~Chapter 13~ “Your Grace?” “No, it’s nothing.” He roughly scratched the back of his head. ‘No way.’ She’s just a child born and raised in a remote village. She’s probably just not familiar with imperial clocks. ‘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. “W-what is this?” The burly maid sisters suddenly showed up holding…-

~Chapter 12~ “Wow, Father, look at this!” Void held up the gold-bordered card as if it were a treasure. The bug-chewing look on Uncle’s face while watching that was priceless… “If you liked it that much, why didn’t you buy it earlier?” When I asked casually, Void turned his head. “This was only sold in the capital for a limited time. You can’t get it in the North.” “You could’ve just written to the duke and asked him to buy it.” “As if I could say something like…

~Chapter 11~ “Uh…” His eyes widened a little when he saw me. His smooth lips twitched slightly, and then he leaned to whisper to the attendant beside him. “Hey.” “Yes, young master.” “…Something feels weird with her here.” Even with his hand over his mouth, I could hear it all. ‘So, the new stone is bothering him!’ If I want to adapt here safely, I need to get along with him too! I swallowed nervously. ‘Of course, I have my ultimate item.’ I had prepared something…

~Chapter 10~ But the young lord merely grinned, his round eyes, taller than mine by a head, curling teasingly. “Enough with the greetings—let’s get inside. The wind grows chilly as the sun sets.” Leviathan gently rested his hand atop both mine and Void’s heads, then furrowed his brow. “The height difference…” It was quite noticeable. Though he muttered under his breath, I was too focused on watching Void. “And the late duke?” At Leviathan’s question, a dignified butler wearing…

~Chapter 9~ “What is this?” “What do you mean?” “…Hell?” “It’s my domain.” Leviathan pressed his forehead gently against mine. I gazed blankly over the vast expanse before us. My short hair fluttered softly in the desolate northern wind. “Nothing but rocks?” “I told you.” A gloomy dust cloud rolled along. The lord’s territory, filled with ash-gray stone walls, resembled, frankly, the ruins of a fallen kingdom. No offense to those who lived there, of course. The…

~Chapter 8~ “Do not touch it.” “Huh?” “I know it looks pretty…but it’s poisonous.” Leviathan’s brow furrowed deeply as he pushed me away. “Sybelita Herb.” “Oh, that one…” I started to correct him but stopped myself. Abelita and Sybelita—two herbs with eerily similar names and appearances. Though a closer look revealed every detail was different… ‘To the untrained eye, they probably look the same.’ The greatest distinction lay in the blue magical aura enveloping…

~Chapter 7~ Wait, hold on.What’s going on here? “Stop it already.” I sat at the edge of the road, holding my aching stomach and opened my eyes wide.Did the man finally get tired of me? —No, that wasn’t it.The one who cut me off with a cold presence was… Sir Leon, the blue-haired knight standing next to him — the uncle’s aide. “His Grace hasn’t slept for days.” He looked at me with strict eyes. We were on the road heading north from the capital in a carriage.I was…

~Chapter 6~ “Yeah.” He answered without a moment’s hesitation. “……” I peeked out from under the crinkly blanket with only my eyes, and the man sighed deeply when he looked at me. “Your eyes and the back of your head must have a problem.” “I don’t get what you mean.” “Me neither.” He sounded resigned, his voice dragging. Even though I had a fever and my body felt hot, I couldn’t stop smiling. It just made me happy to hear that he had come to find me. I grabbed a bunch…

~Chapter 5~ I was terrified. Absolutely terrified. ‘I can’t let them test my mana!’ It was because, after lunch, Teacher Eurice had suddenly come by and said that all new children had to undergo mana inspection. ‘I can’t let them find out I’m a mage. Not here.’ So I locked myself in the restroom, pretending I had a stomachache. Sitting on the toilet lid, I recalled the words Teacher Eurice had muttered to herself. “They say the one they’re after is a girl mage… But really,…

~Chapter 4~ Lady Eurice, overseer of the Imperial Rieta Orphanage, widened her eyes. “Your Grace?” It was because of the sudden appearance of Leviathan Jebert, looking disheveled. He had been her classmate back in the Academy. “What on earth is the matter?” She had never seen him so frantic before. His pristine dress uniform was badly wrinkled, his black hair soaked through with rain. The great knight himself was panting for breath—how far had he run? “I heard there was a…
