Side Story 1. The Sage Who Became Light and Gold (2) Hileida Seydr, who was of good birth and had a neat appearance, was considered a likely candidate for the next head maid. She had an excellent talent for guiding those she served so that, even without going against their wishes, they did not cross the line. Born to a noble family, Hileida was even fluent in Karolinger, making her an indispensable asset for Philip, whose household was full of troubles. Eight years had passed since the grand…

After hardship comes settlement (4) “But if it’s something that actually happened, nothing can escape his eyes. Melchior probably knows pretty much everything I’ve been up to.” Clayio nodded bitterly. Would the crown prince have shown up in Kishion County just to offer encouragement? “If Aslan had caught on, he would’ve hanged me first, but His Highness the Crown Prince pretends not to know. I don’t know what his intentions are.” As always when Melchior was mentioned, Arthur…

The Gate of Mnemosyne (2) Faced with such a tremendous task, the urge to escape reality naturally arose. It could never happen, but if ‘Jeongjin’ ever edited the manuscript of for a single-volume publication, he would definitely add this to Melchior’s character introduction. "Someone who can do anything for his goal. He will become king no matter what sins he commits. That is because it is his revenge against the fate given to him." ‘To be the author’s errand boy, resented by a…

The Last Pleasure of Winter Vacation “Oh! By the way, I heard from my little brother that you’re such a celebrity! I haven’t been to the capital in ages, so I just found out now, huh?” Click. Clio, who had just finished packing his suitcase, gave a suitable reply. “Little Trude must have exaggerated. Sir Trude, you know well how newspapers in the capital like to blow up even the smallest stories.” To be honest, Trude had never read even a single page of a newspaper in his life.…

The Northern Side of the Mountain Range (4) Arthur couldn’t wake up again even as Mietz grabbed him by the collar and shook him, and just collapsed completely. Maybe it was because he’d reunited with someone he could trust and lean on, and that made it easier for him to relax. With a deep sigh, Mietz picked up Chel on one hip and Arthur on the other, and hauled them up to the second-floor rooms. He put Chel in Isiel’s room, Arthur in the room he would share with Clayeo, and then returned to…

Side Story 1. The Sage Who Became Light and Gold (1) This is an old story, yet it is not the kind of narrative that calls for the song of a goddess. Melchior Lioghnan was rather sick of the muses’ chorus. Nine times, no matter the content, is simply too much. To begin with, this narration is not bound by the promise of the story. The lines begin outside the story. First, a question: How is the world constructed before the existence of the protagonist? Is it darkness where light and…

The Queen's Garden (1) Isiel, already knowing the inside story, stepped back, but Chel and the twins made a fuss. "Prophecy is a stigma that only appears to priestesses of the goddess of time, and even then, it's extremely rare! That's amazing!" "What does it look like!" "How would I know? I just woke up and it was there." "Now the mystery is solved. I always wondered how you managed to buy up land in the Oreils district so eerily well. Don't you know which stocks are going to rise…

The Northern Side of the Mountain Range (3) "Where in this neighborhood could you possibly make any money? Hardly anyone lives here, and even if you tried to collect something, the duke’s private land must all be mountains, right?" "You only know one thing and not the other. There aren't many people, but rare creatures are scattered all over these mountain ranges. Even so, for outsiders to sneak in and dig them up, the wild animals are fierce and the terrain is rugged." "Well, even the road…

The next morning at dawn. Cleio, who had woken early, entered the bathroom and lit a small gas lamp. Then, using office scissors, he cut his own hair. While in neighboring Brunnenn, it was still customary for men among the lords to grow their hair long, in Albion it was standard to comb the front hair back and keep the back neatly trimmed. Unless one was a classicist or of noble lineage, it was rare to grow hair below the shoulders, but Cleio, who hadn’t known the circumstances at first, had…

The Queen's Garden (3) A few hours later. [—Remaining Time / Time Limit: 19:17:03 / 24:00:00] Kleio, sluggish as he woke, and Arthur, still bright-eyed, headed toward the inner garden. Even after sleeping, Kleio still felt stiff and sore. He frowned as he stared at the back of Arthur’s head leading the way. 'Ugh. By the time you get to the , even the righteous protagonist has a surprisingly dark side.' He hadn’t expected Arthur to have already formed a private army and…

