“I don’t think it’s necessary to donate money or jewelry. I believe donations can also be made through songs, music, poetry, paintings, or even precious embroidery.” “Sonia’s words are correct. I will cherish anything that is given.” “If you plan to hold a charity event, when and where will it take place?” A woman raised her hand and asked. After a brief pause, Selena answered. “I’ll need to check the schedule, but for now, I’m thinking of holding it about a month…- 396.9 K • Completed
“My thoughts are a little different. The cause of the fire in the first place was someone’s cigarette ember. I believe it’s unfair for the Craven family to bear all the responsibility.” At that, Lyett immediately handed the conversation over to Yudit. “What do you think, Your Highness?” As everyone’s attention turned to him, Yudit, not used to being the center of attention, blushed slightly in embarrassment. “I agree with some of what the lady said.” The crowd murmured.…- 396.9 K • Completed
“Are you leaving now? The carriage is ready.” After a moment of hesitation, Yudit spoke to the servant. “Can I borrow some paper and a pen? I’d like to send my thanks to His Grace.” “Yes, I’ll bring them right away.” One of the servants went out and soon returned with paper and a fountain pen. Although he had been invited almost by force, he couldn’t leave without expressing his gratitude after receiving such treatment. Yudit wrote a short note on the paper and placed it in…- 396.9 K • Completed
“Understood.” Yudit hadn’t done it expecting anything in return, but the price Khalid had paid was far too sweet. He let out a sigh of relief. ”……” With the issue resolved, reality sank in. Khalid was wearing only a thin robe, and Yudit was in his underclothes. And they were in the same room. Yudit swallowed dryly as he glanced at Khalid. It’ll be fine. He said he hates omegas… “Are you feeling unwell?” Noticing Yudit’s sudden change in behavior, Khalid…- 396.9 K • Completed
Even if he was told to sleep, there was no way he could in this position. Besides, wasn’t Khalid the one who had tried to kill him in his sleep? That thought alone drove away what little drowsiness he had felt. Instead of closing his eyes, Yudit decided to ask Khalid a question. “Your Grace, why did you stay until the very end?” Among those who had remained behind, there was no one Khalid had any particular ties with. Yudit hadn’t thought him to be the type to prioritize others’…- 396.9 K • Completed
Yudit tucked the curtain into his arms and ran back toward them. Just as he and Khalid were about six paces apart, the ceiling shook violently, sending embers cascading down. Several large sparks landed on Yudit, and broken bricks struck his shoulder and calf. The impact was too much—he stumbled and rolled across the floor. “Yudit!” “Your Highness!” Yudit raised a hand from where he had fallen, signaling that he was fine. Then, limping, he approached them. “This should be enough…- 396.9 K • Completed
The hand that had touched the burning wood was already peeling, with blisters forming one by one. Khalid bit his lip hard. “You would have died early even without me trying to kill you. The fact that you’re still alive is a miracle.” He took off his damp jacket and wrapped it around Yudit’s hand. The cool fabric against his palm eased the pain slightly. “You’ve done enough. Get out before the whole place collapses.” Yudit looked up at the ceiling. It seemed like he could hold out…- 396.9 K • Completed
Though he had been interrogated, Markel retained his rank as centurion, so he led his soldiers toward Saintra Castle. In the distance, he caught sight of Noban's retreating figure. His shoulders slumped far lower than usual. Markel watched Noban with a look of satisfaction. What a hopelessly blind fool. Had he chosen me over Darion, his future might have been different. But then again, being born common stock, his narrow-mindedness was inevitable. He'll die in this battle anyway, let him meet Darion in the…- 396.9 K • Completed
Darion asked with difficulty. Markel scowled. “Do you think I’d be crazy enough to put that in? I told you it was the herbalist who put it in wrong from the start.” Darion closed his eyes. Markel had caused this matter. But that too had been an action for his sake. He saw Markel’s figure ruined by interrogation. Darion fell into thought. Whether Yudit survived or not, Darion was a dead man anyway. He had made up his mind to take everything upon himself and…- 396.9 K • Completed
“Fine. Keep that in mind. For the deep regard you have toward your friend, I will look after Markel myself, so you had better keep today’s conversation a secret.” Yudit spoke in a gentle coaxing tone. “You seem very drunk, so you had better return now. I will have the remaining wine sent to your quarters through a servant.” “Than-thank you.” Darion bobbed his head again and again as he gave thanks. He rose from his seat and staggered out of the dining hall. Yudit watched…- 396.9 K • Completed
