Cassian caressed Valentine's red scar. His voice was filled with regret. "A scar has marred your beautiful body. Does it still hurt?" "I'm fine now." "Belle..." Valentine's eyes curved at the sound of his voice calling her. Cassian always called Valentine with a melancholic voice. While Valentine loved everything about Cassian, that voice, seemingly filled with his whole heart, felt especially special to her. "Why did you do that?" Their hands clasped tightly together. Then Cassian…-

Cassian Pendragon was a rare beauty with a warm impression. Gentle eyes. Long, well-placed eyelashes. A sharp, prominent nose. Firm lips. Pale golden hair close to silver, and deep blue eyes. He was so exquisitely handsome, like a masterpiece painted by someone, that it was impossible for any human not to be attracted to him. While Blumir was a duchy and thus not a small territory, rumors about the handsome man who came down from the capital spread quickly and widely. People would secretly steal…

The Emperor, Astaire III, was assassinated. "Farewell, Astaire." As Valentine's whisper faded, Astaire's trembling hand brushed against the glass. The powerless glass flew through the air. Crash! The sound of glass fragments shattering and scattering was sharp. "Val… entine......" Astaire muttered, squeezing out his last strength. His desperately outstretched hand rummaged through the glass shards. His bloodied fingertips, scratched by glass pieces, became entangled in the hem of…

"True, the knight order led by His Highness will protect Belvaiden. I was worried for nothing, right?" "Yes." Without bothering to correct her, Aris nodded in agreement. "By the way, I'm concerned about His Majesty being unwell." "Huh?" Aris tilted her head at Belle's muttered words. Belle's eyes widened at her reaction. "You... don't tell me you don't know?" "Know what?" "It was reported recently. Have you been in your lab all day and missed even that news?" Aris nodded slightly…-

If things went wrong, she could be arrested for blasphemy. 'What should I do... Think. There must be a good solution, Aristena.' Hoping fresh air might bring inspiration, Aris went outside. The breeze seemed to help clear her mind. 'Oh, there's a greenhouse here.' She spotted a greenhouse near East Wing 2. Curious, she went inside. The greenhouse was very large and full of lush plants. There were delicate flowers planted in coordinated colors, as well as trees so tall she had to crane her…

"You... you're mocking me now? Do you think you can be forgiven after doing something like this?! Don't you know my maternal grandfather is the Minister of Magic?" "Ah yes, that's right." "If I receive such treatment, you won't fare well in the Magic Department either... I'll make sure of it!" As Serena shouted furiously, Aris ignored her words and rummaged through her bag again. Then she pulled out something else to show. "Thank you for your concern about my wellbeing. But don't worry! I…

Mishuan covered his mouth and shuddered. Both Kalaian and Aris seemed equally cruel to him. Aris just smiled silently. Just then, a strange ringing echoed in her ears. Aris immediately turned her head toward the rift. "A monster has appeared. It seems to be the last one!" Just then, one of the knights said this and stepped back. Mishuan drew his sword and spoke. "Doctor, I'll take care of it. Please follow immediately when the rift starts to disappear." "Yes!" Aris answered energetically.…

The war continued for a full week. Considering the ten-day incubation period, it could have lasted longer, but the rift began dying after releasing a large number of monsters at once. Thanks to Kalaian requesting reinforcements early on, they were able to complete the subjugation safely. When Aris heard that the rift had become quite quiet, she entered the battlefield after layering multiple protection spells. "Doctor, I'm glad you're safe." Mishuan approached her and said with a gloomy face.…

After finishing their satisfying dinner, they each went to sleep. Like yesterday, Aris fell fast asleep leaning on his shoulder, and today Kalaian also closed his eyes, unable to resist her urging. It was around dawn when it happened. Kalaian woke up to the sound of labored breathing coming from somewhere. After being momentarily dazed, he soon realized the source was the small woman leaning on his shoulder. His mind snapped awake as if doused with cold water. "Miss Aristena, are you…

As they made their way through the forest together, Kalaian killed monsters several times. With each encounter, his condition visibly worsened. Aris was bewildered. It must have been about the eighth time he had slaughtered monsters. Kalaian's breathing had become very rough. But he seemed unaware that he was breathing heavily. His pace also gradually quickened. Aris, who was unwell, barely managed to follow him, but when the distance between them seemed to be growing, she finally spoke up. "Um,…
