Chapter 26 Fortunately, no one heard me shout "Sister-in-law!" The commotion around the herbal medicine shop drowned out my voice. The knights surrounding the building looked familiar. They were the Imperial Knights who had been stationed outside the Primitive Forest. "I was wondering why there were fewer knights watching the forest..." Verity muttered with obvious disappointment. As I narrowed my eyes, I spotted another familiar face. Isn't that the knight who got scolded by the Head…- 1.9 M • Ongoing
Chapter 36 “Huh?” Is he asking if he did well lifting me up? When did he get this strong? As I stood there with a dazed expression, Dedrick seemed disappointed that he didn’t get the reaction he expected. He mumbled hesitantly. “About the sparring earlier…” “Ah!” I had completely forgotten about it because I was so startled when he suddenly lifted me. I spread my arms wide and gave Dedrick a tight hug. “You did amazing! I was so shocked! I wanted to jump around while…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 25 Not just anyone could mine Empty Stones. If an ordinary person or even an animal came too close, their mana would contaminate the Empty Stone. Every human possessed mana. And then there were Aura and Holy Power, which were created by applying mana. Only when none of those three energies were present could a pure Empty Stone be mined. And that was also one of the conditions for becoming a Transcendent. That made one thing even clearer. All twelve prisoners sent to Exilium were…

- Chapter 35 Dedrick stepped forward with his left foot, extending his arm to strike Jacob’s neck with the wooden sword. Jacob effortlessly dodged by stepping back. With that, the sparring match began in earnest, both of them clashing their swords seriously. Clang! Clack! As they fought, Jacob constantly pointed out Dedrick’s weaknesses. “This time, attacking the legs would be more effective than using your arms.” “I’ll remember that.” “Straighten your back. Your wrist is too…

- Chapter 34 “Are you really okay with that?” “Is there anything more important?” Why is he asking me that? “Yeah. You should do what you think is important.” I sat down with Dedrick. “But, Didi, this might seem random, but your opinion matters the most to me. If you don’t want to be the successor or if you want to do something else, you can do that. Anytime. Okay?” “Okay.” “Just do what you want, Didi!” “I will.” I felt uneasy, like I was pressuring…

- Chapter 24 The date for the second trip to the Deste Territory was decided. They would leave in two days. Just like before, they would force their way through the Primitive Forest. The group would consist of five people, including Verity and me. Aunt Elva, the Pharmacist Who Whispers to Death. Uncle Pex, the Craftsman Who Unlocks the Forbidden. And finally, Libby, the Archmage Blessed by Demons. Aunt Elva wanted to personally investigate the herb supply problem. Uncle Pex, who had once…

- Chapter 33 Gemma stopped in her tracks and glared at the man named Arnold, as if she wanted to kill him. “Don’t call the Duchess by her name so casually.” “….” “We’re not the only ones at fault here. You’re not the only one holding the cards.” “But it’s true that it’s more favorable for me.” Gemma gritted her teeth, and the man shrugged lightly. “I’m not planning to do anything. I just want you to listen to my offer.” She turned around irritably and…

- Chapter 23 Fake Pocket Dimension The "Fake Pocket Dimension." It was a technique inspired by Verity's pocket dimension. I connected the inside of my pocket to an empty room in our house so I could store all kinds of things. "If opening and closing means connecting spaces... then it should work." But I had taken it one step further. "The truly important application is this." There was a small door built into one corner of my office. Behind it was a staircase leading underground. The…

- Chapter 32 Dedrick and I didn’t hear about Somerset until evening when Jenkinson relayed the news. “So, Somerset is currently…” “He’s under house arrest in his room.” “…” “The leader of the White Hawks has been dismissed as of today.” I muttered in surprise. “So, it was the wooden sword with the iron blade that caused his injury.” I gritted my teeth in anger upon hearing the truth from Jenkinson. “That bastard! Is that enough punishment?! Just house…

- Chapter 22 The revolution was never for herself... She only suggested it for our sake. From what Ian had seen, Hebenia didn't seem to care much about the Emperor. She would call him a terrible person and curse him as "that damn bastard," but that was as far as it went. Among everyone here... Only Hebenia treated the Emperor of the Empire—the man everyone feared—as if he were insignificant. Even without her memories... a Clavis is still a Clavis... Back when Ian had served as an…
