~Chapter 16~ As the sun set and darkness fell, the smell of delicious food filled the whole castle. “Oh my, this is something. It’s like a completely different place now.” “Butler Adolf!” I ran toward Adolf as he entered the dining room. “What about Uncle? Is he here yet?” “He’s on his way down now. But… is it really okay for everyone to do this together…?” I pulled the signed paper from my pocket. “It’s fine. I already got the Duke’s…-

~Chapter 14~ The maids stood in front of the east room as if in silent prayer. “…This feels strange,” murmured the maid opening the door. The east room—The most prestigious room in the castle, in the best location. “Wait, I’m about to cry again…” “Don’t… You’ll make me cry too.” One maid tilted her head back, pinching the bridge of her nose. Hazel’s eyes also blinked damply. It was a child’s room. A space the duke and duchess had decorated themselves. “My goodness,…

~Chapter 13~ “Your Grace?” “No, it’s nothing.” He roughly scratched the back of his head. ‘No way.’ She’s just a child born and raised in a remote village. She’s probably just not familiar with imperial clocks. ‘Looks like I’m the one still wandering the battlefield.’ A faint, self-mocking smile brushed over his relaxed face for just an instant—so brief no one could notice. I was startled. “W-what is this?” The burly maid sisters suddenly showed up holding…

~Chapter 12~ “Wow, Father, look at this!” Void held up the gold-bordered card as if it were a treasure. The bug-chewing look on Uncle’s face while watching that was priceless… “If you liked it that much, why didn’t you buy it earlier?” When I asked casually, Void turned his head. “This was only sold in the capital for a limited time. You can’t get it in the North.” “You could’ve just written to the duke and asked him to buy it.” “As if I could say something like…

~Chapter 11~ “Uh…” His eyes widened a little when he saw me. His smooth lips twitched slightly, and then he leaned to whisper to the attendant beside him. “Hey.” “Yes, young master.” “…Something feels weird with her here.” Even with his hand over his mouth, I could hear it all. ‘So, the new stone is bothering him!’ If I want to adapt here safely, I need to get along with him too! I swallowed nervously. ‘Of course, I have my ultimate item.’ I had prepared something…

~Chapter 10~ But the young lord merely grinned, his round eyes, taller than mine by a head, curling teasingly. “Enough with the greetings—let’s get inside. The wind grows chilly as the sun sets.” Leviathan gently rested his hand atop both mine and Void’s heads, then furrowed his brow. “The height difference…” It was quite noticeable. Though he muttered under his breath, I was too focused on watching Void. “And the late duke?” At Leviathan’s question, a dignified butler wearing…

~Chapter 9~ “What is this?” “What do you mean?” “…Hell?” “It’s my domain.” Leviathan pressed his forehead gently against mine. I gazed blankly over the vast expanse before us. My short hair fluttered softly in the desolate northern wind. “Nothing but rocks?” “I told you.” A gloomy dust cloud rolled along. The lord’s territory, filled with ash-gray stone walls, resembled, frankly, the ruins of a fallen kingdom. No offense to those who lived there, of course. The…

~Chapter 8~ “Do not touch it.” “Huh?” “I know it looks pretty…but it’s poisonous.” Leviathan’s brow furrowed deeply as he pushed me away. “Sybelita Herb.” “Oh, that one…” I started to correct him but stopped myself. Abelita and Sybelita—two herbs with eerily similar names and appearances. Though a closer look revealed every detail was different… ‘To the untrained eye, they probably look the same.’ The greatest distinction lay in the blue magical aura enveloping…

~Chapter 7~ Wait, hold on.What’s going on here? “Stop it already.” I sat at the edge of the road, holding my aching stomach and opened my eyes wide.Did the man finally get tired of me? —No, that wasn’t it.The one who cut me off with a cold presence was… Sir Leon, the blue-haired knight standing next to him — the uncle’s aide. “His Grace hasn’t slept for days.” He looked at me with strict eyes. We were on the road heading north from the capital in a carriage.I was…

~Chapter 6~ “Yeah.” He answered without a moment’s hesitation. “……” I peeked out from under the crinkly blanket with only my eyes, and the man sighed deeply when he looked at me. “Your eyes and the back of your head must have a problem.” “I don’t get what you mean.” “Me neither.” He sounded resigned, his voice dragging. Even though I had a fever and my body felt hot, I couldn’t stop smiling. It just made me happy to hear that he had come to find me. I grabbed a bunch…
