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…-

His and My Cause of Death Despite my attempts to stop him, the man reached his hand toward my face. Before I could prevent it, his arm pulled my body close. The two of us embraced each other like that. Only then did I realize. The fact that his and my cause of death before time was turned back had been the same. The sudden voice came again. A bitter laugh escaped at that unpleasant voice. An opportunity? What opportunity? The opportunity to burn to death again? Or perhaps the opportunity to confirm…

I Won't Run Away "I won't run away. I won't even be hurt by things I haven't done wrong. Now that the enemy is clear, it's actually fortunate." Just as Ricardo had said, if he was swept away by water, I could be swept away with him, and if he was struck dead by lightning, I could thrust a blade into my own body. And if he should happen to burn in fire, all I had to do was leap into the same flames as him. So there was nothing to fear, nothing to complicate. "I won't waver, nor will I hide…

Like the wolf that symbolized the Chaplin family, he would take only one woman as his companion. And yet what such a man desired so desperately was another man's fiancée. Watching his friend lose even his sense of reality before love, Stuart's mouth went dry, unable to figure out what words to begin with. Why, of all people, was Lienne his destiny—that lofty man's fate? As far as…

Rochester's Struggle No one answered the words spoken with pale brown eyes flashing. Harriot forced an awkward smile, trying to hide the humiliation clearly visible on his face. "Since Rochester refuses to hand over the oracle's saintess and persists in resisting, I have no choice but to step forward like this." "......." "The Grand Priest is greatly angered. I sweated quite a bit trying to dissuade him from immediately storming the winter mansion and dragging out Lady Fennel." "You became the Crown…

Harriot and Judith's Wedding Even though there was no way my voice could reach him, Ricardo looked at me again. "Farewell, Ricardo." Watching him prepare to leave naturally brought back memories of my childhood. That day when Ricardo left Count Fennel's estate in a pitch-black carriage. The child of the oracle whom I had protected with my life had now begun a new journey toward the highest heights. From childhood until now, he has been engaged in an endless battle with nothing other than…

Leave, As Soon as Possible"I don't know what impact my words will have on you, so I... hesitated for quite a long time. Perhaps that's why things have reached this point?"".......""I couldn't wait any longer. A woman carrying a child places only one thing above all other choices."I steadied myself. What she was about to say would surely shake me. I removed my trembling hand from the teacup and placed it on my lap.My body trembled finely, but I took a deep breath and tried to steady myself as much as…

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…
