"Help me! Bandits!" At Charlotte's scream, the man quickly assessed the situation and, with a fierce expression that didn't match his handsome face, stopped his horse. "Bandits? How dare there be thieves in Lord Divlik's empire. Arrest them all!" "Yes, Sir Finn!" At the command of the man called Finn, the soldiers following him dismounted and instantly captured the bandits who had been threatening Charlotte and the farmer. "Are you alright?" "Yes, Sir Knight." Looking at Finn as he…-

"Lies." Divlik slowly raised his hand toward Eva's face but clenched his fist in midair without touching her. He returned to himself the very words he had spoken to Eva so many times. Lies. The claim that he had become curious was a lie. —But why didn't you kill her immediately when you saw her? Because it wasn't that kind of anger...... it wasn't the kind of hatred that could be satisfied by simply killing her. The reason Divlik hadn't killed Eva immediately upon seeing her was this:…

Mia smiled sweetly before answering. "The bleeding stopped immediately. Fortunately, while looking for herbs to help Miss Eva's eyes, I had prepared other herbs that might be needed in this castle, so I was able to use them right away." "Well done." Divlik visibly relaxed. Seeing her opportunity, Mia placed a small medicine bottle she had been holding in both hands on the office desk. "Though you didn't ask for it, I prepared this medicine that might help your throat. It won't completely heal…

As soon as Divlik finished speaking, Eva asked, "Why did you do it?" "Do what?" "Didn't you say it was your hometown? Why did you reduce it to ruins? I heard after the war ended that you showed mercy to nobles who governed their people well, and that you passed through without touching a blade of grass if the people there said they would follow you." "That's right." "Then why did you do it? Those who ruled Florin must have been good people. None of the people living there would have refused…

Bubble, bubble, hearing the sound of boiling water and smelling the familiar scent of herbs she had encountered before, Eva slowly opened her eyes. It was late afternoon, with the sun casting long shadows as it descended. "Miss Eva, are you feeling better?" Tap, tap, tap, Mia, who had been grinding herbs in a small bowl at the bedroom table, noticed that Eva had regained consciousness and rose to approach her. "How are you feeling, Miss Eva? You've been unconscious for an entire day. Please wait a…

In spring, the path leading into Florin was lined with peach trees laden with pink fruits hanging in clusters. While walking along the path, gazing at the not-yet-ripened fruits, Leon would invariably appear and wrap his arms around Eva's waist. —Leon. After sharing their bodies for the first time, the couple continued to embrace each other away from people's eyes: in summer among the flowers that bloomed densely on the hills, in autumn on the scattered fallen leaves, and in winter under bare…

They say when people face something utterly absurd, they laugh. "Ha, haha......" As Acelia laughed hollowly while staring into space, her maids approached with concern. "Your Highness, are you alright?" "Is something wrong?" "This is ridiculous!" Acelia jumped up and began pacing rapidly around the room. "This makes no sense. I must have seen something wrong. How stressed have I been lately? Seeing hallucinations. ......Hallucinations? Right? It must be a hallucination. Heh, hehehe. It…-

The princess was clearly being backed into a corner. Yet instead, she used the crisis as a stepping stone to leap even higher. Diego recalled the satisfied expression on the emperor's face when the princess brought back the favorable negotiation terms for the Empire. His teeth ground together. "......The princess is hiding something." "Pardon?" Though his subordinate questioned him, Diego sank into thought with a hardened expression. 'Did she join hands with Princess Lenoa?…

"This is about Her Highness the Princess, right? How she hides her identity, mingles with the people, and willingly helps those in trouble." "Today she's a flower-selling girl. The day before yesterday she was a stall vendor? That slap was so satisfying!" A passerby chuckled, saying such men should all be thrown in prison. The person he was talking with expressed concern. "But isn't her method too aggressive? She could have just called the guards." "Come on, that's possible because she's Her…

The hearing was heated from the start. "We need to take a firm stance! Why should the Empire bow to the likes of Fernando? Bluntly speaking, the culprit hasn't even been identified yet. Why should we take a submissive position?" "That's right. If they look down on us, the Empire's prestige is finished, finished!" The hawks insisted they should never appear weak, even if it meant war. "But a prince who came as a state guest was harmed. He was even the strongest crown prince candidate among the…
