Episode 135 “Well, who knows? Honestly, this is a secret, but I might be changing jobs next year.” “Professor, they say no one who goes around saying they’re quitting ever really does quit…” “Hm hm, you sure know a lot, don’t you?” “I’m telling you not to leave, Professor!” Yuliophe just gave a brief laugh. “Well then, shall we look at the manuscript?” “Yes!” Grinning from ear to ear, I eagerly flipped through the manuscript pages. I asked about…

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 37 ‘How did this happen…?’ I stared blankly at the training ground, where a dry wind was blowing. ‘How did it come to this…?’ Standing there alone was my mage friend, who also happened to be the second male lead and a little mercenary. “Let’s begin the admission test.” Uncle Oberon, who had returned at some point, spoke in a solemn voice. Standing next to Khalid were two young men, their faces drawn tight with nerves. “Three applicants for…

Episode 47 A space surrounded by a tall fence, with great evergreens bending over as if in watchful guard—a place with a strangely somber atmosphere. “Ah. That’s…” Void wore a look of utter discomfort. “…It’s the garden of the Nameless Zevert.” “What…” I started to ask, then stopped short. The Nameless Zevert. Its meaning was plain. ‘That must be Mister Leviathan’s baby’s grave.’ I rose on tiptoe and peeked between the slats of the fence. A…

“Thank you for inviting me to dinner. See you tomorrow, Ruby.” With that, the boy—brash or polite, it was hard to say—disappeared without a hint of hesitation. Tremble, tremble, tremble. The table shook as if in an earthquake. “Phew… Stop sulking already.” Grandfather muttered, eyeing his tightly clenched, rock-like fist. “I’ll soon release this grudge.” “Grandfather… Please don’t talk to your fists…” “Hmph.” Before we knew it, Mister was leaning…

Clang. The knife spun sharply on the ground. “That was…” –Close! Jeez, what was that?! I calmed my pounding heart. Everyone except Mister Leviathan and the knight was staring in shock, eyes wide like startled rabbits. “It’s all right, little one, it’s all right.” Ah, except for Grandfather too, who was patting me soothingly. “Wh—what—!” Delmon, who had suddenly been grabbed by the scruff of the neck, gaped in terror. “Oh, sorry.” Only then did…

Episode 43 The duke sat askew on the large bed, gently patting and comforting the whimpering child in his arms. "…How." It was a brief question, but Leviathan seemed to understand it well enough. "Whenever she seems oddly listless in the evening, it always ends up like this." A heavy, deep sigh escaped him. In that brief moment, the duke looked as though he had aged several years, utterly fatigued. "Khalid." His voice was cracked with exhaustion. He pulled the quilt tighter around…

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 59Gasp, how embarrassing. “Ruby? It’s dangerous. Come down here.” As Dad reached out his hand, I nervously got up and stepped down the stairs. “It’s been a while.” Licht deliberately came down to the foot of the stairs to offer his hand. One hand was clasped behind his back, a very courteous escort. “Blondie, why are you here…?” I asked blankly, unable to even think of taking his hand. Licht, retracting his arm, smiled, narrowing one eye. “Yeah. My hair is…

Episode 21 "Void!" I barged straight into Void's room. “Wah! You scared me!” Void was sitting at his desk, scribbling something. “H-huh?” Void hastily covered his notebook. A diary… or perhaps— “Do you have a map in here?” “A map?” “Yeah!” “Of course I do, but…” Void rummaged through his shelves and soon produced a map of the territory. It was covered with markings for shops, amenities, lodgings, and more. “Wow, thanks!” “But why do…

Episode 25 “Mister?” At some point, Mister was standing behind me. His eyes blazed fiercely. “That damned Leviathan bastard…” All of a sudden? “Rubian, hasn't His Excellency ever given you any allowance?” Even Sir Leon knelt on one knee, pressing for answers. What on earth are they talking about? Unaware that my thoughts had slipped out as a sigh, I stared in bewilderment at the two men, who seemed to have lost their minds. “What is it you want!…

106Will this work? I wasn’t sure. First, how to use this… My mind spun in circles. Use this magic circle like so, and then… Dissolve everything, root to stem… Ah. So it can only be used once per person. After that, resistance builds up, and drinking it again just improves your health… I see. Digging up these new details, I picked up the herb. As I gently infused it with magic, the green leaves trembled with joy. “Sniff sniff. Smells like grass.” A blueish aura…

Episode 107 “How dare you break into a noble’s residence and approach my daughter.” “Gah!” A hand shot out with tremendous force, clamping down on his throat. The mage’s feet thrashed helplessly in the air. “This is so brazen, I could execute you on the spot and no one would protest… What do you think?” A low voice, grating like nails on a chalkboard. The oppressive, chilling aura made the 'Fourth’s' eyes shake uncontrollably. “Answer me, mage.” Leviathan…

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…

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 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 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…
