Side Story 1. The Sage Who Became Light and Gold (2) Hileida Seydr, who was of good birth and had a neat appearance, was considered a likely candidate for the next head maid. She had an excellent talent for guiding those she served so that, even without going against their wishes, they did not cross the line. Born to a noble family, Hileida was even fluent in Karolinger, making her an indispensable asset for Philip, whose household was full of troubles. Eight years had passed since the grand…

The Last Pleasure of Winter Vacation “Oh! By the way, I heard from my little brother that you’re such a celebrity! I haven’t been to the capital in ages, so I just found out now, huh?” Click. Clio, who had just finished packing his suitcase, gave a suitable reply. “Little Trude must have exaggerated. Sir Trude, you know well how newspapers in the capital like to blow up even the smallest stories.” To be honest, Trude had never read even a single page of a newspaper in his life.…

The Northern Side of the Mountain Range (4) Arthur couldn’t wake up again even as Mietz grabbed him by the collar and shook him, and just collapsed completely. Maybe it was because he’d reunited with someone he could trust and lean on, and that made it easier for him to relax. With a deep sigh, Mietz picked up Chel on one hip and Arthur on the other, and hauled them up to the second-floor rooms. He put Chel in Isiel’s room, Arthur in the room he would share with Clayeo, and then returned to…

Side Story 1. The Sage Who Became Light and Gold (1) This is an old story, yet it is not the kind of narrative that calls for the song of a goddess. Melchior Lioghnan was rather sick of the muses’ chorus. Nine times, no matter the content, is simply too much. To begin with, this narration is not bound by the promise of the story. The lines begin outside the story. First, a question: How is the world constructed before the existence of the protagonist? Is it darkness where light and…

The Northern Side of the Mountain Range (3) "Where in this neighborhood could you possibly make any money? Hardly anyone lives here, and even if you tried to collect something, the duke’s private land must all be mountains, right?" "You only know one thing and not the other. There aren't many people, but rare creatures are scattered all over these mountain ranges. Even so, for outsiders to sneak in and dig them up, the wild animals are fierce and the terrain is rugged." "Well, even the road…

The next morning at dawn. Cleio, who had woken early, entered the bathroom and lit a small gas lamp. Then, using office scissors, he cut his own hair. While in neighboring Brunnenn, it was still customary for men among the lords to grow their hair long, in Albion it was standard to comb the front hair back and keep the back neatly trimmed. Unless one was a classicist or of noble lineage, it was rare to grow hair below the shoulders, but Cleio, who hadn’t known the circumstances at first, had…

Introduction to History (4) He had thought about it. The doubt of whether this world was simply "nothing more than a manuscript created through writing" had always lingered within 'Jeongjin'. But doubt could not turn into conviction. Too obvious a counter-evidence was engraved on his body, blocking such an assumption. Kleio held out the back of his hand to Regina. As he injected ether, a clear blue-azure rectangle and a thin line appeared on his skin. "I've already used this stigmata to turn…

The Idyll of Albion (7) Kleio once again unfolded Fran’s letter. He did so in order to use every single word as material and cast it into his own bullets. "… By the time I arrived, the battle was already underway. Without approaching the outpost, I assessed the situation from a distance using ‘Spectacles of Appraisal’, ‘Clarity Telescope’, and ‘Echo Amplification’. Soon, the battle came to a close, and two knights who were severely wounded were carried out by their comrades.…

The Idyll of Albion (8) "But Kleio, anonymous tips are often ignored, and named tips will be traced later by the crown prince, so we need a suitable tip-off route." "Right." "Now, it’s your turn to applaud me. I know people at both companies who can place a tip-off document right on the editor-in-chief’s desk where it can’t be missed." "Who?" "Some colleagues from the Violet Club work there." The Violet Club was a suffrage movement group Chel was active in. Since he hadn’t…

Towards the reprint! (4) “No, there’s no case of doing business like this. There’s a payment deadline, so according to that, the promissory note….” “I am doing this because I can fully handle it. The remaining amount can also be paid in installments during the process through negotiation, so I hope you’ll keep that in mind.” “Why are you going this far for me?” “I’m Fran’s friend, and Mr. Bartleby, you’re Fran’s friend as well, aren’t you? I don’t want that…

