173Chapter 19 On a pleasantly tranquil evening. “Oh, right.” Rosetta set down her spoon. Then she said, “I’m pregnant.” In that moment, Leviathan had to wonder if he had heard her correctly. Even though he’d been watching his wife all through dinner. He blinked slowly. “…What did you say?” No, but— Usually, when someone starts with “Oh, right,” they follow it with something much less important. For example, “Oh, right. I bought some clothes today.”…

Come to think of it, the magic stone shop was right next to the forge. The old man, just coming out from there, spotted me and hurried over. “So, you were out and about only to end up here? Hm?” “Your beard… your beard…” Rub, rub. After scooping me up and rubbing his face against mine to his heart’s content, Grandpa finally set me down. “Ha, seriously. A real spectacle, you are.” “Ah, the blacksmith, Mister.” “Good day. Care to pick out some pretty scraps of…

Episode 39 I once mentioned it to Khalid in passing. If I wanted to break free completely from the Mage King's oppression, after being exploited by the kingdom, the surest way would be to get rid of the king. Ever since then, Khalid had vowed through gritted teeth to kill the Mage King himself. As if he were saying he’d grant me freedom, just as I’d broken his chains and set him free in that cave. “No. You’re… still too young.” “Hah. Is that why you came here?” A short,…

Episode 100 “Little fairy.” It was Liam. “Ah, brother…” “You look pale as spoiled cream. Come here.” I dangled from Liam. He had taken a pendant but simply slipped it into my pocket. Clinging to his back, I squeezed my eyes shut. When my body trembled slightly, Liam let out a short sigh and patted my legs gently. “Fairy, what’s that on your wrist?” Looking down at the arm I’d wrapped around his neck, Liam asked. When I moved one arm, it jingled…

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…

26 After returning from my outing, I dove straight onto the bed. “Whew… That was some good shopping.” “My, you bought an awful lot, didn’t you?” Hazel’s eyes grew round as she looked at the boxes being brought in one after another. “Yeah. Come, take a look!” “These look like magic stones… and these?” “Oh, those are herbs!” I rushed over and eagerly explained the herbs I’d bought to Hazel. After the ore shop, my next stop had been the herb shop.…

Episode 95The mage clicked his tongue lightly. The Zevert heiress. He’d thought her round eyes and smooth brow resembled that ‘seventh’ somehow. ‘No… Honestly, all kids have round faces and smooth skin.’ The truth was, he’d only seen the ‘seventh’ once, and even that was hazy in his memory. Nonetheless, he volunteered for the tracking mage position. In order to be noticed by the Mage King. And that decision was not mistaken. “I can’t betray expectations…

94"Hello?" "Huh? Is there another checkpoint here? I thought the last one was just back—there…" My voice trailed off awkwardly. The person before me was a brown-haired man. He wore no name tag, and his clothes were ordinary… But no, that's not it. He's not a judge. I faltered and stopped moving. 'Ma… mage.' A chill ran down my spine. "I got lost while out for a walk… Could you perhaps tell me where the exit is?" The man, smiling warmly, spoke utter nonsense. A subtle…

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…

138Beneath my knee, the lightweight fabric of my indoor dress fluttered. Is he growing not just taller, but more perceptive too? “I just fell on the field today—scraped it a bit, that’s all…” “Can I have a look?” Khalid stepped in, suddenly asking. His eyebrows were raised high—clearly, he wouldn’t back down so easily. With no other choice, I crouched on the floor and started to lift my skirt. Just then, a gentle hand caught my arm and stopped me. “Please,…

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…

The next day. Grace: Today’s your first shoot, right? < Yeah. I’m on the way now. In the backseat of the car heading to the first shoot of New Eclipse, Seo-jun leaned against the seat, texting with his friends. Grace and original author Laura Welton had returned to New York a few days after Seo-jun’s birthday. They had checked the set, locations, and cast, so there was no more need for them to stay. “Anything more would just get in the way.” That’s what Laura had said…-

“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…

Chapter 148Ch.15 The day of the presentation! I woke up, thrilled. ‘Finally, I get to see Dad!’ Sortie and I were bursting with excitement as we ate breakfast, stopped by the library to greet Professor Yuliophe, and then headed to the grand banquet hall. The presentation was to be held here, in the form of a party. “There are so many people outside!” “I know! My mom and dad said they’d come as soon as the Academy opened its doors… Ah! Daddy! Mom!” Sortie darted…

150“Grandpaaa…?” I started to run over, tumbling, but stopped dead. “It’s black!” “Wahahahaha! I matched it with my little snot!” Grandfather, who always let his mane fall like a lion’s, now had his hair neatly trimmed and his beard groomed! But… both his hair and beard were pitch black! “Come here, come here!” He reached out to me once more. He looked as if he’d grown ten years younger—funny, yet striking. His presence, already imposing, now felt even…

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…

“Cut! Okay!” The very first take of the very first shoot wrapped in one go. “We’ll move on to the bust shot!” While the bust and close-up shots still remained, the momentum was high. The New Age production staff, observing from a distance, silently applauded at the scene that looked like it had come straight out of the novel Eclipse. ‘The writer should’ve seen this!’ Seo-jun Lee’s suspicious and unsettling aura was flawless, and Hailey Lodge’s startled reaction and…

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…
