Episode 65 "Ow, my back. The undergrowth is so thick, this shortcut won't be usable anymore." The sudden presence was announced with an unexpected tumble; it was a woman dressed in blue Eastern-style robes. "Hehe. I bet you never imagined I'd beat you home by taking the hot spring route, did you?" I froze like a statue. Of course, I was shocked that there was an unknown shortcut here—but more than that— 'That voice…' The gentle tone was achingly familiar to my ears. Brushing off…

Episode 121 Magic cast with malice leaves a trace that lingers for a long time. Just as Allen had said, the reason this place felt especially eerie was that malice clung to the space itself like a stain. ‘Magic so thickly saturated with malice…’ Khalid exhaled in short, sharp breaths. ‘It’s not mine.’ Only then did the strength drain from his body. He sank back, slumping to the ground. “That’s a relief…” “What’s this? What’s wrong with you?” He…

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…

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…

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…

130Licht pretended not to hear and stepped closer to look down at Khalid. He seemed to have grown into an even more infuriatingly smug face over the summer. “Hello?” “Does this look like a time for pleasantries to you?” “Well, close enough. More importantly… Rubian is at the Academy, right?” “I don't see any reason I should answer—” “There is.” The elegantly curved eyes of the prince were thoroughly annoying. Khalid gave a short, derisive laugh and turned his…

Episode 127 Apparently, my foot had barely grazed the tip of his shoe. “Ah, sorry.” “Ah, sorry? Soooorry?” Havelus seized upon my words and began to draw them out. “You think just apologizing is enough after stepping on a noble’s shoe? Do you have any idea how much these shoes cost?!” “…Um? Well, I apologized, didn’t I? What else am I supposed to say?” I asked in genuine curiosity. And really, it wasn’t even as if I’d properly stepped on his foot—why was he…

Episode 161 "Otherwise, I was about to die, but there was nothing I could do." "Ah, yes." "If it hadn’t been for my father hurrying back from the capital, I probably would have cleared out two more habitats nearby…" "But what does that have to do with this?" At that, Leviathan burst out laughing. "I’m telling you I had a very miserable childhood, you punk." "…?" Their eyes met. "No adult wants to pass on misery to a child." Those words made him pause and think. Had…

168"Come on, you know! Mages sent as outpost mages are just dregs—so worthless the Kingdom doesn’t even bother treating them like bugs!" Well, she wasn’t wrong. And apparently, there were quite a few outpost mages across the continent who thought as Asha did. Some of them did go back, but the majority remained here. "The Mage King isn’t going to waste magical power trying to control kids like us. He’d sooner just wipe us out all at once…" "Jeez, why are you so scary…" "It's…

Chapter 147 The first thing to catch the eye was her jet-black hair. “Ugh, the one who looked exactly like me has gone and turned just like Leviathan…” How indignant I was the first time I saw it! “What is this! Get out of my way! I’m going to dye my hair too! I took a certain pride in having the same color as my youngest one!” “Waaah, Grandpa, you have white hair! I have silver!” “What’s the difference?” “It’s different! It’s definitely…

Episode 98 “There’s a seat prepared for you over there.” I peeked toward the maid’s outstretched hand. At the round table, my brothers and Khalid sat with unashamed faces. When had they escaped all the way over there? “You left me behind!” As I grasped my skirt, preparing to stomp over, a few girls grabbed my arm. “Ah, would you mind sitting with us…?” “Sorry. I promised to sit with my brothers…” “Oh, I see. That’s too bad… Oh!” At that moment, the…

Bang! I kicked open the door to Mister’s office. He looked up from a discussion with Butler Adolf, surprised. “Dad…!” I grinned from ear to ear. It’s coming! The word’s coming out! “‘Dad’ is a fresh one.” Leviathan strode over with arms outstretched, ready to lift me up. “Wait.” I raised both hands lightly to stop him. “I just grew about an inch, you know. So you don’t have to treat me like a little kid anymore—” “What are you talking…

With a crash, the books stacked in Liam’s arms slid to the floor. “You little rascal!” He darted over and scooped Rubian right up. “Ah! The books! The books!” “What’s going on here? And how did you get in? Aren’t we supposed to be pretending not to know each other?” “That’s right! We are! This is a secret rendezvous just between you and me…!” “I love secret meetings, just us two.” Liam hugged Rubian tightly. As he looked over his little sister for the…

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 169 Void was just as shocked. ‘She’s been hunted down all this time?’ Back when the Academy was half-destroyed by that incident,Rubian had been in grave danger. Realizing it only now, he shivered at the thought. Wasn’t he about to stand by helplessly and watch his precious little sister get hurt, completely unaware? Of course, Leviathan had told them not to worry. That the adults would deal with anything that threatened Rubian, so they should continue on as always. 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 137 Khalid sat cross-legged, intently observing a small, squat stone stele. I crouched down beside him. “But there’s a crack in it.” “Yeah, I see that.” The top part of the stone was split, and its surface was covered with countless shapes carved in relief. And within those shapes, lines of writing in an indecipherable language filled every inch. “This… no matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like a magic sigil?” The young mage squinted one eye as he…

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…

The maids stood before the east room as if offering a silent prayer. "…This feels strange." The maid who opened the door murmured. The east room. The most prized chamber in the entire manor. "Wait, I can feel tears coming again…" "Don’t, please… If you start, I will too." One maid pinched her nose and tilted back her head. Hazel blinked her eyes, damp and shining. It was a child's room. A space the duke and his wife had prepared themselves. "My goodness, they even…

110I finally understood why, in the latter part of the original story, Leviathan’s whereabouts after the war were so unclear. I used to think it was simply that I couldn’t remember what happened to him. That was partly true, but more than that— He truly couldn’t act at all. Much like Grandfather before him. Due to his injuries, he was forced into seclusion in Zelox, unable to show himself to the world. I clung tightly to my father’s clothes. Right now, he was Duke Zevert, actively…
