Episode 20 A faint panic crept in. If my identity were discovered, it would all be over. ‘Khalid, I’m scared. I don’t want to be dragged off to the kingdom…’ Khalid was silent for a moment. ‘How did you know that?’ ‘I’m already doing that…’ That’s the problem—it’s not easy. As I hesitated, Khalid gave a long sigh. ‘Don’t be mad. I’m already feeling down…’ At that, Khalid let out a snort. I know very well. The Mage…

Episode 21 "Void!" I barged straight into Void's room. “Wah! You scared me!” Void was sitting at his desk, scribbling something. “H-huh?” Void hastily covered his notebook. A diary… or perhaps— “Do you have a map in here?” “A map?” “Yeah!” “Of course I do, but…” Void rummaged through his shelves and soon produced a map of the territory. It was covered with markings for shops, amenities, lodgings, and more. “Wow, thanks!” “But why do…

With a calm expression, he lifted Rubian onto his knee. She was still unnaturally light for an eight-year-old. “It’s nothing. Anyway, don’t pay too much attention to what my father says.” “But…” “See? You’re worrying about pointless things again and now the crown of your head is all warm.” “Oh. You’re right.” Rubian pressed a small hand atop her head, marveling at the sensation. Leviathan let out a quiet sigh. “So, if you weren’t upset, what were you doing…

Episode 23What did you say? “I think you’re getting your words mixed up.” “Ugh.” He seemed quite flustered. It was strange and fascinating to see an adult so obviously at a loss just because he thought I was angry. Looking up at that unexpectedly unimposing giant, I spoke again, carefully enunciating each word. “I’m not angry. I was surprised yesterday, but I wasn’t upset. I’m the one who should apologize for shouting so rudely.” I bowed deeply, all the way from the…

24 I headed to the smithy with the lord. The lord’s hobby was weapon development. His sole pleasure was in drawing up designs himself, commissioning their creation, and then delighting in testing the finished products. ‘Well, considering how many of his designs are now in actual use, maybe it’s not entirely a hobby.’ One of the main enterprises of Zevert was the weapons business. Arms crafted from the high-quality ore mined around the territory were renowned across the…

Episode 25 “Mister?” At some point, Mister was standing behind me. His eyes blazed fiercely. “That damned Leviathan bastard…” All of a sudden? “Rubian, hasn't His Excellency ever given you any allowance?” Even Sir Leon knelt on one knee, pressing for answers. What on earth are they talking about? Unaware that my thoughts had slipped out as a sigh, I stared in bewilderment at the two men, who seemed to have lost their minds. “What is it you want!…

26 After returning from my outing, I dove straight onto the bed. “Whew… That was some good shopping.” “My, you bought an awful lot, didn’t you?” Hazel’s eyes grew round as she looked at the boxes being brought in one after another. “Yeah. Come, take a look!” “These look like magic stones… and these?” “Oh, those are herbs!” I rushed over and eagerly explained the herbs I’d bought to Hazel. After the ore shop, my next stop had been the herb shop.…

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,…

28화Ch.4 ‘Humming…?’ Morris Lilton, former vice-captain of the Zevert Knights and now the butler of the Northern Annex, frowned at several days of the old lord’s odd behavior. “Heh heh hmm.” Because Balok Zevert—the very same who could make even crows drop from the sky by sheer force of spirit—was humming a tune since morning. Good heavens, he’s even wiggling his hips. ‘Strangely, his leg seems to have gotten better.’ Morris quietly set down the tea on the…

Episode 29Making a Barrier with Mister to Defend This Place! "I want to take swordsmanship lessons!" Mister’s eyes widened in surprise as though he hadn't expected to hear that. "What?" "I'm going to learn the sword! I’m going to get really, really strong! Isn’t that what it means to be a man of the north?" Mister scrunched up his face with a reluctant expression. "Well… yes, I suppose?" A good idea had come to me, so I was too preoccupied to notice his expression. 'If I…

