‘Heron is looking for someone?’ Heron Idealis. Whether it was because of his sharp personality or simply his preference for keeping people at a distance, his social circle was even smaller than mine, despite the countless deaths I had endured, which had made me numb to relationships.

- ̊ · : * ✧ * : · ̊ The moment I spotted the footprints on the road, I stopped the carriage. “Ah, my lady! Why did you stop all of a sudden?” “I think I saw my brother.” “Young Master Heron?” Marie, who had followed me out of the carriage without knowing what was going on, hurriedly chased after me. “Are you sure you weren’t mistaken?

Now it’s becoming a bigger problem.” Ban muttered as he entered the makeshift barracks, brushing the dust off his clothes. As he glanced around the inside of the tent, he frowned when he didn’t see Lev and spoke up. “It seems Lev is once again staying by the corpse without even eating.” “Judging by your face, something’s bothering you.” At…

- Marie, who had gotten into the carriage, spoke in a bubbly voice. “Thanks to you today, Lady, I got to enjoy real desserts to my heart’s content! There’s no one happier than me in Arbonis right now!” “Did you like them?” “Absolutely! Honestly, even though this café is famous, I didn’t expect much. But now that I’ve tried it, I totally get why it’s so popular. There wasn’t a single item on the menu that wasn’t delicious!” “Did you bring the leftovers?” “Of…

- “....” “Of course, my brother insists that’s not true.” Her words made my lips feel inexplicably dry. Perideline continued with a sulky expression, likely remembering the way Estieren had dismissed her claim. “It’s not that I’m underestimating my brother’s abilities, but he was only fourteen at the time! Even if he could wield aura, how could a fourteen-year-old possibly save me? Don’t you think so?” I gave her a nervous smile, unsure how to respond to her attempt to…

- “I did want to meet you as soon as possible, but I didn’t expect we’d meet this quickly! This isn’t a dream, right?” Perideline’s eyes sparkled as she spoke. I chuckled softly at her excitement. “I was the one who urgently requested this meeting, so thank you for coming out like this. Oh, and if there’s anything you’d like to eat, feel free to order it all. Today’s my treat.” “Ah, really? That’s too much… Oh, no! I didn’t mean to suggest I doubted the marquis…

- “Lady Peridelin seems like a really nice person, but more importantly, I think His Highness the Grand Duke is interested in you!” “Huh?” “Actually, I thought something was odd ever since the last time he gave you the lily-of-the-valley accessory!” “Well, I’m not sure.” I subtly leaned back, feeling a bit overwhelmed by her intense gaze, but she continued excitedly. “Honestly, why else would someone as important as His Highness go so far as to treat you like that? Isn’t…

- “Ha…” I let out a shallow sigh as I headed toward Erhel’s central plaza with Marie. In front of me, the source of all my fatigue flickered, almost as if taunting me. [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Ongoing mission — Erase the shadow of death looming over Arbonis! Suspicious Deaths (1/0) ] It seemed my worries from before were unfounded, as the number on the mission window hadn’t changed by the next day. ‘I must’ve been overthinking things.…

- His aide, Liam, spotted Estieren approaching and acknowledged him. Reflexively, Vien turned his gaze at the sound, only to feel a sharp pain in his finger, causing him to flinch. “What...?” Startled, he quickly checked his hand, but it was perfectly clean, with not even a small scratch. In disbelief, Vien opened and closed his hand before straightening up and turning to face Estieren. He nodded slightly at Estieren’s greeting and then gestured toward the Boundary Forest, from which Estieren…

- ̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊ “Are you okay, Young Lady?” “Yeah, I’m fine. I'll just have a cup of tea, Marie.” I was thinking about what the numbers in the mission window meant and ended up staying up all night with my eyes wide open. I rubbed my eyes, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle in. Marie, who had brought the tea, looked at me with concern. “Did you not get much sleep?” “I had some things to think about.” “Were you able to sort…
