“Matriarch.” Solongo first checked the matriarch’s complexion. Are you all right? Since her body was so weak that even the smallest shock could make her faint, she was worried about her. Ever since she met that comrade recently, her will to live had grown stronger, and for the first time in a while, she looked lively again. Solongo couldn’t have been prouder. “Matriarch, should I call the healers…” “No. I can still hold on.” Doctor Kim’s face was pale as a corpse,…- 323.4 K • Completed
- Knock, knock. “Lord Lu, there’s a request to move the carriage. Shall we go somewhere else?” The servant on the driver’s seat finally lost patience and knocked as he asked. Instead of answering, I looked up again at the sky that was turning dark. It was already late, so I could just show my face inside and come right back out, right? The perverts were a problem, but the real issue was the clothes I was wearing. They looked terrible, and I didn’t want to show myself in front of people…

- “The stable is behind the building, on the right… wait a moment. Please stay here and don’t go anywhere.” I thought I heard Marvin’s name from downstairs, and he left me and went down. The moment I confirmed he was gone, I turned to the spirit that had followed beside me the whole time. “Where’s your Petal?” Was I expecting too much just hoping for a room number? I pointed at the nearby door. “What number is on that door?” The spirit was illiterate. I sighed and…

- “He’s putting on a pretentious act.” Doctor Kim resentfully clenched her fist. Solongo quickly handed her a vial of nutrients from the side. “You’ll have to start seeing his act in a good way now. He’s our only hope.” Haa. Doctor Kim sighed and gulped down the nutrients. “Send back a formal letter saying we received what he returned. And while you’re at it, slip in the news that Lu will attend the Club of the 13th Month tomorrow.” “But Grand Duke Kun would never come…

- I got angry, cursing with the mouth that “I should use on him,” then suddenly remembered what I’d written before. And I realized a bit late that maybe the part about my mouth could’ve been taken the wrong way. Damn it, even if I wrote it in a way that could be misunderstood, has he lost his mind or something? Blaming everything on Tairok, I carefully wrote my reply. I planned to send it by regular courier this time, but when Solongo saw what I’d written, she butted in again and ended up…

- As I slowly stopped pretending to be sick and could finally walk around the mansion, there was one place I went to first. “Uh, Baron, is there any progress in your research?” I just asked a question, but Sillian suddenly dropped to her knees. I freaked out and quickly grabbed her arm to make her stand up. But she started apologizing. “I, I’m sorry… I, I’m so lacking…” “I’m not blaming you, I just asked. I was wondering if it’s possible to grow spicy edible…

- ‘Just in words? –Kun Tairok’ Reading it took a second. Understanding it took far longer. What does that even mean? When have I ever done things with just words….? Then the contents of the letter I’d sent came to mind. ‘Thank you for your kind regards.’ So this was his reply to that. “…That bastard’s joking.” Crunch. I crumpled the letter in my fist, furious. Who was the one who’d refused every gift we sent, claiming he didn’t need thanks? Still…

- “Did you see the letter he sent when he rejected the gifts I sent him? Unbelievable. Who would’ve thought that arrogant man could write something so polite and proper?” “My thoughts exactly. I’ve never seen such a rude handwriting style look this organized before. And the content? Doesn’t it show how deeply he feels for Lord Lu?” Deeply feels? “Oh yes, it was moving. Since when has Tairok ever cared this much about Adeye?” “What exactly did that man write?” I asked,…

- “Your Grace! Have you seen the gifts Adeye sent?” Rick ran all the way to the training grounds to find Tairok and waved the list in his hand the moment he saw him. Tairok had just finished sword practice and was catching his breath when he turned to look at his first aide. Rick, who had clearly run the whole way, was panting even harder than Tairok but still spoke loudly. “My goodness, the gifts… are incredible!” Rick rarely made a fuss, so if he was reacting like this, Adeye must…

- Dia’s warning echoed from all directions. I realized my situation as I came back to my senses. Oh, I fell into the pond… I have to climb up… But even raising my head was difficult. My body sank deeper, as if the light were pulling me down. I heard Dia shouting again. But I was so focused on escaping the light that I didn’t listen. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t even stop, let alone rise. Just as I was about to give up, knowing I couldn’t escape that light, someone…
