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…

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 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…

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…

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…

Toward the Reprint! (1) After staring at the map for quite some time, Kleio realized that sleet had turned the sky white. ‘…Not today.’ With this weather, neither trains nor carriages would be able to travel between Fesselrn and Lundane. Behemoth, who had been licking hot chocolate with cognac, was already dozing off. ‘It’s a very snowy winter. I can’t tell if this is normal or if it’s just this year.’ It was the first Albion winter for “Kim Jeongjin.” Though the…

Final Exams (1) The next day. Before finals, there was Professor Maria Gentile’s Magic Basics II class. It was a lecture that summarized the entire semester’s material. Unlike Zebedi, who pushed students off a cliff and made them climb back up, Professor Maria explained key points in a way that was easy to understand, step by step. Zebedi was a classic genius type. His lectures were hard to follow. Because he skipped over small steps in learning and jumped straight to the results as a…

Urgent Need for Compliance with the Labor Standards Act First of all, the Crown Prince. From Clio's perspective, it would have been easier to deal with him if he were, say, the possessor of the revised version of the book, or the author's evil twin. However, Behemoth called Melchior a human. If that's the case, he simply concluded that Melchior was just a human, merely under the muse’s blessing. Looking back at the circumstances when Taeseoton, awakened as a reincarnator, fainted, it seemed…

Final Exam (4) One hundred and forty years ago, Albion’s King Absalom I was deposed by his maternal cousin Thomas Saphir, who was backed by the noble faction, and suffered the humiliation of exile across the Pintos Mountains. Thomas Saphir, having ascended to the throne with the support of the nobles under Regent Saville, approved the founding of the House of Lords as a condition. This was the beginning of Albion’s king sharing power with the House of Lords. Thomas’s nickname, “the…

Against the Darkness (7) With Taetherton’s strength, the duke could be killed with a single touch, and after that, Cleio could be lawfully punished. That is, if he failed to heal Melchior. ‘I’m only level 4. If a level 7 knight attacks for real, I can’t stop him.’ The duke’s bedroom was past several thick doors from the hallway. Even if Cleio shouted for help, it would only echo in the empty corridor, where not even a single guard was posted. ‘Right. The reason I was brought…

Unconcealed passion radiated from within Katarina. Celestes, who had been leaning at an angle against the window frame with her arms folded, showed no reaction to her mother’s reproach. “Do you think your grandmother and I went through all that suffering just so you could waste it on some reckless game of playing soldier? It took three generations to build this fortune, but it only takes one to waste it all!” It had been revealed by the Internal Security Bureau’s investigation that Chel…

The Battlefield on the Tablecloth (2) On the wall at the far end of the hall, opposite the entrance, a heavy canopy was draped. Beneath it were the thrones of the king and queen. Below and to the right of the throne was the crown prince’s seat, and one step lower than that were the seats of the two princes. Each step was only a few handspans high. But the amount of blood that would flow while the princes of the Kingdom of Albion struggled to climb those steps, one by one, would be…
