Whoosh! An arrow sliced through the air and hit its target. “Another bullseye!” The attendants ran to retrieve the fallen target. Hart, the one who shot the arrow, casually lowered his bow, looking unfazed. “Your archery skills are as sharp as ever, brother. But I heard you only went fishing at the imperial hunting grounds….

I was picking herbs in the glass greenhouse when it happened. “My Lady, you have a visitor.” Today, I was expecting Todd, Natu, and Aite to visit. They were coming to report on the Grand Temple’s activities. “Come on in. I’ve been waiting for you…!” Without asking who it was, I happily opened the greenhouse…

“What’s going on?” Hanelope asked and Brantley was by her side. “I- It’s nothing much. The employee of the Grand Temple…,” the lady explained to Hanelope, who looked curious. Hanelope frowned and said, “They’re saying I tried to steal something from the Grand Temple? Did the employee really say that?” “It’s all a misunderstanding. How…

“You must already know, Saint, that I have a wife,” Hart spoke in a polite tone. His calm demeanor, without a hint of agitation, made Yenna’s insides churn. “A wife? Your Highness, I thought you were alone…” Could he possibly be talking about that woman who died? Yenna’s face twisted in disbelief. Hart continued, “In…

I hid my injured hand behind my back. But there was no way Dad would miss it. And his smile dissipated. He approached me with quick steps and asked, “How did you get hurt? Is it painful?” He didn’t seem angry, but he did look quite surprised. ‘Why is Dad fretting over this small thing?’…

Natu looked at me with a worried expression. His concern that he might have done something wrong was a little endearing. “You didn’t do anything wrong. But there are other ways to say goodbye, so I’ll teach you next time.” “As expected, Hanelope is too kind.” Natu seemed relieved at my response. Aite’s face suddenly…

After Prache took possession of the Pope’s body, it became that of a young, handsome man. He had a well-nourished figure, unlike the thin man he had been just a while back. It was all thanks to the poor people who had come to the Great Temple. The reason the temple accepted the poor was…

‘Probably these are the nobles that are against Brantley.’ Brantley was now the head of the Eisen Duchy. Ironically, it was the young nobles of the Temple faction who were the most hostile towards him. On the other hand, most of the Emperor’s faction nobles were actually quite favorable towards him. I looked at the…

Swoosh-! With a sharp sound of an arrow slicing through the air, a monster that had been hovering in the sky crashed to the ground. “Oh! Another monster has been taken down!” The people cheered. The voices belonged to the nobles in the imperial palace hunting grounds. Recently, small monsters had begun to appear in…

The price of the Morning Glories fell again. This situation made Duke Eisen desperate as might lose his entire fortune invested in the Morning Glories. He was determined to win the lawsuit against a mere ten-year-old child. He thought that if he demanded astronomical compensation, people would believe the Morning Glories were worth that much….

In the dark alley adjacent to a main street, the sounds of loud shouting and things breaking could be heard repeatedly. People dressed in fine clothes and walking with dignified expressions stopped in their tracks. They quickly understood the situation upon seeing the large carriage standing at the alley’s entrance. The carriage bore the crest…

When we met again, Brantley sometimes had those inexplicable eyes. Looking into those eyes for too long made my stomach churn uncomfortably, so I looked away and chuckled as if nothing was wrong. “I told you. I want to make money.” “If you’re going to lie, do it more properly. And if you’re teasing, put…

How dare they try to snatch the exclusive contract that he had secured with so much effort! Duke Eisen could not let this happen. “There’s no time to waste. Contact Hellas immediately! Tell her I’ll buy all additional quantities that become available.” “Yes, Your Grace.” But Hellas did not respond at all. It was only…

The Duke of Eisen was taken aback by the unexpected response. “What do you mean? Why do you need time to think about it?” Duke Eisen had never dreamed that his proposal would be rejected. He had underestimated the merchant based on her appearance. ‘How can she refuse?’ Moreover, it was a situation eerily similar…

Duke Eisen held his breath as he looked up at the man before him. Despite the veil covering his face, he somehow seemed to be smiling. “I needed to have a word with you, Your Grace.” “You have something to discuss with me?” “Yes. Come in.” At Mut’s command, one of his subordinates, who had…
