“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…- 396.9 K • Completed
- 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…

- “Don’t act like getting hit by one arrow is a trivial matter. If you’re going, I’m going. If you’re not, I’m not going either.” Shane was in this state because of me. Shane frowned as Yudit stubbornly stood firm. And the enemies finally revealed themselves. Three swordsmen on horseback, swords drawn. There were probably archers lurking in the dark as well. One of the taller swordsmen rode forward, pulled something from his coat, and held it up to the light. Then he looked straight at…

- “I think it would be a good idea to settle here for the night… What do you think?” Bagon asked cautiously. Behind them, the burning red sunset had begun to soak into the ridgeline. They’d ridden for hours without rest to shake their pursuers, and even the horses were clearly worn out. Yudit ran a hand over Reed’s mane and said, “Yeah, let’s stop here.” The moment he stepped down, he felt his strength hit its limit. Dragging his heavy body to the water’s edge, he let his horse…

- Was the Emperor really that afraid of the Duke? In the end, they were still subjects of Adenauer. Did he really have to cast them out so cruelly? “The Emperor has already given up on being Emperor. Even if it hadn’t been Your Highness, His Excellency would’ve taken action soon enough. Just… not now. We’ve already lost too many troops, and the Emperor is fully prepared. The odds of winning are about fifty-fifty. And once we do win…” “We’ll have to face the next enemy.” Reginald…

- “Yes, that’s right.” “I was so hungry, but I feel better now that the food is outside.” “I’m sorry. When this house was built, bustles were not in fashion.” Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version of the paragraph: The conversation, which could have been seen as inappropriate in the context of noble discussions, was simply two people being honest with each other. Yudit appreciated the authenticity of their relationship. Sonia, having finished her champagne in one go, took the…

- “……?” Yudit woke up alone in the wide bed. He lifted his back and looked around. The bed had been tidied. “……” How could he have fallen asleep after taking something that big. Even if he felt safe, that was too much. He let out a breath, and ran a hand over the soft sheets. Had Khalid already left? As Yudit glanced around, he noticed the door was open. He got up to close it, but there was a dull ache below. His thighs ached too, like he’d been riding all day. It’s going…
