      50 Cover
      by ianthe "You forgive me so quickly?" But Mia, rising to her feet with Eva's help, widened her eyes as if she couldn't believe Eva's actions. Eva had expected gratitude—thank you for saving me, bowing her head to the point of servility to express her thanks. But Mia, without a single word of gratitude, merely expressed surprise. Eva found Mia's behavior both puzzling and somehow familiar. Where had she seen this before? Had Mia perhaps once come to Florin with her father in search of good…

      49 Cover
      by ianthe Uncertain about how to seduce Divlik and doubting she could show the same appearance as last night while sober, Eva wandered near the east annex, lost in thought. Though she wasn't sure if Mia was trustworthy, she was undoubtedly an excellent herbalist. With such skill, might she be able to control the potency of an aphrodisiac? Eva hesitated whether to ask for help. "Do you have the luxury to stroll around so leisurely?" "You're here, Lord Divlik." There, Eva encountered Divlik, who had come…

      by ianthe The weapon had been too insignificant and not powerful enough, so Divlik's wound wasn't very deep. But Finn was furious to the point of seething. "I should cut off that woman's head and hang it on the city gate right now to feel better!" Finn tried to leave the bedroom as soon as the wound treatment was finished, but Divlik stopped him again. "What reason do you have to stop me this time? This time, I absolutely cannot let this stand!" "Set up a gallows in the square after the…

      by ianthe "I don't understand why I should bestow upon others the mercy that was never once given to me." Within Divlik's sharp, piercing, and frozen words mixed an inexplicable lamentation. Eva couldn't say anything. She couldn't even imagine what kind of life this man had lived—this man with a voice that had lost its original sound, who had declared that she didn't know what death was. Eva could only guess at the strange obsession toward her, the master of the castle which was the final destination of…

      by ianthe "Mia......?" "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. I was envious of your good fortune and unconsciously......" This way of declaring "you are lucky" seemed somehow familiar, giving Eva a chill down her spine. Fortunate? Me? Shouldn't my luck be considered over from the moment I was captured by a conqueror, regardless of how twisted my life had become? "You truly are fortunate, Eva, to have met such a man as your conqueror. He could have taken the women sent as gifts for himself or thrown them to his…

      45 Cover
      by ianthe If he had known he would be curious, he should have asked. In this situation where she didn't even know if her lord was alive or dead, her country belonged to someone else, and her body, which she had tried to protect until the end, was as good as surrendered—in such circumstances, what prayer could have been answered? "Not surprising." "Pardon?" It wasn't a prayer for the emperor, so it wasn't surprising that she had chosen the emperor over her first man. However, when he thought about why such…

      by ianthe Eva tried to greet Divlik normally, pretending to be fine, but she couldn't manage it. "Ahng." The drug's effect was so strong that even the slight vibration from the motion of getting out of bed made her legs give way, and she collapsed to the floor. "Setting aside how unpleasant and disagreeable this is, it wouldn't be right to ignore a lady in this condition." Divlik approached silently, took Eva's hand, and pulled her to her feet. Yet he didn't seem to like Eva's half-glazed eyes, which…
    • 3. Liam de le Blumir [Part 2] – The Path of Blasphemy Cover
      by ianthe The silent night is like a rushing blade. On a night when not even insects could be heard chirping. When the black surroundings were so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of blood flowing through veins, that small noise wrapped in stillness seemed to interfere with breathing. Old memories came uninvited. Taking a deep breath, Cassian swirled his wine glass. The wine swirled chaotically. The deep aged grape and oak scents mixed dizzily. The siblings who had given him everything were now…
    • 3. Liam de le Blumir [Part 1] – Blasphemous Love (2) Cover
      by ianthe The servants lined up to greet their returning master. They stood in a neat, orderly line. The door opened, and the master stepped into the mansion. The servants bowed. "Welcome home." They called out in unison. The butler approached his master. As the servants straightened up, they sensed something strange. The sound of the front door locking was oddly jarring. Then came the sound, Scraaape..... The eerie noise of heavy iron scraping against the red carpet. Their master, a former…
