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…- 396.9 K • Completed
- 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…

- Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Khalid smiled and ruffled his hair. “It’s alright. I’m not going far this time. I’m just doing some light maintenance work.” But even at his reassurance, Yudit’s expression remained stiff. Though the northern lands looked peaceful from the window, they were anything but. There were monster attacks, raids from barbarian tribes, and constant tension with neighboring countries. It was only two years ago that they’d nearly eradicated the…

- At Yvonne’s repeated pleas, Ernel finally snapped. “If you keep this up, I’ll toss you aside and take Beth instead.” “What did you just say?” “You think I won’t? So quit being a nuisance.” Yvonne was at a loss for words in the face of his vulgarity. Ernel pulled her into his arms and said, “It’s all for us. We survived that brutal winter, didn’t we? We have to keep surviving.” All you have to do is pretend not to see anything. That line was so sweet, and…

- “Why… why are you following me?” “I just want to speak with you for a moment.” “I don’t want to.” “It won’t take long.” After making sure no one else was around, Yvonne glared at Yudit and asked, “What is it you’re so curious about?” “Bonin…” The moment he said the name, Yvonne clamped her hand over Yudit’s mouth. To cover a prince’s mouth—such rudeness should never have been allowed, but she looked so desperate that he couldn’t bring himself…

- “Oh, you’re not saying that without even reading the book, are you?” Selena flared up, and Yvonne let out a snort. “I doubt there’s anyone who’s read more of that author’s works than I have.” “Have you read <Strawberry Field Romance>?” “A piece of trash. The author just transplanted their fantasies from their own life into it.” “Then what about <The Dusky Deep>?” “How do you even know that one? It’s more of a diary than a novel. They just poured…

- Yudit shuddered at the dizzying sensation. The ticklish and slightly torturous feeling disappeared, leaving only pleasure in its wake. Khalid’s tongue delved into the hole, the wet flesh exploring every nook and cranny as if it were a living creature. The sensation of the tongue tracing hi folds was so intoxicating that Yudit quickly melted in Khalid's embrace. "Ugh, ugh…" Yudit buried his face in the pillow to stifle his moans. Khalid stifled a laugh as he watched his. A finger replaced his…
