Hailey inhaled the wildflower scent from the pouch Margaret had given her and realized. 'It's not actually a smell. It's something only I can sense.' When she put her nose to the pouch, the wildflower scent filled her nostrils, but that terrible stench continued to reach her from somewhere else. Hailey pretended nothing was wrong and endured it forcefully. The interior of the Mort Faith temple didn't appear much different from temples of other religions. The large interior was dominated by…

* * * Although Hailey thought she had been freed from seasickness, she had to suffer from unexplainable headaches and dizziness since disembarking at the port of Vasa. 'The smell......' 'Smell? What smell?' 'It's nothing. I'm fine. I must be dizzy from lack of sleep.' As soon as they arrived at the port of Vasa, Hailey caught a strange smell that she couldn't explain in words. However, it seemed that Hailey was the only one who felt this way. Despite her reaction, no one else seemed to…

"I want to see and confirm for myself. Whether he's really Theo's biological father or not. Since I know every single detail about Theo down to his baby hair, I'm sure I'll be able to tell when I see him." "......" "And above all...... there might come a day when Theo becomes curious about his identity." "Regardless of who Theo's biological father is, Theo is a Winchester, and our duty to protect him won't change. You don't need to take that risk." The Grand Duke of Winchester had no idea that…

Hailey held the teacup with both hands while focusing on Dora's story. "Aster thought the Emperor was the source of all calamity. He argued that they should eliminate the seed of calamity and that God should directly rule the human world to create God's kingdom on earth as well. But Ayla thought differently." The two witnessed human despair and suffering, greed and cruelty together. Aster argued for direct intervention, judging that humans ultimately had no answer. "She strongly opposed Aster's…

Axel was so thorough that he refused to leave Hailey's side even for a moment. Hailey could imagine how much he must have pressured Archmage Charlie and Archmage Margaret before coming here. "I apologize, but the queen has requested to receive only the young lady." The queen's lady-in-waiting blocked Archmage Margaret who was following behind Hailey. 'Did having tea time together really mean just the two of us?' Hailey had thought nothing serious could happen during a tea time, but when she…

This was possible now because there were many people around Theo whom Hailey could trust with peace of mind, like Roto, Khalid, and the Eligos Knight Order. Both of them had been running non-stop until the last day of the festival. When the festival ended and day broke, mountains of tasks awaited them for the new year. Axel wasn't foolish enough not to know that this moment was his only chance to have time alone with Hailey. That's why he had arranged with Khalid early on to distract Theo, who…

'My chest feels strange.' It was a different feeling from when he embraced Hailey. Unlike holding Hailey, it felt somewhat tingly. Axel hadn't yet realized what this ticklish, tingling sensation in the corner of his heart was, but he wanted to protect this small warmth of the child. Dora, who had been watching Axel talking with Hailey while holding Theo, said with satisfaction, "Young master seems more comfortable holding the little young master than before." "Right. You've become much…

Theo wanted to know specifically how Hailey had been sick and how she recovered. A few days before Hailey left, Theo had received a warning from his fairy friend in the forest: 'She will leave soon and be in danger.' So he had planned to follow her to protect her if he couldn't prevent her from going, but he accidentally fell asleep. As Theo expressed his disappointment, both Roto's shoulders and the corners of his eyes drooped simultaneously. Theo quickly noticed Roto's reaction and stretched out…

No one else could make her feel so flustered. As if she had returned to thirty years ago in front of her father, she deliberately turned her gaze away in embarrassment. As she did so, things that seemed out of place for the Grand Duke caught her eye throughout the reception room. A child's crooked drawing using plenty of crayons in an antique frame, toys for small children tucked in a corner. A smile naturally formed on the queen's lips. She wondered how much happiness that child must bring to…

'It would be nice if Fairy could see this too. Fairy can't come to the festival.' '......Hmm. Young master! I have a good idea, would you like to hear it?' The fairy-shaped snow sculpture "Secret" was an idea Roto suggested for Theo, who worried that his fairy friend couldn't attend the festival. It was Roto's intention to comfort Theo by placing a snow statue of the fairy friend who couldn't come together with them in the grand ducal castle garden. Among the adults, Theo and Roto looked at…
