“Yipe!” Instead of pain, there was only the agonized cry of a beast. When Tania opened her eyes, she saw Ethan, scabbard in hand, striking the creature once more. “Ethan?” “My lady, we have to get out of here, now!” “But… but…” I want to, but there are too many people! Ethan bit his lip in frustration. He couldn’t even draw his sword from its sheath; the moment he did, he risked cutting down innocent civilians. The crowd was that dense. One might have expected people…- 34.2 K • Ongoing
A faint smile touched Aiden’s lips at the sight of Benedict’s bewildered face. “Surprised that I know everything?” “How…” The voice he managed to squeeze out trembled precariously. Aiden slowly tapped his fingers on the tabletop. “Does it matter how I found out? What’s important is the fact that Elena has never, not for a single moment, loved you.” “!” “So there’s nothing between you two but a contract, is there?” In an instant, all expression vanished…- 110.7 K • Ongoing
- Benedict had seen him in a mock negotiation during their military negotiation strategy class. Even though his own hand had been weaker than his opponent’s, the opponent had ended up conceding. It was because Aiden had played a strong hand, making it seem as if he had the upper hand in the negotiation. It’s a bluffing strategy. Benedict had always preferred a direct approach. So, even though Aiden had received high marks in the class, he hadn’t been particularly fond of the strategy he’d used.…

“That’s right! Archbishop Heil often made negative remarks about the Aviche family!” False witnesses, false testimony. Everything was designed to corner him. He denied it to the end, but it was no use. Even Cardinal Lucifer, who presided over the great cathedral, stepped forward personally. “Archbishop Heil, I have long suspected your corruption, but I never imagined it ran this deep.” His tone was one of profound, sorrowful regret. “This is a decree from His Holiness the Pope. Archbishop…- 123.0 K • Ongoing
- The hall erupted into an uproar. “To think they dared to mock the name of Aviche!” “A spy sent from the temple?” Viscount Hoar’s and Berta’s faces were stony. “Everyone, please, calm yourselves.” It was bad enough they had been deceived by a spy, but now it seemed they had unwittingly set the stage for Katrina’s triumph. “Infuriating as this is, we must leverage it to our advantage.” After all, the most important matter remained. “Wouldn't this allow us to…

The special medical unit, located on the twelfth basement level of the annex, was typically reserved for espers with problems severe enough to warrant confinement or for guides in critical condition. But as everyone knew just how extraordinary a guide Hee-yoon was, this secluded location was deemed appropriate to keep her away from prying eyes. The four men, who had been staring down the empty hallway where Hee-yoon had disappeared, quickly snapped back to their senses. “Let’s go to the director.…- 116.5 K • Ongoing
- The dim room, lit only by a soft lamp, was sweltering with the heat radiating from the two of them. Hee-yoon's teammates had been taking turns sparring with her for the training she’d initiated. With her exceptional control over her guiding energy, it didn't take long for Hee-yoon to grasp the method that produced the opposite effect, thanks to the materials Do-jin and Hae-jun had found for her. While conventional guiding soothed the violently fluctuating waves of an esper who had overused their…

Their bout of running around seemed to have ended, as Cynthia was now stalking toward them with heavy steps. She looked both embarrassed and annoyed, while Derek, clueless as ever, followed closely behind her. Seeing Cynthia raise a hand to cover her face, he guessed Derek must have pointed out her blush. He was smiling to himself, already thinking of ways to tease them again, when Karen spoke at his side. “So when they’re alone, I should just watch from afar like this, or walk past pretending not…- 58.7 K • Ongoing
- Observing the entire spectacle from a distance, Duke Stephan of the Adelheit Duchy clicked his tongue. “They look absolutely smitten. And they still claim they’re not a couple?” The fact that they could act that way while insisting they weren’t romantically involved was, admittedly, the most amusing part. Still, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of fascination and disbelief. It wasn’t as if some unspoken tragedy was keeping them apart. Derek was simply dense and emotionally inept, likely…

"You'd do the same." "It's different for me. Do you really think the Empress would leave me in peace?" "Ah." "Well, don't worry. No matter what, I'll find a way to protect you." As Lysei spoke with a faint smile, Luigia's eyes widened. "Wow, sister. I'm… I'm so incredibly touched…" "Don't be so dramatic. Ah, that reminds me. You should join my sword practice with Sir Trey." "What? Me?" "You never know. You should at least learn how to swing a sword." "But I never learned in…- 65.9 K • Ongoing
