254“……” “……” “……What.” As I pulled away, I saw Kal’s face, utterly stunned. He looked as if he’d just witnessed the sun rising in the west. ‘…Uh.’ What’s with that reaction? ‘Was that… not right?’ Khalid blinked and murmured, “I was just about to say… there was blood on your lips…” He trailed off, unable to finish. His face was flushed all the way up to his hairline, and my heart gave a sharp thud. What? ‘C-come to…

Episode 255 Father stared fixedly at my lips. ‘He’s not looking at the lips I kissed Khalid with—he’s looking at the wound near my lips. Yes, it’s the wound near my lips he’s concerned about. The wound near my lips…’ As expected, Father clicked his tongue lightly and produced a small bandage from his coat. Ever prepared—the mark of a man with three reckless children. “Who would lay a hand on someone else’s daughter’s lips…?” Rip, tap. “How dare they……

Episode 256 The Mage King strained desperately to move his mana, but it was futile. This was a new restraint, crafted by Rubian solely for the purpose of binding the Mage King. Had he fully transformed into a dark mage, things might have been different, but his plan had stalled partway through. The Mage King was overcome by the feeling that he’d been ensnared by Rubian herself. “Guards! Guards! Capture the intruders! Where are my mages?” He shouted, but no one came. Why not?…

Episode 257 “Kill me? Me? How dare you, non-mages! Who do you think—!” “Shut up. Shut up! Shut up! Please, just! Shut up!” Void shrieked, losing all reason. At that moment, the “First” let out a beastly roar and invoked his magic. The binding spell that shot out from him halted Void’s movements abruptly. “Ghk.” “If you meant to kill me, you should have succeeded with your ambush!” The “First” rose from his kneeling position. And just as he prepared to…

258 At that moment. “The spell circle’s done—let’s go!” Rubian had finished inscribing the sigil that would lead down to the royal palace’s underground. Yet Khalid had hardly moved for some time now. To be precise, since she’d told him all that had happened in the tower. “…My soul, you said?” “Yes. My soul drifted off somewhere and came back. I just explained it, didn’t I?” “…” “Hey, what’s wrong? I get that it’s something to be shocked by.…

Episode 259 “……” Steady breaths touched his skin, then drifted away. He sat before the bars, gazing quietly at the woman who slept, her head pillowed on his palm. This was serious. Now, he knew how those gentle features curved when she smiled. ‘Just once more…’ Would he not see it again? Suddenly, he felt the gritty sensation of dirt on the back of his hand. Despite the supremely uncomfortable position, there was no pain. Rather, he was just grateful that this…

Episode 260 Through the magic of regression, Khalid traveled back to the past. He coerced the Dragon God into sending him to the site of Duchess Zevert’s carriage accident. Clatter, clatter! Whinny! ‘Damn.’ From atop the cliff, what he witnessed was a carriage already running wild. ‘Why now, of all times?’ If only he’d gone back further, he could have prevented the accident from the start! But there was no more time to hesitate. On the opposite cliff, he glimpsed the…

Episode 261 The Mage King harbored ambitions of conquering the continent, yet at every turn his plans were thwarted by Leviathan Zevert. Harboring malice as a result, he devised a plan to steal Leviathan’s child. He ambushed Rosetta Zevert with the help of a pregnant female mage. Rosetta, heavy with child and struck in the abdomen, was unable to defend herself properly. The remainder of her escort were all slaughtered by the one known as “the First,” who had been lying in wait…

Episode 262 As the nearest knight collapsed, the Mage King swiftly reached for the magic device that released the mana restraints and pressed it to his body. “We have to stop him! He’s going to complete the dark magic summoning circle!” I hastily stirred my own magic. The Mage King, too, must have recovered the memories of his past thanks to the Dragon Deity’s power. And in that past… He stole the formulas for the dark magic summoning circle from me. “Thank you, my…

Episode 263 Wistal loved humankind. She especially enjoyed watching a certain human man. The reason was that he was one of the very few humans capable of standing against the magical beasts, and more than anything, he was an extraordinarily kind person. At least, that was true until he lost his child to the beasts. ‘If I could just lend a bit of strength, they could live so much more peacefully.’ And so, she chose to help the humans, even if it meant fighting against the Dragon God…

