So Titchte blurted out a question that bordered on rude. “I’ll be frank, I still don’t understand. I don’t know why you paid such a large sum for me.” It was a suspicion she hadn't dared voice back then, too desperate to escape the pimp's clutches. “You must have believed I was useful, that’s why you brought me here. If this is how it’s going to be, why did you rescue me?” It was a question that could be interpreted as impertinent and presumptuous. But Titchte couldn't help…- 108.4 K • Ongoing
The passage he had memorized, reciting it even in his sleep, was not a tribute to Solomon’s achievements. It was the origin story, explaining how evil took root on Earth. Yes, this was the story of the devil. The gateway to paradise, opened by Solomon. What awaited humanity beyond it was not paradise, but a vast, overwhelming darkness. A potent evil capable of corrupting humanity and birthing demons. “I heard John’s prophecy was lost—” Regan mused, reaching out to touch the mural before…- 159.9 K • Ongoing
The academy buzzed with a strange energy, a frenzy of flirtation and furtive glances. Yet amidst this chaotic dance, one man stood apart, a solitary figure seemingly detached from the world. His raven hair was neatly arranged, framing a pair of mesmerizing golden eyes. A pristine, buttoned-up shirt, fastened all the way to his throat, gave him the air of a devout clergyman. Perhaps it was this aura of elegance that drew the attention of every student who passed him. Who is he? they…- 159.9 K • Ongoing
Why the rush? Blood continued to flow from my hand, which had gripped the sword so tightly. Blood also welled up from the wound on Adel’s chest where the tip of the sword had grazed him. This was bad. I was debating whether to hold him tighter or pull away when I noticed the open door and Beck and Evan standing between the room and the hallway. My eyes met Evan’s. He glanced down at Adel’s back. “...Is he alright?” Evan mouthed, his face etched with worry. He was clearly concerned about…- 156.5 K • Ongoing
“No!” Instinctively, my body lunged toward Adel. It was an action I couldn't understand. Adel, Hayden Berto, was the main culprit behind this novel's descent into ruin. If I saved him now, all that awaited me was confinement. Since reviving the original storyline was out of the question, it wouldn't matter if one male lead died, would it? Wouldn't that be the true happy ending, where everyone finds peace? The original female lead would live with her family, and I would return to the…- 156.5 K • Ongoing
"Maybe it's better if I'm not here." The administrative system was already well-structured and running smoothly. I'd often been absent from the palace, traveling to the borders or other countries. "Can I go?" With me around, everyone saw Rosaline as a figurehead. If my presence diminished, her true abilities might shine. Cliff was back now, so Rosaline would be safe. He would protect her. "I want to go, Rosaline." I gently brushed the golden strands of hair from Rosaline’s forehead. "I want to do…- 140.9 K • Ongoing
Rosaline held out her pinky, but I didn't take it. I had to be ready to leave if something happened. Besides, these days, I was at Kelion’s beck and call, going wherever he told me. When I hesitated, Rosaline became frantic, trailing after me. "” "” Rosaline chased me around the outdoor hallway, pinky still extended. "My, my, such youthful energy. At this rate, you should just get married." "Exactly!" The officials stood at a distance, watching instead of working. From afar, we must have…- 140.9 K • Ongoing
*** As Marquis Spencer had suggested, there was no valid reason to refuse the trip to Odelo. We hastily prepared and arrived at the Duchy. Marquis Spencer, who was to accompany us as an intermediary, planned to arrive a few days later, as he needed to resolve an issue at a winery he had recently acquired. We were holding a strategy meeting in front of the antiquated Odelo Palace. “Why do you think he insisted on meeting us in person?” I asked. “Perhaps to negotiate the terms,” the Grand…- 110.7 K • Ongoing
What could be so important that he’d bring her all the way here? Without thinking, Katrina lifted the cup and drank. “You see, I've been doing a lot of thinking…” Silas began, finally ready to reveal his purpose. “And there’s something I need to know.” What was he about to ask…? “What do you want to ask?” The words tumbled out before Katrina could stop them. It wasn’t anything profound, but her mouth had moved without her consent. This couldn’t be… “What did you give…- 123.0 K • Ongoing
Katrina threw open the carriage window and shouted at the driver, but no answer came. “Stop!” she cried again, yet the driver remained silent. A chilling realization washed over her. This wasn't her driver. The carriage had been hijacked. Katrina bit her lip, her eyes scanning the passing landscape. Should she risk jumping? Wait… why did this road seem… familiar? If her memory served, this was the road to Rockenheim Manor. Surely not… As if confirming her suspicions, the…- 123.0 K • Ongoing
