“We can move secretly.” “The Young Master will notice.” “Then I’ll just use magic. You stay in the room with me and we move at night.” “…Do you really think the Young Master will allow that?” Illa smiled. It wasn’t a question. It was certainty. Lebel fell silent and thought. ‘He won’t allow it…? Hm, that seems likely.’ Illa staying by Lebel’s side meant his condition wasn’t good. That meant Yutis wouldn’t leave either. Even just now they barely managed…- 245.1 K • Completed
- "...Who did you hear that from?" Yutis flinched. He'd only told him Norman was under surveillance, not that he was being held captive. Norman is currently imprisoned in the castle's basement as a criminal. Despite protests from the delegation, it's clear he used magic within the castle, so there's ample justification for keeping him imprisoned. "I overheard it." The knights and other attendants were complaining that the Empire couldn't be trusted and were shouting that they had to protect…

- Demon summoning. It had been a long time since demons first appeared in the Middle Realm. Demons were regarded as beings of evil, enemies of the gods, and were recorded in the holy scriptures as incarnations of sin. They were often likened to human desire, bringing chaos to the world. They were always portrayed as forces that disrupted peace, while those chosen by the gods defeated them and saved the world. Because of that, even forming a contract with a demon was enough for a person to be condemned.…

- Norman thought Lebel’s weak body and soul actually increased the chance of a successful summoning. He had already tried summoning many times with several bodies that were strong for humans, but he had never succeeded even once. When he tried to change his approach, the one who caught his eye was ‘Lebel Alcadi.’ Because the body was weak, that “being”!wouldn’t use his full power, so he wouldn’t break the balance of the Middle Realm. His soul was also faint, so it suited receiving a…

- “As you can see, things are in chaos around here.” “Ah, I understand what you mean. The Young Master is a frightening man. Your Highness must find it hard to deal with him.” Lebel listened to Norman’s words while reading the emperor’s letter. Even in the letter, Yutis was still treated like a monster. It seemed they were worried he might suddenly change his mind and invade the empire. It was the empire that needed to avoid war. Now that winter was over, the North was free to move…

- “…But there is nothing I can do. It seems that man has taken an interest in Yutis as well. He already has plenty to do, so there’s no need for him to waste his attention on unnecessary things. I’ll handle everything. I’ve already sent Karon.” “W-wait! Karon? I was wondering why I hadn’t seen him around lately…” “I assigned him to Norman. That one’s always plotting something, so he needs to be watched. Karon will do well.” Lebel smiled with satisfaction as he recalled the…

- “It’s a little better.” Though Lebel’s body was human, his soul was demonic, harboring demonic energy. Naturally, being exposed to demonic energy made him feel invigorated. Lebel conjured flames from his hands. His efforts had paid off; he could now sustain it longer and more intensely than before. Killing someone with this was still difficult, but his body was transforming to allow him to use the demonic energy. And once he fully adapted, he would be able to wield its power. Lebel…

- “Just seeing him smile at me and holding him like I did today already helps a lot…” Yutis whispered. Mahan pretended not to hear and only skimmed through the pile of documents. Before he knew it, Lebel had become the driving force behind Yutis’s movements. He probably meant it when he said he wanted to help. But it was only half the answer. He didn’t seem aware of it himself, but whenever Yutis asked difficult questions, he answered after a short pause but didn’t reveal his full…

- Yutis organized the mountain of documents while asking Mahan about what happened today. “Why didn’t you stop him?” Yutis had been receiving reports of Norman’s movements from Mahan. He didn’t want Norman approaching Lebel. And after learning that Norman was a mage and had once been Lebel’s attending physician, he became even more wary. “Young Madam said he wanted to talk. I think he got tired of him coming over and over. It must’ve been getting on his nerves.” “My wife,…

- The Empire had suffered a crushing defeat in the war against the North. Every citizen of the Empire considered that defeat a disgrace. Naturally, Biakin would feel the same. After taking the throne, Biakin might use demonic power to start another war and try to destroy the North. From the Empire’s point of view, sharing a border with the North and watching its growing strength day by day could only be seen as a threat. Even the previous war had been a preemptive attack meant to cut down a rising power…
