Detrian prepared to return to the imperial palace just before the morning sun rose. "Then, I'll see you tonight at our usual training spot. I'll bring the equipment and clothes you'll need to enter Leila's room." I nodded, and Detrian quickly disappeared. The next morning arrived swiftly, and Mylene came to find me with welcome news. "Miss! A letter has arrived!" The letter in Mylene's hand had the words 'Camilla Felicia of the Education Department' written on it. To think that I had…-

The imperial palace I arrived at was still sparkling. But the place where I entered in the carriage was not sparkling. The carriage I was in was heading toward the back of the imperial palace, a place I had never seen before. For a moment, I felt a chill and tried to open the door to ask the driver about our destination, but unfortunately, the carriage was designed so that neither the windows nor the doors could be opened from the inside. After trembling in fear for a while, I was only able to…

The crown prince acknowledged the approaching empress with a nod while remaining seated, and I stood up and bowed. The empress seemed to glance at the crown prince with displeasure, then smiled brightly at me. Why such a pretty smile felt unpleasant was, unfortunately, not just my imagination. "You should have accepted my offer last time." I recalled my previous meeting with the empress at her words. The crown prince also knew what had happened then, having heard it from me, so as soon as he…

Just as the empress, whose hands were trembling as she gripped her dress, was about to say something to the emperor, a nobleman who seemed to be in charge of the banquet proceedings came behind the curtain. "The list of invited nobles has been confirmed. I'm thinking of starting the banquet soon, but......" The emperor glanced at the empress after hearing the man's words and then nodded. The man stepped back outside the curtain, and after a few murmuring sounds, the closed curtain began to open…

The person standing before Leila was someone all women in the Gellions Empire admired. A person who always seemed to shine brightly and live each day meaningfully. And someone who seemed kind to everyone and would treat everyone fairly. But that person now stood before Leila with an extremely angry face. "I clearly told you not to get caught." Leila flinched at the empress's words. "It's certainly praiseworthy that you didn't take action yourself, Lady Leila. But... don't you think you…

Detrian, kneeling on one knee before me, couldn't look me in the eye properly. I was just staring at the sky-blue jewel in his hand. ...Wait a minute. Sky-blue jewel? If I'm thinking of the right sky-blue jewel, it could only be the famous sky diamond that supposedly captured the color of the sky? That's... difficult to obtain and extremely expensive! As I remained silent and just stared at the jewel, Detrian, tired of waiting, carefully raised his head. "...Rowenloa?" I slowly…

Detrian moved toward me, slowly aligning his gaze with mine. Just as his large hand was about to cup my cheek again, I lightly pushed his shoulder to push him away. However, the rebound from his solid body caused me to stagger, and having misplaced my foot, I fell straight down from the tree. Detrian quickly caught me as I fell, barely avoiding a kiss between my head and the ground. Only then did I break free from Detrian's arms and stand facing him. Uncharacteristically, Detrian was looking…

I felt my body sinking downward, followed by the sensation of landing on a soft cushion. When I carefully opened my eyes, Detrian was standing with his hands on his hips, looking down at me. "...Am I dead?" Detrian shook his head with a smile. I let out a sigh of relief. "No, but you barely squinted your eyes falling from that height. How are you going to manage going forward?" "What? What do you mean?" "You said you wanted to fly around freely like me. Then you need to be able to jump…

"It's another invention completed by my friend. With this, you don't need to take the documents out to show their contents to others." Hearing my words, the crown prince could only stare intently at the device containing his image. Then he returned the device to me and shook his head. "Still, no. What if you fall from such a height? Rather, if you tell me what to look for, I could..." Hearing that, I felt annoyed and turned away from him, walking toward the terrace. I leaned against the…

"I'm sorry......" I rejected the young duke's offer. Though he said he had expected this, his expression was bitter. I couldn't help but feel guilty. "Then I'll pick you up by carriage on the morning of the banquet." I nodded at Detrian's words. Detrian then said he had only come out briefly to avoid people's eyes and that he would invite us to the imperial palace for socializing next time, before hurriedly leaving the basement. After Detrian left, I was carefully examining the…
