Chapter 06 The morning after the graduation ceremony, Rodia began her day at the Roart family mansion, located at 26-1 Grandel Street, with its white exterior walls. "Wow……." Rodia, who had woken up early out of habit, was mesmerized by the garden visible through the window. The snow that had fallen overnight lay thickly, sparkling in the sunlight. Wearing a cardigan over her pajamas, she stepped out onto the terrace of her bedroom. The wind brushing past her nose was chillingly…-

Chapter 05 About thirty minutes west of the capital city of Panyu in the Republic of Haint by carriage lay the city of Grantis. It was home to Promboat University, the most prestigious university in all of Haint. Admission was notoriously difficult, but graduating was even harder. As a result, most people in Haint regarded Promboat students as extraordinary geniuses. January, 1676. Today was Promboat University's graduation ceremony. "Say that again. How many points?" "I know,…

Chapter 04 “What do you mean it doesn't make sense?” “I literally just explained it!” Looking as though she might die of frustration, Rodia pounded her fist against her own chest. This was the very reason the conversation with Hystein had dragged on until late into the night. “According to Heint's national law, a legal guardian has the obligation to provide housing for their ward.” “Exactly, but that responsibility doesn't automatically mean we have to live…

Chapter 03 Rodia didn't know exactly what Damian had been thinking when he left his family. At the very least, she believed he hadn't run away. But when it mattered most—when she needed him more than ever—he wasn't there. That hurt more than anything. It felt as though she had been left all alone in the world. "Hey, Miss Prokheit. Calm down. Damian isn't dead. Not yet." "...But it's practically the same." Rodia sniffled. Come to think of it, the man sitting before her had…

Chapter 02 Rodia stared at him with a dumbfounded expression. "W-Wait a minute." She turned toward the security officer. "Are you saying Mr. Roat is Miss Prokheit's legal guardian?" The officer looked just as stunned as Rodia did. The man who had introduced himself as Histein Roat simply shrugged and smiled gently. "That's correct. Here—this is the notarized documentation from the law firm. Rather than calling it something grand like a legal guardian, you can think of it…

Chapter 01 It was a day of late winter rain. “I'm Anton Schnauder of the Panyu District 4 Security Corps. Are you Miss Rodia Prokheit?” Rodia couldn't understand why it was a city guardsman from Panyu—and not the university chancellor—who had come looking for her. Still, she obediently took out her identification card and handed it over. “Yes. I'm Rodia Prokheit.” The card displayed her photograph, national registration number, and the address of the dormitory…

Prologue It all began one morning with a single piece of mail delivered to Histein Roat's office. “Sir.” Histein, who had come to work earlier than usual, frowned as his secretary, Ricard, held out a thick envelope. It was an unexpected letter for so early in the morning. “It arrived from Attorney Donaus of Lombelli Law Firm.” Why would that troublesome, exhausting lawyer be contacting him? Using the letter opener lying on his desk, Histein broke the wax seal and unfolded the…

Chapter 25 "By the way, how long were you in this gloomy prison?" "No answer again." "Chun-Sam, if you don't answer me from now on every time I speak, I really won't just sit still." "...What if you don't?" "I'll call the guard. And I'll tell them that the person next to me is my husband, so please put us in the same cell." "What?" While he was too flustered to speak, Alosha began to elaborate on the story she had just blurted out. "Our wedding was held quietly in a small chapel…-

Chapter 24 Startled by the horde of dark-clad men rushing toward her, Alosha felt a terror that she would be killed on the spot if caught. Forgetting the pain, she sprang up and began to run. The hopeful circuit that she might not be caught because of her small stature if she could just get over the high wall had long since burned out. In any media, when you're running away like this, you're bound to collide with someone around a corner. Just like right now. "Kyaa!" Falling forward, Alosha…

Chapter 23 Emily, who had come early without notice, didn't say a word until the steam rising from the teacup on the table had completely dissipated. Feeling suffocated by the silence, Alosha let out a short sigh and decided to speak first. "So, what urgent matter brings you here so abruptly without any word beforehand?" At Alosha's grumbling tone, Emily smiled gently and set down her teacup. "I'm hurt. Do we really need separate notice between us?" When a handsome man deliberately acts…
