            <description><![CDATA[Episode 205 With that single remark, the mood of the meeting took a sharp turn. “Certainly, if it’s the Five Nations Council…” Cheshire’s eyes narrowed, as if weighing possibilities. The Five Nations Council was an international peace organization founded by the five countries that had won the Sealing War some seven centuries ago. There was the Holy Empire, built on faith in the divine;…]]></description>

As Belinda lifted her head from her work, which kept her up late into the night, she saw Terry standing there, holding a lantern. “Master, everyone has arrived.” Despite the late hour, when everyone in the manor was asleep, both Belinda and Terry appeared immaculate in full formal attire,…]]></description>

I leaned in close and whispered to him softly. “I&#8217;ll say there isn’t, but tell me, just between us.” “There really isn’t…” Despite his stubborn insistence, he…]]></description>

As if that weren’t enough, an epidemic broke out, and the people’s despair and anger turned toward their ineffectual lord. The young baron tried to gather the family’s remaining wealth to buy grain, but the neighboring lords, as if in agreement, refused to…]]></description>

If the price had been insufficient, it wouldn’t have manifested at all.” “Then… are you saying that’s just how the spell was meant to be?” “I don’t know what the Red Tower Lord would think, but he is immortal, isn’t he?” Cheshire spoke as if joking, but, horrifyingly, his words were true. Neither…]]></description>

A smaller child tried desperately to lift him back up, but it was no use. I barely restrained myself from shouting at the children to take cover and dashing out of the barrier. Considering the distance between me and the children, any rash move could have drawn the…]]></description>

Dawn was slowly approaching, yet the sky remained dark under the lingering influence of the typhoon. Outside, the only sounds were the occasional crash of something breaking; inside, all was silent. “You sons of bitches!” Correction—the air was far…]]></description>

He’d been communicating with the priests about the “Walkers of the World’s Veil,” but that was only because they shared a common goal and mutual interests. As head of the Grey Tower, Cheshire was obliged to extradite the Red Tower Master—a top-level fugitive in…]]></description>

Watching this ambiguous gesture, somewhere between a nod and a shake, I couldn’t help but let out a short laugh. It was almost admirable, how this man, who once thought a mask would be enough to hide his identity, put so much…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Episode 192 The port city, warned of an approaching typhoon, was in an uproar. Every ship anchored at the harbor, from small boats to massive sailing vessels, had been secured tightly with ropes, while people battened wooden planks over every window.

            <description><![CDATA[Episode 190 The horror of the possible outcome alone was enough to keep me vigilant. At the same time, it made clear just how difficult this case would be to resolve. Above all, there was simply too little information. I had discovered the black mage organization&#8217;s goal, but I knew neither the means nor the steps they intended to take to achieve it. Furthermore,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Episode 189 The magic I had witnessed from Leo and Cheshire until now had always been beautiful and steadfast, suffused with goodwill.

The worst typhoon in decades battered every corner of the once-prosperous harbor city like the hammer of a vengeful god. Right in the heart of this devastation—showing just how powerless human civilization was in the face of nature—stood Giuseppe. The storm winds raged and tore at…]]></description>

On the other hand, what Cheshire is after is the Red Tower Master—a wanted criminal from the Magocracy and a member of that same dark mage organization. At first glance, it might seem as if they’re chasing the same enemy. “The Red Tower Master absolutely must fall into the hands of the Tower.…]]></description>
