Cracks After Helena dropped the will in front of Garta, many things changed in Partren. On one hand, things also remained the same. Garta did not step down obediently. He desperately defended his authority by bringing up Gelda’s debauchery—how she had abandoned Spencer and left to live a wandering life. Because of this, the castle filled with Garta’s people for so long could not…

Did You Really Love Me? “Mother, I think a really beautiful child resembling him will be born. What would be good for the name?” Natasha embraced her swollen belly as if it were precious treasure and chattered proudly. Christine sat before her, showing a face trying to suppress nausea. Nevertheless, Natasha persisted in continuing her chatter. “Oh my, goodness gracious. I just felt the…

Broken and Crumbled, Worn and Slipping “Time is truly cruel, isn’t it. I suppose with your advanced age, your hearing has grown quite dull, Mother.” “Eugene!” “I can hardly find a reason not to accept Helena’s opinion, and you too should have no reason to oppose it out of tact. It would be best to cancel the birthday banquet altogether.” “What, what? How can…

Sound of the Wind “Even if everyone else doesn’t know, you’re the one who should know.” The voice that now sounded cracked and torn belonged to Helena. Helena didn’t like that either, so she held her breath tightly. The expression that had been swirling disappeared like footprints swept away on a sandy beach. This time, instead of just standing in confrontation, Helena pushed Eugene.…

Weakness Swish, swish. The sound of cutting grass came first, followed by the footsteps of three or four pairs of feet. Among them were dragging footsteps accompanied by rough breathing. Finally, Dion, his face clearly showing exhaustion, grabbed Ian who was walking ahead. “I’m giving you one last warning – if we keep going like this, you’ll lose a cherished retainer today.” “That would…

Weak, Foolish, and Powerless Helena left the smithy and headed straight to Gelda’s office. The room, which usually didn’t turn off its lights until one or two in the morning, was still brightly lit. Her footsteps echoed in the quiet surroundings. Having heard it early, Gelda’s voice came first before Helena could place her hand on the door handle. “Come in.” Helena entered without…

Grace in Enemy Territory Even the seat where they had placed her, praising her as today’s protagonist, was vile. The center of the long table, directly across from Christine. They had left only that seat empty—one where everyone could easily stare and throw words at her—waiting for Helena to walk into this hellhole of her own accord. But today’s Helena was different from before.…

Shining and Beautiful “Then beg.” “Don’t, brother!” Heidi cried out from beside him like a single scream, trying to stop him. Beelzebuth didn’t spare even a glance in that direction and urged again. “Beg.” “Save me, please save me, brother.” “Ha, how troublesome you are. Don’t make me repeat the same words over and over. Is your desperation only to that extent?” Seeming unsatisfied…

Enduring Love Helena moistened her lips with her half-filled glass and only then looked ahead. Lady Jenia, whose eyes met hers, flinched. “The lady prepared today’s luncheon, I heard. The taste wasn’t bad, but considering this is a charity event wishing for the end of famine, it would have been better to arrange something more modest. Ah, were you perhaps so absorbed in news…

Cut Spider Legs Ian wanted to know what expression Helena had on her face when she nodded back then. But the opportunity never came. Helena hurriedly disappeared because her brother came looking for her, shouting loudly. A few minutes later, a spider dropped onto Ian’s head with a thud. Soon after, a girl’s scream was heard. “Get away, brother! Let me go…!” With vibrations…
