The sounds of hoofbeats and wheels mingled together, pounding the road before gradually subsiding. A slightly tired-looking noblewoman stepped down from the carriage door held open by a servant. "Thank you for bringing me home." "Not at all, madam." Radilt greeted the coachman and servant before entering her house. She gazed briefly at the fully bloomed peonies in her arms before going upstairs to her bedroom. Where should I display these peonies? Having received flowers without fail every…-

The dim dawn air seeped through the window cracks. It carried a pleasantly moderate coolness. Radilt combed her disheveled hair and changed out of her thin nightgown. Yesterday's flowers still spread their rich fragrance from an old vase. What fault did these flowers have, forcibly robbed of their chance to bear seeds by human hands? So she had carefully brought them to her bedroom. Radilt released a short sigh and went downstairs. The dusky living room remained quiet. Today and tomorrow, Pendlore…

Three chunks of thoroughly boiled meat rolled in the pot as chopped vegetables tumbled in. Radilt poured milk delivered at dawn around the vigorously boiling broth. Then she hung hard bread over the steaming pot. Exposing it to steam would make it somewhat softer and easier to eat. It also tasted better than dissolving it completely in water. Radilt stepped away from the hot fire and leaned against the wall. After that brief moment of rest, she took out the dishes. A stew bowl, bread plate, and…

Her husband left behind only one old house. A mansion with a faded green roof where wind and rainwater seeped through the window frames, and everything creaked in chorus with the slightest hasty movement. Still, if it had been just that mansion, Radilt Brill would have been grateful. "Already twenty-one years old!" A sharp voice echoed loudly through the dim living room. "That's an age when people say you're already too late!" Radilt's young sister-in-law Erite kept shouting while frowning…

The incident occurred on an afternoon when Lysith's work finished earlier than Verheigen's, unlike usual. Seraphiel, who had just turned five, suddenly dropped a bombshell statement while reading a fairy tale book. "Umm...... I want to meet someone like the Grand Duke when I grow up." Crash—! At the shocking statement, the teacup that had been obediently held in Verheigen's hand fell and shattered with a loud noise. The peaceful emperor's office was instantly enveloped in silence, and that…-

The incident occurred one day when ten months was approaching, during lunch teatime, thanks to time that flowed swiftly like flowing water. "Oh......" When Lysith, who had been drinking tea, suddenly placed one hand on her belly and tilted her head in puzzlement, Verheigen's eyebrows shot up as he sat in front of her. "Why. Are you uncomfortable somewhere?" "Mm, no. It's nothing...... Ah!" It seemed like her belly hurt a little. After some time passed, it didn't seem like it, so Lysith shook…

'Time is cruel. Humans, unable to live eternal lives like the gods, are buried in fleeting moments. Great empires, the emperors who ruled them, and renowned generals leave only brief traces. Before time, they eventually crumble like sand. Thus, the Vistius Empire also sets with time. As the different species who fled across three seas soon return, a new crisis will befall not only the Empire but the entire continent.' The cry of a blind seeress ended. Tied to the stake, she was judged a heretic and was…-

White flowers hanging downward filled the temple with whiteness. The crowd cheered at the golden light scattered over the thin stems. On the highest balcony of the temple, a young cleric who had not yet reached adulthood appeared. People everywhere exclaimed in admiration. The young cleric, with a long white cloth draped over his head, looked supremely sacred under the sky where white flowers scattered. The gold thread embroidered on his clothes and the tall prophet's crown added to his…

Sedas is a country that served many gods. The small country in the northeast had as many temples as there were gods. And there was a place that oversaw and managed the many temples—that was the role of the temple within the royal palace. "From today, this is where you will spend your life." Casia, with white hair and black eyes, entered the temple within the royal palace when she was about four years old. Her parents, a rural couple who lived by hunting, handed over their young daughter without…

Death was more peaceful than expected. All senses disappeared, and the body became light, feeling as if it floated with the air. But it was also cold. While the physical body seemed like it might float with the slightest breeze, consciousness was the opposite. The feeling of continuously falling into cold water with no end in sight. Yerena felt herself sinking. 'Cold.' In the chill that seemed to freeze her to the bone, Yerena forgot all thoughts and curled up. Would she freeze after falling like…
