Walter, the Gentleman Sent from Heaven My lips felt parched dry. "My feet hurt so I took off my shoe for a moment, and it flew off over there. Just then Young Duke Chaplin entered the lounge and was about to pick up my shoe." I quickly summarized the commotion that had just occurred in one sentence. Although there were some strange parts, at least there would be no falsehood mixed into my eyes. Somehow feeling self-conscious, I watched his pupils carefully, but they were gray and calm,…-

It's Been a While, Paula "The Emperor has prepared an enormous number of archers, ready to attack the moment Young Duke Rochester and the Demahen Knights reach the port." At those words, the Duchess and I simultaneously squeezed our eyes shut. No matter how great Ricardo's martial prowess was, could he block thousands of arrows flying at him the moment he disembarked from the ship? After that, the man delivered a few more reports with pessimistic content. After he finished his report and left,…

Shut Your Mouth, Wesley I was momentarily frightened by the Emperor's sharp gaze, but I put more strength into my back and stood firmly in place. "Do you even realize how insolent you're being right now? Yes, I'll acknowledge that you're quite brave. But even so. To think that my son and Rochester's ability user turned back time just to save you alone—I can't believe it even as I witness it." As I realized that the Emperor indeed knew everything, his words continued. "I am the Emperor who…

The Beginning of a Long Night Unable to tell whether Julian was acting so impatient because of something specific, or whether his feelings had been complicated by Robert and he was simply moving as his heart dictated, her thoughts deepened for a moment, but his lips urgently pressing against hers caused her musings to evaporate into thin air. When she pulled her body back, breathless, Julian gave her a moment to catch her breath. But only for a moment. As he grasped her chin in his hand and tilted…

The Prelude to a New Life Everyone within the system knew that Ricardo's knights had practically occupied the Imperial Palace. Due to the Emperor's strangely quiet behavior, all sorts of strange rumors circulated in high society, but Ricardo and Rochester, the actual protagonists of this affair, remained silent. Amid all this, Ricardo, who had returned victorious from war, hastened his marriage to me, who had received an ambiguous oracle, and the Grand Priest attended, whether willingly or…

Micheela Cor (1) Looking at the names written on the paper, I could feel it clearly. The tide had definitely turned in Rochester's favor. Nevertheless, the Emperor's maniacal words about killing them so quietly that not even a mouse or bird would know kept haunting me. Death was the end. It left nothing behind. As the Duchess had said, Ricardo's or Duke Rochester's death might be a glorious one, but I thought the phrase "glorious death" was nothing more than a terrible deception. 'I have to…

Micheela Cor (2) Thanks to Freddy sending a messenger ahead to relay the news, I was able to meet Walter without waiting long. When he entered the drawing room where I was, his face was stiff with tension he hadn't quite managed to hide. The thought crossed my mind that I hadn't even thanked him for last time, and here I was again to make another unreasonable request, but I didn't have the luxury to worry about propriety right now. "You've come?" Barely suppressing my desire to immediately…

I Won't Lose to the Fate of the Oracle Even the next day, Walter could not go to Ricardo. He experimented to see if he had lost his ability, but there was no problem with his power at all. Because of this, he assumed that Ricardo must currently be inside the labyrinth. The labyrinth was the domain of the gods and an unknown world that only those who possessed its map could enter. Three more days passed, and then Duke Rochester came directly to the Chaplin estate. As soon as Gerald entered the…

The Key to the Labyrinth "Seeing you like this... it's just like that time." Sabrina tried to shake off her anxiety and gently stroked Lienne's hair, whispering. "That time, I mean. After our Young Duke left the Fennel Count family, when you suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed." "......" "I thought you were really dead. I only found out later that it was because you helped Rochester's power manifest." Sabrina cleared her trembling voice with a cough and kept smoothing Lienne's…

Everything of Mine is All Yours Julian's golden pupils dilated wide before soon disappearing beneath his eyelids. Even as she felt the dizzying sensation of hot breaths mixing and the entire world flickering, Sabrina felt sorrowful thinking that he wouldn't be feeling the same sensations she was. "Nothing changes." The more sorrowful she felt, the lighter and sweeter her words became. No answer came back except for the rough breathing following her words that spilled out like a…
