As dusk fell, lights lit up one after another in the training ground. . Yudit and Lucius stood on the floor of the training ground, facing each other. Lucius, looking at Yudit who was a head shorter than him, suddenly scratched his head as if he was wondering what he was doing. His head had cooled a little on the way to the training ground. But the matter had already gone this far, and since there were quite a few spectators, it was too late to cancel now. “Have you ever learned the…- 396.9 K • Completed
- “I’m sorry. I didn’t know my lover would be so naive.” “Am I still your lover, Your Grace?” “I never said I wanted to break up.” So, we must still be lovers, Khalid seemed to imply. Yudit recalled the Omegas who had been glaring at him earlier, as if they were about to kill him. He already felt the exhaustion creeping in. “What are you thinking?” Khalid asked, locking eyes with Yudit. Just as Yudit was about to answer, he suddenly felt his breath tighten. A powerful aura…

- “Haa….” Yudit let out a low sigh and sat up. As he looked around, he noticed that the furniture was glowing gold, signaling the break of dawn. The woman in his dream had been his mother—a maidservant commoner, not even a lady-in-waiting. A woman of ill-fated beauty, who had caught the emperor’s eye. Yudit didn’t know if she had ever wanted a child, but she had cherished him dearly. Surviving in the imperial palace with a child, without any backing or political knowledge, had been far from…

- Edmond desperately blocked the man’s sword. Every time their swords clashed, the soft ground caved in with deep dents. He grew frightened. Even if it was only a wooden sword, if struck with that much force his bones could break. Finally, terrified, Edmond shouted. “F-fine, I’ll just give it to you. Take it!” “That won’t do.” Barely keeping his stance, Edmond struggled as he crossed swords with him and then noticed Garen drawing near. Earlier, he had laughed at that cheap trick with…

- The one who covered Edmond’s mouth was a man with a long vertical scar on his cheek. His appearance was so scary that no ordinary person would dare pick a fight with him. At the killing intent radiating from him, Edmond shook his head violently. Garen, you say something too! At Edmond’s look, Garen waved his hand and said. “Absolutely not.” That makes us look even more suspicious! When Edmond glared at him fiercely, Garen’s face crumpled. “Hey, they’re not spies.” “You know…

- “Damn it.” Edmond threw his sweat-soaked shirt onto the floor. Garen glanced at him nervously and quickly picked it up. The shirt had been the innocent victim, yet Edmond’s anger didn’t cool. In the end, Garen became the target. Edmond grabbed Garen’s shirt and shook him hard. “If you’d just told me properly, there’s no way the wig would’ve been exposed!” Garen felt wronged. It was Edmond himself who had ordered him to catch up with Yudit, because Garen’s stamina was slightly…

- The servants came in a row and put two whole roast boars on each table. At Yudit’s table, they added an entire deer. There were also many game animals that could be hunted, such as woodcocks and pheasants. The skins gleamed with juices, and the potatoes, onions, and mushrooms laid around them were roasted to a golden brown. Smoked salmon and trout were served as well, accompanied by fragrant herbs like lemon and dill. The bread baskets were refilled until they were full again, and unlike the soup, the…

- “I’ll wash alone, so you can leave now.” Edmond frowned slightly at Yudit’s words. He’s a servant who could not hide his expression well. “If I don’t attend you, I’ll be punished.” “It’s fine, go. I’ve bathed alone for a long time, I’m more comfortable that way.” When Yudit refused again, Edmond’s face twisted at once. He clearly disliked what Yudit had said. Then Garen nudged Edmond’s arm with his elbow. Only then did Edmond reluctantly move. Once he saw the…

- “Is that a carrier pigeon?” Shane asked while looking out from the carriage. “I think so. Probably from Selena.” Yudit replied as he untied the slip of paper from the pigeon’s slender leg. As he read the contents, his expression relaxed. “Khalid’s gone back. To the duchy.” “I see.” Yudit let out a breath. That’s one thing off the list. He smiled faintly, until he noticed another note. When he turned it over, his face immediately went pale. “What’s…

- “What letter?” “The one you sent along with your hair.” “Ah, that…” “You don’t have to answer if it’s hard to talk about.” When Yudit hesitated, Shane cut him off, as if the question was pointless. In truth, there was no reason he couldn’t answer. It just felt a bit awkward to admit it had been a crude form of threat. “It’s nothing much. Just…” Yudit had just started to speak when the sound of galloping hooves echoed from afar. At least fifty riders. His…
