Chapter 4 “…….” When he clenched his hand, I took a step back, smiling awkwardly. “Sorry…….” “…….” He kept his head down, gripping the fork tightly with his reddened hand, and began twirling the pasta. The noodles looked springy and perfect on the outside. It looked delicious. I could feel Dedrick sneaking glances at me. “Is it awkward? Should I just crawl into the closet?” Instead of answering, he hesitated with the fork full of noodles mid-air,…-

Chapter 3 Seeing no intention to open the door, I quietly lay down inside the wardrobe. There was no need to force my way out and upset Dedrick. As a wardrobe monster, being locked inside wasn’t scary—rather, it felt cozy and comfortable. With my body and mind at ease, I drifted into thought. ‘Why is Dedrick so wary of me?’ …The answer was simple: because he didn’t know me. Of course, I never explained who I was to him. People naturally become cautious around the unknown. So, maybe…

Chapter 2 “What are you doing? Let’s go.” “……” “Are you refusing?” 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… ‘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. But…

Chapter 1 “Ugh…” A faint groan slipped out from behind the wardrobe. As soon as I arrived at the wardrobe, I heard the sound and cautiously opened the door. Creeeak… Through the small gap, I saw a boy curled up and trembling. ‘That kid…’ Why is he here? As confusion swept over me, the faces of two boys, greedy and cruel, flashed through my mind. My brow furrowed tightly on its own. ‘They bullied him again, didn’t they?’ Normally, I would have ignored the…

Chapter 4 After everyone had cried their hearts out... “Hebenia, are you hungry?” “We made some stew.” “Oh dear, look how pale you are. Come eat and get your strength back.” Maybe they felt embarrassed after crying in front of me. The adults quickly took me downstairs to the dining room, saying it was time to eat. They carried me the whole way. As soon as I sat down, a bowl of cream stew was placed in front of me. It was full of meat and vegetables. Just looking at it…-

Chapter 40 The First Secret Plan (4) When the unconscious Serena woke up again, the first scene she saw was an ominous altar. An altar probably built from piled bones. An unidentifiable magic circle drawn on top of it. Even an old man with a spider beard kneeling in prayer. “Ah.” She should’ve just stayed unconscious. What wealth and glory was worth waking up for? No. She couldn’t give up on life like this. Right now the old man was distracted, absorbed in prayer. If heavenly luck…-

Chapter 39 The First Secret Plan (3) Violence is frightening to everyone. Serena was also afraid of violence. However, simple violence could be wielded by anyone. The violence of the outlaws Serena faced was essentially no different from an eight-year-old child stepping on and killing a bug. Truly childish and utterly shallow show of force. On the other hand, what about Penelope? Penelope had made Blyton, her competitor, ‘commit suicide’ using her family. She absorbed the cream of the business…

Chapter 3 A few days earlier... The day I was punched by the guards. Hebenia made a wish to the demon. "Please save me... and all the prisoners." "Do you want me to let you leave this place?" The demon asked again, as always, after being summoned while taking a bath. "No." "We're staying here." "I don't understand. If you stay here, you'll definitely die..." "The prisoners are precious to me." "But they're also criminals who committed crimes." They had to serve the rest of their…

Chapter 38 The First Secret Plan (2) There was a commotion from dawn. “Serena disappeared?” Penelope, who had been fixing her disheveled hair in a half-asleep state, rushed out with a feeling like cold water had been dumped on her the moment she heard Manager Ritz’s message. When she arrived at the workshop by car, Jurgen and the Renoir Workshop employees were already having a conversation with dark expressions. Penelope practically ran to squeeze herself between them. “What…

Chapter 37 The First Secret Plan (1) Branch Manager Belheim carefully reviewed the document containing the ‘secret plan.’ Jurgen occasionally answered his questions. About 30 minutes later. “This is a sharply painful blow.” Branch Manager Belheim stroked his beard and smiled. His gaze was fixed intently on Jurgen. “This may be an impertinent question, but… Mr. Jurgen, do you have a particular family you’re hostile toward?” “I don’t have any in particular.” “Hmm, I see. If…
