If Brantley was not released, Hart was prepared to face the gods. ‘It’s not out of any particular fondness for Brantley but purely for Hanelope’s sake.’ But to his surprise, Grauzer nodded obediently. “…I see. She cares for him…,” his voice was tinged with bitterness. Yet, a faint smile spread across Grauzer’s face. “Then I…

Prache was wounded in his battle with Grauzer. Moreover, he had broken the taboo set by the “Primordial God,” inflicting internal injuries as well. In other words, he wasn’t in perfect condition. ‘If I get hit by another one of those attacks in this state, I can’t guarantee victory.’ Far from victory, he might even…

It seemed that Prache had realized it too. His face hardened, and like a rusty machine, he creaked as he slowly turned to look at Seo Dajong. Seo Dajong was in pain, being choked by him. As he gazed at her with a strange expression, Prache suddenly opened his mouth. His mouth stretched impossibly wide,…

“Let me show you what happened during the two regressions.” Prache approached and gripped my neck tightly. I met his abnormal gaze while being choked. “!” It was a horrifying sensation that made me feel like my soul was being pulled out somewhere. As I squeezed my eyes shut in agony, instead of darkness, a…

After turning the wedding hall into utter chaos per plans, Hart ran toward the bride’s room. He left the door slightly ajar to allow Brantley and the knights to follow. “Patrick!” Prince Patrick was sprawled out on a long sofa. Hart examined his condition. His eyes were unfocused, almost like a doll’s. It was a…

“Just came to mind?” Brantley nodded in a confused state. I was scared. Something that could influence Brantley. Something that could give him knowledge about the magic of the gods- ‘That could only be the medical book passed on by my family.’ Whenever we touched the book, it led me to Grauzer. ‘Could Brantley have…

“A.. woman you.. Loved?!” I doubted my ears. God fell in love with a human?! Seeing my disbelief, Grauzer gave a bitter smile. — “Are you having a hard time believing? Or do you find me pathetic? Well.. every god who found out that I loved her laughed at me.” Grauzer scoffed at himself. “N-…

After parting ways with the three gods, I climbed into the carriage. “Shall I take you back to the estate, miss?” the coachman asked. I thought for a moment before replying, “Please take me to the Grand Temple.” I wanted to resolve this uneasy feeling inside me. ‘To do that, I need to meet the…

I wavered, overwhelmed by a shock that made me feel as though all the blood had been drained from my body. “Your Highness! Are you alright?” “She seems too shocked by the situation,” The noblewoman said in a panic. But the voices of Seo Dajong and Yenna continued to whisper mercilessly in my head. “Yeah…..

I replied with a sad expression, “I feel sorry that Yenna thought that way.” “It’s alright. We can get closer from now on. Once His Highness Prince Patrick returns, I’ll be sure to share this happy news with him first.” Yenna spoke generously as if she were the kindest person on this earth. I showed…

“It was Archbishop Liang’s doing. He, along with the high priests, used the missing people as sacrifices in a ritual. He wanted to plant a curse on His Majesty, the Emperor!” In order to save herself, Yenna pinned all the blame on Archbishop Liang and the priests. Strange traces of witchcraft and magical circles, things…

The air became chillingly tense. “What kind of nonsense is that?!” Prince Patrick shouted, his face twisted in anger, almost as if he were a different person. Grandfather scolded him harshly, “Be silent! I shall ask the missing persons directly. What happened?” “The Duke speaks the truth! I lost a great deal of money investing…

“Who was behind the trafficking?” Grandfather shouted at Patrick, who hesitated to answer. But Patrick remained silent. Grandfather asked again in frustration, “Why are you hesitating to answer?” “The culprit behind this crime was someone unexpected,” Patrick replied. “I believe the person involved still doesn’t fully understand the gravity of the situation. Or had been…

All three of them looked at me simultaneously for speaking up. Patrick frowned and Dad looked surprised. Even Grandfather looked slightly taken aback. Prince Patrick immediately objected, “Letting His Majesty’s birthday pass quietly is out of the question. Even if it was said with good intentions, it’s a disrespectful suggestion.” Then he sharply addressed Dad,…
