Episode 167 As with any beast wounded and driven to the edge of a precipice, the creature facing Caesar bristled with an extraordinary wariness. Yet, the reason it did not flee into the forest just behind may well have been instinct: somewhere, it sensed that the moment it set foot in the woods as a beast, it would never return. But Caesar, too, had no intention of letting the beast retreat to the woods. This was an affair that had to be ended by his own hand. Gazing at an old…

138. When Loony returned, she was utterly exhausted. She flopped down flat on the palace sofa with little regard for decorum, groaning in discomfort. “Ugh…” Perhaps her stomach had grown weak again, for she dry-heaved repeatedly. “What on earth did you do in there?” At last, Seraphie couldn’t hold back and asked. “Ugh, I hate the Emperor…” “That wasn’t me talking!” Seraphie hastily protested as the attendant, about to escort Orkis, paused with a dubious…

256 "Will you not call me father anymore? It was you who chose me as your father." "……." Mephisto hung his head, unable to meet his eyes, and fell silent. It was true. The one who had tried to bind him with the ties of family, calling him father, was none other than himself. And it was himself who cut that tie. Even now, he felt as if he might be crushed under the weight of his guilt. But even so, there were words he knew he had to say. Mephisto forced himself to…

Episode 180 Quick-witted Terry swiftly brewed a fresh pot of tea and quietly left the room. After seeing Lady Cherry out as well, I found myself alone, face-to-face with the crown prince. A brief silence fell between us, as though we were trying to gauge each other’s intentions. Our last meeting hadn’t been particularly pleasant, so I found it difficult to speak first. It was Mikhail who broke the silence. “Today, I’m not here as the crown prince, but as your friend. So let’s…

More than seventy thousand! Si Zhiyan was extremely satisfied with this number. On average, each merchant had over two thousand in sales, far exceeding his initial expectations. On reflection, it was perfectly reasonable. The night before, Si Zhiyan had been blazing the trail—his first time running a shop as a player for the anomalies; he’d spent most of the night observing, negotiating, and getting settled, opening his stall only at dawn, and selling hot dogs, which took some time to…

Episode 178“They say that a child born under the Star of Heroes, chosen by its light, bears a mark upon their body. I had my doubts—but Leon Blanche has that very mark recorded in the prophecy, right on the back of his neck.” A curse rose to the tip of my tongue, but I managed to choke it back. There was no use in denying it. Mikhail had clearly finished his investigation and was merely informing me of the truth. In this moment, the man before me was not my childhood friend Mikhail, but…

Episode 184 The area in front of the academy was a sea of carriages, all there to collect students pouring out after morning classes. It was mayhem on the street, with carriages sent by every sort of family crowding the avenue, but as always, Leo had no trouble at all finding the Blanche carriage. After all, only Blanche used so large and dazzling a four-wheeled carriage, drawn by four jet-black horses, just to transport their child to and from school—it was bound to stand out. “Isn’t…

Episode 203 When Leo saw my smile, he must have realized his mistake, for he shook his head even more vigorously and denied it with force. “N-no, really, there isn’t anyone.” Unfortunately, Leo was a terrible liar. I leaned in close and whispered to him softly. “I'll say there isn’t, but tell me, just between us.” “There really isn’t…” Despite his stubborn insistence, he eventually began to pluck at the innocent grass with both hands, lost in uncertainty. After a…

Episode 205 With that single remark, the mood of the meeting took a sharp turn. “Certainly, if it’s the Five Nations Council…” Cheshire’s eyes narrowed, as if weighing possibilities. The Five Nations Council was an international peace organization founded by the five countries that had won the Sealing War some seven centuries ago. There was the Holy Empire, built on faith in the divine; The Magic Republic, a haven for scholars in pursuit of truth; The Kingdom of Heroes,…

153. "As you've seen, his works are truly bizarre. Yet their themes are unmistakably clear: they satirize the vices of our times." "Satire…" Seraphie recalled the painting from earlier. The image of human figures with beastly heads, clad in a priest’s vestments and suffering gruesome torments beneath a demon’s feet, was still vivid in her mind. "As you might expect, these are not the kind of pictures one can brazenly exhibit in public. Open activity must be difficult for him." "Then…

