On an unusually chilly autumn morning, Elia began her daily routine as usual. Seeing the courtiers had cleared all the fallen leaves from the garden, leaving only bare branches, made her truly feel winter was coming. "My lady, a letter has arrived." Hannah wore a cautious expression as she approached Elia, who had just finished her morning grooming. Since Rockfort, who was in the Imperial Palace, wouldn't have sent a letter, Elia's expression also darkened. "Give it to me." "Yes." Elia…-

With the emperor returning after several months, his workload was beyond description. "According to Your Majesty's command, the victory ceremony will be held tomorrow in a simplified form." "Though simplified, there must be no lack of respect for the knights and those who distinguished themselves." "I will keep that in mind." The Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs bowed their heads before Rockfort. "While we restrain extravagance in victory ceremonies and imperial rituals,…

"Rosé Mora, do you swear to belong to the palace knights with unwavering loyalty to the Empire?" Rosé quietly looked down at the sunlight that shone from the window to her feet, then slowly raised her head. In her eyes reflected Ariel, holding a sword engraved with the imperial seal in both hands. "Yes, I swear." She straightened her bent knee. Now Ariel turned his eyes to where each knight commander stood. "I ask each knight order: Will you recognize Rosé Mora as a member of the Imperial…-

"What did you just say?" Julia, who was cutting roasted pumpkin into bite-sized pieces, looked at Emmett with an awkward smile. He spoke in a clear voice to prevent her from asking again. "I said I want to break off our engagement." The fork that had been precariously perched on the edge of the table fell to the floor at that moment. No one tried to pick it up. Julia took a deep breath. But her trembling hands couldn't hide her anxious feelings. "What's the reason?" From his untouched…

It was too vivid a scene to be a nightmare. Parchments burning in braziers, maids cutting their hair and changing into rags, nannies throwing children out windows in bags with blankets. Lian, who woke up and came out to the corridor, couldn't understand what he was seeing. Slightly larger than the pillow he was holding, he wandered the corridor looking for Mom and Dad. But no matter how loudly he called, they didn't appear. Around the time only wind sounds escaped from his hoarse throat, someone…

— You’re Lian Mora. Right? — Can I really go back? — Let go! I said let go! You fraud! In a dream where human figures appeared blurry, Rosé listened to voices ringing loudly. The voices, filled with anger and resentment, attacked someone. Opposite the voice stood a man who looked pitiful. Unlike the angry voice, he countered with words that sounded miserable. — If I let go, will you leave me? The voice didn't answer. Perhaps sensing the hesitation within, he approached…

"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Blue Rock. The coachman carefully addressed his passenger who kept her head down while heading toward that uncommon destination. She clutched an old cloth bag like a treasure, looking so pale as if someone had stolen her money. "I know life is hard, but don't skip meals. Hunger makes everything more miserable." Passengers heading to Blue Rock belonged to only two categories. Either the daughter of that house, or debt collectors threatening that daughter to pay…

The knights looked at Marian with terrified expressions. With a cold and composed demeanor, Marian flicked her finger. The tightly shut door swung open effortlessly under the force of her magic, leaving Cobalto's knights utterly demoralized. They glanced around briefly before fleeing. "Let's go in." Marian, speaking calmly, was the first to pass through the door. Unlike Drake Castle with its serene and restrained beauty, this entire house was filled with gold ornaments. "This is my first…-

Marian also learned that Marquis Katra had arrived in the capital and left the Empress's palace with an unpleasant expression. "What was Marquis Katra like when you met him?" "He was someone who would do anything for profit. In contrast, he could be harsh to those who weren't beneficial to him." Liebe answered after thinking carefully. That's why she had to take care of Marquis Katra when meeting with the blacksmith and giving him gifts. "He's generous to those who favor him, but that has its…

The night that seemed eternal finally faded. Though he was the champion of the gladiatorial tournament, Abel couldn't stay in the imperial city. He had no choice but to leave the palace with the townhouse key the Emperor had given him. "So he hands me this and kicks me out." Abel shook the key in his hand with an incredulous expression. The people from Giverny waiting outside burst into laughter. "News of today's events will have reached the North by now. Drake's loyal followers have already…
