"How could this happen...?" Kiel murmured with a worried voice as he walked along the corridor. In his hand was the newspaper that had arrived that morning. It was the latest news in the Hilton territory, but judging by the date on the newspaper, it seemed to be news that had already been causing a stir elsewhere for a month. Having reached the Duke's office, he paused in front of the door and took a deep breath. Wondering how His Grace would react upon seeing it... The mere thought sent…-

The eyes of the two men locked in the air, creating a tension so palpable that if someone were watching, they might have said they saw sparks flying in the transparent space between them. Mihail twisted his lips into a smirk, as if finding the situation amusing. He thought that anyone who could control an information guild spread like a spider's web across the continent couldn't be ordinary. But to have such nerve? This guy is something else. Mihail chuckled to himself. "So, I have a…

After hearing the detailed story, Mihail instructed Andrei to leave. Alone in the room, he slowly stroked his chin as if organizing his thoughts. "So number 47 took the last one..." Remembering that number was commendable. Having confirmed through Andrei that the article in the newspaper was true, Mihail let out a series of dry laughs, feeling twisted inside. It was infuriating enough to have auction items snatched away, but the likely candidate who won the bid was Seraphina, and she had…

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in a short time. Should she tell Nix the truth about this world? Should she tell him that this place is inside a novel? But wouldn't there be a reason why Vanessa, who had known him longer, hadn't said anything? Come to think of it, he was the mastermind in the novel. The ceaseless flow of thoughts stopped at that point. The mastermind in the novel. 'I won't tell him.' Iella's mind hardened instantly. Unlike her, he was a character appearing in…-

Several more days passed. Iella spent quite peaceful days during that time. Almost boringly so. 'I wonder if he found Ailexia.' Nix, who had said he would come within a few days, was still nowhere to be seen. She guessed that he might have immediately started tracking with the brief information she had sent. If the information had been insufficient, he should have contacted her with additional questions. Anyway, there wasn't much to do while waiting for news from Nix. It was especially so because…

Iella returned to Ailexia's body after spending three more days at the old woman's house. Fortunately, she had already finished sending a message home the next day. Thanks to this, unlike at the previous inn, Iella accepted the change with a somewhat more comfortable mind. She wasn't greatly surprised like before. Rather, she seemed quite excited at the thought of returning quickly to share Ailexia's whereabouts. After all, there wasn't much time left until she returned to her original body for…

"I'm asking why you ate it all the way to the end when you knew it contained peanuts." Ailexia's expression visibly hardened. However, she quickly changed her furrowed expression. She now fully understood the current situation. 'That old woman said it. When shocked, the soul gets ejected.' Ha, damn it. A curse erupted from within. She had thought it would be fine since it wasn't even acknowledged in the secondary palace, but she never expected the woman occupying her body would stupidly eat…

"What's the reason a soul that has returned to its original body goes back again? Is it because the sorcery hasn't been broken yet?" "You understand well. However, for a soul to forcibly move again, the body it's returning to must be empty. If one side hasn't regained consciousness and has collapsed, the soul can't escape. So both sides need to be conscious." "Then, will I go back immediately when Ailexia regains consciousness? And until then, can I remain in this state?" The old woman who had…

Given Ailexia's personality, she probably wouldn't have directly asked for help. But if she had revealed her entire situation, she must have obtained information worthy of that disclosure. Otherwise, there would have been no reason to explain what had happened to her in such detail. She would have just left. 'But if she got the information, why didn't she go straight to the sorceress village?' She would have headed into the forest once she determined her body was fit enough, and after securing food…

'If you return again? The original owner of the body?' Iella froze completely. She showed no reaction—neither extreme surprise nor composure. In her petrified mind, the old woman's words repeated slowly. Meanwhile, the woman who had uttered those words calmly scooped her portion of stew and sat across from her. "Eat quickly. Before, the Miss wouldn't even touch food like this, which was quite troublesome at first." The old woman asked while taking a spoonful of stew. Though her tone was…
