A woman came running, panting. The moment she spotted Kian, her face changed, and she smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed. Kian smiled back and pointed at the princess. “The princess is here. Will she also attend the banquet today?” The nanny closed the distance quickly and grabbed the princess’s hand. Even though she was caught trying to escape, the princess still smiled brightly. After introductions, the nanny looked between Kian and the princess. “Unfortunately, the princess…-

“Who wouldn't want to receive help? He might feel something is odd, but he will be glad.” Lucien’s face brightened. “I want to see his lovely face again… Maybe I rushed out too suddenly and others noticed.” “Right now, avoiding discovery is more important. Later, when time has passed, if you tell him it was you, he will be overjoyed.” “Yes. I hope he will like it…” Lucien’s cheeks flushed red. It was no surprise, since this had been Lucien’s reaction whenever the…

Kian shrugged. “Black eyes are rare.” “It is also the eye color of the strongest swordsman, Sir Yan.” “That is not import… well, yes, that is true.” Certainly, Frederick, whose intentions showed in every word, was easier to deal with. Daisy’s offhand words always carried a peculiar weight. Kian changed the topic. “About what you mentioned before. That the North Party endures wrongdoing to check the South Party.” “That is right. It is unpleasant, but it is an…

There were three gates to selecting a mate. Of those, the final gate could not be cleared with a pass. Kian liked that as well. Since his only goal was to become a final candidate, using his pass on this test meant he could achieve everything without effort. As time passed, other candidates also realized how to break the stones. But only a handful of knights could handle mana, and even among mages, few could control mana alone. Faced with such a difficult problem, one by one, signs of giving up…

The vacant lot went silent, like cold water had been poured over it. “……” “……” Frederick’s arm, lowering the handkerchief covering his face, trembled. When he pulled it away, a red mark in the shape of the handkerchief remained on his face. “You brought death upon yourself. Do not resent me.” Mana gathered around Frederick. The place where the most mana concentrated was his feet. Frederick suddenly kicked forward. For an ordinary person it would have been powerful…

“To Eddie?” “We must tell him you found your mate. If we delay the message and that person is disqualified, that would be terrible.” “Ah, thank you. But Walter, did you not just say that I was too quick to be sure that person is my mate? I was thinking of taking your words seriously and thinking it over.” “I thought so too, but not anymore. Do not waste your energy needlessly. Then I will go write the letter to His Majesty.” Walter got up from his seat. As Lucien had said,…

But the goat seemed to have other ideas. Even when they gestured toward the garden’s exit, it stayed planted in front of the bench. In the end, Kian carried it in his arms. Once held, perhaps it found his embrace comfortable, as it stopped resisting. When they reached the Freesia Palace and returned the goat, the steward in charge of the palace looked visibly flustered. “Oh, how did you ended up like this?” So surprised that he even used polite speech to the goat1. “I don’t know.…

‘Then what is it that’s holding the papers now?’ When he lifted the bundle high, something heavy seemed to come up with it, then dropped to the floor with a noise. Kian looked at the white figure sprawled on the ground, no, at an animal with white fur. “Where did this thing suddenly come from?” Ibrahim stood from the bench and walked to Kian’s side. “This is a goat?” Just as Ibrahim said, the one that had tried to eat Kian’s papers was a goat. It looked like a goat…

Forty-nine.’ Kian looked at the woman bowing and leaving. ‘Three minutes left.’ The fiftieth to exchange signs with him was a man who had lowered his glasses. ‘The smell of oil reeks.’ Kian furrowed his brow slightly and reached out his hand. “Give me the paper.” At such a trivial request, the man flinched like he had been woken from sleep. “H-here it is.” Kian signed the man’s paper and handed it back. Now it was the man’s turn to sign Kian’s…

“They’re also missing one person. Good. Now all we need is to pull in one more. If we win over just one person, the South Party is eliminated.” “But there’s a problem.” “What problem?” “The only person not in a party… is that man.” Daisy turned her head to check, and a flicker of unease passed through her eyes. ‘Of all people, that man.’ The man who had entered with flour on his face and a strong fruit scent. A man from a ruined family, and not one to be taken…
