* * * From the day after the victory banquet ended, the front gate of the Vicheravali mansion was crowded with nobles' carriages. While they had previously expressed their sincerity only through gifts, now they were personally stepping forward to establish close ties with Duke Vicheravali. In fact, they had been waiting and waiting for Duke Vicheravali's return all along. His return not only signaled the end of the long war but also meant that exchanges with the tightly closed Vicheravali were now…-

So isn't it like declaring to everyone that he likes 'Reibella Vicheravali'......? Realizing this fact, Reibella's face went from a light pink to as red as a ripe apple. Startled, Reibella immediately covered her face with both hands, but the heat that had risen wouldn't easily subside. Watching this, Cassius let out a small sigh. "Grand Duke." "Yes, Duke." "Please take my daughter to the terrace for a moment. You must come out right after the first song ends." At his suggestion, Calyx…

"A lady's first dance is traditionally with her father." It was Cassius. "I heard you didn't dance at the Spring Banquet?" "Yes, Dad." "Then today is like your debutante ball." Reibella nodded firmly at his words, accompanied by a warm smile. She had missed having her family at the Spring Banquet, so it was nice to be able to enjoy this banquet together this time. While she was briefly bickering with the three men, the emperor and princess entered the banquet hall. With each step they…

It was a somewhat sudden visit from the princess. Fortunately, however, the knight recognized the princess's face, and news of her visit was immediately conveyed to Royan, who had returned to his room to wash up. "Her Highness has come to visit?" "Yes, Young Master." Royan's face hardened at the butler's words, and he let out a small sigh. He had told Reibella that he came directly instead of going to the imperial palace because he wanted to see her quickly, but in fact, he had one more…

* * * That night, a banquet was held at the Vicheravali mansion for the master of Vicheravali and the Silver Wolf who had returned after 10 years. Although most of the Silver Wolf had returned to the territory and only some had come to the capital, their number was still considerable. Thanks to this, the main hall and various places throughout the mansion were filled with people drinking, dancing, and celebrating. Some wept with joy at reunions after a long time, while others silently embraced…

Reibella escaped from his embrace and stared at Royan with a bewildered face. Shouldn't he be at the border right now? Noticing the question in Reibella's eyes, he laughed in a low voice. Then he smoothed Reibella's disheveled hair. His touch was extremely affectionate. "I came quickly because I missed our Rel." "......Is it really you, Royan?" He nodded with a big smile. Only then did Reibella clearly see his appearance. When he was young, he was just pretty like a girl, but Royan…

Reibella was a child with the blood of spirits. Since she contained the power of nature, it was understandable that a dragon might feel comfortable around her, but it was suspicious that a dragon would follow her even outside its lair. There must have been a reason why he was drawn to her. "......Is it because of me?" Because he sensed the bloodline of his kind in Reibella's energy. "Kyuu." Leon, seemingly unwilling to admit it, answered with a face full of discontent. His answer was…

Calyx's response to Reibella's proposal was calm. It was as if he had anticipated it. Because of this, it was Reibella who was surprised instead. "Did you expect me to say something like this?" "I thought...... maybe." Reibella recalled their street date that had ended somewhat bitterly. Feeling the disconnect between how people were portrayed in the novel and how they were in reality, Reibella realized once again how twisted this world was. And looking at them, she thought of Felicity's…

After hearing Calyx's words, Reibella saw people gathered, placing something wrapped in white cloth into a large blazing bonfire. It was several corpses. It seemed they were holding a funeral for multiple deceased who had died around the same time. Reibella, who had been quietly observing them, murmured softly. "People dying is a common occurrence......" Because it's something everyone experiences. Even in this moment of watching someone's death, all the living are moving toward death for…

A woman sitting in front of a vanity with an ornate frame unfolded a freshly delivered newspaper with her fair, delicate fingertips. The first headline that caught her eye was about a certain mercenary who had been causing a stir in the Empire for several years. The long story filling an entire page of the newspaper detailed his recent exploits. It was a truly remarkable achievement, perfectly subduing the enemy despite being outnumbered more than threefold. The woman, deeply absorbed in the…
