The emperor's expressionless face was a first. High Priest Sinax nervously swallowed dry saliva at the emperor's face, which neither giggled nor showed anger as he usually did. 'He should be confronting the Crown Prince about this. Damn it!' Sinax already anticipated why the emperor had summoned him. The widely circulating rumor, which had grown even larger after passing through the Founding Day banquet, was related to him. "High Priest." Just as Sinax was thinking about what excuse to offer…-

It was night turning into dawn. But Yerena sat on the couch with both feet up, her head tucked between her knees. "Please drink this. I'm worried you'll become dehydrated." The knight who hadn't left her side brought water. Yerena neither moved nor responded. 'Kian' considered placing his hand on her shoulder to force her to drink but decided against it. Though it irritated him to see her harm herself over a mere commoner woman, he chose to exercise patience since this would soon end…

Arriving at the Sedas Kingdom, Hayden clicked his tongue at the luxurious interior of the royal palace. Although he and the imperial army had invaded half a year ago and plundered most of the treasures and gold as the invaders' right, all traces of that had completely disappeared. Rather, there were even more decorations and sculptures, gold leaf covering walls and floors alike, jewels embedded in the ceiling as if imitating the night sky, and splendid chandeliers. It felt exactly like being in the…

Yerena realized as she watched the despairing women before her. That she was dreaming. It had started some time ago. Instead of her dead family, the ancestors of Sedas, specifically the princesses, appeared in her dreams. 'Mother! I can't see...... I can't see!' 'My eyes...... Something's wrong with my eyes! Call a physician immediately!' 'I can't live like this! Why is this happening to me...... Oh God. Please have mercy.' 'Waaaah! Something's wrong! I can't see anything.' Unlike Yerena…

Waiting calls forth longing. And longing brings tenderness and anxiety, causing the heart to ripple unnecessarily. The beginning might have been to hear news of her homeland, but strangely, the human heart prioritizes emotions over purpose. Add to that the mild scent of spring blooming as the cold weather subsides, and soon all that remains is the sound of awaited footsteps. "Jane. What time is it?" The princess who was dragged to the empire was also human, unable to escape the chain ordained by…

"......Won't you get lost?" "No, I was trying to give you a massage......" A week after Lysith passed out on the bed, leaving the four men behind.

And among those passives, the one that had helped her the most was the 'Strong Waist' passive, so now that it was gone, Lysith's condition…-

It began with misfortune. Truly, it could only be expressed as a sentence saying that he was not lucky. The probability that he, a commoner orphan with nothing to his name, would have talent in magic, the probability that the first moment he used magic would be on the street rather than in his temporary shelter, and the probability that a greedy noble would be on that street at that exact time. The convergence of all these moments was nothing short of terrible misfortune. Though the empire had…

The sound of rain pounded against the window. Rain pouring down like madness, dark clouds dominating the sky, thunder and lightning flashing in the distance, showing off their presence...... And a carriage that didn't return. "Young master." Despite the butler's call, the eight-year-old boy remained motionless. Standing stiffly in front of a first-floor window, he stared fixedly at the mansion's gate. It was already five hours past the time they were supposed to return. Of course, it was…

His childhood memories were hazy. He only knew that back then, he had been closer and more intimate with his parents. Even that relationship probably wasn't like a typical parent-child relationship. He was raised not by his always-busy father and mother, but by a nanny. He always slept alone, and couldn't even imagine sleeping with someone else. He was the only prince of the current imperial family. On top of that, he was quite bright, receiving many expectations from those around him since…

The child's earliest memory was at five years old, of parents who looked at him with aversion. And along with that gaze came the memory of a conversation between two people who hadn't noticed him returning from playing in the garden. "At first, I thought I was going crazy!" "Calm down, madam. It's a bit better now, isn't it?" "That's beside the point! I carried it in my womb for ten months, it's my child that I gave birth to, how could......" What had he thought when he heard that…
