After that, Aeryl remained in the infirmary, looking through documents, but the words barely registered. He had accepted becoming the Grand Duchess as a natural outcome—because he loved Hiello. But that didn’t mean he had ever thought about giving up being a doctor. He had worked hard to study medicine and was deeply attached to it. He still dreamed of advancing medical science and contributing to the world through it. ‘After everything I went through to learn…’ But even as he thought…- 279.4 K • Completed
- “It won’t be easy…” Even as he trailed off, Aeryl’s mind was racing. A way to win Lady Merel over came to him.

Time was something that could be squeezed out if needed. ‘Though I’ll have to be careful about infectious diseases…’ If he followed what Hiello had said, it might actually work more in his favor. He already had so much he wanted to learn and do that he didn’t even…

What Caesar didn't know was that from the moment he gave the order to set sail, Miguel had been watching him—until he and the Wind Fury had completely disappeared from his line of sight. Miguel stood on the beach, pulling off his waterlogged riding boots. As if to accompany the sound of the seawater pouring out of the boots and returning to the sea, the Wind Fury's sails billowed in the distance. Miguel looked up. Even though the ship was now far away, he could still hear the sound of the wind filling…- 221.3 K • Completed
- Chase? How to chase? Spread his legs, stretch out his arms, and swim in a breaststroke to catch up with the Wind Fury, which had long since disappeared? Or chop down trees, build a raft, and row his way to the legendary Land of Dusk? …By the time he finished chopping wood, Caesar would probably already be bored to death guarding some gate in the Land of Dawn. Having dreams and ambition is good, but when objective conditions don't allow it, all declarations are just hot air. You can't…

4 “What are you taking off?” The man flinched. Silver drew a dagger from inside his robe. “You were about to ask where this is, right? Answer: Pirate Island.” “Oh. I see.” The man’s tone immediately became deferential. Silver pointed the dagger at him. “You. What’s your…- 121.6 K • Ongoing
Yudit truly had come knowing everything. Cold sweat trickled down Pavron’s spine. “T-That’s… a misunderstanding. I meant to write that in someone else’s diary but mixed it up. I erased it right away, but how did you…?” Just as Yvonne said, when the back of the diary was held up to sunlight, the words, though scratched over, appeared clearly beneath the lines. Yudit read every word and stood stunned. Then rage surged up in him. “The moment your abuse began was when Luka confided…- 396.9 K • Completed

- “Yeah, revenge is your right. Your anger isn’t something that money can erase.” The child blinked, eyes wide—as if he hadn’t expected anyone to take his side. His cheek was flushed red. It was a mark from when he was hit for resisting Pavron. Yudit knelt on one knee and gently touched the child’s cheek. But even that made the child flinch in pain, and Yudit pulled back.

- Khalid had just stepped out of the tent when Yudit finally pulled on his trousers. The ointment had smeared on the fabric, making it sticky, but it was still better than sitting bare-bottomed in Khalid’s tent. When Khalid came back in and saw Yudit with his trousers on, he let out a sigh. “I told you to stay as you were.” “This is better.” Yudit shrank back, worried he might try to pull them off again.

Should we go outside for drinks?” “No, we’re the ones who should apologize for visiting when you’re probably so busy…” “It’s all right. I actually wanted to see the three of you before I left. Thank you for coming to me first like this.” They were the ones he had brought…
