EP: 108   “There is evidence. This is it.”   Nicholas proudly laid down a piece of paper on the table. It was a short letter left by Julia, the last estate. The infamous Kai Crawford was indeed the sorcerer with eerie black eyes. He was an arrogant and ruthless wizard who extinguished his opponents’…

EP: 109   Storm   Muriel kissed Kaiton with trembling breath. Kaiton closed his eyes slightly and received Muriel’s kiss. As their trembling subsided, his dense and thick eyelashes fluttered softly.   The cautious yet intense flow of air surrounded the two as if about to explode. When his black eyes looked at her, it…

EP: 106   “Thank you.”   It was when Muriel heard the news that they’d arrived at Rockford’s hometown and dashed out like an arrow. Onda spoke sheepishly to the back of Kaiton’s head, which was about to follow Muriel out. It was at the last moment when he mustered up the courage to say…

EP: 105   “I’ll start.”   Without another word, Kaiton immediately placed his hand on Ondal’s eyes. Before placing his hand, he glanced at Ondal once. He had a grim and desolate expression, as if he had come to sell his soul to the devil. He also looked exhausted and worn out like a man…

EP: 104   The lobby of the Ghost Estate was busier than ever. Even though only agile and fit children were selected, there was still much to prepare for the journey that would last five days. There were many things to be managed for those who remained in the estate, so there were also many…

EP: 103   He was angry. Muriel finally realized that he was punishing her. He wasn’t yelling, or resenting her, just subtly keeping his distance, but she felt strangely and intensely anxious. It was ridiculous. She’d endured Kaiton’s coldness for so long, she couldn’t believe that him acting like the old days felt so unfamiliar….

  EP: 102   Muriel walked as if running away. She couldn’t tell what kind of expression he had when she could not give him the answer he wanted and repeatedly said sorry like a parrot. She didn’t have the courage to meet his eyes. When she saw his chest shaking at the edge of…

Changing CC to Cece   EP 103: Funeral of the Abandoned   At the sudden scream that seemed to naturally pop out, Kaiton’s eyebrows shot up. Whether deliberately or unconsciously, Kaiton’s red tongue swept across his lips. He looked sensual enough to double her embarrassment. She gulped without realizing it and averted her gaze, flustered….

EP: 100   ***   The first thing that caught Muriel’s eyes when she woke up was Kaiton’s side profile. He was completely absorbed in his work without noticing that Muriel had woken up. His lips were tightly shut, and his focused brow showed his concentration. Kaiton, who usually approached magic with a nonchalant attitude,…

EP: 99   Muriel opened her eyes in a familiar place. A place where an unmelting snowman sat by the window, where firewood with the smell of snow was piled high next to the fireplace. The house was also filled with hand-made props that seemed to be made with sincerity. It was the house on…

EP: 98   “I have nowhere to go. Tucker and Rockford are in the same situation. They both may look otherwise, but… they’re good people. They’ll be nice to you, sister. Can you please take us with you?”   What do you mean nice? They were just chasing her to kill her. Tucker also seemed…

EP: 97   When fear didn’t show in Muriel’s eyes, the tip of Tucker’s knife dug into her skin. It was meant to frighten her. However, even at a glance, the woman, who seemed like a noble lady raised in a precious house, was not afraid at all. His eyes read a face filled with…

EP: 96   The expedition team setup to retrieve the last fragment was much more colorful than the previous one. Unlike last time, which only consisted of Kaiton, Muriel, and Fen, this time Ondal, August, Debbie, and Sadie joined as well. With the addition of these four, the scale was quite big.   “I’m coming,…

EP: 95   “Why… is everyone gathered here?”   This was too much… Muriel looked at the people filling her room. All the black wizards, including Debbie and Sadie, as well as August, Kaiton, and Ondal, were gathered in Muriel’s room.   It was so hot that it was hard to breathe. Muriel wondered how…

EP: 94   “What are you doing…”   Muriel nervously paced back and forth, watching Kaiton with her eyes. He was fighting against the creature that had finally appeared. It was a demon harboring a fragment of Ur’s sculpture, just as the rumors had said.   The creature had a peculiar appearance, as if it…

EP: 93   “We’re going to rest here for a while. Take a short nap.”   Kaiton lit a small fire in front of the small cave. The search for monsters was taking longer, and the surroundings had already turned into a pitch-black night. The situation was bad. Since she planned to return to the…
