Even Aeryl, who was deliberately ignoring him, was having a miserable time. Mason, oblivious to the situation, was on the verge of fainting. “Ah, it’s not even assembly time yet. Is my outfit not in order? What did I do wrong this time? I didn’t forget to check my weapon, and I ate just the right amount. Ah! I couldn’t be bothered, so I didn’t change my underclothes—could that be it? But how would he even know?!” “……” Then suddenly, the pheromones cut off…- 279.4 K • Completed
Hancanera, even now, is reclining sideways in the his antechamber, savoring my misery. The bird that had once been caged underground flew away, but even what the bird believed to be freedom was, in truth, just a larger cage. The wings that beat so powerfully were artificial—wings Hancanera had given him, and wings he could snap at any time with the flick of a finger. How many days had Hancanera waited, amused, eager to reveal that truth to the bird? “You’ve finally earned recognition from…- 183.7 K • Completed
- Innis flinched slightly, but she didn’t stop talking. “I like white bread. The honey soaks right into the cut sides.” “Wow. Then thick slices would be best.” As her words grew a little slower, Aeryl checked the wound at the same time. ‘It’s opened up. Doesn’t look like it needs stitches, though.’ Luckily, the chilly weather had kept it from getting infected. Disinfection and some ointment would be enough. Aeryl quickly disinfected the area, applied the medicine, and wrapped…

- It resembled a gray wolf, but it was a horrific, monstrous creature with its flesh and skin hanging loosely from its bones. When it bared its teeth, it almost seemed like it was smiling. “A ghost wolf pack.” “It seems we’re surrounded.” Six or so ghost wolves circled around Aeryl and his group slowly. Their movements were those of predators stalking their prey, closing in little by little. It felt as if they were slowly tightening their grip. This is dangerous.It seemed like the…

- Up until now, the Grand Duke’s medicine had been made using the herbs Aeryl had brought along just in case. While preparing to move north, Aeryl had gathered a separate bundle of herbs specifically effective on pheromones, intending to use them himself. When packing, he had tossed that bundle in on a whim—fortunately so. But now, after making a few doses of the Grand Duke’s medicine, his supply had quickly run dry. ‘Good thing I took the time to scout the area in advance.’ He’d worried…

- “Yes. I’m only now getting the chance to greet you. I waited because I heard you would call for me, but you never did.” “I’ve called for you several times. If you didn’t respond, that’s on you.” “That’s what I’m saying. You did call—but I never heard about it. You sent Fedel to call me, didn’t you? I have something to say about that.” Aeryl waited for Kyla’s response as he observed her. It had been a simple explanation, but her brows furrowed as if she understood the…

- At any other time, Aeryl would have avoided him, or the Grand Duke would have ignored him, but this time was different. Aeryl raised his left arm and tapped his wristwatch with the index finger of his right hand. ‘Don’t overdo it and come back soon.’ Only the knights were going today, so Aeryl couldn’t go with them. He was worried and wanted him to return earlier than usual. The Grand Duke silently watched him for a moment, then turned his head. ‘Looks like he’s not going to…

- “No, not at all.” His expression and words both said no, but his pheromones were trembling faintly. “Your pheromones say otherwise.” “Hmm. I don’t know.” “Try to focus. You have to be able to feel your own pheromones to control them. Think of it like peering into your own mind.” The Grand Duke concentrated deeply but soon shook his head.“I can’t feel anything at all.” “You’ll get there eventually. It takes practice.” Since the medicine was working well,…

- “He discriminates against people? How could a doctor possibly do that?” All the military doctors in the subjugation unit were among the most skilled in the Grand Duke’s territory. Even without participating in the subjugation efforts, their reputations were already well established. Yet they joined the grueling campaign every year because of their strong desire to help others. For people like that, the idea of treating patients differently based on personal bias was utterly…

- Because he’d always perceived Aeryl as a man with tousled hair like a dandelion puff and oversized glasses, seeing him like this was a shock. If an omega with a face like that had been out in the world, society wouldn’t have left him alone—yet he was working as a physician. Truly, he was an intriguing person in every sense. ‘I’ll have to look into him more.’ The Grand Duke let go of the hand he was holding. At that, Aeryl quickly turned his head and looked at him. “You’re…
