“…My lord, may I interrogate Jorsen? I will make sure nothing harms the North.” “Do as you wish.” “Thank you for your consideration.” Because of the demonic disturbance, a strange tension spread through the hall. They realized that demons truly existed in the North. Edmund calmly looked at the nobles and spoke. “Even if demons target the North, we won’t be easily defeated. Just as we defended our land from demonic beasts, we can defeat demons. That's why Yutis was chosen by…- 245.1 K • Completed
- Yutis kept an eye on Lebel from across the room. He knew Lebel hated crowds, so he had no choice but to let him go when Lebel claimed he was tired and needed a moment alone. Yutis wanted to stay by his side, but the other nobles wouldn't let him go. He could only steal glances at him whenever he had the opportunity. Lebel, standing alone against the wall, surveyed the crowd, exuding a sense of dignity. Dressed beautifully, he commanded attention. As he stood alone, a few nobles were seen loitering…

- His idea of boasting was a bit skewed, but it was boasting nonetheless. Jorsen stared at him, wondering if the man was being sincere. “I was merely displeased that the distance between you two was so small. Now, those people hovering around Yutis irritate me more than you do. Isn’t it obvious he is uncomfortable? I cannot fathom why they cling to him so.” Lebel gestured with his chin toward the crowd chattering around Yutis with a grimace. “They are the heirs of vassals who have served…

- The ballroom was in a state of intense excitement due to the events at the temple. Eager to learn every detail of the divine manifestation, those who were unable to enter the temple gathered around the witnesses. Even those who missed the event could watch it at any time through visual orbs. As soon as the New Year’s festival concluded, the priests quickly vanished, claiming they needed to immediately interpret the oracle. 'So, they intend to decipher those words...' The first sentence was one…

- At that moment, the nobles caught sight of the dragon perched upon Edmund’s shoulder. “So, that is the dragon rumored to have become a guardian.” “Indeed. Since a dragon has appeared, how could we possibly deny the existence of the gods?” “They say a dragon’s lifespan exceeds a thousand years. I had heard rumors that they dwell in secluded corners of the world, far from human eyes, but I never expected to behold one with my own sight.” A dragon had emerged, a species once…

- "Young Madam, I shall call Young Master Yutis." When Lebel remained still, Mahan spoke up, he was ready to step forward the moment an order was given. However, Lebel did not move as Mahan expected. "Mahan, what is the relationship between those two?" Mahan did not answer. At that moment, Yutis, who seemed to have a supernatural ability to detect Lebel's presence, quickly turned his head with a brightened expression. Lebel stayed in place and waited for him to approach. Yutis started walking…

- “How about this one?” “Does this not suit you better?” Karon stayed by Lebel’s side while he dressed. He peered into the jewelry box and pointed to one piece with his foot. Karon had been in charge of styling Lebel in the Demon Realm, so he possessed an excellent eye for gems. He chose a brooch set with a red ruby that matched the color of Lebel’s eyes. “It is a perfect match for the young madam’s eyes. Now I see why the young master purchased it.” Lebel flinched.…

- After the others left, Illa remained behind to apologize to Lebel on behalf of the priests and their rudeness. “I am sorry.” “It was not your apology I sought. I heard the temple holds great sway in the Empire. I see the same is true here.” “The priests possess abilities that are indispensable when we must treat those wounded by demonic beasts.” “The temple is not without its power. People always turn to the gods when times are hard.” Yutis stood at Lebel’s side and offered…

- The next day, word arrived from the temple saying they would visit Hestro Castle. The castle became bustling. Ironically, Luceris was the busiest of the bunch. One of the reasons the priests said they were coming to the castle was because they wanted to see Luseris. Lebel watched the priests attentively. Until now, the only priest he had seen was Illa, but now he was seeing others as well. They were all humans who had received Michael’s blessing. But Illa did receive the strongest…

- Luceris jumped in shock. He suspected Lebel had an ulterior motive, but he didn't expect to be forced to act as a guard on top of being made to contract against his will. Now small, Luceris escaped Lebel's arms and flew around the room in circles, protesting loudly. "You have to protect your contractor." "Now, now, Lebel. If he dislikes it this much, wouldn't it be better to just cancel the contract?" Edmund, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke up. It would be a lie to say he…
