“…….” Sharhan shook himself again. Just imagining it made him feel awkward and tingly all over. ‘When I see Lestel, I’ll ask him directly this time. I can’t keep avoiding it forever.’ If he kept running away and putting it off, something similar might happen again and he’d snap like he did before. Wait… something similar? Did that mean he might end up seeing Lestel confessing to Ardelle, or some other girl, or guy, again? Ha. Just the thought of it made him mad. If it were a…- 264.3 K • Completed
- Digging through the snow alone had been impossible from the start. That meant reaching the villa had to be the priority. If Lestel was alive, he would come to the same conclusion, and head there as well. But if Sharhan made it to the villa and Lestel wasn’t there… just imagining it felt like his heart was being torn apart. It had been the same in Verden. When he’d suddenly lost consciousness and awakened inside a cell, he’d nearly gone mad with worry for Lestel. Feeling a panic attack coming…

- It felt like something enormous was crushing him. His body was heavy, and he couldn’t breathe. It was so cold his teeth were chattering audibly. ‘Cold. I feel like I’m going to freeze to death. Lestel, come here and hold me. I need my human blanket… Lestel!’ Sharhan, curled up tightly and speaking to Lestel in his mind, suddenly snapped his eyes open. His vision was pitch black. No, it was all white. He couldn’t even move a single finger, as if he were trapped. ‘What is this……

- Lestel sat up like it was nothing, but Ardelle, startled, suddenly began hiccuping. “T-that… hic…” “Were you two sharing a secret or something? Talking about something I’m not supposed to hear?” “N-no, it’s not… hic.” Holding her chest tightly with both hands, Ardelle’s hiccupping looked suspicious to anyone watching. As Sharhan slowly ascended the stairs, he glanced between hiccuping Ardelle, who had slumped to the floor, and Lestel, who stood blankly nearby, his gaze…

- “……?!” Just like Sharhan, Lestel had struggled to fall asleep. He’d simply closed his eyes and waited, eventually dozing off. Only to be awakened by an unfamiliar, irritating sound. He opened his eyes and sat up. ‘What was that? I’m sure I heard something…’ He moved carefully, not wanting to wake Sharhan, and approached the window. Peeking through the curtain, he saw snow drifting down faintly in the hazy moonlight. ‘Was it the sound of snow? No, that’s not it.’ As…

- At first, he dismissed it as a ridiculous assumption, but the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Above all, who else but the emperor could the Marquis of Ailun, once a man who held power in the palm of his hand, possibly consider worthy of such high regard? ‘Didn’t they say Lord Luhas spread an unusually large amount of Paphun tea in and around the imperial palace?’ He also recalled hearing that addiction had become a serious problem in the capital. That meant, perhaps,…

- “What are you talking about?” Only then did Lestel turn his gaze to Sharhan. Seeing the confusion in Lestel’s face, Sharhan sneered exaggeratedly. “You seem bothered because it’s someone who almost became your bride, huh? The way you looked at her was so dewy, I thought you’d smeared water all over your eyes.” In his head, he was thinking, ‘What do I care if that bastard Lestel looks at Ardelle or not?’ but his mouth moved on its own. He spat out the words and immediately…

The building and garden were clean but minimally decorated. Only one thought came to my mind as I looked at Grand Duke Kun's capital residence: Doctor Kim would love this. Most buildings in Tubain were adorned with ornate decorations and marble, and the Adeye residence was no exception. On the other hand, Doctor Kim’s room was remarkably plain for the Adeye family head. The reason was simple: Doctor Kim didn't like flashy decorations. But why was the exterior of the mansion so ornate? Doctor…- 309.3 K • Ongoing
- Clunk, clunk. The carriage shook her body, but Solongo, accustomed to it, picked up her pen and diligently scribbled down the list. It was somehow annoying. I was the one who caused the accident, but she could at least offer a word of comfort. “Solongo, do you really have to do that now?” “The moment we get back to the mansion, the matriarch will tell us to prepare the dowry. With Adeye’s reputation, you can’t just do anything carelessly.” You’re doing that in advance? Was her…

- The bomb had exploded. Rick could only describe this moment as a massive explosion. The problem was that while Adeye Lu had thrown the bomb, it was the Grand Duke he served who detonated it. The White Branch meeting was brief, but its aftermath will likely be so profound that it will be talked about forever. The attendees were already filled with laughter and ridicule. ‘Adeye Lu, who knows nothing but to fuck with men, is coming forward as Salvation, hahaha!’ Outside the conference building,…
