Episode 34 “Ruby, breakfast is rea—… What an expression.” Mister stood outside the door, leaning with one leg crossed, dressed comfortably. “…Good morning, Mister.” With a face haggard from fury, I got up and shuffled toward the door in my yellow slippers. “You didn’t lose any sleep, did you?” “Slept well, as always.” “…….” Screek, screek. I peeled the long strip of tape I’d affixed to the door. Mister let out a sigh of exasperation. “Is…

Chapter 330 Summoning the Master Under Yan Jiyun’s claws, the false Qifeng dissolved into a wisp of starlight before their eyes. Su Qiuming, startled by the lightning-fast attack, retreated several steps, but Yan Jiyun’s other paw still managed to slice open his arm. He’d forgotten this cat had more than one set of claws. Even then, Su Qiuming couldn’t help but taunt, “Can’t you be a little gentler, little kitten?” Yan Jiyun: “Where is it?” Su Qiuming: “You don’t really…

Episode 42Ch. 5 ‘She really overdid it.’ Khalid shook his head, a sound of disapproval slipping out on its own. “Huff, huff. Water… Water, please…” Seeing the pale face sprawled flat before him made his frown deepen. “Tsk, seriously. What are you trying to prove?” Lying on the ground atop what looked like Leon the knight’s cloak, Rubian was gasping for breath. When Khalid offered a water bottle he’d found nearby, she clutched it as though it were holy…

Episode 129 “Huh? Rubian?” Sortier grabbed hold of me. The ferryman, who had been rowing, also looked at me in puzzlement. “What’s wrong? Shall I turn the boat around?” “Ah, n-no. It’s just that my stomach…” I stammered, clutching my abdomen. A burning pain flared along my back, then quickly subsided. ‘Damn it… Why now, of all times?’ I bit my lip and squeezed my eyes shut. The pain vanished as quickly as it appeared, gone almost before I even registered…

Episode 48 “Rubian, miss?” “Hello, Doctor Borvel.” I managed a mechanical smile as I greeted him politely. Honestly, I was halfway out of my mind. Borvel gave a thoughtful hum and set me in a chair. “Are you feeling unwell?” “No, I’m extremely, absolutely, perfectly healthy.” I did three full laps of the mini training ground just today. It’s just that I’ve caught a peculiar illness: I can’t call His Grace by any name at all. Is it incurable? Is this the…

As I pouted in silence, Lord Zevert clicked his tongue. Suddenly, his sharp gaze swung to the butler standing behind me. “Morris! Didn’t you say the meal was over? You should have mentioned she was in the middle of her snack! Even a dog’s not disturbed while eating!” “I… I failed to consider Lady Rubian’s snack schedule, my lord.” Drip, drip. I could almost hear the sound of Butler Morris’s sweat hitting the floor. “What are you standing around for!” I creaked as I…

Episode 51 “People make a lot of mistakes, you know?” “Huh….” “And we spend our lives forgiving and being forgiven. Children like you deserve to be forgiven all the more.” The caretaker tapped her cocoa cup. “First spicy, then sweet. Isn’t that the truth of life?” “…” Is it really that simple? It was something I had never experienced in my past life. One misstep meant the end. I probably misstepped twice, and so I had to lose my family twice. The…

76From a distance came the faint sound of carriage wheels. A woman’s wide, startled eyes framed by the window. Himself, running toward that sight… What kind of memory was this…? At that instant, the shouts of people rang out. “There’s been a kidnapping! They’ve taken noble children!” “…!” Khalid’s head snapped up. The weakened force holding him together quickly gathered itself back with perfect balance. “Ruby!” The wavering steps turned into a dead sprint…

Episode 41 “That’s… That can’t be true.” “……” “Ruby, I swear, I wasn’t really mad at you. Okay? You know that, right?” Void hurried over on quick little steps and hovered around Rubian in circles. When he acted like a puppy in need of a walk, Rubian—who had been pouting—suddenly burst into laughter. “Alright, alright. I know you weren’t mad. Satisfied?” At times like this, she really does seem like an adult… In any case, seeing Rubian laugh, Void…

As the sun set and darkness fell, delicious aromas filled the entire manor. “Goodness, look at this. The place is completely transformed.” “Adolf, sir!” I ran toward Adolf as he entered the dining room. “Where’s Mister? Is he here yet?” “He’s on his way down. Still, I’m not sure if it’s really all right for us to be doing this together…” I quickly pulled out the document from my pocket and showed it off. “It’s fine. I got the duke’s signature,…

