Chapter 17 "You did very well. Yes." "The market in Parnue is different from Marseon, so you found it more entertaining, did you?" "Why, why didn't you come even later? Since you were already late, you might as well have stayed another day." "...I was wrong, Uncle." "The delegation is visiting Heint on official business, so please do not address me by a personal title, Your Highness." Duke Filemer twisted his mustache with his finger and said gruffly. The Second Prince didn't like his…-

Chapter 16 At the muttering, Histein impiously snatched the letter from his superior's hand and read it. The contents of the letter were brief. The main point was that the Second Prince of Cheda, who had been in marriage talks with Astrid, the only legitimate daughter of the House of Chester, Heint's royal family, and the next Queen, would be visiting. Histein was dumbfounded. They had no intention of preserving the name of the former royal family, the House of Chester, before the next…

Chapter 15 Lodia was very busy. It wasn't that she was busy doing any particular work. It was because the second round written exam for the place officially named the 'Judiciary' was only ten days away. Before she knew it, the year had changed, and the end of January was just around the corner. Lodia, wearing a thick indoor dress but still cold, had wrapped herself in a blanket and was poring over books she had studied during her school days. "There's really no other way now!" Lodia felt…

Chapter 70 An Eye for an Eye “I don’t know exactly! They were wearing a hood, so I couldn’t see their face!” At those words, the knights exchanged uneasy glances. Did someone really order him to do it? When Loic narrowed his eyes as if telling him to go on, the man hurriedly continued. “I met them while drinking at the Wanton Tavern… maybe four days ago! I was grumbling about life over drinks when—” The man hesitated, clearly trying to choose his words carefully in front…-

Chapter 69 How to Ease the Heart There was a red line across her forehead—like a thin crack on glass. A mark left by the eggshell that scratched her skin. “It’s just a little scratch. It’ll disappear in a day or two.” As the Grand Duchess said that with a slight pout, Loic clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. He felt a deep sense of betrayal from the people of his territory. He had spent his entire life fighting to protect them as Duke of…

Chapter 14 Even before the Fleur Citizen's Revolution, the House of Chester's finances had been in poor condition. The national debt continued to grow due to the royal family's extravagance, and the treasury was emptied as if it had a hole in it. The nobles, too, squeezed taxes out of the commoners and indulged in their own luxury and dissipation. It was only natural that a revolution would occur. After the revolution, which had been stained with the blood of many, succeeded and the cabinet…

Chapter 68 Healing Magic “…I’m Enolius.” Enolius? I blinked blankly. Oh—Enolius, the mage from the Grand Duke’s castle. I didn’t expect to meet him here, in this place, at this hour. “I’m casting a healing spell, so don’t move.” But he was just sitting on a chair—not doing anything that looked magical. He wasn’t reaching his hand toward me, and I couldn’t see any magic circles or light. As if reading my thoughts, the mage narrowed his…

Chapter 13 Histein's private office in Vicebian Palace was a mess, cluttered with all sorts of documents. Rikart grimaced and found a chair among the papers to sit on. It hadn't even been a month since Histein had collapsed from overwork. Rikart had been forced to insert even minute-by-minute rest periods into his superior's schedule. "Thirty minutes is enough." "I didn't say anything?" Histein chuckled and soon focused on his work. However, it wasn't long before an uninvited guest…

Chapter 67 A Sudden Blow It was the same at the perfume shop we entered next. “You know how it is—if you stay on Her Highness’s good side, your business will thrive.” ‘Saying that out loud right now is probably just making things worse…’ But the baron was so eager, wiping sweat from his forehead and trying hard, that it felt awkward to stop him. “What are you waiting for? Go and assist Her Highness.” So the shopkeeper reluctantly introduced a few perfumes to me. None…

Chapter 12 Ten days later, just as Histein had forewarned and the job posting had stated, the application period began. Lodia submitted her application as soon as the registration office opened. When she submitted her former professor's letter of recommendation from her time at Prombote and the 'McKennan Prombote Medal' together with the other required documents, groans erupted from those around her. After all, with a letter of recommendation written by her professor herself and a Prombote…
