Quite some time had passed since then. Constantine had left the imperial capital and returned to Kramer territory, handling his usual duties and subjugating demonic beasts. Upon returning to the Kramer territory, Caligo became excited and chattered even more frantically. Rising with dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping properly for days, he stood by his bedroom window and stared blankly outside for a while. Unlike his mood, the outside was quite clear. — Master. Are we going…-

Shall we get married? ‘…I almost died.’ The first thought that came to mind as soon as she regained consciousness was this. The feeling of my body floating in mid-air was still vivid. Her stomach felt like it had swelled up and then shriveled, and she thought it might burst at any moment… As that sensation replayed, Saena’s body began trembling again. The fear of being on the brink of death wasn’t something that disappeared easily. “Saena.” At that moment, someone…

“Miss!” Even though the sun had been up for quite some time, Saena hadn’t moved from her room, and it seemed the news had reached her nanny, who came looking for her. Ugh. The nanny’s energetic voice carried an ominous tone. Saena pulled the blanket over her head, pretending to be asleep, but it didn’t take long for her act to be discovered. “I know you’re not sleeping.” “……” “You need to get up and get…

Founding Festival. It is an event that commemorates the founding of the empire while also wishing for its enduring history to continue. Since the proclamation of the empire's founding took place during the peak of autumn, it also serves as a harvest festival, making the Founding Festival a grand and resource-rich celebration every year. It is a time when taxes accumulate at both the imperial and territorial levels, so there is an abundance of food and…

There was a burst of light in an instant. Saena slightly closed her eyes and then reopened them at the suddenly overwhelming brightness. The first thing that caught her eye was the dazzling chandelier hanging from the ceiling. And then, the gazes. Feeling the sudden attention directed at her, Saena slowly scanned the hall. When she debuted for the first time, those gazes had felt so suffocating. She couldn’t even remember how she had made her…

The Founding Festival ended. Whether it was short or long, for Saena, it felt strangely eventful. Even though she only attended the first and last banquets. 'I'm glad it's over.' Saena left the townhouse immediately the day after the final banquet. As soon as she entered her room in Delvon, Saena threw herself onto the bed. Thump. "Yelp!" Saena screamed in response to something on the bed making a strange noise while fluttering about. "Ah!" As she raised her startled body to…

From the next day onward, Saena became dramatically brighter. The cloud that had been hanging over her face since waking from her long slumber mysteriously lifted. The Count, Sage, her nanny, and others were delighted by this change, but they soon found themselves faced with another concern. It was as if her dream had suddenly shifted to becoming a gardener—every day, she would go out to the garden and obsessively care for a single tiny sprout. She was visibly…

Her Father and Sage came to visit every morning for a while. They only left to start their day after seeing Saena awake and moving. They seemed very worried. Perhaps it was because they feared Saena might not wake up again after falling asleep, or maybe it was because they had wandered the entire mansion like mad people in the middle of the night, searching for Yuri. It wasn’t hard to understand their feelings. Even so, Saena spent her time in a…

She had been lost in trivial thoughts about how remarkably beautiful her hands had become since earlier. It was also strange how her family members, whom she hadn't seen up close in years, all looked oddly younger. "Do you know how shocked we were when a child who was down with a cold suddenly fell into a coma and wouldn't wake up?" Sage stroked Saena's head while letting out a sigh of relief. His voice seemed slightly choked with emotion, showing his genuine relief. "...A cold?" "You were…

Saena returned to the townhouse. Upon arrival, she instructed the attendants to move the materials and was about to enter the building when the porch appeared unusually chaotic. The butler was pacing back and forth, flustered, looking quite disoriented. ‘Is there a guest coming over?’ It seemed far too hectic to be merely preparing for a guest's visit. The staff of the Debov family were generally well-trained, so it was unusual for them to act so…
