Ricardo's Return (3) The Grand Priest is elected by the votes of the priests. In particular, senior priests have voting rights equivalent to thirty times that of ordinary priests, and since all of them wanted to drag the Grand Priest down from his position, replacing the Grand Priest would be easily accomplished. If the Grand Priest had truly followed only the will of the gods as he claimed, the senior priests would not have all risen against him in unison. Thanks to this, Ricardo was able to return to the…-

Robert Visits the Paquin Residence (2) "As I told you then, I haven't yet acquired the refinement to invoke my honor over men's light jesting... So I'm not particularly concerned about that matter, and I hope Lord Henson won't dwell on it either." He nodded and placed the hand that had been holding the teacup on his knee. She thought the gleam in his eyes as he looked at her seemed somehow familiar. "Then I'll speak directly to the point." "I'd prefer that." "As you heard in Lethon last…

I Thought You Liked Me? "Of course, it was a proposal with conditions attached." "Conditions?" The question carried an unmistakable sneer. "I don't want to talk about it, but do I have to keep going?" Julian gazed at her silently once more. Under his burning eyes that seemed determined to hear everything, Sabrina let out a long sigh, and Julian's hand hanging at his side twitched. "In Dermeier, a woman's chastity is more important than a history of having been engaged, they say." "What…

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…

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…

Ricardo's Return (4) Duke Paquin was away on business in a distant continent and couldn't be met, but judging from what his vassals' wives were gossiping about regarding his character, it was obvious how he would treat Sabrina. Feeling as if she were blocked by walls on all sides, Lienne sighed, and Sabrina tapped the table with her fingers. "Do you know how great the Demahen Knights are?" Sabrina's voice, cutting through the heavy atmosphere, was tinged with light laughter. Even in this situation, she…

Ricardo's Return (5) Why were the duke's estates in this country so vast? The journey to see Ricardo felt unbearably long. The carriage Julian had provided was a two-horse open carriage prepared for traveling relatively short distances from the estate. The driver's seat was higher than where I sat, so I perched awkwardly on the seat, unable to settle my hips properly, keeping my eyes fixed ahead. Before long, we entered the cypress tree-lined drive that was the entrance to the Paquin estate. The sky…

Lienne, This Time You Give In "Don't believe me. Whether Your Highness believes me or not isn't what's important." "......." "Nothing changes just because I arbitrarily moved the date up by one day. What matters is that His Highness the Crown Prince acknowledged this engagement and personally removed his ring to stamp his seal." "But the lady's name—the signature—is still blank, isn't it?" "As you know, I've been busy lately cleaning up the mess caused by His Highness the Prince." If Ricardo…