4 Madam Yuris, the supervisor of the Imperial Rieta Shelter, opened her eyes wide. “Your Grace?” It was because Leviathan Zevert had suddenly appeared in such a disheveled state. He had also been her peer during their academy days. “What on earth has happened?” It was the first time she’d ever seen Leviathan look so frantic. His once immaculate uniform was now terribly rumpled, and his black hair was soaked with rain. He must have run here at full tilt, for even that…

Episode 80 But I was promptly caught before I could even get out of the greenhouse. Naturally, by Grandpa’s hand. “You don’t smell. It’s not because you didn’t wash that he avoided you.” “It’s too late.” “It’s true. He says he always gets nervous when you come around…” “What?” “…He says you make him nervous. I think he came to try to comfort you, Mister.” With just those words, Khalid hurried away. After skipping his training for days, the…

Episode 72 Several days passed. From the moment I returned to the manor, I fell mildly ill. In the end, at the Duke’s strict command, the physician of Zelox was dragged in without warning. I learned how the kidnapping incident was resolved from fragments of adult conversation I overheard while half-asleep. Licht, Titi, and Olivia had all returned home safely, and the culprits were captured and sent to prison. Asha was nearly accused as another suspect in the kidnapping for approaching…

Episode 27 Was it Hazel who told her? “Footsteps. The sound of heels hitting the floor was different. It was like you were slightly dragging one leg…” “…” “And when you dodged the carriage in the village earlier, you staggered to the right.” Chup chup. The hands wrapping the cloth were astonishingly deft. “So I thought maybe your leg was hurting.” Hah. Morris gave an involuntary sigh. “If you keep enduring it, it’ll only get worse.” “…” “Gasp,…

Episode 79 “For now, leave the Eosia matter to them. If any new information comes in, notify me immediately.” “Yes, sir.” Borbel bowed respectfully and withdrew. Leviathan called for Adolf. “Bring me Rubian’s adoption papers.” “Here they are.” He completed the complicated documents with meticulous care. Rubian was his daughter. Whatever past she carried no longer mattered. His pen paused a moment at the section regarding the child’s nationality. “Adolf,…

Episode 63 “No, you really don’t have to eat it!” “If you want cake, you need to have your meal first. Let’s go.” “Huh?” While I stood there blankly, I realized Liam had already made it halfway down the corridor and was looking back at me. His gaze lingered, then came a short sigh. “So it’s true, what Void said. You really are a spoiled child.” “Wh-what?!” I flailed my limbs like a fish freshly caught, because Liam, having strode up without expression,…

75“……” “You were here this morning, too.” “Did she fall asleep?” Khalid’s reply was unrelated. “If you’re that curious, you might as well have gone in.” “…It’s fine.” The boy answered coolly, folding his arms. He looked, surprisingly, quite natural standing among the knights. “…I don’t deserve to.” “What?” “Nothing. I’ll keep watch here.” He spoke with resolve, turning his gaze away from Leviathan in a final way. That…

114“All right. Your attire’s a bit unkempt, but… oh, it’s fine. I’ve learned some flexibility at this post. We’ll work out the details as we go.” “Eek! No… Rubian! Help me!” Nothing could stop a youth thirsting for knowledge. In the end, Asha was borne away in a book cart lined with plush cushions. Thud. It wouldn’t be more than a few steps from here to the adjoining study, but Asha… made the journey in comfort. Khalid shook his head, as if in…

Episode 109 That lunatic. Even in that state, he didn't let out so much as a groan. In the end, the Emperor took a step back. If a mage had truly intended to infiltrate the duke's residence… that would have been a disaster. But there was no evidence. Because he was dead. ‘A mage dying on my land is the biggest headache of all.’ The Emperor let out a long sigh and pressed his forehead. As Leviathan began to walk away, he glanced at him. “Arcadia’s come upon a convenient…

60Without realizing it, my tone had grown a little sharp. Licht blinked in a daze. A flicker of embarrassment passed over his usually calm face, the mask slipping from his features. After a moment, the prince dropped his head, covering his mouth with a hand. “…What am I doing?” A short groan escaped him as he ran both hands through his hair in frustration. “Sorry.” He suddenly lifted his head. Now Licht’s face was mottled with discomfort and embarrassment. The constant,…
