"Cardiff Corsace is dead." Johann said in a subdued voice. He'll admit it honestly. In the depths of the Grodes Mountains, where fierce battles were raging, in that place where hope seemed lost, when Seraphina disappeared with an enormous light, Johann felt as if all the blood in his body had turned cold. He learned painfully that day that a person can go mad when they lose something too precious. But that didn't mean he could just stand by and watch Seraphina's lifespan decrease. Considering…-

In the end, I was cooped up in the room for the entire week. That meant I couldn't attend the banquet even for a single day. Falling asleep during the day and waking up at night, then falling asleep at night and waking up during the day… On the first day, there were only sheer curtains, but Johann had put up thick curtains over them at some point, completely blurring my sense of time. "How can you be this soft?" Johann murmured in a gentle voice while caressing my body. Lying on my…

The lazy afternoon sunlight flowed in through the window bars. What time could it be? Having lost my accurate sense of time, I blinked my eyelids drowsily. How long has it been since I slept in like this? It felt like I had a deep sleep without even dreaming for the first time in a while. Maybe that's why. The reason I'm seeing an unfamiliar ceiling is… "Gasp!" What does oversleeping have to do with an unfamiliar ceiling! This is just because I spent the first night in a new room,…

Spring had come. Fresh green sprouts dyed the whole world in a refreshing light, and colorful flowers each opened their buds. The earth was full of new life. And fitting this season, there was a joyous occasion in the Granz Empire. Elmon was rippling with waves of celebration day and night. The entire empire celebrated the Emperor's imperial marriage. They rejoiced in preparation to welcome the new Empress. "I'm so nervous I could die." And I was putting on my dress with the help of Faye…

After returning from a rare outing, I was spending some quiet time. My heart felt unsettled as I stared blankly at the night sky. "I was the only one who didn't know." I wonder when Johann started liking me? According to Marc, it had been at least 3 years. He added that he couldn't forget the sight of Johann holding a knife to his neck. What was it he said? That it was the look of a man burning with jealousy. "Hmm." I blinked my eyes a few times, cupping my cheeks with both…

"What?" Johann frowned and asked again. Pushing aside the pile of documents, he wrinkled one eye as if displeased. "Seraphina is going out?" "Yes, is there a problem?" Jesuf answered, scratching the back of his head. A little while ago, Seraphina had come to find Jesuf at the training grounds. Her attire looked exactly like she was going out, so Jesuf could easily guess why she had come to him. It seemed she was being cautious on her own, as she was about to become empress soon. He…

After watching Seraphina fall asleep, Johann got up and was aimlessly walking in the night garden. Although he was handling a busy schedule no less than hers, the fact that he could afford this leisure was probably because he was physically superior. He was also used to this level of schedule originally. "Haa." As he exhaled, a white breath appeared and dispersed. It was still cold winter. "Why is spring taking so long to come?" Johann mumbled to himself like a sigh. In his hand, as he…

Splash. Leaning against the bathtub filled with warm water, I entrusted myself to Faye's hands. In other words, I was receiving bath assistance. "You won't be staying here much longer. You'll be moving to Felice Palace soon." Faye said while lathering soap on my back. "And it won't be long before I stop calling you Miss Seraphina." "Haha, that's true." I laughed awkwardly. I had just gotten used to showing my naked body to a maid, or rather, I was just pretending to be used to it... I…

"Have you been waiting long?" Ionia bowed deeply in greeting. Surprised by her textbook-like action, I hurriedly stood up from my seat and bowed back. A little deeper than she had bowed to me. Why is she suddenly being so formal with me! As soon as I was gripped by bewilderment, Ionia revealed the reason for her behavior in a businesslike tone. "Please don't be overly polite to me." "Yes?" "From now on, you'll need to get used to treating people as your subordinates." "Yes?" ...I…

Our relationship was becoming more intimate. I was overcome by the feeling that the distance between Johann and me was closing by one layer. Not the physical distance, but the distance in our hearts. The air was gently rippling. A gaze that could melt you just by looking at it. Hot breath tickling my cheek. The boundary of who was giving these sensations to whom was blurred. "...How can I suddenly call you by name?" "You've done it occasionally before." Johann replied with a slightly…
