CHAPTERS
Humans instinctively disliked and rejected anything unfamiliar. It didn’t take long for public opinion to turn negative after Fedel made a cautious remark suggesting Aeryl was “picky about people.” Things might have been different if Aeryl had been more proactive in socializing with others. With his beautiful face and composed demeanor, it was easy for people to take a liking to him. But Aeryl simply didn’t have the luxury. Just going into battle for the first time had been overwhelming.…- 279.4 K • Completed
- She clearly tried to look out for others, in her own quiet way, with that stony face of hers. Maybe that was why the soldiers liked her so much. “I’m alright now. Things are still awkward between us, but I’m sure it’ll get better with time.” “Then that’s good. They’re not bad men. It’s just that this subjugation started with so many disruptions, things haven’t settled properly.” “And there’s no Innis to set the discipline straight, is there?” “……” Aeryl…

- “What’s your opinion about Innis?” “Innis? I don’t quite understand the context of the question…” “Innis used to be the centurion of the Grand Duke’s household.” A centurion was a position commanding a hundred soldiers. It wasn’t a high rank, but it certainly wasn’t a low one either. “We invested quite a bit in her. For nearly three years, she served as the soldiers captain in the purge unit.” “I see.” That explained why the soldiers treated her so…

- “Your Grace! You must come to your senses…!” “Quiet.” “…What?” Aeryl blinked in confusion as he was shoved under the desk. ‘What. What is he doing?’ And of all places, what ended up at his eye level was the Grand Duke’s lower body. Because he had to shove Aeryl in, the Grand Duke was now sitting with his legs slightly apart—putting them far too close. Even through the trousers, that gave off an overwhelming presence, and Aeryl’s eyes kept drifting toward…

Dojin’s family only got up to leave after sharing dinner together at his house. By then, Jiho’s shyness had eased up considerably. Dojin’s mother, warm and sociable, had taken quite a liking to Jiho and even chuckled while telling him to call them Mom and Dad. “Jiho, Mom and Dad are heading out now. It’s cold outside, so don’t come out. If there’s anything you want to eat, just let Mom know, okay?” “Y-yes… okay….” “Wait, before I go—here.” To top it off, she…- 289.6 K • Completed
- “Is it alright if I call you Jiho?” “Y-Yes… You, you can speak comfortably too…” “Oh. Then, is it okay if I drop the honorifics?” “Y-Yes…” His slightly flushed cheeks looked adorable. From what they saw online, he was twenty, but the way he shyly averted his gaze made him look like a teenager going through puberty. “Is Dojin treating you well?” “Huh? Y-Yes?” “You know, that Dojin—he’s the youngest in our family, and he was spoiled rotten when he…

The knights looked at me strangely when I suddenly changed my mind, but they took me back to the temple anyway. Even in the stillness of late night, the temple building glowed faintly blue. The streets were quiet, and only the gatekeeper stood at the main gate, exuding a heavy presence. I suddenly felt so small and insignificant. The holy knights stood a little distance away rather than greeting the gatekeeper, as if they expected me—their charge—to explain the situation myself. ‘They’re…- 183.7 K • Completed
- A little while later, after completely tidying up the kitchen, Dojin sat Jiho down at the table and laid out the meal. Warm rice and radish soup full of beef. Alongside that, a ten-dish spread that included soy-braised beef. There was a specific reason why there were far too many side dishes. ‘Wait a minute. Why is the rice still untouched in the cooker…? Don’t tell me…’ ‘I-I… slept all day. So, I didn’t eat…’ ‘Then you’ve gone two full days without a…

- Chapter 9: A Chance Encounter at the Bar All the buildings at the Linjiang complex were one apartment per floor. That day, Shen Hechuan had just casually brushed off Wu Huilan’s question without giving it much thought. He didn’t expect it to backfire so soon—and for her to even spot the little bear slippers that Qiao Le had worn. Thinking back to how Qiao Le had mentioned wanting to buy a matching pair, Shen Hechuan thought that if he’d known this would happen, he might as well have just…

- The doctor, after closing the door, offered a seat to Dojin. As Dojin sat down on the sofa, he spoke.“What’s this about?”“Normally, we’d speak to the patient’s guardian, but since Seo Jiho has no listed guardian…”“Is there a problem?”“Rather than a problem…”What the doctor said next was unexpected.“It’s about Seo Jiho’s speech impairment.”“Yes?”“According to the tests, there’s nothing physically wrong with his speech functions. He’s able to produce sound, and…
