    • Chapter 36 Cover
      by ianthe Outside Kelston. The knight commander, who had been watching the town entrance from afar with a frown, exhaled a small sigh as if anxious. The day was gradually dawning. The townscape that had been hidden in darkness was also slowly revealed, but no matter how much he looked, there was no sign of his master. His subordinates also showed signs of unease. Their faces reflected a mixture of fear of the undead, worry for their master, and the burden of potential crisis. "What will you…
    • Chapter 35 Cover
      by ianthe His voice was so resolute despite whispering that I stopped rummaging. '...I want to see too.' But Arkle pulled me deeper into his embrace. With my face buried against his firm chest, I could only understand the situation through Arkle's and the knights' voices. "Maintain formation. The lady's protection is priority—" I heard the sound of knights moving swiftly. After that, silence flowed without anyone speaking, which suggested they were in a standoff. "......" "......" I…
    • Epilogue Cover
      by ianthe Michael straightened his back as he wiped the sweat flowing over his forehead. A cool breeze blew at just the right moment, bringing the now deeper scent of lisianthus to his nostrils after several seasons had passed. This spring, having come of age, he graduated from knight school with excellent grades and proudly passed the Imperial Knight Order's examination. He had obtained some vacation time before joining and intended to spend it with his sister after a long while. But what do you know, from the…
    • III. The Season When Lisianthus Blooms Cover
      by ianthe The warm southern territory was always surrounded by quiet, peaceful air. The pages of seasons turned slowly too. After the long summer, when one might start growing tired of the brilliance of sunlight filtering through green leaves and the freshness of the atmosphere, delicate colors would begin seeping in from the edge of the forest. Then, at some point, when it was fully colored in late autumn, the beautiful white castle would also be imbued with the gentle autumn hues, like the maple forest surrounding…
    • II. The Most Special Relationship Cover
      by ianthe It was a perfect day with pleasant early summer sunshine at its peak. A clear sky suffused with pure light, and even the breeze felt warm on this June day. The Brishell Temple, made of white walls and pillars, was not far from the castle. Its largest chapel had been beautifully decorated with purple and pink flowers as a wedding venue for today. Florencia, in a pure white bell-line wedding dress, stood at the bride's door holding a hydrangea bouquet with delicate lace ribbons. The voluminous tulle skirt…
    • I. A Wedding Just for Two Cover
      by ianthe "I've had the guest house prepared for you and your fiancée to stay comfortably during your visit, Duke Fernandid." "I sincerely thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness the Grand Duke." "Considering the favors I owe you, I should be the one thanking you. I haven't forgotten how you saved my young grandson's life. That infant is already eleven years old this year." Grand Duke Brishell, who maintained a sturdy physique even past fifty, was said to be the brother of the Holy Empire of…
    • Epilogue Cover
      by ianthe The large ship heading to Leila Island cut through the white waves, advancing endlessly. The refreshing breeze carried the cries of seagulls and the salty scent of the sea. Florencia took a deep breath of the sea air, enjoying the dazzling sunlight falling between the tall sails. Though it was her first experience with sea breeze and it should have been cold, it felt refreshing instead. "Aren't you cold?" Someone approached from behind and draped a thick coat over her shoulders—a large men's coat,…
    • X. After Many Days Cover
      by ianthe "My lady, it's time for your departure soon." The head maid approached with her usual respectful attitude to announce the time. That title now felt more familiar than her own name. Florencia nodded and checked her appearance in the mirror one last time. "Will this level of preparation be suitable?" "I like it, thank you." Showing a slight smile to the maid who helped with her preparations, she slowly rose with her heavy body. The silver hair, skillfully tied up with a slightly loose ribbon,…
    • IX. The Price of Sin Cover
      by ianthe The road leading to the Esteban family's villa in the northern region was rather uneven. Though the road was rough with many large and small stones, the marquis's coachman skillfully drove the carriage so that not even a bump could be felt. The seat was also as soft as sitting on a cloud, but Florencia's heart remained uncomfortable. 'How much will Father hate me for breaking my promise and betraying him......' Before leaving, Florencia had written a letter and placed it on Ludwig's bed. So that he…
    • VIII. An Unforgettable Night Cover
      by ianthe "Florencia." "Hello, Cassian......" Florencia, who had been sitting on the tree stump in the garden where they had agreed to meet, only raised her head to look at him after being called several times. "I'm sorry, I was lost in thought and didn't hear you......" Though she tried hard to smile, her violet eyes were filled with deep sorrow. Sometimes she was observed resting her chin on her small hand, gazing into the distance and heaving a deep sigh. She had been in this state for several…
