Chapter 31 An Obedient Dog “Wait a moment, Count Consilus! We are representatives of the Imperial family!” Karl tried to emphasize it again, hoping there was no misunderstanding. He wanted to make it clear that Consilus’s future career and prospects depended on them. Consilus patted Karl’s shoulder sympathetically. “You’ve come a long way. It must’ve been tough. To think the Empire would send you out here on such trivial matters.” “W-what are you saying…?” Wasn’t this…-

Chapter 30 What Do You Take Me For? Ferda tilted his head in confusion. “What does that have to do with plotting or instigating rebellion?” “It’s because you are arming soldiers through corporate sponsorships and constructing roads connecting to the Empire. Isn’t that clearly preparation for a smooth invasion?” That logic was absurd beyond reason. Ferda responded calmly. “Improving roads serves the purpose of facilitating supply lines, trade, and securing easier support from…

Chapter 29 When in the King’s Territory, Follow the King’s Laws That day, Ferda stood at the highest point and spotted a group riding toward Baldrova’s royal territory. There were about twenty of them, all mounted on horseback. Unless a horse was raised in the Far East, most would instinctively recoil at the presence of a dragon. Even though these horses were raised in the central area, they did not exhibit such resistance. They had been trained to charge into danger, even if it meant losing…

Chapter 28 The Purge Unit The title of “Sage” is one that cannot ever be self-proclaimed, as it is held to the strictest of standards. Among the known sages of the Serdes continent, Hellus Fobidas became a sage through an unusual path. This was because he was not from Escolaea, the city of scholars, nor was he a commoner-born magician expected to shine with innate genius. Hellus himself left behind this anecdote about how he became a sage: He said that one day, while sleeping as usual, he awoke…

Chapter 27 Because It’s Embarrassing Count Consillus was startled and asked again. “The Regent? You mean… Valdrova’s fiancé?” “We’re not entirely sure about the details either… But what’s clear is that he managed to convince Branch Manager Stefan Pascal. That man is not easily swayed, no matter someone’s rank or status.” “Ahh…” Count Consillus let out an involuntary sigh. Ferda Valdrova. What kind of image did he have now? It was the worst. So far, all he had…

Chapter 26 A Man Who Can Envision the Future “An… outrageous story, you say?” “Whether you believe what I’m about to say or not doesn’t matter. Just listen.” “A-all right.” Stefan straightened his posture, trying to focus just as Ferda had asked. Though he still felt a bit dizzy, he could pay attention. Ferda began calmly. “This is the future I envision.” He didn’t dramatize it. No exaggerations, no lofty speeches. Just a simple recounting of what he had seen,…

Chapter 25 Scents and Smells The banquet hall of Valdrova Castle. Ferda was watching the gathering knights from above. “Disgusting creatures.” Ruri, standing next to him and overlooking the banquet hall, muttered with disdain. “Your hatred for humans seems excessive,” Ferda commented. “It’s not hatred for humans. Those things are just revolting,” Ruri retorted, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief as if she couldn’t bear it any longer. “When I heard the…

Chapter 24 The Ability to Read People If you were to name the most renowned merchant in the Arken Empire, most people would mention Herman Pascal. Herman Pascal. He was a man who founded the Pascal Trading Company, named after his family name, and expanded it with the ambition of wielding influence not only within the empire but across the entire Serdes Continent. He had three children—two sons and one daughter—each of whom was called a prodigy as they grew up. However, the one who stood out…

Chapter 23 I Want to See Her Again “What did you do last night?” The question came from Jed. The man with brown hair looked down at one spot with a face full of disbelief. His gaze landed on Ferda, who was lying on the bed. “Nothing happened.” “Nothing? Does someone who’s perfectly fine lie motionless in bed like this?” Ferda could only move his face, his body limp from the neck down. Ferda always did his morning rounds. He hadn’t missed a single day, so his sudden absence was…

Chapter 22. You Want to Believe, Too Grrr—. The sound of a ferocious beast echoed from deep inside the lair. If anyone else had heard it, they would have undoubtedly described it as a chilling roar of fury. However, Ruri, standing inside the lair, knew what it meant. It was Valdrova’s groan. She was in pain. Instead of lying coiled as she should have been, Valdrova was sprawled flat on the floor. Her sharp claws scratched at the innocent ground as her body trembled…
