I also tackled the long-overdue deep cleaning of the house. I dusted and swept and vacuumed every nook and cranny—windowsills, carpets, bookshelves, drawers, even under the sofas. Our house was large, so cleaning it alone was too much. I asked Layla for help, and she happily obliged. Together, we diligently mopped the floors. The Count spent the week reading in his room, and the Countess tended to her roses and embroidered. They were overjoyed to enjoy the leisurely pursuits of their aristocratic…- 139.2 K • Ongoing
“I’m so tired.” “Cooong?” “Peep?” I mumbled into my pillow. Ever since Killian had offered me a bite of his pancake, people had been relentless, teasing us about our supposed relationship. “We’re not together!” “That’s what you say! Haha! Are you sure about that, My Lady?” “Oh, honestly! Matt! Stop teasing me! Killian, say something!” “…S-Stop it.” “Oh, come on! That’s not going to cut it! Say something with more authority!” There I was,…- 139.2 K • Ongoing
This is insane. How can someone look like that? No, I needed to retract that K-pop idol comparison. Ji Eunha would surpass any K-pop idol I knew and reign supreme. Large, double-lidded eyes, a perfectly shaped nose, full, reddish lips, and clear, flawless skin, even without makeup. It was a cliché, but she truly resembled a meticulously crafted porcelain doll, beautiful and lovely. Yes, lovely enough to make anyone fall in love with her. I gazed at her, mesmerized, then frowned. But… Why wasn't he…- 95.3 K • Ongoing
- Right after he confessed his feelings and apologized, a new carriage arrived. Several men who appeared to be Lyxion Luhanes’s subordinates swarmed around, and in the midst of it all, I boarded the carriage with him. Somewhat dazed, I took Lyxion Luhanes’s offered hand and stepped inside, and he followed. We didn't speak a word until the carriage reached Viscount Kristenner’s estate. Lyxion Luhanes and I sat diagonally opposite each other, staring out the window for the entire ride. “Take care,…

- “Baa!” The sheep nodded in apparent satisfaction, inspecting their new hairstyles. The ram, in particular, seemed pleased with the trim around his ears. They’re such quirky creatures. In any case, we now had a plentiful supply of wool. Dora would undoubtedly transform it into a plethora of clothes and socks. “Off you go, everyone. I won’t be far.” “Baa! Baa!” “Baa!” “See you all later. Goodbye!” We released the sheep outside the fortress walls and gathered in the…

- “P-Preference?” I stammered, flustered. “Preference? What sort of preference? For desserts? Or perhaps flowers?” “All of them. And if you don’t mind…” Killian drew closer, a deep smile playing on his lips. It was the first time I'd seen him smile with such deliberate seduction. Involuntarily, I stepped back as he advanced, only to find my retreat blocked by the wall. He was now mere inches away, our noses practically touching. I could feel the warmth of his breath against my…

Heizen had orchestrated a widespread search, convinced the Saintess wasn't truly dead, turning Wilheländigt upside down. It was only natural for him to suspect and be wary of any connection between the Aether family and Daphnela. Even if not, he would need to keep a close watch on the ducal family for any suspicious activity to secure the precarious position of the crown prince. The swiftness of the news reaching Heizen and his subsequent response as soon as she and Calix entered the temple made it…- 81.5 K • Ongoing
- Daphnela saw the twelve-year-old Roxand in him, the same boy who, then as now, had a knack for tugging at her compassion. “But even as you lay dying, I did nothing. I held the holy sword, vowing to protect you, yet I struck down none of your enemies. I failed to find your kidnappers, failed to uncover those behind the assassination attempts. Instead, I only wounded you with harsh words. I… I was foolish.” “Don’t cry. Your words never wounded me.” “You were likely too battered and…

- Surprise painted my features as I stared, dumbfounded. His words, coupled with my behavior, made it obvious. Had he been deliberately feigning ignorance all this time? My jaw dropped. ‘So, he wasn’t oblivious to me avoiding him. He was just pretending not to notice.’ The confirmation of my suspicion filled me with a strange mix of awe and alarm. Experiencing Lyxion Luhanes’s personality firsthand made him seem even more formidable than he had appeared in the novel. “You could have just…

- I almost retorted, "You didn't have to be so blunt," but I bit my lip. It felt ridiculous to snap at him after I'd already questioned his involvement. When I closed my mouth, and he offered no further words, a long silence fell between us. Lyxion Luhanes, perhaps realizing he was too close, took a couple of steps back and looked away. I, too, averted my gaze, trying to focus on anything else. But my eyes unconsciously landed on the scattered corpses. “Ugh…!” I flinched, whirling around, only to…
