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…

- Prologue It was a bleak night. With neither the moon nor the stars in sight, the area around the imperial palace was much darker than usual. A long shadow stretched before the chambers of the Fifth Prince. ‘No guards… huh.’ Khalid clicked his tongue inwardly. Even if he had been cast aside, he was still a prince of the empire. To be so poorly guarded—it was a miracle he had survived this long. Khalid took out a sleeping incense from his robes and lit it. Wisps of smoke curled and seeped…

The result was much cleaner than Mason had expected, and there was little bleeding. “Administering antidote. Fedel, give me the antidote.” Without lifting his gaze from the wound, Aeryl extended his hand. Fedel’s face twisted in displeasure. Being ordered around by Aeryl was extremely irritating. But as a medic, he couldn’t defy the military physician’s command—especially not with so many eyes on them.

- “Really annoying.” A cold, faint sigh drifted through the air. The room was dark, with only a sliver of moonlight offering a reluctant glow.

Now, as the seventh day arrived, his awareness returned, but he found his lover crying so pitifully in his brother’s arms, and his heart felt extremely complicated. He…

- “What’s with that face?” At Muheon’s question, Hakyung turned even paler and shook his head fiercely. Even while coughing from hurriedly swallowing a mouthful of rice, he kept shaking his head no. Worried he might choke, Muheon quickly handed him some water. Hakyung’s coughing only subsided after he’d drained the entire glass. “I—I don’t use social media! I don’t record videos or anything!” “Yeah?” “Yes, yes! I never do stuff like that.” Like a thief with a…

- “Ugh…” Jiho let out a small grunt as he tugged down the thick scarf that reached up to his nose. Dojin adjusted it back into place and said, “It’s cold outside.” Jiho looked slightly sulky, but Dojin didn’t loosen the scarf. It was the transitional period between autumn and winter—chilly, yes, but not cold enough to require bundling up like this. Dojin knew that, too.
