Episode 86 “……” “Khalid? What’s wrong? What’s the problem?” Rubian tilted her head quizzically. “Hey, are you okay?” The girl rushed over and waved her palm in front of the boy’s eyes. Khalid stood frozen for so long, he seemed on the verge of crumbling to dust. Only when Rubian shook his shoulders did his steel-blue eyes stir at last, flickering to find her face. “Oh.” Seeing her own reflection in Khalid’s eyes, Rubian finally realized why he was so…

87“All right, everyone, sit!” “Yes, ma’am.” With a flourish, the Zevert family moved in unison to the girl’s small, rounded gesture—like soldiers falling into line. Order restored. A sigh, laden with torment, slipped from the young lady as she shook her head. As Rubian straightened again to sit properly, a sudden thought flickered through her mind. With care, she glanced over her shoulder. “……!” Her eyes met those of the Marchioness Eibreich, who’d been watching…

88“Ruby, let’s get this to go. The atmosphere in this place isn’t exactly appetizing.” Dad rose with a cold smile. I quickly grabbed the hem of the disrespectful Duke’s coat. “Dad, food always tastes better if you eat it here…” Who on earth taught this Duke any manners? Ah. It must have been Grandpa. “Hahaha. Can’t even joke around with you.” The Emperor laughed heartily. “To think I’d see this kind of Duke. All right, all right, take your time.” Licht…

Episode 89 Bang! Bang! From early morning, the sound of celebratory fireworks boomed through the air. No wonder—the highlight of the Verdant Festival, the children's competition day, had dawned! "Finallyyy!" I opened my eyes wide and hurried to get ready. Instead of the cumbersome dress I'd worn on the day of the prayer, I chose comfortable clothes fit for activity, put on my mask, and together we all headed for the competition hall. The enormous arena was swarming with…

Episode 90 “As expected. The Zevert young lady is joining the competition…” “Did you hear? That declaration, full of nonchalance, as if nothing in the world could ever be difficult for her.” “Truly, the young lady of the north…” Somehow, it felt like things were going awry. I buried my face in my palms. But since I truly intended to get my hands on that herb, I did not deny any of it. ‘I want the Memorial Herb.’ After all, used alone, it’s merely a simple…

Episode 91 “When did you even have time to prepare for that?” I blurted out the question in Khalid’s stead, startled. Father, as if he’d anticipated it, replied nonchalantly. “With money and coerc—no, with money and negotiation skills, anything is possible.” “Ah… I see…” Truly, you are remarkable. I was about to ask if it wasn’t all a bit much, when suddenly the knights, having just arrived, shouted from behind. “Go, Khal! If you don’t place in the top…

Episode 92 The next day was the swordsmanship tournament. On my way to the arena, I paused. Void, who should have been waiting in the preparation room, was racing towards me from afar. "Ruuuuby! I won!" Void was jumping up and down with a wooden sword in hand. My head tilted in confusion. "But it hasn't even started yet? How did you win?" "Everyone forfeited?" "What? Why?" "Dunno. They all got a stomachache or something." Void shrugged, proudly showing off the badge pinned to…

93 As soon as I entered the maze garden’s entrance, the fresh scent of greenery filled the air. “Wow, it’s huge. And so wide.” The walls, made suitably low for children, didn’t feel intimidating. I strolled leisurely at first, then gradually picked up my pace. Since I was here, I might as well escape quickly and impress my family! Just then, the bushes beside the path rustled, and a familiar squirrel popped out. “Oh! Squirrel! Did you come to help me?” The sight of…

94"Hello?" "Huh? Is there another checkpoint here? I thought the last one was just back—there…" My voice trailed off awkwardly. The person before me was a brown-haired man. He wore no name tag, and his clothes were ordinary… But no, that's not it. He's not a judge. I faltered and stopped moving. 'Ma… mage.' A chill ran down my spine. "I got lost while out for a walk… Could you perhaps tell me where the exit is?" The man, smiling warmly, spoke utter nonsense. A subtle…
