Episode 10 But the young lord simply grinned, his broad, round eyes—at least a head taller than mine—narrowing mischievously. “That’s enough for greetings, let’s head inside. The sun’s set, and the air’s getting a bit brisk.” Mister placed a casual hand upon both my head and Void’s. Then, suddenly, he knit his brows. “The height difference…” It’s too much. That seemed to be his muttered complaint, but I was too distracted, keenly observing Void. “And the old…

Episode 8 “Don’t touch that.” “Huh?” “I know it looks pretty… but it’s poisonous.” Leviathan Mister scowled and pulled me far away. “Sibelita Herb.” “Ah, but this is…” I almost corrected him, then let it go. Abelita and Sibelita. Two herbs with not only similar names, but also seemingly similar appearances—at least at a glance. Upon closer inspection, everything was different… ‘But I suppose to the untrained eye, it looks the same.’ The…

Episode 2 “No, I don’t need it.” And with that, I was cleanly rejected. So cleanly, in fact, that I was left speechless. “Tch…” “Tch?” Leviathan tapped my lips lightly. “I thought you were the silent type, but turns out you’re a sharp-tongued child. You had me fooled for a moment.” Deep violet eyes stared straight at me. I stuck out my lower lip in displeasure, and whatever that gesture meant to him, he visibly relaxed his gaze. “Suddenly the kid starts…

Episode 3 “It’s because of the victory festival. Endure it.” “Ugh… It’s overwhelming!” To be honest, I’ve always hated loud noises, even in my past life. Besides, here in the Mage Kingdom of Arcadia where I was born and raised, the entire population is less than 3,000 people—in other words, the place is practically a monastery… So the noise of the Imperial capital is simply too much stimulation for me! It’s left me more exhausted than when I faced the Dark…

Episode 115 Around the time my adoption papers were being prepared. Out of the blue, Father asked me, “Ruby, when's your birthday?” “I don't have one.” “…….” “Is it important? Oh, it’s the day you eat cake, I suppose. But now I can have cake anytime, even without a birthday. Why do you ask?” The Mage King certainly never bothered to tell me my birthday. I was too busy surviving to ever be curious about it myself. Ah, at the orphanage in my previous life,…

Episode 6 “Yes.” It was an answer without the slightest hesitation. “…” Peeking out from under the rustling blanket, I saw Mister look at me and let out a long sigh. “There’s something wrong with your eyes and the back of your head.” “I don’t know what you mean.” “Neither do I.” His voice drooped in resignation. As heat simmered in my body, I couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. The simple fact that he’d come looking for me somehow made me happy. I…

122A cluster of blue hydrangeas filled the windowsill, flooding my vision. Petals heavy with moisture shivered now and then, as if waving a greeting to me. What is this… So this was what you were doing in front of my room? “I’ll move them.” “Huh?” My dazed mind snapped back to focus. Khalid mumbled gloomily from behind me. “I didn’t realize you were upset, and I overstepped. I’m sorry.” “No… Why flowers all of a sudden?” “You used up all the magic stones,…

132Havan gave the order. I hid behind my picture book and swept a glance around. “What are you waiting for? I told you to bring the pen!” “All right…” Resigned, I answered quietly and stood up. Then, moving slowly, I picked up the pen and turned around. Heading straight to Havan’s desk, I dumped out his pencil case with a crash. “What do you think you’re doing?! You crazy? Touching other people’s things?!” What a splendid self-introduction. “You said to bring you…

Episode 117< The Heart of the Empire! … > Somewhere… those words… Just then, a familiar voice echoed in my mind. "If necessary, aim for the heart." Ah. The words Leviathan had spoken in the original story… 'But why did that suddenly come to mind?' Was it simply because the words overlapped? "Hmm. How cryptic." Frowning in frustration, I pressed my fingers to my brow. At that moment, the door opened and Hazel walked in. "Huh? Miss, why are you standing there like…

Episode 105 The count straightened his spine and swallowed hard. The tracking mage was staying in one of the Ipsen mansions prepared by Count Camellan, in accordance with the imperial command. Leviathan had secretly ordered the count to investigate that bedchamber. "The security was extremely tight, but it's not as if he stays cooped up in the mansion all day." Ssshhh. Hastily copied notes were placed on the table. "I wrote down the mage's memos exactly as they were left. Please take a…