Episode 264 “It’s a medicine that creates a temporary core for a mage who has lost theirs. The principle is to absorb mana from the air and maintain a new core within the body.” The atmosphere in the room changed instantly. “But its effects don’t last very long—you might have to take the medicine for the rest of your life to maintain the newly formed core. Of course, if you can receive a steady supply of mana from someone else, that wouldn’t be necessary…” The girl…

Episode 265 “In Arcadia, the throne has always gone to the strongest mage among the royal family. Lady Rubian, you are the last remaining royal here and also the most brilliant mage. You have more than enough qualifications. You rightfully ought to ascend the throne!” “For reference, I accidentally cut down the Mage King’s ‘sixth’—he tried to disguise himself in a crimson-embroidered priest’s robe and flee to the continent like a rat.” Licht added this with a smile that betrayed…

266The elders murmured—long sighs and thoughtful hums—as each fell into their own contemplation. It didn’t seem to be a matter that would be easily resolved. Before long, their conversation drifted to magical formulas. Rubian lightly explained the method for breaking the Mage’s Crest. Of course, it wasn’t something that could be understood in a single hearing, so she promised to adapt the magic circle so that even ordinary mages could comprehend it. “Oh… Ohhhh! As…

Episode 267 “You heard about Ruby and Kal, didn’t you?” “I did.” “It just… it breaks my heart for those kids. I can hardly stand it.” Rosetta spoke in a trembling voice. She had not witnessed it herself, but she had heard the general outline. How could such burdensome stories ever befit those precious children? “And from what I hear, Rubian wasn’t happy in that ‘other world’ either. She talks so nonchalantly about being passed from shelter to shelter and being…

268 The first person I met upon arriving at the southern portal was the Emperor, beaming from ear to ear. “Welcome, Princess!” “Your Majesty!” He spread his arms so warmly that I ran up and threw myself into his embrace before I even realized it. “Oh, my. Forgive me… Some habits die hard, it seems.” Feeling awkward, I tried to pull away in a hurry, but the Emperor only laughed good-naturedly and hugged me even tighter. “Well done.” “Heh, thank you.” I…

Episode 269 Judging by the small petals caught in his hair, he must have just come back from training outside. I saw them and chuckled inwardly. It was too endearing, that incongruous clumsiness behind his indifferent expression. “Have you eaten?” Khalid turned around with a sunny smile and asked. Regrettably, that fluttering charm of his seemed to fall away, though—for the record—he was still adorable. “Yes. What about you?” “I have, too.” “How does it feel to be…

270“Oh my, oh my… Goodness, whoa! Coming in so suddenly like this—oho! This is just too entertaining. So?” Allen, his expression shifting in a flash, threw his arm around Khalid’s shoulders and pressed him roughly. “What does leaving for the front have to do with a confession?” “Ha. Get lost, you smell like a Mister.” “I’m not a Mister!” Allen exploded, and Khalid regarded him impassively. Just then, Khalid’s eyes fell on the mercenary corps insignia protruding…

Episode 271 ‘What is this?’ Looking back, I saw only a group of men sitting by the window, chattering noisily. It seemed like there were also some people dining alone in the vicinity. But on this spring day, someone out there with a robe pulled over their head, face buried in a newspaper… Something about that struck me as vaguely sinister, so I hurriedly averted my eyes. Didn’t want to accidentally meet their gaze. Sevelena squeezed and stretched my cheek. “Well, Lady. How…

272 “Oh, how frustrating. I could spoon-feed it to him, even chew it for him, and he still wouldn’t get it!” Sevelena, somehow irritated at the end, stormed off. So the gathering awkwardly dispersed. I was almost glad—I’d been so mired in self-doubt, wondering what on earth I was doing here, that I could hardly focus on anything around me. “Oh, these are fresh.” On my way home alone, I wandered past the shops, browsing here and there. Maybe because it was spring, the…

Episode 273 “So then… who do you think I’d like?” Khalid spoke, furrowing his brow. I blinked at him, dazed. “Th-then why haven’t you said anything until now?” We’d had countless opportunities to confess our feelings. I’d been waiting for those chances like a hyena! If he liked me, too, shouldn’t he have pounced on those opportunities like I did? Instead of running away! “I thought… if I were to confess to you, I’d need the proper status… a…
