Chapter 86 I asked Ian a few more questions about the Crown Prince. “Do you know what the Crown Prince hates? It doesn't matter what it is. Just tell me everything you know that he dislikes.” “Is that really important? Shouldn't you find out what he likes so you can welcome him when he comes...?” “What would I even do with information about things he likes?” Maybe because I couldn't remember my childhood, asking all these questions about the Crown Prince felt exhausting. It…-

Chapter 2 Bang! Bang! Right on cue, a series of familiar, aggressive knocks shattered my train of thought. Bang! Bang! "Hey! Celesia!" It was Tasha, my fellow maid. Tasha was a boar sub-species famous for a temper every bit as stiff and stubborn as her dark brown hair. At this point, I wasn't even surprised by this exact routine playing out on day one of every regression. CRACK! Not content with just bashing the door with her fists, Tasha started kicking it violently. The wooden door groaned so hard…-

Chapter 5 Like Misaligned Gears I tried to view the current situation as rationally as possible. At first, I thought in a one-dimensional way: Askan would eventually kill me, so maybe I could avoid that ending by keeping him pleased. But I had already done far too many unforgivable things to him, and trusting someone’s feelings in such a volatile situation seemed foolish. My life was mine to protect—I couldn’t hand the hilt of the knife to anyone else. After staying up several nights, thinking it…-

Chapter 14Even before the Fleur Citizen's Revolution, the House of Chester's finances had been in poor condition. The national debt continued to grow due to the royal family's extravagance, and the treasury was emptied as if it had a hole in it. The nobles, too, squeezed taxes out of the commoners and indulged in their own luxury and dissipation. It was only natural that a revolution would occur. After the revolution, which had been stained with the blood of many, succeeded and the cabinet was established,…-

Chapter 4 The gatekeeper furrowed his brow sharply. You’ve come to collect a debt from the Marquis? The woman before him didn’t seem wealthier than Marquis Schneider. To lend money to him, one would need to be at least of royal blood. Hesitating with a troubled expression, he finally said, “I’ll go ask. Please wait here a moment.” For some reason, he couldn’t simply dismiss her words. Marien slowly nodded. Creak. The side door closed in front of her. As Marien listened to the…-

Chapter 6 In the comic, Havi had just awakened her power, just like me. Beside her floated a mummy-like fairy that looked as if it had been thoroughly dried in the fires of hell. Snap! I immediately closed the book. The Bleached Demon looked at me with a proud smile. “Well?” “Isn't it amazing?” “......” A Demon was still a Demon. The next morning... “Wake up! Get up!” The Bleached Demon woke everyone by banging a soup ladle…

Chapter 23 Fake Pocket Dimension The "Fake Pocket Dimension." It was a technique inspired by Verity's pocket dimension. I connected the inside of my pocket to an empty room in our house so I could store all kinds of things. "If opening and closing means connecting spaces... then it should work." But I had taken it one step further. "The truly important application is this." There was a small door built into one corner of my office. Behind it was a staircase leading underground. The…

Chapter 5 “When I enrolled in law school, the sanctuary had already begun to crumble. Your Grace surely knows that women are now attempting to enter professions once considered exclusively male.” “But the reality isn’t so simple, Marien. The police department is more hostile to women than any other field. Across the entire kingdom, there aren’t even twenty female officers. And I’d wager there isn’t a single woman in the Blauburg Police Department.” “That’s precisely why I need Your…

Chapter 12 Bees and Farming (3) After Mr. Miller and the farm owner, Mr. Jeffrey Holland, hurriedly left to investigate while carrying the bodies of the bees, the remaining kids sat blankly in front of the beehives for a while and then trudged over to where the bus was. I had been secretly gleeful inside ever since Uncle Jeffrey said the words Silver Oak Farm, but I was too busy keeping my expression in check to let it show, so I did not get a chance to open my mouth. The other kids, however, were not…-