The Door of Mnemosyne (4) 'What is this now, fuck.' There wasn't even time to be angry at yet another sudden addition to the setting. Just in time, the shielding magic circle, having fulfilled its role, began to fade. "Let's talk in detail when we get back. First, we have to persuade Aslan. You all wait here." "Ray! I trust you! Go take care of things well." Kleio, who was about to leave the tent, asked one last question. "Aren't you guys… worried that it might be dangerous inside the…

Introduction to History (4) He had thought about it. The doubt of whether this world was simply "nothing more than a manuscript created through writing" had always lingered within 'Jeongjin'. But doubt could not turn into conviction. Too obvious a counter-evidence was engraved on his body, blocking such an assumption. Kleio held out the back of his hand to Regina. As he injected ether, a clear blue-azure rectangle and a thin line appeared on his skin. "I've already used this stigmata to turn…

The Stage of Enactment (1) Cleio, standing in the middle of the stacks, refrained from moving rashly. Instead, she activated "Perception" and slowly moved only her head. On the right bookshelf, even at a glance, there were old and worn books, and boxes used to store ancient texts, stacked layer upon layer. 'Could there really be a loose sheet of palimpsest stuck somewhere in there?' But that was not something she could search for right now. Cleio turned her attention to the bookshelf on the…

The Idyll of Albion (7) Kleio once again unfolded Fran’s letter. He did so in order to use every single word as material and cast it into his own bullets. "… By the time I arrived, the battle was already underway. Without approaching the outpost, I assessed the situation from a distance using ‘Spectacles of Appraisal’, ‘Clarity Telescope’, and ‘Echo Amplification’. Soon, the battle came to a close, and two knights who were severely wounded were carried out by their comrades.…

The Idyll of Albion (8) "But Kleio, anonymous tips are often ignored, and named tips will be traced later by the crown prince, so we need a suitable tip-off route." "Right." "Now, it’s your turn to applaud me. I know people at both companies who can place a tip-off document right on the editor-in-chief’s desk where it can’t be missed." "Who?" "Some colleagues from the Violet Club work there." The Violet Club was a suffrage movement group Chel was active in. Since he hadn’t…

Towards the reprint! (4) “No, there’s no case of doing business like this. There’s a payment deadline, so according to that, the promissory note….” “I am doing this because I can fully handle it. The remaining amount can also be paid in installments during the process through negotiation, so I hope you’ll keep that in mind.” “Why are you going this far for me?” “I’m Fran’s friend, and Mr. Bartleby, you’re Fran’s friend as well, aren’t you? I don’t want that…

Gray Flames of Revolution (1) During the awarding ceremony, the gallery of the hall was empty. The only attendees were the Master of Ceremonies, the Royal Chamberlain, and a few attendants to assist with the ritual. It looked like this decoration too faced opposition from the House of Lords, but Melchior seemed to have forced it through using ‘his unique skill.’ The official notice said family could be invited, but Cleio did not call anyone. Gideon and Vlad had returned to Colpos, and the…

Against the Darkness (3) Lunchtime the next day. For the first time since arriving at the duke’s estate, Cleo set foot in the main castle’s office. Unlike the newly built wing, the main castle was medieval in style, with narrow windows and cold stone walls, so tapestries were hung everywhere. Surrounded by all kinds of documents, letters, and file folders, Lysa couldn’t tear herself away from work even while being treated by Cleo. Other knights and soldiers who needed treatment had…

Farewell Just as Cleio was about to activate , KWAANG! With a tremendous roar, scarlet ether swirled around the boy. Amid the cold blizzard, Rosa’s white hair whipped fiercely. One Rosa shielded Arthur, while the other Rosa struck down Pierce’s three duplicates. She sliced through the backs of their knees, drove her blade between their ribs, and stabbed their throats. All three Pierces scattered and vanished in gray ether in an instant. It was such speed that it was hard to…

The Queen’s Garden (4) Now, Arthur’s back was nowhere to be seen. How many more seconds passed? In the distance, a clear flash of sword energy flickered three times. A massive cherry tree, likely over a hundred years old, was cut down along the sword’s trajectory and collapsed. Soon after, all the fragments of petals filling the space between Cleio and Arthur began to scatter like grains of sand. Shaa― It was, indeed, like watching the rapid corrosion of a mineral rather than a…
