His words were a provocation. The members of the North Party glared at him with bloodshot eyes. While they waited for Daisy or Duke North to respond, a voice came from behind Batoni South. “Your last remark had nothing to do with the topic of this meeting, Duke South.” A pale young man stepped through the members of the South Party. Batoni South looked once at the young man, then once at Samuel Erlesia, the Master of the Third Tower. Samuel met his gaze and shook his head with a sigh. It…- 204.1 K • Canceled
- Swaaah. The small ferry advanced against the rolling waves. It was far too small and fragile to cross the sea, but the voyage went smoothly because the weather was clear without a single cloud. The man standing at the bow pointed toward the distant island. “That place is the Spirit King’s mansion. On the ninth and nineteenth day of every month, the weather stays calm enough to sail. But since the Spirit King doesn’t receive visitors, I can’t say if you’ll be allowed…

- Kian’s thoughts wandered elsewhere. Rowan was a child whose heart was hard to read. He did not expect that time would have changed her. So if he wanted to talk to her, he needed to calm himself first. ‘Isn’t it too much to use another room without saying anything?’ His thoughts circled in the same place. Kian brushed his cheek with his palm. ‘I'm crazy. I'm going crazy because my desires are piling up.' His wet dreams about Lucien were happening every night. Anyone would lose his…

- “Is there no way to escape from the illusion?” “I don’t know. Let’s watch for now.” At that moment, a huge cloud of dust rose from the path that led toward the village. Thud, thud, thud, thud. What appeared, shaking the ground like a large wild beast, was a boy. His black hair, like his father’s, was soaked in sweat, and his eyes shone with heat. The boy, Kian, who had found his father, ran toward him. “Father! Do you know what event will be held at the lower village…

- It was a longsword he had received to celebrate his appointment as Captain of the Knights. The handle had once been gilded and adorned with jewels, but to overcome their family’s hardship, they had sold the gold and jewels little by little, and now it had become plain and dull. Only the royal emblem engraved along the blade remained to represent its once-glorious past. “Thank you, Father. You’ll come to watch my match later, right?” Kian accepted the sword with both hands. His father…

- “It seems you’ve misunderstood something. I…” “You must be that man’s son. I saw you look that way when you won the match.” The lord’s finger pointed toward the southern seats. It was exactly where Yan’s father stood. “Guards! There will be a tall man with black hair over there. He’s a dangerous one, arrest him. If he resists, kill him.” “My lord!” “You’re the same. I’ll seize your entire family and punish you according to the king’s order. Did you think…

- “Fa… ther…?” “Go around to the opposite side of the village and cross the mountain. If you walk north for three days, you’ll reach a village. Find ‘Lorcan’ there.” “What are you talking about right now…?” “Go.” While Yan stood dumbly repeating the question, people began to gather amid the commotion caused by the soldiers. Among them were villagers and armed troops alike. By then, his father had already picked up the sword Yan had dropped. Everyone’s eyes…

- “If a man kills a stranger just because he is in a bad mood, he should be punished. If a man already has more than enough and yet harms others out of greed to take what is not his, he should be punished the same.” “……” “But what about the man who sets a fire as a last resort to protect the people he loves? Should he also be punished only because lives were lost? Even though the elves knew what would happen to them, they still waited for death.” Kian opened his mouth, then closed it…

- Frederick was surprised. ―Are you still under the potion’s effect m? You do not show any sign of that. ―There has not been any excessive physical excitement since that day. I only asked because I was curious about what kind of drug it was. ―I see. I should’ve explained first, but I didn’t get the chance. I’m sorry for suddenly bringing it up. Actually, that drug was just a simple stimulant. ―Didn’t you say it was a potion that makes people fall in love? ―That was only a…

- "Is there something you wish to do with me?" Lucien's expression clouded. Kian hastily waved his hand. "No, don't answer. I'll speak first. There is something I wish to do with you, Lucien." His heart beat gently yet powerfully. Kian took Lucien's hands. "Please spend the night with me." "…Kian?" He knew it was a clumsy approach. He was also aware that if those self-proclaimed romance experts at the tavern heard this, they'd burst out laughing. But this was the method that suited…
