“Huff…!” The young man barely managed to deflect Khalid’s sword, exhaling in ragged breaths. It hadn’t been a calculated move—his body had reacted purely out of survival instinct. Clang! The sharp clash of steel against steel rang out, harsh enough to make even the onlookers’ wrists ache. Khalid’s eyes flickered with interest as he looked at his opponent. He pressed forward again, slower than before but with relentless strength. The young man, perhaps because he could finally see…-

The boy clutched his wrist. Drip, drip. Blood poured from the severed limb, soaking the arena floor. Hiore, as if his fury still hadn’t subsided, stared down at the boy with a merciless gleam in his eyes. The boy, even with his hand cut off, couldn’t even scream properly—his face had gone deathly pale. “I… I forfeit…” The boy barely managed to choke out the words. The referee, casting him a brief look of pity, called out: “V-Victory to His Highness Prince Hiore Friedrich…

“Did you come to see me?” Khalid asked gently, one arm wrapped around Yudit’s shoulders. Yudit sucked in a breath like a man waking from a nightmare. His eye contact with Hiore had lasted only moments, yet his back was already drenched in sweat. Hiore hadn’t usually released his pheromones so forcefully. He hadn’t even seemed particularly angry, and still it had felt overwhelming. Yudit looked down at his palm, slick with sweat. He couldn’t quite put it into words, but something about it…

“Khalid…” Yudit looked at him with unfamiliar eyes, as though in a dream. It was hard to believe he was really standing in front of him. Without thinking, Yudit reached out a hand toward Khalid. He wanted to brush his cheek, but since Khalid was still on horseback, his fingers only grazed somewhere near the man’s waist. At that moment, Khalid leaned down, and Yudit’s fingertips met his cheek. The roughness of his skin made Yudit feel like he might cry. “Seems our young prince missed me…

“Are you saying it might be possible to assassinate him?” “We can attempt it, but it won’t be easy. Still, we should be able to stir up some chaos for a while. If you deem it too dangerous, I can suggest another method.” “There’s no need to wait for things to quiet down before we act.” Reginald, stroking his chin, paused in thought before speaking again. “Proceed as planned, but if you’re discovered, make it look like Hiore is responsible.” After all, his mother was on…

The bundle of newspapers writhed like a living creature before unfolding. The front page featured an article about the District 3 of Bern which had been enjoying booming success day after day. “This is the duke’s doing. You know he owns multiple newspaper companies.” “But the article isn’t false, is it?” Reginald, gripping a stack of documents on the desk, hurled it at his aide without hesitation. The flying papers grazed the aide’s cheek, drawing a thin line of blood. The aide…

It was a weapons shop that specialized in using monster byproducts. The shop mainly dealt in armor and weapons, and unusually, the armor crafted from monster hide and bone gave off a sweet scent instead of the typical leather smell. This was thanks to the bodily fluids of a monster known as the Bloodwhip. Moreover, the weapons forged from monster claws and bones were as hard as steel, yet lighter—and cost less than half the price of steel. The shop was decorated with Herutian tapestries and trinkets,…

“Haha, Yuli. I heard you’ve been learning self-defense lately—you’ve gotten a lot quicker. But, uh… I’ve got something urgent to take care of, so I think I’ll be going now…” “You wouldn’t be able to go anywhere if you were still locked up, would you?” “True. But you’re the one who let me out.” Eden’s eyes darted about as he schemed a way to escape. Yudit furrowed his brow and stepped closer to him. “You’re not seriously thinking of running after starting all…

The villagers, who had been so thrilled to see Yudit just moments ago, began glancing at one another nervously at his question. Yudit didn’t press them. Instead, he studied their shifting gazes. In the silence, eyes started to settle on a single person—that alone was answer enough. And there he was, exactly who Yudit had expected. Eden. Yudit gave him a look of exasperation. Eden stood inside the cell, arms folded, wearing a relaxed smile. It was either him or Diego—Yudit had guessed as much…
