It was late. The sun had already set, and the moonlight was hiding behind clouds, making the day chilly. The north wind in Helen becomes harsher at night. That's why the north built solid walls to block the fierce north wind and constructed castles to shield against it. That was Helen Castle, the main castle where Lorendis stayed. "Has the time already become this late?" The wall clock in the office pointed to the hour. Lorendis finished his night work and pressed his temples firmly. To…

Catherine knew a few facts from the book. In Helen, buildings and alleys looked similar. That's why one needed to pay attention to the street numbers. For example, streets were divided from Helen Street 1 to Helen Street 5, and one needed to know those numbers to avoid getting lost in Helen. The "person" Catherine was looking for was on Helen Street 3. 'Dr. James.' He was briefly described in the book. A skilled doctor, but with an aggressive personality who was greedy for money and expelled…

Life is fleeting. A life with a time limit is even more fleeting. But that's okay. Catherine had no attachment to life anyway. It rained that day. Rainwater poured down fiercely, and the windows rattled. 'I really have been abandoned.' The cold gazes of her family were directed at Catherine. Her family had abandoned her, and Catherine was abandoned. Catherine laughed self-deprecatingly and slowly raised her head. Her stepmother fluttered her fan and spoke. "Catherine, isn’t…

The knights looked at Marian with terrified expressions. With a cold and composed demeanor, Marian flicked her finger. The tightly shut door swung open effortlessly under the force of her magic, leaving Cobalto's knights utterly demoralized. They glanced around briefly before fleeing. "Let's go in." Marian, speaking calmly, was the first to pass through the door. Unlike Drake Castle with its serene and restrained beauty, this entire house was filled with gold ornaments. "This is my first…

Marian also learned that Marquis Katra had arrived in the capital and left the Empress's palace with an unpleasant expression. "What was Marquis Katra like when you met him?" "He was someone who would do anything for profit. In contrast, he could be harsh to those who weren't beneficial to him." Liebe answered after thinking carefully. That's why she had to take care of Marquis Katra when meeting with the blacksmith and giving him gifts. "He's generous to those who favor him, but that has its…

The night that seemed eternal finally faded. Though he was the champion of the gladiatorial tournament, Abel couldn't stay in the imperial city. He had no choice but to leave the palace with the townhouse key the Emperor had given him. "So he hands me this and kicks me out." Abel shook the key in his hand with an incredulous expression. The people from Giverny waiting outside burst into laughter. "News of today's events will have reached the North by now. Drake's loyal followers have already…

Heavy snow fell in the borderlands. It was amazing that there was still more snow to fall when so much had already accumulated. "What did you do today, Ian?" "I made a snowman, Mother." Young Arsen exaggerated, saying he had made a very large snowman, as tall as his father. He wanted to cheer up his mother who was lying in bed, but at the word 'father,' a sad expression appeared on his mother's face. "I see, well done." His mother, forcing a smile, patted her son's small hand. Her life force…

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Though there was no need, Arsen, who had been sneaking into the temple every night, had to admit it. The fact that he too greatly enjoyed this blasphemous act. Knocking on closed windows, kissing before greeting, straining the small bed to its limits, and escaping as dawn approached—he never knew such acts could be so thrilling and addictive. He especially liked the small single bed. Because the bed was small, Lydia clung tightly to Arsen to avoid falling…

"Did you think you could play with me, Lydia?" When Richard, who had been expressionless throughout, smiled, Lydia momentarily flinched. At the same time, guards who had been hiding behind pillars stepped forward. They had their hands on their sword hilts, ready to draw at any moment. Are you threatening me? 'Hmph, did he think I'd give in so easily?' Though she snorted inwardly, her fingers trembled slightly with instinctive fear. Lydia tightly gripped the hem of her priestess robe to hide…

High Priest Manus definitely knew something. But he wouldn't easily open his mouth. He even refused bribes. In the end, Lydia could only get him to talk after dangling the bait of "sharing a way to find the last remaining holy relic." And that was the result of persuading him for more than three days. "Actually, the Goddess didn't bestow it upon Saint Gregory." "Then?" "The Saint stole it." Can someone like that be called a saint? Isn't he a plunderer? Seeing Lydia's furrowed brow,…
