Chapter 20 Uncle Popina, however, seemed quite satisfied with his aptitude. “You know, when I was younger, I had amazing hips. I also loved astrology. Every night before bed, I would copy poems by hand while enjoying the scent of the wildflowers I picked that morning...” I decided to summon the person responsible for all this confusion—the Bleached Demon Lord. I'll call him and ask what all of this means... and why I'm the only one without an aptitude. I stretched out my left hand…-

Chapter 60 Before Verity started explaining, I warned him. "You'd better explain this carefully. Depending on what you're about to say, I'll have to decide whether to become a devoted daughter, attack an old man, become an ungrateful brat, or completely turn against my family." "Do you really think that depends on how well I explain it?" He began by explaining my ability. "The Clavis family possesses a power that is passed down through blood." "You mean... the power to open space?" Aunt…

Chapter 8 According to Verity, he did not have the ability to open this barrier. “But with Young Lady’s Opening and Closing ability, you can.” “But if I open the barrier again…” “I already heard from His Lordship that you coughed up blood and collapsed.” Thankfully, Verity did not force me to do it recklessly. Instead, the school-uniform demon patiently explained the trick. “Don’t try to open the entire barrier. Just open enough for the three of us to pass through.…

Chapter 61 When we returned to the hotel, Verity was squatting miserably in front of our room. When I looked at him as if asking "What are you doing?", he answered honestly. "Nema cried herself to sleep." "I felt bad staying beside a sleeping lady, so I came outside." "But there's another room." "You could've waited there." "I don't have the key..." "Ah." Ian took the spare room key out of his pocket. While Ian unlocked the other room, I quietly asked Verity, "What…

Chapter 23 Emily, who had come early without notice, didn't say a word until the steam rising from the teacup on the table had completely dissipated. Feeling suffocated by the silence, Alosha let out a short sigh and decided to speak first. "So, what urgent matter brings you here so abruptly without any word beforehand?" At Alosha's grumbling tone, Emily smiled gently and set down her teacup. "I'm hurt. Do we really need separate notice between us?" When a handsome man deliberately acts…-

Chapter 30 'Miss thinks those children might also become victims of the Summoning Succession Ritual.' Verity agreed. Libby immediately headed toward the address the old herbal medicine shop owner had given her. She also packed cloaks for both children. All three of them would safely return to the village. “And Verity.” “Capture every Imperial Knight inside the mansion and lock them in the underground prison.” “Also keep an eye on how the servants react.” “Uncle Pex,…

Side Story 11 Seo-ah shook her head resolutely. "Seo-ah." She tightly took hold of Taehyuk's hand—the one he had tried to put in her mouth—and squeezed it. "Stay... please stay right by my side," she whispered, her voice trembling like a sob. Taehyuk nodded repeatedly, leaning closer to her. Seo-ah wrapped her arm around his shoulder, wringing out every last bit of strength left in her body. Another massive contraction hit her like a tidal wave. Being the final push, it was completely incomparable…-

Chapter 25 Taehyuk stared blankly at the empty apartment. The rooms were dead silent, draped in a heavy, suffocating gloom. After taking a shower, he lay alone in bed, tossing and turning all night as memories of Seo-ah burst forth like a broken dam. Human emotions were truly fickle things. When they were oceans apart, it had been manageable in its own way. But now, simply knowing they breathed the same air under the same sky left him feeling utterly, uncontrollably hollow. They were strangers now,…

Chapter 36 Taehyuk's sudden departure earlier after answering Jung-hyun's call had been weighing heavily on her mind. He had promised to fill her in once he got back, but his expression had been dead serious. Besides, she had already been thinking about calling Jung-hyun herself anyway. If Taehyuk was truly set in his resolve, Jung-hyun was the only person left on earth who could actually stop him. For a fleeting second, Seo-ah wondered if Jung-hyun had been the one to reveal her location to Taehyuk,…
