The vulnerable woman who had shared her sorrowful past was gone. With perfect posture and clicking heels, she walked toward the door. Before opening it and leaving the dressing room, Camilla added one last remark, a remark that made me catch my breath. “Enjoy the ball tonight. Things will be quite tedious from tomorrow.” *** The ballroom was magnificent. Sparkling chandeliers, marble floors so polished they reflected my face. A kaleidoscope of colorful dresses and gentlemen in equally…- 161.8 K • Ongoing
“No. I can’t cooperate.” Her answer was astoundingly bold. Anyone would think I’d suggested something outrageous. Frowning, I asked, “Then why did you tell me all this?” Was it just to ease her own conscience? Or a twisted plea for sympathy, a warning of worse to come? Camilla answered with calm elegance, like a seasoned prophetess. “This story will stop one way or another, even if I don’t interfere. It might be because the male lead already has feelings for you, or perhaps some…- 161.8 K • Ongoing
“Eat it while it’s hot. I won’t tell. Alright? I feel like you’re my sons.” Janna offered a warm smile, her inner thoughts far different. 'I’m not even married, let alone have sons, but who would suspect a plump, matronly cook like me?' As if on cue, one of the knights, glancing around nervously, spoke. “Would that be alright?” “Sir Kendal!” Another knight frowned, but the one called Sir Kendal said smoothly, “Sir Schneider, aren’t you a bit tired? We’re not in…- 250.6 K • Ongoing
- Several hours later, in the kitchens of the Kraus Duchy. Janna, the head cook, was alone, inspecting the kitchens when she received unexpected visitors. Four of the Emperor's knights. “Goodness me! What’s all this?” One of the knights answered coldly. “By order of His Majesty, we’ll be using the kitchens of the Kraus Duchy. We will prepare the food ourselves, so step aside. We will also be sampling all the ingredients.” “Oh my! By all means.” Janna wiped her hands on her…

“I might be presumptuous, but Edin wouldn’t want it either.” “It’s not presumptuous. His Majesty won’t allow anyone but Miss Lysei into his chambers.” “So, wouldn’t it be better if I became a Beta? Of course, not being able to see dark magic properly at a time like this would be a big problem. But Sir Jerga, you’re continuing to help with Luigia’s manifestation….” “That’s not the only problem.” “…?” “The biggest problem is His Majesty.” “…Why…- 65.9 K • Ongoing
‘Is it a new moon…?’ Eulia tilted her head back to look at the sky, where countless stars were densely packed, as if about to spill down. The view reminded her of the Star Palace. The Milky Way seemed even more magnificent now than it had then. “…Why did you decide to take me back to the Sephirothe estate?” Callias silently stared at the burning fire. Sparks flew, and red and yellow flames danced. After a long silence, his answer was surprisingly simple. “I…- 74.5 K • Ongoing
- “But… that can’t be. Callias would never…”“What is it? Do you have a problem going to the Sephirothe estate?”“No, no… It’s not that.” ‘ “Then stop chattering and close your mouth. You’ll bite your tongue if you keep talking like that while riding.” …I already bit it. Willingly, too… “Callias…” “What is it now?” “The Grand Duke said he gave me a Northern painkiller.” “…Yes, I can see that.” “I’m…

Nix sent Titchte back to her room. She needed to change out of her soiled clothes. Laundry and the meal were secondary concerns. Turning to Ascoshu, Nix gave a new order. “When was the tailor scheduled to visit the Half Moon Fortress, Ascoshu?” “The end of next month, Master, I believe.” “Have him come sooner. Or find another.” He then finished his meal quickly, barely tasting the food as he shovelled it down. “Today’s dessert is a trio of berries with cinnamon syrup, Master.…- 108.4 K • Ongoing
- They walked down a long corridor, their footsteps falling on patches of sunlight scattered through the windowpanes like spilled paint. The woman’s long skirt trailed behind her, sweeping the floor. Ascoshu longed to comment, but bit back the words, mindful of his earlier reprimand. “You’ve been waiting, Master.” Ascoshu announced as they entered a room where both doors stood wide open. Titchte, caught off guard, dipped her head in a hasty curtsy. She considered lifting her skirt but ultimately…

“That should be enough explanation.” Seir’s long and complicated story finally came to an end. Seir, Regan, and Ravi sat around a small table in a corner of the drawing-room. A tiny map lay on the table, a miniature replica of the painting that hung in the room with the fireplace. It looked like a serious strategy meeting. This was the result of Ravi tearfully pleading with the demon and the hunter, who had been glaring daggers at each other, to leave the room with her. “Hmm….” The problem…- 159.9 K • Ongoing
