Spring came again. It means a year has passed since I fell into this novel's world. In other words, it's been a year since the real Alisa died, and my grand divorce plan has been going on for about that long too. Currently, that plan is temporarily on hold. Though the goal of getting divorced remains the same, I decided to take my time with the process and timeline. Actually, at this rate, I almost want to just stay still until Priscilla appears. It doesn't seem bad to let time pass comfortably…-

Under the drawer? My head tilted at the unexpected words. I had received many fortunes before, but this was the first time I had been told to do something so specific. I opened the drawer of the cabinet in the bedroom as Sparkle said. Inside were only a few small writing tools, nothing noteworthy. 'There's nothing here.' Perhaps this wasn't meant to be so literal but rather metaphorical? "If you look under the drawer, you can find an old secret." "There was nothing." "If you look under…

The day after the banquet. When I finally woke from my deep sleep, the sun was already setting. How long had I slept? At this rate, I'll be up all night again. Though they say nobles tend to wake late and sleep late, living like that made me feel I would truly die young. I slowly raised my body. My throat was dry. '......Oh?' But something felt wrong with my body. My eyelids were heavy. They felt hot, as if burning coals had been placed on them. My shoulders ached and my whole body…

Louise shivered at the cold that penetrated her skin. At night, the northern tower of the abandoned palace became as cold as ice. It was suspicious enough to make one wonder if someone was deliberately letting in the wind. Or perhaps winter had already arrived. How much time had passed? Louise was grateful that there was a small window here. Even with bars, it was a hundred, thousand times better than having none at all. Every time the sun rose, she scratched the brick beneath the window with her…

For a while, I spent my time eating well and resting well. Fortunately, after that, there were no instances of bleeding, including nosebleeds. There were no headaches, and my temperature was normal. My body felt light, and my mind was clear. The occasional sentences I read weren't particularly concerning. No one came to visit me. Despite being a Duke's wife, albeit from an unremarkable family and with little presence in the ducal household. It was somewhat disheartening. 'It's not troublesome, so…

A few days after that sticky night of jealousy, Bellota sent an invitation to Hestina. While the official reason for the invitation was to apologize for leaving the recent banquet drunk without properly greeting her, it contained circumstances that even Hestina didn't know about. Bellota wanted to apologize for misunderstanding Hestina all this time.

The Rundhardt Empire had been enveloped in a festive atmosphere for several months. A few months ago, they had succeeded in completely destroying the third source hidden in the Death Forest in the west. This happened just one year after they had cleanly dealt with the dark magic at the second source in the Rubble Mountains. The Holy Knight Order of Kanbremes had naturally been the ones to handle two such formidable sources within a year. All citizens of the Empire praised the Holy Knight Order that…

The two were able to enter the village through the wall without any particular inspection process thanks to Abel's authority. Though barely two years had passed, Abel had grown significantly in that time. If he could just grow a little more, he would be able to join the Holy Knight Order as he had wished. Abel wasn't the only thing that had changed. "Oh my......" Bellota looked around, unable to hide her amazement. She knew Selento's past days. The village that had been devastated as if there was no…
