'Marvin?' There was no mistake. The mage who had been affiliated with Cayenne's magic tower but turned out to be Heinrich's spy. Come to think of it, after arriving at the imperial palace together, Heinrich had knights take him somewhere. 'So he was in a place like this....' Marvin didn't seem to notice me. He was busy waving away the smoke that filled the room. Looking at that smoke, I could tell. 'Something must have exploded here.' The sound I heard earlier must have come from…-

'Complete' humans...? "I need your 'love.'" As I suspected, Heinrich didn't purely want my affection itself. "But what does becoming a complete human mean?" The voice answered calmly. Though not a clear answer, I felt my thoughts becoming somewhat organized. Heinrich's purpose had become a little clearer. 'Could that be why he kept persistently asking about my relationship with Arkle?' When we came to the imperial palace last time, he asked us to prove we were a couple bound by…

She smiled at the boy with her eyes. The boy who had been looking up at her with irritated, narrowed eyes turned his head away sharply. Nevertheless, she continued to look at him with her pure, clear smile. The knight roughly forced the boy to his knees. "I clearly saw this little thief putting his hands on the lord's clothes." He said, looking down at the boy as if he were a bug. "I hear this isn't the first time he's done such a thing. The priests asked me to teach him a proper lesson…

Inside the shrine. I sat weakly leaning my back against the invisible wall blocking the entrance to the stairs. It seemed quite some time had passed since Heinrich left this place. '...Though I can't tell exactly how much time has passed.' Since there were no windows or any devices indicating time, I couldn't even tell if it was day or night. The inability to track the passage of time weighed on me much more heavily than I had expected. 'Has it not even been a day yet? How much longer do…

In the reception room. Quite some time had passed since Lize and Heinrich left. Sylvia quickly turned around at the sound of footsteps behind her. However, the person she waited for was nowhere to be seen. The only one who leisurely walked into the reception room was Prince Heinrich. "Your Highness." Though confused, Sylvia first showed proper respect and then looked behind Heinrich. But no matter how much she looked, Lize didn't seem to be following. 'What on earth....' Sylvia's…

Whoever uses the Chalice of Valera must offer their soul to it. This was a fact that Jeronimo, who used the chalice a hundred years ago, had personally revealed. 'That information wasn't written in the imperial records either. In other words, even the imperial family didn't know. It wasn't common knowledge.' The fact that Heinrich knew this meant... 'There's no need to think twice about it.' He was the final villain, K, who had induced Arkle to use the chalice. 'In the original story,…

Heinrich looked at me for a moment with a face that had lost all words. Well, what could he say? 'Become a goddess? Why would I make such a sacrifice?' Perhaps Lize Allenheim would have done it, but the current me, Lize Cayenne, had no intention of giving up who I am now. 'If it's working for a salary, maybe. But asking me to sell my face for free? And while living away from home? No way.' I thought Heinrich was rational and clear about separating public and private matters, but it seems I…

"What?" Goddess? Me...?? I was so shocked that words failed me. 'Me... Lize Allenheim is the incarnation of the goddess?' "But I am......" "As I thought, you didn't know yourself." Heinrich spoke calmly, as if he had expected this reaction from me. He looked at the statue. "That statue was not only made to honor the goddess, but also contained a part of her soul." I could only listen to his explanation in a daze. Even while thinking it was unbelievable, for some reason, I…

When Heinrich saw me, he looked slightly surprised but soon greeted me kindly. "Lady Cayenne has arrived. It's been a while." I also greeted him respectfully. "Your Highness." Heinrich nodded lightly, then turned his gaze to Marvin behind me. Marvin, surrounded by knights and wearing handcuffs, was startled when his eyes met Heinrich's. He quickly bowed his head. "......! Y-Y-Your Highness......" "It seems you know who I am." Heinrich spoke gently and gestured to the knight who…

The next morning, after a good night's sleep for the first time in a while, I immediately wanted to go to Juan with the recording stone. I planned to discuss how to edit the documentary of the Kelston residents. 'I should start preparing for the release....' Just as I was thinking about inviting Louisa to the mansion to prepare promotional articles and catch up after a long time, someone knocked on the door. It was Sylvia. She bowed slightly in greeting and said: "The head of the family…
