"You dog!" Thump, with the sound of a servant's head cracking, the floor turned red. Wiping the blood splattered on his cheek roughly with the back of his hand, Rihast breathed heavily. Another servant, noticing that the wildly raging man had entered a lull, quickly grabbed the unconscious servant's legs and dragged him outside. The head must have cracked properly as a sticky red line formed on the floor. Editon thought he had become accustomed to the First Prince's violence, but he easily…-

Bang bang bang. "Come out!" Morning began with the sound of knocking on the door, just like every other day. Mel rubbed her eyes that wouldn't open properly as she got up. Her eyelids felt heavy. "Why are you dawdling like this! Come out now!" "Yes!" Mel answered energetically and then looked at her mother who hadn't yet awakened from sleep. Since being sold to this place, her mother had suffered from inexplicable anxiety. Recently, her mother discovered that Mel was secretly meeting a…

It was quite entertaining to watch the evolution of the booby traps.' When Tatiana heard their reactions from Sir Samson, she was indignant. Those weren't set up for their entertainment! Did they expect her to freeze to death outside in this weather? However, Tatiana soon devised a way to appease their disappointment.…-

Tatiana secluded herself for a while. She extremely avoided external activities and didn't leave her room except to bathe. Some days she would stare blankly out the window and even shed tears. When someone you know passes away, it's an entirely ordinary reaction that anyone might have. But Tatiana thought she was truly a strange person. At this rate, perhaps her humanity had been destroyed. Because even while shedding occasional tears, she worried about muscle loss. She wanted to defend herself…

"Where's Ivy?" As Kaien rushed in, Love, who was in the kitchen, hurriedly came out to the reception room. "Y-Your Grace?" "Is Ivy on the second floor?" He knew the location of her room, having often watched from outside until her light went out before leaving. As Kaien ran up to the second floor, Love frantically shouted. "Miss has gone out! She went to the Magi dessert café to buy cake!" Kaien paused briefly halfway up the stairs, and when he sensed no presence on the second floor,…-

"My father is a kind and diligent person, but the sudden influx of a large sum of money became the root of the problem." "What happened?" I quietly asked, already knowing the circumstances, to make Rebecca comfortable with sharing. Rebecca sighed lightly and showed an awkward smile, but it didn't last long. "My father fell into gambling and accumulated debts he couldn't repay...... He even borrowed money using my name. Not as Swan, but as Hemington." Swan was Rebecca's surname when she lived…

Before the priests could find another way to counterattack, Kaien wrapped things up neatly. "In recognition of the temple's achievement in finding a method to identify the curse, the Blemer grand ducal family will donate one hundred thousand gold coins annually for ten years!" "This can't be! This can't be happening!" "High Priest, what do you think of Priest Homer, who doesn't believe me despite my passing the temple's own verification method?" The outcome had already been decided. At High…

Kaien tensed his cheeks to maintain his smile. He didn't want to give the temple, which had deliberately arranged this gathering, even the slightest excuse. "The Black Dragon's remains?" "Yes, Your Grace." "Explain. How will you confirm with that?" "We've managed the remains separately, believing them ominous because they vibrate when in contact. Recent research has revealed this phenomenon is actually the resonance of magical power remaining in the Black Dragon's remains." Homer stepped…

"Is that all?" "You're lying. You enjoyed it when I touched you." When I touched its head again with my finger, the curse trembled with pleasure. "Do you only feel satiation when you eat holy power? You don't get stronger and torment Kaien more?" When I gently rubbed the inside of its small wings with my finger, it lay down completely on my palm. Its toes twitched. "Promise you won't torment Kaien. Then I'll give you the dagger as you wish." When I withdrew my hand, the curse,…

A strong smell of alcohol greeted me as soon as I entered the study. Three bottles without caps sat on the table, and Kaien was asleep on the sofa. 'And yet he struggles so much with receiving the purification ritual.' I bit my lip and approached him, seeing his disheveled appearance for the first time. He didn't wake up despite someone coming near him, drunk as he was. As I rested my chin on my hand and looked at him, I couldn't help but smile at his handsome face. His sharp,…
