      ETCHY 04 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 04 "Will the Grand Duke also come to the party?" At the Emperor's answer, Crescentia's face lit up with joy. Davit's eyes widened at the slight rise in her voice, then he smirked and said. "I issued an imperial decree, so he will come." "I see..." Crescentia's heart began to race. She could meet him again. Her mind filled with various expectations. This time, she would definitely have a proper conversation. She would thank him, and she should also invite him to Reginia. She…

      ETCHY 03 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 03 As their bodies pressed together without a gap, Crescentia could feel the man's firm body through the fabric—a chest twice as thick as hers, and his massive frame. "Grand Duke, now—*cough!*" "Cover your nose with this." Erich quickly pressed his handkerchief into Crescentia's hand as she coughed, and moved his feet. Thanks to his height, which stood a head taller than most people, he found the exit without difficulty. Crescentia, cradled against his broad chest, moved her…

      ETCHY 02 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 02 The world is truly vast. Crescentia looked around the exposition hall with pure admiration. The products created as the empire accelerated its industrialization were bringing things beyond imagination into reality as a matter of course. "...So this automobile moves on the same principle as the steam locomotive Your Highness rode to get here to Boren. It's the culmination of new technology!" The eyes of the man giving the enthusiastic explanation gleamed with yearning for…

      ETCHY 01 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 01 *BOOM!* Fireworks shot up into the clear sky, and the cheers of the crowd noisily filled the open square. Today was the day of the Artur Empire's exposition. A grand occasion to showcase the empire's reforms and new technologies, hosting distinguished guests invited from across the continent. "That carriage procession is quite long. I wonder where the carriage carrying the Princess of Regina is by now." A blond man seated at the head of the welcome booth at the exposition…

      ETCHY 00 Cover
      by Martin — Prologue 00 Never go up to the third floor after the sun sets. This was an unwritten rule for the employees of the Grand Duke Peter's household, who ruled over the winter city of Ewald. Even during night patrols, this was no exception. There was one reason. The third floor housed the bedchamber of the Grand Duke and Duchess. But no one knew why that should be grounds for a ban on entry. "Ugh, it's cold..." A maid who had lost her way in the vast mansion looked around with a troubled…

      SBTGC 05 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 05 "If you're going to ignore me, you should do it consistently, right?" The helmeted man said playfully, as if aiming at the skull. The smile on the surface, now wearing sunglasses, snickered. I stiffly rolled my eyes and stared at the helmeted man's hand. Something was now gripped in his hand, which had been empty just a moment ago. "I feel left out when you whisper without me. This is why odd numbers are no good." …That's also a pistol. I take back what I said about not…

      WBSML 01 Cover
      by Atlas Haven — Chapter 1 “Have you been well?” “……Leopold.” “My, how cold. Call me like you used to. By my nickname.” Blonde hair, smooth as honeyed silk, flowed down as blue eyes, seemingly frostbitten by glaciers, shimmered. He smiled softly and rested his chin upon his palm. Despite possessing a menacingly well-built physique, his act of playing pretty was simply absurd. “I knew long ago that you were crazy. But has your mind completely departed from your body now?” “Oh,…

      SBTGC 04 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 04 "Then… what about those people who were chasing us earlier?" "The police of Rachajert." Huh? "The police? Real police?" "Yes." What. I thought they were fake police? Isn't that why we ran away? "Then why did you say I shouldn't get caught?" "I think I mentioned it, but Rachajert welcomes souls." Despite the endless questions, he answered me patiently. Of course, he did show a bit of annoyance. "And those police are affiliated with Rachajert." Ah. I…

      SBTGC 03 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 03 When I felt that we had landed on flat ground, I was lying on top of the man's body. Trembling, I lifted my closed eyelids. A dark, dirt-covered ground, piles of rocks, and sparsely planted trees came into my tilted field of vision, one by one. And the pain I had felt earlier…. "……." It was gone. Strangely enough. What? Why doesn't it hurt? Could it be that something went wrong during the fall and my senses are numb? …And what about the man? He must have been…

      SBTGC 02 Cover
      by Martin — Chapter 02 At that moment, rather than the question of how he knew my name, I felt a certain conviction. In a world where everything felt unfamiliar and ambiguous, it was solely because of the man's voice, clearly pronouncing my name, that I felt this way. Ah, I absolutely hate this kind of either-or situation! After a moment of deliberation, I quickly climbed into the passenger seat. The moment I fastened my seatbelt, the car shot forward like a bullet. *Eek!* Instantly, the man blocked…