Episode 30 Ahem, ahem! Senior Oberon, repeatedly clearing his throat for no reason, clapped his hands once with a stern expression. "All right! That’s it for today’s training!" He was a good lieutenant, always covering for his superior's shortcomings. I watched Oberon’s receding figure, then headed for the shade of a tree at the edge of the training grounds. "Mister. Why are you sleeping out here?" Snore, snore. The radiant, handsome man lay sleeping. "Wake up!" When I shook…

Episode 31 Khalid and I met on the battlefield. “Why are you tied up in there?” “…I don't know.” He was trapped alone in a cave somewhere deep within a harsh, rugged mountain range. Back then, I didn't even know this was the world of a novel. So, I shouldn't have carelessly spoken to what could well have been a high-level magical beast—or reached out my hand. “Do you want to get out?” “…” “You're not sure?” For some reason, I couldn't just leave…

Clouds drifted away, and the moon emerged. In the moonlight, his bluish-gray eyes shimmered with a mysterious light. “Khalid…” When I called his name, he smiled crookedly. “Yeah.” “You…” As if spellbound, I started to walk toward him again. “I didn’t expect you to welcome me like this.” Khalid rose to his feet as if he’d done this a thousand times and spread his arms wide. “I—” My slow steps turned to a run without me realizing it. And…

Episode 33 “Heh.” “Don’t laugh. I’m really pissed off right now.” Yet her eyes seemed even redder than usual for someone who claimed to be angry…… “Haa.” Khalid rubbed his face in the weary manner of an adult. His perfectly sculpted features looked utterly exhausted. “……So you’re saying there’s a reason you have to stay in Zevert territory, no matter what.” “Mm……” Khal pressed his lips together for a moment, then let out a resigned…

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…

Episode 35 “I understand. You mentioned he’s the son of a healer, correct? Since I have some acquaintances remaining there, I’ll try sending a letter.” Borbel packed his medical bag. As he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back as if something had just come to mind. “Come to think of it, Lord Rubian is said to have made medicine using herbs, yes?” “That’s right. Apparently, he learned by watching over the shoulder.” It was a miraculous remedy that not only won over the…

Come to think of it, the magic stone shop was right next to the forge. The old man, just coming out from there, spotted me and hurried over. “So, you were out and about only to end up here? Hm?” “Your beard… your beard…” Rub, rub. After scooping me up and rubbing his face against mine to his heart’s content, Grandpa finally set me down. “Ha, seriously. A real spectacle, you are.” “Ah, the blacksmith, Mister.” “Good day. Care to pick out some pretty scraps of…

Episode 37 ‘How did this happen…?’ I stared blankly at the training ground, where a dry wind was blowing. ‘How did it come to this…?’ Standing there alone was my mage friend, who also happened to be the second male lead and a little mercenary. “Let’s begin the admission test.” Uncle Oberon, who had returned at some point, spoke in a solemn voice. Standing next to Khalid were two young men, their faces drawn tight with nerves. “Three applicants for…

Clang. The knife spun sharply on the ground. “That was…” –Close! Jeez, what was that?! I calmed my pounding heart. Everyone except Mister Leviathan and the knight was staring in shock, eyes wide like startled rabbits. “It’s all right, little one, it’s all right.” Ah, except for Grandfather too, who was patting me soothingly. “Wh—what—!” Delmon, who had suddenly been grabbed by the scruff of the neck, gaped in terror. “Oh, sorry.” Only then did…

Episode 39 I once mentioned it to Khalid in passing. If I wanted to break free completely from the Mage King's oppression, after being exploited by the kingdom, the surest way would be to get rid of the king. Ever since then, Khalid had vowed through gritted teeth to kill the Mage King himself. As if he were saying he’d grant me freedom, just as I’d broken his chains and set him free in that cave. “No. You’re… still too young.” “Hah. Is that why you came here?” A short,…
