Chapter 13 Chester spoke coldly to the stunned Malenda. "You've been embezzling quite diligently all this time. Did you take my instruction to take full charge of Kailus as permission to steal even the money meant for him?" "It's a misunderstanding! I—!" "Enough." Chester snapped his fingers, and Enzo, who had been waiting nearby, handed her a large document envelope. "You're fired, Malenda Margo. No letter of recommendation. Instead, I'll give you this." Malenda's eyes widened…- 1.3 M • Ongoing
Chapter 40 “Twins?” Bendia was surprised at Ron’s explanation, but immediately accepted it. The two really did look almost identical. The only differences were height, build, and hair length. “Pfft, hahaha—puuuh…!” “Stop laughing and come with me.” Dragging along the still-giggling twin, Ron left the office. After the whirlwind that had just blown through, Bendia sat there looking dumbfounded. “Ah, I really need to thank Grandpa. To think I’d get to see…- 1.2 M • Ongoing
Chapter 13 "Ah, the underground dungeon." Well, that's the only place a failed assassin would be taken. I glanced briefly at Senior Jake, who was nodding and snorting with excitement at his own deduction, as if pleased with himself. He's surprisingly well-connected and knows a lot. Just then, Senior Jake's pot-lid-sized hand slapped my back once more. "Ow! Why'd you hit me?!" "So, rookie, did you see anything or not?!" "I'm not an animal—use your words!" "Your senior is…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 12 The office where Runnelk Ains had left. Killian poured a full glass of spirits into a crystal goblet. *Gurgle.* As the transparent brown liquid filled the glass, a man revealed himself. "Your Grace." It was DuPont Clansher, who had been hiding in the secret space adjacent to the office. Killian slightly raised one eyebrow in response to his subordinate's call. "Why did you give such an order?" Having witnessed the entire situation from behind the device that…

- Chapter 11 Hot blood pulsed through his veins, seething beneath his skin. The symptoms had begun in earnest earlier today. The Green Trading Company's head had triggered the blood fury that had been slowly simmering for some time. Because of a single moth that recklessly charged in without regard for its own life, the period his limbs secretly called the 'Eclipse' had begun far earlier than scheduled. Though it was a sudden onset of rampage, the feeling of all the power and blood in his…

- Chapter 15 To briefly explain the layout of the main building, which was shaped like a wide, sprawling 'ㄷ' (digut), it was as follows. The east wing, which caught the morning sun well, housed the ward and the office spaces for the Duke's direct family. In other words, since Killian had no wife or heir, aside from the ward on the first floor, it was mostly empty. Meanwhile, the central section of the main building facing south had the Duke's private quarters on the second floor, and above…

- Chapter 39 “ M-Master.” Chris knocked on the parlor door and waited, but no reply came. With no choice, he carefully turned the doorknob. As he stepped inside through the softly opening door, he saw Bendia lying awkwardly on the sofa, fast asleep. She must have dozed off for a moment after being so busy every day preparing for the shop’s opening. Without hesitation, Chris approached the sleeping Bendia. Papers were scattered across the table. He gathered them together, set them aside, and…

- Chapter 14 It couldn't be helped, even if it was crude and rough. Right now, I had nothing—no well-laid information network, no skilled informants. *'And Senior Jake seems like he might know something, too.'* As if sensing my expectant gaze, Senior Jake crooked one finger, signaling me to come closer. I quickly leaned my head toward him and pricked up my ears. "Rookie." "Yes?" "If you know, you get hurt." "...If I don't know, then just forget it." I was an idiot for…

Chapter 67 “Uh…” Before he could even grasp what was happening, Monica flew toward Edwin. It was a speed so fast that even Edwin in his prime wouldn’t have been able to react. “Keu-heok!” Monica’s foot slammed relentlessly into Edwin’s chest. The impact was strong enough to momentarily stop his breathing, sending him helplessly rolling across the floor. Seeing him down, Monica pulled a small dagger from her waist and threw it toward Edwin’s hand. “Aaargh!” The mana-infused…- 2.1 M • Completed
Chapter 10 I nodded to myself and kept walking. I had no idea where I was, but I just walked. I figured if I kept going, I’d eventually find a place to rest. No matter how angry the emperor was at what I’d done, he didn’t seem like the type to casually discard his only shield. If I disappeared, Kiseira would once again become the sole imperial grandchild. ‘Even if I get confined again, well… it’ll be fine. I already know how to get out.’ Yeah. I’ll just hide in the imperial…- 2.7 M • Ongoing
