"...Felix!?" After softly calling his name, I frantically looked around the carriage. Even though I knew no one else was inside, I was afraid someone might discover he was contacting me. Fortunately, the carriage was shaking so much that my voice probably wouldn't leak outside. "Haah... I finally hear your voice." At Felix's voice, which sounded relieved, I bit my lip. What words should I say to him? Having left Felix's side of my own accord, I couldn't simply greet him saying I was happy to hear…-

Assassination attempts and threats…! Lux, having realized Kervic’s true nature, ground his teeth. Kale relayed the contents of the notes while outlining the overall situation. Kervic had considered Felix a thorn in his side all his life, and despite not possessing the power of the sun, which is a condition for a legitimate heir to the throne, he was using all sorts of underhanded methods to bring Felix down. "...He also interfered to keep Lady Marina away from His Highness Felix's side. He…

I inhaled sharply in shock. I tried to deny it multiple times, but the sensation of the water power at my fingertips greedily trying to reach toward Felix was vivid. I clutched the pendant tightly. Without holding the pendant in my hand, I felt like what had just happened might occur again. 'Why did the water power suddenly... do that? Why did it try to take Felix's sun power...?' I leaned against the opposite cave wall, staying as far away from Felix as possible. Breathing deeply to calm the water…

My ears perked up at the woman's words, and I stopped on my way to the carriage. Even though I was wobbling on tiptoe with one shoe missing, I quickly headed toward the source of the sound. This caused Mrs. Betty, who was sticking close to me, to show a bewildered expression. "Lady Marina? You should return to the carriage......" "Shh!" I quickly cautioned Mrs. Betty to be quiet, then lowered my body. Mrs. Betty, who had instinctively crouched down with me, followed behind me. Weaving…

After the evening banquet at Semper Castle. Lux, who had first escorted the guests back to their rooms, moved with difficulty. Ian, who had been by his side, carefully observed Lux's complexion and cautiously spoke. "Your Grace. You look tired. You should rest early today." "Hmm... I suppose I should." Normally, Lux would have shaken his head once or twice and needlessly returned to his office to shuffle through more documents, but today he headed to his room without resistance. Though inwardly…

Early morning. After spending a night in Semper, I woke up shivering. "Yaaawn.... ugh." My entire body felt stiff, as if I had been beaten all over. I immediately got up, stretched widely, then slowly rotated my wrists and ankles while yawning again. 'Ugh, so sleepy.... Maybe it's because the weather is too cold, I don't feel like I slept properly.' Fortunately, the blanket provided by the castle was quite warm. Perhaps considering Semper's cold weather, the thick blanket became warm after I…

Marquis Lux Semper was an intimidating presence even when standing still. After the previous marquis died young from monster venom poisoning during a monster subjugation, Lux inherited the title at a tender age. Rather than possessing the dignified air of a refined knight, he exhibited the rugged demeanor of a seasoned hunter. He stood a full head taller than most adult men, with a massive build and stubborn brown hair tied back in a single ponytail, making him appear unlike a high nobleman. Despite…

A middle-aged woman in a red robe stood next to Mrs. Moson, deliberately making herself noticeable. Madam Callian's eyes flickered. Blood vessels stood out on her jaw as she suppressed emotions that seemed ready to surge forth. "Lily......" A faint voice. Madam Callian's daughter Lily. I had spoken with Lily before the wedding, having heard that they hadn't seen each other's faces for twenty years. "She said she watched from tall buildings whenever Madam visited or when supplies…-

His black hair flowed down over his forehead, catching on his long eyelashes. Beneath them, his obsidian-like eyes reflected my image. At first, I fell for his appearance, and when I learned he was the villain, I tried to break up, but Kaien caught me and wouldn't let me go. He whispered words of love while looking only at me. His eyes narrowed. He gave me a charming eye-smile. "Hup!" He surprised me with a kiss on my lips. Holding my breath, the gentle touch against my lips contained a…

Their vacation at the grand ducal residence had ended. In a week, Madam Callian would transport supplies through the snow tunnel she had created to the Forest of Demonic Beasts. The knights who had come with her would end their short vacation and return to relieve the other knights. Throughout winter, they would make three round trips in total, and knights who were not Ice Wall Knights but would travel with them for transport were being selected. This was a kind of practical training…
