"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…

"...No way." That was the single phrase that came out of Johann's mouth after a long silence. And during that time, I saw countless changes in his expression. From his wildly shaking pupils to his furrowed brow as if he was imagining something, and finally to his eyes hardening stubbornly as if he absolutely couldn't accept it. "That can't be possible." "I'm just telling you the facts as they are." As I said this, I took a bite of the bread I hadn't been able to eat earlier. "How can you…

My eyes wavered in confusion. Take my place...? At first, I had wished for it, then after returning, I feared being replaced, but at the moment I resolved to die, I had accepted it... Aveline filling my position. Hearing those words directly from Aveline's mouth, in her voice, gave me a strange feeling. However, it was far from fear. "There's nothing wrong with that." I'm not sure if the question was directed at me, but I answered, pushing Johann and Claude aside. I remembered how the two…

"Aaah." I stretched as I greeted the morning. As I poked my face out of the sleeping bag, the cold air wrapped around my skin. The chilly air biting into my bronchi should have given me a cold, but I had grown stronger. Now I didn't even get sick from such things. "When I went on my first dispatch, I caught a cold on the way." I'm not sure how many years ago that was already. About three and a half years, maybe. I remembered Claude warming me up with his own body temperature back then.…

"What? Other people?" Having returned to his tent, Johann paced back and forth in the same spot, not knowing how to control the anger rising to the top of his head. He had prided himself on experiencing all sorts of shitty things in life, but what should he do in this situation! To think that the woman he likes would cherish and carry around gifts from other men! Damn Claude. Fucking Mihail. Why did they have to give such useless things. If he had known, he would have broken the hands…

The place we arrived at while walking arm in arm with Johann was none other than my tent. Though calling it a tent is generous, it was just a slightly larger canvas shelter. I hadn't particularly intended to come here, but somehow we ended up here. Well. When I woke up in Johann's tent after three days of unconsciousness, I vaguely thought the next step would be withdrawing from the Grodes Mountains. So from the moment I left Johann's tent, I probably planned to go to my tent after finding…

I was surprised by my own words. To speak to Johann in such a whining manner in front of so many watching eyes. Especially to the knights who live and die by their superiors' orders, it must have looked like I committed a terrible act. After all, I had directly opposed the imperial order, and a military withdrawal order at that. "He's coming soon anyway..." I added unnecessarily while glancing at Johann's expression. It was fierce. His expression was not good at all. I couldn't say…

As I regained my senses somewhat, I felt the need to recover my body first. I asked Johann. "Your Majesty, some water please." Johann looked at me with a face full of things to say, then quietly got up. Seeing an emperor move without a word, I felt awkward and added. "I don't have any strength in my body, so I can't move at all." "I'm sure." Johann easily agreed, picking up a water container placed on one side of the tent. Then, approaching me again, he deliberately brought the container…

Divine purifier. A special being with the ability to heal along with purification. However, healing comes at the cost of one's own life force. And the wand was a tool that helped the divine purifier heal by absorbing the life force flowing in nature instead of their own life force. "...My sister was a great mage called the wisdom of Charbon, a great mage... She wasn't meant to be wasted, trapped by such a wand, no..." I looked at Cardiff, who was glaring at the wand as if he wanted to kill it,…