Episode 123 Because of the mana-restricting collar around my neck, this place felt even more oppressive. Of course, it was thanks to that collar that I had managed to cross the border and reach the capital of Babylon without being exposed as a mage. ‘The Duke of Zevert is definitely here… I should take a look around first.’ Muttering to herself, the woman quickly left the Academy and slipped away into the crowd. ‘Seventh, you won’t escape me.’ Her green eyes glinted. She…

Episode 119 “They say he’s the Fourth Prince?” “Oh.” Come to think of it, he did ask if he could write to me. I paused, my hand reaching for the letter. “But… what is…?” How extravagant is this?! Gold embossing was just the start—when I tore open the envelope, a pleasant fragrance wafted out. As I unfolded the slightly creased paper, it released a symphony of floral scents… It was, in every sense, spring itself. Hello, Rubian. It's Licht. Are you doing…

Episode 74 ‘But who was it?’ Their face was hidden by the hood pulled low. I couldn’t gauge their height or build either… “The price for standing against our king will be severe.” Only that clear line of dialogue remained in my memory. The tone wasn’t distinct, but one thing stuck with me— ‘The crest on their right forearm.’ The mark trailing beneath the sleeve surfaced vividly in my mind. The World Tree. A dragon encircling it as it soared upward. It was the…

Episode 17 The bedroom had already been tidied up by Hazel. I washed up thoroughly and changed into my pajamas by myself. “Ah, this feels great!” The sleeves of my pajamas were long, so I had to remember to fold them up carefully. Then, I dove straight into bed. Mister was sitting slouched on the sofa in one corner of my bedroom, reading some documents. Someone must have brought them while I was washing up. “You’re not waiting to see me fall asleep before leaving, are…

Episode 83 That evening. Liam Zevert sat at his desk in the study, his face grave. “This is troubling.” “What is, sir?” “Oh, you startled me.” Liam frowned in displeasure and turned to look beside him. It was the attendant who usually served him. “Did I say anyone could come into the study?” “Miss Rubian told me to come and do some cleaning.” “It is about time.” Seeing the young master rise so readily, the attendant chuckled inwardly. These days,…

“What is this?” “What do you mean.” “…Hell?” “It’s my domain.” Leviathan Mister gave my forehead a light push. I stared blankly down at the vast expanse spread out before me. The bleak northern wind fluttered my short hair as dust balls rolled across the scene. “There’s nothing here but rocks.” “I told you.” A chill-filled swirl of dust tumbled along. Mister’s domain, filled with gray stone walls, looked—frankly—like the ruins of a fallen…

Ch. 1 “Hey.” At the sharp call, the child lifted their head. Covered in dirt and dust, the child was rummaging through a corpse’s pockets. “Are you hungry?” Leviathan asked. Instead of replying, the child’s blue eyes rolled searchingly. Though it looked like they wanted to say they were hungry, their expression was guarded. ‘A wise choice.’ No matter how hungry you are, you shouldn’t run up to strangers—absolutely not. Then again, rifling through the pockets…

70 Jingle, jingle! “Correct!” The cheerful sound of the bell filled the cave, and Sortie grinned, exclaiming, “I got it right!” “But do Abelita herbs really have pointy leaves? I can never tell…” I puffed up my chest with pride. “There’s a trick to recognizing them. If you visit the ducal estate later, I’ll show you myself.” “Wow!” “Rubian, you really know so much.” Olivia admired me with pure wonder. The children sat in a circle by the…

93 As soon as I entered the maze garden’s entrance, the fresh scent of greenery filled the air. “Wow, it’s huge. And so wide.” The walls, made suitably low for children, didn’t feel intimidating. I strolled leisurely at first, then gradually picked up my pace. Since I was here, I might as well escape quickly and impress my family! Just then, the bushes beside the path rustled, and a familiar squirrel popped out. “Oh! Squirrel! Did you come to help me?” The sight of…

Episode 118 ‘Mister Maddix?’ “I’m heading home for the day!” She darted out the shop’s back door with a whoosh. At the same moment—bang! The door flew open. “Asha!” The blacksmith, his long green hair tied back anyhow, flexed his impressive, sinewy muscles as always. “Mister Maddix!” It had been a while since I’d seen him. I hurried over to greet him. His bushy eyebrows danced. “Miss Ruby? Long time no see.” “What brings you here……
