Grab! He seized the back of my neck. I reflexively opened my eyes and met the gaze of the man who had lifted me off the ground. They were dark gray. Deep. They rippled. Exactly like the shadow of a flood. ……But unlike that atmospheric gaze, the man wore an expression as if he were looking at the strangest thing in the world. “…….” ‘…….’ It was an unwanted exchange of glances. “Captain? Is there a problem?” “No. It's not a problem. Let's talk up…- 171.8 K • Completed
- The plan was executed. From the Second Prince's perspective, it was a perfect success. From Emperor Denos's perspective, it was a clumsy failure. Originally, they had agreed to kill him, but the Second Prince spared the duke. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Denos grabbed the back of his head. But he could do nothing against the Second Prince, who had voluntarily stepped down immediately after the plan's execution. He found some solace in the fact that the duke had been rendered completely…

- 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…

- I asked the thing I was most curious about first. "Oh, my dad's here." She pointed with both hands at a handsome, tall young man. ……Huh? Who? The man rubbed the back of his neck. His face was expressionless, but his earlobes were slightly red. I was so startled I slipped off Rotol's shoulder. I splattered onto the floor like a half-baked pancake. Startled, Rotol scrambled to pick me up. "Are you alright?!" Rotol looked at Mirim. "He’s broken?" Fortunately, I…

- Valita smiled, his eyes twinkling. He accepted the end. ‘It is a pity.’ His regrets were ordinary and mundane. His regrets were ordinary and worldly. He regretted not enjoying alcohol more. He regretted holding back on sex. He avoided anything that might harm his body. ……He did not continue to learn the sword. Suddenly, his left leg throbbed. Valita's smile deepened. The statue, which had been falling as if frozen in time, was now right before his eyes. His thoughts expanded…

- The Fourth Prince momentarily lost his composure and thought, 'What the hell is wrong with this bastard?' Then he belatedly fixed his expression. Kekeke! When I laughed in his face, a strange gaze turned my way. I didn't stay quiet either. Holding onto the resentment from the greenhouse, I helped Kaelus. Kyaa. I acted extra cute in a way I normally never did. I climbed out of the cage and onto his body. Kaelus's face froze at this unscripted support. In the past, it would have been due to…

- Valita sensed it. Something unusual was unfolding before his eyes. It was a change that would profoundly impact his future path. He suppressed his excitement, which fluttered like a freshly caught fish, and smiled at the duke, who was enveloped by a cold aura. "The dragon was quite adorable." "……How did you get here?" "Ah. I saw the door was open, so I came in." "……It was open." Kaelus's mouth twisted as he repeated the words. "Didn't you see the chains and lock?" "I did.…

- Prince of Denos. If it’s the Emperor’s birthday celebration, then envoys or… well, something like that would come, right? Something like that had happened in the south not long ago. It was ridiculous how shamelessly they had pushed their way in. Politics, especially between nations, is never that simple... I sighed inwardly. I was starting to get a sense of the situation. They were probably formally invited to the mansion. However, regarding the greenhouse, it was clearly…

- I should’ve just stayed put instead of doing something meaningless… I regretted it, I was drained of all strength as if every ounce of my energy had been sapped. I couldn't stay like this forever. Damage control. I had to clean up……! I jumped to my feet, grabbed the strongest-looking liquor, and shoved it to Nitan's mouth. “Uh…… alcohol……? That drink…… I don’t usually drink…….” "Hmm. Well, if you say so…." Nitan took a sip. His eyes widened…

- Kaelus and Tortan were childhood friends. People assumed Kaelus's choice during the civil war was naturally due to that relationship. Of course, that was one reason. But it wasn't the main one. "……." The Second Prince advocated war against Denos. He dreamed of uniting the two lands to become emperor of a great empire. The problem was, it wasn't entirely a pipe dream. Possibility. That was the seed of tragedy. Many were beguiled. Nobles, especially, were blinded by the wealth…
