Part 2 Episode 2 Murder. How strange. I had not intimidated or threatened them. I had never stolen or seized their property, never threatened their livelihood, or handed over their family to human traffickers. Dwight was thus simply trying to kill me because I was the gardener, maid, and head maid of this mansion. Where…

The Peaceful Life Of A Maid Who Hides Her Power And Enjoys it Part 2, Cover Part 2, Episode 1 “Hmm.” I swept the area outside the large gate woven with melted iron bars. It was late afternoon with the scarlet hues of sunset. As the gardener of this house, my final task was to…

Episode 7 “What? Yes! I-I’m sorry, Your Highness! I always dozed off during history and social studies classes!” Natasha began to ramble on about the demi-gods of the Northern and Western continents. Of course, I didn’t even listen to her cultural classes. This was because, instead of stories from distant worlds I would never have…

Episode 6   Long after the sun had set, a new topic was being discussed inside the barracks of the headquarters of the Allied Forces.   Standing in front of the operational map was Count Rosebell, pointing his baton toward the eastern region of the Penrotta Empire.   A crimson line, signifying Mephisto’s army, was…

Episode 5   “Right, what about him? Eight years ago… Hmm. What was the name of that ignorant knight who did a similar thing, Andert?”   What was it again? When I couldn’t give a proper answer, Desherro, who’d been watching, said casually.   “It was Sir Griggs Paul, Natasha. I hate to say this…

Episode 4   The Swordmaster, who’d been quietly gazing up at the sky, turned his head and looked into my eyes.   “The strong are those who have nothing to protect. The reason the weak are weak is because they have things they want to keep, things they want to protect. But it’s not the…

Episode 3   And Desherro had as many as four younger sisters.   The image of girls who looked exactly like Desherro gathered together and smiling brightly, that I saw a few years ago in a family photo in passing, remained in my memory. Perhaps that’s why the letters that arrived for Desherro were always…

Episode 2   At that moment, the Swordmaster’s eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened. Exhausted eyes lingered on my face.   “There needs to be a decoy. I’ll move, so you must guard Sir Raphael.”   “No, I must be the one to move. We’ll soon be joined by the magic legion led by…

Episode 1   Side Story 1 – Secret Missives   6 years ago.   Inside the makeshift barracks that allowed you to breathe under a biting cold wave. The middle-aged commander, who was now emptying his third cup of coffee, slowly turned his head. A clear weariness showed on his deeply tanned face.   “What…

<Episode 195>   “…Rue?” The fourth marriage partner wasn’t Count Serenier, but Lord Calepa? Had the emperor truly gone mad?   No, that wasn’t it. No matter how crazy the emperor was, he couldn’t simply write the Calepa’s name on this paper. In other words, it meant that Rue had personally written his name on…

<Episode 194>   Rue stood leaning against a wide-open window, as if waiting. At that moment, it felt as if I’d gone back 160 years. The sight of him smiling grimly against the not-so-dark background evoked a tense feeling, reminiscent of my first encounter with a devil.   As I swallowed my dry saliva, his…

<Episode 193>   The decision to go to the Imperial Palace was made. Although it wasn’t planned in my schedule, I couldn’t pretend not to know, even after thinking about the identity of the monster called “Blue-haired North Continent God” ten times and worrying about it a hundred times, it was definitely Rue.   No…

<Episode 192>   ‘Another trick.’ Bernard, who swallowed a sigh, collected the scraps of paper that had turned into dust. Although Lord Calepa’s reaction was somewhat intense, it was not surprising. This was already the third time this happened.   It all started with a rumour that Princess Natasha would become the regent of the…

<Episode 191>   How to Raise Eggs.   I pondered in my mind, visualizing the round and smooth oval shape of an egg… No, a bird’s egg, as I eagerly rolled my eyes.   ‘Raising eggs, caring for bird eggs, proper nurturing methods for hawks…’   Never before had I looked at a list of…

<Episode 190>   Hello, Ash.   It’s embarrassing to start talking by myself in an empty room. Today is the day I die.   To be more precise, it’s the day I leave for a distant universe. I think you’ll fully understand what that means by now.   (Brief silence)   How have you been?…

<Episode 189>   The first breath was hot. Until the moment when the bold Rue’s warmth parted my lips, I had no choice but to be entranced, and carried away.   Rue’s eyes, which I could see from a distance where our eyelashes touched, were more beautiful than the universe itself. His head, which had…
