189. “But, Your Highness, this road is used by many merchant groups…” “If you’re so concerned, why don’t you come up with a solution yourself?” The Crown Prince, cutting him off, tilted his head slightly and fixed his gaze on X. Meeting those eyes, X subconsciously straightened his posture. “I hadn’t realized just how diligent my younger brother has become.” “……” “This too is an opportunity, I suppose. I shall personally inform His Majesty the Emperor that…

190. Just as Pura had predicted. Once the Kia company had finished their business, they returned to the lodgings first. The remaining mages claimed they needed to conduct another experiment with their communication magic at dawn, so they began inspecting the land at the outskirts of the territory. Immediately, the cadet branch family members from Tifeon, who had been lurking nearby, hurriedly interjected. “You can’t go any farther than this.” When the mages tried heading toward the…

191. Regrettably, the situation was far from favorable for a heartfelt reunion. “What about the others?” At Pura’s question, the man hurried to share what he knew. “The other Glakes, aside from me, are split between here and the warehouse across the way. Check on the people over there as well. The office of the men running this place is right upstairs.” “Can you walk?” A mage, having removed his shackles, asked. The man stood shakily. Pura and the other Glakes quickly…

192. "Isn't the skin usually deathly pale?" Pura recalled the child she had seen in the Iris territory. That innocent child, murdered by the monstrous former Marquis of Iris. The child, whose blood had ceased to flow and who had fallen into the cold snow, was whiter and more rigid than hardened wax. ‘Come to think of it…’ Even now, the corpse being examined had an unusually pink hue for a body in decay. Moreover, just moments ago, the Empress had told the physician that they…

193. In just the past month, one noble family had already been wiped out, and now another stood on the brink of extinction. From the Imperial perspective, the continuing tremors within the aristocracy could not be overlooked. Thus, more time was needed before striking at the families involved. The Emperor was waiting for the perfect moment to utterly destroy the Crown Prince and seize his place. 'That moment is not mine to create.' That, at least, was not Seraphie's…

194. “My goodness, how much everything has changed.” The Matron of Validus looked around the Validus estate, so different from what she remembered, and was filled with wonder. The Validus estate she remembered was a nightmare. Her former husband's abuse and violence, shattered bottles, her daughter beaten in her place, the listless servants, and the wilted, lifeless garden. She once thought she’d only leave this place in death. “……” Her hand, touching the bright columns…

195. “Where on earth did you learn language like that?” Startled, Seraphie leapt where she sat. Impossible—she, with such a sincere and well-mannered face, reciting the kind of vulgar curse words one would expect only from ruffians in the back alleys. “I picked it up at the resort.” Batisa answered with a bright, innocent expression. “Actually, after I found out what happened to that scoundrel Baglosa, I was so furious I blurted out the same curse words right in front of my…

196. Seraphie’s first ball was held at the close of a humid summer. Though the festivities began in the rather early hours of the afternoon, the sky was already dusky. The invited guests entered the Validus manor, feeling for themselves the shortening days and the subtly cooler air. “Welcome.” “Allow me to show you in. This way, please…” “We hope you’ll remember to take home the gifts the Count has prepared for you when you leave.” Because it was a charity ball,…

197. “Oh, how adorable.” “Aren’t these the porcelain figurines that were all the rage last year?” About midway along the garden path, there was a particularly well-lit area. There, a gazebo stood where guests could rest awhile; the magical lights they’d seen earlier twined around its pillars and flat roof like vines. All around, porcelain animal figurines were clustered together, playing out charming little scenes. Behind the squirrel figurine stood a tiny house. Covered in…

198. Since surmising that Count Loria might know the "original story," Seraphy had consciously blocked off all information about him and made an effort to feign ignorance. Fortunately, it was not a particularly difficult task. Seraphy’s days were busy enough; when focused on her daily life, Count Loria naturally faded into neglect. Yet it could not go on like this forever. ‘I have to check for myself.’ There was no denying that Count Loria was suspicious. The Emperor himself had…

199. “First, let’s move Sera.” Orchis lifted Seraphy in his arms and carried her to her bedroom. Meanwhile, Loony hurriedly called for the butler. Alarmed at the news that the master had collapsed, he quickly sent word for the doctor. It was not long before Doctor Kara arrived and swiftly examined Seraphy. “It appears she has suffered quite a shock psychologically.” Removing her stethoscope, Kara explained in a composed tone. “Make sure she rests well for the day and serve…

200. When a member of the nobility commits a crime, unlike commoners, they are typically placed under house arrest or confined to the underground prison within the imperial palace. Once their guilt is confirmed in a trial, punishment follows. Usually, this means an enormous fine or a period of self-reflection and seclusion within their own domain, lasting several years. However, for crimes that are considered seriously damaging to society, they are sent to prison alongside commoners. In such…
