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,…

Episode 15So, you heard everything. Embarrassed, I pretended not to have heard. “Where is Father?” Void asked as he took his seat. “He said he has a lot of documents to review.” “Oh, I see.” A reply that sounded as if he hadn't expected otherwise. But by now, there was no way I couldn't know. Void asked about Mister every mealtime. Even though he knew Mister wouldn’t show up, he couldn’t help but hope. ‘Hmm…’ I gazed silently at Void, the spoon still…

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…

Episode 13 "Sir?" "No, it's nothing." He scratched the back of his head with a rough hand. "Surely not." He's just a child born and raised in a remote village. He simply hasn't had much exposure to imperial clocks. "So I’m the one still wandering the battlefield." A wry, self-deprecating smile flashed across his relaxed features. It was so brief, no one would have noticed. I was flustered. "W-what is it?" The burly maids had appeared holding blades all of a sudden. How…

Episode 12 “Wow, look—even Father’s here!” Void lifted the card with the golden border, cradling it as if it were priceless. The look on Mister’s face as he watched was truly something to see… “If you wanted it so much, why didn’t you just buy it yourself?” At my offhand question, Void turned his head away. “This is only sold in the capital for a limited period. You can’t get it in the North.” “You could’ve written to the Duke and asked him to get it for…

Episode 11 “Uh……” Eyes growing slightly wider at the sight of me. Smooth lips twitching ever so slightly. Then, a quiet murmur to the attendant at their side. “You know.” “Yes, young master?” “…It feels kind of weird because of that kid over there.” He covered his mouth with his hand, but I still heard everything. ‘It must bother him to have someone new around!’ If I want to fit in here, I’ll have to get along with him, too! I swallowed nervously,…

Episode 10 But the young lord simply grinned, his broad, round eyes—at least a head taller than mine—narrowing mischievously. “That’s enough for greetings, let’s head inside. The sun’s set, and the air’s getting a bit brisk.” Mister placed a casual hand upon both my head and Void’s. Then, suddenly, he knit his brows. “The height difference…” It’s too much. That seemed to be his muttered complaint, but I was too distracted, keenly observing Void. “And the old…

“What is this?” “What do you mean.” “…Hell?” “It’s my domain.” Leviathan Mister gave my forehead a light push. I stared blankly down at the vast expanse spread out before me. The bleak northern wind fluttered my short hair as dust balls rolled across the scene. “There’s nothing here but rocks.” “I told you.” A chill-filled swirl of dust tumbled along. Mister’s domain, filled with gray stone walls, looked—frankly—like the ruins of a fallen…

Episode 8 “Don’t touch that.” “Huh?” “I know it looks pretty… but it’s poisonous.” Leviathan Mister scowled and pulled me far away. “Sibelita Herb.” “Ah, but this is…” I almost corrected him, then let it go. Abelita and Sibelita. Two herbs with not only similar names, but also seemingly similar appearances—at least at a glance. Upon closer inspection, everything was different… ‘But I suppose to the untrained eye, it looks the same.’ The…

Episode 7 Wait, hold on. What exactly is going on here? “Enough already.” Clutching my aching stomach, I opened my eyes wide where I was slumped at the edge of the road. Had Mister finally gotten fed up with me? —No, that wasn’t it. The one who cut me off with a frosty chill in his voice was… The blue-haired knight standing beside me: Sir Leon, Mister’s adjutant. “His Grace hasn’t slept a single night in days.” His stern gaze landed on me. We were on…

Episode 6 “Yes.” It was an answer without the slightest hesitation. “…” Peeking out from under the rustling blanket, I saw Mister look at me and let out a long sigh. “There’s something wrong with your eyes and the back of your head.” “I don’t know what you mean.” “Neither do I.” His voice drooped in resignation. As heat simmered in my body, I couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. The simple fact that he’d come looking for me somehow made me happy. I…

Episode 5 I was scared. Really scared. ‘They can’t measure my mana!’ After dinner, Yuris-sensei suddenly appeared and said that all the new children had to undergo a mana test. ‘I can’t let them find out I’m a mage in a place like this.’ For now, I locked myself in the bathroom, using a stomachache as an excuse. Sitting on the toilet lid, I recalled what Yuris-sensei had muttered to herself. “They say they’re looking for a girl mage… Do we really have to go…

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 3 “It’s because of the victory festival. Endure it.” “Ugh… It’s overwhelming!” To be honest, I’ve always hated loud noises, even in my past life. Besides, here in the Mage Kingdom of Arcadia where I was born and raised, the entire population is less than 3,000 people—in other words, the place is practically a monastery… So the noise of the Imperial capital is simply too much stimulation for me! It’s left me more exhausted than when I faced the Dark…

Episode 2 “No, I don’t need it.” And with that, I was cleanly rejected. So cleanly, in fact, that I was left speechless. “Tch…” “Tch?” Leviathan tapped my lips lightly. “I thought you were the silent type, but turns out you’re a sharp-tongued child. You had me fooled for a moment.” Deep violet eyes stared straight at me. I stuck out my lower lip in displeasure, and whatever that gesture meant to him, he visibly relaxed his gaze. “Suddenly the kid starts…

Ch. 1 “Hey.” At the sharp call, the child lifted their head. Covered in dirt and dust, the child was rummaging through a corpse’s pockets. “Are you hungry?” Leviathan asked. Instead of replying, the child’s blue eyes rolled searchingly. Though it looked like they wanted to say they were hungry, their expression was guarded. ‘A wise choice.’ No matter how hungry you are, you shouldn’t run up to strangers—absolutely not. Then again, rifling through the pockets…

Episode 1Prologue Year N, Month N, Day N / Weather: Clear / Mood: Suspicious There’s something strange about the youngest in our family. For one, she’s definitely hiding her true nature. I saw it—her slyly dropping the grilled peppers that were served at dinner. But is that all? Not content with just that, she went so far as to crush them underfoot, flattening them completely, then covered the mess with a napkin to stage a perfect crime. (Thinking about it still gives me…