178. Rising from her seat, Seraphie fetched an old notebook. Inside were the names of the four noble families whose daughters had maligned her that day. Seraphie had refused their investment in the Divine Treasure mining project, and had also instructed the Kia Company to avoid any collaboration with their families. “Countess Tifeon.” As she opened the notebook, she saw a name written with barely suppressed anger. “Viscountess Gramene, Countess Baglosa, Baroness Rodo.” “Wait,…

161. While laughter and conversation filled the air, they quietly slipped away to the balcony, avoiding the festivities. Only a thin curtain separated the magnificent ballroom from the outdoor balcony, which was bitterly cold. To make matters worse, it was still dim, as the lights hadn’t been turned on yet. Relying on the sliver of light leaking through the curtain, you could see that some people had already gathered on the balcony. They were supporters of the Crown Prince. They warily…

To Hera. Hera, I was truly in the wrong. I promise, I’ll never nag you to study more again. You’re doing well enough already and I won’t undermine your confidence with needless complaints. I won’t force unreasonable schedules on you out of my selfish desire to pass on the throne quickly. So, please, could you find it in your heart to forgive me? And perhaps also speak kindly to Belladi on my behalf? Being forbidden from seeing Belladi is too harsh a punishment for me. I’m spending…

184. —Hoo, hoo! Aining really worked hard for Bellady! Bellady, are you happy? Did Aining do well?! —Of course, it’s perfect, Aining. —Kyaa! Bellady’s praise! I’m so happy! Picturing the sweet smile of the little desert fox, I let my lips curl upward. ‘Honestly, I never expected to use Aining’s bead in this spot!’ And yet, everything fit together as if preordained—as though fate itself intended for me to punish that Prince and Caspar, so careless with the lives of…

Side Story 6. Still, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even have brought up something like matchmaking! Catching Mostyn’s look, Killian simply shrugged. 'Sorry, Mostyn. But you really made a sport of me of late.’ When it came to matters involving Hera, Killian’s reactions became vivid and expressive, making him an easy target for Mostyn’s amusements. And how delightful that had been, all this time. But Killian was not one to just let things slide forever. “Now then,…

154. ‘But is this really something to get that upset about?’ It was one thing to worry about Seraphie’s anger, but Orkis couldn’t help questioning whether these two living together was truly a matter that warranted such a reaction. ‘It’s not even our business.’ The fact that the man who had conned Seraphie and behaved so rudely was now being supported by her wasn’t pleasant, even for Orkis. But even so, if the two of them had ended up together, that was their own…

A gem entirely crimson; if you look closely, golden magma seems to swirl within. This is a Crimson Crystal.It contains fierce, explosive fire-attribute magic. Roughly carved and forged, it can increase the wearer’s strength by 3%.It appears to be a relatively small and scattered crystal—not worth much. “This is the thing that anomaly was wearing around its neck,” Shi He said. “It looks like the kind of stone the boss talked about… Only it’s the carved version, with a strength boost.”…

Sera, you still wear your hair short!” “Did you cut it yourself?” “It suits you so well!” The three friends, all of the same age, burst into cheerful chatter and laughter at once. “How disappointing.” Someone standing behind them smiled demurely. “So now you don’t even see your own mother, do you?” Only then did Seraphie look up, searching for the Countess Dowager. “…?” Upon finding her, Seraphie had to widen her eyes…

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…

For a mass of vapor, this question was an almost outrageously pointed challenge. For a moment, Si Zhiyan wasn’t sure how he ought to respond. —Comply? Show respect? Resist? He froze, watching the doll with utmost caution. The puppet’s askew body quivered, black hair swirling in the boiling water, her smile stretching wider and wider, threatening to split her whole head apart. Her mouth gaped wide, her whole body trembling, as if—should Si Zhiyan give a negative answer—she would…
