, such as instantly enhancing mana and creating illusions.

Of course, there are constraints to such magic, and not all gems can be infused with magic.

When injecting magic, it is not known whether the gem in front of you can be magical, and if this process fails, the original intact gem will lose its brilliance in an instant.

As a result, Hyuk became a thief for the sake of "gem magic" and has been searching for gems that are most likely to be successfully infused with magic.

Although Hek is an excellent magician, his swordsmanship is also outstanding, and he often uses his powerful swordsmanship and gem magic to escape pursuit, and others can only see a phantom.

In order to give back to Theresia for the first time, He, he taught Teresia his stabbing sword skills and his proprietary gem magic.

Hee doesn't get excited, and he doesn't talk about his heart, but he seems to feel pure joy only when he teaches Theresia.

The intelligent and talented Theresia is always enthusiastic about absorbing knowledge and learning everything that Hee teaches, and she has a simple desire to see more of his smile and be with him forever.

Over time, Theresia developed to the point where she could perfectly mimic He's appearance as a monster thief, attaching gems with special magic to her stabbing sword, which also taught her to use both magic and swordsmanship.

Teresia is a world-famous actress and a student of admiration for He, she and Hehe live a happy life that she could never have imagined before, they are mentors and apprentices by day, and lovers by night, and every night when the joy of forgetting love and the fusion of sweat and saliva, Teresia feels that she is the happiest woman in the world.

Hek is the only person in this world who can make Theresia open her heart, and the benefactor who gave her the power to live.

If Theresia could linger with Heh forever, hearing him call her name in a deep and affectionate voice, the naïve Theresia would do anything.

Whatever it is.

......

One day, when it was time for dinner, Hee said to Theresia, "Now, it's time to leave Rodrupan." ”

"What did you say?"

Theresia stood up, and she heard shocking words.

She thought they could be together forever, but why would Hyuk say such cruel things?

"Tell me, why?"

"Not too long ago, I finally found the 'perfect gem' I was looking for."

“......”

With a subtle expression on his face, He calmly said this simple sentence.

Not long ago, He'd heard that there was a perfect gem on display at the Stedelijk Museum in Rodruban, and he thought that this gem must contain the purest magic.

While with Theresia, He's stopped working as a thief, but now he decides to use this opportunity to start over, and once he gets the gem, he will leave Rodluban to devote himself to completing the study of gem magic.

"But, dear...... The Knights of Rodruban have been stationed at the Stedelijk Museum for a long time, and these precious gems are heavily guarded, and if you are caught, you ......"

"Yes, it's hard to get away with it."

“......”

Theresia stared at He, her heart was broken just by imagining He's capture, and she couldn't understand why Hek had made the decision to do so.......