Against the Darkness (3) Lunchtime the next day. For the first time since arriving at the duke’s estate, Cleo set foot in the main castle’s office. Unlike the newly built wing, the main castle was medieval in style, with narrow windows and cold stone walls, so tapestries were hung everywhere. Surrounded by all kinds of documents, letters, and file folders, Lysa couldn’t tear herself away from work even while being treated by Cleo. Other knights and soldiers who needed treatment had…

Urgent Need for Compliance with the Labor Standards Act First of all, the Crown Prince. From Clio's perspective, it would have been easier to deal with him if he were, say, the possessor of the revised version of the book, or the author's evil twin. However, Behemoth called Melchior a human. If that's the case, he simply concluded that Melchior was just a human, merely under the muse’s blessing. Looking back at the circumstances when Taeseoton, awakened as a reincarnator, fainted, it seemed…

Against the Darkness (7) With Taetherton’s strength, the duke could be killed with a single touch, and after that, Cleio could be lawfully punished. That is, if he failed to heal Melchior. ‘I’m only level 4. If a level 7 knight attacks for real, I can’t stop him.’ The duke’s bedroom was past several thick doors from the hallway. Even if Cleio shouted for help, it would only echo in the empty corridor, where not even a single guard was posted. ‘Right. The reason I was brought…

Unconcealed passion radiated from within Katarina. Celestes, who had been leaning at an angle against the window frame with her arms folded, showed no reaction to her mother’s reproach. “Do you think your grandmother and I went through all that suffering just so you could waste it on some reckless game of playing soldier? It took three generations to build this fortune, but it only takes one to waste it all!” It had been revealed by the Internal Security Bureau’s investigation that Chel…

Place of Friendship (2) The summer semester that started in April required less preparation than the winter semester. Dione, who used to pack simply for him, made a deliberately disappointed face and joked. "What, the mischievous prince’s friendly visit woke up our sleeping young master. I’m a bit sad, you know." Unlike usual, Cleio could not return a smooth answer to her. Thanks to that, Dione, who gained momentum, teased him endlessly, asking if he was embarrassed, saying it was fun now…

Against the Darkness (5) "If I have to explain, I'm trying to reduce the scale of that fire. Because the inevitable blaze will burn throughout Albion." 'Well, that's not wrong either. War is a disaster of fire, and paper burns easily.' This world was literally a kingdom built on paper. Cleio was in a position where he had to defend himself so that an unexpected turn of events would not burn up the fragile manuscript like a careless spark. Whether he understood his words or not, Mietz, who…

The peaceful days that have passed—were they so tranquil only to make the ruin of this day more dramatic? No. Those days themselves were what gave the strength to get through the present. Arthur and the children were not weak. Surely, there would be a way to overcome this crisis. Cleio steeled his heart and organized the new information in his mind. 'If Tayserton had stormed in from the beginning under the name of the royal regent, Count Kishion would not have ordered a counterattack. They…

Albion’s Pastoral (11) “…Do you remember me from a previous life? It’s a past I myself do not know.” “If knowing something only after the fact still counts as knowing. If Sir Kishion had not rendered some small help to your previous life, then Gideon Asher at that time would hardly have thought to fund the beleaguered Kishion command.” The “memory” of the ‘Promise’ quickly rewound. When the Kishion territory battle broke out in the eighth world, the anonymous donor who…

The large bathhouse in the basement of the lodging building, located at the base of the castle, was connected to a hot spring. The children, freshly washed in the steaming water, gathered in the lounge connected to the dining room on the first floor of the lodging. The furniture in the lounge was all carved from rough, raw wood, but with the fireplace blazing, the atmosphere was cozy. Chel, dressed in a clean shirt and pants, sniffed alternately at both shoulders and asked, “Do I still…

For an Impermanent Peace (2) “The scales have not tipped to one side yet. On one side is the ‘purpose and hope’ his companions have placed in him, and on the other is the life of the ‘prophetic magician.’ Arthur has a kind and upright nature, the sort to know that choosing either side would be a betrayal.” Melchior silently approached Cleio, who was still gripping the window frame. Cleio turned his head. The crown prince’s profile and the cityscape entered his field of vision…
