Thud. Not far from the bed where Roshan sat, the last visitor collapsed to the floor. Knox, who had cut him down, frowned at the blood spreading across the floor before slightly swinging his sword to clear the blade of blood. "They carry the emblem of the Sedas Kingdom's army...... But their swordsmanship resembles that of the Empire." Hayden, who was examining one of the dead assassins from a short distance away, reported. Knox, who had already knelt down, searched through the belongings of the man…-

The Sedas Kingdom fell. In just half a year. No country had expected the Sedas Kingdom to be conquered so quickly. Located at the northeastern edge of the continent, the Sedas Kingdom, though small, was a fairly solid nation with a history spanning over a thousand years. Moreover, the kingdom was situated in a location that was extremely difficult to invade. To the east and south of the kingdom, the Alanta Forest, filled with coniferous trees, stretched endlessly over high mountain ranges; to the…

The next day, thanks to the emperor's firm resolve, many people became busy. The council united in strong opposition to breaking the political marriage and the emperor's return to battle, but Rockfort was exceptionally firm. "This was a war I should have concluded from the start." When Rockfort spoke sternly while seated on the throne, tension filled the audience hall. "But Your Majesty. Currently, we're eliminating the remnants in cooperation with the Grand Duchy, so it's only a matter of time…-

Claude was invited to a banquet at the mansion of Miguel Pasto, the leader representing the Senate composed of nobles. He crossed the banquet hall where a considerable number of senators had already taken their seats and found his place. "I'm late." "It's quite surprising that someone like you with such a precise sense of time would be tardy." Miguel, seated at the head of the table, opened the conversation with apparent surprise. He was a count in his 60s with graying hair who had held the…-

Late at night, Rockfort frowned as he drank wine. "Small, but sharp." Though barely visible on the outside, the soft flesh inside his mouth where Elia had bitten him earlier throbbed. Considering the tangy taste of blood, he must have been wounded somewhere. "So fearless." Wounding the emperor's body, especially causing him to bleed, was a capital offense punishable by death. Yet Rockfort's eyes gleamed not with anger but with interest as he muttered to himself. "She seems clever but…

Olivia hugged her basket tightly and stepped aside as she heard the noisy sound coming from behind. A carriage rushed past on the clean, well-maintained road. A cat curled up in the basket poked its head through the gap. —It's chaotic. Noisy. Dirty. "Oh my, did dust get in?" She gently stroked the grumpy-looking cat, soothing the complaining little one. Even Olivia, a human, hadn't fully adapted to the busy city life yet, so how much worse must it be for the cats? For cats that had grown up all…-

Rumors about the duke caught fire. For decades, rumors about the reclusive duke had been dismissed as merely one of those scary legends with no real substance, but when the monster duke revealed himself to the people, it caused an uproar throughout the Empire. The administrator who had been managing the territory in place of the duke led soldiers into the duke's forest and went missing. All the soldiers he took were killed and left brutally abandoned in the forest. People in the small village near the…

— Strange, it's strange. — But the thorn bushes are really strong, so it should be fine, right? — Were there always this many people in the forest? Olivia, who was about to enter the mansion with an armful of herbs needed to prepare medicine, suddenly swerved with a screech. She seemed to have heard something quite concerning. A group of rabbits that had settled at the edge of the forest had gathered with serious expressions, discussing among themselves. "Hello? Hello, hello." After…

Leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, Lime remained silent for a while. Staring blankly at the empty room without its owner, he recalled what the boy who had just left had said. 'She, she's been missing for a while now. The villagers and I have been searching, but we still don't know where she is......' There were no signs of forced intrusion in the house. There weren't any valuables to begin with, and it didn't seem like anyone had come to search through things, which meant she disappeared…

The animals lined up, waiting for their turns. "Next." At Olivia's voice, the cat who was next in line leaped onto the platform covered with a soft carpet. "Meow meow. Meooow." —I hate pain. Please be gentle. "Of course. Today we're just doing a simple check-up." With a bright smile, Olivia carefully examined everything she could check externally—whether the eyes and ear canals were clean, if their oral condition was good, and she thoroughly checked their overall health by gently kneading…
