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…

Sabrina and Julian's Engagement (1) "I'm sorry about this, Walter. I was too impatient and begged His Highness the Crown Prince to let me get engaged before you." The man standing near the door came to Sabrina's side and wrapped his arm around her waist. As if in response, Sabrina's face flushed bright red. Just when had they prepared all this? Their actions, clearly a well-orchestrated performance, left me increasingly dumbfounded. "You see." Julian smiled at Walter and continued. "I received a…-

The Mysterious Woman from the Eastern Kingdom As Walter rode forward on his horse, he flinched momentarily and lost his grip on the reins. In that instant, Ricardo struck the ground hard with his rod, right next to where the stake was driven in. Unbelievably, the recoil pushed the massive iron stake upward. The horse stumbled sideways due to the rider losing control of the reins, and at the same time, Walter was thrown from his mount. While the horse neighed loudly and thrashed about, Ricardo…

Julian and Sabrina When a heavy silence descends between a man and woman, there's no turning back from that point. The smile disappeared from Sabrina's face as well. "Let go of my hand and then we'll talk." "I refuse." She was furious at the man's brazen face, which she was seeing after so long. The rule that whoever loses their composure first is defeated had long since vanished from her mind. "Are you suggesting we have this conversation here?" "Why, is there a problem?" Julian…

Lake Kinnels (2) When I looked at the owner's face as if seeking help, he grinned and launched into a lengthy explanation. Starting with how he began this shop following in his father's footsteps, his explanation continued without pause, covering everything from all the ingredients that go into the food to the process of preparing them himself. The hand still holding mine was interlocked without a single gap, and though the sun climbed high and brought sweltering heat, we silently listened to what…

The Emperor, Wesley Once the food was served again and all the bustling attendants had withdrawn, the Emperor set down his glass and looked directly at Stuart. "Why did you do such a thing?" At the abrupt question, Stuart raised his head and stared back at the Emperor. "What are you referring to?" "I'm asking why you handed Schneider's sword to Rochester." "Didn't I tell you I lost the bet?" The Emperor tilted his head and picked up his glass again. "Are you sick and dying soon, so…

Che Lín (5) "That's how it was..." Guan Wujue sighed softly, his eyes slowly closing as if sealing away a tragic chapter from the annals of history. "Emotional agitation triggers the Fengchun Sheng poison, and conversely, when the Fengchun Sheng poison strikes, it can also shake one's mental state. That's why the old Sect Leader required you from childhood to restrain your joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, to avoid meeting strangers, to stay away from worldly troubles—all to minimize the…-
