Could this purification ceremony be different from what I thought would end in a day or two? Ominous thoughts always proved right. "Yes, that's already a shortened period. The Black Dragon's curse, passed down since the founding of the nation, couldn't be dealt with as simply as for ordinary people." "It's conducted with twelve high-ranking priests and the high priest taking turns praying day and night, Ivy." I stared at Priest Lark with my mouth open. "In the early days of the founding, the…-

Love was greatly disappointed when I said I wouldn't get engaged. I planned to rest at home for a while, but I quickly left because I couldn't stand seeing Love lying limply on the sofa with a gloomy expression. Edwin was leaning against a flat carriage across from my house, though the letter probably hadn't arrived yet. He appeared uninjured, suggesting he had safely escaped yesterday's commotion. Edwin waited in place until I approached him. "Ivy." "I'm sorry. You must have been…

"No, Edwin doesn't know. We went in together, but I did it alone!" He had seen me with Edwin from the beginning. My lies were completely exposed. I lied to him and deceived him, and nearly died in the process. I didn't turn around, but I could imagine what kind of look Kaien was giving me. "Well......" I explained the situation while fidgeting with my hair. "Priest Lark Mühel has a younger sister he was separated from as a child." "What does that priest have to do with…

"Ack? Mice?" "What the hell? Why are these mice suddenly appearing?" Mice began swarming in from somewhere. 'Dangerous!' After defeating the orc, having animals swarm around could give the enemy a chance to escape, so I put the bracelet back on. The approaching mice flinched in surprise and scattered in all directions. They scurried across people's bodies, escaping toward the walls and doors. "Oh, he killed the orc." "As expected of Grand Duke Blemer......" As the subordinates…

Bang! The door opened roughly, hitting the wall. "Stop." A masked man with black hair entered the slave room, and upon seeing the count pointing a dagger at me, closed the distance in just a few steps. He kicked the count's hand and struck his neck with the sword hilt. It happened so quickly that it felt like it occurred simultaneously with the door opening. With a choked sound, he grabbed the falling man's head and slammed it to the floor. Though his aura was terrifying enough to kill…

None of the other slaves raised their heads while we changed our appearances. A moment later, a woman with wheat-colored hair and a black mask stood before me, wearing the exact dress I had worn earlier. Still tied to the leash. I had easily changed the hair color with a magic ring. The hair flowing over my shoulders was silver, and I had changed into the thin pajama-like clothes the woman had been wearing. 'How embarrassing to be wearing such clothes outside my bedroom.' "The…

Though it was rude behavior, Kaien didn't tell her to back down. "There is definitely an effect. Even if Your Grace doesn't feel it, it's a necessary process, Your Grace. Even for the people working at the grand ducal residence." "How cruel. Forcing your master to receive it even when I said I don’t want to?" "It's for Your Grace's people." At his coldly spoken words, Mrs. Moson bowed deeply with a gloomy expression. Rebecca's holy power had affected the curse in Kaien's body. I didn't…

I automatically clenched my fist as the face of the oppressive Priest Lark appeared in my mind. "Lady Rebecca, fancy meeting you here. I was just hoping to speak with you, so this is perfect." A lady approached our table, and her companions soon joined her. The frills and lace from the crowd of ladies brushed against my skin uncomfortably. Edwin stood up. "Miss Rebecca, please chat comfortably. We've finished our conversation, so we'll be going now." "Ah, but......" "Thank you for…

"When I heard you were asking about curses and wanting to carry blessed items, I knew Your Ladyship was different from His Grace." He knew about my visit to the souvenir shop. It was a conversation I had just before meeting him—at what moment had it been relayed to him? I suddenly recalled him reading a small note when entering the room. A chill ran down my spine. Kaien had postponed the purification ritual under the pretext of going on a demonic beast hunt with Ransel, and he still hadn't…

"Do you mean Roarania's Dagger, the one used by the first Emperor to defeat the dragon?" Since I was hearing about the dagger's history for the first time, I just smiled, and the priest misunderstood that I already knew about it. "Unfortunately, no one knows the whereabouts of Roarania's Dagger. Many sacred artifacts were lost during that calamity. It's truly regrettable." The priest made the sign of the holy cross and said a brief prayer. As a trainee priest, he might not know of its…
