<Episode 146>   Just then. When I turned my eyes and my field of vision expanded, I spotted a sturdy woman nearby. Those burdensome sparkling eyes belonged to…   “Miss Tara?”   “Yes!” Standing next to Tara was the relatively tall and thin older Calpenweaver sister. She approached me with a bright smile and politely…

<Episode 145>   It was hard to open my mouth easily. This was because the word ‘love’ that had come out of Rue’s mouth was both very unfamiliar and also not at all light.   ‘Does Rue find it difficult to clearly define his emotions?’   It didn’t seem like that. Rather, it seemed like…

<Episode 144>   Every time I face Rue, I painfully realize the fact that I have no way with words. Among them, especially today, I felt a great astonishment to the point I was distraught. ‘H-how could he… say such embarrassing words so casually like that?’   I wasn’t saying it was weird. The time…

<Episode 143>   Count Serenier, delicately picking up a piece of caramel candy from the table, popped it into his mouth. One of his eyebrows twitched.   “Jurian Berkeley Gratten? That’s one remarkable piece of information.” “It’s true. I’m certain.”   Another caramel piece was thrown into my open mouth. My tongue shivered as I…

<Episode 142>   The incident that occurred during the hunting competition and its full story were not exposed to the outside world.   This was possible because the hunting festival was exclusively composed of noble families. These individuals, united by their privileged status, unanimously agreed that ‘there was no need to further exacerbate the anxiety…

<Episode 141>   Was the appearance of the devils not officially known yet? Raphael, who’d gone on an investigation, would soon find the corpses of the devils lined up in the west, and the confusion would be sorted out.   ‘The Devil.’   I hope we will never have to go through that terrible war…

For Yueblue, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡ <Episode 140>   At once, the cold eyes of the sword faced straight ahead. “Andert.”   He uttered my name like a habit, and I instinctively drew my sword. The noise produced by the clash of our horse’s hooves quickly caught the attention of the nearby devil….

For Yueblue, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡ <Episode 139>   ‘…Let’s think about that later. I need to move right now.’   As I mounted the saddle again, the knight who had risen to his feet with a groan asked me,   “Are you going to the headquarters like this?”   “No, to the…

For Somebody/P, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡ <Episode 138>   Although it was very late into the war, Rowayne still served as a messenger for the swordmaster. Even if he hadn’t personally cut down a devil himself, he must have at least faced a living devil. In addition, since he was the Vice Captain…

For Somebody/P, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡ <Episode 137>   In case of an incident.   ‘Seeing that Rue gave a similar warning… there seems to be something going on.’   I examined the swordmaster. I wondered if the Emperor and that man had some hidden plan I wasn’t aware of, but it was…

<Episode 136>   Just before my two arms could touch his body, his hand stretched out and pulled me towards him.   Rue tightly embraced me, taking my breath away. He left a deep kiss on my forehead, as if stamping it, and then gently kissed my eyelids and the area below my cheekbones.  …

<Episode 135>   The Emperor lived in the innermost part of the Imperial Palace. The space where he lived was very serene and calm, as if its silence was a law in itself, and it was intensely dazzling.   Squeak.   What greeted me as soon as the door opened was the majestic ceiling mural…

For Boogie, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡ <Episode 134>   Raphael’s horse halted.   Soon, the vigilant eyes of the hunter which had been scouring the overgrown grasses turned to me.   “What I would do if Andert is alive?” His fierce gaze seemed to challenge me, as if saying, ‘How dare you?’  …

For Boogie, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡ <Episode 133>   Rowayne was an excellent hunter. Four out of five arrows he shot hit their target, and he accurately tracked the prey’s movement routes with his keen senses.   After about 30 minutes, the weight on my horse’s hind became heavy with nearly five prey….

<Episode 132>   Why didn’t the emperor show up? Because of the maid, who heard about what happened at the banquet from me back at the townhouse, I didn’t have to search far for an answer.   “Showing the emperor’s well-being is one of the important means to enhance the unity of the nation. Not…

<Episode 131>   The story was simple. Viscountess Werkhord referred to the weakened financial state of the Werkhords’ and sought a noblewoman that could return the house to its former glory. However, I wasn’t the marriage partner the Werkhord family wanted for Rowayne.   “Well, Viscount Weatherwoods… To be honest, it’s a burdensome place to…
