Chapter 12 - Danger Well aware that some of the Shadows had already fallen into the empress’s hands, Zerga had assigned the Shadow commander and Trey to investigate the matter even before the rebellion began. The investigation had stalled when Lysei vanished from the imperial palace and the empress’s faction launched their revolt, but no one could have predicted the major disaster this delay would later cause. The empress’s side had bought off three Shadows in total. Acting on secret orders…- 65.9 K • Ongoing
“Don’t lower your guard. You’d best assume we’re walking into the lion’s den now.” “Yes, I suppose you’re right.” Callias urged the horse across the main road. They passed the commoners’ houses and headed for the low hill where the Sephirothe ducal estate was located. The closer they got to the manor, the more violently Eulia’s heart pounded. One by one, the faces of her family in the Sephirothe Duchy appeared in her mind. Their worried expressions, their sincere voices—it was…- 74.5 K • Ongoing
- “Fall back! Do not advance any further!” At Ehin’s command, the soldiers withdrew in perfect formation. The Winterhell knights gave chase, but the Grand Duke soon ordered a retreat as well. “That’s enough. All of you, return to the main force.” It was impossible for them, with their carriages, to pursue a cavalry unit. Besides, a fair amount of time had passed since the former crown prince and Eulia had departed; pursuit was no longer a viable option. At the Grand Duke’s order, the…

“The inside? Or the outside?” “Inside today, outside tomorrow.” The work began after she had finished serving the lord his meal. Ascosh had taught her that cleaning should be done when the master was absent, but Nix seemed to have no intention of going out. “Sir, I’m here to clean the office windows today.” She appeared carrying a sloshing pail. The man looked up from his documents, blinking in surprise. He gave a silent nod and then buried his head in the papers again. He propped…- 108.4 K • Ongoing
- He had never observed a grown lady’s slender bare legs from such a close distance. For a reason as simple as that, his face flushed. The skirt she wanted him to judge didn’t even register in his eyes; his entire mind was fixated on the skin revealed beneath it. The hair that should have been there was absent. Titchte’s eyebrows and hair were certainly black, yet her legs were smoother and more indistinct than those of a blonde, hairy man. It wasn’t just the hair that was missing. The defined…

Seir watched the scene unfold from a distance. Leaning against a window in one of the buildings surrounding the tower, his vantage point allowed him to see almost everything. “No, I’m saying—” Ravi’s voice, rising in pitch as she passionately argued her point, drifted over to him in fragments. Judging by the way she was jumping up and down in contrast to the hunter’s patently annoyed demeanor, the little coward was getting worked up over some useless worry again. ‘Looks like she…- 159.9 K • Ongoing
- “…Hngh.” Ravi craned her neck back, staring up at the colossal tower that soared to dizzying heights. Located in the very center of the academy, it was an ugly, monstrous thing—so much so that it was a wonder she’d never paid it any mind before. Compared to the other buildings, carved from brilliant marble, the tower of gloomy steel looked as if it were shrouded in its own dark clouds, even under the clear sky. In other words, it looked exactly like the kind of place a final boss would be…

Feeling more nervous than usual about this report, Beck wet her lips with her tongue and spoke. “An urgent report, Your Majesty. Just now, Leah Windsor deliberately approached Lady Louisa. They spoke for approximately fifteen minutes.” “……What?” Snap. The pen in Adel’s hand broke under the pressure. He looked at Beck, raising his eyebrows as if he’d heard nonsense. “And you just stood by and watched?” “My apologies. It was what Lady Louisa wished.” It came out…- 156.5 K • Ongoing
- “Louisa. I truly had no idea. That he would blatantly put you in my old place.” “….” “It’s obvious, isn’t it? Calling you his savior, or whatever else. Please, don’t fall for it. He said the same things to me. It’s all lies.” Listening to Leah, a strange nausea churned in my stomach. No, to be more precise… This feels disgusting. Until now, the ‘original story’ had just been a tale I’d heard from a friend, or perhaps a prophecy that had little to do with me.…

“Sir Kendall!” Another knight immediately scowled, but the one called Kendall replied smoothly, “Sir Schreier, aren’t you tired as well? It’s not as if we’re in Rajput.” “His Majesty’s orders were to maintain a state of high alert.” “But as she said, that’s a matter for our betters, isn’t it?” “That’s right, that’s right. Sir Schreier? You sit down and have some, too. I said I’ll keep it a secret. Go on.” With Janna chiming in, Schreier seemed at a loss…- 250.6 K • Ongoing
