120Cal pressed his lips tightly together in silence. At that moment, Allen, who had been feeling along the shackle, narrowed one eye. “Huh? The inside here’s kind of rough. Cal, shine some light here, will you? Maybe there’s some precious gem embedded inside. Ha, so that’s why you wanted to come here, huh?” “Move.” Cal quickly snatched the shackle and directed the light inside. A shackle meant for wrists and ankles. While bound, there was no way anyone could have seen the…

55 I chose the room at the very end of the second floor. It was a bit smaller than my room at the manor, but so cozy that I liked it very much. Most important of all, the bed was the softest! “Hot springs.” Lying on that bed, I gazed up at the ceiling and imagined. “Hot springs!” That thing I saw on television in my previous life! Everyone’s expressions as they soaked in it were the same—utterly melted, pure bliss. It had left quite an impression on me. “I want to…

"Of course that’s good, isn’t it?" It was almost astonishing that he’d hesitated to say that at all. 'Didn't I say first that I wanted to be the youngest?' Had he really forgotten? Or did he truly think that living in the north would disappoint me so much I’d try to run away? 'I know well enough what kind of people Rosetta and Liam are in the original story.' Of course, I couldn’t be certain they’d welcome me… 'It’s fine. I can make a good impression.' I had no reason…

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…

Leviathan sat with his arms crossed, a grave furrow between his brows. Each night, like a promise, the voice of one he ached for returned to his mind. “Levi! Don’t you notice anything different about me?” It was one of the questions he most dreaded in all the world—right up there with his greatest fears. And no wonder: even when his girlfriend’s long hair had been cut short, he’d utterly failed to notice. “I just thought… it was tied up as usual.” That was the best excuse…

“Well, I had to meet the Emperor at some point to discuss your official registration anyway.” Muttering this, Father—not Mister, but Father now—patted my head twice. “So, Father, what will you do?” Amethyst eyes now fixed on Grandfather. He glared at the end of the letter with a surly look. ‘Surely the old general won’t go.’ Since his illness, he’d seemed to dislike appearing in front of people. “…? How could I not go when my little one is attending?” But…

112“Of course. Didn’t you say the kingdom always proclaims ‘We’ve caught them’ to the outside world when they halt a search?” He was right. That was how the kingdom boasted a so-called 100% arrest rate for fugitive mages. It reinforced their authority externally and exerted internal pressure. “More importantly, they failed to search the North.” “That’s true… but hm. I think the Mage King spread word of the search ending to make me and those around me let our guard…

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 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,…
