Chapter 08 I corrected what I was going to say. Jun had a somewhat slippery side to him, so if I didn't ask directly, I knew I'd never get a straight answer. He chewed his food very slowly, and only opened his mouth right before I felt like I was going to pass out from holding my breath. “Would you like to guess which branch I work at?” But even that was a counter-question. What I wanted was a statement that ended with a period, not a game of twenty questions. A hint of displeasure…- 1.0 M • Completed
Chapter 110 I’ll Stay With You, Forever Sunlight filtered gently through the curtains, spreading softly across the smooth marble floor. A breeze slipped in through the open window. In the garden, though all the snow had melted, the greenery hadn’t fully returned—yet young sprouts were pushing up through the soil, whispering quietly that spring had come. A vase of violets sat beautifully on the windowsill. The Emperor’s funeral had ended in winter. As the long-frozen season…- 880.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 109 Prepare the Funeral “The Crown Prince—” Damian lightly gestured to the maid who was about to inform the Emperor. Understanding his meaning, she immediately closed her lips and opened the door. The stifling air inside the churning bedroom was hot enough to choke. Smoke rising slowly from the censer on the nightstand wavered shapelessly as it drifted toward the ceiling. In the midst of that fog-like smoke, the Emperor was seated against the head of the bed. The royal…

- Chapter 30 “What do you mean, thinking?” I asked calmly, though Etias’s blue eyes seemed to grow more conflicted. After a short pause, he spoke again. “Strange rumors are spreading about you.” I stayed quiet. I could guess what kind of rumors. “That Katrin Elemoer is trying to distance herself from the nobles who support the Emperor.” Things like returning the northern tundra, or fighting with the other nobles, would all be seen that way. And of course, my conflict with…

- Chapter 29 Philios stopped squirming for a moment. As he looked into Etias’s piercing blue eyes, he felt an unmistakable killing intent wash over him. Etias spoke quietly. “So that’s why you ended up in prison.” Philios flinched. “You dragged me into this just to get revenge after Katrin broke up with you.” Etias had heard that Philios was imprisoned for insulting the emperor. But to blame it on Katrin? It was obvious—he must’ve mentioned Katrin and lied in front of the…

- Chapter 27 After the Duke of Elemoer’s funeral, I had run into Fadelmon as he was hurriedly leaving our house. He was awkwardly holding a stack of papers. “Ka-Katrin. Haha…” At the time, I had just recently realized I was in a possessed body, and everything was so chaotic I didn’t think much of it. But later, I figured out what he had taken. He had tried to steal the documents proving a huge debt he owed to his older brother—the Duke—hoping to take care of the problem now that his…

- Chapter 26 After a few seconds of silence, Fadelmon suddenly yelled. “Where did you even hear such nonsense?!” Well, that wasn’t unexpected. Even though he had to know the witness had been caught, Fadelmon pretended to be innocent with a shameless face. “That was all made up by your relatives to pin the blame on me. I actually tried to stop them! You really believed what they said?” He touched his forehead and sighed dramatically, acting like he was heartbroken. “Your late father—my…

Chapter 10 At that moment, stubbornness welled up inside me. *'I've come this far—I can't end my life by falling off a phoenix's back.'* I stretched out my hand desperately, and fortunately, my outstretched fingers managed to grasp a handful of the phoenix's wing feathers. At that moment, a warm and soft sensation touched my body again. The phoenix raised its wing vertically, lightly catching me and tossing me back onto its back. *Piiii—* Having finished its little game, the…- 1.8 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 09 'Aigo, my head.' Where should I even start explaining this for Aegir to understand? "Master is a mage, and I'm just an ordinary person." "Yes." "Normal humans experience extreme pain when treated like that, trapped so harshly in water. Since you've never experienced it yourself, you probably wouldn't know." "I am aware." It was an ambiguous answer. Was he aware that normal humans feel pain when trapped in water, or was he saying he had experienced it himself? "I…
