"Owww...!! Aagh, I'm dying—!" '...What's with this idiot?' The acting was so unnatural and awkward that such a thought crossed her mind. She was about to ignore him and keep walking when the woman next to him suddenly shouted. "Hey you! How dare you try to run away after bumping into someone?! Honey, are you okay?" "Honey... cough, cough." Why was he coughing when he had fallen down? 'Did he break a bone, or is he sickly? Pick one.' Naran, who had been walking ahead, turned around…-

She headed straight to Martha's office. When she handed over the statue along with the news that Raku had successfully neutralized the curse, Martha showed a rare display of joy. She briefly set down the pen that had been continuously writing documents and laughed heartily with satisfaction. "Hahaha, with this, the imperial family is greatly indebted to Cayenne— No one would dare think of messing with Cayenne even in their dreams." Seeing Martha speak her mind without reservation, she felt…

Martha looked at me over her glasses and said. "I was just about to call for you. The emperor has sent the sacred artifact." She said she had exchanged several letters with the emperor. The reason the emperor had been feeling pain every night was because of the Bannaku sacred artifact he had brought back as a trophy, and when she proposed to neutralize the curse if he sent the artifact, the emperor finally agreed. And she added the justification that she learned all these facts thanks to…

I looked at the device I made with proud eyes. 'This should be enough!' I hung a large white blanket on the curtain rod above the bed and placed two chairs in front of it. And beside them, cool drinks brought by the maid and specially prepared snacks were ready. "I popped the corn as you've instructed, Miss Lize... but are you sure it can be eaten like this?" "Open your mouth." I put a piece of popcorn into the skeptical maid's mouth, and after chewing with a peculiar expression, her eyes…

Arkle's white silk shirt gleamed softly in the moonlight. For his lower half, he wore pants that clearly revealed the contours of his legs, and even from a distance, one could tell his lower body was excellently trained. Moreover, his black hair fluttered whenever he moved... everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Perhaps that's why he appeared to be dancing. Thud—!! A dull sound of something falling brought me back to my senses. Looking closely, one of the wooden dummies set…

"Allenheim still believes you were kidnapped." 'Wasn't I actually kidnapped?' The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't voice it and instead listened attentively to Martha. "There's no need to deliberately foster hostility toward House Cayenne. I think it's better to make the announcement before they cause any trouble. What do you think?" "Hmm." I thought for a moment. 'She's definitely right.' At this rate, not only Allenheim but other nobles would develop negative impressions of…

"The beast you brought has opened its eyes," Sylvia reported. I laughed, "Haha, Sylvia. Even so, calling him a beast... though he did act like one." Hearing this, Sylvia's expression grew even colder. She spoke while visibly suppressing her anger. "From what I've heard about his actions, he's no different from a beast. They say he caused a commotion as soon as he woke up. Though he can't use black magic because of the restraints with barriers, he seems quite violent." "Hmm... is that so? I…

Of course, Raku's face turned pale as he obviously hadn't taken out any insurance. "There's no way he could have found this place...!" Watching Raku mutter to himself, I sneered. 'I left a gift for Arkle.' Seeing the video stone hanging around Arkle's neck as he walked out of the dust cloud, it seemed my gift had been properly delivered. 'I dropped the video stone before losing consciousness. With the video playing!' Fortunately, Raku was too focused on running away to notice it.…

"Are you feeling alright?" I silently looked at the passage through which the sorcerer had entered. 'It's not blocked... if I pretend to accidentally make a loud noise.' Just as I was thinking this, he spoke as if he had read my mind. "Screaming won't help. There's a special spell on the entrance of this place. No sound from here can be heard outside." "......" "Are you feeling better? Are you still uncomfortable?" The sorcerer asked, looking up at me. "Excuse me, what do you mean…

It seems my feeling that Arkle's gaze toward Khan was particularly eerie wasn't just a simple concern. "Lize, director... the final scene, I want to see too." "You do? Then let's monitor it." "......" As Khan approached me and lowered his head to see the video stone, I kept feeling a chilling gaze from far away. It was Arkle. "Would the assistant director like to come watch too?" When I asked soothingly, Arkle wordlessly strode over and wedged himself between Khan and…
