It was just as Baron Vulti was entering the trading company. "Baron." A man with a friendly smile approached him. Baron Vulti looked at the man with displeasure. He wasn't happy to see someone who worked at the night market appearing in broad daylight. "I came to see you, Baron." "You came all the way here? I told you not to wander around during the day, yet you're out again. Should I cut off those legs to keep you in place?" As the man was someone who never listened well to his words,…-

Elena pretended not to notice Rudfelix's gaze and focused only on the table. The table was filled with appetizing dishes, featuring a main course of salami decorated with roses. If it had been a course meal, she could have simply focused on each dish as it arrived, but Rudfelix had ordered everything to be brought out at once, so the maids had lined up to place all the dishes on the table. Elena lowered her overwhelmed eyes from the dazzling array of elaborate dishes. She wondered why he had ordered…

The year that seemed would never end had passed swiftly, and a new year had begun. The barren, white winter landscape had melted away, and the constellations had shifted slightly. This meant winter would soon end completely. "I can already feel spring approaching." "Yes, my lady. Winter is nearly over now." Even the longest season in Elia's life had an end. Her particularly painful nineteenth year would also end tomorrow. "So much has happened. Truly......" Elia murmured as she set…-

On an unusually chilly autumn morning, Elia began her daily routine as usual. Seeing the courtiers had cleared all the fallen leaves from the garden, leaving only bare branches, made her truly feel winter was coming. "My lady, a letter has arrived." Hannah wore a cautious expression as she approached Elia, who had just finished her morning grooming. Since Rockfort, who was in the Imperial Palace, wouldn't have sent a letter, Elia's expression also darkened. "Give it to me." "Yes." Elia…

With the emperor returning after several months, his workload was beyond description. "According to Your Majesty's command, the victory ceremony will be held tomorrow in a simplified form." "Though simplified, there must be no lack of respect for the knights and those who distinguished themselves." "I will keep that in mind." The Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs bowed their heads before Rockfort. "While we restrain extravagance in victory ceremonies and imperial rituals,…

"Rosé Mora, do you swear to belong to the palace knights with unwavering loyalty to the Empire?" Rosé quietly looked down at the sunlight that shone from the window to her feet, then slowly raised her head. In her eyes reflected Ariel, holding a sword engraved with the imperial seal in both hands. "Yes, I swear." She straightened her bent knee. Now Ariel turned his eyes to where each knight commander stood. "I ask each knight order: Will you recognize Rosé Mora as a member of the Imperial…-

"What did you just say?" Julia, who was cutting roasted pumpkin into bite-sized pieces, looked at Emmett with an awkward smile. He spoke in a clear voice to prevent her from asking again. "I said I want to break off our engagement." The fork that had been precariously perched on the edge of the table fell to the floor at that moment. No one tried to pick it up. Julia took a deep breath. But her trembling hands couldn't hide her anxious feelings. "What's the reason?" From his untouched…

It was too vivid a scene to be a nightmare. Parchments burning in braziers, maids cutting their hair and changing into rags, nannies throwing children out windows in bags with blankets. Lian, who woke up and came out to the corridor, couldn't understand what he was seeing. Slightly larger than the pillow he was holding, he wandered the corridor looking for Mom and Dad. But no matter how loudly he called, they didn't appear. Around the time only wind sounds escaped from his hoarse throat, someone…

— You’re Lian Mora. Right? — Can I really go back? — Let go! I said let go! You fraud! In a dream where human figures appeared blurry, Rosé listened to voices ringing loudly. The voices, filled with anger and resentment, attacked someone. Opposite the voice stood a man who looked pitiful. Unlike the angry voice, he countered with words that sounded miserable. — If I let go, will you leave me? The voice didn't answer. Perhaps sensing the hesitation within, he approached…

"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Blue Rock. The coachman carefully addressed his passenger who kept her head down while heading toward that uncommon destination. She clutched an old cloth bag like a treasure, looking so pale as if someone had stolen her money. "I know life is hard, but don't skip meals. Hunger makes everything more miserable." Passengers heading to Blue Rock belonged to only two categories. Either the daughter of that house, or debt collectors threatening that daughter to pay…
