*** “Are you just going to let this be?” Once they were alone, Seiren, her face still hard with unabated anger, questioned Raz. Lost in thought, Raz looked up at her. “Father will not be swayed.” “He said he would grant her the title of Duchess. To a mere bastard of a baron.” Though her tone was flat, Seiren’s voice was laced with fury. The thought of Lysei, the cause of her lost arm, becoming a Duchess was absolutely unbearable. “There is nothing to be done. Father is so…- 65.9 K • Ongoing
Chapter 14 - The Rescue While Theor and the leader of the heretics joined forces to find Lysei, she grew increasingly anxious as events failed to follow the original story's plot. No matter how long she waited, the carrier pigeon never arrived, and the letter she had painstakingly written in blood was now useless. “What in the world is Theor doing?! Don’t tell me he’s not even in Danteonin…?” A seed of dread began to sprout within Lysei. If the story continued to stray from its original…- 65.9 K • Ongoing
“And, Eulia.” “Yes.” “Do not disappear.” “…Pardon?” She couldn't be sure if she was imagining it, but his eyes seemed to tremble slightly. She could read a subtle anxiety in his hardened expression and furrowed brow. “Sometimes… no, always. I feel as if you will one day abandon me and disappear.” “…” “That must be why I try to grasp you so tightly. I.” She could feel the heat in his angry gaze. Callias’s hand slowly reached for her. He entangled…- 74.5 K • Ongoing
- After a terrible illness, Eulia had finally recovered her health. Rising from her bed, she seemed more vibrant than before. Her blue eyes were hard and sleek like tempered metal, and her posture was so erect the change was palpable. It was the result of her hesitation having vanished. Though the Sephirothe estate had burned to the ground, the more she thought about it, the more oddities she found. First, the tragedy occurred in less than three days. The manor had been set ablaze before the deadline…

A lofty reputation was always dogged by base slander. The Duke of Farrow, she’d heard, was constantly maligned by those who envied his status and power. His life was tiresome enough without some insignificant Tilamin girl taking the lead in smearing his name. “People will not want to see Nix Farrow, a hero of the Holy War, growing close to a heathen woman. It might be a different story if he were an incorrigible rake, but he has lived his life so uprightly.” I know that much, Titchte thought,…- 108.4 K • Ongoing
- Her steps were light as she headed back to the stillroom, where she imagined Ascoff would be waiting. He’s completely unguarded. At first, Titchte had thought him incredibly sharp, but the more she got to know him, the more she realized he was full of holes. And Titchte didn’t mind that clumsiness at all. He’s like a cat. Prickly at first, but it seems he’s gotten a little more comfortable with me now. Whether or not the man had been eyeing her legs lecherously, it was clear he wanted…

“……?” Squinting, she blinked water from her eyes and peered at the object. In the faint light filtering in from somewhere, the silver gleam of a gun barrel took shape. Meanwhile, her breathing grew ragged, each gasp hot and searing in her throat. “Artemis?!” Startled by its ominously divine form, her eyes flew open, and a clear ding rang inside her head. Welcome aboard the prototype for Solomon and Zion’s Paradise. “Pa-ra-dise… Pro-to-type.” The distinct words…- 159.9 K • Ongoing
- She snatched at his hand for dear life, but her own was slick with sweat and slid right off. “Agh! No! Nooo!” Flailing in desperation, her fingers clamped around something, but it wasn’t Regan, and her descent didn’t slow. The gazes of the hunter and the succubus met in midair. For a heartbeat, time seemed to stand still. The golem, watching them as if they were insignificant gnats, chuckled leisurely. And then time resumed. Having lost her hold, the succubus plummeted toward the…

*** It was the fifth day of avoiding Adel. I thought putting some distance between us would help me sort out my thoughts, but my head just felt more jumbled. “Hah.” A sigh escaped me out of sheer frustration. I poked aimlessly at my fishing rod. What in the world is wrong with me? It was all the more maddening because I didn't know the exact reason. Of course, Leah’s story had been shocking. And because it had already happened once before, Adel did seem a bit more terrifying.…- 156.5 K • Ongoing
- A sigh escaped Adel, who was in the middle of processing the mountain of paperwork on his desk. His gaze drifted to the sofa on one side of his office. A pleasant warmth from the sun soaked the cushions, but the one who might have enjoyed it was absent. “Four days already, isn’t it?” Four days since Louisa had started subtly avoiding him. He had been relieved on the day she’d met with Leah, as Louisa had seemed perfectly fine. But then, the trouble had started that very…
