For a man and woman sitting face-to-face in a cozy café, their conversation was extremely dry. Of course, the looks they gave each other were as affectionate as those between lovers. It was a happy alliance: one a possessor of information, the other someone who could convert information into money. Cleio, too, took a sip of the liquor left in his glass. The sharp sting of anise seemed to clear his sinuses completely. The strong green liquor they’d found at a shabby bar-cum-café in the…

But neither of the two looked like a crazed murderer. ‘Of course, it’s not like a murderer walks around with “I’m the culprit” written on their forehead… The cranky old man in the front row is a high-level mage, and the other is a young knight standing in the stool seats. He’s here with his lover. Still, I’ll make a note of them.’ Cleio leaned his head toward Ishiel. The theater was noisy before the performance started, but he lowered his voice just in case. “Did you see anyone…

For an Imperfect Peace (5) Behemoth’s snoring was thunderous. “Grrr— drrrk—.” Having devoured all fourteen courses of the chef’s special at Esprit Restaurant, currently the capital’s most popular spot, made with Meridies ingredients, Behemoth sprawled out on Cleio’s bed. Starting with Leognes Blanc de Blanc, continuing through Grand Vintage Tolithum Glycine, Budigala wines, and finishing with brandy, Behemoth gladly completed the marathon of drink pairings. ‘That belly……

By some stroke of luck, Cleio Aser saved the capital. He had tied the entrance of his subspace pouch too tightly, so he still could not retrieve the luminous stones. The beast, having missed its target, landed on the ground, then turned its body and targeted Cleio again with a growl. Clutching the pouch he was opening, Cleio dripped cold sweat. ‘What do I do? Uwaaaahh.’ The moment the wolf lowered its body to pounce, his mind went blank. Only one magic formula came to his mind: and…

Kleio, Asser “My little brother, have you been well?” With a broad smile, Vlad spread his arms and pulled Kleio into a quick hug, then let him go carelessly. Kleio, staggering from the rough touch, barely managed to regain his balance by grabbing the centerpiece. Last time, since it was essentially their first meeting, it was hard to read his intentions, but seeing him a second time, it became clear. ‘He’s asserting dominance right from the start. As if we’ve met enough for…

For an Impermanent Peace (1) Far off, the boundary of the city crumbled into black and white, and the sun lost its midday clarity. It was a familiar rupture. Cleio knew the cause of this calamity. It was the threat to Arthur’s life. Her heart pounded as if it would shatter her ribs, and her mouth went dry and parched. The distance between the palace’s north gate and the parliament was only a few kilometers. That made it all the more maddening. What on earth was Arthur experiencing in…

“That really is an amazing thing!” “Is it something to be amazed at?” “Madame de Tempête de Neige was the noblest of nobles, wasn’t she? It’s astonishing that she knew beauty skills.” “Oh, Dione, so there are things you don’t know. My grandmother was originally a lady’s maid in the Tempête de Neige family. She got hired as a sewing maid but, with her outstanding hairdressing skills, she took over the lady’s dressing room, and not long after the lady’s early death, she…

Knight and Noble (1) While paired knights slashed at shadow spiders crawling up the castle walls, Mietz threw off his robe and stood in the middle of the training ground. The two serpents that had smashed the watchtower’s spire and crushed the turrets were returning for destruction. “Hup!” Rumble! When he drove a greatsword, too heavy for an ordinary person to even lift, into the center of the training ground, the whole fortress trembled. Oooooooo! At last, a storm of colorless,…

Introduction to History (2) The priest looked back a couple of times, seemingly worried about Archbishop Istoria’s condition, but did not defy her order. Once the quietly moving old priest closed the door, an unnatural silence remained. It was the long-awaited private meeting with the Archbishop. His body stiffened with tension. ‘Even her voice… it’s exactly like Minsan’s. This feels awful.’ Only when he caught the Archbishop’s gaze did Clio approach her. Her expression and…

But there was no omen. Only the same silence remained. Melchior let out a faint sigh, as if disappointed. “…I gave him a great chance to show his loyalty to you, but hmm, it seems he has not yet resolved to prove his sincerity with a .” Sensing the faint trace of contempt that surfaced on Cleio’s face, Melchior smiled calmly. “You’re blaming the wrong person, Sir Cleio. Arthur’s suffering originates from God. You are surely a messenger of God manifested solely for my brother’s…
