Chapter 18 Competition is Not Fair (1) If one were to compare human relationships to chemical reactions. The pitch-black night would be like a catalyst that promotes such chemical reactions. For instance, a man and woman who are attracted to each other would share sweet whispers of love, and when a defenseless passerby meets a robber, they would engage in a cordial monetary transaction. And when the branch manager of ‘Devon Trust Bank’ and a city council senator meet under the moonlight, they…-

Chapter 37 A Life Like a Fly The magical investigator, Yuren, turned his gaze to Ferda, suspicion evident in his eyes. “Apologies, Regent, but may I ask where you obtained this?” Ferda replied calmly, “It was found in the estate of Count Consilus. Apparently, a foreigner tried to hide their identity but was caught by the guards.” “And that heretic?” “They bit their tongue and died before any interrogation could take place. The body was burned to prevent any magical effects…-

Chapter 19 Competition is Not Fair (2) The nobles of Britannia are generally capable. What made Britannia the great power it is today was a cruelly thorough meritocracy. Those who try to show off with only their noble bloodline will be beaten by everyone. Therefore, the nobles of Britannia always polish and refine themselves. If the social circles where such nobles gathered operated on simple and childish logic alone, that would be the stranger thing. Penelope hadn’t been ostracized by social…

Chapter 30 What Do You Take Me For? Ferda tilted his head in confusion. “What does that have to do with plotting or instigating rebellion?” “It’s because you are arming soldiers through corporate sponsorships and constructing roads connecting to the Empire. Isn’t that clearly preparation for a smooth invasion?” That logic was absurd beyond reason. Ferda responded calmly. “Improving roads serves the purpose of facilitating supply lines, trade, and securing easier support from…

Chapter 8 Ugly Flower (4) “…Haa.” Penelope dragged her heavy feet as if they weighed a thousand pounds. Penelope is basically an active person. Given that horseback riding and hunting were her hobbies, one night of camping outdoors wasn’t worth complaining about. The deflated sighs constantly leaking out were due to the disgraceful behavior she had shown Jurgen this morning. Should she have apologized more properly? But nobles don’t apologize to commoners. At most, with the greatest…

Chapter 11 Ugly Flower (7) 6 AM. The luxurious private suite at The Richfield Hotel. Penelope’s somewhat early morning begins. Penelope took off her sleeping cap and turned off the loudly ringing alarm clock. “Yaaawn…” She yawned languidly and stretched thoroughly. When she pressed the switch by her bedside, the blackout curtains smoothly drew back, revealing the view of Lichfield Square. The sky changing from deep navy blue to pale orange. Lamplighters carrying long poles, going around…

Chapter 27 A Rose That Falls Gracefully (1) The process of alchemy activation is as follows. First, the caster uses their magic power to draw out the power of elements from the alchemy catalyst. The drawn elements pass through magic circuits and are constructed in a certain form—this refined power is called a ‘Code.’ For instance, even using the same Wind Feather, if you only use the ‘discharge’ code, it becomes ‘Calling Wind’ that raises strong winds. If you overlay two codes like…

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 43 If Good Comes, Evil Does Not; If Evil Comes, Good Does Not (1) Leaving the always bustling Lichfield Square and riding a carriage east for about 10 minutes. The city’s noise subsided at some point, and soon a completely different landscape unfolded. Commonly called ‘Maple Garden’. It wasn’t an actual garden, but a name attached to Nortaris’s emerging affluent district. Carriages and vehicles traveled over well-maintained roads without a single cracked or split brick. Beneath…
