Chapter 48 The floor of the Ducal residence's reception room was cold as ice, but the back of the O'Claire Trading Company's head, prostrate with his forehead pressed to the floor, was drenched in cold sweat. In the silence where even breathing was a burden, the sound of Whistler's fingers tapping *tok, tok* against the armrest of his chair echoed like a death sentence. "Y-Y-Your Grace! Please, forgive me just this once! I swear it was not intentional on our company's part! While the supervisors…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 47 Alosha was in a very uncomfortable state of mind. "Why haven't I seen even a trace of him?" The date with Whistler that day hadn't seemed to go badly, yet she hadn't run into him at all since then. It definitely seemed like he was avoiding her on purpose, but the problem was she couldn't figure out why. 'If you don't know, you should just ask.' There was no benefit to overthinking it. Alosha hurried to Whistler's office in one swift stride. "Mr. Crowley, move…

Chapter 60 "...Do you know how much double is? It's a whopping 400,000 gold. How could someone like you, an ajumma, possibly have that much?" "That amount is nothing. My vault probably has more than that stacked up, you know? Look!" She pulled off the earring she was wearing and tossed it outside. The boy pouted his lips and caught it. "...Huh." The boy stared at her with wide eyes. He gulped and looked back and forth between the earring and her. Then he grabbed it and ran off as he…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 59 The Viscount Muteso had returned. Count Roteroy lost his strength, staggered, and fell to the floor with a thud, while Aileen, who had been holding back, finally burst into tears. She had barely managed to hold back the tears that spilled out the moment she saw the hair. Aileen's lips trembled. The tightly closed door opened and Reston entered. "Your Grace. I believe I have done my part. I have bought us a week's time, so you—" "Leave the rest to me. Rozel will return…

Chapter 62 After a short while, everyone seemed to have regained their composure, so we properly began the meeting. "First, let's start with introductions. I am Deliana Acheim, who will be in charge of the city reconstruction plan from now on. Please introduce yourselves and your titles." First, Duce cleared his throat and offered his greeting. "Duce Roselan. I manage the residential district's land and personnel. Additionally, undeservedly, I have been appointed as the representative of…- 2.1 M • Completed
- Chapter 61 After a moment of fluster, I first calmly received Monica’s greeting. "Welcome, Miss Monica. It's snowing out, and you come without any notice…..." "Assassins attacked my territory!" "……Pardon?" And before my question was even finished, she explained her unfortunate circumstances in a cheerful tone that didn't match her appearance. In short, the assassins who had attacked the Marquis's territory had now come after her domain, causing great damage. The reason for…

Chapter 10 "Ah, Father?" At the low voice coming from not too far away, I flinched as if I'd been caught stealing and turned my head. Mysterious pale purple hair and the same blue eyes as mine. Roahim Edmund, the king of the mermaids and my father, stood quietly. Thump, thump. My heart was pounding so wildly I could hear it in my ears. Why is Father here at this hour...? Hiding my trembling pupils, I quickly withdrew my outstretched hand behind my back. Father was approaching me…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 09 The Sephern family villa. Returning to his room, Kairan searched his pocket and took out the glass bottle. The deep purple potion sparkled even in the darkness. A healing potion... He had vaguely expected her to be an unusual being, but he never dreamed she was a mage. Kairan looked at the potion and revisited the knowledge he had. "Did mages originally live in the water?" That wasn't written in any books. In fact, since it was such an ancient matter, he couldn't even…

- Chapter 08 How should I phrase it to better entice the witch? To learn about potions in earnest, I absolutely needed a teacher. However, most mermaids only learned enough magic to get by, so there weren't many specialized teachers. If I weren't the Princess, I probably would have just learned the basics from my parents. I cleared my throat and suppressed my nervousness. "I heard you make all kinds of potions, not just healing ones." "Well... since I'm the only mermaid in the kingdom…

- Chapter 07 An eerie energy emanated from the entrance. Before entering the village, Maya took out a light ball from her bag. It was the size of a small marble at first, but it quickly swelled to the size of a soccer ball and began emitting a bright light. "It's nice and bright, isn't it?" "Yeah. It's like a flashlight, I like it." "A flashlight?" "Oh, it's something similar to this." I poked at the floating sphere with my finger. Oh, it's squishy? It yielded to my touch, feeling…
