Chapter 05 Scritch, scratch. The sound of a fountain pen brushing against paper filled the quiet office. Chester Valerio, the head of the Valerio Duchy, scanned the documents with sharp eyes. The master of a great noble's main household, and the empire's foremost ducal family at that, had much to do. Chester's schedule was adjusted down to the minute. Meaning he had no time to waste on a mere tutor. But Chester personally met with Kailus's tutors. Every single time. All because…- 1.3 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 04 At Yurenia's radiant smile, as if flowers were in full bloom, the Duke's brow furrowed slightly. The power of a handsome man was truly remarkable. Even with a furrowed brow, he still looked handsome. 'It's a shame he's not Kail.' Perhaps if Kailus actually existed, this is what he might have felt like. "I apologize. I was simply nervous meeting someone as highly esteemed as Your Grace for the first time. I will take your words to heart. Is there anything else you wish to…

- Chapter 03 'The Valerio Duchy? Could it possibly be that Valerio?' Yurenia couldn't believe her eyes the moment she saw the notice. Valerio was the family name of the male protagonist, Kailus, from 『Obsessive Bondage』—the novel she had been reading right before she died in her previous life. What were the odds that a family with the exact same name existed in this world? And with the same ducal title, no less? 'Did I possess 『Obsessive Bondage』?' Yurenia furrowed her…

- Chapter 02 Defying the seasons, the heat of summer blazed in hot June. Yurenia stood before the main gate of the grand mansion, carrying a large leather bag. Two lions facing each other, their front paws raised as if growling. The emblem of the Valerio Duchy. Her cherry-blossom-colored eyes sparkled at the massive, ornate gate decoration that boasted the majesty of the empire's foremost ducal family. 'This is the place.' Where the story begins. No, to be precise, it's where the…

- Chapter 01 It was cold. Yurenia quietly clenched her fist in the silence. Her fingertips were so cold from the chill that they felt frozen solid. This was the office of Chester Grayson Valerio, the head of the Valerio Duchy, which boasted the highest power in the empire. The office was as neatly arranged as it had been four months ago, when Yurenia first met him. A fire burned gently in the fireplace, and the warm autumn sunlight streamed in through the large windows. So it should…

Chapter 05 I know it. This is exactly the feeling when a blade is pressed to your neck. *Gulp.* Killian Nox and I were a good ten paces apart. Yet, a sense of crisis, as if the sharp tip of a blade were pressing against the soft flesh under my chin, ran down my spine. "Stop." Damn it. I gritted my teeth and slowly turned around. And once again, I met Killian Nox's eyes. From the day my entire family died, for 13 years in Wickers, my survival instinct that had protected me…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 04 With the tension awakening every sense in my body, I firmly grasped the dagger. I silently rose from the bed and walked toward the entrance. Even my breathing was suppressed. *Creak, creak.* The footsteps were getting closer, unmistakably heading toward my door. *Thud, thud.* Someone knocked on the door with their fist. "Rookie." It was Senior Jake's voice. "...Yes, Senior." But I couldn't let my guard down. I pressed my body even tighter against the wall…

- Chapter 03 It had already been a year since I completed my revenge on my family at Wickers. After barely escaping the Krolin Kingdom, I wanted to go straight to the Bernheim Empire, but... I had to avoid potential pursuit, and at the same time, I didn't have an identification card that would allow me to safely cross the border. Since identification cards list appearance, eye color, and the like, preparation was necessary. The artifact necklace my father left me had a critical…

- Chapter 02 My breath was caught in my throat, and my lungs felt like they were about to burst at any moment. "Haah, haah!" My ragged breaths froze white in the frigid northern air, leaving traces of my presence in the dark forest. "Hah, huff. Damn it." My vision was spinning, and I eventually had to stop walking. I had no choice but to lean my back against a large tree, and the sweat soaking my entire body began to cool down rapidly. I was unlucky. On my way out of the…

- Chapter 01 *Poof.* As I confirmed that the blade tip had pierced deep as intended, the first thing I felt was, absurdly enough, a sense of relief. The feeling of, 'Ah, I've finally finished my revenge.' "Hah." A weary sigh escaped my lips. They say revenge is hollow. That person who said that and I must be different breeds. Like finishing a long-overdue assignment, like a sinner who has paid their price, my heart became light as if it had grown wings in an…
