The sun had already set, but if not now, there wouldn’t be another chance to greet her, so I had no choice but to visit the guest staying in the annex. After all, she was the most important person in Tubain to me and Doctor Kim. But Baron Owick, whom I met in the drawing room, trembled like an aspen leaf as soon as she saw me. “Baron, are you alright?” “S-s-s.” S-s-s?1 “A snake?” She shook her head and opened her mouth with her eyes tightly…- 323.4 K • Completed
“That is the hierarchy.” Hierarchy held great importance for the demons. Except for rare cases like Sibel, who was the master of the Demon King’s castle, there was always a hierarchy among the demons under a demon king. Some even created childish titles like “legion commander.” Shanti wasn’t a pure-blooded demon, but for some reason, he wanted to make the hierarchy between Aizen and himself clear. “That’s interesting.” “This isn’t something to find interesting!…- 215.1 K • Completed
Qiu Xuning’s eyes were covered by He Zhiyuan, and he couldn’t see anything. Because He Zhiyuan loosened his grip around his waist, he couldn’t stand very well, and his two hands could only grab his arm more forcefully. Hearing He Zhiyuan say this, he was still a bit confused and asked, "Why can’t I look?" He Zhiyuan asked in return, "Do you think he swims well?" Qiu Xuning honestly nodded and said, "It’s quite nice to watch, like a butterfly." He Zhiyuan didn’t say anything. Qiu…- 335.0 K • Completed
- ‘It’s because of the elixir.’ Kian shifted the blame to the elixir and cleared his throat. “Hm hm. Please forget what I just said.” “Stop.” Kian obeyed Lucien’s words without resistance. “Look at me. Lower your head a little.” “Yes.” Lucien’s hand held Kian’s chin. Before Kian understood the situation that was unfolding, Lucien’s grinning face came into view. “That side’s me must have been quite into you. Are you disappointed because I don’t like…

Aeryl softened his expression on purpose and coaxed Derbas. “Tell me what happened. I need to know so we can handle this to our advantage.” “Uh, well… nothing much happened…” “Nothing much?” “I just talked a bit with His Grace and came back here to wait for Your Highness.” “You didn’t get caught?” “Nope. Oh, by the way, did you hear about the imperial envoys?” “I just got back. What about them?” “They left the outer quarters a little while ago.…- 279.4 K • Completed
- The warehouse door shattered with a loud crash, but fortunately, no chase ensued. It was a secluded spot, and a bigger warehouse nearby blocked the sound from spreading. In other words, it was a place where even a loud noise wouldn’t risk drawing attention. Then again, they probably wouldn’t have set up a portal for a raid just anywhere. That must mean the person who created the portal was aware of this. I couldn’t help but look askance at the man slowly walking out from behind me. “It’s…

Embarrassed at being caught in such a state, I averted my gaze from Iser. The torn skin beneath my eyes burned as if scorched by fire. “Prisoner Number 1004, are you listening?” “Ah…” Only then did I recall the guard instructor had asked me something. “What’s the reason you left your cell after six years?” "……There's no reason." Of course, I had my own reasons. I wanted to escape this goddamn world as soon as possible, and that was the sole purpose of leaving my cell.…- 187.9 K • Ongoing
- “Would you like to sit down and rest?” He doesn’t even ask. Or rather, he goes further. “You still worry about me.” Even though his power is already known. “Of course I do. Having strong power and having a strong body are two different things.” The same words as his father. Well, that was true. For some reason, his body shows no sign of getting stronger. “Even so, I can still do many things. You’ve done a lot for me, so if there’s anything you wish to ask for, tell…

- “Yes, I see. Mugyeong-ah, what is the real reason you want to divorce?” “Grandfather?” “Don’t give me the nonsense excuse that your personalities don’t match. You have to tell the real reason before I decide whether to allow it or not. Isn’t that right? Since the bride is here, don’t lie.” I got goosebumps. He didn’t call us here just to confirm whether we would divorce. He called us to ask the reason in front of me. That was just like Baek Jinseok, cautious and…

The tightly closed curtains opened. Light poured in. A dark night. Every window of the banquet hall glowed golden. Noblemen dressed as splendidly as peacocks, strolled gracefully beneath the dazzling chandeliers. The late emperor had grown too frail to hold a birthday celebration before his death, and after ascending the throne, Tortan drastically scaled it back under the pretext that the empire's stability came first. In other words, a proper birthday celebration hadn't been held in…- 171.8 K • Completed
