Chapter 11 “Just Feel It Again.” There’s a story about blind men and an elephant. To sum it up, three blind men were asked to touch different parts of an elephant and describe what it was. Of course, all of their answers were different. The moral of the story is that you can’t judge the whole based on just a part. However, there are times when something is so clear and obvious that just seeing a part of it is enough to grasp the whole. For Ferda, that moment came when he…-

Chapter 62 Even though she had brought him inside just to avoid the neighbors' prying eyes, facing him in such an enclosed space made it hard for Seo-ah to breathe. It was especially suffocating seeing Taehyuk's gaze linger on the exact spot where they had shared a kiss before. "I-I'll get you some... coffee." The words slipped out before she could stop herself, and a faint smile touched Taehyuk's lips. "I'd appreciate that." Seo-ah immediately regretted it, but under the light, Taehyuk's face looked…-

Chapter 61 Taehyuk fell completely silent. —I lived my entire life for you. But... the way you look at me now... you look so sad. I just can't bear the thought that my own broken self made you this unhappy. "Ha..." Taehyuk ran a heavy hand back through his hair. “If you drag Seo-ah back to you using nothing but your own desires, she’s going to rot away in the end, too.” Right after his mother's words, Su-bin flashed through his mind—the little girl for whom Seo-ah was the absolute center of…

Chapter 52 The black ropes surrounding the empty houses began to ripple with a bluish glow. The brighter the light became... The more violently the ropes swayed. Then, at last... They began to rise into the sky. Each rope stopped at a different height. The future fire station stopped at the height of three stories. The library rose even higher, about five stories. And the training grounds, which had been marked last... Stopped at an even greater height. Streams of light poured down…-

Chapter 51 As soon as I heard that the flames had turned white... A strange certainty filled my mind. 'Huh... Could it be that Libby Unni has become stronger too?' The reason that thought came to me was because of something I had learned in science class back in school. 'Flames change color depending on their temperature.' Most people think of fire as being red. But surprisingly, red flames are actually the coolest. The hotter a flame becomes... The whiter it burns. Just as I…

Chapter 10 “Dragon’s Breath.” A month passed. With just three days left until the engagement ceremony with Princess Valdrova, Ruri pointed at paper and a pen with a face full of discontent. “Write a vow for the engagement ceremony, please.” “Don’t they already have something for that? Some kind of template?” “They do… but…” Ruri swallowed a sigh, holding it back from escaping her throat like a dragon’s breath. “Since this is an unofficial engagement, the…

Chapter 60 "W-what..." The woman glared viciously at Seo-ah. "She ran off after stealing my money, and now she's dead! My money!" "Ha..." Seo-ah swayed on her feet. Young-ran's end was so fittingly her. Before Seo-ah could collapse from the sheer shame and heartbreak, Taehyuk rushed over and caught her in his arms. Held tightly against his chest, Seo-ah lost consciousness, hot tears streaming down the corners of her eyes. Seo-ah couldn't clearly remember what happened after that. A mob of creditors…

Chapter 59 Seo-ah turned back toward him, her voice crystal clear and radiating a sub-zero chill. He hadn't moved an inch. "No." "Would you actually listen to me if I got down on my knees?" His words made Seo-ah's eyes quiver in disbelief. This man... kneeling in front of me? His tall frame, his crisp, immaculate appearance, the disciplined yet graceful air of a trained soldier, and those dark eyes locking squarely onto hers—she hated all of it. She hated the idea of him showing weakness in front of…

Chapter 9 “Like a Deep Lake.” After Tesalos Welcher died, all the lords boarded their carriages and left. The only ones remaining in the assembly hall were Ruri and Ferda. “You were truly remarkable.” Looking up at Ferda, Ruri clapped her small hands. “You’ve clearly demonstrated who holds the upper hand today. Incredible. Your political skills are beyond artistic—an actual masterpiece.” Then, with both hands, she raised her thumbs, performing what one might call a…

Chapter 58 "Ah..." Seo-ah clamped both hands over her mouth. Even though Su-bin had fallen asleep after taking her medicine—and usually slept so soundly that you could carry her off on your back without her noticing—you never knew. Seo-ah clenched her jaw until her teeth ached, terrified that a single moan might slip out. Yet Taehyuk, who was sending wild, crashing waves through her body, didn't seem to care about her predicament at all. Seo-ah lifted her head weakly. His lips were trailing up from…
