His violet eyes finally flickered with a spark of something that, from his words, might have been mistaken for affection. Even in her dazed state, Leah knew better. His tone betrayed him. He saw her as nothing more than a tool, a subject for his experiments. As if to confirm her suspicions, the man, Noah, continued, a smirk playing on his lips. “You show promise as an alchemist. Perfect for my experiments. If he's just going to keep you locked up like this, he should sell you to…- 156.5 K • Ongoing
Leah Windsor vividly remembered the moment she died. Death had descended upon her silently, without warning. “Gasp!” A sudden, vice-like pain gripped her chest, creeping towards her heart. She pounded her weakening fist against her breast, but the suffocating pressure remained. “Ugh…” Leah crawled desperately forward. A cold, metallic touch met her trembling fingers. Ting, ting— Her unkempt nails scraped against the bars of a cage. The pain intensified, spreading from her…- 156.5 K • Ongoing
“…….” A faint shiver ran down Lilibet's arm. 'As an honorable member of the House of Kraus…' 'To become a proud Kraus…' This was how Lilibet had been raised and educated. But the more she learned, the deeper the darkness of Kraus became. The underbelly of the ducal house, just like any other family, or perhaps even more so, was stained with blood. '...But that's what it means to be above others.' Lilibet gripped the vial tightly. Seeing her eyes, which seemed to flicker like…- 250.6 K • Ongoing
- “…….” At his words, Adillot, about to turn away, hesitated. His face, beyond astonishment, was utterly blank. Even the knights, for whom maintaining a stern, impassive expression was a virtue, stared at Lilibet with appalled faces. Lilibet spoke as if oblivious to their reactions. “Your Majesty and Miss Mia are not a beneficial pairing. Hasn't today's incident made that clear?” “Are you out of your mind?” “Of course not. I'm sane enough to know that marrying me and uniting…

“….” I was embarrassed by the praise, something I’d never heard even from my always-supportive grandfather. The reason El’s words made me blush was because I sensed his sincerity; he wasn’t just saying things to flatter me. As I awkwardly sipped my now-cold tea, he seemed to notice my discomfort and added, “I’m being completely serious.” “…Please continue. I understand that magic is very important to you… Did people finding out about it have a negative impact?” “In a…- 130.4 K • Ongoing
- El’s tone was calm, but as someone who’d never experienced war firsthand, I felt a strange disconnect. It was even more surreal because he spoke of gods and demons, beings I’d never encounter in ordinary life. My head was already starting to spin, but I took another bite of the sweet cake and listened intently. “This war is also the reason why the continent, once a single landmass, was split into two: Weiss and Schwarz.” “Split… Are you talking about the Continental War of 700 years…

He seemed aware of that fact himself. Lexion coughed awkwardly, his face flushing with belated embarrassment. "Is there something… wrong?" By now, it would have been easy enough to feign ignorance. But the Emperor, eager to tease, deliberately scanned him from head to toe before offering a sly smile. "Have you been on a date… behind my back?" A date. An activity where a man and a woman, harboring mutual affection, confirm their feelings and spend time together. Lexion offered a…- 58.9 K • Ongoing
Why did I think… the Grand Duke? It was absurd. Even disregarding the broad shoulders and the familiar, ragged breathing I’d glimpsed through the smoke, I had simply assumed that whoever rescued me from such peril would be Richard, the Grand Duke. He’s always… the one who comes when I’m in danger. I fiddled with the charred sleeve of my dress. His last words to me suddenly echoed in my mind. "So, this is nothing but trash, unfit for us." I bit my lip self-deprecatingly. Considering…- 110.7 K • Ongoing
- He knew Aiden was a businessman, but also a graduate of the military academy, skilled in the use of weapons. So why was his archery so… inept? As Benedict considered Aiden’s academy record, the man bowed to the King. “My apologies, Your Majesty. I seem to be interrupting your amusement. Perhaps a short respite to regroup would be beneficial.” “Yes, that would be best.” Having easily secured the King’s permission, Aiden smiled, turned his horse, and headed towards the hunting…

The Elder Council. A grand assembly of the Aviche family, convened every quarter to discuss achievements and future plans. It also served as the forum for resolving internal family matters. This particular council meeting was nearing its end. “The final item on the agenda,” someone announced. “Speak, Viscount Hoare.” Viscount Hoare. He was a vassal planted by Berta. “I wish to raise one more matter.” “What is it?” “It concerns Lady…- 123.0 K • Ongoing
