Yudit blinked, wondering if he had misheard something. “What do you mean? You went on a monster subjugation mission, didn’t you?” “Yeah, but we were attacked by barbarians along the way. It was like they were trying to lure us somewhere. And when we reached their base…” “Khalid?” Jolted awake by Yudit’s call, Khalid blinked rapidly and continued his sentence. “Mm. We found Prince Hiore, barely alive.” “The real… Hiore?” “Would there be a fake…- 396.9 K • Completed
- "……!" Yudit hurriedly covered himself with the blanket and sat up. In the darkness, a familiar silhouette appeared. A tall man was standing by the window, looking at him. A breeze came through the slightly open window, causing the curtains around the man to billow out. As the curtains settled, Yudit was able to see the man's face clearly. "Khalid…!" Yudit jumped up, not even putting on his slippers, and ran to him. Khalid burst into laughter at the sight of Yudit hugging him…

- “He’s a real prince!” “He’s really a prince!” As they stood in front of the temple school, the children began whispering, voices lowered in awe. “But… the prince is a girl?” “Idiot, then he wouldn’t be a prince!” “But I know a thing or two about men, and all the ones I’ve seen were big, gross, and smelly. But the prince is clean, pretty, and smells nice.” A girl who looked to be about eleven said it in all seriousness. Yudit had to fight hard not to burst out…

- Yvonne was the one taken aback by the frank confession. “D-Do you really think writing is something you can just learn?” “Of course it’s difficult. But wouldn’t it be meaningful to show children growing up in a world where only men can be authors that anyone can write fun stories? And didn’t you say you originally wanted to publish under your own name?” “Who—Who said that?” “Selena mentioned it earlier. Said she’d heard it somewhere but couldn’t remember who told…

- At the call, Yudit turned around. It was the child who had been fidgeting with the magic stone, clearly wanting to keep it. Among the commoners, the child’s blond hair and blue eyes stood out. Clenching his small fists, the child took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, “See you tomorrow!” His voice carried on the wind. Yudit gave a soft smile and waved. “Alright. See you tomorrow.” The child’s face lit up as if someone had flipped a switch. He kept waving until Yudit…

- By the time Yudit finished his work at the publishing house, it was nearly lunchtime. He handed Jayna two packets of cookies—one for her and one for her children. “Thank you, really… you didn’t have to…” “You always work so hard.” Jayna had mentioned she wanted to publish two of Bonin’s books first. Since they were also works Yudit had wanted to publish, he gladly agreed. “You’re leaving early today?” Jayna looked surprised as Yudit reached for his coat. “I’ve…

- Shane stepped forward, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword. The hallway, deathly silent until now, grew steadily louder past a certain point. Yudit quickly realized the noise was coming from the dining hall—laughter and crying, shouting and singing, the clinking of cups and the crash of dishes. Shane pushed open the door, alert. “Wahahaha!” “Drink up! Drink!” Yudit stood frozen in disbelief. The servants were laughing and carousing, drunk out of their minds. Their noses and…

- “Haa…” Yudit let out a sigh as he collapsed onto the bed. His body felt stiff and sore, probably from sitting too long. The meeting had dragged on for a grueling six hours. Everyone had simply eaten whatever food was brought to the table and stayed focused on the discussion of building a new school. They all seemed deeply committed to the idea of education. Even two teachers who had just finished their regular classes joined the meeting. After reviewing the proposal, they offered some insightful…

- [To Prince Yudit, Hello, Prince Yudit. This is Selena Craven. The weather is growing colder, as winter seems to be approaching. I hope you are spending warm days. The reason I am writing today is that I would like to invite you once again to a banquet. I was disappointed that I could not share the principles of the drink fountain with you the last time we parted. This time, it won’t be a large-scale banquet like before, but a small and cozy gathering at a townhouse. If you could come and grace the…

- “Why do you think the students aren’t attending classes, sir?” Schmidt gave a bitter smile. “They probably think education isn’t all that necessary. Life is harsh—it makes studying feel like a luxury.” “But… why do they feel education isn’t necessary?” “Because, in truth, it isn’t. Learning the language is helpful, sure, but not knowing it doesn’t keep you from getting by. Same with math. Foreign languages? Most of them live their entire lives in the Empire—no need…
