"No. Like you, it's just a guess." The only concrete information we had was his unremarkable appearance, something easily found anywhere. Besides that, we only had fragmented details that couldn't identify him. I glanced at him, but Tenet, as usual, gave a clear answer and turned his head forward. "It's probably not who you're thinking of, Sir." "...." "That person would barely have time to worry about themselves." I continued walking, unfazed by his words. After a few steps, I…- 95.6 K • Ongoing
Early in the morning, as I was preparing to leave, someone tugged at my sleeve from behind. In this Baron's castle, only one person would dare to stop me so boldly yet timidly. I turned my head sharply, interrupting my adjustment of my hood. El, upon meeting my gaze, quickly released my sleeve and fidgeted with their fingers, seemingly wanting to say something. I diligently followed their hand gestures with my eyes. "Um, 'you'... and..." "They're asking when you'll…- 95.6 K • Ongoing
- *** It felt like we’d finally gotten to the heart of the matter. I carefully read each line of the information Ruth had given me. I’d tried to organize it, neatly writing it all on the first page, but the hastily scribbled notes, jotted down as I’d discovered each piece of information, were far more helpful. “I have a rough sketch of the person. A man, about 180cm tall. Brown hair. Unskilled in the Imperial tongue, with a tendency to lapse into Parahan.” “Does anyone come to…

“For this evaluation, prisoners are sent outside to carry out specific missions.” “Did I hear that right? This prison, designed to confine people, actually sends them outside? Wouldn’t everyone jump at the chance?” Mint was still smiling. She, too, had once thought the same. “Right? But think about it, my dear student. They're offering a trip outside in a place that doesn't give a damn about prisoners' rights!” “….” “Wow, exciting, isn't it? Feels like an opportunity…- 76.8 K • Ongoing
- What insane scheme was she concocting now? Unease pricked at him from the very first words. Yes, she was still his master. “Are you finally planning to let me die? A little taste of the afterlife, perhaps?” “Don’t say such hurtful things. You wound me, Master.” “….” …He was a scoundrel for even briefly imagining his master crying. Helios clutched his head. All the while blissfully unaware that Mint frequently entertained thoughts like, ‘He’d look even prettier with tears…

‘Why couldn’t they just fall in love at first sight like in the original story and be happy? Why drag me into this?’ The problem was clearly Lyxion Luhanes. Ji Eunha was following the original plotline well enough, albeit with slightly altered timing and locations. It was even better this way; my brother Michael wouldn’t be used and discarded as the secondary male lead. Everything was perfect, except for Lyxion’s sudden, inexplicable infatuation with me. My only remaining hope was that the…- 95.3 K • Ongoing
- *** “Come in.” I didn’t even ask who it was before bidding them enter. At my words, the old butler stepped into the room, that familiar red box held before him. I questioned him with a glance, and he approached the window where I stood, presenting the box. “A gift from Duke Luhanes, for you, Miss.” …A gift? A confession yesterday, and a gift today? ‘What’s this all about…?’ I frowned openly, staring at the box. It felt burdensome and unwelcome, as if he were trying to force…

- “Neither of us wanted to make a big deal out of this. We’ve come to an agreement.” “….” Yuri didn't respond, not even meeting it’s gaze, but it laughed as if amused. Yuri knew it wasn’t genuinely happy. He simply thought it seemed a bit unhinged. “Don’t make that face.” Then, it’s laughter faded, and it abruptly said, “I’m holding back too, you know.” This vast cathedral was no longer it’s alone. It’s gaze swept over the guards standing like ghosts, a dry,…

- “I’m sorry.” He thought of the man, his so-called uncle, who only stopped kicking him after hearing those words. “I’m sorry.” Then he remembered the stern faces of the priests, ceasing their beatings only after hearing that same phrase, uttered mechanically, devoid of emotion. Yuri stared impassively at the girl sitting before him like a monarch, demanding an apology. With practiced ease, he pushed back his chair and stood. “Don’t kneel.” “I’m sorry.” Having only…

- "It's over there," he said, then, seeing me staring blankly at him, added, "We've arrived." "It seems like you have your suspicions about someone." "No. Like you, it's just a guess." All we had was information about an unremarkable appearance, the kind you'd see anywhere. Besides that, only fragmented details offered no real clues to his identity. I glanced at him, but Tenet, as usual, answered clearly and turned his head forward. "I doubt it's who you're thinking…
