The Altre Mountains began to appear after riding the carriage for about 8 hours from the capital, Belita. Just a month ago, a crack had appeared and been dealt with near the western part of the mountain range. Fortunately, since it was in one of the western front areas, there were no casualties. As the carriage stopped, Aris gathered her heavy luggage and got off. The bleak and chilly air touched her skin. Thinking that this was once a war-torn area made her feel a bit eerie. 'To prevent that…-

After reading the letter, Aris looked into the envelope she had placed on the side table. Inside was a piece of jewelry she hadn't noticed because it was so small. It was a necklace with a small, round green gemstone. Aris was putting it around her neck with gratitude when she suddenly fell into doubt again. 'Wait. It really seems like the letter I sent yesterday reached Mr. E...' Could the exchange of letters be this fast? Moreover, the time she mailed the letter wasn't even yesterday morning,…

Kalaian faced Aris with a perplexed expression. It was an expression she had never seen on him before, which made her feel strange as well. "Miss Aristena... What brings you here?" Aris spoke calmly, "As a scholar of the Magic Research Department, I've come to seek permission for an investigation." She handed him the file she had brought. Kalaian cleared his throat briefly, then pulled his chair back into place, sat down properly, and checked the file. During this time, Aris secretly glanced…

"What?" Kalaian's face hardened instantly. Mishuan tilted his head. "Wasn't that in the letter? She collapsed today, and I helped her." "...There was nothing like that, but she's been tired lately due to her weak constitution." "It seems she didn't write about that to avoid worrying you." "......" He looked taken aback and then fell silent as if lost in thought. After a long while, Kalaian muttered with a pained expression. "It seems I'm always just tormenting…

"But we haven't introduced ourselves properly. I can't just receive kindness without giving something in return. Please tell me your name." Aris knew his name, but she asked anyway. He didn't know her name, and she also had a strong desire to become friends with Mishuan who had shown her kindness. At this, he gave a light-hearted smile and shrugged. "I already know your name." "You know my name?" "You were almost my new stepmother, weren't you? Even though you look younger than me." Aris…

After clearing the reception table, she sat at her desk and was about to start work when she sighed. 'I feel dizzy...' Her head had been throbbing a bit since earlier, and it seemed to have gotten worse after facing Serena. Thinking it might be due to lack of sleep, she tried to close her eyes for a bit, but sleep wouldn't come easily. It seemed that overworking herself lately and stress were the problem. 'My constitution really is my enemy...' No matter how outstanding her magical talent…

"I was bored just waiting for Miss Eldeiz, so I made some tea first. You're not going to scold me for using a bit of tea leaves in the research room, are you?" "......" Serena narrowed her eyes lazily and turned the teacup around. "Hmm... But this teacup looks a bit cheap and tacky. Throw it away. I'll buy you a prettier and more luxurious one next time. It's fortunate that it's me, it would be embarrassing to serve guests with something like this, right?" She smiled, curving her eyes, and set…

"Are... are you sure you removed it completely...?" At Aris's terrified question, Kalaian bit his lower lip slightly as if trying to hold back laughter. He carefully tidied Aris's side hair and was about to pull away. The smile on his lips hardened. "Your cheek..." "Yes?" "...It's nothing. I have been giving you a lot of work lately. I'll let this one slide as a special case." Aris, who had been anxious the whole time, brightened up. "Thank you...!" "You should go back inside now. I…

He seemed about to say something, but then slightly avoided Aris's gaze and said, "Well, I look forward to your research. I should be going now." "Yes. Take care on your way back." "I will, Miss Aristena." At the soft address, Aris opened her eyes wide. Kalaian slightly pulled up the corners of his mouth to show a smile and left the research room. Aris stared blankly at the door of the research room he had left. She knew that now that the imperial palace was her workplace, there wouldn't be…

"...In case you haven't heard, I should mention that I'm not originally a scholar who researches demonic beasts. So there's probably a high chance that I won't meet Your Highness's expectations..." Aris fidgeted with her hands as she spoke the truth as it was. She kept hesitating, feeling like she was showing her weakness to him. After all, he was someone who could point out her flaws at any time. "I'm well aware of Lady Eldeiz's field. I've even read the book you authored." "What? You've read…
