Chapter 27 Reina quietly observed Kaiden, whose demeanor had grown noticeably heavier. Right after meeting Baron Clam, Reina realized why she had always felt uneasy about Lady Mary. Three years from now, the North was destined to face internal strife centered around Dalia Crensia. The reason for the coup was the claim that Kaiden had neglected Aiden Crensia’s death. Having lost his beloved wife, Aiden threw himself recklessly into his research. He didn’t hesitate to venture into…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 26 “Surely you’re not saying Kaiden is going himself?” “They need to be trained.” Kaiden gestured toward the knights with a nod, speaking casually. At this, Reina pursed her lips. He said it so nonchalantly that she almost nodded in agreement without thinking. Snapping out of it, Reina grabbed Kaiden and said, “You don’t have to go yourself.” “Why? Don’t want to hang out with me?” “That’s not what I mean…” Reina trailed off, avoiding his gaze. Of course,…

Chapter 67 At my words, Leila buried her face in her palms and burst into tears. James, startled, dropped the cookie he had been eating. "Si-Sister. Why are you crying? Is it because I ate all the cookies? Sister, don't cry!" "That's not it. You can have all the cookies." Leila said with a tearful voice. "Ah, no! I won't eat them either!" James also started crying, following Leila's lead. That sight warmed my heart. Just as those children had been a small hope for me in that darkness,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 66 Aileen gazed at me with pitiful eyes. I had never done anything to deserve such a look, but the people who were my parents had made me into someone pitiable. I gritted my teeth and muttered. "So that's why they didn't come. Because they were busy calculating this and that. They were weighing their options and thinking about what would be most beneficial, while my safety didn't matter at all." "Rosele..." No. There's no need to be hurt. They're not even my real family…

Chapter 55 "So you're saying it wasn't the Laos Trading Company that set fire to the Duke's warehouse, but the imperial family and the O'Claire Trading Company?" "That's what I'm saying! Not only that, but the Emperor has documented the weaknesses of various nobles and keeps them on file." As Alosha explained the situation like a rapid-fire cannon, Kyle's mouth fell open. He seemed shaken, as if the beliefs he had held throughout his life—his loyalty to the imperial family—were crumbling…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 25 At Reina’s request, Kaiden furrowed his brow as if she’d said something absurd. “Did you think I’d leave you alone on your birthday?” “Well… you’re busy, so…” Reina hesitated, fidgeting with her hands. She was afraid of the upcoming birthday. Before her regression, she had endured the fever alone, and the world had been plunged into darkness. And then came the first prophecy she saw. Knowing how that prophecy had sent her life plummeting into ruin made her…

- Chapter 54 The further down the cold stone stairs she went, the thicker the darkness grew and the cooler the air became. She had worried she wouldn't be able to see an inch ahead, but fortunately her eyes seemed to have adjusted to the darkness—she could at least make out the steps beneath her feet. *'Honestly, I don't get why people romanticize this kind of thing. Why not just throw in some magical elements and be done with it?'* Alosha internally cursed her friend a hundred times over as…

- Chapter 24 “Mm?” “The nanny said I’d get fat if I ate dessert… She said if I eat, I’ll gain weight right away and become chubby.” Reina stared at Dalia with a blank expression. To think that a mere 6-year-old child was being made to restrict her food because of concerns about gaining weight. In Reina’s eyes, Dalia simply had a healthy amount of baby fat. Strictly speaking, it was baby fat, not actual weight. Honestly, compared to her peers, her frame could even be considered…

- Chapter 23 Reina gazed at Mrs. Mary with cold eyes. Meeting those calm, pale blue eyes, Mrs. Mary felt an inexplicable pressure. Though she was the one looking down, it felt as if Reina were looking down on her. Unlike her earlier bravado, Mrs. Mary fell silent. She sensed the situation was turning serious. Reina glanced at the noticeably subdued Mrs. Mary and said to Lily, “Lily, bring it here.” “Yes, my lady.” As if waiting for the cue, Lily brought a tray. Reina had hoped not to use it,…

- Chapter 22 “Really? Is that okay?” Reina asked, her face lighting up. Kaiden, watching her closely, replied, “No one here knows imperial etiquette as well as you do. Aiden will be pleased too.” “Still, please check with him. He might have another teacher in mind.” “Alright.” He didn’t bother saying it was obvious Aiden would agree. Kaiden quietly observed Reina, her face visibly bright with plans for the future. Her enthusiasm was pleasing, bringing a smile to his…
