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…

Chapter 21 Why the Evil Dragon Remains Evil Late at night, under the bright moonlight, Ferda walked down the hallway illuminated by candlelight. ‘What a busy day this has been.’ The work that had piled up over decades of neglect wasn’t easy to deal with. ‘But thanks to Mori, things are progressing smoothly.’ The pace of work had far surpassed anything a human could achieve. At this rate, Ferda thought, they could clear all the pending tasks within a year. ‘My role is to assist so…

Chapter 20 Carrot and Stick “Is this a monster?” Jed looked down with a disgusted expression. Before him was a monster brought by Count Consilus’s soldiers: a bear monster, trapped inside a thick, sturdy stone container. Chains bound it tightly, and its joints had been broken and sealed. Even if it tried to move, it was completely powerless. “Yes,” Ferda replied. “I’ve never seen a monster before… I didn’t realize they were this disgusting,” Jed said, grimacing. “You sound…

Chapter 19 The Final Mana The fight between those who wield swords was intuitive and fair. That’s why gladiators still existed in Serdes. Swordsmen’s duels were easy to follow—simple, direct, and yet deeply strategic. Watching them maneuver and anticipate each other’s moves was surprisingly entertaining. The world of mages, however, was the opposite. Abstract. Merciless. Unequal. The gap between magic circles was painfully obvious. One mage advancing even a single circle higher could dominate…

Chapter 18 No Turning Back Ferda stood atop a lonely mountain peak. The only reason he had asked Ruri to bring him here was for one purpose—to observe Valdrova‘s battle. -ROAAAAAAR! A thunderous roar shook the heavens and the earth. Today, she had stopped the advance of more than a hundred monsters. In the past, he wouldn’t have even been able to breathe in a moment like this. But now, he gazed off into the distance with unparalleled calm, as if looking at some far-off mountain. ‘The…
