Chapter 59 Dedrick was about to be held accountable, but then a distinct voice cut in from a distance. “You all know that’s nonsense, right? Calling him unlucky… Dedrick was just standing there. Lord Somerset and Lord Axel fell because of their own carelessness.” It was Ebony. Joanna glared at her, but she knew she couldn’t change Dedrick’s reputation by speaking up herself. ‘I believe you’ll do well at this banquet.’ ‘Don’t disappoint us again, Joanna.’ Her…-

Chapter 43 If Good Comes, Evil Does Not; If Evil Comes, Good Does Not (1) Leaving the always bustling Lichfield Square and riding a carriage east for about 10 minutes. The city’s noise subsided at some point, and soon a completely different landscape unfolded. Commonly called ‘Maple Garden’. It wasn’t an actual garden, but a name attached to Nortaris’s emerging affluent district. Carriages and vehicles traveled over well-maintained roads without a single cracked or split brick. Beneath…-

Chapter 42 The First Secret Plan (6) In Britannia, gastronomy was merely a luxury for some eccentrics, not a matter of public interest. But when it came to alcohol, the story was different. In a harsh world without any decent entertainment, alcohol was one of the few pleasures and comforts in life, regardless of social status. The liquor tax of 15% per bottle was also a massive financial resource the royal family could never let go of, so they had immense interest in the production and distribution of…

Chapter 41 The First Secret Plan (5) A commotion broke out at the Renoir household. Serena, who had vanished without a trace, had returned safely with Jurgen. “My daughter, let me hold you. Come here, are you hurt anywhere?” “Serena! Where on earth have you been!” “Are you alright, Miss? You’re not injured, are you?” The workshop team members who had scattered in all directions gathered, and even Serena’s father, Viscount Renoir, and her mother came running out barefoot. Serena’s…

Chapter 30 What Do You Take Me For? Ferda tilted his head in confusion. “What does that have to do with plotting or instigating rebellion?” “It’s because you are arming soldiers through corporate sponsorships and constructing roads connecting to the Empire. Isn’t that clearly preparation for a smooth invasion?” That logic was absurd beyond reason. Ferda responded calmly. “Improving roads serves the purpose of facilitating supply lines, trade, and securing easier support from…-

Chapter 29 When in the King’s Territory, Follow the King’s Laws That day, Ferda stood at the highest point and spotted a group riding toward Baldrova’s royal territory. There were about twenty of them, all mounted on horseback. Unless a horse was raised in the Far East, most would instinctively recoil at the presence of a dragon. Even though these horses were raised in the central area, they did not exhibit such resistance. They had been trained to charge into danger, even if it meant losing…

Chapter 28 The Purge Unit The title of “Sage” is one that cannot ever be self-proclaimed, as it is held to the strictest of standards. Among the known sages of the Serdes continent, Hellus Fobidas became a sage through an unusual path. This was because he was not from Escolaea, the city of scholars, nor was he a commoner-born magician expected to shine with innate genius. Hellus himself left behind this anecdote about how he became a sage: He said that one day, while sleeping as usual, he awoke…

Chapter 27 Because It’s Embarrassing Count Consillus was startled and asked again. “The Regent? You mean… Valdrova’s fiancé?” “We’re not entirely sure about the details either… But what’s clear is that he managed to convince Branch Manager Stefan Pascal. That man is not easily swayed, no matter someone’s rank or status.” “Ahh…” Count Consillus let out an involuntary sigh. Ferda Valdrova. What kind of image did he have now? It was the worst. So far, all he had…

Chapter 26 A Man Who Can Envision the Future “An… outrageous story, you say?” “Whether you believe what I’m about to say or not doesn’t matter. Just listen.” “A-all right.” Stefan straightened his posture, trying to focus just as Ferda had asked. Though he still felt a bit dizzy, he could pay attention. Ferda began calmly. “This is the future I envision.” He didn’t dramatize it. No exaggerations, no lofty speeches. Just a simple recounting of what he had seen,…

Chapter 25 Scents and Smells The banquet hall of Valdrova Castle. Ferda was watching the gathering knights from above. “Disgusting creatures.” Ruri, standing next to him and overlooking the banquet hall, muttered with disdain. “Your hatred for humans seems excessive,” Ferda commented. “It’s not hatred for humans. Those things are just revolting,” Ruri retorted, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief as if she couldn’t bear it any longer. “When I heard the…
