      by Atlas Haven — Chapter 14 ā€œUghā€¦ā€ Axel let out a groan as his hair was pulled. Ignoring him, I grabbed his head and dragged him off the bed. ā€œAaaah!ā€ Thud! When he rolled off the bed, I gave him a hard kick to the backside. Whack! ā€œOuch! W-Who’s there?! Who is it?!ā€ Axel screamed, yanking at the bell rope frantically. A maid, startled awake, rushed in. ā€œOh no, young master Axel!ā€ ā€œThere’s… there’s someone here! Someone pulled my hair and kicked me in the butt!ā€ ā€œUm… Did…

Let’s go.ā€ ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€ ā€œAre you refusing?ā€ Dedrick hesitated before getting up, knowing full well that refusal would only provoke a barrage of insults from him. I prepared to follow Dedrick out of the room as well. Though I couldn’t stay outside the wardrobe for long… ā€˜Still, I should be able to manage for about an hour, right?’ If there were wardrobes in the dining room, I could have traveled there directly and observed from inside.

I’m lonely… Stay with me for a while.ā€ I rejected him without hesitation. What kind of cheap trick was this? At leastĀ youĀ have your…

      by Daily Meow — ~Chapter 18~ ā€œAh!ā€ ā€œWhy do you keep barging in when someone’s eating…!ā€ Uncle stood up abruptly, looking genuinely annoyed. Wait—how could that thick, heavy door break apart like a piece of paper? ā€œWhere is she?!ā€ The voice roared like a wild beast. ā€˜An angry lion!’ Stepping over the broken door appeared an elderly man with a full head of white hair and eyes glowing cold blue. His huge mouth was open wide. A wild beast had appeared! ā€˜The Grand Duke of Jebert!’ His huge…

      by Daily Meow — ~Chapter 13~ ā€œYour Grace?ā€ ā€œNo, it’s nothing.ā€ He roughly scratched the back of his head. ā€˜No way.’ She’s just a child born and raised in a remote village. She’s probably just not familiar with imperial clocks. ā€˜Looks like I’m the one still wandering the battlefield.’ A faint, self-mocking smile brushed over his relaxed face for just an instant—so brief no one could notice. I was startled. ā€œW-what is this?ā€ The burly maid sisters suddenly showed up holding…

Didn’t you say she finished her meal? You should have told me she was having a snack! You don’t disturb even a dog while it’s eating!ā€ ā€œI… did not think to account for Lady Ruby’s snack schedule.ā€ Drip, drip. I could almost hear the sound of Butler Morris’s sweat hitting the floor. ā€œWhat are you just…

When I asked if he was okay, he brushed it off, saying he was just a little tired because of the diplomatic envoys. ā€œHas he been more stressed than I thought?ā€ I asked Cecilia, and she nodded with a knowing look. ā€œI heard from my father.
