Each time, Kian had just thought the dragon was spouting nonsense again and let it go in one ear and out the other. Of course, how could Kian have known? Because Hellenos’s descendants inherited the same tastes and repeated the same refrain, those conditions ended up becoming the “appearance that appeals to dragons.” He never imagined that his own bizarre appearance would fit that taste. ‘But does it make sense to show up covered in flour and smeared with tomato on the mouth?’ The…-

Leaving the market, Kian brushed the flour that had pilled up on his head. Even without a mirror, he knew his appearance was a wreck. Wherever he passed, everyone turned their heads to look at him. But Kian wanted to reach the royal palace today. The naive lord was confident the king would receive him right away with a signed letter, but Kian thought differently. ‘The king would hardly care about a remote land like Paleon.’ That meant it would take a long time to gain an audience with the…

The last time Kian had come to the capital was relatively recent. Thirty years ago, Kian had worked with a merchant group that connected the capital with provincial cities. They mostly dealt in leather shoes and clothes. The place Kian was heading to now was the shop that the merchants had traded with back then. The owner, who ran the store through generations, had a keen eye for leather and took great pride in his products, which was why the merchant group trusted him with their goods. ‘That…

Feeling his neck freed, Kian stepped half a pace away from James. “The lord is looking for me? What is it about?” “Better to hear directly from the lord than for me to pass it along poorly. Let’s go.” “Right now?” “Yes.” Kian shrugged his shoulders and followed behind James. ‘Why is he calling me all of a sudden?’ There was not much time to wonder. Following James, Kian arrived at the meeting room. It seemed a meeting had been in full swing since early morning.…

I held back from looking around to see where Baek Jaehan was. The conversation just now reaching Baek Jaehan’s ears was only a matter of time. The people who heard Baek Jinseok’s bombshell remark all started chattering. They told Baek Mugyeong to hurry and give the chairman a great-grandson, to hurry and get the gifts, and to work hard at night, showering him with encouragement and advice. I could not say here that we had decided not to have children. Baek Mugyeong seemed the same, he did not say…-

The man with a gaunt and gentle face resembled the Baek family so much that even a stranger could tell he belonged to them. His eyes were sharp too. But that was because of drugs. According to Baek Yeongseop, he lost money gambling and he also used drugs. “My name is Baek Gyeongbin. My grandfather’s name is Baek, Jingyun, and he is Chairman Baek Jinseok’s younger brother.” As I remembered, Baek Gyeongbin revealed his name and then recited his connection to Baek Jinseok. People turned their…

She said something, and Baek Mugyeong quietly listened. “……” I almost told her to back off. Baek Mugyeong was someone who never let people he disliked get close. But right now he was being too kind, not like him. No, correction. Baek Mugyeong was being polite, the same as usual. I did not like that. “Don’t you get jealous?” “What?” “Never mind. You still don’t get it. You saw it too, right? Mugyeong-hyung is really popular. A face like his is really rare. If he looks…

The family room had only the two of us. Because it was far from the kitchen, the view was blocked. But my heart raced like I was doing something bad. It had not been long since I started truly getting to know Baek Mugyeong. Compared to the early days of marriage, the change was dramatic, like heaven and earth. The atmosphere between us had shifted. This was much better than watching each other’s moods, being wary, and sharpening words. Even so, when he suddenly closed the distance like now, I was…

I accepted the mug full of cocoa and headed to the second living room tucked in a corner on the first floor. Unlike the large living room meant for receiving guests, the space called the family room was small. The interior was also relatively cozy. I sat in the corner of the sofa by the window with my knees drawn up and sipped the cocoa. As the warm, sweet cocoa went down, my head, which had felt foggy and heavy, slowly started to turn again. Nightmares came without warning. When I felt gloomy after…

If the truth was examined, Kim Juhyeon’s lie would be exposed, but that would make things too noisy. I wanted to handle it as quietly as possible, like what was common in a chaebol family. I didn’t care if people said I couldn’t manage my subordinates. But I didn’t want to see or suffer Baek Jaehan or Im Songyoon picking a fight using that as a pretext. The best method was to leave it to Baek Mugyeong. Unlike me, who had no real voice because of an arranged marriage, Baek Mugyeong had…
