Chapter 11 "It's not stubbornness. I'm saying this because I truly believe I can do it." "Fine. Let's say I help you meet Duke Whistler somehow. The Duke is very different from me. If something irritates him, he might just slit your throat on the spot, you know?" It was frustrating that he didn't seem to consider even the possibility of her succeeding, but Alosha decided to understand the losses he could see as a merchant group head. "Alright. Then help me for just one month. If I die before that,…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
15. Suspicion At that same time. Soo-hee, who was sitting inside Chairman Han Hae-shik's executive suite, let out an annoyed sigh. "Dad. Are you really not going to call Oppa to come up?" Chairman Han, sitting at his desk working, stared deeply at his daughter. "It seems he was extremely angry because Chairman Cha made the contract behind his back. It's better to meet him after that filthy temper of his dies down a bit." "Then what are you going to do if he goes ahead and terminates the…- 1.2 M • Ongoing
Chapter 31 I Released Cola in Nortaris! (1) A meeting room without a single window. Thick cigarette smoke drifted over an old mahogany table. Marcus, chairman of the Gray Council, polished his monocle with a soft cloth as he spoke. "As everyone gathered here knows, our old friend Sir Edwin Blyton has met an unfortunate end and become a hangman. Let us observe a moment of silence in mourning." The reactions varied. Some quietly observed the silence, others clapped while sneering, and some maintained…- 2.8 M • Completed
Chapter 20 Scrooge felt both anxious and excited. He was worried the lord might demand expensive dresses with the newly gained funds, but he was also curious about what she’d say. “I want to make coats for the children. But we don’t have any fabric or a tailor available right now. Hunting for fur would be difficult, wouldn’t it?” “There are no hunters in our territory.” “Why not?” “Because no hunters can survive hunting in the Black Forest. No matter how much money you offer,…- 2.7 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 19 Baron Patrasche had read the letter carried by the messenger bird, which arrived at dawn, several times already, but still couldn’t bring himself to put it down. There were only a few lines, yet the contents were something he had never expected to read. Tap, tap, tap. His long index finger rhythmically tapped on the mahogany desk. It was originally the desk used by his older half-brother, the former lord of Grace. This desk had been passed down through generations of the family, and only…

- Chapter 18 The people still wore old, tattered clothes and looked emaciated, but compared to yesterday, they seemed noticeably more energetic and brighter. The fact that just a handful of grains and a few cream buns could bring them such joy filled her with both relief and a pang of guilt. “Steward.” “Yes, my lady.” Scrooge straightened his back and spoke with exaggerated dignity, apparently pleased that the lord of the estate was being well received by the villagers. “How many people…

- Chapter 17 Donghui tried her best not to look pathetic, but it was a question that could only sound pitiful no matter how it was asked. “Of course, this might be pocket change to you, Lord, but there are countless commoners who live on just 5 Bron a month.” How much is 1 Bron in Korean won, anyway? Donghui wracked her brain, but no answer came to mind. Left with no choice, she opted to play dumb once again. “What can you buy with 1 Bron?” “Hmm… about three slices of bread, a jug of goat…

- Chapter 16 Donghee turned slowly and looked into the mirror, reflecting on a past she didn’t even remember. Anna quickly wiped her damp cheeks with the back of her hand and rushed over to skillfully fix Chloe’s hair.She took the ribbon—which had only made Donghee more irritated just by holding it—and twisted it this way and that, forming a fantastic shape. Then, she swiftly braided the hair into several sections. Her hands moved so fast, they were almost a blur. “Wow, Anna! You’re really…

Chapter 15 “If you keep using that bow, you might permanently lose use of your arm.” Until high school, I was what you’d call a student athlete. A promising archer for my school. My dream was to one day compete in the Olympics and win a gold medal. But that dream was shattered in an instant. —My son was feeling really down and had a drink, okay? But miss, you were just standing around in the dark on the street too, right? So, huh? You share some of the blame too, don’t you? The drunk…- 1.1 M • Completed
- Chapter 14 Five-year-old Etias walked through the garden of Cambiut Palace with his nanny. Though dressed in mourning black, he was too young to grasp what his father’s death truly meant. —This flower… it’s pretty. Just like her. He reached out his small hand to touch it, when suddenly a dark shadow fell across his vision. Etias slowly turned around and saw a man standing behind him. The man’s face was shadowed ominously, backed by the cloud-darkened sky. —… The man slowly knelt to…
