'Kaien paid special attention to that person.' Besides, he didn't question it as if he already knew what purpose the rosary served. Senior Priest Gilrod shouted firmly. "This is slander! I don't know anything about the medals, and I haven't visited the Millus temple within the last two months! High Priest, don't you know? How much I..." As he turned around defending himself, the High Priest slapped Senior Priest Gilrod hard across the face. Senior Priest Gilrod stumbled backward, unable even…-

Kaien and I headed to the courtroom, leaving the room so the Emperor and the High Priest could talk. The image of the Emperor pressuring High Priest Gardner while discussing compensation wouldn't leave my mind. The Emperor pursued practical benefits and compromised appropriately with his enemies. He suppressed his emotions and anger, choosing what was best for Ingmier. The Emperor's patriotism toward Ingmier elevated even my spirits, though I normally lacked such sentiment. "It would be…

Even though he didn't mean they should undress right away, the priest clutched the front of his robe with both hands in fear. Senior Priest Gilrod stepped forward cautiously. "What are you plotting?" "Just as you distrust and guard against me, I worry about what schemes you might be planning." "Your Grace, everything is ready." The door opened and Ransel reported. Behind him, a soldier entered carrying a folding screen. "I simply want transparency, with nothing hidden on your bodies.…

That place I used to hate visiting. I led Kaien by the hand toward the gallery where the previous generation's portraits hung. Thanks to Baron Gohalm's insistence, the portraits of the previous Grand Duke and Duchess remained here as the only ones left. Though Kaien knew where I was taking him, he followed with heavy steps. "Benji told me that the previous Grand Duke had placed heating magic throughout the grand ducal residence so the Grand Duchess wouldn't feel the winter cold." After…

The witness had left a suicide note and taken his own life. They decided to continue the trial the next day to investigate this matter. [It's all my fault. I made a twisted choice claiming it was for the temple. I have brought shame to the temple through my wrongdoing, so I will atone. Since it was my fault, please do not blame the temple.] "The handwriting?" Kaien threw the paper with Homer's suicide note onto the table. Ransel, who had gone to verify it personally, answered. "It…

Philip Duns raised his hand from the representative's seat to request permission to speak. "Your Majesty, before the trial begins, I have something I wish to say to the citizens who have come to observe." "That statement will not influence the trial." Though the trial's conclusion was already determined, The Emperor granted permission. "Yes, I understand." "You may speak." Count Barcha, who was presiding over the proceedings, uttered those formal words. Philip Duns turned around…

The trial of the criminal Millers Teian opened. After his death, demonic beasts no longer appeared. Belatedly, the temple opened its doors and sent priests to help citizens return to their daily lives. Holy power healing, which normally required expensive payment, was provided free of charge. The temple, which could at least claim to have participated in subjugating the demonic beasts that appeared in the capital thanks to Priest Lark, worked hard to regain the public's favor that had turned…

"Your Grace, we're lowering a rope." Just then, a voice called from above. The demonic beasts raised their heads and growled threateningly toward the ceiling hole, but they didn't turn toward us. Weak light filtered through the hole as Benji, Love, and Wallit poked their heads through and waved. Soon a rope descended. "We need to go up together. Can it support our weight?" "Yes, it's fine." Kaien tugged on the rope to test it, then started to remove the sword and scabbard from his waist…

My body fell backward, dropping down. It felt like I was sinking into cold water. Frozen with tension, I couldn't even make a sound. As the beast's growl and foul smell rose up, my body began to tremble. Am I going to die like this? I had just gotten married and thought I would be happy with Kaien. Helbaitz shouted as he detached from me. It was too dark to see what was happening, but my body was wrapped in something soft, slowing my fall. "Helbaitz." Finally, my voice came…

The plaza was truly like hell with demonic beasts rampaging and battle formations in disarray. Reinforcements had arrived from the outskirts, but many didn't know this. The plan had gone awry, and parts of the wooden barrier had collapsed. Though people fought to protect their lives and families, a sense of defeat began to seep into their hearts. Seeing the attacks of massive demonic beasts right before their eyes, their fear deepened. Moreover, some people had seen and heard what happened…
