Episode 84 Creak—the door slowly opened. Thud, thud, thud. The adults’ shoulders jumped with a start. They hadn’t done anything wrong, but for some reason, it felt as if they’d been caught gossiping behind someone’s back. “Hup, two. Hup, two.” Flustered, Balok suddenly began doing push-ups. “Aeina, Hazel? Where are my maid and handmaiden?” Rosetta calmly lifted the lid of the teapot, feigning a search for the attendants. “……” Leviathan alone managed to…

Episode 83 That evening. Liam Zevert sat at his desk in the study, his face grave. “This is troubling.” “What is, sir?” “Oh, you startled me.” Liam frowned in displeasure and turned to look beside him. It was the attendant who usually served him. “Did I say anyone could come into the study?” “Miss Rubian told me to come and do some cleaning.” “It is about time.” Seeing the young master rise so readily, the attendant chuckled inwardly. These days,…

Episode 82 “Half-wit. Luck’s all you’ve got.” The princes jeered. It was nothing new. Licht was the emperor’s illegitimate child, lucky enough to have been acknowledged with the status of prince. That fact was a top secret, but as with all secrets, it was an open one within the palace walls. “So why did you come all the way out here alone and end up abducted? Do you really enjoy catching our father’s attention that much?” Licht sat down with a calm, polite…

Episode 81 ‘And just look at those eyes.’ They were completely different from what he’d seen in the capital. He didn’t know what it was, but the child’s presence was clearly smoothing down whatever sharpness the duke had once possessed. Now he was genuinely curious. The emperor covered his mouth, stifling a laugh. “So, this Rubian…” “Next summer.” Leviathan set his teacup down with a snap. Summer? The emperor turned his head warily. He had a feeling he…

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 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 78 “Your face looks a bit flushed. Are you running a fever again?” Khalid suddenly asked, his expression tense. I shook my head vigorously to say no. He then poured rich, overflowing mana into me in an instant, a surge of power on a whole different level from anything he’d given me before. As I opened my eyes wide at the sudden influx of strength, his reply was nonchalant. “Repayment.” Khalid released my hand and stretched his arms wide. “All right. I think that’s…

Episode 77 “Blan…kets! Outerwear! Covers!” He dashed off somewhere at full speed, then returned, his arms full of things like his furry outerwear, blankets, and anything remotely like a throw, all bundled up. Yet, in the end, he was so flustered he couldn’t bring himself to actually drape anything over me, only standing there shivering, his hands trembling uncontrollably. “I-Isn’t the coat too heavy? What if my little sister just… vanishes?” What’s with him. “I’m not…

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…

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…

Episode 74 ‘But who was it?’ Their face was hidden by the hood pulled low. I couldn’t gauge their height or build either… “The price for standing against our king will be severe.” Only that clear line of dialogue remained in my memory. The tone wasn’t distinct, but one thing stuck with me— ‘The crest on their right forearm.’ The mark trailing beneath the sleeve surfaced vividly in my mind. The World Tree. A dragon encircling it as it soared upward. It was the…

Episode 73 I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was… a head of fluffy pink hair, as soft as cotton candy. “Hello there.” Rosetta smiled as she greeted me. I barely moved my eyelids, burying my nose in the bedding as I mumbled back. “Hello…” Wow, this is real. It felt as if I’d been wandering in dreams for a long time. Too bad that dream was a rotten nightmare. ‘Tch. It’s rare for me to see my past life in a dream.’ Maybe it was because my…

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 71Ch. 8 When Leviathan stepped out of the cave with Rubian in his arms, a crowd had already gathered. Of them all, the knights bearing the Zevert crest were by far the most agitated. “Your Grace, what about Rubian…?” Leon, so unlike his usual self, strode forward with a tense expression. He had stepped back, perhaps out of concern for Rubian, but his gaze as he checked on the child was sharper than anyone’s. “Shh.” Leviathan quietly shook his head. He then took a…

70 Jingle, jingle! “Correct!” The cheerful sound of the bell filled the cave, and Sortie grinned, exclaiming, “I got it right!” “But do Abelita herbs really have pointy leaves? I can never tell…” I puffed up my chest with pride. “There’s a trick to recognizing them. If you visit the ducal estate later, I’ll show you myself.” “Wow!” “Rubian, you really know so much.” Olivia admired me with pure wonder. The children sat in a circle by the…

Episode 69 ‘Kal!’ Though he tried to keep his voice steady, I could hear it trembling on the verge of breaking. I answered at once. ‘I’m at Ipsen Mountain!’ Fumbling, I touched my earlobe and closed my eyes. I could feel Licht’s gaze on me, but I had no choice. I just hoped it looked like I was only dizzy. ‘Honestly, I’m not sure exactly where. Licht and Lady Titi are hurt, but I caught the bad guys…’ ‘Huh?’ ‘I’m fine.’ A deep, long sigh…

Episode 68 “You little brat—! Come here, now—!” The moment the men instinctively sensed something amiss and lunged for me, a sigil, scrawled with complex equations, floated into the air. “Ma-ma-magician—!” “Oh, right. This isn’t me, it’s my friend over there doing it.” At my words, Asha, who’d been standing dumbfounded, hurriedly placed her hand on the ground. “That’s correct~” Well, at this point, the world’s spinning around so much I can’t even tell…

67 “There.” I muttered in annoyance. “Excuse me.” I pushed the face clinging to me aside. “Could you please let go?” “Euuung.” The mage whined like a child, shaking her head. From the moment we first met, she had not stopped petting my hair with her cheek pressed close to mine. “It’s been so long, I missed this feeling.” “…” Sighing deeply, I felt dizzy. Is this really the time for this? “Asya Drukan.” “Yes!” Asya answered…

66‘But Mister said… he caught the culprit!’ Did some remnants remain? ‘No!’ My body moved on instinct as I saw the black shadow reaching for the two girls. At the same time, a hand abruptly grabbed me from behind. “Rubian? It really is you. I kept calling, where are you rushing off to?” It was Licht. “Licht! Liv and Titi! Look—there!” “Huh?” Frantic, I pointed across the main street. Seeing the blood drain from my face, Licht seemed to understand and…

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…
